LTX-Credence Announces Third Quarter Results

NORWOOD, Mass., May 22, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LTX-Credence Corporation (Nasdaq:LTXC), a global provider of market focused, cost-optimized ATE solutions, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended April 30, 2013.

Net sales for the quarter were $36,257,000, compared to the prior quarter net sales of $35,016,000. Net loss for the quarter was $(4,744,000), or $(0.10) per share on a GAAP basis. Excluding the impact of special items totaling $356,000, and amortization of purchased intangible assets of $395,000, non-GAAP net loss for the quarter was $(3,993,000), or $(0.08) per share.

Dave Tacelli, chief executive officer and president, commented, "The adoption of Diamondx by new and existing customers is ahead of our expectations. We now have sixteen customers and approximately forty applications in either production or development. Changes in the volume ramp of some of our customers' new products have impacted the short term need for additional test capacity. However, we expect sales of Diamondx to accelerate in the back half of the calendar year given current customer forecasts."

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2013 Outlook

For the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2013 net sales are expected to be in the range of $36 million to $40 million. Non-GAAP net loss is expected to be in the range of $(0.09) to $(0.05) per share, assuming 48 million shares outstanding. The non-GAAP net loss guidance excludes amortization of purchased intangible assets of approximately $0.4 million.

The Company will conduct a conference call today, May 22, 2013, at 10:00 AM EDT to discuss this release. The conference call may be accessed via telephone by dialing (877) 853-5334.
