"We are pleased by the overall results of the second quarter and
with the growth in revenue, gross margin and income from operations
compared to both the prior quarter of 2013 and the second quarter
of last year. Our performance in the second quarter was driven by
strong demand for both our Systems and Probe products. The demand
for 300mm systems has remained strong and we are excited about the
expected impact our new products will have on the second half of
2013," said Michael Burger, President and CEO.
"We are also excited about our recently announced acquisition of
the Reliability Test Products (RTP) business from Aetrium
Incorporated. This acquisition strengthens our Systems product
portfolio and accelerates our strategy of delivering Integrated
Measurement Solutions to our customer base. We believe the addition
of this new product line will better enable us to meet the
technical challenges of our customers. In addition, we believe the
existing customers of Aetrium's RTP business will benefit from
Cascade Microtech's service and support network, strong commitment
to customer satisfaction, and technology leadership," added Mr.
Burger. The acquisition of the RTP business was an asset purchase
for $1.9 million in cash, and contingent consideration of up to
$1.5 million payable between 9 and 18 months from the date of
acquisition. The contingencies include a $0.5 million holdback and
a $1.0 million earn out subject to the achievement of certain
milestones.
Financial outlook
For the third quarter of 2013, before acquisition related costs,
and assuming consistent foreign currency rates, revenue is expected
to be in the range of $28.0 million to $31.0 million, and earnings
per share are expected to be in the range of $0.08 to $0.12 on a
fully-diluted basis. Due to the mid-quarter timing of the
acquisition, the revenue from the RTP business is not expected to
be meaningful in the third quarter. Third quarter earnings guidance
listed above is before one-time costs of purchasing and integrating
the RTP business, which are estimated between $0.7 million and $0.9
million during the quarter.
We will host a conference call beginning at 2:00 p.m. PDT (5:00
p.m. EDT) on Thursday, August 1, 2013, to discuss our results for
the quarter ended June 30, 2013.
