Cascade Microtech Reports Second Quarter 2009 Results

Revenue of $12.6 million, Up 10 % from First Quarter

PORTLAND, Ore.—(MARKET WIRE)—July 28, 2009—Cascade Microtech (NasdaqGM:CSCD-News) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Second quarter results include:

• Revenue of $12.6 million, up 10% from Q109

• Probes and sockets revenue increased 20% from Q109

• Net loss of $1.6 million or $0.12 per share for Q209, compared to a net loss of $4.2 million or $0.31 per share in Q109

• Cash and investment balances increased by $0.2 million from Q109 to $33.7 million

“We have seen a mild recovery in the market place with increases in our revenue and bookings, particularly in probes and sockets, which has improved our gross margin percentage in the second quarter. We have carefully managed our expenses by continuing our cost saving initiatives and have generated cash during the quarter,” said Geoff Wild, CEO of Cascade Microtech. “Although this does not appear to be a rapid recovery, we expect to see continuing growth over the remainder of 2009.”

Financial Outlook

Based on the current backlog and anticipated bookings, Cascade anticipates that third quarter 2009 revenues will be in the range of $12.5 million to $15 million.

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements in this release, particularly the comments above made by Mr. Wild and the paragraph above captioned “Financial Outlook”, are “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Securities Litigation Reform act of 1995. Such statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s business based in part on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including changes in demand for the Company’s products, product mix, the timing of shipments and customer orders, constraints on supplies of components, excess or shortage of production capacity and other risks discussed from time to time in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings and reports, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions and growth rates and general domestic and international economic conditions. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made and the company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this release.
