Verigy Reports Third Quarter 2009 Financial Results;

Sequential Revenue Increase of 23%

CUPERTINO, Calif., Aug. 20, 2009 – Verigy Ltd. (NASDAQ: VRGY), a premier semiconductor test company, today reported financial results for its third quarter, ended July 31, 2009. Revenue for the third quarter was $87 million, an increase of $16 million, or 23 percent, from the prior quarter, and a decrease of $92 million, or 51 percent, from the prior year period.

Net loss for the third quarter was $21 million, or ($0.35) per share, compared to a net loss of $30 million, or ($0.52) per share, last quarter, and net income of $18 million, or $0.29 per share, in the prior year period.

The results for the third quarter included approximately $7 million of charges related to the company’s restructuring and manufacturing transition actions, charges related to the company’s acquisition of Touchdown Technologies, and an impairment charge for an auction rate security. After excluding these charges, Verigy reported a non-GAAP net loss of $14 million, or ($0.24) per share, for its third quarter of fiscal 2009.

A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP operating results is provided following the financial statements that are part of this press release. Non-GAAP results include the impact of share-based compensation of $4.9 million, but exclude the impact of the restructuring, transition, acquisition, and impairment charges noted above.

“While the recession continues to present challenges for the semiconductor industry, we are confident that Verigy remains in a strong competitive position,” said Keith Barnes, Verigy chairman, chief executive officer and president. “We believe Verigy can capture additional market share with our new V101 low-cost SOC system, our V6000 Flash/DRAM system and our acquisition of Touchdown Technologies’ advanced probe cards.”

“During the quarter, we continued our progress in reducing our breakeven point, significantly improved our gross margin performance and cash usage, and considerably strengthened the balance sheet with our convertible debt issuance” said Bob Nikl, Verigy chief financial officer. “We remain committed to improving our business model and maintaining our ability to invest in new products and technologies.”

Outlook for Q4 2009

For the fourth quarter ending October 31, 2009, the company is providing the following outlook:

• Revenue is expected to be in the range of $90 million to $100 million.

• Loss per share on a GAAP basis is expected to be in the range of ($0.32) to ($0.24).

• After excluding restructuring and manufacturing transition-related charges, loss per share on a non-GAAP basis is expected to be in the range of ($0.25) to ($0.17).

• Share-based compensation expense is expected to be between $4.7 to $4.9 million.

Forward-Looking Statements

This earnings release contains forward-looking statements, including statements about expenses, and our expected revenue and loss per share. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, uncertainty surrounding the timing and strength of the global economic recovery and the impact on our industry, the strength of our customers’ businesses and unforeseen changes in the demand for current and new products and technologies. Additional factors that may cause results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are discussed in our most recent SEC filings. In those filings you will find descriptions of risk factors that could affect our future results. These forward-looking statements are only valid as of this date, and Verigy undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statements.

Information About Non-GAAP Measures

Verigy is supplementing its financial results presented on a GAAP basis by providing non-GAAP measures to evaluate the operating performance of the company. Non-GAAP net loss for the quarter ended July 31, 2009 excludes the effects of charges for the company’s previously announced restructuring actions and manufacturing transition, and charges related to the company’s acquisition of Touchdown Technologies, as well as additional impairment charges for auction rate securities. Since management finds the non-GAAP information to be useful, the company believes that its investors may also benefit from seeing the company’s results “through the eyes” of management in addition to seeing its GAAP results. This information also facilitates management’s internal comparisons to historical operating results as well as to the operating results of its competitors. A reconciliation between the company’s GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided in the attached tables. Readers are reminded that non-GAAP numbers are merely a supplement to, and not a replacement for, GAAP financial measures. They should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures.
