Entegris Reports Results for Second Quarter of 2023

Entegris, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENTG), today reported its financial results for the Company’s second quarter ended July 1, 2023. Second-quarter sales were $901.0 million, an increase of 30% from the same quarter last year. Second-quarter GAAP net income was $197.6 million, or $1.31 income per diluted share, which included a $154.8 million of gain on a termination of an alliance agreement, $54.7 million of amortization of intangible assets, $18.4 million of integration costs and $19.4 million of other net costs. Non-GAAP net income was $99.6 million for the second quarter and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share was $0.66. The results for the second quarter of 2022 are shown on a “as reported” basis and not on a “proforma” basis, and as a result do not include CMC Materials’ results.

Bertrand Loy, Entegris’ president and chief executive officer, said: “Our performance and execution in the second quarter was solid and showcased the resilience of our unit driven model. Sales were down sequentially as expected, but we did see growth in product lines that are of increasing importance to our customers’ technology roadmaps.

“We have made good progress on key initiatives. The CMC Materials integration is proceeding very well, and we are on track to achieve our $75 million run-rate cost synergy target by the fourth quarter. Debt paydown is a high priority for us and divestitures of non-core assets have been a significant lever to reduce this debt. So far this year, we have entered into definitive agreements for the sale of three businesses, totaling more than $1 billion in proceeds,” he said.

“While our expectations for an industry recovery in the short term are modest,” Loy said, “we continue to be extremely optimistic about the long-term secular growth of the semiconductor industry. We have strong conviction in the growing importance of our value proposition, our opportunity to grow our content per wafer, and our ability to continue to outperform the market. During the second half of the year, our focus will be on completing the CMC integration and managing our cost structure, while making the necessary investments in our future.”

Third-Quarter Outlook

For the third quarter ending September 30, 2023, the Company expects sales of $875 million to $900 million, GAAP net income of $34 million to $42 million and diluted earnings per common share between $0.23 and $0.28. On a non-GAAP basis, the Company expects diluted earnings per common share to range from $0.57 to $0.62, reflecting net income on a non-GAAP basis in the range of $86 million to $94 million. The Company also expects EBITDA of approximately 26% to 27% of sales, for the third quarter of 2023.

Non-GAAP Information

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Proforma net sales, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit, adjusted segment profit, adjusted operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP adjusted operating margin and diluted non-GAAP earnings per common share, together with related measures thereof, are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company provides supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to better understand and manage its business and believes these measures provide investors and analysts additional and meaningful information for the assessment of the Company’s ongoing results. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to assist in the evaluation of the performance of its business segments and to make operating decisions. Management believes that the Company’s non-GAAP measures help indicate the Company’s baseline performance before certain gains, losses or other charges that may not be indicative of the Company’s business or future outlook, and that non-GAAP measures offer a more consistent view of business performance. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures aid investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s results by providing a higher degree of transparency for such items and providing a level of disclosure that will help investors generally understand how management plans, measures and evaluates the Company’s business performance. Management believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides greater consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors’ understanding of the Company’s historical operating trends by providing an additional basis for comparisons to prior periods. The reconciliations of GAAP gross profit to adjusted gross profit, GAAP segment profit to adjusted operating income, GAAP net income to adjusted operating income and adjusted EBITDA, GAAP net income and diluted earnings per common share to non-GAAP net income and diluted non-GAAP earnings per common share and GAAP outlook to non-GAAP outlook are included elsewhere in this release.
