BEAVERTON, Ore.—(MARKETWIRE)—July 31, 2012—Cascade Microtech, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCD) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Financial summary from the second quarter:

Operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 were as follows:

 

   

Record quarterly revenue of $27.6 million.

 

   

Revenue from Production Probes increased by 30.3% over Q1 2012.

Operating expenses of $10.5 million compared to $10.7 million in Q1 2012.

 

   

Research and development expenses decreased by $0.3 million due primarily to the timing of R&D projects.

Income from operations of $2.3 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 79.3% over Q1 2012.

 

   

Depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation expenses for Q2 2012 totaled $1.6 million.

 

   

Net income of $2.2 million, or $0.15 per share for Q2 2012.

 

   

Book-to-bill ratio as of June 30, 2012 of 1.14 to 1.

“Cascade Microtech posted the third consecutive quarterly revenue record in the second quarter of 2012, driven by strong demand for our Production Probe products. Revenue from our Production Probes has grown over 30% sequentially for both the first and second quarters of 2012. Our Systems revenue remained steady quarter-on-quarter. We recently announced two new products that address both the fully-automated high-power market and a cost-effective, yet highly-precise manual system for testing wafers and substrates up to 150mm, which we expect to contribute to revenue during the second half of 2012. Revenue from our Engineering Probes was down quarter-on-quarter due to seasonal fluctuations, but 12% higher than the same quarter in 2011,” said Michael Burger, President and CEO.

“The product mix from the second quarter drove improved gross margins. In addition, our R&D expenses were down in the second quarter with increased product development anticipated in the second half of 2012. Improved gross margins and lower operating expenses improved income from operations by $1.0 million resulting in earnings per share of $0.15. Our strong financial performance in the second quarter was further complemented by a book-to-bill ratio of 1.14. As a result, we believe Cascade Microtech is well positioned for the second half of 2012,” added Mr. Burger.

Financial outlook

For the third quarter of 2012, revenue is expected to be in the range of $27.0 million to $30.0 million. Earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $0.06 to $0.10 on a fully-diluted basis, assuming no significant one-time charges and consistent foreign currency rates. The EPS guidance includes increased investments in R&D costs including the prototyping of new systems, as previously announced.

The company will host a conference call beginning at 2:00 p.m. PDT (5 p.m. EDT) on Tuesday, July 31, 2012, to discuss its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.
