CHASKA, Minn., Feb. 12, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Entegris, Inc. (Nasdaq:ENTG) today reported its financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007. Highlights for the quarter included:
* Sales of $161.3 million, up 6% sequentially * EPS of $0.09 * Non-GAAP EPS of $0.14 * Inventories declined $8.0 million * Cash flow from operations in excess of $25 million
Fourth-quarter sales were $161.3 million, versus $167.3 million for the prior-year period and $151.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2007.
Fourth-quarter net income was $10.8 million, or $0.09 per diluted share. Fourth-quarter net income was favorably impacted by an $8.0 million tax benefit related to the previously announced intercompany dividend from the Company's Japanese subsidiary. On a non-GAAP basis, fourth-quarter net income was $16.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share. The non-GAAP result is adjusted to exclude the effect of merger-related and other restructuring charges. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided elsewhere in this release. The fourth-quarter results include total pretax stock-based compensation of $1.9 million, or $0.01 per diluted share.
Sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 were $626.2 million. Net income was $44.4 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, which included a loss from discontinued operations of $2.0 million. On a non-GAAP basis, net income was $59.8 million, or $0.48 per diluted share.
Gideon Argov, president and chief executive officer, said: "Sales trends in the fourth quarter remained strong through the end of December, despite signs of slowing capital spending in the semiconductor industry. The growth in the quarter was reflected in both our unit-driven products and capital-driven products. Sales of consumable filtration products and gas microcontamination products reflected demands from our customers for yield and productivity enhancement through sophisticated contamination control."
Argov added: "Ending inventory of $73 million was reduced by $8 million in the quarter and $20 million for the full year. The inventory reduction contributed to strong cash flow for the quarter, but negatively impacted our gross margin due to the lower production levels."
For fiscal 2007, the Company generated over $125 million in cash from operations and ended the quarter with $161 million of cash and cash equivalents.
Outlook
"Looking forward to 2008, indications are that capital spending in the industry will be soft at least through the first half of the year. Accordingly, we expect sales for the first quarter ending March 29, 2008 to be approximately $142 million to $150 million. Given the anticipated revenue levels in the first quarter and the general uncertainty in the industry and the economy, we are taking steps to reduce our costs. Excluding any impact from these cost reduction measures, we expect GAAP net income per diluted share in the first quarter to range from $0.03 to $0.05," Argov said.
The Company indicated that beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 it will no longer report its results on a non-GAAP basis.
