Results for the year ended December 31, 2014 were as follows:
"Cascade Microtech achieved a major milestone in the fourth quarter of 2014 as adjusted EBITDAS exceeded our Success Model goal of 20% of revenue. Quarterly records were also set for revenue, income from operations, and non-GAAP earnings per share. Cash and investments grew over $8 million in the quarter and we posted a book-to-bill ratio of 1.27 as each of our segments were above a 1.0," said Michael Burger, President and CEO. "On an annual basis, records were set for revenue, gross margins, income from operations, non-GAAP net income and adjusted EBITDAS. Cash and investments grew $17 million throughout the year. With a strong close to 2014 and increased backlog, we are well positioned to take advantage of our markets in 2015. Throughout 2015, you'll see continued emphasis on new product development as our major probes customers have asked us to help leverage new technology to meet their next generation solutions. Cascade Microtech's R&D investments in new products will help expand our markets and maintain our technology leadership position. Even with this increased investment, we expect to financially outperform our 2014 results and grow faster than the markets we serve."
Financial Outlook
For the first quarter of 2015 we are projecting revenue in the range of $32.0 million to $35.0 million, with diluted GAAP earnings per share in the range of $0.04 to $0.10, and non-GAAP earnings per share in the range of $0.07 to $0.13. Our guidance assumes a quarterly increase research and development expenses of $0.4 million to $0.6 million, a tax rate of 33%, consistent foreign currency exchange rates and no significant one-time charges.
