PDF Solutions® Reports Third Quarter
2007 Results
Quarterly Gain Share A Strong Contributor to Overall Revenue Growth
SAN JOSE, Calif.October 31, 2007PDF Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: PDFS) the leading provider of
yield improvement technologies and services for the integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing process
lifecycle, today announced financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007.
Revenue for the third fiscal quarter of 2007 totaled $24.1 million, an increase of 24%,
compared with revenue of $19.4 million for the third fiscal quarter of 2006. Gain share revenue
for the third fiscal quarter of 2007 totaled $6.8 million, an increase of 55%, compared to $4.4
million for the third fiscal quarter of 2006. On a GAAP basis, net loss for the third fiscal
quarter of 2007 totaled approximately $939,000, or $0.03 per basic share, compared with net income
of approximately $570,000, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, for the third fiscal quarter of
2006.
In addition to using GAAP results in evaluating PDF Solutions business, management also
believes it is useful to measure results using a non-GAAP measure of net income, which excludes
stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets and their related
income tax effects. Using this non-GAAP measure, net income for the third fiscal quarter of 2007
totaled approximately $5.3 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income
of approximately $3.6 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the third fiscal quarter of 2006.
Additionally, during the third quarter ended September 30, 2007, PDF Solutions utilized the
remaining balance available under the $10 million share repurchase plan previously
-more-
authorized by its Board of Directors. During the quarter, PDF Solutions repurchased 437,287
of its shares on the open market at a weighted average cost of $10.18, for a total repurchase value
of approximately $4.5 million. On October 29, 2007, PDF
Solutions Board of Directors authorized an additional
$10.0 million share repurchase, to be utilized over the upcoming
three years.
As previously announced, PDF will discuss these results on a live conference call beginning at
3:00 p.m. Pacific Time/6:00 p.m. Eastern Time today. The call will be simultaneously web cast on
PDF Solutions website at http://ir.pdf.com/medialist.cfm. A replay of the web cast will be
available at the same website address beginning approximately two hours after completion of the
live call. Further, a copy of this press release, including the disclosure and reconciliation of
certain non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP measure, which non-GAAP measures may be
used periodically by PDF Solutions management when discussing financial results with investors and
analysts, will be available on PDF Solutions website at http://www.pdf.com/news_archive.phtml
following the date of this release.
Information Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to providing results that are determined in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP), PDF Solutions also provides certain
non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effects of stock-based compensation expense,
amortization of acquired intangible assets, and their related income tax effects. PDF Solutions
management believes that the presentation of these measures provides useful supplemental
information to investors regarding PDFs operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures are
used by management internally to measure the companys profitability and performance. PDFs
management believes that excluding the effects of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of
acquired intangible assets, and their related income tax effects, provides a useful supplemental
measure of the companys ongoing operations in light of the fact that neither category of expense
has a current effect on the future uses of cash nor do they have use with regards to the generation
of current or future revenues. These non-GAAP results should not be considered an alternative to,
or a substitute for, GAAP financial information, and may be different from similarly titled
non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In particular, these non-GAAP financial measures are
not a substitute for GAAP measures of income as a measure of performance, or to cash flows from
operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity. Since management uses
these non-GAAP financial measures internally to measure profitability and performance, PDF has
included these non-GAAP measures to give investors an opportunity to see the companys financial
results as viewed by management. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the
comparable GAAP financial measure is provided at the end of the companys financial statements
presented below.

Solutions® Provides Financial Outlook For
The Fourth Fiscal Quarter of 2007
SAN JOSE, Calif.October 31, 2007PDF Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: PDFS), the leading provider
of yield improvement technologies and services for the integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing
process lifecycle, today provided its financial outlook for the fourth fiscal quarter ending
December 31, 2007.
PDF Solutions expects total revenue in the range of $24.5 million to $26.0 million for the
fourth fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2007. Gain share revenue for the fourth quarter is
expected to be in the range of $6.0 million to $6.5 million. On a GAAP basis, net income for the
fourth fiscal quarter of 2007 is projected in a range of $1.8 million to $2.4 million, or $0.06 to
$0.08 per diluted share.
In addition to using GAAP results in evaluating PDF Solutions business, management also
believes it useful to measure results using a non-GAAP measure of net income, which excludes
stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets and their related
income tax effects. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2007 is
projected in a range of $5.9 million to $6.5 million, or $0.20 to $0.22 per diluted share.
As previously announced, PDF will discuss its third quarter 2007 results and financial outlook
for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2007 on a live conference call beginning at 3:00 p.m.
Pacific Time/6:00 p.m. Eastern Time today. The call will be simultaneously be web cast on PDF
Solutions website at http://ir.pdf.com/medialist.cfm. A replay of the web cast will
~more~
be available at the same website address beginning approximately two hours after completion of
the live call. Further, a copy of this press release, including the disclosure and reconciliation
of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which non-GAAP
measures may be used periodically by PDF Solutions management when discussing financial results
with investors and analysts, will be available on the companys website at
http://www.pdf.com/news_archive.phtml following the date of this release.
Effectiveness of Guidance:
The outlook set forth above represents PDF Solutions expectations only as of the date of this
release, and should not be viewed as a statement about PDF Solutions expectations after this date.
Although this release will remain available on PDF Solutions website, its continued availability
does not indicate that PDF Solutions is reaffirming or confirming its continued validity. PDF
Solutions does not intend to report on its progress, or provide comments to analysts or investors
on, or otherwise update, such guidance until it releases its quarterly results.
Information Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
In addition to providing guidance that is determined in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP), PDF Solutions also provides certain
non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effects of stock-based compensation expense,
amortization of acquired intangible assets, the write-off of in-process research and development
and their related income tax effects. PDF Solutions management believes that the presentation of
these measures provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding PDFs operating
results. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management internally to measure the
companys profitability and performance. PDFs management believes that excluding the effects of
stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, the write-off of
in-process research and development and their income tax effects, provides a useful supplemental
measure of the companys ongoing operations in light of the fact that neither category of expense
has a current effect on the future uses of cash nor do they have use with regards to the generation
of current or future revenues. This non-GAAP guidance should not be considered an alternative to,
or a substitute for, GAAP financial information, and may be different from similarly titled
non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In particular, these non-GAAP financial measures are
not a substitute for GAAP measures of income as a measure of performance, or to cash flows from
operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity. Since management uses
these non-GAAP financial measures internally to measure profitability and performance, PDF has
included these non-GAAP measures to give investors an opportunity to see the company as viewed by
management. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable
GAAP financial measure is provided at the end of this press release.
