FormFactor, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Results

LIVERMORE, Calif. — October 28, 2009 — FormFactor, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORM) today announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2009, that ended on September 26, 2009. Quarterly revenues were $43.8 million, up 40.4% from $31.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, and down 16.7% from $52.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008.

Net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $23.9 million or $(0.48) per share, compared to a net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 of $65.8 million or $(1.33) per share and a net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 of $14.0 million or $(0.29) per share.

On a non-GAAP basis, net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $20.9 million or $(0.42) per share, compared to a net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 of $16.3 million or $(0.33) per share and a net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 of $10.6 million or $(0.22) per share. A reconciliation of third quarter GAAP to non-GAAP net loss and net loss per share is provided in the schedules included below.

“An increase in design activity and volume purchases by memory manufacturers for DDR3 production positively influenced our revenue in Q3,” said Mario Ruscev, CEO of FormFactor.  “Our efforts to manage costs contributed this quarter to better gross margins, as we continue to focus on opportunities to increase efficiency and return toward profitability.”

The company has posted its revenue breakdown by region and market segment and GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation information on the Investors section of its website at www.formfactor.com. FormFactor will conduct a conference call at 1:30 p.m. PDT, or 4:30 p.m. EDT, today. The public is invited to listen to a live web cast of FormFactor’s conference call on the Investors section of the company’s website at www.formfactor.com.
