FormFactor, Inc. Reports 2023 Third Quarter Results
Источник: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 01 ноя 2023 15:01:00 America/Chicago
LIVERMORE, Calif., Nov. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FormFactor, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORM) today announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 ended September 30, 2023. Quarterly revenues were $171.6 million, an increase of 10.0% compared to $155.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, and a decrease of 5.1% from $180.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
- Stronger-than-anticipated demand for Foundry & Logic probe cards, coupled with record Systems segment revenue, produced third quarter revenue near the high end of the outlook range.
- Gross margin above the outlook range and leverage on operating expenses generated above-range non-GAAP earnings-per-share.
- Completed sale of FRT to Camtek, generating $100 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments.
“We continue to operate efficiently in what we see as a relatively stable near-term demand environment across our diversified product and technology portfolio,” said Mike Slessor, CEO of FormFactor, Inc. “Longer-term, we remain confident in the growth prospects for FormFactor and the industry overall, driven by the fundamental trends of semiconductor content growth and exciting innovations like chiplets, High-Bandwidth-Memory, and co-packaged silicon photonics.”
The company also announced that its Board of Directors authorized a $75 million stock repurchase plan. This authorization is in addition to the remaining balance under the existing repurchase program authorized in May 2022, which expires May 20, 2024. This new stock repurchase authorization will expire October 30, 2025, and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time. Under the new repurchase authorization, repurchases may be made both in the open market and through privately negotiated transactions.
Third Quarter Highlights
On a GAAP basis, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $4.4 million, or $0.06 per fully-diluted share, compared to net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 of $0.8 million, or $0.01 per fully-diluted share, and net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 of $4.4 million, or $0.06 per fully-diluted share. Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was 40.4%, compared with 38.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, and 34.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $17.3 million, or $0.22 per fully-diluted share, compared to net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 of $11.2 million, or $0.14 per fully-diluted share, and net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 of $18.3 million, or $0.24 per fully-diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was 41.8%, compared with 40.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, and 39.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures is provided in the schedules included below.
GAAP net cash provided by operating activities for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $20.6 million, compared to $22.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, and $24.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Free cash flow for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $16.9 million, compared to free cash flow for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 of $2.1 million, and free cash flow for the third quarter of 2022 of $15.5 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, “We anticipate operating in an overall demand environment that remains relatively stable at the levels we’ve experienced throughout 2023. The moderate sequential decrease in our fourth quarter revenue outlook range reflects the reduction in Systems Segment revenue due to the sale of FRT, and weaker Foundry & Logic probe card demand due to a short-term reduction in customer spending, partially offset by stronger DRAM probe card demand.”
For the fourth quarter ending December 30, 2023, FormFactor is providing the following outlook*:
GAAP Reconciling Items** Non-GAAP Revenue $165 million +/- $5 million — $165 million +/- $5 million Gross Margin 40% +/- 1.5% $2 million 41% +/- 1.5% Net income (loss) per diluted share $0.84 +/- $0.04 $0.64 $0.20 +/- $0.04 *This outlook assumes consistent foreign currency rates.

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, 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 continue to operate in an environment with substantial uncertainties arising from global, regional and national health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, including with respect to their impact on our operations, capacity, customer demand, and supply chain, as well as the macroeconomic environment. 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, such as the recent US-China restrictions, and national security developments or tensions, that may substantially restrict or condition our sales to or in certain countries, increase the cost of doing business internationally, and disrupt our supply chain.

We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per basic and diluted share, 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 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 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 gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, and non-GAAP operating income, by adjusting GAAP net income, GAAP net income per basic and diluted share, GAAP gross profit, GAAP gross margin, GAAP operating expenses, and GAAP operating income (loss) 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, gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, or operating income (loss) 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 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.
