Highlights

CEO Commentary
Mr. Russell Ellwanger, Chief Executive Officer of TowerJazz, commented, “Our strategy to answer the major analog trends, aligned with customers that are the leaders in their respective sectors, has proven itself. Having achieved a $1.2 billion annualized revenue run rate in the second quarter of 2016 with annualized $150 million net profit, and guiding a $1.3 billion run rate for the third quarter, up 30% over the fourth quarter of 2015 achieved target of $1 billion run rate, is a substantial verification of this strategy. Our major focus remains those trends that drive the Internet of Things namely seamless connectivity, low power consumption and sensors. To address those trends, our business units serve multiple diversified and growing application segments with unique and differentiated technology offerings.”

Second Quarter Results Overview
Revenues for the second quarter of 2016 were a record of $305 million, reflecting 29% growth as compared with $236 million in the second quarter of 2015 and 10% higher than $278 million in the immediately preceding quarter.

Second quarter of 2016 gross, operating profits and margins increased as compared with the second quarter of 2015 and with the immediately preceding quarter, mainly driven by the success of our strategy for capacity growth executed in Fab 2 and Fab 3, cross qualification and offloading optimization activities, as well as TPSCo third party customers’ revenue growth.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2016 was $73 million or 24% gross margin. This represents an increase as compared with $52 million in gross profit in the second quarter of 2015 or 22% gross margin.

Operating profit for the second quarter of 2016 was $40 million, or 13% operating margin, as compared with $22 million reported in the second quarter of 2015 with 9% operating margin.

Net profit for the second quarter of 2016 was $38 million, or $0.45 basic earnings per share. Net profit for the second quarter of 2016 included $7 million non-cash financing expenses relating to the early repayment of the Israeli banks’ loans recorded in accordance with US GAAP ASC 825 and $10 million net gain from the acquisition of the San Antonio fabrication facility by TowerJazz Texas (“TJT”), calculated in accordance with US GAAP ASC-805 “Business Combinations”. Provisional gain from the San Antonio fab acquisition, net recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2016, totaled $51 million. Net profit was $8 million in the second quarter of 2015, and $66 million in the first quarter of 2016, which included $41 million gain from the San Antonio fab acquisition.

Following this fundraising, the Company prepaid its entire $78 million outstanding Israeli bank loans.

The Company presents its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of the financial information in this release, including in the financial tables below, which we refer to in this release as “adjusted financial measures”, are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in Regulation G and related reporting requirements promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission as they apply to our Company. These adjusted financial measures are calculated excluding one or more of the following: (1) amortization of acquired intangible assets; (2) compensation expenses in respect of equity grants to directors, officers and employees; (3) gain from acquisition, net; (4) non-cash financing expenses related to bank loans early repayment and (5) other non-recurring items such as acquisition related costs and Nishiwaki Fab restructuring costs and impairment. These adjusted financial measures should be evaluated in conjunction with, and are not a substitute for, GAAP financial measures. The tables also present the GAAP financial measures, which are most comparable to the adjusted financial measures as well as reconciliation between the adjusted financial measures and the comparable GAAP financial measures. As used in this release, the term Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) consists of profit or loss, according to U.S. GAAP, excluding Nishiwaki Fab restructuring costs and impairment, gain from acquisition, net, acquisition related costs, interest and other financing expenses (net), other income (expense), net, taxes, non-controlling interest, depreciation and amortization and stock based compensation expenses. EBITDA is reconciled in the tables below from GAAP operating profit. EBITDA is not a required GAAP financial measure and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure employed by other companies. EBITDA and the adjusted financial information presented herein should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating profit, net profit or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, per share data or other profit or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Net debt, as presented in this release, is comprised of the outstanding principal amount of banks’ loans (in the amounts of approximately $175 million, $245 million and $246 million as of June 30, 2016, March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively) and the outstanding principal amount of debentures (in the amounts of approximately $187 million, $65 million and $65 million as of June 30, 2016, March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively), less cash and short-term deposits (in the amounts of approximately $311 million, $245 million and $206 million as of June 30, 2016, March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively).
