ENTEGRIS INC Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2012

Filed July 27, 2012For Securities:ENTG

Summary

Entegris Inc. reported a decrease in net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the prior year, reflecting a slowdown in the semiconductor industry. While second quarter sales showed a sequential improvement, year-over-year performance was impacted by reduced semiconductor industry spending that began in late 2011 and unfavorable foreign currency translation effects. Despite lower sales, the company managed operating costs effectively, with SG&A expenses declining. However, gross margin decreased due to lower factory utilization and a less favorable sales mix. Net income attributable to Entegris, Inc. and diluted EPS were significantly lower than the prior year. The company maintained a strong liquidity position with substantial cash and cash equivalents and no outstanding debt. Management expects current liquidity to be sufficient for the next twelve months.
