"Cascade Microtech set quarterly records for production probe and analytical probe card revenue, overall revenue, income from operations, adjusted EBITDAS, and bookings. As a percentage of revenue, in the fourth quarter we improved our adjusted EBITDAS to 21.8% which compares favorably to our stated success model target of 22%. This achievement reflects our customers growing demand for Cascade products and services as well as the leverage of our financial model. This financial performance was achieved as we increased our investments in R&D for new product development," said Michael Burger, President and CEO. "On an annual basis, records were set for probes segment revenue, overall revenue, gross margins, income from operations, adjusted EBITDAS and non-GAAP EPS. With a very strong close to 2015 together with record backlog, we expect to financially outperform our 2015 results and grow faster than the markets we serve in 2016."

Financial Outlook

For the first quarter of 2016 we are projecting revenue in the range of $33.0 million to $37.0 million, with diluted GAAP earnings per share in the range of $0.08 to $0.14, and non-GAAP earnings per share in the range of $0.10 to $0.16. Our guidance assumes a tax rate of 32%, consistent foreign currency exchange rates and no significant one-time charges.
