NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations Entegris, Inc. (“Entegris”, “the Company”, “us”, “we”, or “our”) is a leading global developer, manufacturer and supplier of microcontamination control products, specialty chemicals and advanced materials handling solutions for 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, right-of-use assets, goodwill, intangibles, accrued expenses, short-term and long-term lease liability, 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 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 June 27, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and the results of operations and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, the equity statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, and cash flows for the six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying 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, 2019. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020 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, was $1,194.2 million at June 27, 2020, compared to the carrying amount of long-term debt, including current maturities, of $1,184.0 million at June 27, 2020.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2020 In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities are required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that replaces the current “incurred loss” model and generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 on January 1, 2020, and there was no material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” under ASC 740, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impacts of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. REVENUES

Revenue Recognition Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer.

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.

Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of goods sold.

The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.

When the Company receives consideration, or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract, the Company records deferred revenue, which represents a contract liability. Such deferred revenue typically results from advance payments received on sales of the Company’s products. The Company makes the required disclosures below.

The Company does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

Nature of goods and services The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenues. The Company has three reportable segments. For more detailed information about reportable segments, see note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. For each of the three reportable segments, the recognition of revenue regarding the nature of goods and services provided by the segments are similar and described below. The Company recognizes revenue for product sales at a point in time following the transfer of control of such products to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment or delivery, depending on the terms of the underlying contracts. For product sales contracts that contain multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract based on relative standalone selling prices, or estimates of such prices, and recognizes the related revenue as control of each individual product is transferred to the customer, in satisfaction of the corresponding performance obligations.

The Company generally recognizes revenue for sales of services when the Company has satisfied the performance obligation.

The Company also enters into arrangements to license its intellectual property. These arrangements typically permit the customer to use a specialized manufacturing process and in return the Company receives a royalty fee. If applicable, the Company recognizes revenue when the subsequent sale or usage occurs.

The Company offers certain customers cash discounts and volume rebates as sales incentives. The discounts and volume rebates are recorded as a reduction in sales at the time revenue is recognized in an amount estimated based on historical experience and contractual obligations. The Company periodically reviews the assumptions underlying its estimates of discounts and volume rebates and adjusts its revenues accordingly.

In addition, the Company offers free product rebates to certain customers. The Company utilizes an adjusted market approach to estimate the stand-alone selling price of the loyalty program and allocates a portion of the consideration received to the free product offering. The free product offering is redeemable upon future purchases of the Company’s products. The amount associated with free product rebates is deferred in the balance sheet and is recognized as revenue when the free product is redeemed or when the likelihood of redemption is remote. The Company deems the amount immaterial for disclosure.

The Company provides for the estimated costs of fulfilling our obligations under product warranties at the time the related revenue is recognized. The Company estimates the costs based on historical failure rates, projected repair costs, and knowledge of specific product failures (if any). The specific warranty terms and conditions vary depending upon the product sold and the country in which we do business, but generally include parts and labor over a period generally ranging from 90 days to one year. The Company regularly reevaluates its estimates to assess the adequacy of the recorded warranty liabilities and adjust the amounts as necessary.

The Company’s contracts are generally short-term in nature. Most contracts’ terms do not exceed twelve months. Payment terms vary by the type and location of the Company’s customers and the products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. For certain products or services and customer types, the Company requires payment before the products or services are delivered to the customer. Those customers that prepay are represented by the contract liabilities below until the performance obligations are satisfied.

The following table provides information about contract liabilities from contracts with customers. The contract liabilities are included in other accrued liabilities balance in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

3. ACQUISITIONS

Sinmat

On January 10, 2020, the Company acquired Sinmat, a chemical mechanical polishing slurry manufacturer. Sinmat reports into the Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials segment of the Company. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and Sinmat’s results of operations are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and since January 10, 2020. Costs associated with the acquisition of Sinmat were $0.7 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020 and were expensed as incurred. These costs are included in the selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. The acquisition does not constitute a material business combination.

The purchase price for Sinmat includes cash consideration of $76.2 million, or $75.6 million net of cash acquired, which was funded from the Company’s existing cash on hand.

The purchase price of Sinmat exceeds the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed by $31.7 million. Cash flows used to determine the purchase price included strategic and synergistic benefits (investment value) specific to the Company, which resulted in a purchase price in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets. This additional investment value resulted in goodwill, which is expected to be non-deductible for income tax purposes.

During the quarter ended June 27, 2020, the Company finalized its fair value determination of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The following table summarizes the provisional and final allocations of the purchase price to the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition date and as adjusted as of June 27, 2020, respectively:

Hangzhou Anow Microfiltration Co., Ltd.

On September 17, 2019, the Company acquired Hangzhou Anow Microfiltration Co., Ltd. (“Anow”), a filtration company for diverse industries including semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and medical. Anow reports into the Microcontamination Control segment of the Company. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and Anow’s results of operations are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and since September 17, 2019. Costs associated with the acquisition of Anow were $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2019 and were expensed as incurred. The acquisition does not constitute a material business combination.

The purchase price for Anow is $72.8 million, net of cash acquired. The purchase price includes (1) cash consideration of $73.0 million, or $69.3 million net of cash acquired, which was funded from the Company’s existing cash on hand, and (2) $3.5 million deferred payment due to the seller no earlier than September 18, 2021, at which time either the seller or the Company can exercise its option to receive or pay the deferred payment, respectively.

The purchase price of Anow exceeds the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed by $49.6 million. Cash flows used to determine the purchase price included strategic and synergistic benefits (investment value) specific to the Company, which resulted in a purchase price in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets. This additional investment value resulted in goodwill, which is expected to be non-deductible for income tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the provisional allocation of the purchase price to the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition date and as adjusted as of June 27, 2020:


(In thousands):	As of September 17, 2019		As of June 27, 2020

Goodwill	25,212		49,608
Total purchase price, net of cash acquired	$	73,014	$	72,798

The change in the allocation of the purchase price is due to the acquisition occurring near the quarter end date of September 29, 2019, which required an estimated allocation of values.

The Company recognized the following finite-lived intangible assets as part of the acquisition of Anow:


(In thousands)	Amount		Weighted average life in years
Developed technology	$	6,764	6.8
Trademarks and trade names	2,019		7.3
Customer relationships	7,656		14.3
	$	16,439	10.3

The final valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is expected to be completed as soon as possible, but not later than one year from the acquisition date. The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is complete with the exception of the value allocated to income tax accounts. To the extent that the Company’s estimates require adjustment, the Company will modify the values.

MPD Chemicals

On July 15, 2019, the Company acquired MPD Chemicals (“MPD”), a provider of advanced materials to the specialty chemical, technology, and life sciences industries. MPD reports into the Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Material segment of the Company. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and MPD’s results of operations are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and since July 15, 2019. Costs associated with the acquisition of MPD were $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2019 and were expensed as incurred. The acquisition does not constitute a material business combination.

The purchase price for MPD is $162.9 million, net of cash acquired. The purchase price includes (1) cash consideration of $158.4 million, which was funded from the Company’s existing cash on hand, and (2) a fixed deferred payment of $5.0 million that is due on January 15, 2022, recorded at $4.5 million, which represents the fair value of this fixed deferred payment as of the acquisition date.

The fair value of the fixed deferred payment was determined by taking the present value of this fixed deferred payment based on the term and a discount factor. The fixed deferred payment is reflected in pension benefit obligations and other liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The purchase price of MPD exceeds the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed by $63.2 million. Cash flows used to determine the purchase price included strategic and synergistic benefits (investment value) specific to the Company, which resulted in a purchase price in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets. This additional investment value resulted in goodwill, which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

During the quarter ended June 27, 2020, the Company finalized its fair value determination of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The following table summarizes the provisional and final allocations of the purchase price to the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition date and adjusted as of June 27, 2020, respectively:

Digital Specialty Chemicals

On March 8, 2019, the Company acquired Digital Specialty Chemicals Limited (“DSC”), a Toronto, Canada-based provider of advanced materials to the specialty chemical, technology, and pharmaceutical industries. DSC reports into the Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials segment of the Company. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and the results of operations of DSC are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and since March 8, 2019. Costs associated with the acquisition of DSC were $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2019 and were expensed as incurred. These costs were included in selling, general and administrative expense in

the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The acquisition does not constitute a material business combination.

The purchase price for DSC is $64.1 million, net of cash acquired. The purchase price includes (1) cash consideration of $49.9 million, or $49.4 million net of cash acquired, which was funded from the Company’s existing cash on hand, (2) a fixed deferred payment of $16.1 million that is due on March 31, 2022, recorded at $14.0 million representing the fair value of this fixed deferred payment as of the acquisition date, and (3) an earnout-based contingent consideration of $0.7 million based on the operating performance of DSC for a twelve-month period ending March 31, 2021.

Upon closing the acquisition, the Company recorded a contingent consideration obligation of $0.7 million, which represents the fair value of the earnout-based contingent consideration. This amount was estimated based on a Black-Scholes model. Subsequent changes in the fair value of this obligation will be recognized as adjustments to the contingent consideration obligation and reflected within the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

On December 3, 2019 the Company entered into a settlement agreement to accelerate the fixed deferred payment of $16.1 million to no later than March 8, 2020. This payment was made in the first quarter of 2020. The Company adjusted the fair value of the fixed deferred payment from its fair value to the full value resulting in an additional $1.6 million charge to interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the liability was adjusted from other long-term liabilities to other accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. In addition to the acceleration of the fixed deferred payment, it was determined that the earnout-based contingent consideration of $0.7 million will never become owed to the sellers under the original purchase agreement. The Company removed the liability and credited selling, general and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2019.

The purchase price of DSC exceeds the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed by $36.5 million. Cash flows used to determine the purchase price included strategic and synergistic benefits (investment value) specific to the Company, which resulted in a purchase price in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets. This additional investment value resulted in goodwill, which is expected to be non-deductible for income tax purposes.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company finalized its fair value determination of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The following table summarizes the final allocation of the purchase price to the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition:

2028 Senior Unsecured Notes

On April 30, 2020, the Company issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior unsecured notes due April 15, 2028 (the “2028 Notes”). The 2028 Notes were issued under an indenture dated as of April 30, 2020 (the “2028 Notes Indenture”) by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “2028 Notes Trustee”). Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on October 15, 2020. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $4.0 million in connection with the 2028 Notes. These costs are reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the face amount of the 2028 Notes.

The 2028 Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally, on a senior unsecured basis, by the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries, other than certain excluded subsidiaries, to the extent that such entities guarantee indebtedness under the Company’s senior secured term loan facility due 2025 and senior secured revolving credit facility due 2023 (together, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) or the Company’s 4.625% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and any other subsidiary of the Company to the extent it incurs certain additional indebtedness (collectively, the “Guarantors”).

The 2028 Notes and the guarantees thereof are the Company’s and the Guarantors’ senior unsecured obligations, respectively, and will (i) rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness (including the 2026 Notes); (ii) rank senior to any subordinated indebtedness that the Company or the Guarantors may incur; (iii) be effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s or the Guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness (including the Senior Secured Credit Facilities), in each case, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) be structurally subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future obligations of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 2028 Notes.

At any time prior to April 15, 2023, the Company may, at its option, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes, at a redemption price equal to 104.375% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption, with an amount of cash equal to the net cash proceeds of an equity offering, as defined in the 2028 Notes Indenture, by the Company; provided that (1) at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes issued under the 2028 Notes Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption; and (2) the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering.

Additionally, at any time prior to April 15, 2023, the 2028 Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes redeemed, plus a “make whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the applicable redemption date.

Table of Contents

On or after April 15, 2023, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the 2028 Notes, at its option, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2028 Notes redeemed, to, but not including, the applicable date of redemption, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on April 15 of the years indicated below:


Year	Percentage
2023	102.188	%
2024	101.094	%
2025 and thereafter	100.000	%

Upon the occurrence of certain change of control events accompanied by certain ratings events, the Company will be required to offer to repurchase all of the outstanding 2028 Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of repurchase.

The 2028 Notes Indenture that governs the 2028 Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability and/or the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to incur liens, engage in sale and leaseback transactions and consolidate, merge with or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets to another person. The 2028 Notes Indenture also, subject to certain exceptions, limits the ability of any non-Guarantor subsidiary of the Company to incur indebtedness. These covenants are subject to a number of other limitations and exceptions as set forth in the 2028 Notes Indenture.

The 2028 Notes Indenture provides for events of default which, if certain of them occur, would permit the 2028 Notes Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 2028 Notes to declare the principal of, and interest or premium, if any, and any other monetary obligations on, all the then-outstanding 2028 Notes to be due and payable immediately.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

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 thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The information, except for historical 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, 2019 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. 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.

Overview

This overview is not a complete discussion of the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition or 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. The discussion and analysis must be read in its entirety in order to fully understand the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

The Company is a leading global developer, manufacturer and supplier of microcontamination control products, specialty chemicals and advanced materials handling solutions for manufacturing processes in the semiconductor and other high-technology industries. We leverage our unique breadth of capabilities to create value for our customers by developing mission-critical solutions to maximize manufacturing yields, reduce manufacturing costs and enable higher device performance.

Our technology portfolio includes advanced materials and high-purity chemistries, with optimized packaging and delivery systems and in-process filtration and purification solutions that ensure high-value liquid chemistries and gases are free from contaminants before use. Our standard and customized products and solutions enable the highest levels of purity and performance that are essential to the manufacture of semiconductors, flat panel displays, light emitting diodes, high-purity chemicals, solar cells, gas lasers, optical and magnetic storage devices, and critical components for aerospace, glass manufacturing and biomedical applications. The majority of our products are consumed at various times throughout the manufacturing process, with demand driven in part by the level of semiconductor and other manufacturing activity.

Our business is organized and operated in three operating segments, which align with the key elements of the advanced semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem. The Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials, or SCEM, segment provides high-performance and high-purity process chemistries, gases, and materials, and safe and efficient delivery systems to support semiconductor and other advanced manufacturing processes. The Microcontamination Control, or MC, segment offers solutions to filter and purify critical liquid chemistries and gases used in semiconductor manufacturing processes and other high-technology industries. The Advanced Materials Handling, or AMH, segment develops solutions to monitor, protect, transport, and deliver critical liquid chemistries, wafers and other substrates for a broad set of applications in the semiconductor industry and other high-technology industries. While these segments have separate products and technical know-how, they share common business systems and processes, technology centers, and strategic and technology roadmaps. We leverage our expertise from these three segments and complementary product portfolios to create new and increasingly integrated solutions for our customers. See note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Company’s three segments.

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 2020 end March 28, 2020, June 27, 2020, September 26, 2020 and December 31, 2020. Unaudited information for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019 and the financial position as of June 27, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Key operating factors Key factors, which management believes have the largest impact on the overall results of operations of the Company, 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 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 fluctuations.

Table of Contents

•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 materials (especially polymers, membranes, stainless steel and purchased components), domestic and international competition, 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 expenses, 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.

Impact of COVID-19 on our Business

A novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019, and subsequently declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, governmental authorities have implemented and are continuing to implement numerous and constantly evolving measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, limits on gatherings, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and business shutdowns. In some cases, governmental re-opening plans have been delayed or reversed due to spikes in the number of infections. We continue to monitor the situation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, which remains fluid and uncertain, and to proactively manage and adapt our responses in collaboration with our employees, customers and suppliers. However, we are unable to accurately predict the full impact of COVID-19 on our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows, which will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with accuracy, including, but not limited to, the duration and continued spread of the outbreak, its severity, potential additional waves of infection, the actions to mitigate the virus or its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.

Health and Safety

From the earliest signs of the outbreak, we have taken, and continue to take, proactive, aggressive action to protect the health and safety of our employees, customers, partners and suppliers. We enacted rigorous safety measures in all of our sites in accordance with applicable laws, including social distancing protocols, encouraging employees who do not need to be physically present on the manufacturing floor or in a lab to perform their work to work from home, suspending non-essential travel, implementing temperature checks at the entrances to our facilities, extensively and frequently disinfecting our workspaces and providing masks to employees who are physically present at our facilities. We expect to continue to implement these measures until the COVID-19 pandemic is adequately contained, and we may take further actions as government authorities require or recommend or as we determine to be in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners and suppliers. We expect that the pandemic may abate at different times in different regions, and accordingly our health and safety protocols may vary across regions.

Operations

We have important manufacturing operations in the U.S., Japan, Korea, China, Malaysia, and Taiwan, all of which have been affected by the outbreak and have taken measures to try to contain it. Measures providing for business shutdowns have generally excluded certain essential services, and those essential services have commonly included critical infrastructure and the businesses that support that critical infrastructure. While all of our facilities currently remain operational, these measures have impacted and may further impact our workforce and operations, as well as those of our customers, suppliers and other third parties with which we do business. For example, the government of Malaysia issued an order that significantly reduced the number of employees who could be physically present to operate our Malaysian plant, which had reduced the productivity of that plant for a period of time. As of the date of this filing, our Malaysian plant is back to full capacity. In addition to reduced productivity, constraints and limits imposed on our operations may slow or diminish our research and development and customer qualification activities. We also experienced brief interruptions in operations at our sites in Hangzhou, China, San Luis Obispo, California and Bedford, Massachusetts. While governmental measures may be modified, extended or reimposed, we expect that, absent a significant surge in infections in the relevant local area, our manufacturing and research and development facilities will remain operational, largely at or near full capacity. In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced limited absenteeism from employees who are required to be on-site to perform their jobs, and we have incurred incremental employee compensation related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We do not currently expect that our operations will be adversely affected by significant absenteeism.

Supply

We have not yet experienced any significant impacts or interruptions to our supply chain as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, certain of our suppliers have faced and, as the pandemic continues, may continue to face, difficulties maintaining operations in light of government-ordered restrictions and shelter-in-place mandates and may face challenges in

Table of Contents

maintaining their level of supply. For example, earlier in the year, one of our critical valve suppliers was shut down and was unable to supply us with valves for certain of our gas purification products. In this instance we were able to procure this critical part from a second, pre-qualified source. Although we regularly monitor the financial health of companies in our supply chain, financial hardship on our suppliers or sub-suppliers caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could cause a disruption in our ability to obtain raw materials or components required to manufacture our products, adversely affecting our operations. To mitigate the risk of potential supply interruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic, we chose to increase certain inventory levels during the second quarter, and we continue to hold more inventory than we might otherwise seek to maintain. These actions may result in increased charges for excess or obsolete inventory, which would have the effect of reducing our profitability. We may decide to take similar actions going forward. Additionally, restrictions or disruptions of transportation, such as reduced availability of air transport, port closures and increased border controls or closures, have resulted, in certain instances, in higher costs and delays, both on obtaining raw materials and shipping finished goods to customers. If these restrictions and disruptions continue, they could harm our profitability, make our products less competitive, or cause our customers to seek alternative suppliers.

Demand

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased economic and demand uncertainty. During the first and second quarters of 2020, we have seen strong demand from leading-edge customers associated with end-uses in servers and other data center applications. We believe that a portion of recent orders we have received may be a result of customers increasing their inventory to reduce their exposure to risks of future supply disruptions, which could offset demand for our products in the future. We continue to see weakness in some mainstream fabs associated with the slowdown in sales of automotive, aerospace, mobile phone, and other applications. Across our three divisions, certain customers impacted by governmental reactions to COVID-19 pushed out product deliveries and acceptance inspections from the first quarter of 2020 to the second quarter of 2020. We anticipate that the pandemic will continue to contribute to the current global economic slowdown, and it is possible that it could cause a global recession. In the event of a recession, demand for our products would decline and our business would be adversely affected.

Liquidity

Although there is uncertainty related to the anticipated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future results, we believe our business model, our current cash reserves and our balance sheet leave us well-positioned to manage our business through this crisis as we expect it to unfold. We have taken recent steps to strengthen our balance sheet. On April 30, 2020, we issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior unsecured notes due April 15, 2028. We used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to repay approximately $142 million of borrowings under our senior secured revolving facility due 2023, or the Revolving Facility, representing the entire aggregate principal amount outstanding thereunder. We also used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to repay approximately $151 million of outstanding borrowings under our senior secured term loan facility, or the Term Loan Facility.

We have reviewed numerous potential scenarios in connection with the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy and the semiconductor industry. Based on our analysis, we believe our existing balances of domestic cash and cash equivalents and our currently anticipated operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our cash needs arising in the ordinary course of business for the next twelve months.

We continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and guidance from international and domestic authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities, and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our operating plan. As such, given the dynamic nature of this situation, we cannot reasonably estimate the impacts that COVID-19 may have on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future. In addition, see Part II—Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” included herein for updates to our risk factors regarding risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Overall Summary of Financial Results

For the three months ended June 27, 2020, net sales increased 18% to $448.4 million, compared to $378.9 million for the three months ended June 29, 2019. Net sales for the three months ended June 27, 2020 included sales of $12.4 million from acquired businesses and favorable foreign currency translation effects of $0.4 million. In addition to these factors, the increase in revenue primarily resulted from increased customer demand from the semiconductor market compared to the year-ago quarter.

Sales were up $36.1 million, or 9%, on a sequential basis over sales of $412.3 million in the first quarter of 2020, including favorable foreign currency translation effects of $0.1 million and sales attributable to acquired businesses of $2.0 million. The increase in revenue resulted primarily from increased customer demand from the semiconductor market compared to the previous quarter.

The Company’s gross profit for the three months ended June 27, 2020 increased to $207.4 million, up from $166.3 million for the three months ended June 29, 2019. The Company experienced a 46.2% gross margin for the three months ended June 27, 2020, compared to 43.9% in the comparable year-ago period. The gross profit and gross margin increases reflect higher factory utilization associated with higher sales levels and a favorable sales mix.

The Company’s selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $2.7 million for the three months ended June 27, 2020 compared to the year-ago quarter, mainly due to higher employee costs.

The Company’s other income, net decreased by $121.5 million for the three months ended June 27, 2020 compared to the year-ago quarter, mainly due to the net proceeds of $122.0 million received from the termination of the merger agreement with Versum in the three months ended June 29, 2019. See note 8 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

As a result of the aforementioned factors, the Company reported net income of $68.0 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 27, 2020, compared to net income of $124.0 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, a year ago.

On April 30, 2020, the Company issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior unsecured notes due April 15, 2028. The transaction is described in further detail in note 6 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

On July 10, 2020, the Company acquired Global Measurement Technologies, Inc., or GMTI, an analytical instrument provider for critical processes in semiconductor production, and its manufacturing partner Clean Room Plastics, Inc., for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $36 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The Company funded the acquisition from its available cash on hand. GMTI will be a part of the AMH segment. The acquisition does not constitute a material business combination.

Cash and cash equivalents were $532.7 million at June 27, 2020, compared with cash and cash equivalents of $351.9 million at December 31, 2019. The Company had outstanding debt of $1,184.0 million at June 27, 2020, compared to $936.5 million at December 31, 2019.

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, 2019 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 impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill, income taxes and business acquisitions. There have been no material changes in these aforementioned critical accounting policies.

Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials (SCEM)

For the second quarter of 2020, SCEM net sales increased to $146.2 million, compared to $127.6 million in the comparable period last year. The sales increase was due to increased sales of advanced deposition materials and cleaning chemistries, as well as additional sales of $8.2 million attributable to the acquisitions of MPD in the third quarter of 2019 and Sinmat in the first quarter of 2020. This growth was offset by declines in non-semi related sales, particularly in end markets that were most impacted by the pandemic, such as aerospace and handsets. SCEM reported a segment profit of $32.9 million in the second quarter of 2020, up 37% from $24.0 million in the year-ago period. The segment profit increase was primarily due to higher gross profit related to increased sales volume, partially offset by a 9% increase in operating expenses, primarily due to recent acquisitions and higher compensation costs.

For the six months ended June 27, 2020, SCEM net sales increased to $290.4 million, compared to $252.0 million in the comparable period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We consider the following when assessing our liquidity and capital resources:


In thousands	June 27, 2020		December 31, 2019
Cash and cash equivalents	$	532,667	$	351,911
Working capital	950,892		667,964
Total debt	1,183,992		936,484

The Company has historically financed its operations and capital requirements through cash flow from its operating activities, long-term loans, lease financing and borrowings under domestic and international short-term lines of credit. Although there is uncertainty related to the anticipated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s future results, we believe our business model, our current cash reserves and the recent steps we have taken to strengthen our balance sheet, such as our issuance of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior unsecured notes due April 15, 2028 and related repayments under the Revolving Facility and Term Loan Facility, will help us to manage our business through this crisis as we expect it to unfold. We have reviewed numerous potential scenarios in connection with the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy and the semiconductor industry. Based on our analysis, we believe our existing balances of domestic cash and cash equivalents and our currently anticipated operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our cash needs arising in the ordinary course of business for the next twelve months. As the opportunity arises, we may seek to take advantage of opportunities to raise additional capital through additional debt financing or through public or private sales of securities. If in the future our 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, or at all. To date, in fiscal 2020, we have not experienced difficulty accessing the capital and credit markets; however, future volatility in the capital and credit markets may increase costs associated with issuing debt instruments or affect our ability to access those markets. In addition, it is possible that our ability to access the capital and credit markets could be limited at a time when we would like, or need, to do so, which could have an adverse impact on our ability to refinance maturing debt and/or react to changing economic and business conditions.

In summary, our cash flows for each period were as follows:


	Six months ended
(in thousands)	June 27, 2020		June 29, 2019
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	141,424	$	228,363
Net cash used in investing activities	(122,307)		(109,171)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	163,833		(79,166)
Increase in cash and cash equivalents	180,756		39,320

Operating activities

Cash provided by operating activities is net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. Cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $141.4 million in the six months ended June 27, 2020 compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $228.4 million in the six months ended June 29, 2019. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to lower net income and changes in working capital and other assets and liabilities. The net change in working capital and other assets and liabilities resulted in a decrease to cash provided by operations of $81.9 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020 compared to a decrease of $14.6 million for the six months ended June 29, 2019.

Changes in working capital and other assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 27, 2020 were driven by increases in accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable. The change for accounts receivable was primarily due to the Company's quarter closing date occurring several days prior to the end of the calendar month, the period during which receivable collections are typically heavy, particularly for the Company's Asia operations as compared to the six months ended June 29, 2019. The change for inventory was driven by an increase in raw material purchases to provide a buffer related to any potential supply chain issues related to COVID-19. The change for accounts payable and accrued liabilities was primarily driven by the timing of payments of accounts payable. In addition, the Company paid out a lower incentive compensation payment for the six months ended June 27, 2020 compared to the Company’s analogous payment for the six months ended June 29, 2019. Furthermore, the Company’s incentive compensation accrual is higher at June 27, 2020 than its incentive compensation accrual at June 29, 2019.

Investing activities Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $122.3 million in the six months ended June 27, 2020 compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $109.2 million in the six months ended June 29, 2019. The change was due to higher cash paid for acquisitions, offset in-part by lower cash paid for acquisition of property, plant and equipment.

Acquisition of property, plant and equipment totaled $46.9 million in the six months ended June 27, 2020, which primarily reflected investments in equipment and tooling, compared to $60.1 million in the six months ended June 29, 2019, which primarily reflected investments in equipment and tooling.

On January 10, 2020, the Company acquired Sinmat, a CMP slurry manufacturer. The cash used to acquire Sinmat for the six months ended June 27, 2020 was $75.6 million, net of cash acquired. The transaction is described in further detail in note 3 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In the six months ended June 29, 2019, the Company acquired DSC, which provides advanced materials to the specialty chemical, technology and pharmaceutical industries. The cash used to acquire DSC for the six months ended June 29, 2019 was $49.3 million, net of cash acquired. The transaction is described in further detail in note 3 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of June 27, 2020, the Company expects its full-year capital expenditures in 2020 to be approximately $120.0 million. As of June 27, 2020, the Company had outstanding capital purchase obligations of $42.1 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 received the related goods or property as of such date.

Financing activities Cash flows provided by financing activities totaled $163.8 million during the six months ended June 27, 2020 compared to cash flows used in financing activities of $79.2 million during the six months ended June 29, 2019. The change was primarily due to net long-term debt activity, which was a source of cash of $249.0 million in the six months ended June 27, 2020, compared to a use of cash of $2.0 million in the comparable period in 2019, and a $20.8 million decrease of repurchases of the Company’s common stock, partially offset by a $16.1 million deferred acquisition payment related to our DSC acquisition, a $4.4 million increase in cash used to pay taxes for net share settlements of equity awards and $4.0 million increase in payments for debt issuance costs. In March 2020, the Company suspended its share repurchase program.

Our total dividend payments were $21.7 million in the six months ended June 27, 2020 compared to $19.0 million in the six months ended June 29, 2019. We have paid a cash dividend in each of the past 11 quarters. On July 15, 2020, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share of common stock, payable on August 19, 2020 to stockholders of record on July 29, 2020.

Other Liquidity and Capital Resources Considerations

The Company’s Term Loan Facility matures on November 6, 2025 and bears interest rate at a rate per annum of 2.2% at June 27, 2020. During the six months ended June 27, 2020, the Company made payments of $151.0 million on the Term Loan Facility and had losses on debt extinguishment of $1.5 million. As of June 27, 2020, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan Facility was $245 million.

The Company’s Revolving Facility provides for lending commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million maturing on November 6, 2023. The Revolving Facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option,

Table of Contents

either a base rate (such as prime rate) or LIBOR plus, in each case, an applicable margin. At June 27, 2020, there was no balance outstanding under the Revolving Facility and we had undrawn outstanding letters of credit of $0.2 million.

Through June 27, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under its credit facilities.

As of June 27, 2020, we had $550 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% senior unsecured notes due February 10, 2026 outstanding.

On April 30, 2020, the Company issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior unsecured notes due April 15, 2028. The Company paid debt issuance costs of $4.0 million in connection with the issuance of the notes during the six months ended June 27, 2020. The transaction is described in further detail in note 6 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 $11.2 million. There were no outstanding borrowings under these lines of credit at June 27, 2020.

As of June 27, 2020, the Company’s sources of available funds were its cash and cash equivalents of $532.7 million, funds available under the Revolving Facility and international credit facilities and cash flow generated from operations. As of June 27, 2020, the amount of cash and cash equivalents held in certain of our foreign operations totaled approximately $219.5 million. If we repatriate such funds, we will be required to pay income taxes in certain U.S. states and applicable foreign withholding taxes on those amounts during the period when such repatriation occurs. We have accrued taxes for the tax effect of repatriating the funds to the U.S.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 27, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no significant changes to the contractual obligations reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, except for long-term debt. On April 30, 2020, the Company issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior unsecured notes due April 15, 2028. The Company paid down $151 million on the Term Loan Facility during the second quarter of 2020.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements Refer to note 1 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of accounting pronouncements recently adopted.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements Refer to note 1 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of accounting pronouncements recently issued but not yet adopted.

Non-GAAP Information The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with 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. These non-GAAP financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Income, together with related measures thereof, and non-GAAP Earnings Per Share, or EPS, as well as certain other supplemental non-GAAP financial measures included in the discussion of the Company’s financial results.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined by the Company as net income before (1) income tax expense, (2) interest expense, (3) interest income, (4) other (income) expense, net, (5) charge for fair value write-up of acquired inventory sold, (6) deal and transaction costs, (7) integration costs, (8) severance and restructuring costs, (9) amortization of intangible assets and (10) depreciation. Adjusted Operating Income, another non-GAAP financial measure, is defined by the Company as Adjusted EBITDA exclusive of the depreciation addback noted above. The Company also utilizes non-GAAP financial 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 financial measure, is defined by the Company as net income before (1) charge for fair value write-up of acquired inventory sold, (2) deal and transaction costs, (3) integration costs, (4) severance and restructuring costs, (5) loss on debt extinguishment and modification, (6) Versum termination fee, net, (7) amortization of intangible assets, (8) tax effect of legal entity restructuring and (9) the tax effect of the foregoing adjustments to net income, stated on a per share basis.

The Company provides supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to help management and investors to better understand its business and believes these measures provide investors and analysts additional and meaningful information for the assessment

Table of Contents

of the Company’s ongoing results. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to assist in the evaluation of the performance of the Company’s 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 greater 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 condensed 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, including but not limited to:

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 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 that the Company will not have future charges for fair value write-up of acquired inventory, restructuring activities, deal costs, integration costs, 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 in 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

The Company’s 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 obligations 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 $2.2 million annually.

The cash flows and results of operations of the Company’s foreign-based operations are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. We have sales denominated in the South Korean Won, New Taiwan Dollar, Chinese Renminbi, Canadian Dollar, Malaysian Ringgit, Singapore Dollar, Euro, Israeli Shekel and the Japanese Yen. Approximately 23.7% of the Company’s sales are denominated in these currencies. Financial results therefore will be affected by changes in currency exchange rates. If all foreign currencies had experienced a 10% reduction versus the U.S. dollar during the three months ended June 27, 2020, revenue for the quarter would have been negatively impacted by approximately $10.5 million.

The Company occasionally uses derivative financial instruments to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risks associated with its foreign-based operations. At June 27, 2020, 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, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness 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, or the 1934 Act) as of June 27, 2020. 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 the Company in the reports that it files or submits 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 the 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 the Company’s CEO and CFO), as of June 27, 2020, 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) identified in connection with the foregoing evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures that occurred 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.

The Company acquired MPD, Anow and Sinmat on July 15, 2019, September 17, 2019 and January 10, 2020, respectively. None of MPD, Anow and Sinmat is significant to the Company’s financial statements. The Company is continuing to integrate MPD, Anow and Sinmat into the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, and the foregoing evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures does not include an assessment of those disclosure controls and procedures of MPD, Anow and Sinmat that are subsumed by internal control over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

As of June 27, 2020, the Company is subject to various claims, legal actions, and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes the final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company expenses legal costs as incurred.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

This section augments and updates certain risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, or the Annual Report, and in Item 1A of Part II of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended March 28, 2020, or the Q1 Quarterly Report. The following risk factors supersede the corresponding risks described in the Annual Report and the Q1 Quarterly Report and should be read together with the other risk factors disclosed in the Annual Report. In addition to the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, all of these risk factors should be carefully considered in evaluating us and our common stock. Any of these risks, many of which are beyond our control, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, or cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. We may also face other risks and uncertainties that are not presently known, are not currently believed to be material, or are not identified below because they are common to all businesses. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. For more information, see “Cautionary Statements” at the beginning of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

The COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing governmental responses could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, governmental authorities have implemented and are continuing to implement numerous and constantly evolving measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, limits on gatherings, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and business shutdowns. We have important manufacturing operations in the U.S., Japan, Korea, China, Malaysia, and Taiwan, all of which have been affected by the outbreak and have taken measures to try to contain it. Measures providing for business shutdowns have generally excluded certain essential services, and those essential services have commonly included critical infrastructure and the businesses that support that critical infrastructure. While all of our facilities currently remain operational, these measures have impacted and may further impact our workforce and operations, as well as those of our customers, suppliers and other third parties with which we do business. For example, the government of Malaysia issued an order that significantly reduced the number of employees who could be physically present to operate our Malaysian plant, which had reduced the productivity of that plant. As of the date of this filing, our Malaysian plant is back to full capacity. In addition to reduced productivity, the constraints and limits imposed on our operations may slow or diminish our research and development and customer qualification activities. Although many governmental measures have had specific expiration dates, some of those measures have already been extended more than once, and some governmental re-opening plans have been delayed or reversed due to spikes in the number of infections. In addition, such measures have not effectively reduced the high rate of spread of the virus in certain U.S. states, and there may be potential additional waves of infection in the future. As a result, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the duration and extent of current and future measures. Restrictions on our manufacturing, support operations or workforce, or similar limitations for our suppliers, could limit our ability to meet customer demand and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, restrictions or disruptions of transportation, such as reduced availability of air transport, port closures and increased border controls or closures, have resulted, in certain instances, in higher costs and delays, both on obtaining raw materials and shipping finished goods to customers. If these restrictions and disruptions continue, they could harm our profitability, make our products less competitive, or cause our customers to seek alternative suppliers.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased economic and demand uncertainty. We anticipate that the pandemic will continue to contribute to the current global economic slowdown, and it is possible that it could cause a global recession.

In response to these developments, we have modified our business practices, including restricting employee travel, modifying employee work locations, implementing social distancing and enhanced sanitary measures in our facilities, and cancelling attendance at events and conferences. Many of our suppliers and service providers have made similar modifications. The resources available to employees working remotely may not enable them to maintain the same level of productivity and efficiency, and these and other employees may face additional demands on their time, such as increased responsibilities resulting from school closures or the illness of family members. While we have experienced only limited absenteeism from employees who are required to be on-site to perform their jobs, absenteeism may increase in the future and may harm our

Table of Contents

productivity. In addition, we have incurred and may continue to incur incremental employee compensation related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, our increased reliance on remote access to our information systems increases our exposure to potential cybersecurity breaches. We may take further actions as government authorities require or recommend or as we determine to be in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners and suppliers. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus, in which case our employees may become sick, our ability to perform critical functions could be harmed, and we may be unable to respond to the needs of our global business. The resumption of normal business operations after such interruptions may be delayed or constrained by lingering effects of COVID-19 on our suppliers, third-party service providers, and/or customers.

The degree to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, potential additional waves of infection, the actions to mitigate the virus and its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic makes it more difficult for us to forecast demand and provide guidance for the remainder of 2020. Accordingly, any guidance we provide is likely to be less reliable than usual, and actual results are more likely to differ from any such guidance. In light of the foregoing, investors are urged to put the guidance in context and not to place undue reliance on it.

Anticipated declines in worldwide economic conditions, at least in the short term, are likely to cause demand for our products to decrease and to adversely affect our business.

We anticipate declines in industry and worldwide economic conditions at least in the short term, and these declines are likely to adversely affect our business for a period of time. We expect that the COVID-19 pandemic and any additional waves of infection will cause an economic slowdown, and it is possible that it could cause a global recession or other adverse economic conditions across the world. In the event of a recession or other downturn in the worldwide economy, demand for our products would decline and our business would be adversely effected. Our revenue is primarily dependent upon demand from semiconductor manufacturers, which is largely driven by the current and anticipated demand for electronic products that utilize semiconductors. Despite recent increases in demand for semiconductors in applications such as smartphones, cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence, the semiconductor industry has historically been, and is likely to continue to be, highly cyclical with periodic significant downturns, resulting in significantly decreased demand for products such as ours. We have previously experienced significant revenue deterioration and operating losses due to severe downturns in the semiconductor industry, which often occur suddenly. The semiconductor industry is also affected by seasonal shifts in demand. Although we currently anticipate an economic downturn in the near term as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to predict its duration or severity, nor are we able to predict the timing, duration or severity of any future downturns in the semiconductor industry. As a result, we could underperform the market or our peers.

During downturns and periods of soft demand, our revenue is reduced, and we typically experience greater pricing pressure and shifts in product and customer mix, which often adversely affect our gross margin and net income. Even moderate seasonality can cause our operating results to fluctuate significantly from one period to the next. Uncertain and volatile economic, political, public health or business conditions in any of our key sales regions can cause or exacerbate negative trends in business and consumer spending and have historically impacted customer demand for our products. These conditions can cause material adverse changes in our results of operations and financial condition, including:

•a decline in demand for our products, which, given our limited backlog, will have an immediate impact on our revenues;

•an increase in reserves for accounts receivable due to our customers’ inability to pay us;

•lower utilization of our manufacturing facilities, which could lead to lower margins;

•an increase in write-offs for excess or obsolete inventory that we cannot sell;

•potential impairment charges relating to goodwill, intangible assets, manufacturing equipment or other long-lived assets, to the extent that any downturn indicates that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable;

•greater challenges in forecasting operating results, making business decisions, and identifying and prioritizing business risks; and

•additional cost reduction efforts, including additional restructuring activities, which may adversely affect our ability to capitalize on opportunities.

We anticipate that the COVID-19 pandemic, including potential additional waves of infection, will likely cause us to experience at least some of these adverse changes, but we cannot predict the degree to which they will occur. They may be more severe than we currently expect; for example, recent bookings of orders may be attributable to customers increasing their inventory to

reduce their exposure to risks of future supply disruptions, which could be an offset to future demand for our products. Furthermore, to remain competitive, we must maintain a satisfactory level of engineering, research and development, invest in our infrastructure and maintain the ability to respond to any increases in demand and, as a result, a lower volume of sales can have a large and disproportionate impact on our profitability.

Our revenues and operating results are variable.

Our revenues and operating results may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter or year-to-year due to a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. We manage our expenses based in part on our expectations of future revenues. Because some of our expenses are relatively fixed in the short term, a change in the timing of revenue or the amount of profit we generate from a small number of transactions can unfavorably affect operating results in a particular period. Factors that may cause our financial results to fluctuate unpredictably include:

•economic conditions in the semiconductor industry or in the other industries we serve;

•the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, the semiconductor industry, our manufacturing capabilities or our supply chain;

•the size and timing of customer orders;

•consolidation of our customers could impact their purchasing decisions and negatively affect our revenues;

•procurement shortages;

•the failure of our suppliers or outsource providers to perform their obligations;

•manufacturing difficulties;

•additional expenses we would expect to incur in our efforts to respond promptly to any supply shortages, manufacturing difficulties or other supplier problems;

•decisions to increase or accelerate our purchasing of raw materials, components or other supplies in an effort to mitigate supply risk;

•customer cancellations of or delays in shipments, installations or customer acceptances or, alternatively, acceleration of orders from customers to increase their inventory;

•our customers’ rate of replacement of our consumable products;

•changes in average selling prices, customer mix, and product mix;

•our ability to develop, introduce, and market new, enhanced, and competitive products in a timely manner;

•our competitors’ introduction of new products;

•legal or technical challenges to our products or technologies;

•disruptions in transportation, communication, demand, information technology, or supply, including strikes, acts of God, wars, terrorist activities, and natural or man-made disasters;

•legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory changes (including changes in import/export regulations and tariffs) or changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing requirements;

•changes in our estimated tax rate; and

•foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to exacerbate the adverse impact of many of these factors on our revenues and results of operations, at least in the short term.

We depend on single and limited source suppliers and an interruption in our ordinary sources of supply could affect our ability to manufacture our products and have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

We rely on single or limited source suppliers for raw materials, such as plastic polymers, filtration membranes, petroleum coke and other materials, which are critical to the manufacturing of our products. If we were to lose any one of these sources, it could be difficult for us to find an alternative supplier and we would need to qualify this new source through our customers’ rigorous qualification processes. Although we seek to reduce our dependence on sole and limited source suppliers, the partial or complete loss of any of these sources could interrupt our manufacturing operations and result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations. At times, we have experienced a limited supply of certain raw materials, which has resulted in delays, lost revenue, increased costs and risks associated with qualifying products made from such new raw materials with our customers. Events such as an industry-wide increase in demand for, or the discontinuation of, raw materials used in our products could

Table of Contents

harm our ability to acquire sufficient quantities and our manufacturing operations may be interrupted. For example, in 2019, we experienced a disruption in the supply of certain ceramic material for use in our coatings business in our SCEM division when the supplier was unable to produce these materials at the required specifications. In response, we worked collaboratively with the supplier to determine the root cause and to solve the manufacturing issue, reestablishing the supply of these materials. Although we were able to reestablish our supply of this raw material, we may be unable to do so in the future or with other raw materials, in which case raw materials shortages may adversely affect our operations. Additionally, our suppliers may not have the capacity to meet increases in our demand for raw materials, in turn, making it difficult for us to meet demand from our customers. Furthermore, prices for our raw materials can vary widely. While we have long-term arrangements with certain key suppliers that fix our price for the purchase of certain raw materials, if the cost of our raw materials increases and we are unable to correspondingly increase the sales price of our products or find other cost savings, our profit margins will decline.

Although we have not yet experienced any significant impacts or interruptions to our supply chain as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is no assurance that they will not occur in the future. Certain of our suppliers have faced difficulties maintaining operations in light of government-ordered restrictions and shelter-in-place mandates. If our suppliers or sub-suppliers are unable to maintain their operations or restrictions become more severe, we may encounter difficulties obtaining raw materials, which may cause us to fail to meet customer demand or require us to pay higher prices for these materials, either of which could harm our business and profitability. For example, one of our critical valve suppliers was shut down and was unable to supply us with valves for our gas purification products. Although in this instance we were able to procure this critical part from a second, pre-qualified source, we may be unable to find alternative sources of supply in the future and may therefore be adversely affected by supply interruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, an economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could harm the financial health of our suppliers and sub-suppliers. Although we regularly monitor the financial health of companies in our supply chain, financial hardship on our suppliers or sub-suppliers could cause a disruption in our ability to obtain raw materials or components required to manufacture our products, adversely affecting our operations or require us to alter our payment terms with certain suppliers, including prepaying for raw materials, which could put downward pressure on our cash flow.

We are exposed to the risks of operating a global business as a significant amount of our sales and manufacturing activity occur outside the United States.

Sales to customers outside the United States accounted for approximately 75%, 76%, 78% and 79% of our net sales in the six months ended June 27, 2020 and in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We anticipate that international sales will continue to account for a majority of our net sales. In addition, a number of our key domestic customers derive a significant portion of their revenues from sales in international markets. We also manufacture a significant portion of our products outside the United States and are dependent on international suppliers for many of our parts and raw materials. We intend to continue to pursue opportunities in both sales and manufacturing internationally. Our international operations are subject to a number of risks and potential costs that could adversely affect our revenue and profitability, including:

•border closures, travel bans, entry limitations or inspections, and other restrictions on the international movement of goods, including actions to limit the export of goods in order to secure a domestic supply in light of actual or anticipated global shortages, as well as the potential exercise of governmental power to requisition or prioritize the production of specified goods or to commandeer facilities in the public interest, such as in the effort to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, any of which could adversely affect our ability to obtain supplies and delivery our products to customers;

•government actions, laws, rules, regulations and policies, such as “trade wars,” tariffs, sanctions or other changes in international trade requirements that affect our business and that of our customers and suppliers, any of which could impose additional costs on our operations and limit our ability to operate our business;

•challenges in hiring and integrating workers in different countries;

•challenges in managing a diverse workforce with different experience levels, languages, cultures, customs, business practices and worker expectations, along with differing employment practices and labor issues;

•challenges of maintaining appropriate business processes, procedures and internal controls and complying with legal, environmental, health and safety, anti-bribery, anti-corruption and other regulatory requirements that vary by jurisdiction, including new and evolving requirements for social distancing and other measures to minimize the spread of COVID-19;

•challenges in developing relationships with local customers, suppliers and governments;

•fluctuating pricing and availability of raw materials and supply chain interruptions or slowdowns, including as a result of difficulties, financial or otherwise, faced by segments of the transportation industry;

•public health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic;

Table of Contents

•expense and complexity of complying with U.S. and foreign import and export regulations, including the ability to obtain required import and export licenses;

•fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates, including the relative strength or weakness of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies that are important to our business, including Japanese yen, euro, Taiwanese dollar, Korean won, Chinese yuan, Singapore dollar or Malaysian ringgit, which could cause our sales and profitability to decline;

•liability for foreign taxes assessed at rates higher than those applicable to our domestic operations;

•customer or government efforts to encourage operations and sourcing in a particular country, such as Korea and China, including efforts to develop and grow local competitors, requiring local manufacturing, and providing special incentives to government-backed local customers to buy from local competitors, even if their products are inferior to ours; and

•political and economic instability and uncertainty, which may result in severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, rating downgrades of sovereign debt, declining valuation of certain investments, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, and increased volatility in unemployment rates.

In the past, these factors have disrupted our operations and increased our costs, and we expect that these factors will continue to do so in the future.

Tariffs, export controls and other trade laws and restrictions resulting from international trade disputes, strained international relations, and changes to foreign and national security policy could have an adverse impact on our operations.

Tariffs, additional taxes, trade barriers and other measures, particularly those arising out of U.S.-China relations, may increase costs of raw materials and our manufacturing costs, decrease margins, reduce the competitiveness of our products, or inhibit our ability to sell products or purchase necessary equipment and supplies, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition. For example, both the U.S. and China have implemented several rounds of tariffs and retaliations, some of which have impacted certain raw materials we use. We have made operational changes in to mitigate the impact of these tariffs on our products, but our efforts may not be successful in the future.

In addition, we are subject to export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations that restrict the delivery of some of our products and services to certain end users, countries, and nationals of certain countries. In certain circumstances, these restrictions may prohibit the transfer of certain of our products, services and technologies, and in other circumstances they may require us to obtain a license from the U.S. government before delivering the controlled item or service. We must also comply with export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations imposed by other countries. Although we maintain an export and trade control compliance program, our compliance program may be ineffective or circumvented, exposing us to legal liabilities. Compliance with these laws could significantly limit our sales in the future. Changes in, and responses to, U.S. trade controls could reduce the competitiveness of our products and cause our sales to drop, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Over the last several years and accelerating this year, the U.S. government has significantly expanded export controls on certain technologies and commodities to certain markets, particularly with respect to semiconductor and other high technology exports to China. For example, effective June 29, 2020, the U.S. Department of Commerce imposed new export controls on the transfer of many U.S. products and technologies, including many commercial-grade electronics, to “military end users” in China, a term which may include many Chinese commercial companies that sell products to or do business with the military. Likewise, beginning in May 2019, the U.S. Department of Commerce has imposed significant restrictions on the transfer of any products from the United States, as well as many products produced overseas that incorporate U.S. content or rely on U.S. software or technology, to Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., and a large number of its overseas affiliates, including HiSilicon. The U.S. government is also engaged in an ongoing process of assessing which “emerging and foundational technologies” warrant new or additional controls, which could subject additional U.S.-origin products and services to more stringent export restrictions. I is possible that these modified regulations, and any future regulations could reduce demand for our products. In particular, these restrictive measures may reduce overall global demand for our customers’ products or for other products produced or manufactured in the United States or based on United States technology, in turn reducing demand for our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Owning our Common Stock

The price of our common stock has been volatile in the past and may be volatile in the future.

The price of our common stock has been volatile in the past and may be volatile in the future. In 2019, the closing price of our stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, or Nasdaq, ranged from a low of $27.43 to a high of $51.21, and from January 1, 2020 to July 16, 2020, it ranged from a low of $39.03 to a high of $64.51. The price of our common stock may show greater

Table of Contents

volatility in the future, particularly in light of the significant increase in volatility in the stock market in general as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing governmental actions. The trading price of our common stock is subject to significant volatility in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control or may be unrelated to our operating results, and which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, including the following:

•any decision we make to modify, qualify, withdraw or cease providing any guidance regarding our anticipated financial results for future periods, as well as potential decreased confidence in any guidance we do provide;

•the failure to meet the published expectations of securities analysts, which in the future may vary more significantly from our actual results;

•changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

•press releases or announcements by, or changes in market values of, comparable companies;

•volatility in the markets for high-technology stocks, general stock market price and volume fluctuations, which are particularly common among securities of high-technology companies;

•stock market price and volume fluctuations attributable to inconsistent trading volume levels;

•the public perception of equity values of publicly traded companies;

•fluctuations in our results of operations; and

•the other risks and uncertainties described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Annual Report on Form 10-K or our other filings with the SEC.

Fluctuations in our results could cause our stock price to decline significantly. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations may not be meaningful, and you should not rely upon them as indicators of our future performance. Future decreases in our stock price may adversely impact our ability to raise sufficient additional capital in the future, if needed.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The Company did not purchase any of its equity securities during the quarter ended June 27, 2020.

On February 5, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program, effective February 16, 2020, covering up to an aggregate of $125 million of the Company’s common stock, during a period of twelve months, in open market transactions and in accordance with one or more pre-arranged stock trading plans to be established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This repurchase program replaced the previous repurchase program, which was originally approved in February 2018 and amended in November 2018 and which expired pursuant to its terms on February 15, 2020. In March 2020, the Company suspended its share repurchase program.

The Company issues common stock awards under its equity incentive plans. In the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company treats shares of common stock withheld for tax purposes on behalf of its employees in connection with the vesting or exercise of the awards as common stock repurchases because they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued upon vesting or exercise. These withheld shares of common stock are not considered common stock repurchases under the Company’s authorized common stock repurchase plan.
