Filed October 29, 2015For Securities:ENTG

Summary

Entegris Inc. (ENTG) reported a return to profitability in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, a significant improvement from a net loss in the prior-year period. This turnaround was largely driven by the inclusion of results from the ATMI acquisition, which was completed in April 2014. While net sales saw a slight decline year-over-year, primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency translation effects, operational improvements and the absence of certain acquisition-related charges in the prior year contributed to a substantial increase in gross profit and a return to net income. For the nine-month period, net sales increased significantly due to the ATMI acquisition, with organic growth also contributing. The company demonstrated effective cost management, with a notable decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses. Entegris also focused on debt reduction, making substantial payments on its term loan facility. The company maintains a solid liquidity position, with sufficient cash and access to its revolving credit facility to meet its obligations for the next twelve months.
