Ultra Clean Reports First Quarter 2019 Financial Results

May 2, 2019 4:05 PM

HAYWARD, Calif., May 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: UCTT), today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended ­­­­­­March 29, 2019.

(PRNewsfoto/Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc.)

"Solid execution of our plan resulted in a strong start to the year as we delivered revenue and non-GAAP EPS above our expectations," said Jim Scholhamer, CEO. "We continue to make strategic investments, such as our recent acquisition of Dynamic Manufacturing Solutions, which broaden our product portfolio and drive profitable growth."

UCT has elected to change its organizational and reporting structure to capture efficiencies and operating leverage as a result of the Quantum acquisition in August 2018. The Company will now report results for two operating segments: Semiconductor Products and Solutions ("SPS") and Semiconductor Services Business ("SSB"). The Company has provided a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP segment financial measures in the financial statement tables included in this press release.

First Quarter 2019 GAAP Financial Results

Consolidated revenue was $260.1 million, an increase of 1.1% compared to the prior quarter and a decrease of 17.4% over the same period a year ago. SPS contributed $200.2 million and SSB added $59.9 million. Total gross margin was 17.2% compared to 17.9% last quarter and 15.5% a year ago.

Net income was $0.6 million or $0.02 per basic and diluted share. This compares to a net loss of $1.1 million or $0.03 per basic and diluted share in the previous quarter, and net income of $24.7 million or $0.67 and $0.66 per basic and diluted share last year.

First Quarter 2019 Non-GAAP Financial Results

Non-GAAP net income was $8.1 million or $0.21 per diluted share. This compares to $8.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share in the previous quarter and $25.7 million or $0.69 for the prior year.

Non-GAAP operating margin was 6.1% compared to 6.5% in the previous quarter and 9.2% in the same period a year ago.

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

Second Quarter 2019 Outlook

The Company expects revenue in the range of $245.0 million to $265.0 million and GAAP diluted net (loss) income per share to be between ($0.02) and $0.08. The Company expects non-GAAP net income per diluted share to be in the range of $0.12 to $0.22.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Management uses non-GAAP net income and net income per diluted share 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 of non-GAAP results to U.S. GAAP results are included at the end of this press release. A reconciliation of our guidance for non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the second quarter of 2019 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.
