AETRIUM REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2012 RESULTS

St. Paul, Minn (7/26/12)—Aetrium Incorporated (Nasdaq:ATRM) today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2012. Revenue for the second quarter was $2,012,000, up sequentially from $1,890,000 in the first quarter of 2012. Net loss for the second quarter was $483,000, or $0.04 per share, as compared to a net loss of $623,000, or $0.06 per share, in the first quarter of 2012. The net loss for the first quarter of 2012 included a $159,000 restructuring charge related to a workforce reduction implemented in January.

“We are pleased with the progress of evaluations of our VMAX test handler at two top ten analog manufacturers,” said Joseph C. Levesque, president and CEO of Aetrium Incorporated. “In addition, it appears that semiconductor production levels continued to increase during the second quarter and industry analysts are forecasting continued growth in the second half of 2012, which should further reduce excess capacity within the industry and lead to increased demand for production-based equipment. Accordingly, we are anticipating that the demand for our test handler products will improve in the second half of the year.

 “We continue to be pleased with the interest in and demand for our reliability test products as our customers continue to invest in emerging technologies,” continued Mr. Levesque. “Sales are running about 25% ahead of last year and we sold test systems to three new customers in the second quarter. We expect these products to continue to do well throughout 2012.”
