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 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 should mitigate the Company from financial and operational impacts of a volatile trade environment in the medium to long term, our business could still be impacted by sudden changes in trade policy in the near term, particularly, for example, 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

In January 2026, we completed an assessment of the useful lives of our property, plant and equipment and adjusted the estimated useful lives of certain property, plant and equipment to more closely reflect the expected economic lives of these assets. These adjustments followed an analysis of our actual usage of assets, including the technological and physical obsolescence of these assets, our ability to continue to use equipment, historical usage trends, and anticipated capital plans and technology roadmaps, as well as industry trends and practices. Based on this analysis, we determined that the increase in useful lives was warranted and consistent with the Company’s historical and anticipated use of these assets. The updated estimated useful lives of certain assets for financial reporting purposes are as follows: buildings and improvements, 5 to 35 years increased to 5 to 40 years; manufacturing equipment, 5 to 10 years increased 5 to 14 years; canister and cylinder 3 to 12 years increased to 3 to 19 years; molds 3 to 5 years increased to 3 to 9 years and lab equipment, 3 to 8 years increased to 3 to 9 years.

Current report

This change in accounting estimate is effective beginning in fiscal year 2026 and is applied prospectively to the assets on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 and to future asset purchases. Based on the carrying amount of the assets included in property, plant and equipment, net in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025, we expect total depreciation expense in 2026 to be reduced by $72.9 million. We expect this change will result in an increase in gross margin of approximately $52.4 million, a decrease in ER&D expenses of approximately $11.4 million and a decrease in ending inventory values of $9.1 million.

Current report

The decrease in the effective tax rate from 2024 to 2025 primarily relates to lower income and the release of unrecognized tax benefits resulting from the expiration of applicable statute of limitations. This benefit was partially offset by an increase in discrete tax expense recorded associated with share-based compensation and the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Current report

For 2025, APS net sales decreased to $1,799.1 million, down 3% $1,850.2 million in 2024. The sales decrease was mainly due to a decline in facilities-based capital expenditure investments in the semiconductor industry, which led to decreased demand for our fluid handling products and FOUPs, partially offset by an increase in sales from gas and liquid filtration products.

Current report

The non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain specific items (“Special Items”), including certain items related to mergers and acquisitions; divestitures; restructuring and severance charges; impairments of assets; refinancing; certain income tax items and other discrete adjustments related to non-recurring, unusual or unanticipated charges, expenses or gains. We evaluate Special Items on an individual basis. Our evaluation of whether to exclude a Special Item for purposes of determining our non-GAAP financial measures considers both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the Special Item, including among other things (i) its nature, (ii) whether or not it relates to our ongoing business operations, and (iii) whether or not we expect it to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis.

Previous report

In light of the current geopolitical environment, in the near term, we anticipate greater uncertainty and inconsistency among the jurisdictions in which we operate with respect to policies and regulations that affect our business, including, without limitation, trade regulations, environmental regulations, labor and immigration regulations, tax policies, tariffs, sanctions and export controls. This may add additional uncertainty and volatility to business planning and forecasting for us and for our customers. While we continually monitor and explore options to mitigate this volatility through appropriate adjustments to our business planning and processes, the ultimate impact this rapidly evolving regulatory environment may have on the global economy, supply chains, logistics, raw material pricing and our business is likely to remain uncertain for some time.

Previous report

Previous report

Company’s Existing Credit Agreement and foreign currency transaction losses of $5.7 million, partially offset by net proceeds received of $10.9 million resulting from the termination of the definitive agreement with Infineum related to the PIM business.

Previous report

The change in the effective tax rate from 2023 to 2024 primarily relates to the integration of the CMC acquisition and, discrete divestiture activity that occurred in 2023. Additionally, the tax rate was lower in 2023 due to changes in U.S. tax regulations pertaining to foreign tax credits.

Previous report

For 2023, MS net sales increased to $1,689.5 million, up 22% from $1,380.2 million in 2022. The sales increase primarily reflects the inclusion of sales of $537.8 million attributed to acquisitions, primarily of CMC Materials, and also reflects modestly improved sales of advanced deposition materials, formulated cleans, selective etch and specialty coating products.

Previous report

MS reported a segment profit of $296.4 million for 2023, up 35% compared to $219.2 million in 2022. The increase in MS’s profit in 2023 was primarily due to the segment profit attributed to the CMC Materials acquisition, partially offset by unfavorable product mix and a $61.9 million charge for a fair value write-up resulting from the sale of acquired CMC Materials inventory.

Previous report

For 2024, APS net sales are approximately flat at $1,850.2 million, compared to $1,846.6 million in 2023.

Previous report

APS reported a segment profit of $496.1 million for 2024, down 7% compared to $531.4 million in 2023. The decrease in APS’s profit in 2024 was primarily due to increased costs associated with the ramp up of our new manufacturing facility in Taiwan and higher operating expenses.

Previous report

For 2023, APS net sales decreased to $1,846.6 million, down 4% from $1,914.0 million in 2022. The sales decrease was primarily due to lower sales from our microenvironment solutions products, partially offset by improved sales from our liquid filtration products.

Previous report

Unallocated general and administrative expenses for 2023 totaled $114.2 million compared to $190.5 million for 2022. The $76.3 million decrease is primarily due to a $95.7 million decrease in deal, transaction and integration costs related to the acquisition of CMC Materials, partially offset by an increase in employee costs of $14.1 million.

Previous report

Acquisition of property and equipment totaled $315.6 million in 2024, which primarily reflected investments in facilities, equipment and tooling, compared to $456.8 million in 2023, which also primarily reflected investments in facilities, equipment and tooling. Capital expenditures in 2024 included spending related to our previously announced investment in our KSP site and new manufacturing facility in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Previous wording

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company announced an internal reorganization, combining two complementary divisions into one and realigning its customer facing organization. Our business is now organized and operated in two operating segments as discussed below. The current annual and succeeding annual periods will disclose the reportable segments with prior periods recast to reflect the change. These segments share common business systems and processes, technology centers and technology roadmaps.

Current wording

Our business is organized and operated in two operating segments.

Previous wording

With our complementary capabilities, we believe we are uniquely positioned to create new, co-optimized and increasingly integrated solutions for our customers, which should translate into improved device performance, lower cost of ownership and faster time to market. For example, we have the capabilities and core competencies to develop and co-optimize offerings solving customers’ complex manufacturing challenges across the deposition, CMP process and post-CMP modules, with solutions including advanced deposition materials, CMP slurries, pads and post-CMP cleaning chemistries (each from our MS segment), and CMP slurry filters, high-purity packaging and fluid monitoring systems (each from our APS segment).

Current wording

Our complementary capabilities enable co-optimized, integrated solutions that improve device performance, lower cost of ownership and accelerate time to market. We address complex manufacturing challenges across deposition, CMP and post-CMP modules with solutions including advanced deposition materials, CMP slurries, pads and post-CMP cleaning chemistries (each from our MS segment), and CMP slurry filters, high-purity packaging and fluid monitoring systems (each from our APS segment). As leading semiconductor manufacturers implement molybdenum into advanced nodes, Entegris is uniquely positioned to support this transition and to solve challenges associated with integrating a new material through our expertise and solutions in precursors, deposition, etch, CMP consumables and contamination control.

Previous wording

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of August 31. If circumstances change during interim periods between annual tests that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value, the Company will test goodwill for impairment. Factors that would necessitate an interim goodwill impairment assessment include a sustained decline in the Company's stock price, effects on a reporting unit such as a change in the composition or carrying amounts of its net assets, prolonged negative industry or economic trends, or significant under-performance relative to expected, historical or projected future operating results. Management uses judgment to determine whether to use a qualitative analysis or a quantitative fair value measurement for its goodwill impairment testing. The Company's fair value measurement approach combines the income and market valuation techniques for each of the Company’s reporting units that carry goodwill. These valuation techniques use estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the determination of appropriate market comparable, projected future cash flows (including timing and profitability), the discount rate reflecting the risk inherent in future cash flows, the perpetual growth rate, and projected future economic and market conditions.

Current wording

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of August 31. If circumstances change during interim periods between annual tests that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value, the Company will test goodwill for impairment. Factors that would necessitate an interim goodwill impairment assessment include a sustained decline in the Company's stock price, effects on a reporting unit such as a change in the composition or carrying amounts of its net assets, prolonged negative industry or economic trends, or significant under-performance relative to expected, historical or projected future operating results. We allocate goodwill to reporting units at the time of acquisition or when there is a change in the reporting structure and base that allocation on which reporting units will benefit from the acquired assets and liabilities. Reporting units are defined as operating segments or one level below an operating segment, referred to as a component. The Company has defined its reporting units as its operating segments, MS and APS as disclosed in Note 20 to our consolidated financial statements.

Previous wording

If a reporting unit fails the quantitative impairment test, impairment expense is immediately recorded as the difference between the reporting unit’s fair value and carrying value not to exceed the amount of goodwill recorded.

Current wording

If a reporting unit fails the quantitative impairment test, impairment expense is immediately recorded as the difference between the reporting unit’s fair value and carrying value not to exceed the amount of goodwill recorded. We recorded no impairment charges related to goodwill during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Adverse changes in the future could reduce the underlying cash flows used to estimate the reporting unit fair values and could result in a further decrease in fair value that could trigger a future impairment charge of the goodwill balance.

Management uses judgment to determine whether to use a qualitative analysis or a quantitative fair value measurement for its goodwill impairment testing. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company determined to utilize a qualitative analysis for the APS reporting unit and a quantitative analysis for the MS reporting unit. The MS reporting unit's fair value was estimated using an equal weighting of the income and market valuation approaches. The Company's fair value measurement approach combines the income and market valuation techniques for each of the Company’s reporting units that carry goodwill. These valuation techniques use estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the determination of appropriate market comparable, projected future revenue growth and gross margins, the discount rate reflecting the risk inherent in future cash flows, the terminal growth rate, and projected future economic and market conditions. Based upon a sensitivity analysis the Company performed, a 50 basis point change in the projected compound annual revenue growth rate, gross margins, discount rate, or terminal growth rate assumption would not result in an impairment in the MS reporting unit.
