The company's gross margin improved to 21.4% from 20.5%, and net income surged to $21.3 million or $0.53 per share, compared to $9.4 million or $0.24 per share in Q1.

Positive
  • Record Q2 revenue of $344.8 million, a 7.2% increase from Q1.
  • GAAP net income rose to $21.3 million, reflecting strong performance.
  • Improved gross margin at 21.4%, up from 20.5%.
Negative
  • Widened guidance ranges due to pandemic uncertainty, indicating potential risks.

HAYWARD, Calif., July 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: UCTT), today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 26, 2020.

"UCT delivered record revenue and profitability in the second quarter on increased demand across all areas of our business," said Jim Scholhamer, CEO. "A recovery in wafer starts drove our Services business upwards, and ongoing momentum in the equipment market led to an increase in our Products business. I want to thank our dedicated employees worldwide for their commitment to quality and solid execution in a challenging environment. UCT's results are a powerful testament to the engagement and loyalty of our customers, demonstrating growth across the board."

Second Quarter 2020 GAAP Financial Results

Total revenue was $344.8 million. SPS contributed $277.9 million and SSB added $66.9 million. Total gross margin was 21.4%, operating margin was 8.9%, and net income was $21.3 million or $0.53 and $0.52 per basic and diluted share. This compares to total revenue of $320.9 million, gross margin of 20.5%, operating margin of 7.0%, and net income of $9.4 million or $0.24 and $0.23 per basic and diluted share in the prior quarter.

Second Quarter 2020 Non-GAAP Financial Results

On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 22.0%, operating margin was 11.7%, and net income was $30.5 million or $0.75 per diluted share. This compares to gross margin of 20.9%, operating margin of 9.9%, and net income of $21.0 million or $0.52 per diluted share in the prior quarter.

Third Quarter 2020 Outlook

Due to limited visibility resulting from the pandemic, the Company has widened its guidance ranges to reflect the heightened uncertainty in the marketplace. The Company expects revenue in the range of $320.0 million to $360.0 million and GAAP diluted net income per share to be between $0.40 and $0.56. The Company expects non-GAAP diluted net income per share to be between $0.56 and $0.72.

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.

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.

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," "should" 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 27, 2019 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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.
