BILLERICA, Mass., July 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Entegris, Inc. (NasdaqGS: ENTG), a leading specialty materials provider, today reported its financial results for the Company's second quarter ended July 1, 2017.

Second-quarter sales were $329.0 million, an increase of 8.6% from the same quarter last year and a 3.7% increase sequentially. Second-quarter net income was $40.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, which included amortization of intangible assets of $11.0 million, as well as an asset impairment charge and severance expense of $3.6 million. Non-GAAP net income was $48.9 million, or $0.34 per diluted share.

For the first half of fiscal 2017, sales of $646.4 million increased 13.4% from the same period a year ago. First-half 2017 net income was $72.5 million, or $0.51 per share, which included amortization of intangible assets of $22.0 million, as well as an asset impairment charge and severance expense of $3.6 million. Non-GAAP net income for the first half of 2017 was $89.7 million, or $0.63 per diluted share.

Bertrand Loy, president and chief executive officer, said: "I am very pleased with Entegris' performance thus far this year which puts us on a solid path to grow well in excess of our markets in 2017. Our growth in the second-quarter was driven by positive industry trends and reflected strong performance across our portfolio of solutions, as well as successful product introductions to support the ongoing ramp of advanced semiconductor manufacturing technologies such as 3D NAND. Our first-half sales grew 13% from the prior year, driven by strong growth in Asia, particularly in Korea."

Mr. Loy added: "The quality of our execution and financial performance in the second quarter demonstrates the strength of our business model and our operating leverage, as we generated strong cash flow from operations and achieved an adjusted EBITDA of $88.2 million, or 26.8% of sales."

Non-GAAP Information
The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Segment Profit, and Adjusted Operating Income together with related measures thereof, and non-GAAP EPS, are considered "Non-GAAP financial measures" under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making, as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons, as well as comparisons to our competitors' operating results. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our recurring business operating results, such as amortization, depreciation and discrete cash charges that are infrequent in nature. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing and understanding our results and performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) they are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze our business. The reconciliations of GAAP Net Income to Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA, GAAP Gross Profit to Adjusted Gross Profit, GAAP Segment Profit to Adjusted Operating Income, and GAAP to Non-GAAP Earnings per Share are included elsewhere in this release.
