NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations Entegris, Inc. (Entegris or the Company) is a leading provider of yield-enhancing materials and solutions for advanced manufacturing processes in the semiconductor and other high-technology industries.
Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, particularly receivables, inventories, property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangibles, accrued expenses, and income taxes and related accounts, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and contain all adjustments considered necessary, and are of a normal recurring nature, to present fairly the financial position as of April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the results of operations and comprehensive income for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015, and cash flows for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015.
The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and notes. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis and consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The results of operations for the three months ended April 2, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued payroll and related benefits, and other accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to the short maturity of those items. The fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities, based upon models utilizing market observable (Level 2) inputs and credit risk, was $663.2 million at April 2, 2016 compared to the carrying amount of long-term debt, including current maturities, of $656.6 million.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU No. 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective beginning January 1, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition approach.

On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs which requires an entity to present debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability on the balance sheet. The update represents a change in accounting principle and required retrospective application. The update became effective January 1, 2016. Based on the balances as of December 31, 2015, the Company reclassified $11.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs from other current assets and other noncurrent assets to long-term debt per the adoption of ASU No. 2015-03.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU No. 2016-02 requires the identification of arrangements that should be accounted for as leases by lessees. In general, for lease arrangements exceeding a twelve-month term, these arrangements must now be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of the lessee. Under ASU No. 2016-02, a right-of-use asset and lease obligation will be recorded for all leases, whether operating or financing, while the income statement will reflect lease expense for operating leases, and amortization and interest expense for financing leases. The balance sheet amount recorded for existing leases at the date of adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 must be calculated using

7

Table of Contents

the applicable incremental borrowing rate at the date of adoption. In addition, ASU 2016-02 requires the use of the modified retrospective method, which will require adjustment to all comparative periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures, and the timing of adoption.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718). ASU No. 2016-09 identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures, and the timing of adoption.

In the first quarter of 2015, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $0.5 million related to an available-for-sale common stock investment classified in short-term investments in its condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company determined that it was an other-than-temporary impairment due to the significant decline in the fair value compared to the investment's carrying value for an extended period of time and the financial condition of the issuer.
6. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company reports its financial performance based on two reportable segments: Critical Materials Handling (CMH) and Electronic Materials (EM). The manager of CMH and EM is accountable for results at the segment profit level and reports directly to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is responsible for evaluating companywide performance and resource allocation decisions between the product groups. The Company's two reportable segments are business divisions that provide unique products and services.

10


CMH: provides a broad range of products that filter, handle, dispense, and protect critical materials used in the semiconductor manufacturing process and in other high-technology manufacturing. CMH’s products and subsystems include high-purity materials packaging, fluid handling and dispensing systems and liquid filters as well as microenvironment products that protect critical substrates such as wafers during shipping and manufacturing. CMH also provides specialized graphite components and specialty coatings for high-temperature applications.
EM: provides high-performance materials, materials packaging and materials delivery systems that enable high yield, cost effective semiconductor manufacturing. EM’s products consist of specialized chemistries and performance materials, gas microcontamination control systems and components, and sub-atmospheric pressure gas delivery systems for the safe and efficient handling of hazardous gases to semiconductor process equipment.
Inter-segment sales are not significant. Segment profit is defined as net sales less direct segment operating expenses, excluding certain unallocated expenses, consisting mainly of general and administrative costs for the Company’s human resources, finance and information technology functions as well as interest expense, and amortization of intangible assets.

Summarized financial information for the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following tables.

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read along with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 as well as in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Overview
This overview is not a complete discussion of the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations; it is intended merely to facilitate an understanding of the most salient aspects of the Company's financial condition and operating performance and to provide a context for the detailed discussion and analysis that follows and must be read in its entirety in order to fully understand the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Entegris is a worldwide developer, manufacturer and supplier of yield-enhancing materials and solutions for advanced manufacturing processes in the semiconductor and other high-technology industries. Our products and materials are used to manufacture semiconductors, micro-electromechanical systems or MEMS, flat panel displays, light emitting diodes or “LEDs”, high-purity chemicals, such as photoresists, solar cells, gas lasers, optical and magnetic storage devices, and critical components for aerospace, glass manufacturing and biomedical applications. We sell our products worldwide through a direct sales force and through selected distributors.

We offer a diverse product portfolio that includes approximately 20,000 standard and customized products which include both unit driven and capital expense driven products. Unit-driven products now comprise approximately 80% of our combined sales, with the balance being capital driven products. Our unit-driven products are consumed or exhausted during the customer’s manufacturing process and rely on the level of semiconductor and other manufacturing activity to drive growth. Our unit-driven product class includes membrane-based liquid filters, resin-based gas purifiers, wafer shippers, disk-shipping containers and test assembly and packaging products, implant gas storage and delivery systems, copper electroplating materials, advanced precursor materials for thin film deposition and photoresist strip and post chemical mechanical planarization or CMP cleaning materials and consumable graphite and silicon carbide components. Capital expense driven products, which generally have a lifetime of 18 months or more, rely on the expansion of manufacturing capacity to drive growth and include our fluid management components, systems and subsystems that transfer, monitor, and control process liquids used in the semiconductor manufacturing processes, gas filtration and purification components, systems and subsystems that remove contaminants at equipment and factory level for manufacturing, our process carriers that protect the integrity of in-process wafers and graphite, silicon carbide and specialty coated components for manufacturing equipment.
The Company’s fiscal year is the calendar period ending each December 31. The Company’s fiscal quarters consist of 13-week or 14-week periods that end on Saturday. The Company’s fiscal quarters in 2016 end April 2, 2016, July 2, 2016, October 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016. Unaudited information for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015 and the financial position as of April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Forward-Looking Statements
The information in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, except for the historical information, contains forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and to the cautionary statement set forth above. These forward-looking statements could differ materially from actual results. The Company assumes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision or updates to these forward-looking statements to reflect future events or unanticipated occurrences. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, which are included elsewhere in this report.
Key operating factors Key factors, which management believes have the largest impact on the overall results of operations of Entegris include:
Level of sales Since a significant portion of the Company’s product costs (except for raw materials, purchased components and direct labor) are largely fixed in the short-to-medium term, an increase or decrease in sales affects gross profits and overall profitability significantly. Also, increases or decreases in sales and operating profitability

12

Table of Contents

affect certain costs such as incentive compensation and commissions, which are highly variable in nature. The Company’s sales are subject to the effects of industry cyclicality, technological change, substantial competition, pricing pressures and foreign currency fluctuation.
Variable margin on sales The Company’s variable margin on sales is determined by selling prices and the costs of manufacturing and raw materials. This is affected by a number of factors, which include the Company’s sales mix, purchase prices of raw material (especially polymers, membranes, stainless steel and purchased components), competition, both domestic and international, direct labor costs, and the efficiency of the Company’s production operations, among others.
Fixed cost structure. The Company’s operations include a number of large fixed or semi-fixed cost components, which include salaries, indirect labor and benefits, facility costs, lease expense, and depreciation and amortization. It is not possible to vary these costs easily in the short-term as volumes fluctuate. Accordingly, increases or decreases in sales volume can have a large effect on the usage and productivity of these cost components, resulting in a large impact on the Company’s profitability.
Overall Summary of Financial Results for the Three Months Ended April 2, 2016

For the three months ended April 2, 2016, net sales increased 1% to $267.0 million, compared to $263.4 million for the three months ended March 28, 2015. The Company's sales increase reflects nominally improved demand from the Company's semiconductor industry customers compared to the year-ago period, offset partly by a decrease in sales of certain specialty materials products. Unfavorable foreign currency translation effects were $0.8 million for the quarter. Exclusive of that factor, the Company's sales increased 2%,

Despite the net sales increase, the Company's gross profit fell slightly for the three months ended April 2, 2016, to $114.7 million, down from $116.5 million for the three months ended March 28, 2015. The Company experienced a 43.0% gross margin rate for the three months ended April 2, 2016 compared to 44.2% in the comparable year-ago period. The gross profit and gross margin shortfalls in 2016 were primarily associated with a slightly unfavorable sales mix, higher charges for excess and obsolete inventory, and an increase in qualification and start-up costs at the Company's i2M Center.

The Company's selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased by $2.9 million for the three months ended April 2, 2016 compared to the year-ago quarter, mainly due to the absence of $2.6 million in integration costs incurred in 2015 related to the April 30, 2014 acquisition of ATMI, Inc. (ATMI).

The Company incurred interest expense of $9.2 million for the quarter ended April 2, 2016 compared to $9.8 million in the three-month period ended March 28, 2015. The decrease reflects a year-over-year reduction in outstanding borrowings.

As a result of the aforementioned factors, the Company reported net income of $16.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the quarter ended April 2, 2016 compared to net income of $14.9 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, a year ago.
During the three-month period ended April 2, 2016, the Company’s operating activities provided cash flow of $17.3 million. Cash used for capital expenditures was $17.8 million. Cash and cash equivalents were $344.4 million at April 2, 2016 compared with cash and cash equivalents of $349.8 million at December 31, 2015. The Company had outstanding long-term debt of $656.6 million at April 2, 2016, compared to $656.0 million at December 31, 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The critical accounting policies affected most significantly by estimates, assumptions and judgments used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are described in Item 7 of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the critical accounting policies used to prepare its condensed consolidated financial statements, including, but not limited to, those related to inventory valuation, impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill, income taxes and business acquisitions. There have been no material changes in these aforementioned critical accounting policies.

The Company's sales increase reflects nominally improved demand from the Company's semiconductor industry customers compared to the year-ago period, offset partly by a decrease in sales of certain specialty materials products. Unfavorable foreign currency translation effects were $0.8 million for the quarter. Exclusive of that factor, the Company's sales increased 2%,

On a geographic basis, total sales in the first quarter of 2016 to Asia (excluding Japan) were 53%, North America 24%, Japan 13% and Europe 10% compared to prior year first quarter sales to Asia (excluding Japan) of 54%, North America 24%, Japan 12% and Europe 9%. Sales increased by 10%, 9% and 1% in Japan, Europe and North America, respectively, in the first quarter of 2016 compared to last year's first quarter. About one-third of the improvement in Japan was due to favorable foreign currency translation effects related to the year-over-year strengthening of the Japanese yen. Sales in Asia decreased 2%, mainly due to unfavorable foreign currency translation effects related to the year-over-year weakening of the Korean won

Gross profit Despite the net sales increase, the Company's gross profit fell slightly for the three months ended April 2, 2016, to $114.7 million, down from $116.5 million for the three months ended March 28, 2015. The Company experienced a 43.0% gross margin rate for the three months ended April 2, 2016 compared to 44.2% in the comparable year-ago period. The gross profit and gross margin shortfalls in 2016 were primarily associated with a slightly unfavorable sales mix, higher charges for excess and obsolete inventory, and an increase in qualification and start-up costs at the Company's i2M Center.

Selling, general and administrative expenses Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $48.0 million for the three months ended April 2, 2016, down $2.9 million, or 6%, from the comparable three-month period a year earlier. An analysis of the factors underlying the decrease in SG&A is presented in the following table:

Engineering, research and development expenses ER&D expenses were $25.9 million in the three months ended April 2, 2016 compared to $25.8 million in the year-ago period, a $0.1 million increase. The Company’s ER&D efforts focus on the support or extension of current product lines, and the development of new products and manufacturing technologies.
Interest expense Interest expense includes interest associated with debt outstanding issued to help fund the acquisition of ATMI in 2014 and the amortization of debt issuance costs associated with such borrowings. Interest expense was $9.2 million in the three months ended April 2, 2016 compared to $9.8 million in the three-month period ended March 28, 2015. The decrease reflects lower outstanding borrowings due to the Company's payments on its senior secured term loan in 2015.
Other income, net Other income, net was $0.7 million in the three months ended April 2, 2016, and consisted mainly of foreign currency transaction gains. Other income, net was $1.7 million in the three months ended March 28, 2015, which was mainly due to foreign currency transaction gains of $2.4 million, offset in part by a $0.7 million loss related to the impairment and sale of an equity investment.

Income tax expense The Company recorded income tax expense of $4.9 million and $4.7 million, respectively, in the three months ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015. The Company’s year-to-date effective tax rate was 23.1% in 2016, compared to 23.8% in 2015. The tax rate in both years reflect the benefit of foreign source income being taxed at lower rates than the U.S. statutory rate.

Net income Due to the factors noted above, the Company recorded net income of $16.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the three-month period ended April 2, 2016 compared to net income of $14.9 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the three-month period ended March 28, 2015.

Non-GAAP Measures The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The Company also utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures as a complement to financial measures provided in accordance with GAAP in order to better assess and reflect trends affecting the Company’s business and results of operations. See Non-GAAP Information included below in this section for additional detail, including the definition of non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of GAAP measures to the Company’s non-GAAP measures.

The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Income, together with related measures thereof, and non-GAAP Earnings Per Share.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 2% to $54.5 million in the three-month period ended April 2, 2016, compared to $55.8 million in the three-month period ended March 28, 2015. Adjusted EBITDA, as a percent of net sales, declined to 20.4% from 21.2% in the year-ago period.

Adjusted Operating Income decreased 4% to $40.8 million in the three-month period ended April 2, 2016, compared to $42.5 million in the three-month period ended March 28, 2015. Adjusted Operating Income, as a percent of net sales, declined to 15.3% from 16.1% in the year-ago period.

Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share decreased 6% to $0.17 in the three-month period ended April 2, 2016, compared to $0.18 in the three-month period ended March 28, 2015.

Critical Materials Handling (CMH)
For the first quarter of 2016, CMH net sales were slightly lower at $166.2 million, compared to $167.5 million in the comparable period last year. Decreases in sales of specialty materials and unfavorable foreign currency translation effects of $1.0 million, were partly offset by improved sales of 300mm transport module and liquid microcontamination control products. CMH reported a segment profit of $37.9 million in the first quarter of 2016, down 8% from $41.3 million in the year-ago period due to the decreased sales, higher manufacturing expenses associated with qualification and start-up costs at the Company's i2M Center, and higher selling expenses.

Electronic Materials (EM)
For the first quarter of 2016, EM net sales increased 5% to $100.8 million, up from $95.9 million in the comparable period last year. An improvement in the sale of advanced deposition material products accounted for the increase. EM reported a segment profit of $21.6 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to a $20.2 million segment profit in the year-ago period. The increase in segment profit mainly reflects the improved sales levels.
Unallocated general and administrative expenses
Unallocated general and administrative expenses totaled $18.6 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $21.7 million in the first quarter of 2015. The $3.1 million decline mainly reflects the absence of integration expenses of $2.6 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating activities Cash flows used in operating activities totaled $17.3 million in the three months ended April 2, 2016. Operating cash flows reflecting net income adjusted for non-cash expenses (such as depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation) was offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $31.3 million, mainly reflecting increases in accounts receivable and inventories, and a decrease in accrued liabilities.
Accounts receivable increased by $8.4 million during the three months ended April 2, 2016, or $6.8 million after accounting for foreign currency translation, mainly reflecting an increase in the Company’s days sales outstanding (DSO). The Company’s DSO was 51 days at April 2, 2016 compared to 48 days at the beginning of the year.
Inventories increased by $10.9 million during the three months ended April 2, 2016, but increased by $13.0 million after accounting for foreign currency translation and the provision for excess and obsolete inventory. The net increase reflects higher levels of all inventory categories due to increased business activity.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased $12.7 million during the three months ended April 2, 2016, or $9.5 million lower after accounting for foreign currency translation and payments for capital expenditures. The decrease, reflecting the payment of 2015 incentive compensation during the first quarter of 2016 and accrued interest payable, was partly offset by higher accounts payable.

Working capital at April 2, 2016 was $558.1 million, compared to $533.2 million as of December 31, 2015, and included $344.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $349.8 million as of December 31, 2015.

Investing activities Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $20.3 million in the three-month period ended April 2, 2016.
Acquisition of property and equipment totaled $17.8 million, which primarily reflected investments in equipment and tooling. The Company's 2016 capital expenditure plans generally reflect more normalized capital spending levels. As of April 2, 2016,

16

Table of Contents

the Company had outstanding capital purchase obligations of $9.9 million for the construction or purchase of plant and equipment not yet recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company had not yet received the related goods or property. As of April 2, 2016, the Company expects its capital expenditures in 2016 to be approximately $80 million.

Financing activities Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $5.6 million during the three-month period ended April 2, 2016. The Company purchased shares of the Company’s common stock at a total cost of $3.6 million under the stock repurchase program authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors and paid $2.1 million for taxes related to the net share settlement of equity awards under the Company’s stock plans.

The Company has a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility maturing April 30, 2019 that provides financing of $75 million, subject to a borrowing base.  The senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to at the Company's option, a base rate (prime rate or LIBOR), plus an applicable margin. As of April 2, 2016, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and $0.2 million undrawn on outstanding letters of credit under the senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility.
Through April 2, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants included in the terms of its senior unsecured notes, senior secured term loan facility and senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility.
The Company also has lines of credit with two banks that provide for borrowings of Japanese yen for the Company’s Japanese subsidiary, equivalent to an aggregate of approximately $10.7 million. There were no outstanding borrowings under these lines of credit at April 2, 2016.
The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, funds available under its senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility and international credit facilities and cash flow generated from operations will be sufficient to meet its working capital and investment requirements for at least the next twelve months. If available liquidity is not sufficient to meet the Company’s operating and debt service obligations as they come due, management would need to pursue alternative arrangements through additional equity or debt financing in order to meet the Company’s cash requirements. There can be no assurance that any such financing would be available on commercially acceptable terms.
At April 2, 2016, the Company’s shareholders’ equity was $821.8 million, up from $802.9 million at the beginning of the year. The increase mainly reflected net income of $16.2 million, an increase to additional paid-in capital of $2.9 million associated with the Company’s share-based compensation expense, and foreign currency translation effects of $5.6 million, mainly associated with the weakening of the U.S. dollar versus Korean won and Japanese yen. These increases were offset partly by the repurchase of the Company’s common stock at a total cost of $3.6 million and the payment of $2.1 million for taxes related to the net share settlement of equity awards under the Company’s stock plans.
As of April 2, 2016, the Company’s resources included cash and cash equivalents of $344.4 million, funds available under its $75 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility and international credit facilities, and cash flow generated from operations. As of April 2, 2016, the amount of cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries was $216.1 million. These amounts held by foreign subsidiaries, certain of which are associated with indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings, may be subject to U.S. income taxation on repatriation to the United States. The Company does not anticipate the need to repatriate funds associated with indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings to the United States to satisfy domestic liquidity needs arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes its existing balances of domestic cash and cash equivalents, available cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries not associated with indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings and operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet the Company’s domestic cash needs arising in the ordinary course of business for the next twelve months.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements Refer to Note 1 to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of accounting pronouncements recently issued by not yet adopted.
Non-GAAP Information The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).

The Company also provides certain non-GAAP financial measures as a complement to financial measures provided in accordance with GAAP in order to better assess and reflect trends affecting the Company’s business and results of operations. Regulation G, “Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” and other regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, define and prescribe the conditions for use of certain non-GAAP financial information. The Company provides non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Income together with related measures thereof, and non-GAAP Earnings Per Share (EPS).

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP term, is defined by the Company as net income before (1) equity in net loss of affiliates, (2) income tax expense, (3) interest expense, (4) interest income, (5) other income, net, (6) integration costs, (7) amortization of intangible assets and (8) depreciation. Adjusted Operating Income, another non-GAAP term, is defined by the Company as Adjusted EBITDA exclusive of the depreciation addback noted above. The Company also utilizes non-GAAP measures whereby Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Income are each divided by the Company’s net sales to derive Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Operating Margin, respectively.

Non-GAAP EPS, a non-GAAP term, is defined by the Company as net income before (1) integration costs, (2) (gain) loss on impairment and sale of equity investment, (3) amortization of intangible assets and (4) the tax effect of those adjustments to net income.
The Company provides supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to better understand and manage its business and believes these measures provide investors and analysts additional and meaningful information for the assessment of the Company’s ongoing results. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to assist in the evaluation of the performance of its business segments and to make operating decisions.
Management believes the Company’s non-GAAP measures help indicate the Company’s baseline performance before certain gains, losses or other charges that may not be indicative of the Company’s business or future outlook and offer a useful view of business performance in that the measures provide a more consistent means of comparing performance. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures aid investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s results by providing a higher degree of transparency for such items and providing a level of disclosure that will help investors understand how management plans, measures and evaluates the Company’s business performance. Management believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP measures provides consistency in its financial reporting and facilitates investors’ understanding of the Company’s historical operating trends by providing an additional basis for comparisons to prior periods.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Income to assist it in evaluations of the Company’s operating performance by excluding items that management does not consider as relevant in the results of its ongoing operations. Internally, these non-GAAP measures are used by management for planning and forecasting purposes, including the preparation of internal budgets; for allocating resources to enhance financial performance; for evaluating the effectiveness of operational strategies; and for evaluating the Company’s capacity to fund capital expenditures, secure financing and expand its business.
In addition, and as a consequence of the importance of these non-GAAP financial measures in managing its business, the Company’s Board of Directors uses non-GAAP financial measures in the evaluation process to determine management compensation.
The Company believes that certain analysts and investors use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income and non-GAAP EPS as supplemental measures to evaluate the overall operating performance of firms in the Company’s industry. Additionally, lenders or potential lenders use Adjusted EBITDA measures to evaluate the Company’s creditworthiness.
The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures or information provided in accordance with GAAP. Management strongly encourages investors to review the Company’s consolidated financial statements in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure.
Management notes that the use of non-GAAP measures has limitations:
First, non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized. Accordingly, the methodology used to produce the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures is not computed under GAAP and may differ notably from the methodology used by other

18

Table of Contents

companies. For example, the Company’s non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to EBITDA or an adjusted EBITDA measure reported by other companies.
Second, the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude items such as amortization and depreciation that are recurring. Amortization of intangibles and depreciation have been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense with an impact upon the Company’s results of operations, notwithstanding the lack of immediate impact upon cash flows.
Third, there is no assurance the Company will not have future restructuring activities, translation-related costs, gains or losses on sale of equity investments, or similar items and, therefore, may need to record additional charges (or credits) associated with such items, including the tax effects thereon. The exclusion of these items from the Company’s non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an implication that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.

Management considers these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures and evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures together with their most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The calculations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Operating Income, and non-GAAP EPS, and reconciliations between these financial measures and their most directly comparable GAAP equivalents, are presented below in the accompanying tables.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Entegris’ principal financial market risks are sensitivities to interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s interest-bearing cash equivalents and senior secured financing obligation are subject to interest rate fluctuations. The Company’s cash equivalents are instruments with maturities of three months or less. A 100 basis point change in interest rates would potentially increase or decrease annual net income by approximately $0.3 million annually.
The cash flows and results of operations of the Company’s foreign-based operations are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company occasionally uses derivative financial instruments to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risks associated with its foreign-based operations. At April 2, 2016, the Company had no net exposure to any foreign currency forward contracts.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 1934 Act)) as of April 2, 2016. The term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on management’s evaluation (with the participation of our CEO and CFO), as of April 2, 2016, the Company's CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures used by the Company, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the 1934 Act) during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
