Forward-Looking Statements

 

Statements in this report that are not strictly historical in nature are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding business momentum, demand for our products and future growth. These forward-looking statements are based on current information and expectations that are inherently subject to change and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual events or results might differ materially from those in any forward-looking statement due to various factors, including, but not limited to: the Company’s ability to execute its cost reduction plan, including reducing its GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses; the Company’s ability to improve Company-wide performance and to simplify its structure and focus on basic business; the Company incurring a greater restructuring charge in connection with its cost reduction plan than that anticipated; changes in the semiconductor market environment, including the demand for DRAM and Flash memories and SoC devices; and changes in the Company’s customers’ announced capital equipment investment plans.  Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statement is contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2009, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and subsequent SEC filings, including the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarterly period ending March 27, 2010.  Copies of the Company’s SEC filings are available at http://investors.formfactor.com/edgar.cfm.
