SAN JOSE, Calif., July 30, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- PDF Solutions(r), Inc. (Nasdaq:PDFS) the leading provider of yield improvement technologies and services for the integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing process life cycle, today announced financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008.
Total revenue for the second fiscal quarter of 2008 totaled $21.1 million, up 3% from $20.3 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2008 and down 11% when compared with total revenue of $23.7 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2007. Gain share revenue totaled $5.7 million, up 6% from $5.3 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2008 and down 4% compared to $5.9 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2007. Net loss for the quarter was $1.9 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, versus a net loss of $2.5 million, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share in the first fiscal quarter of 2008. Net loss for the second fiscal quarter of 2007 was $701,000, or $0.02 per basic and diluted 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 technology and intangible assets, restructuring charges and their related income tax effects, as applicable. Using this non-GAAP measure, the non-GAAP net income for the second fiscal quarter of 2008 totaled approximately $774,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $5.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the second fiscal quarter of 2007.
Additionally, during the second quarter ended June 30, 2008, PDF Solutions utilized a portion of the $10 million share repurchase plan previously authorized by its Board of Directors to repurchase 283,500 of its shares on the open market at a weighted average cost of $5.24, for a total repurchase value of $1.5 million.
As previously announced, PDF Solutions will discuss these results on a live conference call beginning at 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time/6:00 p.m. Eastern Time today. The call will be simultaneously web cast on PDF Solutions' website at http://ir.pdf.com/events.cfm. A replay of the web cast 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 measures, 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 technology and intangible assets, restructuring charges, and their related income tax effects, as applicable. 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 technology and intangible assets, restructuring charges, and their related income tax effects, as applicable, provides a useful supplemental measure of the company's ongoing operations in light of the fact that none of these categories of expense has a current effect on the future uses of cash (with the exception of restructuring charges) 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.
