Establishes an Additional Stock Repurchase Program
BEAVERTON, Ore.—(MARKETWIRE)—February 8, 2012—Cascade Microtech, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCD) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011.
Financial summary from the fourth quarter:
Operating results for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 were as follows:
| • | Record quarterly revenue of $27.3 million, an increase of 15% over Q3 2011. |
| • | Systems revenue grew 20% over Q3 2011. |
| • | Gross margin of 43%, up from 37% in Q3 2011. |
| • | Operating expenses of $10.6 million. |
| • | Research and development expenses decreased $0.3 million from Q3 2011 due primarily to the timing of R&D projects and the receipt of government grants. |
| • | Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.9 million from Q3 2011 due primarily to a $2.1 million reduction in restructuring costs. |
| • | Income from operations of $1.1 million, an increase of $5.1 million over Q3 2011. |
| • | Depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expenses totaled $1.5 million. |
| • | Net income of $1.4 million or $0.10 per share for Q4 2011. |
| • | Book-to-bill ratio of approximately 1.1. |
“Record quarterly revenues achieved the midpoint of guidance, while our earnings per share reached the upper end of guidance,” said Michael Burger, President and CEO of Cascade Microtech. “These favorable earnings results were based upon strong operational execution supported by favorable foreign currency rates. We are pleased with Cascade Microtech’s progress in 2011. We set out to grow the company while reducing costs and overhead in order to improve our financial results. Our strong market position and product portfolio supported full year revenue growth of 13% in 2011. Further, we completed the bulk of our restructuring activities in Q3 which provided for a much cleaner P&L in Q4. Looking forward, we will continue to support our customers’ product roadmaps with focused product development in order to maintain our market position. Our team is looking forward to continued success in 2012 and beyond.”
Additionally, the board of directors has authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $1 million of the Company’s common stock. The Company anticipates that it will effect the repurchase pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan, which will be administered through an independent broker.
“We believe our stock is currently undervalued,” said Michael Burger, President and CEO. “As a result, we see this repurchase program as a prudent use of capital that underscores our commitment to building long-term value for our shareholders.”
Financial outlook
For the first quarter of 2012, revenue is expected to be in the range of $26.0 million to $29.0 million. GAAP earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $0.01 to $0.05 on a fully-diluted basis, assuming no significant one-time charges or changes in foreign exchange rates.
The company will host a conference call beginning at 2:00 p.m. PST (5:00 p.m. EST) on Wednesday, February 8, 2012, to discuss its results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011.

In addition such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions and growth rates and general domestic and international economic conditions.
