BILLERICA, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 2, 2023-- Entegris, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENTG), today reported its financial results for the Company’s third quarter ended September 30, 2023. Third-quarter sales were $888.2 million, a decrease of 11% from the same quarter last year. Third-quarter GAAP net income was $33.2 million, or $0.22 income per diluted share, which included $15.9 million of goodwill impairment related to the sale of the Electronic Chemicals business, $51.2 million of amortization of intangible assets, $10.3 million of integration costs related to the acquisition of CMC Materials and $5.7 million of other net costs. Non-GAAP net income was $103.6 million for the third quarter and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share was $0.68.

Bertrand Loy, Entegris’ president and chief executive officer, said: “The Entegris team delivered another quarter of solid results and execution, in what remains a challenging industry environment. Our revenue was down 1 percent sequentially, in line with expectations, and we continued to enjoy growth in product lines that are of increasing importance to our customers.”

Mr. Loy added: “During the quarter, we made great progress on key commitments and initiatives. The CMC Materials integration is largely complete, we have divested three non-core businesses so far this year, and we are focused on improving our cash flow to rapidly pay down our outstanding debt. In addition, last week, we submitted an application for Chips Act funding for our new Colorado Springs facility, which will be critical to strengthen the U.S. domestic semiconductor ecosystem.”

Mr. Loy added: "The semiconductor industry has likely reached a bottom in terms of utilization rates. However, the timing of the industry recovery continues to be uncertain. In this environment, we are effectively managing costs in the short-term, while making critical investments for the future. The long-term growth prospects for the semiconductor industry remain intact and the industry is entering a period of unprecedented technology change and device complexity. These trends are very favorable for Entegris, because our value proposition is unique and increasingly integral to our customers’ roadmaps, especially in the areas of materials science, materials purity, and end-to-end solutions. This will ultimately translate into rapidly expanding content per wafer and superior growth for Entegris.”

Fourth-Quarter Outlook

The Company’s guidance for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2023, does not include the recently divested Electronic Chemicals business and only includes a minimal impact from the alliance agreement with Element Solutions, that was terminated earlier this year. Excluding the sales of these divested businesses for the third quarter 2023, fourth quarter 2023 sales are estimated to be down sequentially approximately 2% at the midpoint of the fourth quarter 2023 sales guidance range provided below.

For the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2023, the Company expects sales of $770 million to $790 million, GAAP net income of $37 million to $45 million and diluted earnings per common share between $0.25 and $0.30. On a non-GAAP basis, the Company expects diluted earnings per common share to range from $0.55 to $0.60, reflecting net income on a non-GAAP basis in the range of $83 million to $91 million. The Company also expects EBITDA of approximately 26% to 27% of sales, for the fourth 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.
