Ultra Clean Reports Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results

PR Newswire

HAYWARD, Calif., Oct. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: UCTT), today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 27, 2019.

(PRNewsfoto/Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc.)

"UCT again delivered strong performance in the third quarter with top and bottom line results at the high end of our guided range," said Jim Scholhamer, CEO. "We continue to focus on execution while driving towards improved profitability over the longer term."

In the third quarter, the Company generated $23.0 million of cash from operations, paid down an additional $25.0 million in debt and ended the quarter with a cash balance of $158.7 million.  

Third Quarter 2019 GAAP Financial Results

Total revenue was $254.3 million, a decrease of 4.2% compared to the prior quarter and an increase of 8.6% over the same period a year ago. SPS contributed $200.0 million and SSB added $54.3 million.

Total gross margin was 18.7% compared to 18.2% last quarter and 15.0% for the same period a year ago. GAAP operating margin was 3.2% compared to 3.4% last quarter and 0.4% a year ago.

Net income was $0.5 million or $0.01 per basic and diluted share. This compares to a net loss of $0.2 million or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share in the previous quarter, and net loss of $6.0 million or ($0.15) per basic and diluted share for the same period last year.

Third Quarter 2019 Non-GAAP Financial Results

Non-GAAP gross margin was 19.2% compared to 18.8% last quarter and 15.7% for the prior year. Non-GAAP operating margin was 5.8% compared to 6.2% in the previous quarter and 6.4% in the same period a year ago.

Non-GAAP net income was $8.5 million or $0.21 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the prior quarter was $8.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted share and $11.9 million or $0.30 for the prior year. 

The Company has provided a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the financial statement tables included in this press release.

Fourth Quarter 2019 Outlook

The Company expects revenue in the range of $260.0 million to $280.0 million and GAAP diluted net income per share to be between $0.02 and $0.04. The Company expects non-GAAP diluted net income per share to be between $0.20 and $0.30. Excluding stock-based compensation, non-GAAP net income per share is expected to be between $0.26 and $0.36.

About Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc.

Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. is a leading developer and supplier of critical subsystems, ultra-high purity cleaning and analytical services primarily for the semiconductor industry. Ultra Clean offers its customers an integrated outsourced solution for major subassemblies, improved design-to-delivery cycle times, design for manufacturability, prototyping and component manufacturing, and tool chamber parts cleaning and coating, as well as micro-contamination analytical services. Ultra Clean is headquartered in Hayward, California. Additional information is available at www.uct.com.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to providing results that are determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP), management uses non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP net income to evaluate the Company's operating and financial results. We believe the presentation of non-GAAP results is useful to investors for analyzing our core business and business trends and comparing performance to prior periods, along with enhancing investors' ability to view the Company's results from management's perspective. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Tables presenting reconciliations from GAAP results to non-GAAP results are included at the end of this press release.

The Company currently defines non-GAAP net income as net income (loss) before amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, executive transition costs, acquisition costs, fair value adjustments, depreciation adjustments and the tax effects of the foregoing adjustments. In our first quarter of fiscal 2020, we will begin reporting non-GAAP net income under a new definition that excludes the foregoing adjustments, as well as the impact of stock-based compensation.

A reconciliation of our guidance for non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the following quarter is not available due to fluctuations in the geographic mix of our earnings from quarter to quarter, which impacts our tax rate and cannot be reasonably predicted or determined. As a result, such reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts and we are unable to determine the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Safe Harbor Statement

The foregoing information contains, or may be deemed to contain, "forward-looking statements" (as defined in the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. We use words such as "anticipates," "projection," "outlook," "forecast," "believes," "plan," "expect," "future," "intends," "may," "will," "estimates," "see," "predicts," and similar expressions to identify these forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements included in this press release include our expectations about the semiconductor capital equipment market and outlook. All forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, the Company's actual results may differ materially from the results predicted or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors also include, among others, those identified in "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations'' and elsewhere in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2018 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. undertakes no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise unless required by law.

9    The Company's GAAP tax expense is generally higher than the Company's non-GAAP tax expense, primarily due to losses in the U.S. with full federal and state valuation allowances. The Company's non-GAAP tax rate and resulting non-GAAP tax expense considers the tax implications as if there was no federal or state valuation allowance position in effect.

2   The Company's GAAP tax expense is generally higher than the Company's non-GAAP tax expense, primarily due to losses in the U.S. with full federal and state valuation allowances. The Company's non-GAAP tax rate and resulting non-GAAP tax expense considers the tax implications as if there was no federal or state valuation allowance position in effect.
