HAYWARD, Calif., October 25, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: UCTT), a leading developer and supplier of critical subsystems for the semiconductor capital equipment, flat panel, medical, energy and research industries, today reported its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 ended October 1, 2010.  Revenue for the third quarter was $118.5 million, an increase of 12% from the second quarter 2010 and an increase of 186.7% from the same period a year ago.  Gross margin for the third quarte r was 14.5%, compared to 14.0% for the second quarter 2010 and 7.9% for the same period a year ago. The company recorded net income of $6.7 million, or $0.29 per share, compared to net income of $5.7 million, or $0.25 per share, for the second quarter 2010 and a net loss of $1.4 million, or $(0.07) per share, for the third quarter of 2009.

Clarence Granger, Ultra Clean’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated: In the third quarter of 2010 UCT performed well, setting all-time records in revenue and earnings per share and improving our gross margins from the second quarter.  This was a very challenging quarter for us operationally and we were able to support our customers, meeting all of their requirements.  Moving ahead to the fourth quarter we anticipate a slight decline in overall demand, partially offset by continued progress in penetrating the HB-LED market”.

Commenting on Ultra Clean’s corporate guidance, Granger noted: “Revenue guidance for the fourth quarter is $110 million to $115 million, with earnings per share in the range of $0.20 to $0.24.  Our projected earnings for the quarter include one-time employment related charges of $0.4 million.  Excluding these one-time charges, adjusted earnings per share guidance for the fourth quarter is in the range of $0.22 to $0.26.”
