Entegris Reports Results for First Quarter

Apr 27, 2010 at 6:00 AM EDT

BILLERICA, Mass., April 27, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entegris, Inc. (Nasdaq:ENTG) today reported its financial results for the Company's first quarter ended April 3, 2010.

The Company recorded first-quarter sales of $160.5 million and net income of $16.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted share. These results included amortization of intangible assets of $4.3 million. The Company reported sales of $59.0 million and a loss of $0.34 per share in the first quarter a year ago and sales of $146.3 million and net income of $0.08 per share in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Non-GAAP EPS in the first quarter of 2010 was $0.15 per diluted share, which compared to a non-GAAP loss per share of $0.26 in the first quarter a year ago. A reconciliation table of GAAP to non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share is contained in this press release.

Gideon Argov, president and chief executive officer, said: "Our first-quarter sales growth reflected continued positive trends in our core semiconductor markets. Utilization rates and production levels at our semiconductor fab customers remained at high levels, and capital spending in the industry continued to be robust.  

"We were very pleased with our operating performance in the quarter, which reflects the positive impact of the structural cost reductions we put in place during the past year.  Our manufacturing execution in the quarter was excellent and contributed to first-quarter operating margin of 16.5 percent of sales, excluding amortization. This is above our target model and well above what we would have achieved in previous quarters on comparable revenue," Argov said.

In the first quarter, the Company generated $28 million in cash from operations, reduced its debt by $20.4 million, and ended the quarter with a cash balance of $22.1 million, net of debt.

Segment Information (table of results contained at the end of this release)

Contamination Control Solutions (CCS) sales in the first quarter increased 8 percent sequentially, primarily driven by sales of fluid-handling components and gas purification systems used in semiconductor and microelectronics manufacturing equipment. Demand for filtration products remained strong through the quarter.  

First-quarter sales of Microenvironments (ME) product increased 10 percent from the fourth quarter, driven by sales of wafer process products for semiconductor wafers and data storage shippers. 

Specialty Materials sales in the first quarter rose 23 percent sequentially, driven by a continued rebound in sales of specialty coated and graphite-based components used in semiconductor manufacturing. Sales of Specialty Materials products to markets other than the semiconductor industry improved modestly.

Non-GAAP Information

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA 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 SEC. These financial measures are provided as a complement to financial measures provided in accordance with GAAP. We provide non-GAAP financial measures in order to better assess and reflect operating performance. Management believes the non-GAAP measures help indicate our baseline performance before certain gains, losses or other charges that may not be indicative of our business or future outlook. We believe these non-GAAP measures will aid investors' overall understanding of our results by providing a higher degree of transparency for certain expenses and providing a level of disclosure that will help investors understand how we plan and measure our business. The presentation of non-GAAP measures is not meant to be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures or information provided in accordance with GAAP. The calculations of Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Operating Income, and non-GAAP EPS are included elsewhere in this release.
