“Demand for our innovative test and process technology solutions is strong and we ended the year with good momentum,” noted Mr. Grant. “Fourth quarter bookings increased 22% sequentially and 58% year-over-year, while net revenues increased 3% sequentially and 9% year-over-year and were at the high end of our guidance. Backlog increased by $5.9 million compared to the end of 2019 and we continue to generate positive cash flow.

“We enter 2021 optimistic for the year ahead. Market tailwinds and investments are driving growth, the worldwide chip shortage is expected to last into next year, utilization rates are projected to stay historically high, which normally correlates to strong semiconductor business for inTEST, and we are making inroads into a number of growth markets and segments outside of the semiconductor market.” Mr. Grant concluded, “We are meeting the demanding requirements of our customers with an impressive breadth of products to serve our global customer base; and with our business growing, we expect to approach record bookings levels for the first quarter of 2021.”

2021 First Quarter Financial Outlook
inTEST’s guidance for the 2021 first quarter includes estimates of both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation between these GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures is included below.

inTEST expects that net revenues for the first quarter of 2021 will be in the range of $18.5 million to $19.5 million and that on a GAAP basis, our net earnings per diluted share will range from $0.18 to $0.22. On a non-GAAP basis, we expect our adjusted net earnings per diluted share will range from $0.21 to $0.25. In addition, we expect that gross margin will range from 49% to 51%. This outlook is based on the Company’s current views with respect to operating and market conditions and customers’ forecasts, which are subject to change. Actual results may differ materially as a result of, among other things, the factors described under “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we also disclose non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures consist of adjusted net earnings (loss), adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share, EBITDA, net earnings excluding restructuring and other non-recurring charges and net earnings excluding restructuring and other non-recurring charges per diluted share. Adjusted net earnings (loss) is derived by adding acquired intangible amortization, adjusted for the related income tax expense (benefit), to net earnings (loss). Adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share is derived by dividing adjusted net earnings (loss) by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. EBITDA is derived by adding acquired intangible amortization, interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation to net earnings (loss). Net earnings per diluted share excluding restructuring and other non-recurring charges is derived by adding restructuring and other charges and other non-recurring charges, both tax effected, to net earnings (loss) and net earnings excluding restructuring and other non-recurring charges per diluted share is derived by dividing net earnings excluding restructuring and other non-recurring charges by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. These results are provided as a complement to the results provided in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net earnings (loss), adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share and EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures presented to provide investors with meaningful, supplemental information regarding our baseline performance before acquired intangible amortization charges as this expense may not be indicative of our current core business or future outlook. Net earnings excluding restructuring and other non-recuring charges and net earnings excluding restructuring and other non-recurring charges per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures presented to provide investors with meaningful, supplemental information regarding our baseline performance before restructuring and other non-recurring charges as these restructuring and other non-recurring charges may not be indicative of our current core business or future outlook. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to make operational decisions, to forecast future operational results, and for comparison with our business plan, historical operating results and the operating results of our peers. A reconciliation from net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per diluted share to adjusted net earnings (loss) and adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share, from net earnings (loss) to EBITDA and from net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per diluted share to net earnings excluding restructuring and other non-recurring charges and net earnings excluding restructuring and other non-recurring charges per diluted share, which are discussed in this earnings release, is contained in the tables below. The non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this earnings release may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures or information provided in accordance with GAAP.
