On a GAAP basis, net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was $(14.5) million, or $(0.29) per fully-diluted share, compared to a net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 of ($4.2) million or $(0.08) per fully-diluted share, and a net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 of $(9.9) million or $(0.20) per fully-diluted share.

The results for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 include restructuring charges, net of related income-tax impact, in the amount of $0.3 million or $0.01 per fully diluted share.

On a Non-GAAP basis, net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was $(7.7) million, or $(0.15) per fully-diluted share, compared to a net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 of $(0.5) million or $(0.01) per fully-diluted share, and a net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 of $(6.2) million or $(0.12) per fully-diluted share.

There was no stock buyback during the third quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to a stock buyback of $5.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

"We saw softening demand in Q3 in the personal computer and mobile device markets, which negatively impacted our business," said Tom St. Dennis, CEO of FormFactor. "We continued our focus on operational efficiencies during Q3, and also undertook a transformational strategic step through our acquisition of Micro-Probe, which closed on October 16th."
