On a GAAP basis, net income for the third fiscal quarter of 2017 was $0.6 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, for the second fiscal quarter of 2017, and compared to net income of $2.0 million, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, for the third fiscal quarter of 2016.

Cash and cash equivalents were $100.8 million at September 30, 2017, compared to $116.8 million at December 31, 2016.

Non-GAAP net income for the third fiscal quarter of 2017 was $3.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to $2.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the second fiscal quarter of 2017, and compared to $5.4 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the third fiscal quarter of 2016. EBITDAR for the third quarter of 2017 was $5.1 million, compared to $3.7 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2017 and compared to $7.2 million for the third fiscal quarter of 2016.

Third Quarter 2017 Financial Commentary Available Online

A Management Report reviewing the Company's third quarter 2017 financial results, as well as providing updated 2017 financial outlook, will be furnished to the SEC on Form 8-K and published on the Company's website at http://ir.pdf.com/financial-reports. Analysts and investors are encouraged to review this commentary prior to participating in the conference call webcast.

Information Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to providing results that are determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP), PDF Solutions also provides certain non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP net income excludes the effects of non-recurring items (including severance payments), stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired technology and other acquired intangible assets, and their related income tax effects, as applicable, as well as adjusts for the non-cash portion of income taxes. EBITDAR is calculated by taking GAAP net income, adding back the effects of non-recurring items, stock-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired technology and other acquired intangibles, depreciation expense and income tax provision (benefit). These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management internally to measure the Company's profitability and performance. PDF Solutions' management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental measures to investors regarding the Company's ongoing operations in light of the fact that none of these categories of expense has a current effect on the future uses of cash (with the exception of certain non-recurring items) nor do they impact the generation of current or future revenues. These non-GAAP results should not be considered an alternative to, or a substitute for, GAAP financial information, and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In particular, these non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures of income or loss as a measure of performance, or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity. Since management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to measure profitability and performance, PDF Solutions has included these non-GAAP measures to give investors an opportunity to see the Company's financial results as viewed by management. A reconciliation of the comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures is provided at the end of the Company's financial statements presented below.
