KLA Corporation Announces Launch of Frontline Cloud Services, a Software Solution
2022-04-07 09:00:00
KLA Corporation announced the launch of Frontline Cloud Services, a software solution that accelerates design-for-manufacturability (DFM) analysis and time-to-market (TTM) for complex printed circuit boards (PCBs). Advanced technologies, such as 5G and miniLED, call for PCBs with increasingly complex designs that require time-consuming, compute-intensive validation for manufacturability. This new cloud-based SaaS offering – an industry first – addresses this challenge by moving DFM analysis to the cloud, which significantly reduces IT bottlenecks and the amount of time needed to run analyses. An on-premises DFM analysis can often take hours or even days, causing considerable delays in the mass production of PCBs for the electronics industry. To accelerate this process, KLA is transitioning its proven computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and engineering technologies to the cloud, where compute power is virtually infinite. Anecdotally, customers running comparative tests on complex PCBs saw Frontline Cloud Services enable up to 90% faster DFM analysis speeds. For example, one customer producing high-density interconnect (HDI) PCBs saw analysis time significantly shorten from 75 hours to 30 minutes when running the same DFM analysis on premises versus with Frontline Cloud Services, respectively. Another customer producing PCBs for miniLED ran a similar test and analysis time was reduced from nine hours to 20 minutes. For PCB manufacturers, Frontline Cloud Services can: Accelerate DFM analysis to meet growing productivity demands; Save on IT costs with scalable compute resources and monitored usage reports; Address emerging electronics trends like 5G and miniLED, and their increased design complexity; Provide access to consistently reliable, available and up-to-date services and tools; Ensure the higher cloud security standards in the industry with both factory- and job-level security; and Enable fast onboarding to the cloud-based system with no training or implementation required.

Balance Sheet Analysis
KLA appears likely to maintain its strong balance sheet metrics and momentum going forward. KLA is doing a good job of keeping its liabilities under control and growing intelligently. At filing, their liabilities were 7939.2, representing 4.0% change from the previous period. This performance is all interesting relative to their peers and suggests that their stock price has room to grow to reflect a higher intrinsic value. The company's liabilities movement component, therefore, received a grade of 75. Also, KLA did a great job related to equity this period, which stood at 4080.3, representing a 0.8% change. Companies in the same sector and market capitalization will usually be affected by up to 4.3 percent by this parameter. This performance is significantly more impressive than its peers and competitors. Consequently, their equity movement received a grade of 73. That said, one metric, Cash & Equivalents, stood out as particularly concerning. KLA's management did a relatively poor job managing cash and cash equivalents, which now sit at 1415.2 and represents a -14.6% change from the last reporting period. The company's cash and cash equivalents metrics highlight a difficult overall financial situation, which may, unfortunately, continue moving forward unless management makes significant changes. Discouraging results like these statistically lead to negative pressure in stock prices, so we rated their cash and cash equivalents with a score of 53. Consequently, the company's balance sheet earned a rank of 66.
| Parameter | Value | Change | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assets | 12,017.8 | 2.9% | 62 |
| Liabilities | 7,939.2 | 4.0% | 75 |
| Price to Book | 11.4 | -28.8% | 66 |
| Cash & Equivalents | 1,415.2 | -14.6% | 53 |
| Equity | 4,080.3 | 0.8% | 73 |
The below chart describes KLA's performance as reflected on its balance sheet with respect to its peers. While KLA received a balance sheet score of 66, the average of its peers stands on 73.0.

Cash Flow Analysis
Two metrics jump up as the most significant positive drivers of the cash flow's strength in KLA's recent report: Asset Turnover and Free Cash flow. KLA is doing a remarkable job of keeping its asset turnover under control. At filing, their asset turnover metrics were 0.8, representing a 3.7% change from the previous period. Companies in the same sector and market capitalization will usually be affected by up to 10.7 percent by this parameter. Their impressive asset turnover metrics, specifically in contrast to their industry peers' performance, should support a tailwind in the company's stock price.
