NORWOOD, Mass., Sept. 3, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xcerra Corporation (NASDAQ:XCRA), today announced financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended July 31, 2015.

Net sales for the quarter were $102,072,000, which were in line with the Company's guidance of $101M - $105M. GAAP net income for the quarter was $7,496,000, or $0.14 per diluted share. Excluding the net loss from discontinued operations, restructuring, and other one-time net expenses totaling $800,000, and amortization of purchased intangible assets of $424,000, non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $8,720,000, or $0.16 per diluted share.

For the twelve-month period ended July 31, 2015, sales were $397,978,000. GAAP net income was $28,226,000, or $0.52 per diluted share. Excluding the net impact of discontinued operations, restructuring, purchase accounting adjustments and other one-time net expenses totaling $3,953,000, and amortization of purchased intangible assets of $1,834,000, non-GAAP net income for the year was $34,013,000, or $0.62 per diluted share.

Dave Tacelli, chief executive officer and president, commented, "The industry appears to be experiencing a pause due primarily to weakness in the mobility space and the slowing economy in China. During this period we are especially focused on winning new customers in the incremental market segments we have targeted. As an example, we have delivered and received revenue for the first complete MEMS test cell and are engaged with several more customers for similar solutions.

This morning we announced that our Board of Directors has approved a $30 million stock repurchase plan. The Company will continue to seek inorganic growth opportunities in conjunction with this plan."

First Quarter Fiscal 2016 Outlook

For the fiscal quarter ending, October 31, 2015 net sales are expected to be in the range of $87 million to $90 million. Non-GAAP net income for the quarter is expected to be in the range of $0.00 to $0.03 per share, assuming 55.5 million fully diluted shares outstanding. First quarter guidance assumes a normalized product mix. The non-GAAP net income guidance excludes amortization of purchased intangible assets of approximately $400,000.

Information About Non-GAAP Measures

Xcerra supplements its GAAP financial results by providing non-GAAP measures to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. Non-GAAP net income for the quarter ended July 31, 2015 excludes the amortization of purchased intangible assets, restructuring charges, discontinued operations, and other one-time adjustments. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful for internal comparison to historical operating results as well as to the operating results of its competitors, and believes that this information is useful to investors for the same purposes. A reconciliation between the Company's GAAP and non-GAAP results is provided in the attached tables. Readers are reminded that non-GAAP information is merely a supplement to, and not a replacement for, GAAP financial measures.
