SAN JOSE, Calif., July 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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, 2017.

Total revenues for the second fiscal quarter of 2017 totaled $24.3 million, which were flat compared to the total revenue for the first fiscal quarter of 2017 and down 9% from $26.7 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2016. Design-to-silicon-yield solutions revenue for the second fiscal quarter of 2017 totaled $16.5 million, down 16% from $19.7 million for the first fiscal quarter of 2017 and down 20% from $20.6 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2016. Gainshare performance incentives revenue for the second fiscal quarter of 2017 totaled $7.8 million, up 70% from $4.6 million for the first fiscal quarter of 2017 and up 27% from $6.1 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2016.

On a GAAP basis, net income for the second fiscal quarter of 2017 was $0.2 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $0.5 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, for the first fiscal quarter of 2017, and compared to net income of $2.1 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, for the second fiscal quarter of 2016.

Cash and cash equivalents were $109.0 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $116.8 million at December 31, 2016.

Non-GAAP net income for the second fiscal quarter of 2017 was $2.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to $2.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the first fiscal quarter of 2017, and compared to $5.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the second fiscal quarter of 2016. EBITDAR for the second quarter of 2017 was $3.7 million, compared to $3.5 million for the first fiscal quarter of 2017 and compared to $7.1 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2016.

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://ir.pdf.com/webcasts. 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.

Second Quarter 2017 Financial Commentary Available Online

A Management Report reviewing the Company’s second quarter 2017 financial results, as well as providing updated 2017 financial outlook, will be furnished to the SEC on Form 8-K and published on the Company’s website at http://ir.pdf.com/financial-reports. Analysts and investors are encouraged to review this commentary prior to participating in the conference call webcast.

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 July 20, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Syntricity, Inc., the industry leading hosted solution for characterization and yield management. In relation to this acquisition, the Company recorded an adjustment to reduce revenue recognized from deferred revenue arising from the acquisition.  Accordingly, for non-GAAP purposes, the Company is excluding these reductions to revenue in order to provide better comparability between periods.
 
 
(2) The results for the period ended June 30, 2016 have been updated to reflect the Company’s adoption of the Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The Company elected to early adopt this new standard in the fourth quarter of 2016, which required that any adjustments be reflected as of January 1, 2016, the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period of adoption.
