EPS $0.01

BEAVERTON, Ore.—(MARKETWIRE)—May 4, 2011—Cascade Microtech, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCD) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.

“Even though the industry typically experiences softness in the first quarter of the year, Cascade Microtech’s first quarter 2011 revenue set another all time quarterly record, which was the third record in a row. As we previously communicated, the Company is executing on growing the business and strategically investing in R&D, while we consolidate our facilities and further rationalize our cost structure. With all of these activities, we continued to generate income from operations, build cash and investments, and post a net income of $0.01 earnings per share in Q1 2011,” said Michael Burger, president and CEO of Cascade Microtech. “Cascade Microtech continues to execute on our growth opportunities as we work to lower our cost structure and position the Company to achieve our success model in the near term.”

Revenue in Q1 2011 of $27.8M, an increase of 2.6% over Q4 2010.

 

   

Third consecutive quarter of record revenue.

 

   

Systems revenue grew 5.1% over Q4 2010.

 

   

Gross margin of 40.3%, down from 44.1% in Q4 2010.

 

   

Gross margins impacted by factory rationalization and product mix.

 

   

Operating margins of 0.7%, down from 2.4% in Q4 2010.

 

   

Increased investment in research and development supported product development roadmap.
