Dr. Fusen Chen, Kulicke & Soffa's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Despite the softness in demand experienced throughout the capital equipment space, we were able to generate strong gross margins, deliver shareholder returns and continue driving near-term fundamental progress, specifically new product development and qualifications."
During the December quarter the Company incurred a $7.7 million tax expense primarily related to an adjustment to the one-time transition tax associated with the Tax Cuts and Reform Act of 2017, specifically due to new guidance issued by the U.S. Department of Treasury on November 28, 2018.
First Quarter Fiscal 2019 Financial Highlights
- Net revenue of $157.2 million.
- Gross margin of 47.6%.
- Net income of $7.5 million or $0.11 per share; Non-GAAP net income of $17.0 million or $0.25 per share.
- Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were $632.4 million as of December 29, 2018.
Second Quarter Fiscal 2019 Outlook
The Company currently expects net revenue in the second fiscal quarter of 2019 ending March 30, 2019 to be approximately $110 million to $130 million.
Looking forward, Dr. Fusen Chen commented, "Despite the current soft-demand environment, which we believe is only a near-term headwind, our entire organization remains extremely focused in delivering long-term improvement and sustainable growth. Over the past two years, we have made meaningful changes to our organization that have allowed us to pursue and execute on several new growth initiatives in parallel."
The Company does not believe the softer near-term outlook reduces its ability to benefit from the long-term trends driving high-volume advanced packaging adoption, the long-term trends driving semiconductor unit and LED growth or its ability to gain market share within its after-market products and services segment.
Earnings Conference Call Details

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 exclude amortization related to intangible assets acquired through business combinations, goodwill impairment, costs associated with restructuring, income tax expense related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 as well as tax benefits or expense associated with the foregoing non-GAAP items. These non-GAAP measures are consistent with the way management analyzes and assesses the Company’s operating results. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures enhance investors’ understanding of the Company’s underlying operational performance, as well as their ability to compare the Company’s period-to-period financial results and the Company’s overall performance to that of its competitors.
Management uses both U.S. GAAP metrics as well as non-GAAP operating income, operating margin, net income, net margin and net income per diluted share to evaluate the Company's operating and financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in the Company’s industry, as other companies in the industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial results. The presentation of non-GAAP items is meant to supplement, but not substitute for, GAAP financial measures or information. The Company believes the presentation of non-GAAP results in combination with GAAP results provides better transparency to the investment community when analyzing business trends, providing meaningful comparisons with prior period performance and enhancing investors' ability to view the Company's results from management's perspective. A reconciliation of each available GAAP to non-GAAP financial measure discussed in this press release is contained in the attached exhibit.
