Ultra Clean Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2018 Financial Results

PR Newswire

HAYWARD, Calif., Feb. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: UCTT), today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 28, 2018.

(PRNewsfoto/Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc.)

"A full quarter of revenue from our new services business, driven by our acquisition of Quantum, contributed to top line growth for the fourth quarter and delivered greater than 18 percent revenue growth for the year," said Jim Scholhamer, CEO. "We expect the overall semiconductor industry to remain challenged for the near-term so we are implementing a series of rigorous cost structure improvements. These initiatives will improve profitability without compromising our ability to react quickly by seizing opportunities with IDM's and OEM's when industry growth resumes."

Fourth Quarter 2018 GAAP Financial Results

Total revenue was $257.4 million, an increase of 10.0% compared to the third quarter and an increase of 3.4% compared to the same period a year ago.

Gross margin was 17.9% compared to 15.0% last quarter and 17.7% a year ago. Operating margin was 4.0% compared to 0.4% last quarter and 8.8% for the same period last year.

Cash and cash equivalents were $144.1 million, a decrease of $16.2 million compared to the end of the third quarter.  

Fourth Quarter Non-GAAP Financial Results

Non-GAAP net income was $8.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $11.9 million or $0.30 per diluted share in the previous quarter and non-GAAP net income of $20.3 million or $0.59 for the prior year. 

Non-GAAP operating margin was 6.5% compared to 6.4% in the previous quarter and 9.5% in the same period a year ago.

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 first 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 our first quarter 2019 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 29, 2017 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Additional information will also be set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2018.

5    Represents the loss on disposal of the Company's 3D printing operations in Singapore

6    Represents the writeoff of debt issuance costs, bank fees related to the payoff of remaining debt with East West Bank.

7    Represents costs related to the acquisition of QGT

8    Represents lease related costs due to the early exit of a facility

9    Tax effect of items (1) through (8) above based on the non-GAAP tax rate shown below

10    The Company's GAAP tax expense is generally higher than the Company's non-GAAP tax expense, primarily due to losses in the U.S. with full federal and state valuation allowances. The Company's non-GAAP tax rate and resulting non-GAAP tax expense considers the tax implications as if there was no federal or state valuation allowance position in effect.
