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
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, CMP slurries, CMP pads, 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 fabrication plant, to application onto the wafer, we provide high-purity packaging and materials handling products. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our business is organized and operated in four operating segments, which align with the key elements of the advanced semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem. The Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials segment, or SCEM, provides advanced materials enabling complex chip designs and improved device electrical performance, including 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 advanced filtration solutions that improve customers' yield, device reliability and cost, by filtering and purifying critical liquid chemistries and gases used in semiconductor manufacturing processes and other high-technology industries.The Advanced Materials Handling segment, or AMH, develops solutions that improve customers' yields by protecting critical materials during manufacturing, transportation, and storage, including products that 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. The Advanced Planarization Solutions segment, or APS, provides complementary chemical mechanical planarization solutions, advanced materials and high-purity wet chemicals; including CMP slurries, pads, formulated cleans and other electronic chemicals that are critical to semiconductor manufacturing processes and that enhance device yields. 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 segments to create new, co-optimized and increasingly integrated solutions for our customers. We believe that our recent acquisition of CMC Materials and the inclusion of CMP slurries, pads and formulated cleans to our product portfolio will further support our strategy of collaboration between segments and the development of new and co-optimized solutions. See Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Company's four segments. The Company's fiscal year is the calendar period ending eachDecember 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 2022 end onApril 2, 2022 ,July 2, 2022 ,October 1, 2022 andDecember 31, 2022 .
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 27
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
gross profits and overall profitability significantly. Also, increases or decreases in sales and operating profitability affect certain costs such as incentive compensation and commissions, which are highly variable in nature. The Company's sales are subject to the effects of industry cyclicality, technological change, substantial competition, pricing pressures and foreign currency fluctuations. •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), foreign currency fluctuations, 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. Infection rates vary across the countries in which we operate, and governmental authorities have continued to implement numerous and constantly evolving measures to try to contain the virus. Continuing impacts of the pandemic include a more challenging supply chain and global logistics environment. While 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, we have not experienced significant adverse impacts to our global operations. See Item 1A, "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2021 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."
Impact of Conflict Between Russia and
The military conflict betweenRussia andUkraine and the sanctions imposed bythe United States and other governments in response to this conflict have caused significant volatility and disruptions to global markets. We source a few raw materials fromRussia andUkraine , and we have been able to obtain an adequate supply of these materials to serve our customers, albeit at increased cost. We are proactively assessing and evaluating alternative sources to bolster our supply of these materials moving forward, in addition to working closely with our customers on any product re-qualification that may be required. Revenue relating to products manufactured from raw materials sourced from this region does not constitute a material portion of our business and historically we have not had significant revenue in this region. The ultimate impact of the conflict on the global economy, supply chains, logistics, fuel prices, raw material pricing and our business remains uncertain. We cannot currently predict the ultimate impact of the conflict on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Refer to Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter endedApril 2, 2022 for more information.
Impact of New Export Control Regulations
OnOctober 7, 2022 , theU.S Department of Commerce ,Bureau of Industry and Security ("BIS") announced new export control regulations that restrict the sale of certain products and services to some companies and domestic fabs inChina . Since these rules were published, we have assembled a global, cross-functional team to interpret the regulations, analyze how they may impact Entegris and determine how to best serve our customers going forward in compliance with these rules. At a high-level, these new rules restrict the sale of products and the provision of service to domestic fabs inChina operating at or above certain advanced technology nodes. We currently estimate that the new regulations will reduce our fourth-quarter nets sales by approximately$40 to 50 million. We intend to apply for export licenses where appropriate.
Recent Events
On the Closing Date, we completed the acquisition of CMC Materials. We acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of CMC Materials for$133.00 in cash and 0.4506 shares of our common stock per share, representing a total purchase price (inclusive of debt retired and cash assumed) at close was$6.0 billion (based on our closing price onJune 30, 2022 ), including$3.8 billion in cash paid to CMC Materials' shareholders, the issuance of 12.9 million shares of our common stock (excluding unvested CMC stock options and unvested CMC restricted stock units, restricted shares and performance share units equity awards assumed),$0.9 billion of debt retired and approximately$0.3 billion of acquired cash. We financed the cash portion of the purchase price through debt financing. See Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the debt financing that occurred prior to and on the Closing Date of the acquisition. 28

During the three months endedOctober 1, 2022 , the Company realigned its financial reporting structure reflecting management and organizational changes. Beginning with this report, the Company will report its financial performance based on four reportable segments: Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials, Microcontamination Control, Advanced Material Handling and Advanced Planarization Solutions. See note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Company's four segments OnJuly 28, 2022 , we entered into an interest rate swap agreement. The interest rate swap is a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap contract to hedge the variability in SOFR-based interest payments associated with$1.95 billion of our$2.495 billion Initial Term Loan Facility. The notional amount is scheduled to decrease quarterly and will expire onDecember 30, 2025 . See Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion. OnAugust 16, 2022 , theU.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA") that includes, among other provisions, changes to theU.S. corporate income tax system, including a 15% minimum tax based on "adjusted financial statement income" exceeding$1 billion and a 1% excise tax on net repurchases of stock afterDecember 31, 2022 , as well as tax credits for clean energy initiatives. We are evaluating the IRA and its requirements, as well as any potential impact on our business.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
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 inthe 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2021 , filed with theSecurities and Exchange Commission onFebruary 4, 2022 . 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 critical accounting policies and estimates.

Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials (SCEM)
For the third quarter of 2022, SCEM net sales increased to$224.2 million , up 45% compared to$154.6 million in the comparable period last year. The sales increase primarily reflects the inclusion of sales of$48.5 million from the inclusion of certain product lines from the acquisition of CMC Materials, while the remainder reflects modestly improved sales of advanced deposition materials, formulated cleans, selective etch and specialty coatings products. SCEM reported a segment profit of$34.2 million in the third quarter of 2022, up 2% from$33.6 million in the year-ago period. The segment profit increase was primarily associated with higher sales levels reflecting the sales of CMC Materials products and increased sales volume, partially offset by a 30% increase in operating expenses, primarily due to the expenses incurred by the inclusion of certain product lines of CMC Materials and a$5.1 million charge for a fair value write-up of acquired CMC Materials inventory sold. For the nine months endedOctober 1, 2022 , SCEM net sales increased to$569.4 million , up 24% compared to$460.7 million in the comparable period last year. The sales increase primarily reflects the inclusion of sales of$48.5 million from inclusion of certain product lines from the acquisition of CMC Materials, while the remainder reflects modestly improved sales of advanced deposition materials, formulated cleans, selective etch and specialty coatings products. SCEM reported a segment profit of$107.5 million in the nine months endedOctober 1, 2022 , up 9% from$98.8 million in the year-ago period. The segment profit increase was primarily associated with higher sales level reflecting the sales of CMC Materials products and increased sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange effects, a 23% increase in operating expenses, primarily due to the expenses incurred by the inclusion of certain product lines of CMC Materials, a$5.1 million charge for a fair value write-up of acquired CMC Materials inventory sold and the absence of a gain on sale of non-core intangibles. 34

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We consider the following when assessing our liquidity and capital resources: In thousands
October 1, 2022 December 31, 2021 Cash and cash equivalents including restricted cash$ 754,667 $ 402,565 Working capital 1,381,255 934,369 Total debt, net of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs 5,847,485 937,027 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. OnApril 14, 2022 , the Company, via a wholly-owned escrow subsidiary, completed a private offering of$1.6 billion aggregate principal amount of 35 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents the 2029 Notes. OnJune 30, 2022 , the Company, via a wholly-owned escrow subsidiary, completed a private offering of$0.9 billion aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes. In connection with the acquisition of CMC Materials on the Closing Date, the Company borrowed$2.495 billion under the Initial Term Loan Facility and increased commitments by$175.0 million under the Revolving Facility (from$400.0 million to$575.0 million ). The Company used a portion of the proceeds of the offering to repay the remaining principal amount of the$145.0 million senior secured term loan facility due 2025. In addition, on the Closing Date, the Company entered into a 364-Day Bridge Credit Agreement and borrowed$275 million aggregate principal amount with a pricing of SOFR plus 4.55%. During the quarter, the Company made a$70.0 million principal payment on the Bridge Credit Facility. Based on our analysis, we believe our existing balances of domestic cash and cash equivalents and our currently anticipated operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our cash needs arising in the ordinary course of business for the next twelve months and for the longer term. We may seek to take advantage of opportunities to raise additional capital through additional debt financing or through public or private sales of securities. If in the future our available liquidity is not sufficient to meet the Company's operating and debt service obligations as they come due, management would need to pursue alternative arrangements through additional equity or debt financing in order to meet the Company's cash requirements. There can be no assurance that any such financing would be available on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. To date, in fiscal 2022, we have not experienced difficulty accessing capital and credit markets, but future volatility in the capital and credit markets may increase costs associated with issuing debt instruments or affect our ability to access those markets. In addition, it is possible that our ability to access the capital and credit markets could be limited at a time when we would like, or need, to do so, which could have an adverse impact on our ability to refinance maturing debt and/or react to changing economic and business conditions.
In summary, our cash flows for each period were as follows:
Nine months ended (in thousands) October 1, 2022 October 2, 2021 Net cash provided by operating activities$ 320,230 $ 284,474 Net cash used in investing activities (4,792,637) (131,820) Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities 4,846,009 (254,513) Increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash 352,102 (105,141) 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$320.2 million in the nine months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to$284.5 million in the nine months endedOctober 2, 2021 . The increase was driven by a$19.0 million increase of Net (loss) income adjusted for non-cash reconciling items and by$16.8 million of changes in operating assets and liabilities. Changes in operating assets and liabilities for the nine months endedOctober 1, 2022 were driven primarily by increases in inventories and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and decreases in trade receivables and income taxes payable and refundable income taxes. The change for inventory was driven by an increase in business activity and need for raw material safety stock. The change for accounts payable and accrued liabilities was driven by an increase in accrued interest payable related to the debt financing in connection with the CMC Materials acquisition. The change for trade receivables was mainly due to a lower increase in sales compared to that of the comparable previous period. The change for income taxes payable and refundable income taxes was primarily driven by a recorded tax impact of Section 174 R&D cost capitalization in 2022 only. Investing activities Cash flows used in investing activities totaled$4,792.6 million in the nine months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to$131.8 million in the nine months endedOctober 2, 2021 . The change resulted primarily from higher cash paid for acquisition of property, plant and equipment and the cash paid for the acquisition of CMC Materials. See Note 3 to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for additional discussion on the acquisition of CMC Materials. Financing activities Cash provided by financing activities totaled$4,846.0 million during the nine months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to cash used in financing activities of$254.5 million during the nine months endedOctober 2, 2021 . The change was primarily due to the net long-term debt activity, which was a source of cash of$4.9 billion in 2022 compared to a use of cash of$174.1 million , and the absence of$50.0 million of repurchase and retirement of common stock. See Note 7 to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the debt financing that occurred during the quarter. In anticipation of its acquisition of CMC Materials, the Company suspended its previously announced share repurchase program in the fourth quarter of 2021 and does not anticipate authorizing a new repurchase program or resuming a repurchase program in 2022. Our total dividend payments were$42.4 million in the nine months endedOctober 1, 2022 , compared to$32.7 million in the nine months endedOctober 2, 2021 . We have paid a cash dividend in each quarter since the fourth quarter of 2017. On October 36 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents 19, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of$0.10 per share to be paid onNovember 23, 2022 to shareholders of record on the close of business onNovember 2, 2022 .

The Company previously syndicated the Initial Term Loan Facility onMarch 2, 2022 and incurred ticking fees through the close of the acquisition. The Company used a portion of the proceeds of the offering to repay the remaining principal amount of the$145.0 million senior secured term loan facility due 2025. For the three and nine months endedOctober 1, 2022 , the Company incurred$0.4 million and$12.0 million in ticking fees, respectively, which were recorded to interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The senior secured term loan facility due 2025 was paid in full on the day of acquisition. On the Closing Date, the Company entered into a$275 million senior unsecured Bridge Credit Facility with a pricing of SOFR plus 4.55%. During the quarter, the Company made a$70.0 million principal payment on the Bridge Credit Facility.

The Company increased the commitments under the Revolving Facility by$175.0 million (from$400.0 million to$575.0 million ) in connection with the closing of the acquisition of CMC Materials on the Closing Date. 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 SOFR, plus, in each case, an applicable margin. AtOctober 1, 2022 , there was no balance outstanding under the Revolving Facility and we had undrawn outstanding letters of credit of$0.2 million . OnJuly 28, 2022 , the Company entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement to hedge the variability in SOFR-based interest payments associated with$1.95 billion of its$2.495 billion Initial Term Loan Facility. The notional amount is scheduled to decrease quarterly and will expire onDecember 30, 2025 .

Cash requirements
We have cash requirements to support working capital needs, capital expenditures, business acquisitions, contractual obligations, commitments, principal and interest payments on debt and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations. We generally intend to use available cash and funds generated from our operations to meet these cash requirements, but in the event that additional liquidity is required we may also borrow under our Revolving Facility. There were no material changes to the cash requirements from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endedDecember 31, 2021 , except for interest payments on long-term debt and new long-term debt in connection with the acquisition of CMC Materials on the Closing Date.

Non-GAAP Information
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. 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 38 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents (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 Net Income 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) Interest expense, net (7) amortization of intangible assets, (8) the tax effect of the foregoing adjustments to net income, stated on a per share basis and (9) tax effect of legal entity restructuring. Non-GAAP EPS is defined as our Non-GAAP Net Income divided by our diluted weighted-average shares outstanding The Company provides supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to help management and investors to better understand our 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 our business. In addition, and as a consequence of the importance of these non-GAAP financial measures in managing our 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 39
