SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 27, 2016 (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 third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Total revenues for the third fiscal quarter of 2016 totaled $27.3 million, up 2% from $26.7 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2016 and up 14% from $23.9 million for the third fiscal quarter of 2015. Design-to-silicon-yield solutions revenue for the third fiscal quarter of 2016 totaled $18.6 million, down 10% from $20.6 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2016 and up 8% from $17.2 million for the third fiscal quarter of 2015. Gainshare performance incentives revenue for the third fiscal quarter of 2016 totaled $8.7 million, up 42% from $6.1 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2016 and up 31% from $6.6 million for the third fiscal quarter of 2015.

On a GAAP basis, net income for the third fiscal quarter of 2016 was $1.9 million, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, compared to $2.2 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, for the second fiscal quarter of 2016, and compared to $1.5 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, for the third fiscal quarter of 2015.

Cash and cash equivalents were $118.5 million at September 30, 2016, compared to $126.2 million at December 31, 2015.

Non-GAAP net income for the third fiscal quarter of 2016 was $5.4 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $5.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the second fiscal quarter of 2016, and compared to $5.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the third fiscal quarter of 2015. EBITDAR for the third quarter of 2016 was $7.2 million, compared to $7.1 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2016, and compared to $7.4 million for the third fiscal quarter of 2015.

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/events.cfm. 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.

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. For a more detailed reconciliation of the adjustments made to comparable GAAP measures, please refer the “GAAP to Non-GAAP and EBITDAR Reconciliation” provided in the Investor Relations section of our website at http://ir.pdf.com/sec.cfm.

(1) As announced on September 29, 2014, we were unable to close two Design-to-silicon-yield solutions contracts, which restricted our ability to book revenue relating to work on these projects and required us to impair previously deferred costs of  $1.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014. As reported on January 7, 2015, in the three months ended March 31, 2015, we executed those two contacts, which increased our Design-to-Silicon-Yield Solutions revenue in the quarter by approximately $6.0 million. Reinstatement of previously impaired costs is not allowed under US GAAP. Accordingly, in order to match the revenue and the cost associated with these two contracts, management has included these costs in the current period as a non-GAAP reconciling item.
 
   
(2) 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 incurred direct acquisition costs, acquisition related contingent earn-out and recorded an adjustment to reduce revenue recognized from deferred revenue arising from the acquisition.  Accordingly, for non-GAAP purposes, the Company is excluding these expenses and the reduction to revenue in order to provide better comparability between periods.
