Company Reports Record Revenue and EPS in its Second Quarter of Fiscal 2011

HAYWARD, Calif., July 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: UCTT), a leading developer and supplier of critical subsystems for the semiconductor capital equipment, flat panel, medical, energy and research industries, today reported its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 ended July 1, 2011.

Revenue for the second quarter was $133.7 million, an increase of 5.5% from the first quarter 2011 and an increase of 26.3% from the same period a year ago.  Semiconductor revenue was 74% of total revenue for the second quarter compared to 80% in the previous quarter and revenue outside the US accounted for 31% of the total revenue for the second quarter compared to 29% for the previous quarter. Gross margin for the second quarter was 14.2%, compared to 13.9% for the first quarter 2011 and 14.0% for the second quarter a year ago.

The company recorded net income of $7.0 million, or $0.30 per share in the second quarter compared to net income of $5.8 million, or $0.25 per share in the first quarter of 2011 and net income of $5.7 million, or $0.25 per share for the second quarter of 2010.

Cash at the end of the second quarter 2011 was $37.6 million, an increase of $2.3 million from the prior quarter.  Net liquidity was $11.4 million, an increase of $3.4 million from the prior quarter.

Clarence Granger, Ultra Clean’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated: “We are extremely pleased with our operating results for the second quarter of 2011, as we surpassed our guidance for both revenue and earnings per share.  Revenue, again, was at an all-time high and we continued to improve our operational efficiencies during the quarter as evidenced by the increase in our gross margins. We continue to drive more revenue through our Asian operations as well as increase the proportion of revenues from non-semiconductor equipment industries.”

Commenting on Ultra Clean’s corporate guidance, Granger noted: “Revenue guidance for the third quarter 2011 is $105 million to $110 million, with earnings per share in the range of $0.14 to $0.18. This projection reflects the declines in demand projected by all of our major semiconductor equipment customers for the third quarter of 2011. During the third quarter we are forecasting a tax rate of 24%.”

Ultra Clean will conduct a conference call today, Monday, July 25, 2011, beginning at 1:45 p.m. PDT at 888-561-5097 (domestic) and 706-679-7569 (international).
