FormFactor, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Results
FormFactor core business and Cascade Microtech combine to deliver strong results

LIVERMORE, Calif. — October 27, 2016 —FormFactor, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORM) today announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 ended September 24, 2016. Revenues were $123.3 million, up 48% from $83.1 million reported in the second quarter and up 87% for the third quarter year-over-year.

“In our initial quarter following the Cascade Microtech acquisition we delivered strong results,” said Mike Slessor, CEO of FormFactor, Inc. “These results are the product of continued strength in FormFactor’s core probe card business, combined with the growing probe card and engineering systems businesses from Cascade Microtech. These results also demonstrate the accelerated earnings growth provided by the scale and diversification of the FormFactor-Cascade combination.”

Third Quarter Highlights

On a GAAP basis, net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was $(14.2) million, or $(0.20) per fully-diluted share, compared to a net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 of $36.9 million, or $0.61 per fully-diluted share, and a net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 of $(2.5) million, or $(0.04) per fully-diluted share.
 
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was $15.9 million, or $0.22 per fully-diluted share, compared to a net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 of $8.0 million, or $0.13 per fully-diluted share, and net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 of $3.3 million, or $0.06 per fully-diluted share. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP net income and net income per share is provided in the schedules included below.
 
Cash usage in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 was $10.8 million, compared to cash usage in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 of $68.8 million and cash generation of $5.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2015. Excluding cash attributable to the acquisition of Cascade Microtech, free cash flow generation for the third quarter was $16.0 million.

Outlook

The Company currently expects fourth quarter 2016 revenue to be slightly below that of the third quarter. Within the business segments, Probe Card revenues are forecasted to decline slightly as demand from FormFactor’s significant microprocessor customer normalizes to double the 2015 level, and Systems segment demand is expected to remain steady and benefit from the recent strong order flow.

  












For the fourth quarter ending on December 31, 2016, FormFactor is providing the following guidance*:

Free cash flow is forecasted to be positive $11 million to $13 million excluding acquisition related payments.

“Our near-term emphasis remains on execution and continuity, and we are increasingly excited about the growth prospects for the combined businesses as we leverage the technology and channel assets across our expanded opportunity set. We believe that FormFactor’s test and measurement solutions are well positioned to capitalize on overall market trends and will enable us to grow faster than the market,” concluded Mike Slessor.

The company has posted its revenue breakdown by region and market segment on the Investors section of its website at www.formfactor.com. FormFactor will conduct a conference call at 1:30 p.m. PDT, or 4:30 p.m. EDT, today.

About our Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjustments:

We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share and free cash flow provides supplemental information that we believe are important to understanding financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share are among the primary indicators used by management as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods, and by management and our board of directors to determine whether our operating performance has met certain targets and thresholds. Management uses non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share when evaluating operating performance because it believes that the exclusion of the items indicated herein, for which the amounts or timing may vary significantly depending upon the company’s activities and other factors, facilitates comparability of the company’s operating performance from period to period. We use free cash flow to conduct and evaluate our business as an additional way of viewing our liquidity that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our cash flows. Many investors also prefer to track free cash flow, as opposed to only GAAP earnings. Free cash flow has limitations due to the fact that it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, and therefore it is important to view free cash flow as a complement to our entire consolidated statements of cash flows. We have chosen to provide this non-GAAP information to investors so they can analyze our operating results closer to the way that management does, and use this information in their assessment of our business and the valuation of our company. We compute non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP fully-diluted earnings per share by adjusting GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share to remove the impact of certain adjustments and the tax effect of those adjustments. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and may be materially different from other non-GAAP measures, including similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, net income (loss) or earnings per fully-diluted share prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. We may expect to continue to incur expenses of a nature similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from our non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. For more information on the non-GAAP adjustments, please see the table captioned “Reconciliation of non-GAAP Net Income" included in this press release.
