U.S. GAAP Financial Results

For the September 2024 quarter, revenue was $4,168 million, gross margin was $2,003 million, or 48.0% of revenue, operating expenses were $738 million, operating income was 30.3% of revenue, and net income was $1,116 million, or $0.86 per diluted share on a U.S. GAAP basis. This compares to revenue of $3,872 million, gross margin of $1,840 million, or 47.5% of revenue, operating expenses of $714 million, operating income of 29.1% of revenue, and net income of $1,020 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 (the "June 2024 quarter").

Non-GAAP Financial Results

For the September 2024 quarter, non-GAAP gross margin was $2,009 million, or 48.2% of revenue, non-GAAP operating expenses were $722 million, non-GAAP operating income was 30.9% of revenue, and non-GAAP net income was $1,122 million, or $0.86 per diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP gross margin of $1,876 million, or 48.5% of revenue, non-GAAP operating expenses of $689 million, non-GAAP operating income of 30.7% of revenue, and non-GAAP net income of $1,067 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, for the June 2024 quarter.

"With continued strong execution, Lam delivered financial performance ahead of expectations," said Tim Archer, Lam Research's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Looking forward, etch and deposition are fundamental to enabling the next generation of semiconductors. Our investments in key technology inflections position us well to outperform WFE growth in 2025 and beyond."

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Results

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances increased to $6.1 billion at the end of the September 2024 quarter compared to $5.9 billion at the end of the June 2024 quarter. The increase was primarily the result of cash generated from operating activities, partially offset by cash deployed for capital return activities and capital expenditures during the quarter.

Deferred revenue at the end of the September 2024 quarter increased to $2,047 million compared to $1,552 million as of the end of the June 2024 quarter. Lam's deferred revenue balance does not include shipments to customers in Japan, to whom control does not transfer until customer acceptance. 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 $184 million as of September 29, 2024 and $98 million as of June 30, 2024.

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, except as described below. 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, $2.8 million.

  • Operating income as a percentage of revenue - amortization related to intangible assets acquired through business combinations, $3.4 million.

  • Net income per diluted share - amortization related to intangible assets acquired though business combinations, $3.4 million; amortization of debt discounts, $0.8 million; and associated tax benefit for non-GAAP items ($0.3 million); totaling $3.9 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 September 2024 and June 2024 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 effect of non-GAAP items. The June 2024 non-GAAP results also exclude net restructuring charges, and transformational costs.

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.
