The company ended the quarter with over $1.4 billion in cash and equivalents.

Looking ahead, Barnholt said, "We are seeing more evidence of a sustainable upturn in semiconductor capital equipment, and in the underlying semiconductor markets." Overall, the company anticipates a normal seasonal increase during the fiscal fourth quarter, with revenues in the range of $1.50 billion to $1.60 billion. Earnings before restructuring and amortization charges are expected to be in a range of an operating breakeven to $0.10 per share.(1)

"Our fourth-quarter priority remains firmly focused on achieving a $1.45 billion operating breakeven cost structure, which will lay the foundation for sustained profitability in 2004," Barnholt said.(1) "I am confident we will achieve this milestone “Milemarker” redirects here.

 with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," Agilent recorded a non-cash charge of $1.4 billion to establish a valuation allowance, which essentially eliminates its net deferred tax assets.

Loss from operations reflect the results of our reportable
segments under Agilent's management reporting system which are not
necessarily in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (GAAP). Loss from operations of our
reporting segments excludes restructuring, amortization of
intangibles, non-operational charges and some residual corporate
charges.

In general, recorded orders represent firm purchase commitments
from our customers with established terms and conditions for products
that will be delivered within six months.

Historical amounts have been reclassified to
 conform with current period presentation.
