Ichor Holdings, Ltd. Announces First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
FREMONT, Calif., May 5, 2025–Ichor Holdings, Ltd. (NASDAQ: ICHR), a leader in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of critical fluid delivery subsystems and components for semiconductor capital equipment, today announced first quarter 2025 financial results.
First quarter 2025 highlights:
•Revenues of $244.5 million;
•Gross margin of 11.7% on a GAAP basis and 12.4% on a non‑GAAP basis; and
•Earnings (loss) per share of $(0.13) on a GAAP basis and $0.12 on a non-GAAP basis.
“The overall spending environment for semiconductor wafer fab equipment continues to be quite healthy as we enter 2025, with demand signals remaining relatively consistent across our primary served markets,” commented Jeff Andreson, Ichor’s CEO. “That said, the policy uncertainty playing out in Washington is beginning to challenge the clarity of demand visibility through the year, leading us to take a more conservative view for the second quarter. As we step back and view the year as a whole, at this time we anticipate revenue volumes will be reasonably balanced between the first half and second half – indicating Ichor’s revenue growth profile continues to exceed expectations for overall industry growth in 2025. Within that revenue profile, we expect to drive meaningful gross margin improvement as we progress through 2025, as we mature the processes integrating our internal component supply into our high-volume gas panel manufacturing operations.”

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Outlook
For the second quarter of 2025, we expect the following:
Low-EndMid-PointHigh-End
Revenue$225 million$235 million$245 million
GAAP diluted EPS$(0.06)$(0.01)$0.04
Non-GAAP diluted EPS$0.10$0.16$0.22
This outlook for non‑GAAP diluted EPS excludes amortization of intangible assets of approximately $2.1 million and share-based compensation expense of approximately $4.8 million, as well as the related income tax effects. Non-GAAP diluted EPS should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Results
We ended the first quarter of 2025 with cash and cash equivalents of $109.3 million, an increase of $0.6 million from the prior year ended December 27, 2024. The increase was primarily due to net cash provided by operating activities of $19.0 million and net cash received from share-based compensation of $2.0 million, partially offset by capital expenditures of $18.5 million and net payments on our credit facilities of $1.9 million.
Our cash provided by operating activities of $19.0 million for the first quarter of 2025 consisted of net non-cash charges of $12.5 million, consisting primarily of depreciation and amortization of $8.1 million and share-based compensation expense of $4.1 million, and a decrease in our net operating assets and liabilities of $11.0 million, partially offset by net loss of $4.6 million.
The decrease in our net operating assets and liabilities of $11.0 million during the first quarter of 2025 was primarily due to an increase in accounts payable of $14.3 million and a decrease in accounts receivable of $6.8 million, partially offset by an increase in inventories of $13.4 million.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results
In addition to U.S. GAAP ("GAAP") results, this press release also contains non-GAAP financial results, including non‑GAAP gross profit, non‑GAAP operating income, non‑GAAP net income (loss), non‑GAAP diluted EPS, and free cash flow. Management uses non-GAAP metrics to evaluate our operating and financial results. We believe 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 our results from management’s perspective. Non-GAAP gross profit, operating income, and net income are defined as: gross profit, operating income (loss), or net income (loss), respectively, excluding (1) amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, and discrete or infrequent charges and gains that are outside of normal business operations, including transaction-related costs, contract and legal settlement gains and losses, facility shutdown costs, and severance costs associated with reduction-in-force programs, to the extent they are present in gross profit, operating income (loss), and net income (loss), respectively; and (2) the tax impacts associated with these non-GAAP adjustments, as well as non-recurring discrete tax items, including the impact of deferred tax asset valuation allowances. All non-GAAP adjustments are presented on a gross basis; the related income tax effects, including current and deferred income tax expense, are included in the adjustment line under the heading "Tax adjustments related to non-GAAP adjustments." Non-GAAP diluted EPS is defined as non-GAAP net income divided by weighted average diluted ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating margin are defined as non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP operating income, respectively, divided by net sales. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by or used in operating activities, less capital expenditures. Tables showing these metrics on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, with reconciliation footnotes thereto, are included at the end of this press release.

Non-GAAP results have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP results differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, both of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP results as a tool for comparison.
Because of these limitations, you should consider non-GAAP results alongside other financial performance measures and results presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, in evaluating non-GAAP results, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses such as those that are the subject of adjustments in deriving non-GAAP results, and you should not infer from our presentation of non-GAAP results that our future results will not be affected by these expenses or other discrete or infrequent charges and gains that are outside of normal business operations.
