Lam Research Corporation Financial Highlights for
the Quarter Ended March 27, 2011 (in thousands, except per
share data and percentages) U.S. GAAP/Ongoing
Revenue: $ 809,087 Operating Margin: 24.3 %
Net Income: $ 182,240 Diluted EPS: $ 1.45
Lam Research Corporation today announced financial results for
the quarter ended March 27, 2011. Revenue for the period was
$809.1 million, gross margin was $374.0 million (46.2%),
and net income was $182.2 million, or $1.45 per diluted share,
compared to revenue of $870.7 million, gross margin of
$407.4 million (46.8%), and net income of $221.9 million,
or $1.78 per diluted share, for the December 2010 quarter.
Shipments for the March 2011 quarter were $813 million
compared to $892 million during the December 2010 quarter.
The Company’s ongoing results for the December 2010 quarter
exclude certain benefits for research and development tax credits.
There were no adjustments to U.S. GAAP results to determine
“ongoing” results for the March 2011 quarter. Management uses
ongoing operating income, ongoing operating expenses, ongoing
operating margin, ongoing net income, and ongoing net income per
diluted share to evaluate the Company’s operating and financial
results. The Company believes the presentation of ongoing results
is useful to investors for analyzing business trends and comparing
performance to prior periods, along with enhancing the investor’s
ability to view the Company’s results from management’s
perspective. A table presenting a reconciliation of ongoing net
income to results under U.S. GAAP is included at the end of this
press release and on the Company’s web site at
http://investor.lamrc.com.
Ongoing net income was $182.2 million, or $1.45 per diluted
share in the March 2011 quarter compared to ongoing net income of
$217.1 million, or $1.74 per diluted share, for the December
2010 quarter. Ongoing gross margin for the March 2011 quarter was
$374.0 million or 46.2%, compared to ongoing gross margin of
$407.4 million, or 46.8%, for the December 2010 quarter. The
sequential decrease in gross margin was primarily due to customer
mix. Ongoing operating expenses for the March 2011 quarter were
$177.0 million compared with the December 2010 quarter of
$166.3 million. This change is consistent with our plans to
increase investments in core product research and development as
well as customer-specific programs.
The geographic distribution of shipments and revenue during the
March 2011 quarter is shown in the following table:
Region Shipments Revenue North
America 23% 23% Europe 16% 18% Japan 11% 13% Korea 19% 18% Taiwan
18% 14% Asia Pacific 13% 14%
Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted
cash and investments balances were $1.4 billion at the end of
the March 2011 quarter, compared to $1.2 billion at the end of the
December 2010 quarter. Cash flows from operating activities were
approximately $241.6 million during the March 2011 quarter.
Deferred revenue and deferred profit balances at the end of the
March 2011 quarter were $246.6 million and
$150.3 million, respectively. Lam’s deferred revenue balance
does not include shipments to Japanese customers, to whom title
does not transfer until customer acceptance. Shipments to Japanese
customers are classified as inventory at cost until the time of
acceptance. The anticipated future revenue from shipments to
Japanese customers was approximately $36.2 million as of March
27, 2011.
“Lam delivered strong performance in the March quarter providing
a solid foundation for the remainder of 2011. I am particularly
pleased with our solid cash generation performance, which
represented a return of approximately 30% of revenues. Strong
demand for smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices is
expected to drive a healthy level of investment on the part of our
customers over the course of CY’11,” said Steve Newberry, chief
executive officer and vice chairman of the board.
“These investment levels create opportunities for Lam, and we
remain committed to making the strategic investments necessary to
strengthen and grow our market position in both etch and clean. We
have increased our level of customer engagement through joint
partnerships and programs designed to improve our customers’
manufacturing productivity and address their most complex technical
challenges. These customer-centric programs coupled with
investments in core product R&D enable Lam Research to be
well-positioned for growth in the coming years.”
