Global Trade Environment
Current report
Recent and continuing developments in U.S. and foreign trade policy have heightened global trade tensions and sparked significant uncertainty in macroeconomic and geopolitical environments, particularly with respect to China. The nature of our global business exposes us to risks associated with trade conflicts between the U.S. and its trading partners. Additionally, our U.S. manufacturing operations rely on a global supply chain to manufacture our products, including, in some instances, raw materials from China. The recent tariffs and other similar trade policies may increase our sourcing and manufacturing costs, force us to find alternative suppliers, or result in manufacturing and delivery delays. As a result, we may face a reduction in the demand for, and in the competitiveness of, our products, harm to our relationships with our customers, and decreased profitability. These issues may be exacerbated by the overall macroeconomic uncertainty stemming from current trade tensions which may slow economic growth and negatively impact the demand for products containing semiconductors, thereby decreasing the demand for our products.
Current report
Our strategy has been, and will continue to be, to build a resilient and robust supply chain and a global manufacturing footprint near our customers. While this strategy mitigates the financial and operational impact of these trade policies, we expect that our business will be impacted, particularly in the near term, with respect to our products manufactured in the United States and sold to customers located in China. Given the dynamic nature of this situation, the direct and indirect impact to our customers and our business is difficult to quantify; however, we will continue to closely monitor this evolving situation, further leverage our global footprint and regional supply chain, and explore additional options to mitigate this volatility.
Current report
Interest income Interest income was $1.4 million in the three months ended March 29, 2025, compared to $3.0 million in the three months ended March 30, 2024. The decrease primarily reflects lower average interest rates.
Current report
The change in the effective tax rate from 2024 to 2025 primarily relates to an increase in discrete expense of $3.1 million recorded in connection with share-based compensation.
Current report
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) introduced Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Pillar 2 rules that impose a global minimum tax rate of 15%. Several countries enacted legislation to implement proposals from BEPS Pillar 2 beginning in 2024, with legislation in additional countries becoming effective during fiscal 2025. We have evaluated the impact of this legislation based on Entegris’ current global landscape and do not believe it will have a material impact on our effective tax rate. We will continue to monitor the ongoing legislation throughout the year and evaluate the future potential impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Impact of Conflict Between Israel and Hamas
Previous report
The military conflict between Israel and militant groups led by Hamas and other tensions and conflicts in the Middle East have caused uncertainty in the global markets, including, but not limited to, disruptions to shipping routes and risks of further escalations. Revenue relating to products manufactured from raw materials or components sourced from or through this region does not constitute a material portion of our business and historically we have not had significant revenue in this region. There continues to be uncertainty regarding the ultimate impact these conflicts may have on the global economy, supply chains, logistics, fuel prices, raw material pricing and our business.

For the third quarter of 2024, MS net sales decreased to $346.6 million, down 20% compared to $435.5 million in the comparable period last year.

MS reported a segment profit of $71.7 million in the third quarter of 2024, up 26% from $57.0 million segment profit in the year-ago period. The segment profit increase was primarily associated with the absence of a goodwill impairment charge of $15.9 million related to the EC reporting unit in the year-ago period (see Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion).
Current wording

Unallocated general and administrative expenses totaled $16.6 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $21.4 million in the comparable period last year. The $4.9 million decrease is primarily due to a $9.9 million decrease in integration, deal and transaction costs related to the acquisition of CMC Materials, partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in employee costs, primarily due to the timing of the annual equity award grant and $3.0 million increase in non-income tax expense.

Previous wording
We may seek to take advantage of opportunities to raise additional capital through 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 year 2024, we have not experienced difficulty accessing 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.
