“Although our Q4 results reflect delays in the timing of our customers’ technology transitions, tooling cycles and volume plans, exiting the quarter, we are encouraged by the uptake in interest and orders we experienced from a broader customer base,” said Mario Ruscev, CEO of FormFactor. “In 2009, in addition to delivering new technologies for our existing products, which helped us expand our share and customer reach, we also launched our next generation DRAM and Flash memory wafer probe cards incorporating our new product architectures. We are pleased by the customer reception of our new products, and we believe that these new technologies and products are critical to meeting customers’ reduced lead times and enabling FormFactor’s growth and expansion into markets we have not fully addressed. Although the timing of the recovery is still uncertain, we remain confident that we will return to growth in 2010.”
