<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>First Quarter Financial Results</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">Sales were $142&nbsp;million, an increase of 6% from $134&nbsp;million in the fourth quarter of 2012,
and a decrease of 26% from $191&nbsp;million in the first quarter of 2012.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">First quarter net income was $5.8&nbsp;million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to net income
of $4.1&nbsp;million, or $0.08 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2012, and $22.8&nbsp;million, or
$0.43 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2012.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">Non-GAAP net earnings, which exclude special charges, were $3.8&nbsp;million, or $0.07 per diluted
share, compared to $5.1&nbsp;million, or $0.10 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2012, and
$22.9&nbsp;million, or $0.43 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP net earnings in
the first quarter excludes a benefit of $2.4&nbsp;million related to the enactment of the American
Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 on January&nbsp;2, 2013. This Act reinstated certain tax incentives with
retroactive application to January&nbsp;1, 2012, the retroactive tax effects of which were recorded in
the first quarter of 2013.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">In the first quarter, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share which was
paid on March&nbsp;15<sup>th</sup> and the Company also repurchased 61 thousand shares for $1.7&nbsp;million
at an average price of $27.35 pursuant to the share repurchase program announced in July of 2011.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">Leo Berlinghieri, Chief Executive Officer, said, &#147;We are encouraged by the improvement we are
seeing in the semiconductor market, however, near term we anticipate that business conditions for
our other markets will remain challenging. We are optimistic about the longer term recovery, and
are continuing to work closely with customers on design wins and make investments to position
ourselves for long-term growth.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">&#147;Given current business levels, we anticipate that sales in the second quarter may range from
$145&nbsp;million to $165&nbsp;million. At these volumes, our GAAP net income could range from $0.03 to $0.17
per diluted share and our Non-GAAP net earnings could range from $0.04 to $0.18 per diluted share.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Conference Call Details</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">A conference call with management will be held on Thursday, April&nbsp;25, 2013 at 8:30 a.m.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt"><B>Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results</B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">Non-GAAP net earnings and Non-GAAP net earnings per share amounts exclude amortization of
acquired intangible assets, costs associated with acquisitions, restructuring charges, income tax
adjustments related to the settlement of tax audits and the related tax effect of any adjustments.
These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the
United States of America (GAAP). MKS&#146; management believes the presentation of these non-GAAP
financial measures, which exclude amortization of intangible assets, costs associated with
acquisitions, restructuring charges, the related tax effect of any adjustments and a benefit
related to the enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, is useful to investors for
comparing prior periods and analyzing ongoing business trends and operating results.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">This release contains projections or other forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section&nbsp;27 of the Securities Act, and Section

involved with integrating the operations of MKS and any acquired companies, dependence on new

sourcing risks, volatility of stock price, international operations, financial risk management, and
future growth subject to risks.&nbsp;Readers are referred to MKS&#146; filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on
