PORTLAND, Ore.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Cascade Microtech (NASDAQ:CSCD -News), today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007.
Highlights for the Second Quarter 2007 include:

“Our Engineering Products Division continued to show strong performance in the second quarter of 2007, in which we shipped another record number of 300mm probe stations. In our Production Products Division, however, both Pyramid Probe Card revenues and bookings were below plan as we continue to build a more diversified customer base”, said Eric Strid, CEO of Cascade Microtech. “During the quarter, we were pleased to complete the acquisition of Gryphics, Inc. and have begun the integration of this business into our Production Products Division,” added Strid.
Revenue for the second quarter was $24.1 million, net income for the quarter was $0.2 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.02 compared to revenue of $19.6 million, net income of $0.8 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.07 for the second quarter of 2006.
Gross margin for the second quarter was 44.8% compared to 45.7% in the first quarter of 2007 and 44.6% for the second quarter of 2006.
For the second quarter, there was a tax benefit of $248,000 which included the impact of the acquisition of Gryphics, Inc., which was acquired in April 2007.
Financial Outlook
Based on the current backlog and anticipated bookings, Cascade anticipates that third quarter 2007 revenues will be in the range of $23.0 million to $25.0 million and that diluted earnings per share will be in the range of $0.01 to $0.06.
