BILLERICA, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 25, 2018-- Entegris, Inc. (NasdaqGS: ENTG), a leader in specialty chemicals and advanced materials solutions for the microelectronics industry, today reported its financial results for the Company’s third quarter ended September 29, 2018.

Third-quarter sales were $398.6 million, an increase of 15% from the same quarter last year and a 4% increase sequentially. Third-quarter net income was $48.1 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, which included $21.4 million of amortization of intangible assets, a $3.3 million charge for fair value write-up of acquired inventory sold, a $2.6 million net tax effect related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, $0.8 million of integration costs and transaction expenses associated with the purchase of SAES Pure Gas and $0.5 million of a loss on the sale of a cleaning services business based in France. Non-GAAP net income of $65.6 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, both increased 15%, compared to the third quarter of 2017.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2018, sales of $1.1 billion increased 16% from the same period a year ago. For the first nine months of 2018, net income was $160.0 million, or $1.12 per share, which included $45.1 million of amortization of intangible assets, a $0.4 million net tax effect related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, $7.1 million of integration costs and transaction expenses associated with the purchase of SAES Pure Gas, a $3.5 million charge for fair value write-up of acquired inventory sold, and $0.5 million of a loss on the sale of a cleaning services business based in France. Non-GAAP net income for the first nine months of 2018 of $203.5 million, or $1.42 per diluted share, both increased 39% compared to the first nine months of 2017.

Bertrand Loy, president and chief executive officer, said: "In the third quarter we demonstrated the value and resilience of our broad unit driven business platform, as we achieved record sales and delivered solid performance in a mixed environment. Our recent acquisition of SAES Pure Gas is performing well and its sales have exceeded our expectations during the quarter, reflecting key secular demand drivers for higher process purity."

Mr. Loy added: "Our unique capability to address the industry's increasing materials complexity and purity challenges is driving our long-term growth prospects and our ability to outperform the market. For the full year 2018 we expect to leverage our sales growth of approximately 15 percent into growth of our non-GAAP earnings per share of approximately 30 percent."

Non-GAAP Information
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Segment Profit, 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 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 uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making, as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons, as well as comparisons to our competitors' operating results. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our recurring business operating results, such as amortization, depreciation and discrete cash charges that are infrequent in nature. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing and understanding our results and performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) they are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze our business. The reconciliations of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA, and GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Non-GAAP Earnings per Share are included elsewhere in this release.
