U.S. GAAP Financial Results
For the June 2018 quarter, revenue was $3,126 million, gross margin was $1,479 million, or 47.3% of revenue, operating expenses were $524 million, operating margin was 30.6% of revenue, and net income was $1,021 million, or $5.82 per diluted share on a U.S. GAAP basis. This compares to revenue of $2,892 million, gross margin of $1,331 million, or 46.0% of revenue, operating expenses of $503 million, operating margin of 28.6% of revenue, and net income of $779 million, or $4.33 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 25, 2018 (the “March 2018 quarter”). Net income in the June 2018 quarter was positively impacted by a $116 million reversal of the provisional charge associated with the December 2017 U.S. tax reform.
Non-GAAP Financial Results
For the June 2018 quarter, non-GAAP gross margin was $1,502 million or 48.0% of revenue, non-GAAP operating expenses were $507 million, non-GAAP operating margin was 31.8% of revenue, and non-GAAP net income was $932 million, or $5.31 per diluted share. This compares to non-GAAP gross margin of $1,353 million or 46.8% of revenue, non-GAAP operating expenses of $486 million, non-GAAP operating margin of 30.0% of revenue, and non-GAAP net income of $852 million, or $4.79 per diluted share for the March 2018 quarter.
“Lam’s June quarter results confirmed 2018 as the strongest fiscal year in our history, with over 11 billion dollars in revenues, approximately 18 dollars in non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and 2.7 billion dollars of cash generated from operations,” said Martin Anstice, Lam Research’s chief executive officer. “Essentially unsurpassed in our industry, the multi-year growth at Lam has been enabled by the increased prominence of Etch and Deposition in the semiconductor device manufacturing process flow and the broadening of our product and services portfolio over many years. Our forward-looking optimism is reinforced by the fundamental opportunity of silicon technologies, enabling a new generation of cognitive computing applications and services, combined with the expectation of sustainable investment by our customers, who in turn are pursuing inspiring and enhanced value creation agendas.”
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Results
Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted cash and investments balances decreased to $5.2 billion at the end of the June 2018 quarter compared to $6.7 billion at the end of the March 2018 quarter. This decrease was primarily the result of $1.3 billion of share repurchases, including net share settlement on employee stock-based compensation, combined with $817 million of debt reductions, partially offset by $718 million of cash generated in operating activities.
Deferred revenue at the end of the June 2018 quarter decreased to $994 million as compared to $1.1 billion at the end of the March 2018 quarter. Deferred profit at the end of the June 2018 quarter decreased to $720 million as compared to $749 million at the end of the March 2018 quarter. Lam’s deferred revenue balance does not include shipments to customers in Japan, to whom title 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 $607 million as of June 24, 2018 and $526 million as of March 25, 2018.

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 - amortization related to intangible assets acquired through business combinations, $22 million.
- Operating margin - amortization related to intangible assets acquired through business combinations, $38 million.
- Earnings per share - amortization related to intangible assets acquired through business combinations, $38 million; amortization of note discounts, $1 million; and associated tax benefit for non-GAAP items ($3) million; totaling $36 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 2018 and March 2018 quarters exclude amortization related to intangible assets acquired through business combinations, acquisition and integration costs associated with a business combination, amortization of note discounts, tax benefit of non-GAAP items, and income tax benefit on the conclusion of tax matters related to a prior business combination. Additionally, the June 2018 quarter non-GAAP results exclude estimated income tax benefit associated with U.S. tax reform and the March 2018 quarter non-GAAP results exclude realized loss on sale or impairment of investments associated with repatriation.
Management uses non-GAAP gross margin, operating expense, operating income, operating margin, 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 http://investor.lamresearch.com.
