August 1, 2012 at 4:05 PM EDT

LIVERMORE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/01/12 -- FormFactor, Inc. (NASDAQ: FORM) today announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 that ended on June 30, 2012. Quarterly revenues were $54.8 million, up 57% from $34.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, and up 18% from $46.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

On a GAAP basis, net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $4.2 million, or $(0.08) per fully-diluted share, compared to a net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 of $17.5 million or $(0.35) per fully-diluted share, and a net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 of $7.7 million or $(0.15) per fully-diluted share. The results for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 include the release of certain liabilities related to uncertain tax positions in the amount of $1.6 million, or $0.03 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 its manufacturing facility in Singapore.

On a Non-GAAP basis, net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $0.5 million, or $(0.01) per fully-diluted share, compared to a net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 of $14.3 million or $(0.29) per fully-diluted share, and a net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 of $8.9 million or $(0.17) per fully-diluted share. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP net loss and net loss per share is provided in the schedules included below.

Cash usage for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $2.6 million, compared to cash usage of $16.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and cash usage of $8.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. There was no stock buyback during the first and second quarters of fiscal 2012, compared to a stock buyback of $1.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

"Q2 was a strong revenue quarter for FormFactor as our manufacturing performance, including lead time improvements, enabled us to meet accelerated demand for certain products," said Tom St. Dennis, CEO of FormFactor. "Exiting Q2, softening demand in the personal computer and mobile device markets and macroeconomic headwinds continue to temper our second half outlook."
