NORWOOD, Mass., May 23, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LTX-Credence Corporation (Nasdaq:LTXC), a global provider of market focused, cost-optimized ATE solutions, today announced financial results for its fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2012.
Net sales for the quarter were $30,837,000 compared to the prior quarter net sales of $24,082,000. Net loss for the quarter was $(6,628,000), or $(0.14) per share on a GAAP basis. Excluding the impact of restructuring charges of $739,000, and amortization of purchased intangible assets of $791,000, net loss for the quarter was $(5,098,000), or $(0.10) per share on a non-GAAP basis.
Dave Tacelli, chief executive officer and president, commented, "Our recent product introductions, the Diamondx and DragonRF, are key components of the Company's growth strategy, and we are excited about the positive feedback we have received from customers. Over the next fiscal year we expect Diamondx and DragonRF to account for approximately 20-30% of our product revenues, as customers who have already adopted these new technologies ramp in volume, and additional customers come on board.
As fourth quarter guidance suggests, the new cycle is gaining momentum as business is expanding beyond the mobility markets. The Company is well positioned as we enter the next growth phase due to a broadening of our customer base and our strong lineup of products."
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2012 Outlook
For the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2012, net sales are expected to be in the range of $42 million to $46 million. Non-GAAP net income is expected to be in the range of $0.00 to $0.04 per share, assuming 49.7 million fully diluted shares outstanding. The non-GAAP net income guidance excludes amortization of purchased intangible assets of $791,000.
The Company will conduct a conference call today, May 23, 2012, at 10:00 AM EDT to discuss this release. The conference call may be accessed via telephone by dialing 877.853.5334.

Information About Non-GAAP Measures
LTX-Credence supplements its GAAP financial results by providing non-GAAP measures to evaluate the operating performance of the Company.

Management finds these non-GAAP measures to be 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.
