Letter to Stockholders

Dear Entegris Stockholders:I am honored to lead this exceptional company and grateful for the trust the Board and our stockholders have bestowed on me. During my first six months as CEO and nearly two years on the Entegris Board, I have developed a deep appreciation for the Company’s culture, its commitment to innovation and to its customers. I am excited by the significant opportunities ahead.While 2025 presented a year of slower growth for Entegris amid industry headwinds, it was a pivotal year of strategic positioning. We secured key wins at our customers’ most advanced technology nodes, laying the foundation for the growth opportunities we see ahead. Our unit driven revenue increased approximately 2% compared to 2024, in-line with industry wafer starts, driven by strong increases in the critical product areas of CMP consumables, liquid filtration and selective etch. Cash flow was a highlight of our business in 2025. For the full year, we delivered a significant increase in our free cash flow margin, which increased to 12.7% of sales. This enabled incremental repayment of approximately $300 million of debt in 2025, reducing our leverage and strengthening our financial position. We expect to build on this momentum in 2026. We believe the industry backdrop entering 2026 is more constructive. The continued advancement of our customers’ technology roadmaps creates significant opportunities for Entegris. As device architecture becomes more sophisticated and complexity intensifies, our expertise in materials science and purity becomes even more critical for our customers’ performance and yield. Additionally, ongoing node transitions provide more opportunities for Entegris to increase content per wafer and support our ability to sustain market outperformance over the long-term.Entegris is well positioned to capitalize on the next phase of semiconductor growth. We are focused on securing strong positions of record (PORs) at the new technology nodes of advanced logic, 3D NAND and DRAM. Having reached the conclusion of our multiyear manufacturing CAPEX investment cycle that began in 2022, we will utilize the resulting additional manufacturing capacity to support future growth and expect to deliver more than $1 billion in incremental revenue with limited further investment. In addition, we are making progress with the ramp up of our Kaohsiung, Taiwan facility, further strengthening our local-for-local strategy in Asia. Together, these actions are expected to improve our competitiveness, profitability, free cash flow and strengthen our balance sheet, while also positioning Entegris to compound stockholder value over time.My leadership team and I are excited for 2026 and committed to continuing to build on our strong foundation as we advance our strategy and, in doing so, deliver long-term value to customers and stockholders.I appreciate your continued trust, support and investment in Entegris.David ReederPresident, Chief Executive Officer and DirectorMarch 23, 2026
