Ultra Clean Pre-Announces Select Preliminary Q3 2023 Financial Results

UCTT

HAYWARD, Calif., Oct. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: UCTT), today announced select preliminary third quarter financial results.

(PRNewsfoto/Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc.)

On July 27, 2023, the Company announced it expected third quarter revenue in the range of $405.0 million to $455.0 million. The Company also announced it expected GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share to be between $(0.19) and $0.04 and non-GAAP diluted net income per share to be between $0.08 and $0.28.

While the Company expects third quarter total revenue to be at or above the midpoint of the guided range, GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share is now expected to be approximately $(0.32) and non-GAAP diluted net income per share is now expected to be approximately $0.04. The shortfall can be primarily attributed to an abrupt decline in Services business volume, reduced efficiencies, and an unfavorable mix of product revenue and geographic profits impacting the income tax rate.

UCT will release its third quarter 2023 financial as previously noted on Wednesday, October 25, 2023 after market close and will host a conference call and webcast the same day.

The call will take place at 1:45 p.m. PT and can be accessed by dialing 1-844-826-3034 or 1-412-317-5179. No passcode is required. A replay of the call will be available by dialing 1-877-344-7529 or 1-412-317-0088 and entering the confirmation code 3581106.

The Webcast will be available on the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at http://uct.com/investors/events/.

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. A reconciliation from GAAP loss per diluted share to non-GAAP earnings per diluted share is included at the end of this press release.

The Company defines non-GAAP net income as net loss before amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, acquisition activity costs and the tax effects of the foregoing adjustments.

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.
