NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position as of May 28, 2005 and August 28, 2004, the results of operations for the three months and nine months ended May 28, 2005 and May 29, 2004, and shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine months ended May 28, 2005 and May 29, 2004.

 

Certain amounts reported in previous years have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. In the second quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company began to classify its investment in auction-rate securities as short-term investments. These investments were included in cash and cash equivalents in previous periods ($33.2 million at August 28, 2004), and such amount has been reclassified in the accompanying financial statements to conform to the current period classification. This change in classification had no effect on the amounts of total current assets, total assets, net income, shareholders’ equity or cash flow from operations of the Company. All of the Company’s short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale at May 28, 2005 and are reflected as current assets based upon the Company’s intent and ability to use any and all of the securities as necessary to satisfy the operational requirements of the Company’s business.

 

The consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and notes. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis and consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended August 28, 2004. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended May 28, 2005 and May 29, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period ending on the last Saturday of August. The fiscal years ending August 27, 2005 and August 28, 2004 comprised 52 weeks. In fiscal 2005, the Company’s interim quarters ended on November 27, 2004, February 26, 2005 and May 28, 2005. Fiscal years are identified in this report according to the calendar year in which they end. For example, the fiscal year ending August 27, 2005 is referred to as “fiscal 2005”.

 

2. Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans. The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and related interpretations. The exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options generally equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant for all options granted, and thus, under APB 25, no compensation expense is recognized.

 

For employee stock options granted during the first nine months of fiscal 2005, the Company determined pro forma compensation expense under the provisions of SFAS No. 123 using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions: 1) an expected dividend yield of 0%, 2) an expected stock price volatility of 75%, 3) a risk-free interest rate of 3.5% and 4) an expected life of 6 years. The weighted average estimated fair value of options granted during the first nine months of fiscal 2005 with all exercise prices equal to the market price at the date of grant was $5.69.

 

For stock purchase rights under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan, the Company determined pro forma compensation expense under the provisions of SFAS No. 123 using the Black-Scholes pricing model and the following assumptions: 1) an expected dividend yield of 0%, 2) an expected stock price volatility of 75%, 3) a risk-free interest rate of 2.0% and 4) an expected life of 0.5 years. The weighted average estimated fair value of stock purchase rights during the first nine months of fiscal 2005 was $3.39.

Table of Contents

During September 2004, the Compensation and Stock Option Committee (the Committee) of the Company’s Board of Directors reviewed the Company’s stock-based compensation plans in light of evolving compensation practices and the anticipated issuance by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) of its revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123R)(subsequently issued in December 2004) which upon adoption requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations based on their fair values. After consideration of various alternatives, the Committee approved the accelerated and full vesting of all unvested outstanding employee stock options with exercise prices above $9.21 issued prior to October 1, 2004. The effect of the vesting acceleration was the recognition of incremental additional stock-based employee compensation of approximately $6.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 in the Company’s pro forma disclosure below. This previously deferred stock-based employee compensation expense amount would otherwise in part have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations in future periods after the adoption of SFAS 123R in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.

 

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation (in thousands, except per share data).

7. Marketable Equity Securities

 

At August 28, 2004, the Company’s investments included the Company’s equity ownership in Nortem N.V. (formerly Metron Technology N.V.), a publicly traded security. The Company’s investment in Nortem N.V. (Nortem) was accounted for as an available-for-sale security. At August 28, 2004, the Company owned approximately 1.1 million common shares of Nortem.

 

On August 16, 2004, Metron Technology N.V. (Metron) announced that it had entered into an agreement with Applied Materials, Inc. (Applied), pursuant to which Applied would acquire the business assets of Metron. On December 14, 2004, Metron completed its sale to Applied of the outstanding shares of Metron’s worldwide operating subsidiaries and substantially all of the other assets held at the Metron level. Immediately following the closing, Metron entered into liquidation and changed its name from Metron to Nortem NV.

 

On March 11, 2005, Nortem paid the first of two distributions, to shareholders of record as of March 4, 2005, in the amount of $3.75 per share. Accordingly, based on the Company’s carrying value of $2.00 per share and the $3.9 million cash distribution received March 11, 2005, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $1.8 million in the third quarter ended May 28, 2005, reflected as “Other income” in the Company’s results of operations). In addition, contingent proceeds of $1.1 million (approximately $1.01 per share) were received in a final distribution subsequent to the quarter end and will be recorded as “Other income” in the Company’s fourth quarter.

 

In addition, as a result of the liquidation activities of Nortem, Nortem ceased to be an affiliate of the Company as of February 25, 2005. Accordingly, the Company no longer classifies its trade receivable due from Nortem separately in the accompanying balance sheet, nor will sales to Applied after that date be categorized as sales to affiliates.

 

In the first nine months of fiscal 2004, the Company’s “Other income” of $1.3 million included a gain of $1.1 million, or $0.7 million after tax, on the sale of 0.5 million shares of Metron’s common stock.

 

8. Warranty

 

The Company accrues for warranty costs based on historical trends and the expected material and labor costs to provide warranty services. The majority of products sold are generally covered by a warranty for periods ranging from 90 days to one year. The following table summarizes the activity related to the product warranty liability for the three months and nine months ended May 28, 2005 and May 29, 2004 (in thousands):

10. Income Taxes

 

The Company’s effective tax rate was 26.1% in the first nine months of fiscal 2005. This effective rate was lower than the U.S. statutory rate partly due to a $0.5 million tax benefit recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 related to the favorable resolution of a U.S. Federal income tax refund claim made by the Company.

 

On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act) was signed into law. The Act allows U.S. corporations a one-time deduction of 85 percent of certain “cash dividends” received from controlled foreign corporations. The deduction would be available to the Company in either fiscal 2005 or fiscal 2006. The Company has evaluated the effects of the Act on its plan for repatriation of foreign earnings and the related impact to its tax provision. The Company intends to continue to reinvest its undistributed international earnings in its international operations; therefore, no U.S. tax expense has been recorded to cover the repatriation of such undistributed earnings.

 

11. Gain on sale of building

 

During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company sold a facility in Minnesota for $2.1 million in cash. The gain on the sale of $0.4 million is classified within cost of goods sold.

 

12. Contingent Liabilities

 

In September 2002, Lucent Technologies, Inc. and its insurers named the Company as one of several defendants in an action filed in circuit court in Orange County, Florida for damages arising from a chemical spill at its facility in January 2000. In late February of 2005, Lucent served a demand increasing its requested damages from the Company to $35 million in addition to plaintiffs’ demand for punitive damages. This case is currently scheduled for trial in September of 2005. While the outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with any certainty, based on the information to date, the Company believes that it has valid defenses to the claims and does not believe that the matter will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, operating results or cash flows. Accordingly, no amount has been accrued in the consolidated financial statements for such claim.

 

The Company does have insurance coverage that may apply to plaintiff’s claims, other than claims for punitive damages. The insurer having the largest exposure for payment of covered claims is no longer issuing new insurance and has filed a commercial run-off plan with the Illinois Division of Insurance. The Illinois Division of Insurance has substantial discretion to control the insurer. Consequently, these circumstances could possibly prevent payment by that insurer of some or all of its covered claims. For these reasons, the Company cannot give absolute assurance as to what portion of the plaintiffs’ claims, if sustained, would be satisfied by insurance coverage.

13. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values and the pro forma disclosure alternative (currently reflected in Note 2) is no longer allowable under Statement 123(R). The revised standard is effective for public entities in the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005, which for the Company will be the first quarter of fiscal 2006 beginning August 28, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123R, which will result in additional pre-tax compensation expense in fiscal 2006 for remaining unvested stock options and any future stock option grants. The ultimate amount of increased compensation expense will be dependent on the number of option shares granted, their timing and vesting periods, and the method used to calculate the fair value of the awards, among other factors.

 

In November 2003 and March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. The consensus requires companies to apply new guidance for evaluating whether an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired and also requires quantitative and qualitative disclosure of debt and equity securities, classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity, that are determined to be only temporarily impaired at the balance sheet date. The Company incorporated the required disclosures for investments accounted for under SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, as required in fiscal year 2004. In September 2004, the consensus was indefinitely delayed as it relates to the measurement and recognition of impairment losses for all securities in the scope of paragraphs 10-20 of EITF 03-1. The disclosures prescribed by EITF No. 03-1 and guidance related to impairment measurement prior to the issuance of this consensus continue to remain in effect. Adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4, which adopts wording from the International Accounting Standards Board’s (IASB) IAS 2 Inventories in an effort to improve the comparability of cross-border financial reporting. The FASB and IASB both believe the standards have the same intent; however, an amendment to the wording was adopted to avoid inconsistent application. The new standard indicates that abnormal freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) are required to be treated as current period charges rather than as a portion of inventory cost. Additionally, the standard clarifies that fixed production overhead should be allocated based on the normal capacity of a production facility. The statement is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2007. Adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (FIN 47). FIN 47 clarifies that a conditional asset retirement obligation, as used in SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of the settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The Statement is effective for companies no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of FIN 47 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the timing of adoption.

 

In May 2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (SFAS 154), which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. This Statement changes the requirements for the

Table of Contents

accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle, and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principles, as well as changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance it does not include specific transition provisions. Specifically, this Statement requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When it is impracticable to determine the effects of the change, the new accounting principle must be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and a corresponding adjustment must be made to the opening balance of retained earnings for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of the change, the new principle must be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. This Statement is effective for the company for all accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. This Statement does not change the transition provisions of any existing pronouncements. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

14. Merger with Mykrolis

 

The Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 21, 2005 (the “Merger Agreement”) with Mykrolis Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Mykrolis”), and Eagle DE, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Eagle Delaware”). In addition, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger as of March 21, 2005 (the “Reincorporation Merger Agreement”) and together with the Merger Agreement, the “Merger Agreements”) with Eagle Delaware.

 

Entegris will be the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. The merger will be accounted for as a business combination as required by SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations and also specifies criteria intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill.

 

Mykrolis Corporation is a developer, manufacturer and supplier of liquid and gas delivery systems, components and consumables used to measure, deliver, control and purify the process liquids, gases and chemicals that are used in the semiconductor manufacturing process. In addition, its products are used to manufacture flat-panel displays, high-purity chemicals, photoresists, solar cells, gas lasers, optical and magnetic storage devices and fiber-optic cables. Mykrolis’ sales for the year ended December 31, 2004 were approximately $289 million.

 

Under the terms of the Merger Agreements, Entegris will reincorporate in Delaware by merging (the “Reincorporation Merger”) into Eagle Delaware and each share of Entegris common stock, par value $0.01 per share, will be automatically exchanged for one fully paid and nonassessable share of Eagle Delaware common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Eagle Delaware Common Stock”). In addition, Eagle Delaware will assume all options and restricted stock units then outstanding under Entegris’ existing equity incentive plans, and such options will be exercisable for, and such restricted stock units will be exchangeable for, shares of Eagle Delaware Common Stock, but otherwise on the same terms as were applicable to such options and restricted stock units prior to the Reincorporation Merger. Immediately following the Reincorporation Merger, Mykrolis will be merged (the “Merger”) into Eagle Delaware. In the Merger, each outstanding share of Mykrolis common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Mykrolis Common Stock”), will be automatically converted into the right to receive 1.39 (the “Exchange Ratio”) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Eagle Delaware Common Stock. In addition, upon completion of the Merger, Eagle Delaware will assume all options then outstanding under Mykrolis’ existing equity incentive plans, each of which will be exercisable for a number of shares of Eagle Delaware Common Stock (and at an exercise price) adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio. In connection with the mergers, the name of Eagle Delaware will be changed to Entegris, Inc.

Table of Contents

The Company has filed a Form S-4 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which was declared effective June 30, 2005. In addition, on April 21, 2005 the Federal Trade Commission granted early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 with respect to the proposed merger.

 

The stockholder meetings for each of the Company and Mykrolis to vote with respect to the mergers have been set for August 3, 2005. Provided stockholder approval is received and the other closing conditions are either satisfied or waived, the Company and Mykrolis expect to close the merger transaction on August 5, 2005. The transaction is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Merger Agreement provides that the board of directors of Eagle Delaware following the Merger will consist of eleven directors, including five directors selected from the current Mykrolis board, five directors selected from the current Entegris board and one independent director chosen by the new Eagle Delaware board of directors after the Merger.

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Overview Entegris, Inc. is a leading provider of materials integrity management products and services that protect and transport the critical materials used in key technology-driven industries. Entegris derives most of its revenue from the sale of products and services to the semiconductor and data storage industries. The Company’s customers consist primarily of semiconductor manufacturers, semiconductor equipment and materials suppliers, and hard disk manufacturers which are served through direct sales efforts, as well as sales and distribution relationships, in the United States, Asia and Europe.

 

The Company’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period ending on the last Saturday of August. The current fiscal year will end on August 27, 2005 and includes 52 weeks. The previous fiscal year ended on August 28, 2004 and also comprised 52 weeks. Fiscal years are identified in this report according to the calendar year in which they end. For example, the fiscal year ending August 27, 2005 is referred to as “fiscal 2005”.

 

Forward-Looking Statements The information in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, except for the historical information, contains forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements could differ materially from actual results. The Company assumes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision or updates to these forward-looking statements to reflect future events or unanticipated occurrences. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes, which are included elsewhere in this report.

 

Key operating factors Key factors, which management believes have the largest impact on the overall results of operations of Entegris, Inc. include:

 

    The level of sales. Since a large portion of the Company’s product costs (excepting raw materials, purchased components and direct labor) are largely fixed in the short/medium term, an increase or decrease in sales affects gross profits and overall profitability significantly. Also, increases or decreases in sales and operating profitability affects certain costs such as incentive compensation, commissions and donations, all of which are highly variable in nature.

 

    The variable margin on sales, which is determined by selling prices and the cost of manufacturing and raw materials, has a large effect on profit. This factor is affected by a number of factors, which include the Company’s sale mix, purchase prices of raw material, especially resin, purchased components, competition, both domestic and international, direct labor costs, and the efficiency of the Company’s production operations, among others.

 

    The Company’s fixed cost structure is significant. Accordingly, increases or decreases in these costs have a large impact on profitability. There are a number of large fixed or semi-fixed cost components, which include salaries, indirect labor, and benefits, and depreciation and amortization. Thus changes in amounts or usage of these cost components can have a large effect on the Company’s results of operations.

Overall Summary of Third Quarter Fiscal 2005 Financial Results For the third quarter of fiscal 2005, net sales decreased 12% from last year’s third quarter, while rising by 2% sequentially from the second quarter of fiscal 2005, reflecting the soft demand for some of the Company’s semiconductor product lines.

 

As a result of the lower net sales, the Company reported reduced gross profit and gross margin compared to last year’s third quarter. Lower selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, as well as higher interest and other income, partly offset the impact of the lower sales activity. The Company reported a 23% reduction in net income to $7.1 million for the period. When compared to the current fiscal year’s second quarter, gross profit was slightly improved. Combined with lower SG&A expenses and the aforementioned higher interest and other income, net earnings rose by 59% sequentially.

 

During the third quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company generated cash flows of $19.9 million from operations. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $163.6 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2005, compared with $133.2 million at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004.

 

Based on its assessment of activity levels in the semiconductor industry and current incoming order rates, and the expectation of a pause in the strong demand for its data storage products, the Company expects sales for its fourth quarter ending August 27, 2005 to be about the level reported in the third quarter. Based on the sales expectation noted above and other factors noted below, the Company anticipates net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 in the range of $3.0 million to $4.0 million, or earnings per share of from $0.04 to $0.05.

 

Merger with Mykrolis The Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Mykrolis Corporation on March 21, 2005. Mykrolis Corporation is a developer, manufacturer and supplier of liquid and gas delivery systems, components and consumables used to measure, deliver, control and purify the process liquids, gases and chemicals that are used in the semiconductor manufacturing process. In addition, its products are used to manufacture flat-panel displays, high-purity chemicals, photoresists, solar cells, gas lasers, optical and magnetic storage devices and fiber-optic cables. Mykrolis’ sales for the year ended December 31, 2004 were approximately $289 million. The Company and Mykrolis expect to close the merger transaction in August 5, 2005.

 

Critical Accounting Policies Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. At each balance sheet date, management evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to accounts receivable, warranty and sales return obligations, inventories, long-lived assets, and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The critical accounting policies affected most significantly by estimates, assumptions and judgments used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements are discussed below.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Other Accounts Receivable-Related Valuation Accounts The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts as well as reserves for sales returns and allowances, and warranty claims. Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing these valuation accounts. Material differences could result in the amount and timing of the Company’s results of operations for any period if we made different judgments or utilized different estimates. In addition, actual results could be different from the Company’s current estimates, possibly resulting in increased future charges to earnings.

Table of Contents

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts for all individual receivables judged to be unlikely for collection. For all other accounts receivable, the Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of factors. Specifically, management analyzes the age of receivable balances, historical bad debts write-off experience, industry and geographic concentrations of customers, general customer creditworthiness and current economic trends when determining its allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $1.9 million and $1.8 million at May 28, 2005 and August 28, 2004, respectively.

 

A reserve for sales returns and allowances is established based on historical experience and current trends in product returns. At May 28, 2005 and August 28, 2004, the Company’s reserve for sales returns and allowances was $1.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

 

The Company records a liability for estimated warranty claims. The amount of the accrual, which is classified as a current liability, is based on historical claims data by product group and other factors. Claims could be materially different from actual results for a variety of reasons, including a change in the Company’s warranty policy in response to industry trends, competition or other external forces, manufacturing changes that could impact product quality, or as yet unrecognized defects in products sold. At May 28, 2005 and August 28, 2004, the Company’s accrual for estimated future warranty costs was $1.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

 

Inventory Valuation The Company uses certain estimates and judgments to properly value inventory. In general, the Company’s inventories are recorded at the lower of manufacturing cost or market value. Each quarter, the Company evaluates its ending inventories for obsolescence and excess quantities. This evaluation includes analyses of inventory levels, historical write-off trends, expected product lives, sales levels by product and projections of future sales demand. Inventories that are considered obsolete are written off or are reserved for fully. In addition, reserves are established for inventory quantities in excess of forecasted demand. Inventory reserves were $5.5 million at May 28, 2005 compared to $4.2 million at August 28, 2004.

 

The Company’s inventories comprise materials and products subject to technological obsolescence, which are sold in highly competitive industries. If future demand or market conditions are less favorable than current analyses, additional inventory write-downs or reserves may be required and would be reflected in cost of sales in the period the revision is made.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company routinely considers whether indicators of impairment of its property and equipment assets, particularly its molding equipment, are present. If such indicators are present, it is determined whether the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows attributable to the assets in question is less than their carrying value. If less, an impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their respective fair values. Fair value is determined by discounted estimated future cash flows, appraisals or other methods deemed appropriate. If the assets determined to be impaired are to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment charge to the extent the present value of anticipated net cash flows attributable to the asset are less than the asset grouping’s carrying value. The fair value of the asset then becomes the asset’s new carrying value, which we depreciate over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset.

 

The Company assesses the impairment of intangible assets and related goodwill at least annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors considered important which could trigger an impairment review, and potentially an impairment charge, include the following:

 

  significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results;

 

  significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the Company’s overall business strategy;

 

  significant negative industry or economic trends;

 

16


Table of Contents
  significant decline in the Company’s stock price for a sustained period changing the Company’s market capitalization relative to its net book value; and

 

  plans to abandon or dispose of assets.

 

The Company’s marketable equity securities are periodically reviewed to determine if declines in fair value below cost basis are other-than-temporary, requiring an impairment loss to be recorded and the investment written down to a new cost basis.

 

Income Taxes The Company is subject to income taxes in both the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. In the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, management is required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposures together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

 

The Company has significant amounts of deferred assets. Management reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability on a quarterly basis and assesses the need for valuation allowances. These deferred tax assets are evaluated by considering historical levels of income, estimates of future taxable income streams and the impact of tax planning strategies. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the Company would not be able to realize all or part of its deferred tax assets. The Company carried no valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at either May 28, 2005 or August 28, 2004.

 

The Company establishes reserves for tax-related matters based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes and interest will be due. These reserves are established when, despite management’s belief that the Company’s tax return positions are fully supportable, it believes that certain positions are likely to be challenged and may not be probable of being sustained on review by tax authorities. These reserves are adjusted in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate, as well as the related net interest.

 

On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act) was signed into law. The Act allows U.S. corporations a one-time deduction of 85 percent of certain “cash dividends” received from controlled foreign corporations. The deduction would be available to the Company in either fiscal 2005 or fiscal 2006. The Company has evaluated the effects of the Act on its plan for repatriation of foreign earnings and the related impact to its tax provision. The Company intends to continue to reinvest its undistributed international earnings in its international operations; therefore, no U.S. tax expense has been recorded to cover the repatriation of such undistributed earnings.

Net sales Net sales were $87.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2005, down 12% compared to $98.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. Sequentially, sales for the quarter were 2% higher than the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2005 were $262.8 million, up 6% from $247.3 million in the comparable year-ago period. Net sales for the three months and nine months ended May 29, 2004 included favorable foreign currency effects, primarily related to the strengthening of the Japanese yen, in the amounts of $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

For the quarter the semiconductor market generated 72% of the Company’s overall sales, compared to about 82% a year earlier, with sales down by 22% over the prior year’s third quarter. On a year-over-year basis, quarterly sales were generally down for most semiconductor product groups.

 

Semiconductor market sales decreased 2% from the fiscal 2005 second quarter to the fiscal 2005 third quarter. Sales for the materials-consumption-driven products posted a third–quarter sequential increase of about 10%, after a decline of about 11% in the fiscal 2005 second quarter. Typical quarter-to-quarter fluctuations are in the mid-single digit percentage range. For capital-spending-driven products, demand for our 300 mm FOUP offering was again very strong, but was more than offset by weakness in smaller wafer size fabs and in the Company’s fluid handling offering to the OEM community. The capital equipment market is slowly improving. Overall, underlying industry fundamentals look promising.

 

Data storage market sales accounted for 16% percent of overall sales, compared to about 7% a year earlier, with sales up 94% from the year-ago period. Sequentially, sales were up by 36%. Strong worldwide demand for hard disk drives, particularly related to consumer electronics translated into stronger sales and bookings momentum toward the end of the first quarter and continued to be solid throughout the second and third quarters. However, the Company is cautious about fourth quarter sales levels for data storage products because historically some seasonal weakness in demand occurs during that period. Therefore, even though industry fundamentals remain strong, the Company expects data storage sales to decline slightly in the fourth quarter from third-quarter levels.

 

Services market revenues accounted for 7% of Entegris’ overall sales, compared to about 7% a year ago, with a 10% decline from the year ago quarter and fiscal 2005’s second quarter. Sales fell due to timing issues related to revenue recognition for cleaning equipment. Deferred revenue for cleaning equipment sales rose by $0.8 million to $3.0 at the end of the third quarter.

Table of Contents

Life Sciences generated approximately 4% of Entegris’ overall sales, about the same as a year ago. Sales declined 3% from last year’s third quarter, but were 24% higher than this year’s second quarter. During the quarter, Entegris recorded revenue for some large equipment orders related to its clean-in-place equipment offering. The Company anticipates sequential improvement in life sciences’ sales in the fourth quarter.

 

On a geographic basis, total sales to North America were 38%, Asia Pacific 31%, Europe 16% and Japan 15%. Compared to the fiscal 2005 second quarter, sales levels were generally similar to the second quarter, with North America improving slightly and Asia Pacific declining slightly.

 

Based on current order rates, industry analyst expectations and other information, the Company expects fiscal 2005 fourth quarter sales to be flat with third-quarter levels. Economic conditions, particularly for the semiconductor industry, remain difficult to project. There remain considerable risks related to a variety of factors. Accordingly, the Company’s projection for next quarter is subject to uncertainty. In addition, industry volatility and uncertain market conditions make it difficult to forecast for future quarters.

 

Gross profit Gross profit in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 of $35.2 million was down 20% from the $44.3 million reported in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. For the first nine months of fiscal 2005, gross profit was $107.0 million, about level with the $106.5 million recorded in the first nine months of fiscal 2004. As a percentage of net sales, gross margins for the third quarter and first nine months of the fiscal year were 40.5 % and 40.7%, respectively, compared to 44.9% and 43.1%, respectively, in the comparable periods a year ago.

 

Following the 12% sales decline compared to last year’s third quarter, gross profit fell due to lower factory utilization and a change in product mix, with a relative shift from material consumption-based products, margins of which benefit from more automation and less volatile order patterns. Raw material pricing for some product lines also put some pressure on gross margins during the quarter.

 

During the quarter, the Company began to realign some of its production and administrative activities to increase manufacturing efficiencies and asset utilization. The actions are expected to be complete by the end of calendar 2005. Out-of-pocket expenses are projected to be from $2.5 million to $3 million, of which $0.1 million was incurred through May 28, 2005. In addition, the Company expects up to $3.0 million in accelerated depreciation associated with assets to be sold or abandoned at the completion of certain phases of the realignment activities, reflecting the assets’ shortened useful lives. The Company recognized $0.4 million in additional depreciation in the third quarter.

 

On a sequential basis, the Company’s third quarter gross margin percentage of 40.5% was slightly lower than the second quarter figure of 40.9%. Raw material pricing for some of product lines continued to affect gross margins. There are a number of initiatives in place to manage raw material pricing increases, including expanding sourcing options and passing on some price increases to customers. During the third quarter, gross profit was improved by a $0.7 million reduction in the Company’s warranty accrual originally recorded in connection with a prior year acquisition.

 

With a forecast of flat sales, the Company would anticipate gross margins in the fourth quarter to be similar to third quarter levels under normal circumstances. However, the anticipated additional expenses of up to $3.0 million in the fourth quarter related to realignment costs related to some of the Company’s production and administrative activities will result in lower gross margins. During the fourth quarter, the additional expenses to be incurred include accelerated depreciation associated with assets scheduled to be abandoned and out of pocket expenses related to the relocation of production.

 

Year-to-date gross profit included a gain of $0.4 million on the sale of a facility during the first quarter.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased by $2.2 million, or 9%, to $23.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 from $25.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. SG&A expenses for the third quarter were down about 5% from the second quarter of fiscal 2005. On a year-to-year basis, SG&A expenses rose by $2.4 million, or 3% to $72.3 million compared to $69.9 million a year earlier. On a year-to-date basis, SG&A costs, as a percent of net sales, decreased to 27.5% from 28.3% a year ago. This decline reflects the higher SG&A costs being more than offset by the Company’s increase in net sales.

 

19


Table of Contents

The year-over-year decrease for the quarter was due primarily to lower sales commissions ($0.4 million) and decreased incentive pay, profit-sharing and donation accruals ($0.8 million). The year-to-year increase for the nine-month period was primarily due to higher restricted stock expense ($0.7 million), higher sales commissions ($0.8 million), and incentive pay and donation accruals ($1.1 million).

 

The Company anticipates fourth quarter SG&A levels to be more in line with second quarter 2005 levels of $24.4 million due to integration costs related to the merger, and expenses related to SemiconWest, the large North American semiconductor trade show, which occurs in the fourth quarter.

 

Engineering, research and development expenses Engineering, research and development (ER&D) expenses fell by $0.4 million, or 7%, to $4.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 as compared to $5.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2004. ER&D expenses decreased 5% to $14.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2005 as compared to $14.8 million in the year-ago period. Year-to-date ER&D expenses, as a percent of net sales, decreased to 5.3% from 6.0%, reflecting both the Company’s higher net sales and lower ER&D expenses. The Company continued to focus on the support of current product lines, and the development of new products and manufacturing technologies.

 

Interest income, net Net interest income of $0.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to $12 thousand in the year-ago period. Net interest income was $1.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2005 compared to $0.1 million in year-ago period. The increases reflect higher average net invested balances and higher rates of interest available on the Company’s investment in debt securities, when compared to a year ago. In addition, interest income in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 included $0.2 million related to interest on a tax refund received during the period.

 

Other income, net Included in other income in both the three months and nine months ended May 29, 2004 was a gain of $1.8 million related to the merger and subsequent liquidation of the Company’s investment in of Nortem N.V. (formerly Metron Technology N.V.), a publicly traded security. The Company held 1.1 million common shares of Nortem prior to the liquidation of all Nortem common shares. On March 11, 2005, Nortem paid the first of two distributions, to shareholders of record as of March 4, 2005, in the amount of $3.75 per share. Accordingly, based on the Company’s carrying value of $2.00 per share and the $3.9 million cash distribution received March 11, 2005, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $1.8 million in the third quarter ended May 28, 2005. In addition, proceeds of $1.1 million (approximately $1.01 per share) were received in a final distribution after quarter end and will be recorded as other income in the Company’s fourth quarter.

 

Included in other income in the three months and nine months ended May 29, 2004 were gains of $36 thousand and $1.1 million, respectively, on the sale of 30 thousand shares and 0.5 million shares, respectively, of Nortem common stock.

 

Income tax expense The Company recorded income tax expense of $2.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to income tax expense of $4.3 million for the third quarter a year earlier. For the first nine months of fiscal 2005, the Company booked income tax expense of $6.2 million compared to income tax expense of $7.3 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2004.

 

The effective year-to-date tax rate is 26.1% in fiscal 2005, compared to 31.5% for the first nine months of fiscal 2004. The lower rate in fiscal 2005 includes a $0.5 million tax benefit that was recorded due to a final resolution of a U.S. Federal income tax refund claim made by the Company. The Company’s tax rate is also below the U.S. statutory rate due to lower taxes on foreign operations, a tax benefit associated with export activities, and a tax credit associated with R&D activities.

 

Based on the current analysis of its tax situation, the Company anticipates the effective tax rate for the full fiscal year 2005 to be about 27%, exclusive of the tax benefit of $0.5 million noted above. However, tax calculations are complex and sensitive to estimates of annual levels of profitability. Therefore, it is possible that there will be volatility in the Company’s effective tax rate during the remainder of the fiscal year.

On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act) was signed into law. The Act allows U.S. corporations a one-time deduction of 85 percent of certain “cash dividends” received from controlled foreign corporations. The deduction would be available to the Company in either fiscal 2005 or fiscal 2006. The Company has evaluated the effects of the Act on its plan for repatriation of foreign earnings and the related impact to its tax provision. The Company intends to continue to reinvest its undistributed international earnings in its international operations; therefore, no U.S. tax expense has been recorded to cover the repatriation of such undistributed earnings.

 

In addition, the Act includes numerous law changes that will affect the Company’s future tax computations. The provisions of the Act include a new deduction for U.S. manufacturers and the repeal of the extraterritorial income exclusion. The Company is studying the new law to determine what impact, if any, the Act will have on its effective tax rate in future fiscal years.

 

Net income The Company recorded net income of $7.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2005, compared to net income of $9.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. For the nine months ended May 28, 2005, the Company recorded net income of $17.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to net income of $15.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the comparable period a year ago.

 

Based on the range of sales forecasted above, the Company anticipates net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 in the range of $3.0 million to $4.0 million, or earnings per share of from $0.04 to $0.05, including the expected gain on the Company’s Nortem investment and the anticipated expenses related to the realignment of production and administrative activities.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Operating activities Cash flow provided by operating activities totaled $42.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The cash flow generated from operations mainly reflected the Company’s net earnings of $17.3 million, combined with various noncash charges, including depreciation and amortization of $17.4 million. Cash flow also increased due to lower non-cash working capital demands. Working capital at May 28, 2005 stood at $228.4 million, up $28.7 million from August 28, 2004, and included $163.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

 

After accounting for foreign currency translation adjustments, inventories decreased by $1.1 million from August 28, 2004. The decrease mainly reflected the lower work-in-process inventories associated with the Company’s decreased sales activity. Accounts receivable, net of foreign currency translation adjustments, decreased by $9.2 million, reflecting the quarter’s lower sales. However, days sales outstanding increased slightly from 64 days at the beginning of the year to 67 days at the end of the third quarter, and up from 66 days at the end of the second quarter. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased by $1.4 million from August 28, 2004.

 

Investing activities Cash flow used in investing activities totaled $10.4 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2005. Acquisition of property, plant and equipment totaled $14.0 million, primarily for additions of manufacturing, tooling, computer and laboratory equipment. The Company expects capital expenditures in the range of $20 million to $25 million during fiscal 2005.

 

The company had purchases of short-term investments, net of maturities, of $0.6 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2005. Short-term investments stood at $91.4 million at May 28, 2005.

 

At August 28, 2004, the Company’s investments included the Company’s equity ownership in Nortem N.V. (formerly Metron Technology N.V.), a publicly traded security. The Company’s investment in Nortem N.V. (Nortem) was accounted for as an available-for-sale security. At August 28, 2004, the Company owned approximately 1.1 million common shares of Nortem.

Table of Contents

On August 16, 2004, Metron Technology N.V. (Metron) announced that it had entered into an agreement with Applied Materials, Inc. (Applied), pursuant to which Applied would acquire the business assets of Metron. On December 14, 2004, Metron completed its sale to Applied of the outstanding shares of Metron’s worldwide operating subsidiaries and substantially all of the other assets held at the Metron level. Immediately following the closing, Metron entered into liquidation and changed its name from Metron to Nortem NV.

 

On March 11, 2005, Nortem paid the first of two distributions, to shareholders of record as of March 4, 2005, in the amount of $3.75 per share. Accordingly, the Company received a $3.9 million cash distribution in exchange for its Nortem shares in the third quarter ended May 28, 2005. In addition, proceeds of $1.1 million (approximately $1.01 per share) were received in a final distribution after quarter end and will be recorded in the Company’s fourth quarter.

 

Financing activities Cash used by financing activities totaled $2.7 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The Company made payments of $18.1 million on borrowings, while proceeds from new borrowings totaled $15.5 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2005. In addition, the Company received proceeds of $1.8 million in connection with common shares issued under the Company’s stock option and employee stock purchase plans.

 

The Company repurchased 223,600 common shares for $1.8 million, all of which occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, as part of a 500,000 share repurchase authorization made by the Company board of directors in fiscal 2001. In addition, also during the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company’s board of directors authorized a new $25 million share repurchase program. Repurchases will be funded from the company’s cash and short-term investment balances. Under the programs, shares may be bought at management’s discretion from time to time, depending on market conditions, in open market transactions. The programs may be suspended or terminated at Entegris’ discretion.

 

As of May 28, 2005, the Company’s sources of available funds comprised $72.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, $91.4 million in short-term investments and various credit facilities. At May 28, 2005, Entegris has an unsecured revolving credit agreement with one domestic commercial bank with aggregate borrowing capacity of $10 million, with no borrowings outstanding at May 28, 2005 and lines of credit with nine international banks that provide for borrowings of currencies for the Company’s overseas subsidiaries, equivalent to an aggregate of approximately $17.0 million. There were no borrowings outstanding on these lines of credit at May 28, 2005.

 

Under the unsecured revolving credit agreement, the Company is subject to, and is in compliance with, certain financial covenants including a ratio requiring a leverage ratio of not more than 2.25 to 1.00. In addition, the Company must maintain a calculated consolidated tangible net worth, which, as of May 28, 2005, is $241 million, while also maintaining consolidated cash and short-term investments of not less than $75 million.

 

At May 28, 2005, the Company’s shareholders’ equity stood at $390.4 million compared to $372.2 million at the beginning of the year. The primary component of the increase was the Company’s net earnings of $17.3 million.

 

The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, cash flow from operations and available credit facilities will be sufficient to meet its working capital and investment requirements for the next 12 months. However, future growth, including potential acquisitions, may require the Company to raise capital through additional equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that any such financing would be available on commercially acceptable terms.

 

On June 9, 2003, the Company announced that it had filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As amended, up to 25 million shares of the Company’s common stock may be offered from time to time under the registration statement, including 17.5 million newly issued shares by

Entegris and 7.5 million currently outstanding shares by certain shareholders of the Company. The Company stated that it would use the net proceeds from any future sale of new Entegris shares for general corporate purposes or to finance acquisitions. The Company would not receive any proceeds from any sale of shares by the selling shareholders. The shelf registration statement became effective as of May 19, 2004 and is effective for two years from that date.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Entegris’ principal market risks are sensitive to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s current exposure to interest rate fluctuations is not significant. Most of its long-term debt at May 28, 2005 carries fixed rates of interest. The Company’s cash equivalents and short-term investments are debt instruments with maturities of 12 months or less. A 100 basis point change in interest rates would potentially increase or decrease net income by approximately $1.0 million annually.

 

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with the sale of products in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. At May 28, 2005, the company was party to forward contracts to deliver Japanese yen, Euros and Taiwanese dollars with notional value of approximately $10.6 million, $2.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The cash flows and earnings of foreign-based operations are also subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. A hypothetical 10% change in the foreign currency exchange rates would potentially increase or decrease net income by approximately $3.3 million.

 

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions’ rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of May 28, 2005, and based on its evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective.

 

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation described above, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

In September 2002, Lucent Technologies, Inc. and its insurers named the Company as one of several defendants in an action filed in circuit court in Orange County, Florida for damages arising from a chemical spill at its facility in January 2000. In late February of 2005, Lucent served a demand increasing its requested damages from the Company to $35 million in addition to plaintiffs’ demand for punitive damages. This case is currently scheduled for trial in September of 2005. While the outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with any certainty, based on the information to date, the Company believes that it has valid defenses to the claims and does not believe that the matter will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, operating results or cash flows. Accordingly, no amount has been accrued in the consolidated financial statements for such claim.

 

The Company does have insurance coverage that may apply to plaintiff’s claims, other than claims for punitive damages. The insurer having the largest exposure for payment of covered claims is no longer issuing new insurance and has filed a commercial run-off plan with the Illinois Division of Insurance. The Illinois Division of Insurance has substantial discretion to control the insurer. Consequently, these circumstances could possibly prevent payment by that insurer of some or all of its covered claims. For these reasons, the Company cannot give absolute assurance as to what portion of the plaintiffs’ claims, if sustained, would be satisfied by insurance coverage.
