They are headquartered in California and have a global presence to support customers with 970 employees worldwide. They are structured for profitability with high earnings leverage in incremental revenue. Their strong and strengthening balance sheet funds accelerated EPS growth.
FORM owns a strategic position in the semiconductor manufacturing process, positioned between the front end and back end user. Their MEMS technology gives them a key competitive advantage in SoC, DRAM and FLASH memory markets.
During 2014, FormFactor sustained profitability and cash generation, demonstrated their high leverage model and gained market share. They become qualified at all three major DRAM manufacturers. They also qualified their new Vector architecture at two major NAND Flash suppliers.
It’s this improved market position at reduced cost structure that has returned FormFactor to profitability. The advanced probe card market offers an attractive growth opportunity that the company estimates as a $65 to $75 million incremental revenue opportunity through 2016.
