NATURE OF OPERATIONS

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

InTest Corporation (“InTest,” “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company”), a Delaware corporation headquartered in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, is a global supplier of innovative test and process technology solutions for use in manufacturing and testing across a wide range of markets including Semiconductors (“Semi”), Auto/Electric Vehicle (“EV”), Defense/Aerospace, Industrial, Life Sciences, Safety/Security and Other. We have three operating segments which are also our reportable segments and reporting units: Electronic Test, Environmental Technologies and Process Technologies.

The consolidated entity is comprised of InTest Corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. We manufacture our products in the U.S., Canada, Italy and the Netherlands. Marketing and support activities are conducted worldwide from our facilities in the U.S., Canada, Italy, Germany, Singapore, Malaysia, the Netherlands and the U.K. We operate our business worldwide and sell our products both domestically and internationally.

Founded in 1981, we completed our initial public offering in June 1997 and currently trade on the NYSE American exchange under the symbol “INTT.”

All of our operating segments have multiple products that we design, manufacture and market to our customers. Due to a number of factors, our products have varying levels of gross margin. The mix of products we sell in any period is ultimately determined by our customers’ needs. Therefore, the mix of products sold in any given period can change significantly from the prior period. In addition, we sell our products to a variety of different types of customers with varying levels of discounts and commission expense. As a result of changes in both the mix of products sold as well as customer mix in any given period, our consolidated gross margin can vary significantly from period to period.

The Semi market, which includes both the broader Semi market, as well as the more specialized automated test equipment (“ATE”) and wafer production sectors within the broader Semi market, has historically been the largest single market in which we operate. The Semi market is characterized by rapid technological change, competitive pricing pressures and cyclical as well as seasonal market patterns. The Semi market is also subject to periods of significant expansion or contraction in demand. In addition to the Semi market, we sell into a variety of other markets. Our intention is to continue diversifying our markets, our product offerings within the markets we serve and our customer base across all of our markets with the goal of reducing our dependence on any one market, product or customer. In particular, we are seeking to reduce the impact of volatility in the Semi market on our results of operations.

Our financial results are affected by a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, general economic conditions worldwide and in the markets in which we operate, economic conditions specific to the Semi market and the other markets we serve, downward pricing pressures from customers, our reliance on a relatively few number of customers for a significant portion of our sales and our ability to safeguard patented technology and intellectual property in a rapidly evolving market. In addition, we are exposed to the risk of obsolescence of our inventory depending on the mix of future business and technological changes within the markets that we serve. Part of our strategy for growth includes potential acquisitions that may cause us to incur substantial expense in reviewing and evaluating potential transactions. We may or may not be successful in locating suitable businesses to acquire and in closing acquisitions of businesses we pursue. In addition, we may not be able to successfully integrate any business we do acquire with our existing business, and we may not be able to operate the acquired business profitably. As a result of these or other factors, we may experience significant period-to-period fluctuations in future operating results.
