FORMFACTOR, INC. REPORTS 2021 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Company Delivers Q1 Revenue at High End of Outlook Range, Expects Similar Levels in Q2

LIVERMORE, Calif. — April 28, 2021 —FormFactor, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORM) today announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 ended March 27, 2021. Quarterly revenues were $186.6 million, a decrease of 5.3% compared to $197.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, and an increase of 16.1% from $160.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

Robust Foundry & Logic and consistent DRAM results led to the second-highest quarterly revenue in Company’s history
Differentiated strengths in 5G and advanced packaging drove share gains exceeding Foundry & Logic market growth
Gross margins recovered after successfully addressing two discrete fourth-quarter issues

“Our revenue and gross margin performance, paired with good operating expense control, produced solid quarterly results as we continued to invest in capacity expansion to meet anticipated long-term, broad-based demand,” said Mike Slessor, CEO of FormFactor, Inc. “The underlying components of first quarter demand were similar to Q4’20, driven mostly by strong Foundry and Logic demand coupled with DRAM levels comparable to the previous quarter.”

First Quarter Highlights

On a GAAP basis, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $19.6 million, or $0.25 per fully-diluted share, compared to net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 of $19.3 million, or $0.24 per fully-diluted share, and net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 of $15.9 million, or $0.20 per fully-diluted share. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2021 was 41.1%, compared with 39.4% in the fourth quarter of 2020, and 41.9% in the first quarter of 2020.
 
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $30.8 million, or $0.38 per fully-diluted share, compared to net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 of $35.3 million, or $0.44 per fully-diluted share, and net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 of $26.1 million, or $0.33 per fully-diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin for the first quarter of 2021 was 45.0%, compared with 43.4% in the fourth quarter of 2020, and 46.1% in the first quarter of 2020.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures is provided in the schedules included below.

Free cash flow for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $19.2 million, compared to free cash flow for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 of $31.4 million, and free cash flow for the first quarter of 2020 of $27.6 million. A reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow is provided in the schedules included below.





Outlook

Dr. Slessor added, “In the second quarter we expect that a reduction in Foundry and Logic demand from the timing of certain customer design releases, following especially high first quarter levels, will be offset by increased DRAM probe card shipments.”

For the second quarter ending June 26, 2021, FormFactor is providing the following outlook*:

GAAPReconciling Items**Non-GAAP
Revenue$180 million to $192 million$180 million to $192 million
Gross Margin37% to 40%$7 million41% to 44%
Net income per diluted share$0.12 to $0.20$0.16$0.28 to $0.36
*This outlook assumes consistent foreign currency rates.
**Reconciling items are stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, acquisition related expenses and amortization of intangibles, inventory and fixed asset fair value adjustments due to acquisitions.

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, non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP operating income, that are adjusted from the nearest GAAP financial measure to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses. Reconciliations of the adjustments to GAAP results for the three months ended March 27, 2021 and for outlook provided before, as well as for the comparable periods of fiscal 2020, are provided below, and on the Investor Relations section of our website at www.formfactor.com. 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 Financial Measures” following the tables below.

Forward-looking Statements:

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the federal securities laws, including with respect to the Company’s future financial and operating results, the Company’s plans, strategies and objectives for future operations. 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. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to statements regarding future financial and operating results, customer demand, conditions in the semiconductor industry, and growth opportunities, and other statements regarding the Company’s business. 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: changes in demand for the Company’s products; customer-specific demand; the speed of customer implementation of new technologies; industry seasonality; risks to the Company’s realization of benefits from acquisitions, investments in capacity and investments in new electronic data systems and information technology; changes in macro-economic environments; events affecting global and regional economic conditions and stability such as Brexit, infectious diseases and pandemics (such as the current COVID-19 pandemic), military conflicts, political volatility and similar factors, operating separately or in combination; 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. We are operating in an environment with especially substantial uncertainties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, including with respect to its current and future impact on our operations, workforce, manufacturing capacity, customer demand, supply chain, macroeconomic environment and other important aspects of our business. In addition, there are increasingly restrictive export regulations being adopted in the U.S., including recently published amendments to export regulations that may substantially restrict or condition our sales in China with considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate interpretation and implementation of these rules. No assurances can be given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements within this press release 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 Financial Measures:
We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income 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, non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, and non-GAAP operating income 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, non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, and non-GAAP operating income 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, non-GAAP fully-diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, by adjusting GAAP net income, GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share, GAAP gross margin, GAAP operating expenses, and GAAP operating income to remove the impact of certain items and the tax effect, if applicable, 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, earnings per fully-diluted share, gross margin, operating expenses, or operating income 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, non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, and non-GAAP operating income 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 “Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations" and “Reconciliation of Cash Provided By Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow” included in this press release.
