PDF Solutions® Reports Second Fiscal Quarter Results

 

SAN JOSE, Calif.—July 30, 2015—PDF Solutions, Inc. (“PDF Solutions” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PDFS), the leading provider of process-design integration technologies to enhance integrated circuit (IC) manufacturability, today announced financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2015.

 

Total revenues for the second fiscal quarter of 2015 totaled $23.2 million, down 13% from $26.8 million for the first fiscal quarter of 2015 and down 6% when compared to total revenues of $24.6 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2014. Design-to-silicon-yield solutions revenue for the second fiscal quarter of 2015 totaled $14.2 million, down 22% from $18.2 million for the first fiscal quarter of 2015 and up 8% when compared to design-to-silicon-yield solutions revenue of $13.1 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2014. Gainshare performance incentives revenue for the second fiscal quarter of 2015 totaled $9.1 million, up 4% from $8.7 million for the first fiscal quarter of 2015 and down 21% when compared to gainshare performance incentives revenue of $11.5 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2014.

 

On a GAAP basis, net income for the second fiscal quarter of 2015 was $2.1 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, compared to $6.0 million, or $0.19 per basic and $0.18 per diluted share, for the first fiscal quarter of 2015, and compared to $4.7 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share, for the second fiscal quarter of 2014.

 

Cash and cash equivalents were $131.7 million at June 30, 2015, compared to $115.5 million at December 31, 2014.

 

Non-GAAP net income for the second fiscal quarter of 2015 was $5.9 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to $8.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the first fiscal quarter of 2015, and compared to $9.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the second fiscal quarter of 2014.

As previously announced, PDF Solutions will discuss these results on a live conference call beginning at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time/5:00 p.m. Eastern Time today. The call will be simultaneously web cast on PDF Solutions’ website at http://www.pdf.com/events. A replay of the web cast will be available at the same website address beginning approximately two hours after completion of the live call. A copy of this press release, including the disclosure and reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measures, which non-GAAP measures may be used periodically by PDF Solutions’ management when discussing financial results with investors and analysts, will also be available on PDF Solutions’ website at http://www.pdf.com/press-releases following the date of this release.

 

 

Information Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In addition to providing results that are determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP), PDF Solutions also provides certain non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP net income excludes the effects of non-recurring items, stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired technology and other acquired intangible assets, and their related income tax effects, as applicable, as well as adjusts for the non-cash portion of income taxes. EBITDAR is calculated by taking GAAP net income, adding back the effects of non-recurring items, stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired technology and other acquired intangibles, depreciation expense and income tax provision (benefit). These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management internally to measure the Company’s profitability and performance. PDF Solutions’ management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental measures to investors regarding the Company’s ongoing operations in light of the fact that none of these categories of expense has a current effect on the future uses of cash (with the exception of certain non-recurring items) nor do they impact the generation of current or future revenues. These non-GAAP results should not be considered an alternative to, or a substitute for, GAAP financial information, and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In particular, these non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures of income or loss as a measure of performance, or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity. Since management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to measure profitability and performance, PDF Solutions has included these non-GAAP measures to give investors an opportunity to see the Company’s financial results as viewed by management. A reconciliation of the comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures is provided at the end of the Company’s financial statements presented below.

(1) As announced on September 29, 2014, we were unable to close two Design-to-silicon-yield solutions contracts, which restricted our ability to book revenue relating to work on these projects and required us to impair previously deferred costs of $1.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014. As reported on January 7, 2015, in the three months ended March 31, 2015, we executed those two contacts, which increased our Design-to-Silicon-Yield Solutions revenue in the quarter by approximately $6.0 million. Reinstatement of previously impaired costs is not allowed under US GAAP. Accordingly, in order to match the revenue and the cost associated with these two contracts, management has included these costs in the current period as a non-GAAP reconciling item.
