SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 6, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- PDF Solutions(r), Inc. (Nasdaq:PDFS), the leading provider of process-design integration technologies to enhance IC manufacturability, today announced financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006.
Revenue for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2006 totaled $19.0 million, compared with revenue of $19.0 million for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2005. Gain share revenue for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2006 totaled $4.9 million, an increase of 28%, compared to the fourth fiscal quarter of 2005. Revenue for the full fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 totaled a record $76.2 million with gain share revenue contributing a record $20.0 million. On a GAAP basis, net loss for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2006 totaled approximately $559,000, or $0.02 per basic share, compared with net income of $2.3 million, or $0.09 per basic share, for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2005. The adoption of SFAS 123(R) during fiscal year 2006 and the previously announced acquisition of Si Automation S.A. in October 2006, resulted in $1.9 million in stock-based compensation expense and an $800,000 write-off of in-process research and development during the fourth fiscal quarter or approximately $0.10 per basic share.
In addition to using GAAP results in evaluating PDF Solutions' business, management also believes it is useful to measure results using a non-GAAP measure of net income, which excludes stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets and the write-off of in-process research and development. Using this non-GAAP measure, net income for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2006 totaled approximately $2.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of approximately $3.9 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2005.
As previously announced, PDF will hold a live conference call beginning at 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time/6:00 p.m. Eastern Time today to discuss these results. A live webcast of this conference call will be available on PDF Solutions' website at http://ir.pdf.com/medialist.cfm. A replay of the call will be available at the same website address beginning approximately two hours after completion of the live call. Further, a copy of this press release, including the disclosure and reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measure, which non-GAAP measures may be used periodically by PDF Solutions' management when discussing financial results with investors and analysts, will be available on PDF Solutions' website at http://www.pdf.com/news_archive.phtml following the date of this release.
Information Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing results that are determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP), PDF Solutions also provides certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effects of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, the write-off of in-process research and development and their related income tax effects. PDF Solutions' management believes that the presentation of these measures provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding PDF's operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management internally to measure the company's profitability and performance. PDF's management believes that excluding the effects of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, the write-off of in-process research and development and their related income tax effects, provides a useful supplemental measure of the company's ongoing operations in light of the fact that neither category of expense has a current effect on the future uses of cash nor do they have use with regards to the generation of current or future revenues. These non-GAAP results should not be considered an alternative to, or a substitute for, GAAP financial information, and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In particular, these non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures of income as a measure of performance, or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity. Since management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to measure profitability and performance, PDF has included these non-GAAP measures to give investors an opportunity to see the company's financial results as viewed by management. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measure is provided at the end of the company's financial statements presented below.
