Sponsored by Businesswire

Entegris, Inc. (NasdaqGS: ENTG), a leader in specialty chemicals and
advanced materials solutions for the microelectronics industry, today
reported its financial results for the Company’s first quarter ended
March 30, 2019.

First-quarter sales were $391.0 million, an increase of 6% from the same
quarter last year. First-quarter net income was $32.7 million, or $0.24
per diluted share, which included $19.6 million deal costs mainly
associated with the terminated Versum transaction, $18.7 million of
amortization of intangible assets, $2.9 million of integration costs, a
$2.2 million charge for fair value write-up of acquired inventory sold,
and $1.8 million of severance related to organizational realignment.
Non-GAAP net income of $67.9 million was approximately on the same level
as the first quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of
$0.50 increased 6% compared to the first quarter of 2018.

Bertrand Loy, President and Chief Executive Officer, said: “In the first
quarter, we delivered solid results that demonstrated the strength of
our execution as well as the resilience of the Entegris platform. I’m
particularly pleased with this performance in light of the incremental
softness that impacted the industry in the quarter.”

Mr. Loy added: “Going forward, we feel very confident in our competitive
position, world-class technical capabilities, operational excellence and
overall growth prospects. Our solutions set is increasingly essential
for our customers to achieve higher yields and new levels of performance
and reliability. We expect 2019 to be another record year for Entegris,
in spite of the challenging industry environment.”

Second-Quarter Outlook

For the second quarter ending June 29, 2019, the Company expects sales
of $375 million to $390 million, net income of $137 million to $144
million and net income per diluted share between $1.00 and $1.05. On a
non-GAAP basis, EPS is expected to range from $0.40 to $0.45 per diluted
share, which reflects net income on a non-GAAP basis in the range of $55
million to $62 million, which is adjusted for expected amortization and
deal & integration expenses of approximately $36.6 million, or $0.21 per
share and the $140 million (or approximately $0.80 per share)
termination fee from the termination of the merger agreement with Versum
Materials.

Acquisition of Digital Specialty Chemicals

On March 8, 2019, the Company acquired Digital Specialty Chemicals, a
provider of advanced materials to the semiconductor, specialty chemical,
and pharmaceutical industries. Digital Specialty Chemicals is a market
leader in designing and synthesizing a new generation of films and
deposition materials. Digital Specialty Chemicals’ chemical synthesis
capabilities expands Entegris’ ability to serve its customers and
complements its own existing capabilities. Digital Specialty Chemicals
will be a part of the Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials
(SCEM) segment.

Segment Results

The Company reports its results in the following segments:

Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials (SCEM): SCEM
provides high-performance and high-purity process chemistries, gases and
materials, as well as safe and efficient delivery systems to support
semiconductor and other advanced manufacturing processes.

Microcontamination Control (MC): MC solutions purify critical
liquid chemistries and gases used in semiconductor manufacturing
processes and other high-technology industries.

Advanced Materials Handling (AMH): AMH develops solutions to
monitor, protect, transport, and deliver critical liquid chemistries,
wafers, and substrates for a broad set of applications in the
semiconductor industry and other high-technology industries.

Change in Inter-Segment Reporting

In the first quarter of 2019, the Company has changed its definition of
segment profit to include inter-segment sales. The Company updated its
recognition of inter-segment sales to recognize the revenue and profit
associated with products and components produced in one segment and
supplied to another, before being sold to the ultimate end customer. The
Company accounts for inter-segment sales and transfers as if the sales
or transfers were to third parties, that is, at approximate market
prices. Prior quarter information was recast to reflect the change in
the Company’s definition of segment profit.

Non-GAAP Information

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States (GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted
Segment Profit, and Adjusted Operating Income together with related
measures thereof, and non-GAAP EPS, 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 uses these non-GAAP financial measures
for financial and operational decision-making, as a means to evaluate
period-to-period comparisons, as well as comparisons to our competitors’
operating results. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial
measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our
performance and liquidity by excluding certain items that may not be
indicative of our recurring business operating results, such as
amortization, depreciation and discrete cash charges that are infrequent
in nature. We believe that both management and investors benefit from
referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing and
understanding our results and performance and when planning,
forecasting, and analyzing future periods. We believe these non-GAAP
financial measures are useful to investors both because (1) they allow
for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management
in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) they are used
by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them
analyze our business. The reconciliations of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to
Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA, and GAAP Net Income
(Loss) to Non-GAAP Earnings per Share are included elsewhere in this
release.
