FormFactor, Inc. Reports Strong Third Quarter Results
Company reconfirms 2H'17 guidance; sees continued business momentum heading into 2018
LIVERMORE, Calif. — October 31, 2017 —FormFactor, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORM) today announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 ended September 30, 2017. Quarterly revenues were 143.7 million, down 0.2% from $144.0 million reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2017, and up 16.6% from $123.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2016.
“FormFactor delivered another strong quarter of revenue and earnings driven by continued strength in all our businesses,” said Mike Slessor, CEO of FormFactor, Inc. “Our broad market positioning across high growth semiconductor end markets such as data center, mobile and automotive continue to enable FormFactor to capitalize on industry momentum to deliver top-line growth and strong profitability.”
Third Quarter Highlights
The company achieved the following milestones during the quarter:
• | Achieved highest DRAM probe card revenues since the second quarter of 2015 |
• | Realized the highest third quarter sales in engineering systems history |
• | Delivered the highest-ever quarterly shipments to largest customer |
On a GAAP basis, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $12.6 million, or $0.17 per fully-diluted share, compared to net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 of $17.6 million, or $0.24 per fully-diluted share, and net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 of $14.2 million, or $0.20 per fully-diluted share.
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $25.0 million, or $0.34 per fully-diluted share, compared to net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 of $29.2 million, or $0.40 per fully-diluted share, and net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2016 of $15.9 million, or $0.22 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 third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $12.4 million, compared to free cash flow for the second quarter of 2017 of $21.2 million, and free cash flow for the third quarter of 2016 of $1.8 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, “Consistent with comments on our last earnings call, we expect to finish 2017 by delivering revenues in the second half that approximate the revenue we delivered in the first half of 2017. In line with that view, we are forecasting our fourth quarter revenue to decrease from the third quarter, as our largest customer utilizes the all-time record shipments we delivered in the third quarter. With the continued strength of the overall semiconductor industry, augmented by our specific growth opportunities in advanced packaging, mobile data, and automotive ICs, we are looking forward to delivering meaningful growth in the first half of 2018 as we progress towards our long-term financial model that delivers $650 million of revenue and $1.50 of non-GAAP earnings per share.”
For the fourth quarter ending on December 30, 2017, FormFactor is providing the following guidance*:
U.S. GAAP | Reconciling Items** | Non-GAAP | |||
Revenue | $126 million to $134 million | — | $126 million to $134 million | ||
Gross Margin | 38% to 41% | $7 million | 43% to 46% | ||
Net income per diluted share | $0.07 to $0.13 | $0.17 | $0.24 to $0.30 | ||
*This guidance assumes consistent foreign currency rates.
**Reconciling items are stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles and integration expenses.

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” and “Reconciliation of Cash Provided By (Used In) Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow” included in this press release.
