CHASKA, Minn. and MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 29, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Entegris, Inc. (Nasdaq:ENTG) today reported its financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended September 29, 2007. Highlights for the quarter included:
* Sales of $151.8 million * Net income per share of $0.07 * Modified gross margin improved 100 basis points to 43.7 percent * Non-GAAP operating margin of 11.1 percent * Non-GAAP EPS of $0.10 * Cash flow from operations of $25.1 million
Third-quarter sales were $151.8 million, versus $169.9 million for the prior-year period and $153.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2007.
Third-quarter net income was $8.4 million, or $0.07 per fully diluted share, which includes a loss from discontinued operations of $0.5 million net of tax. On a non-GAAP basis, third-quarter net income was $11.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share. The non-GAAP result is adjusted to exclude the effects of merger-related and other restructuring charges. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided elsewhere in this release. The third-quarter results include total pretax stock-based compensation of $2.9 million, or $0.02 per fully diluted share, of which $0.4 million represents integration-related stock-based compensation expense.
Sales for the nine months ended September 29, 2007, were $464.9 million. Net income was $33.6 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, which includes a loss from discontinued operations of $1.6 million. On a non-GAAP basis, net income was $40.3 million, or $0.31 per diluted share.
Gideon Argov, president and chief executive officer, said: "We are pleased with our results for the third quarter, particularly in light of current industry conditions. Sales of unit-driven products, which were 61 percent of total third-quarter sales, were up from the second quarter. Sales of our capital spending-driven products, which were 39 percent of sales, declined 5 percent from the prior quarter, reflecting reduced industry spending."
Argov added: "Our third-quarter operating margin improved despite slightly lower sales. We also generated $25 million in cash from operations even as we continued to invest in key product, market, and manufacturing initiatives. With one of the broadest lines of innovative contamination control solutions in our markets, we believe our largely unit-driven business model provides a solid platform to maximize profitability and cash flow through the industry cycle."
Through the first nine months of fiscal 2007, the Company generated $99.2 million in cash from operations and ended the quarter with $125.9 million of cash and cash equivalents.
In October 2007, the Company initiated a series of transactions in the form of inter-company dividends and loans from its Japanese subsidiary that will allow approximately $100 million of its cash balances outside the U.S. to be used to support the Company's business development activity as well as potential stock repurchases. Of the $100 million, approximately $70 million relates to cash on hand and $30 million is to be funded by low-interest loans from Japanese banks. These transactions will likely result in an estimated $10 million U.S. tax benefit in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.
Outlook
For its fourth quarter ending December 31, 2007, the Company expects sales to be approximately $144 million to $152 million. Net income per diluted share is expected to range from $0.05 to $0.07, excluding any impact from the inter-company dividend. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to range from approximately $0.07 to $0.10, excluding any impact from the inter-company dividend. Non-GAAP net income per share amounts reflect pretax adjustments for merger-related amortization expense of $3.9 million and integration-related stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.3 million.
