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.
