HAYWARD, Calif., Oct. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: UCTT), today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 24, 2021.

"UCT's third quarter performance and fourth quarter outlook demonstrate strong execution in a demanding environment across our end markets," said Jim Scholhamer, CEO. "UCT's operational and supply chain flexibility has proven to be advantageous in meeting customer demand. Ongoing, targeted investments in our business will expand our global capacity and position us well for sustainable growth."

Third Quarter 2021 GAAP Financial Results

Total gross margin was 20.6%, operating margin was 9.1%, and net income was $31.9 million or $0.71 and $0.70 per basic and diluted share. This compares to total revenue of $515.2 million, gross margin of 19.4%, operating margin of 6.2%, and net income of $17.1 million or $0.39 per basic and diluted share in the prior quarter.

Third Quarter 2021 Non-GAAP Financial Results

On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 21.6%, operating margin was 12.4%, and net income was $48.8 million or $1.07 per diluted share. This compares to gross margin of 21.2%, operating margin of 11.7%, and net income of $43.7 million or $0.99 per diluted share in the prior quarter.

Additional information is available at www.uct.com.

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, certain insurance proceeds, gain on sale of property and the tax effects of the foregoing adjustments.

A reconciliation of our guidance for non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the subsequent 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. 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 25, 2020 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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.
