Ichor Holdings, Ltd. Announces Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ichor Holdings, Ltd. (NASDAQ: ICHR), a leader in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of critical fluid delivery subsystems and components for semiconductor capital equipment, today announced second quarter 2022 financial results.

Second quarter 2022 highlights:

• Record revenues of $330 million, at the upper end of our guidance range and up 12% from Q1;
• Gross margin of 16.8% on a GAAP basis and 17.0% on a non‑GAAP basis, up 100 bp from Q1; and
• Earnings per share of $0.74 and $0.98 on a GAAP and non‑GAAP basis, respectively.

“We are pleased to report record revenues and strong operational execution in the second quarter, with financial results at the high end of expectations,” commented Jeff Andreson, chief executive officer. “While we continue to operate in a supply-constrained environment, the availability of certain components and materials has started to improve, which enabled us to execute to the upper level of our forecast. Customer demand remains strong and continues to outpace industry supply, and we are forecasting continued sequential quarterly revenue growth in the forthcoming quarters. As expected, our gross margin bounced back in Q2, with revenue volumes now catching up with the increased labor and manufacturing capacity we’ve put into place in support of unprecedented levels of customer demand. We look forward to continuing to execute on our strategies to outgrow the overall industry and deliver strong operational leverage in what is shaping up to be a record revenue and earnings year for Ichor.”

U.S. GAAP Financial Results Overview

For the second quarter of 2022, revenue was $329.6 million, net income was $21.5 million, and net income per diluted share (“diluted EPS”) was $0.74. This compares to revenue of $293.1 million and $282.3 million, net income of $8.0 million and $22.9 million, and diluted EPS of $0.28 and $0.79, for the first quarter of 2022 and second quarter of 2021, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Results Overview

For the second quarter of 2022, non-GAAP net income was $28.3 million and non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.98. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $20.2 million and $26.3 million, and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.70 and $0.90, for the first quarter of 2022 and second quarter of 2021, respectively.

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Outlook

For the third quarter of 2022, we expect revenue to be in the range of $320 million to $360 million. We expect GAAP diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.63 to $0.89 and non-GAAP diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.85 to $1.11.

This outlook for non‑GAAP diluted EPS excludes known charges related to amortization of intangible assets, share‑based compensation expense, tax adjustments related to these non-GAAP adjustments, and non-recurring charges known at the time of providing this outlook. This outlook for non-GAAP diluted EPS excludes any items that are unknown at this time, such as non-recurring tax-related items or other unusual or infrequent items which we are not able to predict without unreasonable efforts due to their inherent uncertainty.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Results

We ended the second quarter of 2022 with cash and cash equivalents of $46.1 million, an increase of $11.5 million from the prior quarter, and a decrease of $29.4 million from our 2021 fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.

The increase during the second quarter was primarily due to net proceeds from our credit facilities of $13.1 million and cash provided by operating activities of $9.4 million, partially offset by capital expenditures of $11.0 million.

The decrease during the six months ended July 1, 2022 was primarily due to cash used in operating activities of $26.9 million and capital expenditures of $14.4 million, partially offset by net proceeds from our credit facilities of $11.3 million.

Our cash used in operating activities of $26.9 million during the six months ended July 1, 2022 consisted of an increase in our net operating assets and liabilities of $80.4 million, partially offset by net income of $29.6 million and net non-cash charges of $23.9 million, primarily consisting of depreciation and amortization of $18.4 million and share-based compensation expense of $6.4 million.

The increase in our net operating assets and liabilities during the six months ended July 1, 2022, net of acquisitions, was primarily due to an increase in inventories of $54.2 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $15.4 million, and a decrease in accounts payable of $12.5 million. The increase in our inventories is primarily driven by elevated purchasing activity pursuant to strong customer demand and certain supply chain component constraints. The decrease in accounts payable and increase in accounts receivable were primarily due to fluctuations in payment timing to suppliers and from customers, as well as higher revenues in the last few weeks of the second quarter of 2022 compared to the last few weeks of the fourth quarter of 2021.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results

In addition to U.S. GAAP results, this press release also contains non-GAAP financial results, including non‑GAAP gross profit, non‑GAAP operating income, non‑GAAP net income, non‑GAAP diluted EPS, and free cash flow. Management uses these non-GAAP metrics to evaluate our operating and financial results. We believe the presentation of non-GAAP results is useful to investors for analyzing business trends and comparing performance to prior periods, along with enhancing investors’ ability to view our results from management’s perspective. Non-GAAP gross profit, operating income, and net income are defined as: gross profit, operating income, or net income, as applicable, excluding (1) amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, and non-recurring expenses, including acquisition-related costs and charges, contract settlement losses and facility shutdown costs, to the extent they are present in gross profit, operating income, and net income; and (2) the tax impacts associated with our non-GAAP adjustments, as well as non-recurring discrete tax items. Non-GAAP diluted EPS is defined as non-GAAP net income divided by weighted average diluted ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating margin are defined as non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP operating income, respectively, divided by net sales. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by or used in operating activities, less capital expenditures. Tables showing these metrics on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, with reconciliation footnotes thereto, are included at the end of this press release.

Non-GAAP results have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP results differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, both of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP results as a tool for comparison.

Because of these limitations, you should consider non-GAAP results alongside other financial performance measures and results presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, in evaluating non-GAAP results, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses such as those that are the subject of adjustments in deriving non-GAAP results and you should not infer from our presentation of non-GAAP results that our future results will not be affected by these expenses or any unusual or non-recurring items.

(1)	During the second quarter of 2020, we announced the closure of our manufacturing facility in Union City, California, which we completed in 2021. Included in this amount for the second quarter of 2021 is a gain realized upon the sale of equipment and other fixed assets, partially offset by write-off costs associated with inventories determined during the quarter to be obsolete. Included in this amount for the six months ended June 25, 2021 are write-off costs associated with inventories determined during the period to be obsolete and severance and other shutdown related charges, partially offset by a gain realized upon the sale of equipment and other fixed assets.
(2)	As part of the purchase price allocations of our acquisitions of IMG Companies, LLC (“IMG”) in November 2021 and a precision machining operation in Mexico in December 2020, we recorded acquired-inventories at fair value, resulting in a fair value step-up of $3.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively. These amounts were subsequently released to cost of sales as acquired-inventories were sold.
(3)	Included in this amount for the six months ended June 25, 2021 is primarily a non-recurring settlement charge.
