CHASKA, Minn., April 30, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Entegris, Inc. (Nasdaq:ENTG) today reported its financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended March 29, 2008. First-quarter sales were $148.2 million, versus $159.6 million for the same period a year ago and $161.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.
First-quarter net income was $1.1 million, or $0.01 per fully diluted share, which included severance charges of $3.8 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, related to cost-reduction measures. First-quarter results also included amortization expense of $5.1 million, or $0.04 per diluted share.
Gideon Argov, president and chief executive officer, said: "Capital spending trends in the semiconductor industry slowed as expected in the first quarter and contributed to lower revenues on a sequential basis, even with the favorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar on sales. Although industry conditions were soft, we executed well on a number of key ongoing initiatives and held our gross margin even with the fourth-quarter level despite lower volume."
Argov continued: "Unit-driven sales, which include filtration and shipper products, declined 4 percent sequentially and represented 64 percent of total sales in the first quarter. Sales of capital-driven products, including wafer carriers and liquid systems, were down 14 percent from the fourth quarter and represented 36 percent of total first-quarter sales."
Argov added: "With our business expected to be flat in the second quarter as compared to the first quarter, we took steps to lower our operating costs by approximately $12 million on an annualized basis. Even with these reductions, we are continuing to invest in new products and markets to address the growing need for our advanced contamination control and microenvironment solutions."
Outlook
For its fiscal second quarter ending June 30, 2008, the Company currently expects sales to be $144 million to $152 million. Net income per diluted share is expected to range from $0.04 to $0.06.
