FormFactor, Inc. Reports First Quarter Results
Company delivers record quarterly revenue, provides upward guidance for Q2’17

LIVERMORE, Calif. — May 3, 2017 —FormFactor, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORM) today announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 ended April 1, 2017. Quarterly revenues were $128.8 million, up 4% from $123.9 million reported in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 and up 140% from $53.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

“FormFactor delivered record quarterly revenue in the first quarter driven by robust demand from all our customers,” said Mike Slessor, CEO of FormFactor, Inc. “We continue to see strong momentum across all our product lines, as our large customers continue their technology node transitions and new design introductions. We are in a stronger position than we were one year ago, and are benefitting from significant scale, diversified market drivers, and a broad portfolio of leading test and measurement products. Our focus remains on execution to drive continued revenue growth and EPS expansion.”

First Quarter Highlights

On a GAAP basis, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was $5.2 million, or $0.07 per fully-diluted share, compared to a net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 of ($15.4) million, or ($0.22) per fully-diluted share, and a net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 of $(13.8) million, or $(0.24) per fully-diluted share.
 
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was $17.3 million, or $0.24 per fully-diluted share, compared to a net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 of $14.4 million, or $0.20 per fully-diluted share, and net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 of $(6.3) million, or $(0.11) per fully-diluted share. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share is provided in the schedules included below.
 
Cash generation in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was $13.0 million, compared to cash generation in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 of $2.1 million and cash usage of $(0.4) million for the first quarter of fiscal 2016. Free cash flow for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was $15.5 million. A reconciliation of net cash provided from operating activities to free cash flow generation is provided in the schedules included below.

About our Non-GAAP Net Income (loss) and Adjustments:

We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share and free cash flow provides supplemental information that is important to understanding financial and business trends and other factors relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share are among the primary indicators used by management as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods, and by management and our board of directors to determine whether our operating performance has met certain targets and thresholds. Management uses non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share when evaluating operating performance because it believes that the exclusion of the items indicated herein, for which the amounts or timing may vary significantly depending upon the Company’s activities and other factors, facilitates comparability of the Company’s operating performance from period to period. We use free cash flow to conduct and evaluate our business as an additional way of viewing our liquidity that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our cash flows. Many investors also prefer to track free cash flow, as opposed to only GAAP earnings. Free cash flow has limitations due to the fact that it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, and therefore it is important to view free cash flow as a complement to our entire consolidated statements of cash flows. We have chosen to provide this non-GAAP information to investors so they can analyze our operating results closer to the way that management does, and use this information in their assessment of our business and the valuation of our company. We compute non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP fully-diluted earnings per share by adjusting GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share to remove the impact of certain items and the tax effect of those adjustments. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and may be materially different from other non-GAAP measures, including similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, net income (loss) or earnings per fully-diluted share prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. We may expect to continue to incur expenses of a nature similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from our non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. For more information on the non-GAAP adjustments, please see the table captioned “Reconciliation of non-GAAP Net Income (loss)” included in this press release.
