Ichor Holdings, Ltd. Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2021 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 fourth quarter and fiscal year 2021 financial results.

Fiscal 2021 Highlights:

  • Record revenues of $1.1 billion;
  • Record earnings of $2.45 per share on a GAAP basis and $3.37 per share on a non-GAAP basis;
  • Gross margin of 16.2% on a GAAP basis and 16.7% on a non-GAAP basis, a year-over-year increase of 250bp on a GAAP basis and 210bp on a non-GAAP basis; and
  • Acquisition of IMG Companies, LLC (“IMG”), bringing additional precision machining capabilities and capacity, and an accretive operating model to Ichor.

“We are pleased to report record revenues and earnings for fiscal 2021,” commented Jeff Andreson, chief executive officer. “Over the course of the year, levels of customer demand increased significantly, in parallel with continual upward revisions of wafer fab equipment growth expectations. At the same time, supply chain challenges progressively increased through the year, which pressured companies in the semiconductor industry to meet these unprecedented levels of demand. In spite of the operational challenges, our team executed well in 2021, achieving record revenues and earnings, increasing gross margins, and earnings growth outpacing our revenue growth, as well as successfully completing the complementary and accretive acquisition of IMG. Looking forward, our current visibility along with our customers’ outlooks indicate continued quarter-over-quarter increases in both demand and output as we progress through 2022. We look forward to continuing to execute on our strategies for growth and operational leverage in this robust demand environment.”

U.S. GAAP Financial Results Overview

For the fourth quarter of 2021, revenue was $287.2 million, net income was $14.9 million, and net income per diluted share (“diluted EPS”) was $0.51. This compares to revenue of $262.9 million and $245.0 million, net income of $18.5 million and $12.5 million, and diluted EPS of $0.64 and $0.51, for the third quarter of 2021 and fourth quarter of 2020, respectively.

For 2021, revenue was $1,096.9 million, net income was $70.9 million, and diluted EPS was $2.45. This compares to revenue of $914.2 million, net income of $33.3 million, and diluted EPS of $1.42 for 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Results Overview

For the fourth quarter of 2021, non-GAAP net income was $26.2 million and non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.90. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $23.4 million and $19.8 million, and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.81 and $0.81, for the third quarter of 2021 and fourth quarter of 2020, respectively.

For 2021, non-GAAP net income was $97.7 million and non-GAAP diluted EPS was $3.37. This compares to non-GAAP net income of $59.0 million, and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $2.52 for 2020.

First Quarter 2022 Financial Outlook

For the first quarter of 2022, we expect revenue to be in the range of $280 million to $320 million. We expect GAAP diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.55 to $0.79 and non-GAAP diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.80 to $1.04.

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 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 fourth quarter of 2021 with cash and cash equivalents of $75.5 million, a decrease of $52.5 million from the prior quarter, and a decrease of $177.4 million from December 25, 2020.

The decrease from the end of the prior quarter was primarily due to cash paid of $269.0 million, net of acquired-cash, to acquire IMG in November 2021 and cash used in operating activities of $8.9 million, partially offset by net proceeds from our credit facilities of $129.3 million and net proceeds from marketable securities of $98.5 million.

The decrease during 2021 was primarily due to cash paid of $269.0 million, net of acquired-cash, to acquire IMG in November 2021 and capital expenditures of $20.8 million, partially offset by net proceeds from our credit facilities of $92.7 million, and cash provided by operating activities of $15.5 million.

Our cash provided by operating activities of $15.5 million during 2021 consisted of net income of $70.9 million, net non-cash charges of $37.2 million, primarily consisting of depreciation and amortization of $26.0 million and share-based compensation expense of $11.5 million, and an increase in our net operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions, of $92.6 million.

The increase in our net operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions, was primarily due to an increase in inventories of $89.2 million and an increase in accounts receivable of $33.5 million, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $38.9 million. The increase in our inventories, net of acquired inventories, is primarily driven by elevated purchasing activity pursuant to strong customer demand and certain supply chain component constraints. The increase in accounts receivable, net of acquired receivables, was primarily due to increased revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 and timing of customer payments. The increase in accounts payable, net of acquired payables, is primarily due to higher purchases during the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 and payment timing.

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 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.

During the second quarter of 2020, we announced the closure of our manufacturing facility in Union City, California, which we completed during the second quarter of 2021. We incurred additional shutdown related costs in the fourth quarter of 2021 associated with inventories determined during the quarter to be obsolete of $0.3 million.

Included in this amount for the fourth quarter of 2020 are (i) severance costs associated with affected employees of $0.1 million, and (ii) accelerated depreciation charges associated with property and equipment that was expected to be abandoned at the time of facility closure of $0.2 million.

Included in this amount for 2021 are (i) write-off costs associated with inventories determined during the period to be obsolete of $2.9 million and (ii) severance costs associated with affected employees of $0.2 million, partially offset by (iii) a gain realized upon the sale of equipment and other fixed assets of $0.5 million.

Included in this amount for 2020 are (i) write-off costs associated with inventories determined during the period to be obsolete of $1.3 million, (ii) severance costs associated with affected employees of $0.5 million, and (iii) accelerated depreciation charges associated with property and equipment that was expected to be abandoned at the time of facility closure of $0.4 million.

(2)

During the first quarter of 2020, we reached a mutual settlement with the counterparty of a contract dispute and, accordingly, recorded a $1.4 million contract settlement loss to cost of sales.

(3)

As part of our purchase price allocation for our acquisition of IMG in November 2021 and our acquisition of 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 (preliminary) and $0.2 million, respectively. These amounts are released to cost of sales as acquired-inventories are sold.

(4)

Included in this amount for 2021 is primarily a non-recurring settlement charge. Included in this amount for the 2020 is a $3.6 million loss on the sale of inventories and property and equipment from our Tampa, Florida facility. In addition to the $3.6 million loss, 2020 include costs associated with restructuring and transitioning key leadership roles.

In October 2021, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement, which includes a group of financial institutions as direct lenders underlying the agreement. Under the debt modification literature codified in ASC 470, a portion of the refinance was treated as an extinguishment. Accordingly, $0.7 million of existing capitalized deferred issuance costs were written off as a loss on extinguishment of debt.

(7)

Adjusts U.S. GAAP income tax expense (benefit) for impact of our non-GAAP adjustments, as defined, including the impacts of excluding share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, and other non-recurring expenses. This adjustment also excludes the impact of non-recurring discrete tax items.
