     On April 22, 2004, PDF Solutions, Inc. (“PDF Solutions” or “PDF”) issued a press release regarding its financial results and certain other information related to the first fiscal quarter of 2004 ended March 31, 2004.

Use of Non-GAAP Information

     In addition to providing results that are determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), PDF Solutions also provides certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain charges as additional information relating to its operating results. PDF’s management believes that the presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations. PDF Solutions has also chosen to provide this information to investors to enable them to perform meaningful comparisons of its past, present and future operating results. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The calculations of non-GAAP financial measures have been adjusted to exclude the effects of amortization of stock-based compensation and intangibles.

                         PDF SOLUTIONS(R) REPORTS RECORD
                              FIRST QUARTER REVENUE

      SAN JOSE, Calif. -- April 22, 2004 -- PDF Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: PDFS)
the leading provider of process-design integration technologies to enhance IC
manufacturability, today announced financial results for its first fiscal
quarter ended March 31, 2004.

      Revenue for the first fiscal quarter of 2004 totaled a record $12.7
million, an increase of 40%, compared with revenue of $9.1 million for the first
fiscal quarter of 2003. On a GAAP basis, net loss for the first fiscal quarter
of 2004 totaled $1.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared with a net
loss of $1.3 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the first fiscal quarter
of 2003.


      In addition to using GAAP results in evaluating PDF's business, management
also believes it useful to measure results using a non-GAAP measure of net
income (loss), which excludes amortization of stock-based compensation and
acquired intangible assets. Using this non-GAAP measure, net loss for the first
fiscal quarter of 2004 totaled approximately $373,000, or $0.01 per diluted
share, compared with a non-GAAP net loss of approximately $658,000, or $0.03 per
diluted share, for the first fiscal quarter of 2003.

      As previously announced, the company will hold a live conference call
beginning at 3:00 p.m. PDT/6:00 p.m. EDT today to discuss the quarterly results.
A live webcast of this conference call will be available on the company's
website at http://ir.pdf.com/medialist.cfm. A replay of the call 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
most directly comparable GAAP measure, which non-GAAP measures may be used
periodically by the company's management when discussing financial results with
investors and analysts, will be available on the company's website at
http://www.pdf.com/news_archive.phtml following the date of this release.
