<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Plainview, N.Y., February&nbsp; 8, 2013 &#151; Veeco Instruments Inc. (Nasdaq: VECO)&#160; announced today that, due to the ongoing accounting review announced on November&nbsp;15, 2012, the Company is&#160; unable to report revenue and earnings information for the fourth quarter and year ended December&nbsp;31, 2012. The Company will not be hosting an earnings call at this time, and is providing selected business highlights as follows:</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 2.7pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">John R. Peeler, Veeco&#146;s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, &#147;Our revenue recognition accounting review is ongoing, and we hope to be able to provide an update on our progress soon.&#160; While we cannot provide revenue and earnings information at this time, fourth quarter shipments, bookings, and operating expenses are expected to come in about where we planned.&#160; Bookings improved a bit sequentially from the third quarter due to some important research wins in our MBE business. We are pleased that the Company continued to increase our cash balance in this overall challenging environment.&#148;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 2.7pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 2.7pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;Looking at 2013, we do not see any clear signs that the overcapacity in our MOCVD business and weak end market demand in Data Storage will improve in the near term. Customers across our markets continue to tightly guard spending and limit capacity expansions, and tight credit policies limit some of our Asian customers&#146; ability to raise capital and buy more equipment.&#160; The LED industry clearly remains in an equipment digestion period. With few MOCVD deals available, we have also experienced continued competitive pricing pressure.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 2.7pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Mr.&nbsp;Peeler concluded, &#147;We are therefore focused on continuing to drive down Veeco&#146;s operating expenses and manufacturing costs while maintaining critical investments in new product development.&#160; Our goal is to be well positioned with competitive products and a strong customer support infrastructure when the market recovers. LEDs are expected to expand from 5% of general lighting to over 30% over the next few years, and continued strong demand for data storage will drive future hard drive industry investments.&#160; While we are confident that demand for our products will improve, we are currently unable to predict the timing of a recovery.&#148;</font></p>
