FREMONT, Calif., July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lam Research Corporation (the "Company," "Lam," "Lam Research") today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 28, 2026 (the "June 2026 quarter").

Highlights for the June 2026 quarter were as follows:

U.S. GAAP Financial Results

For the June 2026 quarter, revenue was $6.72 billion, gross margin was $3.48 billion, or 51.7% of revenue, operating expenses were $965.3 million, operating margin was 37.4% of revenue, and net income was $2.28 billion, or $1.81 per diluted share on a U.S. GAAP basis. This compares to revenue of $5.84 billion, gross margin of $2.91 billion, or 49.8% of revenue, operating expenses of $863.5 million, operating margin of 35.0% of revenue, and net income of $1.83 billion, or $1.45 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 29, 2026 (the "March 2026 quarter").

Non-GAAP Financial Results

For the June 2026 quarter, non-GAAP gross margin was $3.50 billion, or 52.0% of revenue, non-GAAP operating expenses were $916.4 million, non-GAAP operating margin was 38.4% of revenue, and non-GAAP net income was $2.28 billion, or $1.82 per diluted share.

"Lam delivered record revenue, operating margin and earnings per share in the June quarter as AI-driven demand continues to reshape the semiconductor industry," said Tim Archer, Lam Research's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our strategic investments and technology leadership are helping customers accelerate through rising manufacturing complexity, positioning Lam for a third consecutive year of outperformance in 2026."

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Results

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances increased to $5.60 billion at the end of the June 2026 quarter compared to $4.77 billion at the end of the March 2026 quarter. The increase was primarily driven by cash generated from operating activities, partially offset by cash deployed for capital return activities during the quarter.

Deferred revenue at the end of the June 2026 quarter increased to $2.43 billion compared to $2.22 billion as of the end of the March 2026 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 $490.2 million as of June 28, 2026 and $434.3 million as of March 29, 2026.
