FormFactor, Inc. Reports 2024 Third Quarter Results

Finanznachrichten News

Record Quarterly Revenue, Profitability at the Top End of the Outlook Range;
Sees Reduced Demand for Foundry and Logic in Q4, Partially Offset by Continued Strength in DRAM

LIVERMORE, Calif., Oct. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FormFactor, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORM) today announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 ended September 28, 2024. Quarterly revenues were $207.9 million, a company record and an increase of 5.3% compared to $197.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, and an increase of 21.2% from $171.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

  • Record revenue in the third quarter exceeded outlook range and non-GAAP EPS was at the top end of the range.
  • Strong DDR5 demand produced third consecutive record-setting quarter of DRAM probe-card revenue.
  • FormFactor's diversification strategy enabled participation in expanding investments in generative AI and data center applications.

"We are proud to have posted our all-time revenue record in the third quarter," said Mike Slessor, CEO of FormFactor, Inc. "This performance was driven by continued strength in our DRAM probe-card business, layered on top of moderate growth in our Foundry & Logic and Systems businesses."

Third Quarter and Fiscal 2024 Highlights

On a GAAP basis, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was $18.7 million, or $0.24 per fully-diluted share, compared to net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 of $19.4 million, or $0.25 per fully-diluted share, and net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 of $4.4 million, or $0.06 per fully-diluted share. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2024 was 40.7%, compared with 44.0% in the second quarter of 2024, and 40.4% in the third quarter of 2023.

On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was $27.2 million, or $0.35 per fully-diluted share, compared to net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 of $27.3 million, or $0.35 per fully-diluted share, and net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 of $17.3 million, or $0.22 per fully-diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin for the third quarter of 2024 was 42.2%, compared with 45.3% in the second quarter of 2024, and 41.9% in the third quarter of 2023.

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 2024 was $26.7 million, compared to $21.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, and $20.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Free cash flow for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was $20.0 million, compared to free cash flow for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 of $14.2 million, and free cash flow for the third quarter of 2023 of $16.9 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 continue to experience record levels of DRAM probe card demand, with contributions from both DDR5 and High Bandwidth Memory applications. This, combined with slightly higher Systems Segment revenue, is helping to partially offset the forecasted reduction in Foundry & Logic probe-card demand."

For the fourth quarter ending December 28, 2024, FormFactor is providing the following outlook*:

GAAP Reconciling Items** Non-GAAP
Revenue$190 million +/- $5 million - $190 million +/- $5 million
Gross Margin40% +/- 1.5% $3 million 41% +/- 1.5%
Net income per diluted share$0.16 +/- $0.04 $0.13 $0.29 +/- $0.04
*This outlook assumes consistent foreign currency rates.
**Reconciling items are stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets and fixed asset fair value adjustments due to acquisitions, and restructuring charges, net of applicable income tax impacts.

We posted our revenue breakdown by geographic region, by market segment and with customers with greater than 10% of total revenue on the Investor Relations section of our website at www.formfactor.com. We will conduct a conference call at 1:25 p.m. PT, or 4:25 p.m. ET, today.

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.

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 military conflicts, political volatility, infectious diseases and pandemics, 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.

About our Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

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 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 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.
