Nick Grant, President and CEO, commented, “The inTEST team continues to deliver to plan and we believe our efforts to diversify our markets have served us well. Sales grew year-over-year in the semiconductor markets, particularly in the backend with continued demand for our high quality, custom manipulators, integrated docking and electrical interface solutions for mixed-signal and analog integrated circuit production testing. There was also strong demand for our thermal test solutions for the defense/aerospace markets, our industrial grade image capture technology for the security industry, and a breadth of our solutions for other markets. Encouragingly, orders were up 2% sequentially driven by demand from our industrial, defense/aerospace, automotive/EV, security and other markets. This included new orders for our Thermonics chillers for testing, development and production of high-powered traction inverters used in EVs, as well as the growing recognition of our induction heating solutions as an environmentally preferred technology in many industrial applications.” He continued, “We are actively executing on our initiatives to expand our market presence, develop new products, and identify opportunities for increased aftermarket support. We are building the talent pool and culture to achieve our goals while also continuing to pursue acquisition targets to enhance our product offerings, expand our addressable markets and deepen our presence in our served industries.” (1) Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures.

Second Quarter 2023 Review (see revenue by market and by segments in accompanying tables) Three Months Ended ($ in 000s) Change Change 6/30/2023 6/30/2022 $ % 3/31/2023 $ % Revenue $32,558 $29,571 $2,987 10.1% $31,919 $639 2.0% Gross profit $15,030 $13,548 $1,482 10.9% $15,052 ($22) -0.1% Gross margin 46.2% 45.8% 47.2% Operating expenses (incl. intangible amort.) $11,686 $10,820 $866 8.0% $11,534 $152 1.3% Operating income $3,344 $2,728 $616 22.6% $3,518 ($174) -4.9% Operating margin 10.3% 9.2% 11.0% Net earnings $2,793 $2,116 $677 32.0% $2,817 ($24) -0.9% Net margin 8.6% 7.2% 8.8% Earnings per diluted share (“EPS”) $0.24 $0.20 $0.04 20.0% $0.25 ($0.01) -4.0% Adjusted net earnings (Non-GAAP) (2) $3,227 $2,719 $508 18.7% $3,269 ($42) -1.3% Adjusted EPS (Non-GAAP) (2) $0.28 $0.25 $0.03 12.0% $0.29 ($0.01) -3.4% Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) (2) $4,795 $4,193 $602 14.4% $4,826 ($31) -0.6% Adjusted EBITDA margin (Non-GAAP) (2) 14.7% 14.2% 15.1% (2) Adjusted net earnings, adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Further information can be found under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” See also the reconciliations of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures that accompany this press release. Compared with the prior-year period, revenue increased $3.0 million, or 10%. Revenue related to the defense/aerospace industry more than doubled to $3.9 million from higher sales of thermal test chambers and flying probe test sets. Semiconductor industry revenue of $18.8 million was up 15% from strong sales for both front-end applications of induction heating solutions for silicon carbide and epitaxy crystal growth and traditional back-end semi testing applications. Compared with the first quarter of 2023, growth in semi market revenue was primarily driven by higher front-end related sales, which increased 27%. Defense/aerospace revenue was up 37% driven by greater sales of thermal test chambers. Sales to industrial, automotive/EV, life sciences and security experienced modest declines sequentially primarily reflecting the variability in timing of customer needs from quarter to quarter. Gross margin expanded 40 basis points compared with the prior-year period. On a sequential basis, it contracted 100 basis points and was in line with guidance. Gross margin in the first quarter of 2023 benefitted from favorable product mix. Operating expenses were up $0.9 million over the prior-year period, reflecting annual merit increases and continued investments in engineering, sales and marketing. Nonetheless, second quarter operating expenses as a percent of revenue improved to 35.9% compared with 36.6% in last year’s second quarter, which we believe demonstrates continued operating leverage improvement as sales grow. This operating leverage improvement contributed to the 22.6% growth in operating income compared with last year’s second quarter. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Review Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the reported period were $37.4 million. This was an increase of $22.0 million over the trailing first quarter of 2023, reflecting $2.9 million in cash generated by operations combined with $19.2 million in net proceeds from the recently completed At-The-Market (“ATM”) equity offering. At quarter end, total debt was $14.1 million, down $1.0 million from March 31, 2023. For the first half of 2023, the Company generated $5.3 million in cash from operations assisted by improving working capital efficiencies as supply chains normalized, enabling inventory improvements. Capital expenditures were $375,000 in the 2023 second quarter, similar to last year’s second quarter. For the first six months, capital expenditures were $709,000, also in line with last year. Second Quarter 2023 Orders and Backlog (see orders by market in accompanying tables) Three Months Ended Change Change 6/30/2023 6/30/2022 $ % 3/31/2023 $ % Orders $31,431 $40,518 $(9,087) -22.4% $30,824 $607 2.0% Backlog (at quarter end) $44,578 $45,981 $(1,403) -3.1% $45,705 $(1,127) -2.5% Orders received in the second quarter were 22% lower compared with the record level achieved in the prior-year period. Increased demand from the industrial, defense/aerospace and automotive/EV markets helped to offset lower demand from the semi, life sciences, security and other markets. Orders more than doubled for the industrial markets, grew 70% in defense/aerospace, and increased 19% in automotive/EV. Sequentially, orders grew across most markets with notable strength in security, defense/aerospace, automotive/EV, industrial and other markets. Backlog at June 30, 2023, was $44.6 million, down 3.1% and 2.5% from June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2023, respectively. Approximately 45% of backlog is expected to ship beyond the third quarter of 2023. Third Quarter and Full Year 2023 Outlook Revenue for the third quarter of 2023 is expected to be similar to the second quarter with gross margin of approximately 46%. Third quarter 2023 operating expenses, including amortization, are also expected to be similar to the second quarter. Intangible asset amortization is expected to be approximately $520,000 pre-tax, which is approximately $430,000 after tax, or $0.03 per share. Interest expense is expected to be approximately $175,000 for the quarter and the effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 16% to 17% for the year. The Company should benefit from interest income due to its higher cash balance which should mostly offset the increase in weighted average shares from the recently completed ATM. Weighted average shares are expected to be about 12.4 million in the third quarter. Third quarter 2023 estimated EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.20 to $0.24, while third quarter estimated adjusted EPS (Non-GAAP)(3) is expected to be in the range of $0.23 to $0.27. For the full year of 2023, based on strong second quarter results, the Company is updating its guidance as follows: (as of August 4, 2023) Current 2023 Guidance Previous Guidance Revenue $127 million to $131 million $125 million to $130 million Gross margin ~46% ~46% to ~47% Operating expenses $46 million to $47 million $45 million to $47 million Intangible asset amort expense Unchanged ~$2.1 million Intangible asset amort exp. after tax Unchanged ~$1.7 million Effective tax rate Unchanged 16% to 17% Capital expenditures Unchanged 1% to 2% of sales Weighted average share count ~12.4 million in Q3 2023 NA The foregoing guidance is based on management’s current views with respect to operating and market conditions and customers’ forecasts. It also assumes macroeconomic conditions remain unchanged through the end of the year and does not take into account any extraordinary non-operating expenses that may occur from time to time. Actual results may differ materially from what is provided here today as a result of, among other things, the factors described under “Forward-Looking Statements” below. Further information about non-GAAP measures can be found under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the reconciliations of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures that accompany this press release. _________________________________________ (3) Third quarter 2023 estimated adjusted EPS is a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices in the United States (“GAAP”), we also disclose non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures consist of adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin. Definition of Non-GAAP Measures The Company defines these non-GAAP measures as follows: Adjusted net earnings is derived by adding acquired intangible amortization, adjusted for the related income tax expense (benefit), to net earnings. Adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS) is derived by dividing adjusted net earnings by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted EBITDA is derived by adding acquired intangible amortization, net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, and stock-based compensation expense to net earnings. Adjusted EBITDA margin is derived by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue. These results are provided as a complement to the results provided in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS) are non-GAAP financial measures presented to provide investors with meaningful, supplemental information regarding our baseline performance before acquired intangible amortization charges as management believes this expense may not be indicative of our underlying operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures presented primarily as a measure of liquidity as they exclude non-cash charges for acquired intangible amortization, depreciation and stock-based compensation. In addition, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin also exclude the impact of interest income or expense and income tax expense or benefit, as management believes these expenses may not be indicative of our underlying operating performance. Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Measures The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release are used by management to make operational decisions, to forecast future operational results, and for comparison with our business plan, historical operating results and the operating results of our peers. Reconciliations from net earnings and earnings per diluted share (EPS) to adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS) and from net earnings and net margin to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, are contained in the tables below. Limitations of adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin Each of our non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools. They should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures of earnings or cash flows. Limitations may include the cash portion of interest expense, income tax (benefit) provision, charges related to intangible asset amortization and stock-based compensation expense. These items could significantly affect our financial results. Management believes these Non-GAAP financial measures are important in evaluating our performance, results of operations, and financial position. We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement our GAAP results in order to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business. Adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are not alternatives to net earnings, earnings per diluted share or margin as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. As such, they should not be considered or relied upon as substitutes or alternatives for any such GAAP financial measure. We strongly urge you to review the reconciliations of adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin along with our financial statements included elsewhere in this press release. We also strongly urge you not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. In addition, because adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, the adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin measures as presented in this press release may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures This release includes certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including estimated adjusted earnings per diluted share (estimated adjusted EPS). We have provided these non-GAAP measures for future guidance for the same reasons that were outlined above for historical non-GAAP measures. We have reconciled non-GAAP forward-looking estimated adjusted EPS to its most directly comparable GAAP measure. The reconciliation from estimated net earnings per diluted share (EPS) to estimated adjusted EPS is contained in the table below. Key Performance Indicators In addition to the foregoing non-GAAP measures, management uses the following key performance metrics to analyze and measure the Company’s financial performance and results of operations: orders and backlog. Management uses orders and backlog as measures of current and future business and financial performance, and these may not be comparable with measures provided by other companies. Orders represent written communications received from customers requesting the Company to provide products and/or services. Backlog is calculated on the basis of firm purchase orders we receive for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Management believes tracking orders and backlog are useful as it often times is a leading indicator of future performance. In accordance with industry practice, contracts may include provisions for cancellation, termination, or suspension at the discretion of the customer. Given that each of orders and backlog are operational measures and that the Company's methodology for calculating orders and backlog does not meet the definition of a non-GAAP measure, as that term is defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, a quantitative reconciliation for each is not required or provided.

inTEST Reports Record Revenue of $32.6 Million for the 2023 Second Quarter with Net Earnings Growth of 32% Year-over-Year By: inTEST Corporation via Business Wire August 04, 2023 at 06:30 AM EDT Continued execution of 5-Point Strategy generated 10% revenue growth year-over-year achieving upper end of guidance range Demonstrated strong operating leverage with 22.6% operating income growth year-over-year to $3.3 million Delivered net earnings of $2.8 million, up 32.0% for a net margin of 8.6%, and earnings per diluted share of $0.24, up 20% over prior-year period Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)(1) was $4.8 million and adjusted EBITDA margin (Non-GAAP)(1) was 14.7% Completed $20 Million At-The-Market Offering at an Average Sales Price of $21.70 per Share Updating full year revenue guidance to $127 million to $131 million inTEST Corporation (NYSE American: INTT), a global supplier of innovative test and process technology solutions for use in manufacturing and testing in key target markets which include automotive/EV, defense/aerospace, industrial, life sciences, security, and semiconductor (“semi”), today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. Nick Grant, President and CEO, commented, “The inTEST team continues to deliver to plan and we believe our efforts to diversify our markets have served us well. Sales grew year-over-year in the semiconductor markets, particularly in the backend with continued demand for our high quality, custom manipulators, integrated docking and electrical interface solutions for mixed-signal and analog integrated circuit production testing. There was also strong demand for our thermal test solutions for the defense/aerospace markets, our industrial grade image capture technology for the security industry, and a breadth of our solutions for other markets. Encouragingly, orders were up 2% sequentially driven by demand from our industrial, defense/aerospace, automotive/EV, security and other markets. This included new orders for our Thermonics chillers for testing, development and production of high-powered traction inverters used in EVs, as well as the growing recognition of our induction heating solutions as an environmentally preferred technology in many industrial applications.” He continued, “We are actively executing on our initiatives to expand our market presence, develop new products, and identify opportunities for increased aftermarket support. We are building the talent pool and culture to achieve our goals while also continuing to pursue acquisition targets to enhance our product offerings, expand our addressable markets and deepen our presence in our served industries.” (1) Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures.

Second Quarter 2023 Review (see revenue by market and by segments in accompanying tables) Three Months Ended ($ in 000s) Change Change 6/30/2023 6/30/2022 $ % 3/31/2023 $ % Revenue $32,558 $29,571 $2,987 10.1% $31,919 $639 2.0% Gross profit $15,030 $13,548 $1,482 10.9% $15,052 ($22) -0.1% Gross margin 46.2% 45.8% 47.2% Operating expenses (incl. intangible amort.) $11,686 $10,820 $866 8.0% $11,534 $152 1.3% Operating income $3,344 $2,728 $616 22.6% $3,518 ($174) -4.9% Operating margin 10.3% 9.2% 11.0% Net earnings $2,793 $2,116 $677 32.0% $2,817 ($24) -0.9% Net margin 8.6% 7.2% 8.8% Earnings per diluted share (“EPS”) $0.24 $0.20 $0.04 20.0% $0.25 ($0.01) -4.0% Adjusted net earnings (Non-GAAP) (2) $3,227 $2,719 $508 18.7% $3,269 ($42) -1.3% Adjusted EPS (Non-GAAP) (2) $0.28 $0.25 $0.03 12.0% $0.29 ($0.01) -3.4% Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) (2) $4,795 $4,193 $602 14.4% $4,826 ($31) -0.6% Adjusted EBITDA margin (Non-GAAP) (2) 14.7% 14.2% 15.1% (2) Adjusted net earnings, adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Further information can be found under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” See also the reconciliations of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures that accompany this press release. Compared with the prior-year period, revenue increased $3.0 million, or 10%. Revenue related to the defense/aerospace industry more than doubled to $3.9 million from higher sales of thermal test chambers and flying probe test sets. Semiconductor industry revenue of $18.8 million was up 15% from strong sales for both front-end applications of induction heating solutions for silicon carbide and epitaxy crystal growth and traditional back-end semi testing applications. Compared with the first quarter of 2023, growth in semi market revenue was primarily driven by higher front-end related sales, which increased 27%. Defense/aerospace revenue was up 37% driven by greater sales of thermal test chambers. Sales to industrial, automotive/EV, life sciences and security experienced modest declines sequentially primarily reflecting the variability in timing of customer needs from quarter to quarter. Gross margin expanded 40 basis points compared with the prior-year period. On a sequential basis, it contracted 100 basis points and was in line with guidance. Gross margin in the first quarter of 2023 benefitted from favorable product mix. Operating expenses were up $0.9 million over the prior-year period, reflecting annual merit increases and continued investments in engineering, sales and marketing. Nonetheless, second quarter operating expenses as a percent of revenue improved to 35.9% compared with 36.6% in last year’s second quarter, which we believe demonstrates continued operating leverage improvement as sales grow. This operating leverage improvement contributed to the 22.6% growth in operating income compared with last year’s second quarter. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Review Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the reported period were $37.4 million. This was an increase of $22.0 million over the trailing first quarter of 2023, reflecting $2.9 million in cash generated by operations combined with $19.2 million in net proceeds from the recently completed At-The-Market (“ATM”) equity offering. At quarter end, total debt was $14.1 million, down $1.0 million from March 31, 2023. For the first half of 2023, the Company generated $5.3 million in cash from operations assisted by improving working capital efficiencies as supply chains normalized, enabling inventory improvements. Capital expenditures were $375,000 in the 2023 second quarter, similar to last year’s second quarter. For the first six months, capital expenditures were $709,000, also in line with last year. Second Quarter 2023 Orders and Backlog (see orders by market in accompanying tables) Three Months Ended Change Change 6/30/2023 6/30/2022 $ % 3/31/2023 $ % Orders $31,431 $40,518 $(9,087) -22.4% $30,824 $607 2.0% Backlog (at quarter end) $44,578 $45,981 $(1,403) -3.1% $45,705 $(1,127) -2.5% Orders received in the second quarter were 22% lower compared with the record level achieved in the prior-year period. Increased demand from the industrial, defense/aerospace and automotive/EV markets helped to offset lower demand from the semi, life sciences, security and other markets. Orders more than doubled for the industrial markets, grew 70% in defense/aerospace, and increased 19% in automotive/EV. Sequentially, orders grew across most markets with notable strength in security, defense/aerospace, automotive/EV, industrial and other markets. Backlog at June 30, 2023, was $44.6 million, down 3.1% and 2.5% from June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2023, respectively. Approximately 45% of backlog is expected to ship beyond the third quarter of 2023. Third Quarter and Full Year 2023 Outlook Revenue for the third quarter of 2023 is expected to be similar to the second quarter with gross margin of approximately 46%. Third quarter 2023 operating expenses, including amortization, are also expected to be similar to the second quarter. Intangible asset amortization is expected to be approximately $520,000 pre-tax, which is approximately $430,000 after tax, or $0.03 per share. Interest expense is expected to be approximately $175,000 for the quarter and the effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 16% to 17% for the year. The Company should benefit from interest income due to its higher cash balance which should mostly offset the increase in weighted average shares from the recently completed ATM. Weighted average shares are expected to be about 12.4 million in the third quarter. Third quarter 2023 estimated EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.20 to $0.24, while third quarter estimated adjusted EPS (Non-GAAP)(3) is expected to be in the range of $0.23 to $0.27. For the full year of 2023, based on strong second quarter results, the Company is updating its guidance as follows: (as of August 4, 2023) Current 2023 Guidance Previous Guidance Revenue $127 million to $131 million $125 million to $130 million Gross margin ~46% ~46% to ~47% Operating expenses $46 million to $47 million $45 million to $47 million Intangible asset amort expense Unchanged ~$2.1 million Intangible asset amort exp. after tax Unchanged ~$1.7 million Effective tax rate Unchanged 16% to 17% Capital expenditures Unchanged 1% to 2% of sales Weighted average share count ~12.4 million in Q3 2023 NA The foregoing guidance is based on management’s current views with respect to operating and market conditions and customers’ forecasts. It also assumes macroeconomic conditions remain unchanged through the end of the year and does not take into account any extraordinary non-operating expenses that may occur from time to time. Actual results may differ materially from what is provided here today as a result of, among other things, the factors described under “Forward-Looking Statements” below. Further information about non-GAAP measures can be found under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the reconciliations of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures that accompany this press release. _________________________________________ (3) Third quarter 2023 estimated adjusted EPS is a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure. Further information can be found under “Forward-looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” See also the reconciliations of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures that accompany this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices in the United States (“GAAP”), we also disclose non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures consist of adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin. Definition of Non-GAAP Measures The Company defines these non-GAAP measures as follows: Adjusted net earnings is derived by adding acquired intangible amortization, adjusted for the related income tax expense (benefit), to net earnings. Adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS) is derived by dividing adjusted net earnings by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted EBITDA is derived by adding acquired intangible amortization, net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, and stock-based compensation expense to net earnings. Adjusted EBITDA margin is derived by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue. These results are provided as a complement to the results provided in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS) are non-GAAP financial measures presented to provide investors with meaningful, supplemental information regarding our baseline performance before acquired intangible amortization charges as management believes this expense may not be indicative of our underlying operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures presented primarily as a measure of liquidity as they exclude non-cash charges for acquired intangible amortization, depreciation and stock-based compensation. In addition, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin also exclude the impact of interest income or expense and income tax expense or benefit, as management believes these expenses may not be indicative of our underlying operating performance. Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Measures The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release are used by management to make operational decisions, to forecast future operational results, and for comparison with our business plan, historical operating results and the operating results of our peers. Reconciliations from net earnings and earnings per diluted share (EPS) to adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS) and from net earnings and net margin to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, are contained in the tables below. Limitations of adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin Each of our non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools. They should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures of earnings or cash flows. Limitations may include the cash portion of interest expense, income tax (benefit) provision, charges related to intangible asset amortization and stock-based compensation expense. These items could significantly affect our financial results. Management believes these Non-GAAP financial measures are important in evaluating our performance, results of operations, and financial position. We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement our GAAP results in order to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business. Adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are not alternatives to net earnings, earnings per diluted share or margin as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. As such, they should not be considered or relied upon as substitutes or alternatives for any such GAAP financial measure. We strongly urge you to review the reconciliations of adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin along with our financial statements included elsewhere in this press release. We also strongly urge you not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. In addition, because adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, the adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin measures as presented in this press release may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures This release includes certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including estimated adjusted earnings per diluted share (estimated adjusted EPS). We have provided these non-GAAP measures for future guidance for the same reasons that were outlined above for historical non-GAAP measures. We have reconciled non-GAAP forward-looking estimated adjusted EPS to its most directly comparable GAAP measure. The reconciliation from estimated net earnings per diluted share (EPS) to estimated adjusted EPS is contained in the table below. Key Performance Indicators In addition to the foregoing non-GAAP measures, management uses the following key performance metrics to analyze and measure the Company’s financial performance and results of operations: orders and backlog. Management uses orders and backlog as measures of current and future business and financial performance, and these may not be comparable with measures provided by other companies. Orders represent written communications received from customers requesting the Company to provide products and/or services. Backlog is calculated on the basis of firm purchase orders we receive for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Management believes tracking orders and backlog are useful as it often times is a leading indicator of future performance. In accordance with industry practice, contracts may include provisions for cancellation, termination, or suspension at the discretion of the customer. Given that each of orders and backlog are operational measures and that the Company's methodology for calculating orders and backlog does not meet the definition of a non-GAAP measure, as that term is defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, a quantitative reconciliation for each is not required or provided. Forward-Looking Statements This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These statements do not convey historical information but relate to predicted or potential future events and financial results, such as statements of the Company’s plans, strategies and intentions, or our future performance or goals, that are based upon management's current expectations.

inTEST Corporation (NYSE American: INTT), a global supplier of innovative test and process technology solutions for use in manufacturing and testing in key target markets which include automotive/EV, defense/aerospace, industrial, life sciences, security, and semiconductor (“semi”), today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. Nick Grant, President and CEO, commented, “The inTEST team continues to deliver to plan and we believe our efforts to diversify our markets have served us well. Sales grew year-over-year in the semiconductor markets, particularly in the backend with continued demand for our high quality, custom manipulators, integrated docking and electrical interface solutions for mixed-signal and analog integrated circuit production testing. There was also strong demand for our thermal test solutions for the defense/aerospace markets, our industrial grade image capture technology for the security industry, and a breadth of our solutions for other markets. Encouragingly, orders were up 2% sequentially driven by demand from our industrial, defense/aerospace, automotive/EV, security and other markets. This included new orders for our Thermonics chillers for testing, development and production of high-powered traction inverters used in EVs, as well as the growing recognition of our induction heating solutions as an environmentally preferred technology in many industrial applications.” He continued, “We are actively executing on our initiatives to expand our market presence, develop new products, and identify opportunities for increased aftermarket support. We are building the talent pool and culture to achieve our goals while also continuing to pursue acquisition targets to enhance our product offerings, expand our addressable markets and deepen our presence in our served industries.” (1) Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures.

Further information can be found under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” See also the reconciliations of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures that accompany this press release. Compared with the prior-year period, revenue increased $3.0 million, or 10%. Revenue related to the defense/aerospace industry more than doubled to $3.9 million from higher sales of thermal test chambers and flying probe test sets. Semiconductor industry revenue of $18.8 million was up 15% from strong sales for both front-end applications of induction heating solutions for silicon carbide and epitaxy crystal growth and traditional back-end semi testing applications. Compared with the first quarter of 2023, growth in semi market revenue was primarily driven by higher front-end related sales, which increased 27%. Defense/aerospace revenue was up 37% driven by greater sales of thermal test chambers. Sales to industrial, automotive/EV, life sciences and security experienced modest declines sequentially primarily reflecting the variability in timing of customer needs from quarter to quarter. Gross margin expanded 40 basis points compared with the prior-year period. On a sequential basis, it contracted 100 basis points and was in line with guidance. Gross margin in the first quarter of 2023 benefitted from favorable product mix. Operating expenses were up $0.9 million over the prior-year period, reflecting annual merit increases and continued investments in engineering, sales and marketing. Nonetheless, second quarter operating expenses as a percent of revenue improved to 35.9% compared with 36.6% in last year’s second quarter, which we believe demonstrates continued operating leverage improvement as sales grow. This operating leverage improvement contributed to the 22.6% growth in operating income compared with last year’s second quarter. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Review Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the reported period were $37.4 million. This was an increase of $22.0 million over the trailing first quarter of 2023, reflecting $2.9 million in cash generated by operations combined with $19.2 million in net proceeds from the recently completed At-The-Market (“ATM”) equity offering. At quarter end, total debt was $14.1 million, down $1.0 million from March 31, 2023. For the first half of 2023, the Company generated $5.3 million in cash from operations assisted by improving working capital efficiencies as supply chains normalized, enabling inventory improvements. Capital expenditures were $375,000 in the 2023 second quarter, similar to last year’s second quarter. For the first six months, capital expenditures were $709,000, also in line with last year. Second Quarter 2023 Orders and Backlog (see orders by market in accompanying tables) Three Months Ended Change Change 6/30/2023 6/30/2022 $ % 3/31/2023 $ % Orders $31,431 $40,518 $(9,087) -22.4% $30,824 $607 2.0% Backlog (at quarter end) $44,578 $45,981 $(1,403) -3.1% $45,705 $(1,127) -2.5% Orders received in the second quarter were 22% lower compared with the record level achieved in the prior-year period. Increased demand from the industrial, defense/aerospace and automotive/EV markets helped to offset lower demand from the semi, life sciences, security and other markets. Orders more than doubled for the industrial markets, grew 70% in defense/aerospace, and increased 19% in automotive/EV. Sequentially, orders grew across most markets with notable strength in security, defense/aerospace, automotive/EV, industrial and other markets. Backlog at June 30, 2023, was $44.6 million, down 3.1% and 2.5% from June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2023, respectively. Approximately 45% of backlog is expected to ship beyond the third quarter of 2023. Third Quarter and Full Year 2023 Outlook Revenue for the third quarter of 2023 is expected to be similar to the second quarter with gross margin of approximately 46%. Third quarter 2023 operating expenses, including amortization, are also expected to be similar to the second quarter. Intangible asset amortization is expected to be approximately $520,000 pre-tax, which is approximately $430,000 after tax, or $0.03 per share. Interest expense is expected to be approximately $175,000 for the quarter and the effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 16% to 17% for the year. The Company should benefit from interest income due to its higher cash balance which should mostly offset the increase in weighted average shares from the recently completed ATM. Weighted average shares are expected to be about 12.4 million in the third quarter. Third quarter 2023 estimated EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.20 to $0.24, while third quarter estimated adjusted EPS (Non-GAAP)(3) is expected to be in the range of $0.23 to $0.27. For the full year of 2023, based on strong second quarter results, the Company is updating its guidance as follows: (as of August 4, 2023) Current 2023 Guidance Previous Guidance Revenue $127 million to $131 million $125 million to $130 million Gross margin ~46% ~46% to ~47% Operating expenses $46 million to $47 million $45 million to $47 million Intangible asset amort expense Unchanged ~$2.1 million Intangible asset amort exp. after tax Unchanged ~$1.7 million Effective tax rate Unchanged 16% to 17% Capital expenditures Unchanged 1% to 2% of sales Weighted average share count ~12.4 million in Q3 2023 NA The foregoing guidance is based on management’s current views with respect to operating and market conditions and customers’ forecasts. It also assumes macroeconomic conditions remain unchanged through the end of the year and does not take into account any extraordinary non-operating expenses that may occur from time to time. Actual results may differ materially from what is provided here today as a result of, among other things, the factors described under “Forward-Looking Statements” below. Further information about non-GAAP measures can be found under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the reconciliations of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures that accompany this press release. _________________________________________ (3) Third quarter 2023 estimated adjusted EPS is a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices in the United States (“GAAP”), we also disclose non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures consist of adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin. Definition of Non-GAAP Measures The Company defines these non-GAAP measures as follows: Adjusted net earnings is derived by adding acquired intangible amortization, adjusted for the related income tax expense (benefit), to net earnings. Adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS) is derived by dividing adjusted net earnings by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted EBITDA is derived by adding acquired intangible amortization, net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, and stock-based compensation expense to net earnings. Adjusted EBITDA margin is derived by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue. These results are provided as a complement to the results provided in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS) are non-GAAP financial measures presented to provide investors with meaningful, supplemental information regarding our baseline performance before acquired intangible amortization charges as management believes this expense may not be indicative of our underlying operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures presented primarily as a measure of liquidity as they exclude non-cash charges for acquired intangible amortization, depreciation and stock-based compensation. In addition, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin also exclude the impact of interest income or expense and income tax expense or benefit, as management believes these expenses may not be indicative of our underlying operating performance. Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Measures The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release are used by management to make operational decisions, to forecast future operational results, and for comparison with our business plan, historical operating results and the operating results of our peers. Reconciliations from net earnings and earnings per diluted share (EPS) to adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS) and from net earnings and net margin to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, are contained in the tables below. Limitations of adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin Each of our non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools. They should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures of earnings or cash flows. Limitations may include the cash portion of interest expense, income tax (benefit) provision, charges related to intangible asset amortization and stock-based compensation expense. These items could significantly affect our financial results. Management believes these Non-GAAP financial measures are important in evaluating our performance, results of operations, and financial position. We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement our GAAP results in order to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business. Adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are not alternatives to net earnings, earnings per diluted share or margin as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. As such, they should not be considered or relied upon as substitutes or alternatives for any such GAAP financial measure. We strongly urge you to review the reconciliations of adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin along with our financial statements included elsewhere in this press release. We also strongly urge you not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. In addition, because adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, the adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin measures as presented in this press release may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures This release includes certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including estimated adjusted earnings per diluted share (estimated adjusted EPS). We have provided these non-GAAP measures for future guidance for the same reasons that were outlined above for historical non-GAAP measures. We have reconciled non-GAAP forward-looking estimated adjusted EPS to its most directly comparable GAAP measure. The reconciliation from estimated net earnings per diluted share (EPS) to estimated adjusted EPS is contained in the table below. Key Performance Indicators In addition to the foregoing non-GAAP measures, management uses the following key performance metrics to analyze and measure the Company’s financial performance and results of operations: orders and backlog. Management uses orders and backlog as measures of current and future business and financial performance, and these may not be comparable with measures provided by other companies. Orders represent written communications received from customers requesting the Company to provide products and/or services. Backlog is calculated on the basis of firm purchase orders we receive for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Management believes tracking orders and backlog are useful as it often times is a leading indicator of future performance. In accordance with industry practice, contracts may include provisions for cancellation, termination, or suspension at the discretion of the customer. Given that each of orders and backlog are operational measures and that the Company's methodology for calculating orders and backlog does not meet the definition of a non-GAAP measure, as that term is defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, a quantitative reconciliation for each is not required or provided. Forward-Looking Statements This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These statements do not convey historical information but relate to predicted or potential future events and financial results, such as statements of the Company’s plans, strategies and intentions, or our future performance or goals, that are based upon management's current expectations. These forward-looking statements can often be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “continue,” “believe,” “could,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “potential,” “forecasts,” “outlook,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “estimates,” or similar terminology. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements.
