Overview

Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc., ("UCT", the "Company" or "We") is a leading
developer and supplier of critical subsystems, components and parts, and
ultra-high purity cleaning and analytical services primarily for the
semiconductor industry. UCT offers its customers an integrated outsourced
solution for major subassemblies, improved design-to-delivery cycle times,
design for manufacturability, prototyping and part and component manufacturing,
as well as tool chamber parts cleaning and coating, and micro-contamination
analytical services. We operate and report results for two operating segments:
Products and Services (formerly known as "SPS" and "SSB", respectively). Our
Products business primarily designs, engineers and manufactures production
tools, components and parts, and modules and subsystems for the semiconductor
and display capital equipment markets. Products include chemical delivery
modules, frame assemblies, gas delivery systems, fluid delivery systems,
precision robotics, process modules as well as other high-level assemblies. Our
Services business provides ultra-high purity parts cleaning, process tool part
recoating, surface encapsulation and high sensitivity micro contamination
analysis primarily for the semiconductor device makers and wafer fabrication
equipment (WFE) markets.

We sell a majority of our products and provide most of our services to U.S.
registered customers with locations both in and outside the U.S. In addition to
U.S. manufacturing and service operations, we manufacture products and provide
parts cleaning and other related services in our Asian and European facilities
to support local and U.S. based customers. We conduct our operating activities
primarily through our subsidiaries.

Over the long-term, we believe the semiconductor market we serve will continue
to grow due to multi-year industry demand from a broad range of drivers
including mobile demand driven by 5G, new CPU architectures which are enabling
higher performance servers, and cloud, AI and Machine Learning. We also believe
that semiconductor original equipment manufacturers ("OEM") are increasingly
relying on partners like UCT to fulfill their expanding capacity requirements.
Additionally, our Services division is benefiting as device manufacturers rely
on precision cleaning, coating and analytics to advance ever more complex
devices.

On March 31, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Ham-Let (Israel-Canada) Ltd.
("Ham-Let"), a public company organized under the laws of the State of Israel
(not a U.S. registrant), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Merger Agreement"), for approximately $362.9 million, which included $273.5
million of equity value plus $91.3 million of net debt offset by the settlement
of existing relationship of $1.9 million. Ham-Let engages in the development,
manufacturing and marketing of innovative control valves, fittings, and hoses
for the control and monitoring of industrial systems in a variety of markets,
including the Semiconductor market. These products are primarily used in ultra
clean gas transportation systems for the transmission of liquids and gases. The
Company's primary reason for this acquisition was to broaden UCT's relevance to
the semiconductor equipment market and to provide access to a new set of
customers in the semiconductor fab infrastructure market.

On April 13, 2021, we completed an underwritten public offering of 3,181,818
shares of our common stock, in which we received net proceeds of approximately
$167.6 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and offering
expenses. On April 29, 2021, the Underwriters exercised the option to purchase
an additional 477,272 shares of our common stock for approximately $25.2 million
in cash. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general
corporate purposes, which may include working capital, sales and marketing
activities, product development, general and administrative matters, and capital
expenditures. We may use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire complementary
businesses, products, services, or technologies, although we have no agreements,
commitments, or plans for any specific acquisitions at this time.

Critical Accounting Estimates



Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which
require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure at the date of
our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. On an on-going basis, we
evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to inventories,
income taxes, business combinations and goodwill, intangible assets and
long-lived assets. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience
and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis of our judgments about the
carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. We consider
certain accounting policies related to inventory valuation, accounting for
income taxes, business combinations, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets
and long-lived assets to be critical policies due to the estimates and judgments
involved in each.

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies,
significant judgments and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
subsequent to December 25, 2020.  For further information on our critical and
other significant accounting policies and estimates, see Part II, Item 7
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
25, 2020, as filed with the SEC.

Services revenues




Total cost of revenues increased $144.4 million and $219.9 for the three and six
months ended June 25, 2021 due to higher demand for both Products and Services
and in part by the inclusion of Ham-Let operations.



Cost of Products revenues consists of purchased materials, direct labor and
manufacturing overhead. Cost of Products revenues increased $138.6 million for
the three months ended June 25, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior
year, due to the inclusion of Ham-Let, higher volume of sales driving increased
material costs of $110.0 million (including $7.2 million of materials costs
resulting from the step-up in value of Ham-Let's inventories at the
acquisition/valuation date that were sold through during the quarter ended June
25, 2021), higher direct labor spending of $20.3 million and higher overhead
costs of $8.3 million (including $0.7 million of intangible amortization
resulting from the acquisition of Ham-Let). Cost of Products increased $207.5
million for the six months ended June 25, 2021 compared to the same period in
the prior year, due to higher volume of sales driving increased material costs
of $169.4 million, higher direct labor spending of $22.8 million and higher
overhead costs of $15.3 million.



Cost of Services revenues consists of direct labor, manufacturing overhead and
materials (such as chemicals, gases and consumables). Cost of Services revenues
increased $5.8 million in the three months ended June 25, 2021 compared to the
same period in the prior year driven by higher volumes of service orders,
resulting in an increase in labor costs of $2.1 million (the largest component
of Cost of Services), higher material costs of $0.6 million and higher overhead
costs of $3.1 million driven by higher service orders. Cost of Services
increased $12.4 million for the six months ended June 25, 2021 compared to the
same period in the prior year due to an increase in labor costs of $4.4 million,
higher material costs of $2.6 million and higher overhead costs of $5.4 million
driven by higher service orders.

Products gross margin decreased in the three and six months ended June 25, 2021,
compared to the same period in the prior year, due primarily to $7.2 million of
materials costs resulting from the step-up in value of Ham-Let's inventories at
the acquisition/valuation date that were sold through during the quarter ended
June 25, 2021 as well as $0.7 million of intangible amortization resulting from
the acquisition of Ham-Let, partially offset by higher volume and favorable mix
of higher margin products. Services gross margin decreased in the three and six
months ended June 25, 2021, compared to the same period in the prior year, due
to increases in cleaning and production materials and subcontract services to
support growth in the business.

Interest expense increased in the three and six months ended June 25, 2021, compared to the same periods in the prior year, due to a higher average debt balance offset partially by lower interest rates resulting from lower LIBOR rates.



Other income (expense), net increased $1.3 million in the three months ended
June 25, 2021, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to increases
in the fair value of the common stock purchase obligation and foreign exchange
losses of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and due to a decrease of
$0.6 million in grants income.

Other income (expense), net increased $2.9 million in the six months ended
June 25, 2021, compared to the same period in the prior year, due to an increase
of $11.6 million in the fair value of forward hedge contracts related to the
non-U.S. dollar-denominated acquisition price of Ham-Let, a $0.8 million
increase in foreign exchange losses and a decrease of $0.6 million in government
grants income. These increases were partially offset by insurance proceeds of
$7.3 million received for the reimbursement of our losses in the Cinos Korea
fire and by the absence of $3.0 million loss from the change in fair value of
contingent the earn-out in fiscal 2021.

The change in respective rates reflects, primarily, changes in the geographic
mix of worldwide earnings and financial results in jurisdictions which are taxed
at different rates and the impact of losses in jurisdictions with full federal
and state valuation allowances.

Company management continuously evaluates the need for a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets and, as of June 25, 2021, concluded that a full valuation allowance on its federal and state deferred tax assets remained appropriate.

Net increase in cash and cash equivalents              $       251.1     $        51.9

Our primary cash inflows and outflows were as follows:

• For the six months ended June 25, 2021, we generated net cash from operating

activities of $116.7 million compared to $33.2 million in the six months ended

June 26, 2020. The $83.5 million increase in net cash from operating

activities was driven by a $61.1 million increase in the net change from

operating assets and liabilities, an $11.4 million increase from non-cash

items and an $11.0 million increase in net income.

• The major contributors to the net change in operating assets and liabilities,

net of effects of acquisition, in the six months ended June 25, 2021 were as

follows:

o Accounts receivable increased $13.3 million primarily due to the increase

in revenues in fiscal 2021 and the timing of collections.

o Inventories increased $41.3 million due primarily to the customer demand

outlook in 2021.

o Accounts payable increased $80.8 million, accrued compensation and related

benefits decreased $1.1 million, income taxes payable increased $0.9

million and other liabilities increased $3.8 million, primarily due to the

timing of payments.

• In the six months ended June 25, 2021, net cash used by investing activities

was $370.5 million compared to $14.1 million in the six months ended June 26,

2020. The change is primarily due to the $355.2 million cash paid related to

the acquisition of Ham-let and by $5.7 million higher purchases of property,

plant and equipment offset by insurance proceeds of $7.3 million received in


   the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

• In the six months ended June 25, 2021, net cash provided by financing

activities was $505.2 million compared to $33.1 million in the six months

ended June 26, 2020. The change is mainly due to $355.0 million of debt added

to the existing term loan facility and $193.1 million of net proceeds from the

equity offering, offset by principal payments on bank borrowings and of debt


   issuance costs of $43.4 million and $8.9 million, respectively.




We have required capital to fund our working capital needs, satisfy our debt
obligations, maintain our equipment, purchase new capital equipment and make
strategic acquisitions from time to time. As of June 25, 2021, we had cash of
$451.4 million compared to $200.3 million as of December 25, 2020. Our cash and
cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and amounts available under
our revolving line of credit described below were our principal sources of
liquidity as of June 25, 2021.

We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents balance and operating
cash flow will be sufficient to service our indebtedness and meet our working
capital requirements and technology development projects for at least the next
twelve months. The adequacy of these resources to meet our liquidity needs
beyond that period will depend on our growth, the size and number of any
acquisitions, the state of the worldwide economy, our ability to meet our
financial covenants with our credit facility, the cyclical expansion or
contraction of the semiconductor capital equipment industry and the other
industries we serve and capital expenditures required to meet possible increased
demand for our products.

In order to expand our business or acquire additional complementary businesses
or technologies, we may need to raise additional funds through equity or debt
financings. If required, additional financing may not be available on terms that
are favorable to us, if at all. If we raise additional funds through the
issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, our stockholders' equity
interest will be diluted and these securities might have rights, preferences and
privileges senior to those of our current stockholders. We may also require the
consent of our new lenders to raise additional funds through equity or debt
financings. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be
available or that, if available, such financing can be obtained on terms
favorable to our stockholders and us.

In prior years, we determined that a portion of the current year and future year
earnings of one of our China subsidiaries may be remitted in the future to one
of our foreign subsidiaries outside of China and, accordingly, we provided for
the related withholding taxes in our Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements. As of June 25, 2021, we had undistributed earnings of foreign
subsidiaries that are indefinitely invested outside of the U.S. of approximately
$317.3 million. As of June 25, 2021, we have cash of approximately
$269.0 million in our foreign subsidiaries.

Borrowing Arrangements

The following table summarizes our borrowings:

In August 2018, we entered into a credit agreement with Barclays Bank that
provided a Term Loan, a Revolving Credit Facility, and a Letter of Credit
Facility (the "Credit Facility"). We and some of our subsidiaries have agreed to
secure all of their obligations under the Credit Facility by granting a first
priority lien in substantially all of our respective personal property assets
(subject to certain exceptions and limitations). In August 2018, we borrowed
$350.0 million under the Term Loan and used the proceeds, together with cash on
hand, to finance the acquisition of QGT and to refinance our previous credit
facilities.

On March 31, 2021, we entered into the Second Amendment (the "Second Amendment")
to the Credit Facility to, among other things, (i) refinance and reprice its
approximately $272.8 million of existing term B borrowings that will remain
outstanding (the "Repricing") and (ii) obtain a $355.0 million senior secured
incremental term loan B facility (the "Incremental Term Loan") with Barclays
Bank, which increased the amount of term loan indebtedness outstanding under the
Credit Facility.

                                     - 33 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Term Loan has a maturity date of August 27, 2025, with monthly interest
payments in arrears, quarterly principal payments of 0.625% of the outstanding
principal balance thereof as of March 31, 2021, with the remaining principal
paid upon maturity. Under the Credit Agreement, the we may elect that the term
loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to either (a) "ABR" (as defined in
the Credit Agreement), plus the applicable margin or (b) the "Eurodollar Rate"
(as defined in the Credit Agreement), based on LIBOR, plus the applicable
margin. The applicable margin for the term loans under the Credit Agreement is
equal to a rate per annum equal to either (i) at any time that our corporate
family rating is Ba3 (with a stable outlook) or higher from Moody's and BB-
(with a stable outlook) or higher from S&P, (x) 3.50% for such Eurodollar term
loans and (y) 2.50% for such ABR term loans or (ii) at all other times, (x)
3.75% for such Eurodollar term loans and (y) 2.75% for such ABR term loans.
Interest on the term loans is payable on (1) in the case of such ABR term loans
the last day of each calendar quarter and (2) in the case of such Eurodollar
term loans, the last day of each relevant interest period and, in the case of
any interest period longer than three months, on each successive date three
months after the first day of such interest period. On March 29, 2021, we
elected that the term loans outstanding as of March 31, 2021 accrue interest
based on the "Eurodollar Rate" for an initial interest period of one month. As
of March 31, 2021, the applicable margin with respect to the term loan facility
was 3.75%. Pursuant to the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement made
effective on March 31, 2021, the Credit Agreement contains customary LIBOR
replacement provisions in the event LIBOR is discontinued. At June 25, 2021, we
had an outstanding amount under the Term Loan of $598.9 million, gross of
unamortized debt issuance costs of $15.3 million. As of June 25, 2021, the
interest rate on the outstanding Term Loan was 3.84%. On December 31, 2021,
LIBOR will officially be phased out. The Company will work with its bank to
determine alternative risk-free rates.

The Revolving Credit Facility has an initial available commitment of $65.0 million and a maturity date of August 27, 2023. We pay a quarterly commitment fee in arrears equal to 0.25% of the average daily available commitment outstanding.



The Credit Agreement requires that we maintain certain financial covenants
including a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of at least 1.25 to 1.00,
and a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) as of
the last day of any fiscal quarter of no greater than 3.75 to 1.00. We were in
compliance with all covenants for the quarter ended June 25, 2021.

The Letter of Credit Facility has an initial available commitment of $50.0
million and a maturity date of August 27, 2023. We pay quarterly in arrears a
fee equal to 2.5% (subject to certain adjustments as per the Term Loans) of the
dollar equivalent of all outstanding letters of credit, and a fronting fee equal
to 0.125% of the undrawn and unexpired amount of each letter of credit. As of
June 25, 2021, we had $2.4 million of outstanding letters of credit with
beneficiaries such as landlords of certain facility leases and government
agencies making up the majority of the outstanding balance. The remaining
available commitments are $47.6 million on the Letter of Credit Facility and
$65.0 million on the Revolving Credit Facility.

In 2020, Cinos China amended its existing Credit Agreement and entered into two
additional Credit Agreements with a local bank that provide Revolving Credit
Facilities for a total available commitment of $3.5 million with various
maturity dates through September 23, 2022 and interest rates ranging from 2.0%
to 4.1%. As of June 25, 2021, Cinos China had outstanding debt of $2.7 million
with an average interest rate of 3.1% under these Credit Agreements.

Cinos Korea has a Credit Agreement that provides a Revolving Credit Facility for
a total available commitment of 0.6 billion Korean Won (approximately $0.5
million) with annual renewals beginning June 2022 with an interest rate of
2.9%. During the six months ended June 26, 2020, borrowings under the Revolving
Credit Facility were insignificant and no debt was outstanding as of June 25,
2021.

UCT Fluid Delivery Solutions s.r.o. has a credit agreement with a local bank in the Czech Republic that provides for a revolving credit facility in the aggregate of up to 6.0 million euros. As of June 25, 2021, no debt was outstanding under this revolving credit facility.



Ham-Let has credit facilities and other loan agreements with various financial
institutions. As of June 25, 2021, Ham-Let had $8.4 million of outstanding debt
with interest rates ranging from 1.8% to 4.6%.

As of June 25, 2021, our total bank debt was $594.7 million, net of unamortized
debt issuance costs of $15.3 million. As of June 25, 2021, we had unused
revolving credit facilities of $65.0 million, $9.8 million and $0.8 million in
the United States, Czech Republic and China, respectively.

The fair value of our long-term debt was based on Level 2 inputs, and fair value
was determined using quoted prices for similar liabilities in inactive markets.
The carrying value of our long-term debt approximates fair value.

Capital Expenditures



Capital expenditures were $22.8 million during the six months ended June 26,
2020 and were primarily attributable to the capital invested in our
manufacturing facilities in the United States, China and South Korea as well as
costs associated with the ongoing design and implementation of our new
enterprise resource planning system. The Company's anticipated capital
expenditures for the remainder of 2021 are expected to be financed primarily
from our cash flow generated from operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements



During the periods presented, we do not have unconsolidated entities or
financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance
or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose
of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or
limited purposes.

In conjunction with the sale of our products in the ordinary course of business,
we provide standard indemnification against certain liabilities to our
customers, which may include claims of losses by their own customers resulting
out of property damages, bodily injuries or deaths, or infringement of
intellectual property rights by our products. Our potential liability arising
out of intellectual property infringement claims by any third party is generally
uncapped. As of June 25, 2021, we have not incurred any significant costs to
defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification arrangements.
As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these arrangements is
minimal.

Contractual Obligations



Other than operating leases for certain equipment and real estate and purchase
order commitments primarily for inventory, we have no off-balance sheet
transactions or similar instruments and, other than the arrangements described
under "Borrowing Arrangements" above and our common stock purchase obligations
resulting from the acquisition of QGT, are not a guarantor of any other
entities' debt or other financial obligations. The following table summarizes
our future minimum lease payments, principal payments under debt obligations and
our purchase obligations for the purchase of inventory as of June 25, 2021:

(1) The Company leases facilities in the United States as well as internationally

under non-cancellable leases that expire on various dates through 2031. The

total balance of $101.7 million reflects estimated cash payments for all of

the Company's operating leases, however, the total operating lease

liabilities as disclosed in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are

presented on a discounted present value basis and excludes lease agreements

with commencement date after June 25, 2021, in accordance with the provisions

of ASC 842, "Leases".

(2) The total borrowing arrangements reflects obligations gross of $15.3 million

of unamortized debt issuance costs.

(3) The Company is obligated to purchase the common stock owned by one of Cinos

Korea' shareholders. On July 24, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment

with the Cinos Korea shareholder to eliminate the obligation to purchase

certain amount of the common stock owned by the shareholder. As a result,

noncontrolling interest in Cinos Korea would increase by 35.0% beginning in

the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

(4) Represents our outstanding purchase orders primarily for inventory.
