View PricingFormFactor's Q4 CY2024 Performance: Growth amidst Challenges
Semiconductor testing firm, FormFactor (NASDAQ:FORM) reported a revenue increase of 12.7% year-on-year in Q4 CY2024, achieving sales of $189.5 million, aligning with Wall Street expectations. The full report is available here. However, the company's guidance for the next quarter anticipates revenue of $170 million, which falls short of analysts' projections by 11.6%. Despite meeting revenue targets, FormFactor's non-GAAP profit of $0.27 per share did not meet analysts' expectations, falling short by 7.3%.
"As expected, FormFactor reported sequentially lower fourth-quarter revenue, gross margin, and non-GAAP earnings per share, driven by the forecasted reduction in Foundry & Logic probe-card revenue," said Mike Slessor, CEO of FormFactor. In context, FormFactor is a significant player in the semiconductor industry, providing necessary testing and measurement technologies within the expanding field driven by innovations like AI and 5G networks.
According to insights from the IndexBox platform, the semiconductor sector's demand is buoyed by advanced electronics such as smartphones, PCs, and smart cars. However, FormFactor's compounded annual growth rate over the past five years has been a moderate 5.3%, suggesting a restrained performance in comparison to sector benchmarks.
In this latest financial report, despite the commendable 12.7% year-on-year growth for the quarter, FormFactor's guidance for future sales remains flat. Sell-side analysts predict a 7.2% revenue growth over the next 12 months, indicating potential but still underperforming relative to industry standards.
Additionally, a crucial metric for semiconductor companies, Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO), stood at 80 for FormFactor this quarter, which is 14 days below its five-year average. This suggests no immediate concern for inventory buildup despite market challenges.
Turning to stock performance, following the Q4 results, FormFactor's shares saw a significant dip, trading down 21.5% to $32.30. The insufficient quarterly earnings and subdued guidance underline the hurdles the company faces in a competitive, fluctuating industry environment.
