Cascade Microtech, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCD) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Financial summary from the second quarter:

  • Revenue in Q2 2011 of $27.4M achieved mid-point of guidance.
    • Growth in Systems, Production Probes and Sockets were offset by the seasonal decrease in Engineering Probes.
  • Gross margin of 38.6%.
    • Gross margins impacted by $0.5M of planned factory consolidation costs.
  • Operating expenses of $12.3M.
    • Research and development expenses were down due to the timing of R&D projects.
    • Increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributed to planned restructuring costs associated with vacating leased facilities of $1.4M and other special charges of $0.1M.
  • Loss from operations of $1.7M after $2.0M of restructuring, factory consolidation costs and special charges.
  • Net loss of $2.0M or $0.14 per share for Q2 2011.
  • Book-to-bill ratio of 1.2 on record quarterly bookings.

"In Q2 we experienced record customer order flow and made significant progress towards reducing our overhead structure. We posted stable revenue and record bookings which resulted in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.2. The record bookings in Q2 builds a strong backlog that supports Q3 2011 and beyond," said Michael Burger, president and CEO of Cascade Microtech. "Our progress towards our published success model included the consolidation of our Engineering Probes and Production Probes factories in Oregon, and the continuation of our Systems factory consolidation to Dresden Germany, where we have achieved a major milestone by shipping our first 300mm Elite system. Also in Q2, we accelerated and completed the implementation of our ERP solution in Dresden. As stated in previous conference calls, these activities created incremental expenses related to restructuring and other special charges in Q2. We anticipate that the majority of the restructuring and other special charges will be completed by the end of Q3 2011. In summary, we are pleased with our progress towards our stated goals."

Financial outlook

Based on the current backlog, anticipated bookings, and normal seasonality, Cascade Microtech anticipates that Q3 2011 revenues will be in the range of $26.0M to $29.0M.
