Ultra Clean Reports Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results
HAYWARD, Calif., Oct. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: UCTT), today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 25, 2020.
"Delivering another quarter of solid revenue and earnings is strong evidence of UCTT's execution capabilities as we drive towards our longer-term strategic and financial goals," said Jim Scholhamer, CEO. "Our diversified suite of quality products and services is capturing additional business from existing customers and gaining traction with new customers. Industry momentum remains steady as our end markets expand to power a new generation of semiconductor devices, giving us confidence in our ability to sustainably outperform over the long-term."
Third Quarter 2020 GAAP Financial Results
Total revenue was $363.3 million. SPS contributed $294.4 million and SSB added $68.9 million. Total gross margin was 20.5%, operating margin was 9.6%, and net income was $24.4 million or $0.60 and $0.59 per basic and diluted share. This compares to total revenue of $344.8 million, gross margin of 21.4%, operating margin of 8.9%, and net income of $21.3 million or $0.53 and $0.52 per basic and diluted share in the prior quarter.
Third Quarter 2020 Non-GAAP Financial Results
On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 21.0%, operating margin was 11.6%, and net income was $29.9 million or $0.73 per diluted share. This compares to gross margin of 22.0%, operating margin of 11.7%, and net income of $30.5 million or $0.75 per diluted share in the prior quarter.
Fourth 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 $345.0 million to $375.0 million and GAAP diluted net income per share to be between $0.44 and $0.58. The Company expects non-GAAP diluted net income per share to be between $0.63 and $0.77.

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.
