Commenting on the Company’s second quarter financial results, inTEST CFO and interim CEO Hugh Regan, Jr. noted, “Our results for the quarter exceeded expectations, resulting in both revenue and profitability growth. While the overall environment continues to be challenging, largely in light of the COVID-19 pandemic resurgence, we are seeing positive signs in the markets we serve, particularly as they relate to semiconductor manufacturers. Our semiconductor related revenues increased 37% compared to the first quarter of 2020. Consolidated revenues increased 18% sequentially, and were 2% above our guidance and 10% above consensus estimates. Non-GAAP adjusted net earnings per diluted share increased from a loss of $0.08 per share in the first quarter of 2020 to earnings of $0.05 for the 2020 second quarter.”

2020 Third Quarter Financial Outlook
inTEST’s guidance for the 2020 third quarter includes both GAAP and non-GAAP estimates. A reconciliation between these GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures is included below.

Actual results may differ materially as a result of, among other things, the factors described under “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

inTEST expects that net revenues for the third quarter of 2020 will be in the range of $13.5 million to $14.5 million and that on a GAAP basis, net earnings per diluted share will range from $0.01 to $0.06. On a non-GAAP basis, we expect our adjusted net earnings per diluted share will range from $0.04 to $0.09. In addition, we expect that gross margin will range from 46% to 48%. 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 Results
In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we also disclose non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include 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 and changes in the estimate of future consideration that may be paid out related to prior acquisitions as these expenses or income items may not be indicative of our current core business or future outlook. These non-GAAP financial measures 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. A reconciliation 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, which are discussed in this earnings release, is contained in the tables below. The non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this earnings 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.
