NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and New Accounting Pronouncements

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial information of FormFactor, Inc. is unaudited and has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, such information reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The financial information as of December ~~30, 2017~~29, 2018 is derived from our ~~2017~~2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our ~~2017~~2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Fiscal Year

We operate on a 52/53 week fiscal year, whereby the fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of December. Fiscal ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017~~2018 each contain 52 weeks and the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2018 each contained 3926 weeks. Fiscal ~~2018~~2019 will end on December ~~29, 2018.~~28, 2019.

Reclassifications

Certain immaterial reclassifications were made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

Critical Accounting Policies

~~Except as described below, our~~Our critical accounting policies have not changed during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018~~2019 from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December ~~30, 2017.~~29, 2018.

~~Revenue Recognition~~

Revenue is recognized upon transferring control of products and services, and the amounts recognized reflect the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these products and services. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. An arrangement may include some or all of the following products and services: probe cards, systems, accessories, installation services, service contracts and extended warranty contracts. We sell our products and services direct to customers and to partners in two distribution channels: global direct sales force and through a combination of manufacturers’ representatives and distributors.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. In contracts with multiple performance obligations, we identify each performance obligation and evaluate whether the performance obligation is distinct within the context of the contract at contract inception. Performance obligations that are not distinct at contract inception are combined and accounted for as one unit of account. Generally, the performance obligations in a contract are considered distinct within the context of the contract and are accounted for as separate units of account.

Our products may be customized to our customers’ specifications, however, control of our product is typically transferred to the customer at the point in time the product is either shipped or delivered, depending on the terms of the arrangement, as the criteria for overtime recognition is not met. In limited circumstances, substantive acceptance by the customer exists which results in the deferral of revenue until acceptance is formally received from the customer. Judgment may be required in determining if the acceptance clause is substantive.

Installation services are routinely provided to customers purchasing our systems. Installation services are a distinct performance obligation apart from the systems and recognized in the period they are performed. Service contracts, which include repair and maintenance service contracts, and extended warranty contracts are also distinct performance obligations and recognized as our performance obligations are satisfied. This is typically the contractual service period, which ranges from one to two years. For these service contracts recognized over time, we use an input measure, days elapsed, to measure progress.

A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. In determining the transaction price, we evaluate whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which we expect to be entitled. We generally do not grant return privileges, except

for defective products during the warranty period. Sales incentives and other programs that we may make available to these customers are considered to be a form of variable consideration, which is estimated in determining the contract’s transaction price to be allocated to the performance obligations. We have elected the practical expedient under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606-10-32-18 to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component as our standard payment terms are less than one year.

For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which we separately sell these products. For items that are not sold separately, we estimate the stand-alone selling prices using our best estimate of selling price.

~~Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations:~~ On September 29, 2018, we had $3.5 million of remaining performance obligations, which were comprised of deferred service contracts and extended warranty contracts not yet delivered. We expect to recognize approximately 54.4% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue in fiscal 2019, and approximately 13.2% in fiscal 2020 and thereafter. The foregoing excludes the value of other remaining performance obligations as they have original durations of one year or less, and also excludes information about variable consideration allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation.

~~Contract balances:~~ The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Accounts receivable is recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. A receivable is recognized in the period we deliver goods or provide services or when our right to consideration is unconditional. A contract asset is recorded when we have performed under the contract but our right to consideration is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Contract assets as of September 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017 were $1.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, and are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as a component of Prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Contract liabilities include payments received in advance of performance under a contract and are satisfied as the associated revenue is recognized. Contract liabilities are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period as a component of Deferred revenue and Deferred rent and other liabilities. Contract liabilities as of September 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017 were $5.4 million and $5.7 million. During the three and nine months ended September 29, 2018, we recognized $0.2 million and $3.9 million of revenue, respectively, that was included in contract liabilities as of December 30, 2017.

~~Costs to obtain a contract:~~ ~~We generally expense sales commissions when incurred as a component of Selling, general and administrative expense as the amortization period is typically less than one year.~~

~~Revenue by Category:~~ ~~Refer to Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.~~

New Accounting Pronouncements

ASU ~~2016-10, ASU 2015-14 and ASU 2014-09~~2018-15

In ~~May 2014,~~August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ~~No. 2014-09,~~2018-15, "~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers,~~Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract." ~~and, in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date,~~” which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or modified retrospective transition methods. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing~~” which was issued to clarify ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” related to (i) identifying performance obligations; and (ii) the licensing implementation guidance. We adopted ASC 606, ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~ and all related amendments (collectively “ASC 606”), on December 31, 2017, the first day of fiscal 2018, using the modified retrospective method. We applied ASC 606 to all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption in order to determine any adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Under the modified retrospective adoption method, the comparative financial information has not been restated and continues to be reported underclarifies the accounting ~~standards~~for implementation costs in ~~effect for those periods, ASC 605, "Revenue Recognition", which is also referred to herein as "legacy GAAP."~~

The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017. No adjustment was recorded to accumulated deficit as of the adoption date and reported revenue would not have been different under legacy GAAP. Additionally, we do not expect the adoption of the revenue standard to have a material impact to our net income on an ongoing basis.

cloud computing arrangements. ASU ~~2017-12~~

~~In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities~~," which changes the recognition and presentation requirements of hedge accounting, including eliminating the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and changing the presentation to include all items that affect earnings in the same income statement line item as the hedged item. ASU 2017-12 also provides new alternatives for applying hedge accounting to additional hedging strategies, measuring the hedged item in fair value hedges of interest rate risk, reducing the cost and complexity of applying hedge accounting and reducing the risk of material error correction if a company applies the shortcut method inappropriately. ASU 2017-122018-15 is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, ~~2018, on a prospective basis. We early adopted ASU 2017-12 on December 31, 2017, the first day of fiscal 2018, resulting in an immaterial adjustment in our accumulated deficit on December 30, 2017.~~

~~ASU 2017-09~~

~~In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting,~~" which provides clarity and reduces both diversity in practice and the cost and complexity when accounting for a change to the terms of a stock-based award. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, on a prospective basis. We adopted ASU 2017-09 on December 31, 2017, the first day of fiscal 2018. There were no modifications to any stock-based awards during the three or nine months ended September 29, 2018.

~~ASU 2017-04~~

~~In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,~~" which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. An entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, if applicable. The loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The same impairment test also applies to any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, on a prospective basis.2019. Early adoption is ~~permitted for interim~~permitted. ASU 2018-15 should be applied either retrospectively or ~~annual goodwill impairment tests performed~~prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after ~~January 1, 2017.~~the date of adoption. We ~~early adopted ASU 2017-04 on July 1, 2018,~~have not yet determined the ~~first day~~impact of ~~the third quarter. The adoption did not have an effect~~this standard on our financial ~~position, results of operations or cash flows.~~statements.

~~ASU 2016-18~~

~~In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash,~~" which requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, an entity should include amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents within cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. Prior to this ASU, there was no guidance to address how to classify and present changes in restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted ASU 2016-18 as of December 31, 2017, the first day of fiscal 2018 and retrospectively applied such guidance to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The following table provides a reconciliation of Cash and cash equivalents as previously reported within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as currently reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (in thousands):

~~As of September 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017, Restricted cash was comprised primarily of funds held by our foreign subsidiaries for employee obligations, office leases and customer deposits.~~

ASU 2016-02, ASU 2018-10, ASU 2018-11 and ASU ~~2018-11~~2019-01

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," which requires the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all long-term leases, including operating leases, on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 was amended in July 2018 by both ASU 2018-10, "Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases," and ASU 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements." and in March 2019 by ASU 2019-01, "Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements." ASU 2016-02 provides additional guidance on the measurement of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and ~~will require~~requires enhanced disclosures about our leasing arrangements. ~~Under current accounting standards, substantially~~We adopted Topic 842 and all ~~of our leases are considered operating leases and, as such, are not recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. This new standard is effective for us beginning~~related amendments on December 30, 2018, ~~with early adoption permitted. As initially issued,~~ the ~~standard required a “modified retrospective” adoption, meaning~~first day of fiscal 2019, using the ~~standard is applied to leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. As amended, the standard allows an additional~~modified transition ~~method that~~approach. The modified transition approach permits a company to use its effective date as the date of initial application to apply the standard to its leases, and, therefore, not restate comparative prior period financial information. ~~Upon adoption~~Consequently, prior period financial information is not updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before December 30, 2018. The standard provides several optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the ‘package of practical expedients,’ which permits us to not reassess, under the new standard, our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter not being applicable to us. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We elected the short-term lease recognition exemption. This means, for those leases that qualify, we will ~~use~~not recognize a right-of-use asset or lease liability, and this includes not recognizing right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition.

The adoption of the ~~impact~~lease standard did not have any effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements and expect that the primary impact upon adoption will be the recognition, on a discounted basis, of our minimum commitments under noncancelable operating leases to our Consolidated Balance Sheets resulting in the recording of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.previously reported Condensed

Note 7 — Fair Value and Derivative Instruments

Whenever possible, the fair values of our financial assets and liabilities are determined using quoted market prices of identical securities or quoted market prices of similar securities from active markets. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical securities;

Level 2 valuations utilize significant observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices near the reporting date in markets that are less active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

Level 3 valuations utilize unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology and include our own data about assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances.

We did not have any transfers of assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis to or from Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the ~~nine~~three and six months ended ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018~~2019 or the year ended December ~~30, 2017.~~29, 2018.

The carrying values of Cash, Accounts receivable, net, Restricted cash, Prepaid expenses and other current assets, Accounts payable, ~~and~~ Accrued liabilities, and Term loan approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

No changes were made to our valuation techniques during the first ~~nine~~three and six months of fiscal ~~2018.~~2019.

Cash Equivalents

The fair value of our cash equivalents is determined based on quoted market prices for similar or identical securities.

Marketable Securities

We classify our marketable securities as available-for-sale and value them utilizing a market approach. Our investments are priced by pricing vendors who provide observable inputs for their pricing without applying significant judgment. Broker pricing is used

mainly when a quoted price is not available, the investment is not priced by our pricing vendors or when a broker price is more reflective of fair value. Our broker-priced investments are categorized as Level 2 investments because fair value is based on similar assets without applying significant judgments. In addition, all ~~of our~~ investments have a sufficient ~~level of~~ trading volume to demonstrate that the fair value is appropriate.

Unrealized gains and losses were immaterial and were recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We did not have any other-than-temporary unrealized gains or losses at either period end included in these financial statements.

Interest Rate Swaps

The fair value of our interest rate swap contracts isare determined at the end of each reporting period based on valuation models that use interest rate yield curves as inputs. For accounting purposes, our interest rate swap contracts qualify for, and are designated as, cash flow hedges. The cash flows associated with the interest rate swaps are reported in Net cash provided by operating activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the fair value of the interest rate swap contracts are recorded within Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The impact of the interest rate swaps on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income was as follows (in thousands):

Foreign Exchange Derivative Contracts

We operate and sell our products in various global markets. As a result, we are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We utilize foreign currency forward contracts to hedge against future movements in foreign exchange rates that affect certain existing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and forecasted foreign currency revenue and expense transactions. Under this program, our strategy is to have increases or decreases in our foreign currency exposures mitigated by gains or losses on the foreign currency forward contracts in order to mitigate the risks and volatility associated with foreign currency transaction gains or losses.

We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. For accounting purposes, certain of our foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments and, accordingly, we record the fair value of these contracts as of the end of our reporting period in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in fair value recorded within Other income (expense), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for both realized and unrealized gains and losses. Certain of our foreign currency forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, and, accordingly, we record the fair value of these contracts as of the end of our reporting period in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in fair value recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings, and in the same line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the impact of the hedge transaction. At June 29, 2019, we expect to reclassify $0.2 million of the amount accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings during the next 12 months, due to the recognition in earnings of the hedged forecasted transactions.

The fair value of our foreign exchange derivative contracts was determined based on current foreign currency exchange rates and forward points. All of our foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding at ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018~~2019 will mature in the ~~third~~first quarter of fiscal ~~2018.~~2020.

The following table provides information about our foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018~~2019 (in thousands):

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

We measure and report goodwill and intangible assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis if we determine these assets to be impaired or in the period when we make a business acquisition. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three ~~or nine~~and six months ended ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018~~2019 or ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2018.

Note 8 — Warranty

We offer warranties on certain products and record a liability for the estimated future costs associated with warranty claims at the time revenue is recognized. The warranty liability is based upon historical experience and our estimate of the level of future costs. While we engage in product quality programs and processes, our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery ~~costs incurred in correcting a product failure.~~costs. We continuously monitor product returns for warranty and maintain a reserve for the related expenses based upon our historical experience and any specifically identified ~~field~~ failures. As we sell new products to our customers, we must exercise considerable judgment in estimating the expected failure rates. This estimating process is based on historical experience of similar products, as well as various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.

We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized as a component of Cost of revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

Common Stock Repurchase Program

In February 2017, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $25 million of outstanding common stock to offset potential dilution from issuances of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan and equity incentive plan. The share repurchase program will expire on February 1, 2020. Repurchased shares are retired upon the settlement of the related transactions with the excess of cost over par value charged to additional paid-in capital. All repurchases are made in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018,~~2019, we did not repurchase any shares. As of ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018,~~2019, $6.0 million remained available for future repurchases.

Note 12 — Leases

We lease real estate space under non-cancelable operating lease agreements for commercial and industrial space, as well as our corporate headquarters located in Livermore, California. Our leases have remaining terms of 1 to 9 years, and some leases include options to extend up to 20 years. We also have operating leases for automobiles with remaining lease terms of 1 to 4 years. We did not include any of our renewal options in our lease terms for calculating our lease liability as the renewal options allow us to maintain operational flexibility and we are not reasonably certain we will exercise these options at this time. The weighted-average remaining lease term for our operating leases was 8 years at June 29, 2019 and the weighted-average discount rate was 4.7%.

Note 13 — Revenue

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations: On June 29, 2019, we had $3.8 million of remaining performance obligations, which were comprised of deferred service contracts and extended warranty contracts not yet delivered. We expect to recognize approximately 71% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue in the remainder of fiscal 2019, and approximately 29% in fiscal 2020 and thereafter. The foregoing excludes the value of other remaining performance obligations as they have original durations of one year or less, and also excludes information about variable consideration allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation.

Contract balances: The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Accounts receivable is recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. A receivable is recognized in the period we deliver goods or provide services or when our right to consideration is unconditional. A contract asset is recorded when we have performed under the contract but our right to consideration is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Contract assets as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018 were $0.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of Prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Contract liabilities include payments received in advance of performance under a contract and are satisfied as the associated revenue is recognized. Contract liabilities are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period as a component of Deferred revenue and Other liabilities. Contract liabilities as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018 were $7.9 million and $5.7 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 29, 2019, we recognized $0.9 million and $2.9 million of revenue, respectively, that was included in contract liabilities as of December 29, 2018.

Costs to obtain a contract: We generally expense sales commissions when incurred as a component of Selling, general and administrative expense as the amortization period is typically less than one year.

Revenue by Category: Refer to Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Overview

FormFactor, Inc., headquartered in Livermore, California, is a leading provider of electrical test and measurement ~~solutions.~~technologies. We provide a broad range of high-performance probe cards, analytical probes, probe stations and thermal sub-systems to both semiconductor companies and scientific institutions. Our products provide electrical information from a variety of semiconductor and electro-optical devices and integrated circuits ~~(devices)~~ from research, to development tothrough production. Customers use our products and services to lower production costs, improve yields, and enable development of their complex next-generation ~~devices.~~products.

We operate in two reportable segments consisting of the Probe Cards segment and the Systems segment. Sales of our probe cards and analytical probes are included in the Probe Cards segment, while sales of our probe stations and thermal sub-systems are included in the Systems segment.

We generated net income of ~~$18.9~~$12.4 million in the first ~~nine~~six months of fiscal ~~2018~~2019 as compared to ~~$35.3~~$11.2 million in the first ~~nine~~six months of fiscal ~~2017.~~2018. The ~~decrease~~increase in net income was primarily due to ~~decreased revenue from our Probe Cards segment~~higher revenues, partially offset by higher operating expenses and ~~increased operating expenses.~~a higher effective income tax rate.

Critical Accounting Policies and the Use of Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our ~~2017~~2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K describe the significant accounting estimates and critical accounting policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. During the ~~nine~~three and six months ended ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018, other than the adoption of new revenue recognition guidance as described in Note 1,~~2019, there were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies or estimates from those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December ~~30, 2017,~~29, 2018, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February ~~27, 2018.~~26, 2019.

The ~~decreases~~increases in Foundry & Logic product revenue for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018,~~2019, compared to the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, were primarily the result of lower demand in the prior year from one major ~~customer.~~customer as a result of delays in its node transitions. This major customer accounted for ~~24.5%~~26.1% and ~~18.0%~~23.8%, respectively, of total revenues for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018,~~2019, compared to ~~30.6%~~15.1% and ~~27.4%~~14.6%, respectively, for the ~~comparable periods of 2017.~~three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Revenues by Geographic Region

¹Asia-Pacific includes all countries in the region except ~~Taiwan,~~China, Japan, South Korea and ~~Japan,~~Taiwan, which are disclosed separately.

Geographic revenue information is based on the location to which we ship the product. For example, if a certain South Korean customer purchases through their U.S. subsidiary and requests the products to be shipped to an address in South Korea, this sale will be reflected in the revenue for South Korea rather than the U.S.

Changes in revenue by geographic region for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018~~2019 compared to the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2018 were primarily attributable to changes in customer demand, shifts in customer regional manufacturing strategies, and product sales mix.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Margins

Cost of revenues consists primarily of manufacturing materials, compensation and benefits, shipping and handling costs, manufacturing-related overhead and amortization of certain intangible assets. Our manufacturing operations rely on a limited number of suppliers to provide key components and materials for our products, some of which are a sole source. We order materials and supplies based on backlog and forecasted customer orders. Tooling and setup costs related to changing manufacturing lots at our suppliers are also included in the cost of revenues. We expense all warranty costs, inventory provisions and amortization of certain intangible assets as cost of revenues.

Our gross profit and gross margin were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Gross profit and gross margin fluctuate with revenue levels, product mix, selling prices, factory loading and material costs. For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September~~June 29, 2019, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, gross profit and gross margin decreased due to product mix, offset by increased sales.

Future gross margins may be adversely impacted by lower revenues, unfavorable product mix and lower factory utilization even though we have taken significant steps to reduce our operating cost structure. Our gross margins may also be adversely affected if we are required to record additional inventory write-downs for estimated average selling prices that are below cost.

Research and Development

The ~~decrease~~increases in research and development expenses in the three and six months ended ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018~~2019 when compared to the corresponding ~~period~~periods in the prior year ~~was~~were primarily driven by annual compensation and benefit adjustments, partially offset by a decrease in ~~employee incentive compensation.~~project material costs.

Interest income is earned on our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities. The increases in interest income for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018~~2019 compared with the corresponding periods of the prior year were attributable to higher investment yields, as well as higher average investment balances.

Interest expense primarily includes interest on our term loan and interest-rate swap derivative contracts, as well as term loan issuance costs amortization charges. The decreases in interest expense for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018~~2019 compared to the ~~three and nine months ended September 30, 2017~~same periods of the prior year were primarily due to lower outstanding debt balances as a result of principal payments made, partially offset by higher interest rates.

Other ~~Income (Expense),~~Expense, Net

Other ~~income (expense),~~expense, net, primarily includes the effects of foreign currency impact and various other gains and losses.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes reflects the tax provision on our operations in foreign and U.S. jurisdictions, offset by tax benefits from lapsing of statute of limitations related to uncertain tax positions in foreign jurisdictions. ~~We continue to maintain a full~~In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, we released our valuation allowance against ~~our~~certain U.S. ~~Federal and State~~ deferred tax ~~assets. The change~~assets as sufficient positive evidence existed to support the realization of such deferred tax assets, resulting in ~~provision for income taxes was driven by higher profits~~an increase in ~~foreign jurisdictions~~our effective tax rate for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018,~~2019 compared to the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~

We have reported U.S. pre-tax losses, compared to U.S. pre-tax income in seven of the last nine fiscal years. We have not yet been able to establish a sustained level of profitability in the U.S. or other sufficient significant positive evidence to conclude that our U.S. deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. Therefore, we continue to maintain a valuation allowance against most of our U.S. deferred tax assets. It is reasonably possible that by the end of fiscal year 2018, we will establish a sustained level of profitability in the U.S. As a result, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, we may reverse a significant portion of the valuation allowance recorded against our U.S. deferred tax assets, which was $109.8 million at December 30, 2017. The reversal would result in a noncash income tax benefit for the three and twelve months ended December 29, 2018.

New tax legislation, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), was enacted on December 22, 2017. In connection with our initial analysis of the impact of the Tax Act, the Tax Act did not have a material impact on the fiscal 2017 tax provision. With the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate, we revalued our ending U.S. deferred tax assets at December 30, 2017, which was offset by a corresponding change in the U.S. valuation allowance. We also released the valuation allowance against $0.8 million of AMT tax credits at December 30, 2017 which became fully refundable under the Tax Act. We have completed the accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act described above for fiscal year 2017 and there have been no material changes to estimated amounts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our working capital was ~~$224.3~~$244.8 million at ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018, which did not change significantly~~2019, compared to ~~$213.7~~$235.3 million at December ~~30, 2017.~~29, 2018.

Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of deposits held at banks and money market ~~funds and commercial paper.~~funds. Marketable securities primarily consist of U.S. treasuries, U.S. agency securities and corporate bonds. We typically invest in highly-rated securities with low probabilities of default. Our investment policy requires investments to be rated single A or better, and limits the types of acceptable investments, issuer concentration and duration of the investment.

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled approximately ~~$142.1~~$176.9 million at ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018,~~2019, compared to ~~$140.2~~$149.0 million at December ~~30, 2017.~~29, 2018. We believe that we will be able to satisfy our working capital requirements and scheduled term loan repayments for at least the next twelve months with the liquidity provided by our existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and cash provided by operations. To the extent necessary, we may consider entering into short and long-term debt obligations, raising cash through a stock issuance, or obtaining new financing facilities, which may not be available on terms favorable to us. Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those now planned.

If we are unsuccessful in maintaining or growing our revenues, maintaining or reducing our cost structure (in response to an industry demand downturn or other event), or increasing our available cash through debt or equity financings, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities may decline in fiscal ~~2018.~~2019.

We utilize a variety of tax planning and financing strategies ~~in an effort~~ to manage our worldwide cash and deploy funds to locations where ~~they are~~ needed. As part of these strategies, we indefinitely reinvest a portion of our ~~foreign earnings. During the nine months ended September 29, 2018, we repatriated $16.5 million of~~ foreign earnings. Should we require additional capital in the United States, we may elect to repatriate indefinitely-reinvested foreign funds or raise capital in the United States.

The following table sets forth our net cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities:

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018~~2019 was primarily attributable to net income of ~~$18.9~~$12.4 million and ~~$53.3~~$40.8 million of net non-cash expenses, offset by operating assets and liabilities using ~~$26.1~~$2.2 million of cash as discussed in more detail below.

Accounts receivable, net, ~~increased $7.4~~decreased $24.0 million to ~~$88.9~~$71.3 million at ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018,~~2019, compared to ~~$81.5~~$95.3 million at December ~~30, 2017,~~29, 2018, as a result of changes in customer sales mix, timing of customer shipments and timing of customer ~~shipments.~~payments.

Inventories, net, increased ~~$13.7~~$6.1 million to ~~$81.5~~$83.9 million at ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018,~~2019, compared to ~~$67.8~~$77.7 million at December ~~30, 2017,~~29, 2018, as a result of increased inventory purchases to shorten lead time and improve pricing, and ~~in anticipation~~timing of customer demand.

~~Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased $2.0~~Accounts payable decreased $13.8 million to ~~$15.7~~$26.3 million at ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018,~~2019, compared to ~~$13.7~~$40.0 million at December ~~30, 2017, as a result of increases in unrealized gains on hedging and forward contracts, prepaid insurance and other services, and short-term deposits.~~

~~Accounts payable increased $14.6 million to $49.7 million at September~~ 29, 2018, ~~compared to $35.0 million at December 30, 2017, as a result of increased inventory and fixed asset purchases, and timing of vendor payments.~~

~~Accrued liabilities decreased $8.8 million to $24.9 million at September 29, 2018, compared to $33.7 million at December 30, 2017,~~ as a result of timing of ~~employee payroll, decreases in employee stock purchase plan withholdings due to timing within the plan's withholding period, and decrease in accrued warranty.~~vendor payments.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018~~2019 was primarily related to ~~$12.3~~$11.5 million of cash used in the acquisition of property, plant and equipment, as well as ~~$1.2~~$1.1 million of net purchases of marketable securities.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018~~2019 primarily related to ~~$33.8~~$18.8 million of principal payments made towards the repayment of our term loan and ~~$5.7~~$2.2 million related to tax withholdings associated with the net share settlements of our equity awards, partially offset by ~~$7.7~~$3.9 million of proceeds received from issuances of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan and ~~exercise of~~ stock ~~options.~~option plans.

On June 24, 2016, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with HSBC Bank USA, National Association ("HSBC"). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the lenders provided us with a senior secured term loan facility of $150 million (the “Term Loan”). The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to finance a portion of the purchase price paid in connection with the acquisition of Cascade Microtech.

The Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to, at our option, (i) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") rate plus 2.00% per annum or (ii) Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.00% per annum. We have currently elected to pay interest at 2.00% over the one-month LIBOR rate. Interest payments are payable in monthly installments over a five-year period.

On July 25, 2016, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with HSBC and other lenders to hedge the interest payments on the Term Loan for the notional amount of $95.6 million. As future levels of LIBOR over the life of the loan are uncertain, we entered into these interest-rate swap agreements to hedge the exposure in interest rate risks associated with movement in LIBOR rates. By entering into the agreements, we convert a floating rate interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2% into a fixed rate interest at 2.939%. As of ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018~~2019, the notional amount of the loan that is subject to this interest rate swap is ~~$60.0~~$33.8 million. See Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The Term Loan amortizes in equal quarterly installments, which began June 30, 2016, in annual amounts equal to 5% for year one, 10% for year two, 20% for year three, 30% for year four and 35% for year five. The Credit Agreement allows voluntary prepayment to be made at any time to prepay the Term Loan in whole or in part without penalty or premium. As of ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018,~~2019, we have made prepayments of $40.0 million in addition to scheduled installments per the Credit Agreement. For the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018,~~2019, we ~~made~~did not make any prepayments ~~of $5.0 million and $15.0 million, respectively,~~ in addition to scheduled installments.

The obligations under the Term Loan are guaranteed by substantially all of our assets and the assets of our domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain customary exceptions.

The Credit Agreement contains negative covenants customary for financing of this type, as well as certain financial maintenance covenants. As of ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018,~~2019, the balance outstanding pursuant to the Term Loan was ~~$72.5~~$46.3 million at an interest rate of ~~4.25%~~4.1% and we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Stock Repurchase Program

In February 2017, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $25 million of outstanding common stock to offset potential dilution from issuances of common stock under our stock-based compensation plans. The share repurchase program will expire on February 1, 2020. During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018,~~2019, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock. As of ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018,~~2019, $6.0 million remained available for future repurchases.

Repurchased shares are retired upon the settlement of the related trade transactions with the excess of cost over par value charged to additional paid-in capital. All repurchases were made in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Other than our operating lease commitments as disclosed in Note 1112 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, our contractual obligations and commitments have not materially changed as of ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018~~2019 from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December ~~30, 2017.~~29, 2018.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Historically, we have not participated in transactions that have generated relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018,~~2019, we were not involved in any such off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

For financial market risks related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, reference is made to Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” contained in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December ~~30, 2017.~~29, 2018. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December ~~30, 2017.~~29, 2018.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on our management’s evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control systems’ objectives are being met. Further, the design of any control systems must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of all controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Control systems can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

CEO and CFO Certifications

We have attached as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, which are required in accordance with the Exchange Act. We recommend that this Item 4 be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the subject matter presented.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 29, ~~2018~~2019 to the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December ~~30, 2017.~~29, 2018. If any of the identified risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer. The trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment in our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December ~~30, 2017~~29, 2018 are not the only ones we face. Additional risks that we currently do not know about or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business operations.
