ENTEGRIS REPORTS ANOTHER QUARTER OF RECORD SALES AND EARNINGS
Outlook for Fiscal 2001 Remains Positive
CHASKA, Minn., Dec.20, 2000--Entegris, Inc. (Nasdaq: ENTG), the materials
integrity management company, today reported record, all-time high quarterly
revenues of $102.6 million for its first quarter ended November 25, 2000.
Revenues jumped 43 percent from first quarter fiscal 2000 revenue levels of
$71.8 million. Record net income increased to $18.1 million for the quarter or
25 cents per diluted share, compared with $8.6 million or 13 cents per diluted
share for the first quarter of fiscal 2000, on a pro forma basis, excluding a
one-time gain.
"This was an exceptional quarter for Entegris, as we continued to meet the
semiconductor industry's need for the protection and transportation of its
critical materials," said Stan Geyer, chief executive officer. "This is the
second time we are reporting financial results as a public company and for the
second time we are reporting the highest sales, operating income and net income
in our 34-year history. This success would not have been possible without our
extraordinary employees and their efforts."
"Our unit volumes reached new highs this past quarter and we have continued to
experience strong sales and order levels over the last weeks," said Jim
Dauwalter, president and chief operating officer. "Industry analysts have become
more cautious in their outlook for semiconductor industry growth for calendar
year 2001. However, as the world's leading materials integrity management
provider, we anticipate second quarter revenue performance similar to the first
quarter and a healthy sales increase of about 15 percent on a fiscal year basis,
which would provide a very strong comparison to our record fiscal year 2000
results," said Dauwalter. "Since Entegris protects and transports the industry's
valuable inventory, most of our business is driven by silicon consumption,
chemical usage, and IC unit production which historically continues to be strong
even when capital equipment spending levels off. This, coupled with our strong
300mm product offering and the expectation that our customers' 300mm plans will

accelerate, renders this positive outlook for Entegris. We have historically
outperformed semiconductor equipment providers during slowdown phases in the
industry," concluded Dauwalter.
Gross margins, improved 7.1 percentage points to 51.2 percent in the first
quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to first quarter 2000 results of 44.1 percent.
Capacity absorption, driven by record sales levels, provided the majority of the
gross margin improvement.
"Gross margins improved again to levels never achieved in our history, largely
through the work we have accomplished over the last year, including the
completion of the merger of Fluoroware and EMPAK into Entegris," said Jim
Dauwalter. "Our ability to respond to customers has improved and allowed us to
leverage our combined technical advantages as well as our human resources.
Therefore, we continue to expect year-over-year improvement in gross profit and
operating margins for our fiscal year 2001," concluded Dauwalter.
The company also announced that it changed its accounting for reporting
inventory from the LIFO to the FIFO method. "Our decision reflects our
assessment that FIFO accounting better reflects our cost of sales in light of
our significant improvements in capacity utilization," said John Villas, chief
financial officer.
