For Lam Research Corporation
Currency and currency equals, short-range savings and limited currency and savings balance remained $2.6 billion at the conclusion of the March 2012 quarterly records, connected to $2.4 billion at the conclusion of the December 2011 quarterly records. The increase in currency and currency equals, short-range savings and limited currency and savings balances throughout the quarter primarily on the account of functioning events and the currency payment of a share repo arrangement that did not execute. Cash flows from functioning events were about $146.4 million through the March 2012 quarterly report. Delayed returns and delayed revenue net at the completion of the March 2012 quarterly report increased to $246.2 million and $139.6 million, consistently. Lam Research postponed returns net exclude deliveries to Japanese clienteles, where name does not transfer pending client approval. Deliveries to Japanese clienteles are categorized as inventory at cost pending the time of approval. The predictable forthcoming return from deliveries to Japanese clienteles was nearly $18.5 million as of March 25, 2012.

Trailing 12-month revenue decreased 6.0%, and inventory increased 11.8%. Over the sequential quarterly period, the trend looks disappointing. Revenue dropped 14.2%, and inventory dropped 5.8%.
On a trailing 12-month basis, raw materials inventory was the fastest growing segment, up 26.4%. On a sequential quarter basis, raw materials inventory was also the fastest-growing segment; up 2.1%. Although Lam Research shows inventory growth that outpaces revenue growth, the company may also display positive inventory divergence, suggesting that management sees increased demand on the horizon.
