Customer concentration
A small number of customers account for a significant portion of revenue, so order timing or loss of one account can move results materially.
- Scope
- One customer represented 22.9% of fiscal 2025 revenue.

Revenue is globally distributed but concentrated in Asia, with South Korea and Taiwan together representing the...
- •South Korea and Taiwan are the largest revenue markets
- •United States is a major market but below Asia in mix
- •China exposure is meaningful and affected by trade restrictions
- •Japan, Singapore, Europe, and Malaysia add diversification
- •Revenue is booked by ship-to location, not customer domicile
- •Sales and support staff are placed near semiconductor clusters
FormFactor is focused on maintaining leadership in probe cards while broadening its test-and-measurement platform...
01
Expand manufacturing capacity and flexibilityshort-term
Probe card demand and customer ramps require reliable supply and fit-for-purpose production assets.
02
Broaden technology breadth beyond probe cardsmedium-term
Diversification reduces dependence on one product line and opens more lifecycle touchpoints.
03
Deepen customer and ecosystem relationshipsmedium-term
Close technical support and roadmap alignment help secure design wins and repeat orders.
04
Use acquisitions and investments to add capabilitylong-term
M&A and strategic investments can accelerate access to adjacent technologies and markets.
The business is exposed to customer concentration, since a small number of semiconductor manufacturers account for a...
Dependence on probe cards
Probe cards represent the substantial majority of revenue, so weakness in this product line would disproportionately affect the company.
