July 28, 2016 4:06 PM

HAYWARD, Calif., July 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: UCTT), a leading developer and supplier of critical systems and subsystems for the semiconductor capital equipment, flat panel, medical, energy and research industries, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 24, 2016.

"The second quarter saw double digit sequential revenue growth, reflecting continued strength in the semiconductor capital equipment market," said Jim Scholhamer, UCT's Chief Executive Officer. "We again made strides on our strategic initiatives as an integrated manufacturing partner through our continued investments to better meet our customers' needs. With the ongoing transition to 3D semiconductor device architectures and 10nm investments, our exposure to these high growth areas presents us with more opportunities to play an integral role with our customers."

GAAP Financial ResultsTotal revenue for the second quarter of 2016 was $129.8 million, an increase of 15.7% compared to the first quarter of 2016 and 10.4% compared to the same period a year ago. Semiconductor revenue increased 10.6% compared to the first quarter of 2016 and 6.0% compared to the same period a year ago. Total revenue from outside the U.S. in the second quarter of 2016 rose 18.9% sequentially and 52.6% compared to the same period a year ago.

Gross margin for the second quarter of 2016 was 14.7%, compared to 13.0% for the first quarter of 2016 and 16.0% for the same period a year ago.

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was $0.7 million, or $0.02 per share (basic and diluted), compared to net loss of $3.2 million, or $0.10 per share (basic and diluted), in the previous quarter and net income of $2.2 million, or $0.07 per share (basic and diluted), for the same period a year ago.

Net cash increased $2.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2016. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter of 2016 were $44.1 million, a decrease of $1.5 million compared to the first quarter of 2016. Outstanding debt was $69.9 million at the end of the second quarter of 2016, a decrease of $3.7 million compared to the first quarter of 2016.

Non-GAAP Financial ResultsNon-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2016 was $3.2 million and non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $0.10 for the second quarter of 2016. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the second quarter of 2016 exclude (i) pre-tax charges of $1.4 million for intangible assets amortization costs and $70,000 of costs related to the closure of one of the Company's U.S. facilities, offset partially by a corresponding increase in tax expense of approximately $0.4 million, and (ii) $1.4 million of income tax expense related to income tax valuation allowances. This compares to non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share of approximately breakeven for the first quarter of 2016 and non-GAAP net income of $3.2 million and non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.10 for the second quarter of 2015.

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

Third Quarter 2016 OutlookThe Company expects revenue to be between $133.0 million to $138.0 million and GAAP diluted net income per share to be approximately breakeven. The Company expects non-GAAP net income per diluted share, which excludes pre-tax charges for intangible assets amortization costs of $1.4 million and costs associated with the executive transition of $1.2 million to be in the range of $0.11 to $0.14.
