- Delivered positive operating results for seasonally slow quarter
- atg-LM introduced new flying probe printed circuit board tester
- Finalized agreement to acquire Titan Semiconductor Tool, LLC
NORWOOD, Mass., Feb. 26, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xcerra Corporation (Nasdaq:XCRA), today announced financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2015.
Net sales for the quarter were $92,284,000, compared to the prior quarter's net sales of $127,162,000. GAAP net income for the quarter was $3,929,000, or $0.07 per diluted share. Excluding restructuring charges of $230,000, amortization expenses totaling $971,000 and a benefit of ($2,685,000) related to a gain from financing activities, non-GAAP net income for the quarter was $2,445,000, or $0.04 per diluted share.
Dave Tacelli, chief executive officer and president, commented, "The Company weathered the seasonally slow second fiscal quarter better than expected. While revenues were approximately at the mid-point of our guidance, the EPS results were significantly better than plan primarily due to favorable product mix, and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
More importantly our confidence in the Company's growth prospects for calendar year 2015 remains high. We expect to outperform our industry peers through a combination of market share gains in our existing markets, and from the launch of new products targeted at market segments that are not currently served by the Company."
Third Quarter Fiscal 2015 Outlook
For the fiscal quarter ending April 30, 2015 net sales are expected to be in the range of $103 million to $108 million. Non-GAAP net income for the quarter is expected to be in the range of $0.04 to $0.09 per share, assuming 55 million fully diluted shares outstanding. Third quarter guidance is based on our target model which assumes a normalized product mix and excludes any impact from exchange rate fluctuations. The non-GAAP net income guidance excludes amortization of purchased intangible assets of approximately $428,000.
