FormFactor, Inc. Updates Fourth Quarter Revenue Plan and Announces 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

 

LIVERMORE, Calif. — December 13, 2011 FormFactor, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORM) today announced that it expects revenue for fiscal fourth quarter 2011 to be between $28 and $31 million, lower than the company’s previous revenue guidance of $30 to $34 million. The lower than expected revenue results are primarily due to the challenging DRAM pricing environment and softening demand for probe cards.  The company anticipates that other guidance provided during its third quarter conference call will also be negatively impacted by the current industry environment.

 

“Industry conditions have further deteriorated over the course of the past two months resulting in slow demand for our products,” said Tom St. Dennis, CEO. “Despite near term headwinds, we remain focused on our turnaround, positioning FormFactor for success once industry fundamentals improve.”

 

A conference call to discuss the financial guidance will be held tomorrow, December 14, 2011 at 6:00 a.m. PST, or 9:00 a.m. EST. The public is invited to listen to a live web cast of FormFactor’s conference call on the Investors section of the company’s website at www.formfactor.com. An audio replay of the conference call will also be made available approximately two hours after the conclusion of the call. The audio replay will remain available until December 16, 2011 at 9:00 p.m. PDT, and can be accessed by dialing (855) 859-2056 (domestic) or (404) 537-3406 (international) and entering confirmation code 35597738.

 

FormFactor also announced today that its 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held at its principal executive offices located at 7005 Southfront Road, Livermore, California 94551 on Wednesday, April 18, 2012, at 3:00 P.M. Pacific Time.
