  • Record fourth-quarter revenue of $308.5 million

BILLERICA, Mass., Feb. 02, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entegris, Inc. (Nasdaq:ENTG), a leader in specialty chemicals and advanced materials solutions for the microelectronics industry, today reported its financial results for the Company’s fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

The Company reported sales of $1.2 billion for the 2016 fiscal year, an increase of 9 percent from the prior year.  Net income for fiscal 2016 was $97.1 million, or $0.68 per share, which included amortization of intangible assets of $44.3 million, asset impairment charges of $5.8 million related to certain production equipment and $2.4 million of severance expenses related to an organizational realignment.  In the prior year, net income was $80.3 million, or $0.57 per share, which included amortization of intangible assets of $47.3 million and acquisition integration expenses of $12.7 million.  Non-GAAP net income for fiscal 2016 was $132.8 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, which increased from $120.6 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, in the prior year.

Fourth-quarter sales were $308.5 million, an increase of 16 percent from the same quarter last year and a 4 percent increase sequentially.  Fourth-quarter net income was $26.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, which included amortization of intangible assets of $10.9 million.  Non-GAAP net income was $34.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share.  In the fourth quarter, the Company generated cash from operations less capital expenditures, or free cash flow, of $37.1 million.

Bertrand Loy, president and chief executive officer, said: "The strong results in the fourth quarter capped a record year in which we grew revenue 9 percent organically, well in excess of our markets. This performance demonstrates that our investments in R&D and innovation over the past few years are paying off, allowing us to expand our served markets and grow our market share. In 2016, we also achieved record non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.94 and generated an adjusted EBITDA of $264 million, an increase of 13 percent from the prior year.  This is an all-time high and essentially twice the level we generated prior to the ATMI acquisition in 2014."

"In the fourth quarter, we achieved sales growth above our expectations driven in part by a rebound in our specialty gas products and record demand of our microfiltration, wafer handling, and advanced deposition solutions."

Mr. Loy added: "We believe the industry is in the midst of a multi-year period of wafer growth driven by the ramp of new technologies and expanding end-market demand for semiconductors.  New materials are becoming increasingly important to deliver better semiconductor performance and we believe our broad portfolio of solutions puts us in an excellent position to holistically address our customers' needs for materials performance, purity and stability throughout their supply chains and manufacturing processes."
