FormFactor, Inc. Reports 2025 Fourth Quarter Results

Record Revenue of $785.0 Million in FY25 Driven by Growth in High Bandwidth Memory
Q4 Revenue, Gross Margin and Earnings per Share Exceed High End of the Outlook Range; Expect Continued Strength in Q1'26

LIVERMORE, Calif., Feb. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FormFactor, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORM) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 ended December 27, 2025. Quarterly revenues were $215.2 million, an increase of 6.2% compared to $202.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, and an increase of 13.6% from $189.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. For fiscal 2025, FormFactor recorded revenues of $785.0 million, up 2.8% from $763.6 million in fiscal 2024.

  • Exceeded the high end of the outlook range on revenue, gross margin and earnings per share
  • Demonstrated 540 basis points of non-GAAP gross margin improvement in second half of 2025; expect continued expansion in Q1'26
  • Another record quarter in DRAM revenue driven by the increase in non-HBM DRAM applications like DDR4 and DDR5, as anticipated
  • Continued focus on capacity expansion within existing footprint expected to deliver both output increases and gross-margin expansion throughout 2026
  • Strengthened leadership in co-packaged optics testing with strategic acquisition of Keystone Photonics
  • Announced Analyst Day on May 11th to discuss strategy and provide an updated target financial model

"FormFactor's fourth quarter revenue, gross margin, and earnings per share all exceeded both third quarter results and the high end of our outlook range, and we posted record revenue on both a quarterly and annual basis," said Mike Slessor, CEO of FormFactor, Inc. "Building on that momentum, we expect to again deliver sequentially higher revenue and non-GAAP gross margin in the first quarter as we meet the challenges and opportunities of increased test intensity and higher test complexity at the intersection of advanced packaging and high-performance-compute."

About our Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per basic and diluted share, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income and free cash flow provides supplemental information that is important to understanding financial and business trends and other factors relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per basic and diluted share, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, and non-GAAP operating income are among the primary indicators used by management as a basis for planning and forecasting future periods, and by management and our board of directors to determine whether our operating performance has met certain targets and thresholds. Management uses non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per basic and diluted share, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, and non-GAAP operating income when evaluating operating performance because it believes that the exclusion of the items indicated herein, for which the amounts or timing may vary significantly depending upon our activities and other factors, facilitates comparability of our operating performance from period to period. We use free cash flow to conduct and evaluate our business as an additional way of viewing our liquidity that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our cash flows. Many investors also prefer to track free cash flow, as opposed to only GAAP earnings. Free cash flow has limitations due to the fact that it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, and therefore it is important to view free cash flow as a complement to our entire consolidated statements of cash flows. We have chosen to provide this non-GAAP information to investors so they can analyze our operating results closer to the way that management does, and use this information in their assessment of our business and the valuation of our Company. We compute non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per basic and diluted share, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, and non-GAAP operating income, by adjusting GAAP net income, GAAP net income per basic and diluted share, GAAP gross profit, GAAP gross margin, GAAP operating expenses, and GAAP operating income to remove the impact of certain items and the tax effect, if applicable, of those adjustments. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP, and may be materially different from other non-GAAP measures, including similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, net income, net income per basic and diluted share, gross profit, gross margin, operating expenses, or operating income in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. We may expect to continue to incur expenses of a nature similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from our non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per basic and diluted share, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, and non-GAAP operating income should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. For more information on the non-GAAP adjustments, please see the table captioned "Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations" included in this press release.
