    Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Results

    Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted cash and investments balances remained flat at $5.6 billion at the end of the June 2023 quarter compared to the end of the March 2023 quarter. Cash generated from operating activities totaling $1.1 billion was offset by $869.0 million of share repurchases, including net share settlement of employee stock-based compensation; $232.3 million of dividends paid to stockholders; and $78.7 million of capital expenditures.

    Deferred revenue at the end of the June 2023 quarter decreased to $1,838 million compared to $2,003 million as of the end of the March 2023 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 $160 million as of June 25, 2023 and $212 million as of March 26, 2023.

    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 - restructuring charges, $14 million; transformational costs, $4 million; and amortization related to intangible assets acquired through business combinations, $3 million; totaling $21 million.

  • Operating income as a percentage of revenue - transformational costs, $15 million; restructuring charges, $14 million; and amortization related to intangible assets acquired through business combinations, $4 million; totaling $33 million.

  • Net income per diluted share - transformational costs, $15 million; restructuring charges, $14 million; amortization related to intangible assets acquired though business combinations, $4 million; amortization of debt discounts, $1 million; and associated tax benefit for non-GAAP items ($4 million); totaling $30 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 2023 and March 2023 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, net restructuring charges, product rationalization charges, and transformational costs, and the net income tax effect of non-GAAP items. Additionally, the non-GAAP results for the June 2023 quarter exclude the income tax benefit on conclusion of certain tax matters related to a prior business combination.

    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.
