CUPERTINO, CA--(Marketwire - February 24, 2011) - Verigy Ltd. (
Net loss for the first quarter was $5 million, or ($0.08) per share, compared to net income of $10 million, or $0.17 per share last quarter, and net loss of $6 million, or ($0.10) per share, in the prior year period.
Results for the first quarter included approximately $7.9 million of charges associated with the company's merger-related transaction costs and restructuring actions as well as gains on the sale of investments. After excluding these items, Verigy reported non-GAAP net income of $3 million, or $0.05 per share, including $4.1 million of share-based compensation expense.
A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP net income is provided following the financial statements that are part of this press release.
"First quarter revenue of $120 million was at the high end of our guidance range, and we exceeded our expectations on a non-GAAP earnings per share basis," said Bob Nikl, Verigy chief financial officer. "We are continuing to reduce our operating expenses for sustainable profitability."
"Sales of our 93K HSM product picked up significantly and demand for our Port Scale RF product continued to be strong," added Jorge Titinger, Verigy president and chief executive officer. "However, uncertainty regarding the LTX-Credence merger and Advantest proposal has caused certain customers to delay final purchase decisions. As we move forward, we understand that this period of uncertainty is challenging for all involved -- our customers, employees and shareholders -- and it is our desire to resolve the uncertainty in the coming weeks."
The company will be providing a status update on its M&A activity during its first quarter of fiscal year 2011 conference call scheduled today at 1:30 p.m. (Pacific). Conference call and webcast details are noted below.
Outlook for Q2 2011
For the second quarter ending April 30, 2011, the company is providing the following outlook:
-- Revenue is expected to be in the range of $115 million to $120 million. -- The company is not providing GAAP EPS guidance at this time since it is unable to assess the amount of merger-related expenses and potential restructuring costs it will incur. These amounts could be significant. -- After excluding charges expected to be incurred due to merger-related transaction activities and potential restructuring, earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis are expected to be in the range of ($0.03) to $0.02. -- Share-based compensation expense is expected to be approximately $3.6 million to $3.8 million. -- Weighted average shares outstanding is expected to be approximately 61 million.

Information About Non-GAAP Measures
Verigy is supplementing its financial measures presented on a GAAP basis by providing non-GAAP measures to provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods to evaluate the operating performance of the company. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide additional meaningful information of underlying trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain items that impact the overall comparability. Non-GAAP net income for the quarter ended January 31, 2011 excludes the effects of charges related to the company's merger transaction costs, restructuring actions, and gains on the sale of investments. Management uses this information to make operational decisions and for comparisons to historical operating results and the operating results of its competitors. Management finds the non-GAAP information to be useful and believes that its investors may also benefit from seeing the company's results "through the eyes" of management in addition to seeing its GAAP results. A reconciliation between the company's GAAP and non-GAAP measures is provided in the attached tables. Non-GAAP numbers are merely a supplement to, and not a replacement for, GAAP financial measures. They should be read and evaluated in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures.
