Filed July 27, 2021For Securities:ENTG

Summary

Entegris, Inc. reported strong financial results for the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2021, demonstrating significant year-over-year growth. Net sales increased by 27% and 26% respectively for the three and six-month periods compared to the prior year, driven by robust demand across all three operating segments: Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials (SCEM), Microcontamination Control (MC), and Advanced Materials Handling (AMH). This top-line growth translated into substantial improvements in profitability, with net income rising to $88.8 million ($0.65/diluted share) for the quarter and $173.4 million ($1.27/diluted share) for the half-year. The company successfully refinanced its debt, issuing new senior unsecured notes and using the proceeds to redeem older, higher-interest debt, which resulted in a one-time extinguishment loss but improved its debt profile and extended maturity. Despite a decrease in cash and cash equivalents from the prior year-end, primarily due to debt repayment and capital expenditures, the company maintains a healthy working capital position and sufficient liquidity to fund its operations and growth initiatives. Management expressed confidence in the company's ability to navigate potential economic uncertainties.

Entegris issued $400 million in new 3.625% senior unsecured notes due 2029 and used the proceeds to redeem $550 million of its 4.625% senior unsecured notes due 2026. While this resulted in a one-time loss on extinguishment of debt of $23.1 million, it improved the company's debt maturity profile and potentially lowered future interest expenses.

Entegris believes it is well-positioned with its current cash reserves and anticipated operating cash flows to meet its financial obligations for the next twelve months and longer term. Despite a decrease in cash and cash equivalents to $401.0 million from $580.9 million at year-end 2020 (largely due to debt repayment and capital expenditures), the company maintains healthy working capital and has access to its revolving credit facility, providing ample liquidity.

Entegris is increasing its investment in Engineering, Research & Development (ER&D), which grew by 29% year-over-year in Q2 2021.
