FOR RELEASE — Thursday, November 2, 2006 at 7:30 a.m. ET

Entegris Reports Results for Fiscal Third Quarter of 2006

CHASKA (Minneapolis), Minn., November 2, 2006 – Entegris, Inc. (Nasdaq: ENTG), a global leader in materials integrity management, today reported its financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended September 30, 2006. Sales from continuing operations were $171.3 million, versus sales of $121.3 million for the comparable three-month period a year ago and $180.7 million for the quarter ended July 1, 2006.

Third-quarter GAAP net income was $17.8 million, or $0.13 per diluted share. This result includes total pretax stock-based compensation of $3.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share after tax, of which $1.1 million was for integration-related stock-based compensation.

On a non-GAAP basis, third-quarter net income from continuing operations was $21.9 million, or $0.16 per fully diluted share. The non-GAAP result is adjusted for merger-related and other restructuring charges. These pretax adjustments include restructuring charges of $0.3 million, integration expense of $0.9 million, merger-related amortization expense of $3.5 million, and integration-related stock-based compensation expense of $1.1 million. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided elsewhere in this release.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, sales from continuing operations were $509.6 million and GAAP net income was $47.4 million, or $0.34 per fully diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, net income from continuing operations for the first nine months of the year was $64.9 million, or $0.46 per fully diluted share.

“Sales for the third quarter remained at healthy levels, despite signs of softening in the semiconductor industry. Unit-driven sales, which were 61 percent of total sales, were about even with the June quarter, reflecting continuing demand for our liquid filtration products used for advanced semiconductor applications, as well as for our wafer and disk shippers,” said Gideon Argov, president and chief executive officer of Entegris. “Capital-driven sales, which were 39 percent of total sales, declined as expected from a particularly strong second quarter, which had been boosted by higher-than-average sales levels of our liquid systems. Sales of our gas microcontamination control products, which are increasingly being used in leading-edge lithography applications, reached an all-time high for the sixth consecutive quarter.”


Argov added: “We achieved an operating margin on an adjusted basis of 16.7 percent, but our success in controlling our operating costs and the benefits from the full realization of merger-related cost synergies were partially offset by a lower-than-expected gross margin, caused primarily by isolated manufacturing inefficiencies at a North American facility as well as by lower production levels.

“Our strong balance sheet and cash flow allow us to pursue key growth initiatives in our core markets as well as to repurchase our shares,” Argov said. The Company ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $228.5 million, which reflects the execution in September 2006 of a $100 million accelerated stock buyback program that is part of the Company’s $150 million stock buyback authorization announced in August 2006.

Third-quarter EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) was $35.5 million, reflecting non-GAAP operating income of $28.5 million, depreciation of approximately $5.9 million, and non-merger-related amortization of approximately $1.1 million.

Outlook

For its fourth fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2006, the Company currently expects sales of approximately $155 million to $163 million. GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to range from $0.09 to $0.12. Non-GAAP net income is expected to range from approximately $15 million to $19 million, reflecting pretax adjustments for integration and restructuring charges of approximately $1.0 million, merger-related amortization expense of $3.5 million, and integration-related stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.9 million. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to range from $0.11 to $0.14.

Third-Quarter Results Conference Call Details

Entegris will hold a conference call to discuss its third-quarter results on Thursday, November 2, 2006, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Participants should dial 1-800-811-0667 (domestic callers) or 1-913-981-4901 (for callers outside the U.S.); all callers should use passcode 5377248. A replay of the call can be accessed at 1-719-457-0820 using the same passcode. The call will also be webcast on the investor relations portion of the Entegris website at www.entegris.com.

EBITDA AND NON-GAAP DISCUSSION

The financial results discussed in this release include references to a non-GAAP measure called “EBITDA,” which is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. We believe this measure provides relevant and useful information to our investors since it provides a meaningful view of the Company’s ongoing operating results and as such is one of the measures used by management to assess the Company’s financial results and cash flow. We intend to continue to use this measure in the future, particularly since we expect the active exploration and selective pursuit of mergers and acquisitions to continue to be a key part of our growth and value-creation strategy. EBITDA should be considered in conjunction with, not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. EBITDA, as we have defined it, may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies.


In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP), the Company also discloses non-GAAP results of operations that exclude certain expenses and charges. These non-GAAP results are provided as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP in order to provide investors with relevant and useful information about the Company’s ongoing operations. As such, non-GAAP information primarily excludes expenses and charges resulting from purchase accounting and integration activities associated with the Company’s August 2005 merger with Mykrolis Corporation. Earnings guidance for the quarter ending December 31, 2006 is disclosed on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information discussed in this release is contained in the attached exhibits and on the Company’s website at www.entegris.com.
