U.S. GAAP Financial Results

For the December 2015 quarter, revenue was $1,426 million, gross margin was $627 million, or 43.9% of revenue, operating expenses were $388 million, operating margin was 16.8% of revenue, and net income was $223 million, or $1.28 per diluted share on a GAAP basis. This compares to revenue of $1,600 million, gross margin of $722 million, or 45.1% of revenue, operating expenses of $387 million, operating margin of 21.0% of revenue, and net income of $289 million, or $1.66 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 27, 2015 (the "September 2015 quarter").

Non-GAAP Financial Results

For the December 2015 quarter, non-GAAP gross margin was $648 million or 45.5% of revenue, non-GAAP operating expenses were $352 million, non-GAAP operating margin was 20.8% of revenue, and non-GAAP net income was $270 million, or $1.57 per diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP gross margin of $744 million or 46.5% of revenue, non-GAAP operating expenses of $364 million, non-GAAP operating margin of 23.8% of revenue, and non-GAAP net income of $313 million, or $1.82 per diluted share for the September 2015 quarter.

"Lam's strong December quarter concludes a historic year for Lam, headlined by the delivery of nearly $6 billion in shipments and revenue, and over six dollars in EPS," said Martin Anstice, Lam Research's president and chief executive officer. "Strong execution combined with our ability to capitalize on the inflection-driven market expansion continued to drive outperformance in profitable growth. We remain committed to invest proactively and broadly to create enabling value for our customers and growth for Lam. We are excited about our proposed business combination with KLA-Tencor, which upon completion will deliver a new and unmatched capability to the benefit of the global semiconductor industry."

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Results

Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted cash and investments balances increased to $4.7 billion at the end of the December 2015 quarter compared to $4.5 billion at the end of the September 2015 quarter. This increase was primarily the result of approximately $295 million in cash flows from operating activities which was partially offset by approximately $13 million of treasury stock repurchases related to net share settlement on employee stock-based compensation; approximately $28 million of capital expenditures; and approximately $48 million of dividends paid to stockholders during the December 2015 quarter.

Deferred revenue at the end of the December 2015 quarter decreased to $395 million as compared to $517 million at the end of the September 2015 quarter. Deferred profit at the end of the December 2015 quarter decreased to $261 million as compared to $325 million at the end of the September 2015 quarter. Lam's deferred revenue balance does not include shipments to Japanese customers, to whom title does not transfer until customer acceptance. Shipments to Japanese customers are classified as inventory at cost until the time of acceptance. The estimated future revenue from shipments to Japanese customers was approximately $109 million as of December 27, 2015.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results

In addition to U.S. GAAP results, this press release also contains non-GAAP financial results. The Company's non-GAAP results for both the December 2015 and September 2015 quarters exclude amortization related to intangible assets acquired in the Novellus transaction, restructuring impacts, the amortization of notes discounts, and tax expense (benefit) of non-GAAP items. Additionally, the December 2015 quarter non-GAAP results exclude costs associated with the KLA-Tencor acquisition, amortization of bridge loan issuance costs associated with the KLA-Tencor acquisition, and income tax benefit from tax extenders primarily the research and development credit; and the September 2015 quarter non-GAAP results exclude cumulative income tax benefits due to a court ruling.

Management uses non-GAAP gross margin, operating income, operating expenses, operating margin, net income, and net income per diluted share to evaluate the Company's operating and financial results. The Company believes the presentation of non-GAAP results is useful to investors for analyzing business trends and comparing performance to prior periods, along with enhancing investors' ability to view the Company's results from management's perspective. Tables presenting reconciliations of non-GAAP results to U.S. GAAP results are included at the end of this press release and on the Company's website at http://investor.lamresearch.com.
