LIVERMORE, Calif., Jul 25, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

FormFactor, Inc. (Nasdaq:FORM) today announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, ended June 30, 2007. Quarterly revenues were a record $114.1 million, up 12% from $102.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, and up 24% from $92.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006.

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was $18.6 million or $0.38 per share on a fully diluted basis, which included $4.2 million or $0.08 per share of stock-based compensation, net of tax. This compares to $14.8 million or $0.30 per share on a fully diluted basis for the first quarter of fiscal 2007, which included $5.2 million or $0.11 per share of stock-based compensation, net of tax. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was $15.3 million or $0.32 per share on a fully diluted basis, which included $3.1 million or $0.06 per share of stock-based compensation, net of tax.

"FormFactor had another outstanding quarter - setting revenue, bookings, and operating income records. Our 24% year over year growth was fueled by the particular strength of DRAM, as well as healthy NOR Flash and Logic segments. We continued to focus on the development and qualification of new products in Flash, DRAM and Fine Pitch logic to expand our offerings in multiple applications and innovate to lead the market to the next generation of testing technology," said Igor Khandros, CEO of FormFactor.
