Ichor Holdings, Ltd. Announces Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

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 third quarter 2023 financial results.

Third quarter 2023 highlights:

• Revenues of $197 million, at the upper end of the guidance range communicated in August;
• Gross margin of 12.2% on a GAAP basis and 13.1% on a non‑GAAP basis; and
• Earnings per share of $(0.36) on a GAAP basis and $0.07 on a non-GAAP basis.

"As expected, in Q3 Ichor's revenues returned to sequential growth, and rebounded near the upper end of our guidance range with a 6% increase compared to Q2," commented Jeff Andreson, chief executive officer. "With a similar level of revenues expected again for Q4, our full year expectations are consistent with our forecasts communicated throughout the year. We continue to be focused on maintaining critical R&D investments to enable our technology roadmap, which includes developing proprietary, higher-margin new products and winning evaluation programs that will help drive revenue outperformance and strong operating leverage as our revenues rebound in the coming quarters and years."

U.S. GAAP Financial Results Overview

For the third quarter of 2023, revenue was $196.8 million, net loss was $(10.4) million, and net loss per basic and diluted share (“diluted EPS”) was $(0.36). This compares to revenue of $185.0 million and $355.6 million, net income (loss) of $(20.7) million and $29.0 million, and diluted EPS of $(0.71) and $1.00, for the second quarter of 2023 and third quarter of 2022, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Results Overview

For the third quarter of 2023, non-GAAP net income was $2.1 million and non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.07. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $0.7 million and $35.4 million, and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.02 and $1.22, for the second quarter of 2023 and third quarter of 2022, respectively.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2023, we expect revenue to be in the range of $190.0 million to $205.0 million. We expect GAAP diluted EPS to be in the range of $(0.30) to $(0.20) and non-GAAP diluted EPS to be in the range of $(0.03) to $0.17.

This outlook for non‑GAAP diluted EPS excludes amortization of intangible assets of approximately $3.2 million and share-based compensation expense of approximately $4.7 million, as well as the related income tax effects. Non-GAAP diluted EPS should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Results

We ended the third quarter of 2023 with cash and cash equivalents of $75.9 million, a decrease of $8.7 million from the prior quarter and a decrease of $10.5 million from the prior year ended December 30, 2022. The decrease of $8.7 million during the third quarter was primarily due to net payments on our credit facilities of $11.9 million and capital expenditures of $2.4 million, partially offset by net cash provided by operating activities of $4.0 million. The decrease during the nine months ended September 29, 2023 was primarily due to net payments on our credit facilities of $20.6 million and capital expenditures of $13.2 million, partially offset by net cash provided by operating activities of $20.1 million.

Our cash provided by operating activities of $20.1 million during the nine months ended September 29, 2023 consisted of net loss of $31.1 million, offset by net non-cash charges of $48.4 million, consisting primarily of depreciation and amortization of $26.0 million, share-based compensation expense of $12.7 million, and deferred income taxes of $9.4 million, and a decrease in our net operating assets and liabilities of $2.7 million. Deferred taxes consists primarily of an $11.1 million charge related to a valuation allowance recorded against our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets in the second quarter of 2023.

The decrease in our net operating assets and liabilities of $2.7 million during the nine months ended September 29, 2023 was primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable and inventories of $33.0 million and $16.8 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities of $34.8 million and $20.9 million, respectively.

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 certain 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 (loss), or net income (loss), respectively, excluding (1) amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, and discrete or infrequent charges and gains that are outside of normal business operations, including acquisition-related costs, contract and legal settlement gains and losses, facility shutdown costs, and severance costs associated with reduction-in-force programs, to the extent they are present in gross profit, operating income (loss), and net income (loss), respectively; and (2) the tax impacts associated with these non-GAAP adjustments, as well as non-recurring discrete tax items, including the impact of deferred tax asset valuation allowances. All non-GAAP adjustments are presented on a gross basis; the related income tax effects, including current and deferred income tax expense, are included in the adjustment line under the heading "Tax adjustments related to non-GAAP adjustments". 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 other discrete or infrequent charges and gains that are outside of normal business operations.

(1)		All non-GAAP adjustments are presented on a gross basis; the related income tax effects, including current and deferred income tax expense, are included in the adjustment line under the heading "Tax adjustments related to non-GAAP adjustments".
(2)		During the first and third quarters of 2022, we recorded non-recurring loss accruals of $3.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, relating to expected settlements of employment-related legal matters.
(3)		As part of the purchase price allocation of our acquisition of IMG, we recorded acquired-inventories at fair value, resulting in a fair value step-up. This amount represents the release of the step-up to cost of sales as acquired-inventories were sold.

(6)		Adjusts U.S. GAAP income tax expense for impact of our non-GAAP adjustments, which are presented on a gross basis, including the impacts of excluding share-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets. The adjustment reflects income tax benefits generated from U.S. taxable losses, on a non-GAAP basis, as we do not have a valuation allowance against our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets on a non-GAAP basis. Refer to footnote 7 below.
(7)		During the second quarter of 2023, we recorded a valuation allowance of $11.1 million against our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was recorded based on an assessment of available positive and negative evidence, including an estimate of being in a three-year cumulative loss position in the U.S. by the end of 2023, projections of future taxable income, and other quantitative and qualitative information. On a non-GAAP basis, we added back the expense associated with our recognition of a valuation allowance against our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets, because recording a valuation allowance would not have been appropriate, as we were in, and expect to remain in a three-year cumulative U.S. income position on a non-GAAP basis.
