FormFactor, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Results
Company delivers another record quarter, provides guidance for continued strength in 2H’17

LIVERMORE, Calif. — August 2, 2017 —FormFactor, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORM) today announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 ended July 1, 2017. Quarterly revenues were $144.0 million, up 12% from $128.8 million reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and up 73% from $83.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2016.

“FormFactor delivered a second consecutive quarter of record revenue and expanded earnings driven by strong momentum across all our businesses,” said Mike Slessor, CEO of FormFactor, Inc. “We continue to benefit from diverse demand drivers across our Probe Cards and Systems segments. We remain focused on executing on this demand, and delivering operational leverage throughout our P&L. Our structurally profitable financial model continues to deliver strong earnings growth and cash flow generation.”

Second Quarter Highlights

On a GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was $17.6 million, or $0.24 per fully-diluted share, compared to net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 of $5.2 million, or $0.07 per fully-diluted share, and net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 of $36.9 million, or $0.61 per fully-diluted share. The results for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 included a net benefit of $33.2 million associated with the closing of the acquisition of Cascade Microtech, or $0.55 per fully diluted share, including a one-time tax benefit of $43.9 million.
 
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was $29.2 million, or $0.40 per fully-diluted share, compared to net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 of $17.3 million, or $0.24 per fully-diluted share, and net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 of $8.0 million, or $0.13 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.
 
Free cash flow for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was $21.2 million, compared to free cash flow for the first quarter of 2017 of $15.4 million, and free cash flow for the second quarter of 2016 of $(3.1) million. A reconciliation of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to free cash flow generation is provided in the schedules included below.

Outlook

Dr. Slessor added, “In the strong current semiconductor environment, we continue to benefit from our more broadly diversified set of products and customers, especially in serving the end markets of data center, mobile and automotive. As we execute on our current business, and realize our line of sight growth opportunities, we are increasingly optimistic about demand for the remainder of this year. Following stronger than anticipated revenues in the first half of 2017, we now expect revenues for the second half to approximate those of our first half.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information:

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial results prepared under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP measures of non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share that are adjusted from the nearest GAAP financial measure to exclude certain costs, expenses and gains. Reconciliations of the adjustments to GAAP results for the three and six months ended July 1, 2017, as well as for the comparable periods of fiscal 2016, are provided below. Information regarding the ways in which management uses non-GAAP financial information to evaluate its business, management's reasons for using this non-GAAP financial information, and limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial information, is included under “About our Non-GAAP Net Income (loss) and Adjustments” following the tables below.

These statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs as of the date hereof, and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements may contain words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” and “continue,” the negative or plural of these words and similar expressions, and include the assumptions that underlie such statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements: failure of the Company to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of Cascade Microtech; the Company’s ability to remain in compliance with the terms of its debt financing; changes in demand for the Company’s products; industry seasonality; risks to the Company’s ability to realize operational efficiencies; changes in the market, macro-





economic environments, and other factors, including those set forth in the Company’s most current annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other filings by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. No assurances can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements will transpire or occur, or if any of them do so, what impact they will have on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. Unless required by law, the Company is under no obligation (and expressly disclaims any such obligation) to update or revise its forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

About our Non-GAAP Net Income (loss) 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 is important to understanding financial and business trends and other factors 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 our activities and other factors, facilitates comparability of our 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 and GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share to remove the impact of certain items 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 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.
