1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations Entegris, Inc. (“Entegris”, “the Company”, “us”, “we”, or “our”) is a leading supplier of advanced materials and process solutions for 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 October 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the results of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, the equity statements as of and for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, and cash flows for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020.

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, 2020. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued payroll and related benefits, and other accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to the short maturity of those items. As of October 2, 2021, the Company has cash equivalents of $15.0 million, consisting of money market funds. The fair value of cash equivalents was determined based on Level 1 inputs, which include unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities, was $959.8 million at October 2, 2021, compared to the carrying amount of long-term debt, including current maturities, of $936.7 million at October 2, 2021.

Recently Adopted 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, 2020, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company adopted this new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Company currently has no material recent accounting pronouncements yet to be adopted.

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 sales.

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 with respect to deferred revenue 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 payment terms and revenue recognized is based on time and materials.

The Company also enters into arrangements to license its intellectual property. These arrangements typically permit the customer to use a specialized manufacturing process or patented technology and in return the Company receives a royalty fee. The Company recognizes revenue for a sales-based or usage-based royalty promised in exchange for a license of intellectual property 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 recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet and is recognized as revenue when the free product is redeemed or when the likelihood of redemption is remote. The Company has deemed that the amount is immaterial for disclosure.

The Company provides for the estimated costs of fulfilling its 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 the Company does 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 adjusts 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.

3. ACQUISITIONS

During the nine months ended October 2, 2021, the Company completed an acquisition for $2.5 million, substantially all of which was paid in cash and qualified as a business combination. This acquisition has been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations since its acquisition date. The effect of this business combination was not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations.

Global Measurement Technologies, Inc.

On July 10, 2020, the Company acquired Global Measurement Technologies, Inc., an analytical instrument provider for critical processes in semiconductor production, and its manufacturing partner Clean Room Plastics, Inc. (collectively, “GMTI”). GMTI reports into the Advanced Materials Handling segment of the Company. Costs associated with the acquisition of GMTI were $0.4 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, respectively, 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 was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and GMTI’s results of operations are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and since July 10, 2020. The acquisition does not constitute a material business combination.

The purchase price for GMTI includes cash consideration of $36.3 million, net of cash acquired, which was funded from the Company’s existing cash on hand.

The purchase price of GMTI exceeds the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed by $16.1 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 deductible for income tax purposes.

During the quarter ended September 26, 2020, the Company finalized its fair value determination of the assets acquired and the 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:

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 nine months ended September 26, 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 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.

2029 Senior Unsecured Notes

On April 30, 2021, the Company issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 3.625% senior unsecured notes due May 1, 2029 (the “2029 Notes”). The 2029 Notes were issued under an indenture dated as of April 30, 2021 (the “2029 Notes Indenture”) by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Interest on the 2029 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on November 1, 2021. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $4.1 million in connection with the 2029 Notes. These costs are reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the face amount of the 2029 Notes.

The Company used the net proceeds of the offering, together with cash on hand and $51 million borrowed under the Company’s senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), to pay the redemption price for the redemption in full of the $550 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and to pay certain fees and expenses related to the offering. In connection with the redemption of the 2026 Notes, the Company incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of $23.1 million, which is included in Other expense (income), net on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The 2029 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 subsidiaries guarantee indebtedness under the Company’s senior secured term loan facility and Revolving Facility (together, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) or the Company’s 4.375% senior unsecured notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), and any other subsidiary of the Company, to the extent it incurs certain additional indebtedness (collectively, the “Guarantors”).

The 2029 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 2028 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 2029 Notes.

At any time prior to May 1, 2024, the Company may, at its option, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes, at a redemption price equal to 103.625% of the principal amount of the 2029 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 2029 Notes Indenture, by the Company; provided that (1) at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes issued under the 2029 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.

Table of Contents

Additionally, at any time prior to May 1, 2024, the 2029 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 2029 Notes redeemed, plus a “make whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date.

On or after May 1, 2024, the Company may, on any one or more occasions, redeem all or a part of the 2029 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 2029 Notes redeemed, to, but not including, the applicable date of redemption, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on May 1 of the years indicated below:


Year	Percentage
2024	102.719	%
2025	101.813	%
2026	100.906	%
2027 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 2029 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 2029 Notes Indenture 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 sales-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 2029 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 2029 Notes Indenture. The Company was in compliance with all of the above covenants at October 2, 2021.

The 2029 Notes Indenture provides for events of default which, if certain of them occur, would permit the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding 2029 Notes to declare the principal of, and interest or premium, if any, and any other monetary obligations on, all the then-outstanding 2029 Notes to be due and payable immediately.

Amendment of Revolving Facility

In connection with its issuance of the 2029 Notes, the Company amended the Revolving Facility to provide for, among other things, lending commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to $400.0 million, up from $300.0 million, and to extend the maturity to April 30, 2026 from November 6, 2023.

7. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The following table presents a reconciliation of the share amounts used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share:


	Three months ended		Nine months ended
(In thousands)	October 2, 2021	September 26, 2020	October 2, 2021	September 26, 2020
Basic—weighted common shares outstanding	135,583	134,957	135,383	134,801
Weighted common shares assumed upon exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted common stock	1,048	1,295	1,173	1,408
Diluted—weighted common shares and common shares equivalent outstanding	136,631	136,252	136,556	136,209

The Company excluded the following shares underlying stock-based awards from the calculations of diluted EPS because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020:

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, 2020 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 or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 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 supplier of advanced materials and process solutions for the semiconductor and other high-technology industries. Our mission is to help our customers improve their productivity, performance and technology by providing solutions for the most advanced manufacturing environments. We leverage our unique breadth of capabilities to create mission-critical microcontamination control products, specialty chemicals and advanced materials handling solutions that maximize manufacturing yields, reduce manufacturing costs and enable higher device performance for our customers.

Our customized materials solutions enable the highest levels of performance essential to the manufacture of semiconductors. As our customers introduce more complex architectures and search for new materials with better electrical and structural properties to improve the performance of their devices, they rely on Entegris as a trusted partner to address these challenges. We understand these challenges and have solutions to address them, such as our advanced deposition materials, implant gases, formulated cleaning chemistries and selective etch chemistries. Our customers also require greater end-to-end materials purity and integrity in their manufacturing processes that, when combined with smaller dimensions and more complex architectures, can be challenging to achieve. To enable the use of new metals and the further miniaturization of chips, and to maximize yield and increase long-term device reliability, we provide products such as our advanced liquid and gas filtration and purification products that help to selectively remove new classes of contaminants throughout the semiconductor supply chain. In addition, to ensure purity levels are maintained across the entire supply chain, from bulk manufacturing, to transportation to and delivery through a fab, to application onto the wafer, we provide high-purity packaging and materials handling products.

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 segment, or SCEM, 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 segment, or MC, 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 segment, or AMH, develops solutions to monitor, protect, transport and deliver critical liquid chemistries, wafers and other substrates for a broad set of applications in the semiconductor, life sciences 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. With the technology, capabilities and complementary product portfolios from these segments, we believe we are uniquely positioned to collaborate across divisions to create new, co-optimized and increasingly integrated solutions for our customers. For example, our SCEM segment offers a highly selective nitride etch chemistry, our MC segment provides a liquid filter that is specifically matched to that formulation and our AMH segment ensures the integrity of the product as it is moved to and through the fab environment. 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 a Saturday. The Company’s fiscal quarters in 2021 end April 3, 2021, July 3, 2021, October 2, 2021 and December 31, 2021.

Key operating factors Key factors that 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

Table of Contents

Company’s sales are subject to the effects of industry cyclicality, technological change, substantial competition, pricing pressures and foreign currency fluctuations.

•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

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the global economy and cause significant macroeconomic uncertainty. Infection rates vary across the countries in which we operate. Governmental authorities have continued to implement numerous and constantly evolving measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, masking recommendations and mandates, vaccine recommendations and mandates, limits on gatherings, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and business shutdowns. We have taken proactive, aggressive action to protect the health and safety of our employees, customers, partners and suppliers, consistent with the latest and evolving governmental guidelines. We expect to continue to implement appropriate measures until the COVID-19 pandemic is adequately contained. 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 and requirements or as we otherwise see fit to protect the health and safety of our employees, customers, partners and suppliers.

While certain of our operations have from time-to-time been temporarily affected by government-mandated restrictions, to date we have not experienced significant adverse impacts to our global operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Broader impacts of the pandemic have included a more dynamic supply chain and global logistics environment, and we have experienced instances of raw material constraints, higher freight costs and delivery delays in both inbound shipments of raw materials and outgoing shipments of finished products to customers. While we continue to focus on mitigating risks to our operations and supply chain in the current industry environment, we expect some of the foregoing challenges to linger. From a demand perspective, during the third quarter of 2021 we continued to see strong demand for our leading-edge products, largely driven by accelerated digitalization, 5G applications and high-performance computing.

In the current circumstances, given the dynamic nature of the situation, any impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future continues to be difficult to estimate and predict, as it depends on future events 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 emergence of more virulent or more dangerous strains of the virus, the actions taken to mitigate the virus or its impact, the development, distribution, efficacy and acceptance of vaccines worldwide, how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume, the broader impact that the pandemic is having on the economy and our industry and specific implications the pandemic may have on our suppliers and on global logistics. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for additional information regarding risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including under the caption “The COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing governmental responses could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.”

Overall Summary of Financial Results

For the three months ended October 2, 2021, net sales increased 20% to $579.5 million, compared to $481.0 million for the three months ended September 26, 2020. Total net sales increased primarily as a result of strong growth across all three segments, as we benefited from robust industry conditions and record demand for our products and solutions. Net sales for the three months ended October 2, 2021 included sales of $0.7 million from acquired businesses and favorable foreign currency translation effects of $0.2 million.

The Company experienced a 45.6% gross margin for the three months ended October 2, 2021, compared to 47.0% in the comparable year-ago period. The gross margin decrease was primarily due to an unfavorable sales mix and higher materials, labor and freight costs, partially offset by higher sales levels.

As a result of the aforementioned factors, the Company reported net income of $117.5 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, for the quarter ended October 2, 2021, compared to net income of $79.3 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, a year ago.

Cash and cash equivalents were $475.8 million at October 2, 2021, compared with $580.9 million at December 31, 2020. The Company had outstanding long-term debt (excluding current maturities) of $936.7 million at October 2, 2021, compared to $1,085.8 million at December 31, 2020.

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, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 5, 2021. 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 business acquisitions. There have been no material changes in these aforementioned critical accounting policies.

Engineering, research and development expenses in the nine months ended September 26, 2020	$	98,499
Employee costs	12,820
Project materials	7,773
Other increases, net	2,600
Engineering, research and development expenses in the nine months ended October 2, 2021	$	121,692

Amortization expenses Amortization of intangible assets was $11.8 million in the three months ended October 2, 2021, compared to $11.7 million for the three months ended September 26, 2020. The increase primarily reflects additional amortization expense associated with recent acquisitions.

Amortization of intangible assets was $35.6 million in the nine months ended October 2, 2021, compared to $41.2 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2020. The decrease primarily reflects the elimination of amortization expense of $6.7

million for acquired identifiable intangible assets that became fully amortized in previous periods, partially offset by additional amortization expense of $1.3 million associated with recent acquisitions.

Interest expense Interest expense includes interest associated with debt outstanding and the amortization of debt issuance costs associated with such borrowings. Interest expense was $9.4 million in the three months ended October 2, 2021, compared to $12.8 million in the three months ended September 26, 2020. The decrease primarily reflects lower average debt levels and interest rates.

Interest expense was $31.7 million in the nine months ended October 2, 2021, compared to $36.3 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2020. The decrease reflects lower average debt levels and interest rates.

Interest income Interest income of $0.1 million in the three months ended October 2, 2021 was flat compared to $0.1 million in the three months ended September 26, 2020.

Interest income was $0.2 million in the nine months ended October 2, 2021, compared to $0.7 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2020. The decrease reflects lower average interest rates and cash levels.

Other expense (income), net Other expense, net was $1.9 million in the three months ended October 2, 2021 and consisted mainly of foreign currency transaction losses of $1.9 million. Other income, net was $1.8 million in the three months ended September 26, 2020 and consisted mainly of foreign currency transaction gains of $2.9 million, partially offset by loss on debt extinguishment costs of $0.9 million associated with payments on the Company’s senior secured term loan facility due 2025, or the Term Loan Facility.

Other expense, net was $29.8 million in the nine months ended October 2, 2021 and consisted mainly of a loss on extinguishment of debt of $23.1 million associated with the redemption of the Company’s $550 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2026, or the 2026 Notes (see note 6 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements), and foreign currency transaction losses of $6.3 million. Other income, net was $1.4 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2020 and consisted primarily of foreign currency transaction gains of $4.2 million, partially offset by losses on debt extinguishment costs of $2.4 million associated with payments on the Term Loan Facility.

Income tax expense Income tax expense was $10.6 million and $39.9 million in the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021, respectively, compared to income tax expense of $16.6 million and $39.5 million in the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, respectively. The Company’s year-to-date effective income tax rate at October 2, 2021 was 12.1%, compared to 16.0% at September 26, 2020.

The decrease in the year-to-date effective income tax rate from 2020 to 2021 primarily relates to the reversal of a valuation allowance on foreign tax credits generated during 2020 and 2021 of $9.4 million, the recognition of a capital loss tax benefit of $3.8 million recorded during the nine months ended October 2, 2021 and a decrease in the foreign effective tax rate due to a change in the foreign income mix. These benefits were offset in part by tax recorded on the sale of intangible property of $3.5 million in the quarter ended July 3, 2021 and a valuation allowance of $3.4 million on federal foreign tax credits recorded in the quarter ended September 26, 2020. Additionally, the income tax expense for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020 includes discrete benefits of $13.1 million and $12.0 million, respectively, recorded in connection with share-based compensation.

Net income Due to the factors noted above, the Company recorded net income of $117.5 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, in the three months ended October 2, 2021, compared to net income of $79.3 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, in the three months ended September 26, 2020. In the three months ended October 2, 2021, net income, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 20.3% from 16.5% in the year-ago period.

In the nine months ended October 2, 2021, the Company recorded net income of $290.9 million, or $2.13 per diluted share, compared to net income of $208.3 million, or $1.53 per diluted share, in the nine months ended September 26, 2020. In the nine months ended October 2, 2021, net income, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 17.5% from 15.5% in the year-ago period.

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

The Company’s principal non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income, together with related measures thereof, and non-GAAP earnings per share.

Non-GAAP earnings per share increased 35% to $2.47 in the nine months ended September 26, 2020, compared to $1.83 in the nine months ended September 26, 2020.

The increases in adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income and non-GAAP earnings per share for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021 compared to the year-ago periods are generally attributable to the increases in sales and gross profit.

Segment Analysis

The Company reports its financial performance based on three reporting segments. The following is a discussion of the results of operations of these three business segments. See note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Company’s three segments.

Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials (SCEM)

For the third quarter of 2021, SCEM net sales increased to $176.4 million, up 17% compared to $150.5 million in the comparable period last year. The sales increase was primarily due to increased sales of specialty gases and advanced deposition materials. SCEM reported a segment profit of $41.1 million in the third quarter of 2021, up 26% from $32.6 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 an 11% increase in operating expenses, primarily due to higher compensation costs.

For the nine months ended October 2, 2021, SCEM net sales increased to $523.3 million, up 19% compared to $440.9 million in the comparable period last year. The sales increase was mainly due to increased sales of specialty gases and advanced deposition materials. SCEM reported a segment profit of $120.6 million in the nine months ended October 2, 2021, up 23% from $98.2 million in the year-ago period also due to higher sales levels and a gain on a sale of non-core intangibles, partially offset by an 11% increase in operating expenses.

Microcontamination Control (MC)

For the third quarter of 2021, MC net sales increased to $225.9 million, up 17% compared to $193.5 million in the comparable period last year. The sales increase was mainly due to improved performance across substantially all platforms, with growth

especially strong in liquid filtration and gas microcontamination products. MC reported a segment profit of $78.4 million in the third quarter of 2021, up 21% from $64.9 million in the year-ago period. The segment profit improvement was primarily due to higher gross profit related to increased sales volume, partially offset by a 4% increase in operating expenses due to higher compensation costs.

For the nine months ended October 2, 2021, MC net sales increased to $660.5 million, up 23% compared to $536.6 million in the comparable period last year. The sales increase was mainly due to improved performance across substantially all platforms, with growth especially strong in liquid filtration and gas filtration products. MC reported a segment profit of $227.1 million in the nine months ended October 2, 2021, up 28% from $177.2 million in the year-ago period. The segment profit improvement was primarily due to higher gross profit related to the increased sales volume, partially offset by a 13% increase in operating expenses due to higher compensation costs.

Advanced Materials Handling (AMH)

For the third quarter of 2021, AMH net sales increased to $186.2 million, up 29% compared to $144.4 million in the comparable period last year. The sales increase was mainly due to improved sales from wafer handling, fluid handling and measurement products and sales of our Aramus high purity bags, as well as additional sales of $0.7 million attributable to the Company’s acquisition of Global Measurement Technologies, Inc., or GMTI. AMH reported a segment profit of $40.5 million in the third quarter of 2021, up 22% from $33.3 million in the year-ago period. The segment profit increase was primarily due to higher sales volume, partially offset by a 14% increase in operating expenses due to higher compensation costs.

For the nine months ended October 2, 2021, AMH net sales increased to $507.2 million, up 31% compared to $386.9 million in the comparable period last year. The sales increase was mainly due to improved sales from wafer handling, fluid handling and measurement products and sales of our Aramus high purity bags, as well as additional sales of $6.8 million attributable to the acquisition of GMTI. AMH reported a segment profit of $114.7 million in the nine months ended October 2, 2021, up 50% from $76.7 million in the year-ago period. The segment profit increase was primarily due to higher sales volume, partially offset by a 16% increase in operating expenses, primarily due to higher compensation costs.

Unallocated general and administrative expenses

Unallocated general and administrative expenses totaled $8.8 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $12.3 million in the comparable period last year. The $3.5 million decrease mainly reflects a $2.0 million decrease in charitable donation costs and a $1.0 million decrease in deal and integration costs from the comparable period last year.

Unallocated general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 totaled $34.5 million, up from $28.7 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2020. The $5.8 million increase mainly reflects higher employee costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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


In thousands	October 2, 2021		December 31, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents	$	475,752	$	580,893
Working capital	966,292		931,631
Total debt	936,704		1,085,783

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. On April 30, 2021, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.625% senior unsecured notes due May 1, 2029, or the 2029 Notes. The Company used the net proceeds of the offering, together with cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s senior secured revolving credit facility, or the Revolving Facility, to redeem all of the 2026 Notes. The redemption of the 2026 Notes resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $23.1 million. In connection with our issuance of the 2029 Notes, we amended the Revolving Facility to provide for, among other things, lending commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to $400.0 million (up from $300.0 million) and to extend the maturity date to April 30, 2026.

Although there is uncertainty regarding the 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 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 and for the longer term.

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

Table of Contents

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 2021, we have not experienced difficulty accessing the capital and credit markets, but 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:


	Nine months ended
(in thousands)	October 2, 2021		September 26, 2020
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	284,474	$	242,656
Net cash used in investing activities	(131,820)		(190,440)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(254,513)		44,352
(Decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	(105,141)		96,061

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 $284.5 million in the nine months ended October 2, 2021, compared to $242.7 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2020. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to higher net income, net of non-cash adjustments, including the loss on debt extinguishment and modifications, partially offset by the net change 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 operating activities of $153.0 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 compared to a decrease of $118.6 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2020.

Changes in working capital and other assets and liabilities for the nine months ended October 2, 2021 were driven primarily by increases in inventories, accounts payable and income taxes payable. The change for inventory was driven by an increase in business activity. The change for accounts payable was due to timing of payments. The change for income taxes payable was primarily driven by higher income taxes paid.

Investing activities Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $131.8 million in the nine months ended October 2, 2021, compared to $190.4 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2020. The change resulted primarily from a reduction in cash paid for acquisitions of businesses, partially offset by higher cash paid for acquisition of property, plant and equipment.

Acquisition of property, plant and equipment totaled $134.0 million in the nine months ended October 2, 2021, which primarily reflected investments in facilities, equipment and tooling, compared to $79.6 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2020, which primarily reflected investments in equipment and tooling.

In the nine months ended October 2, 2021, the Company acquired a business for $2.5 million, net of cash acquired. In the nine months ended September 26, 2020, the Company used cash to acquire the Sinmat business and GMTI for $111.1 million, net of cash acquired. The transactions are described in further detail in note 3 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of October 2, 2021, the Company expects its full-year capital expenditures in 2021 to be approximately $225.0 million for growth capacity investments and the initial phase of the previously announced investment in our new facility in Taiwan. As of October 2, 2021, the Company had outstanding capital purchase obligations of $192.4 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 used in financing activities totaled $254.5 million during the nine months ended October 2, 2021, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $44.4 million during the nine months ended September 26, 2020. The change was primarily due to a $318.1 million increase in payments on long-term debt and debt extinguishment and a $20.4 million increase in repurchase and retirement of common stock. The Company made a payment of $569.1 million related to the redemption of the $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes during the nine months ended October 2, 2021, compared to a payment of $251.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Facility in the nine months ended September 26, 2020. The increase in cash flows used in financing activities was offset in part by the absence of a $16.1 million deferred acquisition payment related to our acquisition of Digital Specialty Chemicals in 2020, a $13.0 million increase in proceeds from the issuance of common stock and a $9.2 million decrease in taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards.

Our total dividend payments were $32.7 million in the nine months ended October 2, 2021, compared to $32.4 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2020. We have paid a cash dividend in each of the past 16 quarters. On October 13, 2021, the

Table of Contents

Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share to be paid on November 17, 2021 to shareholders of record on the close of business on October 27, 2021.

Other Liquidity and Capital Resources Considerations

On April 30, 2021, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes. The Company used the net proceeds of the offering, together with cash on hand and borrowings under the Revolving Facility, to redeem all of the 2026 Notes. We capitalized $4.1 million of third-party expenses related to the issuance of the 2029 as debt issuance costs. At October 2, 2021, we had $400.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding on the 2029 Notes.

The Company voluntarily redeemed its $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes at a redemption price of 103.469% (expressed as percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest of $5.6 million. The redemption of the 2026 Notes resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $23.1 million.

In connection with our issuance of the 2029 Notes, we amended the Revolving Facility to provide for, among other things, lending commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to $400.0 million (up from $300.0 million) and to extend the maturity date to April 30, 2026. The Revolving Facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either a base rate (such as prime rate) or LIBOR plus, in each case, an applicable margin. At October 2, 2021, there was no balance outstanding under the Revolving Facility and we had undrawn outstanding letters of credit of $0.2 million.

The Company’s Term Loan Facility matures on November 6, 2025 and bore interest at a rate per annum of 2.1% at October 2, 2021. As of October 2, 2021, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan Facility was $145.0 million.

As of October 2, 2021, we had $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior unsecured notes due April 15, 2028 outstanding.

Through October 2, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under its debt arrangements.

The Company also has a line of credit with one bank that provides for borrowings in Japanese yen for the Company’s Japanese subsidiaries, equivalent to an aggregate of approximately $9.0 million. There were no outstanding borrowings under this line of credit at October 2, 2021.

As of October 2, 2021, the Company’s sources of available funds were its cash and cash equivalents of $475.8 million, funds available under the Revolving Facility and international credit facilities and cash flow generated from operations. As of October 2, 2021, the amount of cash and cash equivalents held in certain of our foreign operations totaled approximately $330.8 million. If we repatriate such funds, we may 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 on any earnings that are not indefinitely reinvested. We estimate that no material withholding taxes would be incurred if any indefinitely reinvested earnings were distributed.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of October 2, 2021, 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, 2020, except for long-term debt. On April 30, 2021, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2029 Notes. On May 4, 2021, the Company redeemed the $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes.

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

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, as well as certain other supplemental non-GAAP financial measures included in the discussion of the Company’s financial results.

Table of Contents

Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income before, as applicable, (1) income tax expense, (2) interest expense, (3) interest income, (4) other expense (income), 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 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 is defined by the Company as net income before, as applicable, (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 extinguishment of debt and modification, (6) amortization of intangible assets, (7) the tax effect of the foregoing adjustments to net income, stated on a per share basis and (8) tax effect of legal entity restructuring.

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 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 $2.6 million and $2.4 million as of October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, respectively.

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% and 23.3% of the Company’s sales for the quarters ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, respectively, are denominated in these currencies, respectively. 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 October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, revenue for the quarters would have been negatively impacted by approximately $13.4 million and $11.2 million, respectively.

The Company occasionally uses derivative financial instruments to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risks associated with its foreign-based operations. At October 2, 2021, 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 Exchange Act) as of October 2, 2021. The term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange 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 Exchange 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 October 2, 2021, 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 Exchange 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 Exchange 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.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

As of October 2, 2021, 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 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On December 14, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program, effective February 16, 2021, covering the repurchase of 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 Exchange Act. This repurchase program replaced the previous repurchase program, which was originally approved in February 2020 and which expired pursuant to its terms on February 15, 2021. The previous program had substantially the same terms.


Period	(a) Total Number of Shares Purchased	(b) Average Price Paid per Share	(c) Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	(d) Maximum Number (or Approximate Dollar Value) of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs
July 4, 2021 - August 7, 2021	48,000	$118.42	48,000	$96,102,875
August 8, 2021 - September 4, 2021	59,500	$116.88	59,500	$89,148,784
September 5, 2021 - October 2, 2021	57,858	$127.24	57,858	$81,787,007
Total	165,358	$120.95	165,358	$81,787,007

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 and not included in the table above.
