Entegris Reports Results for First Quarter of Fiscal 2007

CHASKA, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 2007--Entegris, Inc. (Nasdaq: ENTG) today reported its financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended March 31, 2007. Highlights for the quarter included:

-- Sales of $161.1 million

-- Non-GAAP operating margin of 11.4%

-- Diluted EPS of $0.08

-- Diluted Non-GAAP EPS of $0.11

-- Cash balance of $305 million, a quarter-to-quarter increase of $30 million

First-quarter sales from continuing operations were $161.1 million, versus $157.7 million for the same period a year ago and $169.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. First-quarter GAAP net income was $10.4 million, or $0.08 per fully diluted share. This result includes total pretax stock-based compensation of $3.1 million, or $0.02 per fully diluted share after tax, of which $0.7 million was for integration-related stock-based compensation.

On a non-GAAP basis, first-quarter income from continuing operations was $14.8 million, or $0.11 per fully diluted share. These results include $1.7 million of severance costs related to a reduction in manufacturing workforce and fixed overhead. The non-GAAP result is adjusted to exclude the after-tax effects of merger-related and other restructuring charges. On a pre-tax basis, the adjustments include restructuring charges of $0.4 million, integration expense of $1.9 million, merger-related amortization expense of $3.5 million, and integration-related stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided elsewhere in this release.

Gideon Argov, president and chief executive officer, said: "Most of our business held up well in the face of an anticipated softening across the semiconductor industry as well as seasonal slowness in demand for our data storage products. Unit-driven and capital driven sales were 58 percent and 42 percent, respectively, of total sales. Our first-quarter operating results reflected steps to trim our manufacturing workforce to align with the current industry outlook, as well as increased investments to accelerate key new product initiatives."

Argov added: "We are pleased with the initial sales of our new Clarilite Certified solution for reducing reticle haze for advanced lithography processes. This solution further demonstrates our ability to help customers solve challenging contamination issues, which is critical to their successful transition to 65 and 45 nanometer processes."

The Company ended the quarter with $304.9 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, up $30.0 million from the previous quarter. "Even in this somewhat softer industry environment, we are committed to using our strong cash flow and financial position to increase our returns to shareholders," Argov said.

Outlook

For its fiscal second quarter ending June 30, 2007, the Company currently expects sales to be approximately $155 million to $162 million. GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to range from $0.08 to $0.10. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to range from approximately $0.10 to $0.12, reflecting pretax adjustments for merger-related amortization expense of $3.5 million and integration-related stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.5 million.
