Non-GAAP Financial Results

For the June 2022 quarter, non-GAAP gross margin was $2,094 million, or 45.2% of revenue, non-GAAP operating expenses were $635 million, non-GAAP operating income was 31.5% of revenue, and non-GAAP net income was $1,221 million, or $8.83 per diluted share.

“Lam delivered record levels of revenue and earnings per share in the June quarter, while continuing to operate in a supply-constrained environment,” said Tim Archer, Lam Research’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “With solid operational execution, technology leadership, and a robust installed base business, Lam is well-positioned for long-term growth.”

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Results

Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted cash and investments balances decreased to $3.9 billion at the end of the June 2022 quarter compared to $4.6 billion the end of the March 2022 quarter. This decrease was primarily the result of $876.1 million of share repurchases, including net share settlement of employee stock-based compensation; $208.1 million of dividends paid to stockholders; and $125.7 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by $443.9 million of cash generated by operating activities.

Deferred revenue at the end of the June 2022 quarter increased to $2,198 million compared to $2,069 million as of the end of the March 2022 quarter. Lam's deferred revenue balance does not include shipments to customers in Japan, to whom title does not transfer until customer acceptances. Shipments to customers in Japan are classified as inventory at cost until the time of acceptance. The estimated future revenue from shipments to customers in Japan was approximately $367 million as of June 26, 2022 and $263 million as of March 27, 2022.

The information provided above is only an estimate of what the Company believes is realizable as of the date of this release and does not incorporate the potential impact of any business combinations, asset acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring, balance sheet valuation adjustments, financing arrangements, other investments, or other significant arrangements that may be completed or realized after the date of this release. U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP reconciling items provided include only those items that are known and can be estimated as of the date of this release. Actual results will vary from this model and the variations may be material. Reconciling items included above are as follows:

  • Gross margin as a percentage of revenue - amortization related to intangible assets acquired through business combinations, $1 million.
  • Operating income as a percentage of revenue - amortization related to intangible assets acquired through business combinations, $3 million.
  • Net income per diluted share - amortization related to intangible assets acquired though business combinations, $3 million; amortization of note discounts, $1 million; and associated tax benefit for non-GAAP items ($1 million); totaling $3 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results

In addition to U.S. GAAP results, this press release also contains non-GAAP financial results. The Company’s non-GAAP results for both the June 2022 and March 2022 quarters exclude amortization related to intangible assets acquired through business combinations, the effects of elective deferred compensation-related assets and liabilities, amortization of note discounts, and the net income tax benefit of non-GAAP items.

Management uses non-GAAP gross margin, operating expense, operating income, operating income as a percentage of revenue, net income, and net income per diluted share to evaluate the Company’s operating and financial results. The Company believes 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 the Company’s results from management’s perspective. Tables presenting reconciliations of non-GAAP results to U.S. GAAP results are included at the end of this press release and on the Company’s website at https://investor.lamresearch.com.
