LIVERMORE, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 28, 2015) - FormFactor, Inc. (NASDAQ: FORM) today announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 ended September 26, 2015. Quarterly revenues were $65.9 million, down 11% from $73.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015, and down 11% from $73.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

On a GAAP basis, net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was $(2.5) million, or $(0.04) per fully-diluted share, compared to a net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 of $0.8 million, or $0.01 per fully-diluted share, and a net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 of $(0.3) million, or $0.00 per fully-diluted share.

On a non-GAAP basis, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was $3.3 million, or $0.06 per fully-diluted share, compared to net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 of $6.7 million, or $0.11 per fully-diluted share, and net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 of $9.0 million, or $0.16 per fully-diluted share.

About our Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjustments:

We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share provides supplemental information that we believe are important to understanding financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share 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 and non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share 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 the Company's activities and other factors, facilitates comparability of the Company's operating performance from period to period. We have chosen to provide this 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 and non-GAAP fully-diluted earnings per share by adjusting GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share to remove the impact of certain adjustments and the tax effect 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 or earnings per fully-diluted share prepared 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 and non-GAAP earnings per fully-diluted share 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 "Reconciliation of non-GAAP Net Income" included in this press release.
