PORTLAND, Ore.—(MARKET WIRE)—July 28, 2009—Cascade Microtech (NasdaqGM:CSCD-News) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Second quarter results include:
• | Revenue of $12.6 million, up 10% from Q109 |
• | Probes and sockets revenue increased 20% from Q109 |
• | Net loss of $1.6 million or $0.12 per share for Q209, compared to a net loss of $4.2 million or $0.31 per share in Q109 |
• | Cash and investment balances increased by $0.2 million from Q109 to $33.7 million |
“We have seen a mild recovery in the market place with increases in our revenue and bookings, particularly in probes and sockets, which has improved our gross margin percentage in the second quarter. We have carefully managed our expenses by continuing our cost saving initiatives and have generated cash during the quarter,” said Geoff Wild, CEO of Cascade Microtech. “Although this does not appear to be a rapid recovery, we expect to see continuing growth over the remainder of 2009.”
Financial Outlook
Based on the current backlog and anticipated bookings, Cascade anticipates that third quarter 2009 revenues will be in the range of $12.5 million to $15 million.
