    Source: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 27 Jul 2022 16:01:00   America/New_York

    LIVERMORE, Calif., July 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FormFactor, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORM) today announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 ended June 25, 2022. Quarterly revenues were $203.9 million, an increase of 3.4% compared to $197.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, and an increase of 8.4% from $188.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

    • Delivered the second highest quarterly revenue in company’s history, and Earnings Per Share at the high end of outlook ranges
    • Acquired dilution refrigerator product line of JanisULT, making FormFactor the largest supplier in the United States and strengthening the Company’s capabilities as a key supplier to the emerging quantum computing market
    • Continued to execute previously announced capacity expansions to support long-term growth strategy

    “FormFactor again posted strong results in the second quarter, delivering the second highest quarterly revenue in company history and exceeding our target financial model’s non-GAAP gross margin for the second consecutive quarter,” said Mike Slessor, CEO of FormFactor, Inc. “Together with good operating expense control in the current inflationary environment, this produced earnings-per-share at the high end of our outlook range.”

    Second Quarter Highlights

    On a GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was $30.2 million, or $0.38 per fully-diluted share, compared to net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 of $29.9 million, or $0.38 per fully-diluted share, and net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 of $17.9 million, or $0.23 per fully-diluted share. Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was 46.3%, compared with 47.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, and 40.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

    On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was $36.8 million, or $0.46 per fully-diluted share, compared to net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 of $38.7 million, or $0.49 per fully-diluted share, and net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 of $28.4 million, or $0.36 per fully-diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was 47.4%, compared with 49.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, and 44.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

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

    GAAP net cash provided by operating activities for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was $42.6 million, compared to $44.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2022, and $33.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2021. Free cash flow for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was $28.3 million, compared to free cash flow for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 of $28.7 million, and free cash flow for the second quarter of 2021 of $16.2 million. A reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to non-GAAP free cash flow is provided in the schedules included below.

    Outlook

    Dr. Slessor added, “Our sequentially weaker outlook is due primarily to reduced demand for Foundry & Logic probe cards from several major customers in both mobile and compute applications. We view this reduction in demand as a short-term response by our customers to changing conditions in their end markets, and not a structural change in our business.”

    For the third quarter ending September 24, 2022, FormFactor is providing the following outlook*:

      GAAP Reconciling Items** Non-GAAP
    Revenue $183 million +/- $6 million   $183 million +/- $6 million
    Gross Margin 37.5% +/- 1.5% $3 million 39.0% +/- 1.5%
    Net income per diluted share $0.08 +/- $0.04 $0.13 $0.21 +/- $0.04

    *This outlook assumes consistent foreign currency rates.
    **Reconciling items are stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, and amortization of intangibles and fixed asset fair value adjustments due to acquisitions.

    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, 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; 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 infectious diseases and pandemics (including 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 varying barriers to international trade, including restrictive trade and export regulations, dynamic tariffs, trade disputes between the U.S. and other countries, including China, and national security developments or tensions, that may substantially restrict or condition our sales 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.

    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 revenue, 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 revenue, 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 revenue, 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 revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, by adjusting GAAP net income, GAAP net income per basic and diluted share, GAAP revenue, GAAP gross profit, 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, net income per basic and diluted share, revenue, gross profit, 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 net income per basic and diluted share, non-GAAP revenue, 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.
