Entegris Reports Results for Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2006



    Entegris, Inc. (Nasdaq: ENTG), a global leader in materials
    integrity management, today reported its financial results for the
    fiscal fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2006.

    Fourth-quarter sales from continuing operations were $169.1
    million, versus $171.3 million in the third quarter and up 15 percent
    from $147.1 million for the same period a year ago. GAAP net income
    was $16.1 million, or $0.12 per fully diluted share. This result
    includes total pretax stock-based compensation of $3.0 million, or
    $0.02 per fully diluted share after tax, of which $0.9 million was for
    integration-related stock-based compensation.

    On a non-GAAP basis, fourth-quarter income from continuing
    operations was $21.1 million, or $0.16 per fully diluted share. The
    non-GAAP result is adjusted to exclude the after-tax effects of
    merger-related and other restructuring charges. On a pre-tax basis,
    the adjustments include restructuring charges of $0.6 million,
    integration expense of $0.6 million, merger-related amortization
    expense of $3.5 million, and integration-related stock-based
    compensation expense of $0.9 million. A reconciliation of GAAP to
    non-GAAP results is provided elsewhere in this release.

    For the year ended December 31, 2006, sales from continuing
    operations totaled $678.7 million, versus $442.8 million for the prior
    year. GAAP net income was $63.5 million, or $0.46 per fully diluted
    share. On a non-GAAP basis, income from continuing operations for
    fiscal 2006 was $86.0 million, or $0.62 per fully diluted share.

    Gideon Argov, president and chief executive officer, said: "While
    there were signs of softening in the industry, fourth-quarter sales
    remained firm and reflected strong sales of our liquid systems.
    Earnings per share exceeded our guidance, as lower selling, general,
    and administrative expenses and a favorable tax rate offset a lower
    gross margin. The fourth-quarter gross margin was impacted by
    manufacturing inefficiencies identified after a comprehensive review
    of all our operations worldwide. With this review completed, we are
    confident we have aggressively addressed the causes of these
    inefficiencies."

    "All in all, it was a solid year for Entegris," said Argov. "Our
    strong balance sheet and cash flow allows us to continue to invest in
    technologies that address our semiconductor customers' contamination
    control issues and meet their materials handling needs, which are
    critical to their successful transition to 65 and 45 nanometer
    processes." The Company ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents,
    and short-term investments of $275.0 million, up $46.5 million from
    the third quarter.

    Outlook

    For its first fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2007, the Company
    currently expects sales to be flat to down 5 percent sequentially, or
    approximately $161 million to $169 million. GAAP net income per
    diluted share is expected to range from $0.08 to $0.11. Non-GAAP net
    income is expected to range from approximately $15 million to $19
    million, reflecting pretax adjustments for integration and
    restructuring charges of approximately $2.0 million, merger-related
    amortization expense of $3.5 million, and integration-related
    stock-based compensation expense of approximately $0.7 million.
    Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is expected to range from $0.11
    to $0.14.
