FORMFACTOR, INC. REPORTS 2024 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Reports Q1 Revenue Near the Top-End of the Outlook Range, Sees Significant Step-Up in Demand in Q2’24

LIVERMORE, Calif. — May 1, 2024 —FormFactor, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORM) today announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 ended March 30, 2024. Quarterly revenues were $168.7 million, an increase of 0.3% compared to $168.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, and an increase of 0.8% from $167.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

Revenue near the top-end of the outlook range; non-GAAP gross margins below the outlook range, due to weaker product mix in both segments and higher warranty costs; and non-GAAP EPS slightly below the midpoint of the outlook range, due to the lower-than-expected gross margins.
Robust DRAM demand, with strong growth in High-Bandwidth-Memory on top of steady DDR5 new-design activity.
Re-aligned the Company’s organizational structure to consolidate its global operations, recruited two executives to lead its operations and commercial functions, and appointed a director with significant operational experience.

“DRAM probe card demand continues to be robust, and as expected, first quarter DRAM revenue reached the peak levels we last experienced in 2021,” said Mike Slessor, CEO of FormFactor, Inc. “Our recently completed organizational and talent changes position the Company for its next phase of growth driven by industry adoption of advanced packaging.”

First Quarter Highlights

On a GAAP basis, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was $21.8 million, or $0.28 per fully-diluted share, compared to net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 of $75.8 million, or $0.97 per fully-diluted share, and net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 of $1.3 million, or $0.02 per fully-diluted share. Gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was 37.2%, compared with 40.4% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, and 36.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
 
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was $14.3 million, or $0.18 per fully-diluted share, compared to net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 of $15.7 million, or $0.20 per fully-diluted share, and net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 of $12.5 million, or $0.16 per fully-diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was 38.7%, compared with 42.1% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, and 38.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

GAAP net cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was $33.0 million, compared to $9.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, and $12.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was $19.7 million, compared to free cash flow for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 of negative $0.3 million, and free cash flow for the first quarter of 2023 of negative $7.3 million.

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

Outlook

Dr. Slessor added, “We are experiencing a significant sequential step-up in demand, with an expected corresponding increase in gross margin and non-GAAP EPS, which we expect will continue through the second quarter. This is driven primarily by strength in both DRAM and Foundry & Logic probe cards, as industry adoption of advanced packaging accelerates.”




For the second quarter ending June 29, 2024, FormFactor is providing the following outlook*:

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information:

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, and 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 of this release, 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, including under the heading “Outlook” above, customer demand, conditions in the semiconductor industry, 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; market opportunity; anticipated industry trends; the availability, benefits, and speed of customer acceptance or implementation of new products and technologies; manufacturing, processing, and design capacity, goals, expansion, volumes, and progress; difficulties or delays in research and development; 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; reliance on customers or third parties (including suppliers); changes in macro-economic environments; events affecting global and regional economic and market conditions and stability such as military conflicts, political volatility, infectious diseases and pandemics,



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. In addition, there are varying barriers to international trade, including restrictive trade and export regulations such as the US-China restrictions, dynamic tariffs, trade disputes between the U.S. and other countries, and national security developments or tensions, that may substantially restrict or condition our sales to or in certain countries, increase the cost of doing business internationally, and disrupt our supply chain. 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 net income per basic and diluted share, non-GAAP gross profit, 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 net income per basic and diluted share, non-GAAP gross profit, 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 net income per basic and diluted share, non-GAAP gross profit, 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 net income per basic and diluted share, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, and non-GAAP operating income, by adjusting GAAP net income, GAAP net income per basic and diluted share, GAAP gross profit, GAAP gross margin, GAAP operating expenses, and GAAP operating income (loss) 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, net income per basic and diluted share, gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, or operating income (loss) 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 net income per basic and diluted share, non-GAAP gross profit, 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 non-GAAP Free Cash Flow” included in this press release.
