Ultra Clean Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

HAYWARD, Calif., October 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: UCTT), today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 26, 2025.

“We are very pleased with our third quarter results having achieved our highest gross margins for the year and exceeding the mid-point of our guidance on the top and bottom line,” said James Xiao, CEO. “Despite near-term volatility and reduced visibility, AI-enabled high-performance computing remains the central force behind semiconductor innovation.”

Third Quarter 2025 GAAP Financial Results

Total revenue was $510.0 million. Products contributed $445.0 million and Services added $65.0 million. Total gross margin was 16.1%, operating margin was 2.1%, and net loss was $(10.9) million or $(0.24) per diluted share. This compares to total revenue of $518.8 million, gross margin of 15.3%, operating margin of (27.3)%, and net loss of $(162.0) million or $(3.58) per diluted share, in the prior quarter.

Third Quarter 2025 Non-GAAP Financial Results

On a non-GAAP basis, gross margin was 17.0%, operating margin was 5.7%, and net income was $12.9 million or $0.28 per diluted share. This compares to gross margin of 16.3%, operating margin of 5.5%, and net income of $12.1 million or $0.27 per diluted share in the prior quarter.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Outlook

The Company expects revenue in the range of $480 million to $530 million. The Company expects GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share to be between $(0.11) and $0.09 and non-GAAP diluted net income per share to be between $0.11 and $0.31.

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. Tables presenting reconciliations from GAAP results to non-GAAP results are included at the end of this press release.

The Company defines non-GAAP net income as net income (loss) before amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, VAT settlement, acquisition activity costs, fair value adjustments, debt refinancing costs, impairment of goodwill, legal-related costs and the tax effects of the foregoing adjustments.

A reconciliation of our guidance for non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the subsequent quarter is not available due to fluctuations in the geographic mix of our earnings from quarter to quarter, which impacts our tax rate and cannot be reasonably predicted or determined. As a result, such reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts and we are unable to determine the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Safe Harbor Statement

The foregoing information contains, or may be deemed to contain, “forward-looking statements” (as defined in the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. We use words such as “anticipates,” “projection,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “believes,” “plan,” “expect,” “future,” “intends,” “may,” “will,” “estimates,” “see,” “predicts,” “should” and similar expressions to identify these forward-looking statements. 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. These risks, uncertainties and other factors also include, among others, those identified in “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. undertakes no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise unless required by law.
