Frequently Asked Questions

The primary driver of Entegris's revenue growth was strong demand across all three of its business segments: Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials (SCEM), Microcontamination Control (MC), and Advanced Materials Handling (AMH). This growth was supported by robust industry expansion and increased wafer production for leading-edge semiconductor solutions.

Entegris is financing the acquisition of CMC Materials through a combination of sources. This includes the issuance of $1.6 billion in 4.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2029, commitments for a $4.0 billion Term Loan B Facility, an $895.0 million Bridge Facility, and increased revolving credit commitments. Cash on hand will also be utilized.

Entegris believes its existing cash balances, anticipated operating cash flows, and access to capital markets are sufficient to meet its cash needs for the next twelve months and longer term. The company plans to use its cash flow for working capital, capital expenditures, and debt service obligations. Significant cash will also be deployed for the CMC Materials acquisition.

Entegris saw an improvement in its gross margin to 47.7% from 45.8% year-over-year, driven by strong execution and higher volumes. However, the company noted some offset from raw material, logistics, and modest labor inflation. Operating expenses, including SG&A and R&D, also increased as planned and to support growth and strategic initiatives like the CMC Materials acquisition.
