Semiconductor wafer probe card maker FormFactor, Inc. (FORM) Tuesday lowered its fourth quarter revenue forecast, hurt by a delay in the timing of customer technology transitions, tooling cycles and volume plans. FormFactor shares are currently trading down nearly 9% on the Nasdaq.
The Livermore, California-based company now expects fourth quarter revenue to be in the range of $32 million to $33 million compared to its previous view of down 10% from third quarter 2009 results, or $38 million to $39 million. On average, five analysts polled by Thomson Reuters currently expects the company to report revenues of $39.54 million.
The company currently expects revenues in the first quarter of 2010 to be in the range of $40 million plus or minus 10%. Analysts currently expect revenues of $45.82 million for the first quarter.
However, FormFactor said that it continues to expect strong growth in fiscal 2010 fueled by design proliferation and volume ramps resulting in about 60% year-over-year revenue growth, plus or minus 10%.
The company added that results for any particular quarter may fluctuate based on customer-specific factors and because an increasing percentage of its business is being derived from revenue booked and realized within the same quarter.
FormFactor ended its fiscal fourth quarter with about $450 million in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities.
FORM is currently trading at $18.88 per share, down 8.26%, on the Nasdaq.
