      inTEST Reports Second Quarter 2004 Results
      Wednesday July 28, 8:02 am ET


      CHERRY HILL, N.J., July 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- inTEST Corporation (Nasdaq: INTT - News), a leading independent designer, manufacturer and marketer of semiconductor automatic test equipment (ATE) interface solutions and temperature management products, today announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2004.
      Net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 increased 34% to $22.7 million, compared to $17.0 million for the first quarter of 2004. Net income for the second quarter of 2004 was $2.5 million or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.0 million or $0.11 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2004. The Company previously provided guidance for the second quarter of 2004 that it expected revenues would be in the range of $17.5 million to $19.0 million, with pre-tax earnings in the range of $0.07 to $0.14 per diluted share.

      Robert E. Matthiessen, President and Chief Executive Officer of inTEST said, "This was a strong quarter for us as market conditions were the best we have seen in a while. In particular, we are benefiting from increased capacity utilization rates and a move towards more advanced technologies we developed during the downturn. We are also benefiting from continued capital spending at many of our customers. Bookings increased 46% to $25.2 million in the second quarter of 2004, compared to $17.3 million for the first quarter of 2004. Importantly, our backlog at the end of the second quarter was $16.2 million, up 17% from $13.9 million at the end of the first quarter of 2004."

      Hugh T. Regan, Jr., Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of inTEST said, "Operationally, we were very pleased this quarter as we continued to achieve significant improvements in our financial results. Our gross margin improved to 45.9% in the second quarter of 2004 from 42.4% in the first quarter of 2004 due to higher sales volumes and our ability to more efficiently leverage our cost structure. Overall, we continue to be confident in our business outlook and believe the current up cycle will continue into 2005. At the same time, the growth rate in our bookings and net revenues in the second quarter was significantly stronger than what we had internally forecast at the end of the first quarter. Based upon current customer forecasts and business conditions, we expect net revenues for the quarter ending September 30, 2004, to be in the range of $19.0 million to $21.0 million, with pre-tax earnings to be in the range of $0.22 to $0.28 per diluted share."

      InTEST profit tops target, shares soar
      Wednesday July 28, 2:07 pm ET


      SAN FRANCISCO, July 28 (Reuters) - InTEST Corp. (NasdaqNM:INTT - News), a maker of tools used to test semiconductors, on Wednesday posted earnings that topped forecasts, and its shares soared more than 40 percent to a two-year high.
      ADVERTISEMENT


      The Cherry Hill, New Jersey-based company reported second-quarter profit of $2.5 million, or 29 cents a share, compared with prior-year net loss of $643,000, or 8 cents per share. Revenue doubled to $22.7 million from $11.3 million.

      The company had previously forecast pre-tax earnings of 7 cents to 14 cents a share on revenue of $17.5 million to $19.0 million.

      The shares rose $2.30 to $8.00, a level unseen since April 2002. InTEST was the top percentage gainer on the Nasdaq, and among the net gain leaders.

      In an interview, InTEST executives attributed the strength to market share gains, bigger investments by chip makers in testing, and the quick growth of non-semiconductor related revenue.
