Ultra Clean Reports First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

 

HAYWARD, Calif., April 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: UCTT), today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 27, 2020.

 

“UCT’s strong performance in the first quarter resulted in record revenue, improved profitability and solid earnings,” said Jim Scholhamer, CEO. “Early recognition of the pandemic, supported by an exceptional business continuity team and a dedicated workforce, allowed us to minimize disruptions to our facilities and supply chain for both equipment and service operations. All of UCT’s facilities remain operational and we will continue to leverage our global footprint to fulfill ongoing customer demand.”

 

First Quarter 2020 GAAP Financial Results

 

Total revenue was $320.9 million. SPS contributed $259.4 million and SSB added $61.5 million. Total gross margin was 20.5%, operating margin was 7.0%, and net income was $9.4 million or $0.24 and $0.23 per basic and diluted share, respectively. This compares to total revenue of $286.4 million, gross margin of 19.7%, operating margin of 1.6%, and net loss of $10.3 million or $(0.26) per basic share in the prior quarter.

 

First Quarter 2020 Non-GAAP Financial Results

 

On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 20.9%, operating margin was 9.9%, and net income was $21.0 million or $0.52 per diluted share excluding stock-based compensation. This compares to gross margin of 20.3%, operating margin of 9.3%, and net income of $16.0 million or $0.40 per diluted share, excluding stock-based compensation, in the prior quarter.

 

Second Quarter 2020 Outlook

 

Due to limited visibility resulting from the coronavirus pandemic, the Company has widened its guidance ranges to reflect the heightened uncertainty in the marketplace. The Company expects revenue in the range of $290.0 million to $330.0 million and GAAP diluted net income per share to be between $0.24 and $0.40. The Company expects non-GAAP diluted net income per share to be between $0.40 and $0.56.

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 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, stock-based compensation and the tax effects of the foregoing adjustments.

 

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.
