PDF Solutions(R) Reports Third Fiscal Quarter 2011 Results


SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 3, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PDF Solutions, 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 third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Total revenues for the third fiscal quarter of 2011 totaled $16.9 million, down 2% from $17.2 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2011 and up 14% when compared with total revenues of $14.8 million for the third fiscal quarter of 2010. Gainshare performance incentives revenues totaled $3.0 million, down 29% from $4.2 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2011 and down 30% when compared with gainshare performance incentives revenues of $4.3 million for the third fiscal quarter of 2010.

Net income for the third fiscal quarter of 2011 was $626,000, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, compared to net loss of $(101,000), or $(0.00) per basic and diluted share, in the second fiscal quarter of 2011 and net loss of $(84,000), or $(0.00) per basic and diluted share, in the third fiscal quarter of 2010.

In addition to using GAAP results in evaluating PDF Solutions' business, PDF Solutions' management also believes it is useful to measure results using a non-GAAP measure of net income (loss), excluding stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired technology and other acquired intangible assets, restructuring charges, and their related income tax effects, as applicable. Using this non-GAAP measure, the non-GAAP net income for the third fiscal quarter of 2011 totaled $2.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared with a non-GAAP net income of $1.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the second fiscal quarter of 2011, and the non-GAAP net income of $1.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the third fiscal quarter of 2010.

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://www.pdf.com/events. A replay of the web cast will be available at the same website address beginning approximately two hours after completion of the live call. 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 also be available on PDF Solutions' website at http://www.pdf.com/press-releases 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 expenses, amortization of acquired technology and other acquired 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 Solutions' management believes that excluding the effects of stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired technology and other acquired 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 or loss 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 Solutions 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 measures is provided at the end of the company's financial statements presented below.

(*) In the third quarter 2011, the Company identified out-of-period errors relating to research and development tax credits and grants to its French subsidiary that impacted the fourth quarter of 2009 and first and second quarters of 2011. The Company concludes that these errors, combined with the errors previously identified and disclosed in its Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2011, continued to be immaterial to any prior period financial statements. Although the effect of these errors was not material to any previously issued financial statements, the cumulative effect of correcting the identified errors in the current year to date would have been material for the fiscal year 2011 financial statements. Therefore, the Company further revised its prior year financial statements to include the correction for these additional out-of-period adjustments. 
     
The aggregate impact by quarter was to increase net loss by $181,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and increase net loss by $44,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The aggregate impact for fiscal year 2011 as of September 30, 2011 was to increase net loss by $225,000.
