Verigy Announces Financial Results for Second Quarter, 2008

CUPERTINO, Calif., May 22, 2008 – Verigy Ltd. (NASDAQ: VRGY), a premier semiconductor test company, today reported financial results for its second quarter, ended Apr. 30, 2008.

Second quarter revenue was $162 million, an 11 percent decrease from revenue of $183 million in the prior year period, and a decrease of 19 percent from the prior quarter revenue of $200 million. Orders for the second quarter were $177 million, a 12 percent decrease from orders of $202 million in the prior year period, and essentially flat with the prior quarter.

Net income for the second quarter was $14 million or $0.23 per fully diluted share, compared with net income of $22 million or $0.36 per fully diluted share in the prior year period, and $32 million or $0.52 per fully diluted share in the prior quarter.

“Despite the challenging environment in certain segments of the semiconductor industry, we had a solid second quarter and a good first half,”

said Keith Barnes, Verigy chairman, chief executive officer and president. “For the first half of fiscal 2008, we delivered financial results that were better than those achieved in the first half of fiscal 2007. Our diversified product portfolio and leveraged operating model have helped us manage our business better than many of our peers.”

“We benefited from strong demand for our SOC products and achieved earnings per share at the high end of our guidance range,” added Bob Nikl, Verigy chief financial officer. “Our financial results demonstrate our ability to deliver superior returns to our shareholders while satisfying our customers’ increasingly challenging test needs.”

Outlook for Q3 2008

For the quarter ending July 31, 2008, the company is providing the following guidance:

· Revenue is expected to be in the range of $170 to $180 million.

· Net income is expected to be in the range of $15 to $18 million, or $0.24 to $0.29 per fully diluted share, and will include between $4.3 to $4.6 million of share-based compensation expense.
