Entegris Reports Second Quarter Results

CHASKA, Minn., Jul 22, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Entegris, Inc. (Nasdaq:ENTG) today reported its financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended June 27, 2009.

The Company recorded second-quarter sales of $82.6 million and a net loss of $22.5 million, or $0.20 per share. These results included amortization of intangible assets of $4.9 million and restructuring charges of $5.5 million. The company reported sales of $59.0 million in the first quarter ended March 29, 2009 and sales of $147.9 million in the second quarter a year ago.

Gideon Argov, president and chief executive officer, said: "Our second-quarter results rebounded sharply from the severely depressed levels we experienced in the first quarter of this year, driven primarily by increased demand for our unit-driven liquid filtration and wafer shipping products used in the manufacturing of semiconductors and other electronics products.

"The higher sales, combined with the permanent and temporary cost reductions we implemented in the first quarter, contributed to a significant narrowing of our second-quarter operating loss. Our EBITDA loss for purposes of our bank covenants improved from $15.9 million in the first quarter to $4.3 million in the second quarter, and was well below the $45 million cumulative EBITDA loss allowed for under our bank covenants. We expect that with current business trends we are in the position to generate positive EBITDA beginning in the third quarter," Argov said.

In the second quarter, total funded debt was $151.7 million, reflecting a decrease of $13.4 million from the first quarter. The Company's ending cash balance was $84.1 million.

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

Contamination Control Solutions sales increased 39 percent sequentially from the first quarter of 2009. The growth reflected increased demand for liquid filtration products and chemical containers, which was driven by increased semiconductor fab utilization rates, particularly in Asia.

Microenvironments product sales increased 78 percent sequentially from the first quarter of 2009. The growth was primarily due to improved demand for wafer shippers needed to support increased production in the semiconductor industry.

Entegris Specialty Materials sales decreased 12 percent sequentially from the first quarter of 2009. The decline related to softening in the non-semiconductor portions of the Entegris Specialty Materials business, which are sensitive to broader industrial market demand trends that have lagged the second-quarter upturn in the unit-driven semiconductor business.
