LIVERMORE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/26/11 -- FormFactor, Inc. (NASDAQ: FORM) today announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 that ended on June 25, 2011. Quarterly revenues were $46.6 million, up 15% from $40.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, and down 19% from $57.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

On a GAAP basis, net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $6.7 million or $(0.13) per fully-diluted share, compared to a net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 of $21.4 million or $(0.42) per fully-diluted share, and a net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 of $33.9 million or $(0.68) per fully-diluted share. The results for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 include an income tax valuation allowance release of $2.5 million or $0.05 per fully diluted share. The company also recorded a restructuring benefit of $1.1 million, or $0.02 per fully diluted share, in the second quarter of 2011 related primarily to the termination of a lease obligation for our manufacturing facility in Singapore.

On a Non-GAAP basis, net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $7.9 million or $(0.16) per fully-diluted share, compared to a net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 of $16.1 million or $(0.32) per fully-diluted share, and a net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 of $26.5 million or $(0.53) per fully-diluted share.

"As we moved through Q2, we continued our focus on operational execution and made good progress on our turnaround plan as we increased gross margins and reduced our cash consumption," said Tom St. Dennis, CEO of FormFactor. "We made improvements across our product offerings, and gained business momentum in our DRAM segment as we started ramping our SmartMatrix™ platform at major DRAM customers and implementing our proprietary ATRE™ wafer test technology."
