“inTEST delivered solid financial results for the second quarter,” commented inTEST President & CEO Nick Grant, “Fueled by broad end market demand in the semiconductor industry across both of our segments, along with increasing demand for our products outside of semiconductors as our industrial markets strengthen. Strong demand for our innovative test and process technology solutions across a diverse set of end applications resulted in financial results which exceeded our topline guidance; net revenues increased 12% sequentially and 64% year-over-year. The operations teams across the Company did an outstanding job managing our supply chains and overcoming resource challenges to support customer demand in the quarter.

“There are a number of dynamics driving semiconductor demand, which we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on,” Mr. Grant continued. “Consumer products continue to be driven by automotive and IoT, the 5G buildout is still in early stages, technology advances are ongoing, and we believe that the regional infrastructure buildouts will drive further demand. In addition, we are investing in growth opportunities outside of the semiconductor market, such as electric vehicles, cannabis, and the medical market.”

Mr. Grant concluded, “I’m pleased with the progress we are making to capture semiconductor related growth, while investing in developing vertical growth markets and segments outside of the semiconductor market which over time will serve to lessen our dependency on this cyclical industry.”

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

inTEST expects that net revenues for the 2021 third quarter will be in the range of $20.5 million to $21.5 million and that on a GAAP basis, 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, all of which are subject to change.

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 and EBITDA. 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). 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. These measures may be useful to an investor in evaluating the underlying operating performance of our business. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release 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. Reconciliations from net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per diluted share to adjusted net earnings (loss) and adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share and from net earnings (loss) to EBITDA, are contained in the tables below. The non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press 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.
