ソース: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 08 2 2023 16:01:01 America/New_York
LIVERMORE, Calif., Feb. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FormFactor, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORM) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 ended December 31, 2022. Quarterly revenues were $166.0 million, a decrease of 8.2% compared to $180.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, and a decrease of 19.0% from $205.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. For fiscal 2022, FormFactor recorded revenues of $748 million, down 2.8% from $770 million in fiscal 2021.
- Delivered revenue above the outlook range against a challenging industry environment.
- Achieved the second consecutive record quarter in the Systems segment.
- Completed the previously announced restructuring, improving operational effectiveness and profitability.
“As anticipated, FormFactor’s fourth quarter revenue and profitability were down sequentially from the third quarter,” said Mike Slessor, CEO of FormFactor, Inc. “That said, revenue exceeded the outlook range and non-GAAP earnings per share were at the high end of the outlook range, reflecting actions we took during the fourth quarter to reduce our costs.”
Fourth Quarter Highlights
On a GAAP basis, net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $13.7 million, or negative $0.18 per fully-diluted share, compared to net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 of $4.4 million, or $0.06 per fully-diluted share, and net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 of $25.9 million, or $0.33 per fully-diluted share. Net income for fiscal 2022 was $50.7 million, or $0.65 per fully-diluted share, compared to net income for fiscal 2021 of $83.9 million, or $1.06, per fully-diluted share. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 27.2%, compared with 34.4% in the third quarter of 2022, and 43.7% in the fourth quarter of 2021. Gross margin for fiscal 2022 was 39.6%, compared to 41.9% for fiscal 2021.
On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $4.1 million, or $0.05 per fully-diluted share, compared to net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 of $18.3 million, or $0.24 per fully-diluted share, and net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 of $34.7 million, or $0.44 per fully-diluted share. Net income for fiscal 2022 was $97.9 million, or $1.25 per fully-diluted share, compared to net income of $125.5 million, or $1.59 per fully-diluted share for fiscal 2021.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures is provided in the schedules included below.
GAAP net cash provided by operating activities for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 was $20.7 million, compared to $24.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, and $38.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

Outlook
Dr. Slessor added, “In the first quarter of 2023, we are experiencing overall demand similar to the fourth quarter, with moderately stronger demand for Foundry & Logic probe cards offset by weaker demand for both DRAM and Flash memory probe cards. At the same time, our Systems business continues to run at record levels. We expect significant gross margin improvement in the first quarter, driven by two factors: the full-quarter benefit of our October restructuring and a return to typical excess and obsolete inventory costs.”
For the first quarter ending April 1, 2023, FormFactor is providing the following outlook*:
GAAP Reconciling Items** Non-GAAP Revenue $162 million +/- $5 million — $162 million +/- $5 million Gross Margin 35% +/- 1.5% $3 million 37% +/- 1.5% Net income per diluted share ($0.06) +/- $0.04 $0.19 $0.13 +/- 0.04 *This outlook assumes consistent foreign currency rates.
**Reconciling items are stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, and amortization of intangibles, inventory, and fixed asset fair value adjustments due to acquisitions.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 believe that the presentation of non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per basic and diluted share, non-GAAP revenue, 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 revenue, 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 revenue, 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 revenue, 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 revenue, 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, revenue, 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 revenue, 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.
