Outlook

Dr. Slessor added, “Given COVID-19 related uncertainties, we are not providing a formal outlook range for revenue, gross margin or EPS for the second quarter. Although our visibility is even more limited than usual, demand for FormFactor’s products remains strong. We are, however, output constrained, as our factories are now operating with limited production due to social distancing requirements. We anticipate these manufacturing constraints will keep second quarter factory output approximately ten percent below the level achieved during the first quarter. Absent these constraints, we anticipate we would have generated sequential revenue growth in the second quarter.”

We posted our revenue breakdown by geographic region, by market segment and with customers with greater than 10% of total revenue on the Investor Relations section of our website at www.formfactor.com. We will conduct a conference call at 1:30 p.m. PDT, or 4:30 p.m. EDT, today.
