Verigy Ltd. (NASDAQ: VRGY), a premier semiconductor test company, today updated certain financial guidance for its third fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2009.

Revenue for the third quarter is expected to increase 10 percent to 25 percent from the $71 million reported for the second quarter, which is consistent with prior guidance. As Verigy previously disclosed, the company does not expect third quarter revenue from Touchdown Technologies, which it acquired on June 15, 2009. Also consistent with previous guidance, Verigy expects gross margins to improve from two to five percentage points from the 31 percent level reported for its second quarter.

As a result of the acquisition of Touchdown Technologies, Verigy expects incremental cash consumption of approximately $4 million in the third quarter from the levels that would have been incurred absent the acquisition. In addition, as previously disclosed, while Verigy expects this acquisition to incrementally increase its quarterly $110 million breakeven target in the near term, the company has not yet quantified the overall impact to its total company target model.

Verigy expects to announce the full results of its third quarter financial results on August 20, 2009. Additional details of the earnings announcement and related webcast investor call will be provided at a later date.
