NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations Entegris, Inc. (“Entegris”, “the Company”, “us”, “we”, or “our”) is a leading supplier of advanced materials and process solutions for the semiconductor and other high-technology industries.
Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, particularly receivables, inventories, property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, goodwill, intangibles, accrued expenses, short-term and long-term lease liability, income taxes and related accounts, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and contain all adjustments considered necessary, and are of a normal recurring nature, to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the results of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, the equity statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022.
The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and notes. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis and consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
In the third quarter of 2023, in order to align its segment financial reporting with a change in its business structure, the Company realigned its segments. Following the segment realignment, the Company’s three reportable segments are as follows (1) Materials Solutions, (2) Microcontamination Control, and (3) Advanced Materials Handling. The current interim and succeeding annual periods will disclose the reportable segments with prior periods recast to reflect the change.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements The Company currently has no material recently adopted accounting pronouncements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Company currently has no material recent accounting pronouncements yet to be adopted.
The following table provides information about current contract liabilities from contracts with customers. The contract liabilities are included in other accrued liabilities balance in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

3. GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT
During the first quarter of 2023, while the criteria had not been met to classify the reporting unit as held for sale, the Company was exploring market interest in a potential sale of the Electronic Chemicals (“EC”) reporting unit within what is now the Materials Solutions segment (the segment resulting from combining the Advanced Planarization Solutions and the Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials segments). In connection with the sale process, management determined that certain impairment indicators were present and evaluated goodwill, intangible assets, and long-lived assets for impairment in connection with the quarter ending April 1, 2023.
Long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets
The Company compared the estimated undiscounted future cash flows generated by the asset group to the carrying amount of the asset group for the reporting unit and determined that the undiscounted cash flows were expected to exceed the carrying value on a held and used basis, therefore no impairment was recorded on the long-lived asset or finite-lived intangible assets. The Company considered if the triggering event would cause a potential change to the useful life of the assets and did not consider a modification to the useful life necessary.
Goodwill
The Company compared the reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying amount, including goodwill, as of April 1, 2023. As the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, exceeded its fair value, the Company determined the goodwill was impaired and recorded an impairment of $88.9 million during the three months ended April 1, 2023 and an incremental impairment loss was recorded with the finalization of certain purchase price adjustments of $15.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The impairment is classified as goodwill impairment in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations. The goodwill impairment is non-taxable. The fair value of the reporting unit was determined using a market-based approach, which was aligned to the expected selling price. We consider this a Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy.
Following the end of our third quarter of fiscal 2023, on October 2, 2023, we completed the sale of the EC reporting unit, which reported into the Materials Solutions segment, see Note 5.
4. ACQUISITION
CMC Materials
On July 6, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed its acquisition of CMC Materials, Inc. (now known as CMC Materials LLC) (“CMC Materials”) for approximately $6.0 billion in cash and stock (the “Acquisition”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 14, 2021 (the “Acquisition Agreement”). As a result of the Acquisition, CMC Materials became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and the results of operations of CMC Materials are included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as of and since July 6, 2022. CMC Materials reports into the Materials Solutions segment (the segment resulting from combining the Advanced Planarization Solutions and the Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials segments) of the Company. Direct costs of $31.9 million and $39.3 million associated with the acquisition of CMC Materials, consisting primarily of professional and consulting fees, were expensed as incurred in the three and nine months ended
October 1, 2022, respectively. These costs are classified as selling, general and administrative expense in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations.
CMC Materials is a global supplier of consumable materials, primarily to semiconductor manufacturers. CMC Materials’ products play a critical role in the production of advanced semiconductor devices, helping to enable the manufacture of smaller, faster and more complex devices by its customers. The acquisition broadened the Company’s solutions set and enables the Company to bring to market a broader array of innovative and high-value solutions, at a faster pace, to help customers improve productivity, performance and total cost of ownership.
The purchase price of CMC Materials consisted of the following:
(In thousands):
Cash paid to CMC Materials’ shareholders

3,836,983

Total purchase price
6,021,251
Less cash and cash equivalents acquired
280,636
Total purchase price, net of cash acquired
$
5,740,615
Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the Company paid $133.00 per share for all outstanding shares of CMC Materials (excluding treasury shares). In addition, the Company settled all outstanding share-based compensation awards held by CMC Materials’ employees at the same per share price except for certain unvested performance units that were replaced by the Company’s restricted share units. The acquisition method of accounting requires the Company to include the amount associated with pre-combination service as purchase price for the acquisition, reflected in the table immediately above.
The Acquisition was funded with existing cash balances as well as funds raised by the Company through the issuance of debt in the form of a new term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $2,495.0 million, senior secured notes due 2029 in an aggregate principal amount of $1,600.0 million, senior unsecured notes due 2030 in an aggregate principal amount of $895.0 million, and a 364-Day Bridge Credit Facility in the aggregate principal amount of $275.0 million.

The final valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Acquisition was completed in the second quarter of 2023.
The fair value of acquired inventories was $256.6 million and was valued at the estimated selling price less the cost of disposal and reasonable profit for the selling effort. The fair value write-up of acquired finished goods inventory was $61.9 million. This amount was recorded as an incremental cost of sales charge, amortized over the expected turn of the acquired inventory, during the year ended December 31, 2022.
The fair value of acquired property, plant and equipment of $537.4 million is valued at its fair value assuming held and used, unless market data was available supporting the fair value.
The Company recognized the following intangible assets as part of the acquisition of CMC Materials and finite-lived assets are amortized on a straight-line basis:

11.0
(1) In-process research and development assets are treated as indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development project, at which time the appropriate useful lives would be determined.
The fair value of acquired identifiable finite intangible assets was determined using an income method, which utilizes discounted cash flows to identify the fair value of each of the identifiable intangible assets. The Company normally utilizes the “income method,” which starts with a forecast of all of the expected future net cash flows attributable to the subject intangible asset. These cash flows are then adjusted to present value by applying an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with the cash flow streams. Depending on the asset valued, the key assumptions included one or more of the following: (1) future revenue growth rates, (2) future gross margin, (3) future selling, general and administrative expenses, (4) royalty rates, and (5) discount rates. The valuations were based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date and the expectations and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by the Company’s management. There are inherent uncertainties and management judgment required in these determinations. The fair value measurements of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on valuations involving significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
The purchase price of CMC Materials exceeded the fair value of the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed by $3,627.4 million. Cash flows used to determine the purchase price included strategic and synergistic benefits (investment value) specific to the Company, which resulted in a purchase price in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets. The purchase price also included the fair values of other assets that were not identifiable, not separately recognizable under accounting rules (e.g., assembled workforce) or of immaterial value in addition to a going-concern element that represents the Company's ability to earn a higher rate of return on the group of assets than would be expected on the separate assets as determined during the valuation process. This additional investment value resulted in goodwill. No amount of goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Pro Forma Results (Unaudited)
The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of the Company as if the acquisition of CMC Materials had occurred January 1, 2021. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations actually would have been had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of each year. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial information does not attempt to project the future results of operations of the combined company. The pro forma information does not include any potential revenue enhancements, cost synergies or other operating efficiencies that could result from the acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma financial information above gives effect to the following:
•The elimination of transactions between Entegris and CMC Materials, which upon completion of the Acquisition would be considered intercompany. This reflects the elimination of intercompany sales and associated intercompany accounts.
•Incremental amortization and depreciation expense related to the estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets and property, plant and equipment from the purchase price allocation.
•Interest expense on the new debt raised to fund in part the consideration paid to effect the Acquisition using the effective interest rates.
•The elimination of interest expense, net of the one-time gain on the termination of two swap instruments which were terminated on June 24, 2022 in connection with the repayment of CMC Materials’ debt upon completion of the Acquisition.
•The elimination of interest expense associated with the repayment of the $145.0 million senior secured term loan facility due 2025.
•The amortization of deferred financing costs and original issue discount associated with the aggregate new debt facilities.
•Transaction and integration costs directly attributable to the Acquisition were reclassed as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period.
•The income tax effect of the transaction accounting adjustments related to the Acquisition calculated using a blended statutory income tax rate of 22.5%.
•The incremental pro forma stock-based compensation expense for accelerated vesting upon the change in control for stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock shares, phantom units, and other deferred restricted stock units.
•The additional cost of goods sold recognized in connection with the write-up of acquired finished goods inventory of $61.9 million. The write-up is recognized in cost of sales as the inventory is sold, which for purposes of these pro forma financial statements is assumed to occur within the first quarter after the Acquisition and is non-recurring in nature.
5. ASSET HELD-FOR-SALE AND DIVESTITURE
Asset Held-For-Sale - PIM
On October 11, 2022, the Company announced entry into a definitive agreement to sell its Pipeline and Industrials Materials (“PIM”) business, which became part of the Company with the acquisition of CMC Materials, to Infineum USA L.P. (“Infineum”). The PIM business specializes in the manufacture and sale of drag reducing agents and a range of valve maintenance products and services, and reports into the Materials Solutions segment (the segment resulting from combining the Advanced Planarization Solutions and the Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials segments) of the Company. Effective February 10, 2023, the Company terminated the definitive agreement.In accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Company received a $12.0 million termination fee from Infineum in the first quarter of 2023 and incurred a transaction adviser fee of $1.1 million.The net amount of $10.9 million is recorded in Other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. At the time of the termination, the transaction had not received clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the “HSR Act”).
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the related assets and liabilities were classified as held-for-sale in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The assets and liabilities continue to be classified as held-for-sale at September 30, 2023.
The planned disposition of the PIM business did not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation in the Company’s financial statements since the disposition did not represent a strategic shift that had, or will have, a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.
PIM Assets-held-for sale comprise the following as of September 30, 2023:

Income before income taxes attributable to the PIM business was $12.0 million and $33.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
Asset held-for-sale - EC Business
On May 10, 2023, the Company announced entry into a definitive agreement to sell its Electronic Chemicals (“EC”) business, which became part of the Company with the acquisition of CMC Materials, to FUJIFILM Holdings America Corporation for approximately $700.0 million, subject to customary adjustments with respect to cash, working capital, indebtedness and transaction expenses. The EC business specializes in purification, formulation, blending, packaging and distribution of high-purity process chemicals used within the semiconductor and microelectronic manufacturing processes. In connection with the held-for-sale classification, upon the remeasurement of the disposal group to its fair value, less cost to sell, we recognized a loss on the assets held-for-sale of $13.6 million as loss on held for sale for the three months ended July 1, 2023 and a loss of $15.9 million on impairment of goodwill for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The loss on assets held-for-sale are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses and the goodwill impairment is included in goodwill impairment in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
The disposition of the EC business did not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation in the Company’s financial statements since the disposition did not represent a strategic shift that had, or will have, a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.
EC Assets-held-for sale comprise the following as of September 30, 2023:
(Income)/Loss before income taxes attributable to the EC business was ($0.9) million and $85.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The loss before income taxes attributed to the EC business for the three months ended September 30, 2023 includes incremental goodwill impairment of $15.9 million. The loss before income taxes attributable to the EC business for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 includes total goodwill impairment charges of $104.8 million and loss on assets held-for-sale of $13.6 million for expected transaction expenses.
On October 2, 2023, following the end of our third quarter of 2023, the Company completed the sale of the EC business. The Company received gross cash proceeds of $737.1 million, or net proceeds of $694.3 million, which includes cash sold of $42.8 million, which remains subject to customary final post-closing adjustments. The Company intends to use the proceeds of this transaction for early repayment of debt.
Divestiture - QED
During the first quarter of 2023, the Company announced entry into a definitive agreement to sell QED Technologies International, Inc. (“QED”), which offers magnetorheological finishing polishing and subaperture stitching interferometry metrology manufacturing solutions to Quad-C Management, Inc. QED was a part of what is now the Materials Solutions segment (the segment resulting from combining the Advanced Planarization Solutions and the Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials segments) and became part of the Company with the acquisition of CMC Materials.
The Company completed the divestiture of QED on March 1, 2023 and received proceeds of $134.3 million after adjustments with respect to cash, working capital, indebtedness and transaction expenses. The disposition of QED did not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation in the Company’s financial statements since the disposition did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. The following table summarizes the fair value of the sale proceeds received in connection with the divestiture, which are subject to further post-closing adjustment:

(1) Subject to Excess Cash Flow payments to the lenders.
On March 10, 2023 and September 11, 2023, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “First Amendment”) and Amendment No. 2 (the “Second Amendment”), respectively, with the lenders party thereto and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent, which amended the Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of November 6, 2018 (as amended and restated as of July 6, 2022 and as further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, modified and otherwise in effect prior to the effectiveness of the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and, the Existing Credit Agreement as amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent and collateral agent.
The First Amendment provides for, among other things, the refinancing of the Company’s outstanding term B loans under the Existing Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $2.495 billion (the “Original Tranche B Term Loans”) with a new tranche of term B loans under the Amended Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $2.495 billion (the “New Tranche B Term Loans”). The New Tranche B Term Loans will bear interest under the Amended Credit Agreement at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) Term SOFR plus an applicable margin of 2.75% or (ii) a base rate plus an applicable margin of 1.75%. Consistent with the Original Tranche B Term Loans, the new Tranche B Term Loans will mature on July 6, 2029. Other than as described herein (and more fully described in the Amendment), the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement are substantially similar to the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement.
The Second Amendment provides for, among other things, the reduction of the applicable rate of the Company’s outstanding term B loans under the Existing Credit Agreement (as amended by the First Amendment). After giving effect to the Second Amendment, such outstanding term B loans will bear interest, at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) Term SOFR plus an applicable margin of 2.50% or (ii) a base rate plus an applicable margin of 1.50%. Other than as described herein (and more fully described in the Second Amendment), the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement are substantially similar to the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement.
Additionally, as of September 30, 2023, during the fiscal year 2023, the Company has repaid $251.5 million of the outstanding borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement. In connection with this repayment and entry into the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, the Company incurred a pre-tax loss on extinguishment and modification of debt of $4.5 million and
$12.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, which is included in Other expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
On April 20, 2023, the Company repaid the principal amount of the $135.0 million bridge credit facility. In connection with the repayment of this debt, the Company incurred a pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, which is included in Other expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is required to record certain assets and liabilities at fair value. The valuation methods used for determining the fair value of these financial instruments by hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1Cash and cash equivalents consist of various bank accounts used to support our operations and investments in institutional money-market funds that are traded in active markets. The restricted cash represents cash held in a “Rabbi” trust, further described in Note 6.
Level 2 Derivative financial instruments include an interest rate swap contract and foreign exchange contracts. The fair value of our derivative instruments is estimated using standard valuation models and market-based observable inputs over the contractual term, including the prevailing SOFR based yield curves for the interest rate swap, and forward rates and/or the Overnight Index Swap curve for forward foreign exchange contracts, among others.
Level 3 No Level 3 financial instruments.
The following table presents financial instruments, other than debt, that we measure at fair value on a recurring basis. See Note 9 of this Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of our debt. In instances where the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset fall into more than one level of the hierarchy, we have classified it based on the lowest level input that is significant to the determination of the fair value.
The Company is exposed to various market risks, including risks associated with interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. One objective of the Company's risk management program is to mitigate these risks using derivative instruments.
Cash Flow Hedges - Interest Rate Swap Contract
In July 2022, the Company entered into a floating-to-fixed swap agreement on its variable rate debt under the Term Loan Facility. The interest rate swap was designated specifically to the Term Loan Facility and qualifies as a cash flow hedge. The notional amount is scheduled to decrease quarterly and will expire on December 30, 2025. As cash flow hedges, unrealized gains are recognized as assets and unrealized losses are recognized as liabilities. Unrealized gains and losses are designated as effective or ineffective based on a comparison of the changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps and changes in fair value of the underlying exposures being hedged. The effective portion is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will be reflected in earnings during the period the hedged transaction effects earnings, while the ineffective portion is recorded as a component of interest expense.
Foreign Currency Contracts Not Designated as Hedges
The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts in an effort to mitigate the risks associated with currency fluctuations on certain foreign currency balance sheet exposures. These foreign exchange contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting. The Company recognizes the change in fair value of its foreign currency forward contracts in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

We expect approximately $31.8 million to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense, net during the next twelve months related to our interest rate swap based on projected rates of the SOFR forward curve as of September 30, 2023.
12. INCOME TAXES
The Company’s tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the Company updates an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment.
The Company recorded income tax (benefit) expense of ($2.1) million and $2.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to income tax (benefit) expense of ($7.0) million and $30.4 million for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate was (6.8%) and 2.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to 8.7% and 16.7% for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022, respectively.
The changes in our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior year are primarily driven by temporary changes in the U.S. tax regulations pertaining to foreign tax credits and changes to the jurisdictional income mix resulting from the Acquisition of CMC Materials in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023.
13. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period.

15. SEGMENT REPORTING
In the third quarter of 2023, in order to align its segment financial reporting with a change in its business structure, the Company realigned its segments. Following the segment realignment, the Company’s three reportable segments are as follows: (1) Materials Solutions, (2) Microcontamination Control, and (3) Advanced Materials Handling. The current interim and succeeding annual periods will disclose the reportable segments with prior periods recast to reflect the change.
The Company’s financial segment reporting reflects an organizational alignment intended to leverage the Company’s unique breadth of capabilities to create mission-critical advanced materials, microcontamination control products, and advanced materials handling solutions that maximize manufacturing yields, reduce manufacturing costs and enable higher device performance for its customers. While these segments have separate products and technical know-how, they share common business systems and processes, technology centers, and strategic and technology roadmaps. The Company leverages its expertise from these three segments to create new and increasingly integrated solutions for its customers. The Company reports its financial performance in the following segments:
•Materials Solutions: MS provides advanced consumable materials, such as chemical mechanical planarization (“CMP”) slurries and pads, deposition materials, process chemistries and gases, formulated cleans, etchants and other specialty materials, that enable our customers’ technical roadmap, improve device performance, lower their total cost of ownership and enhance their yields.
•Microcontamination Control: MC offers solutions to filter and purify critical liquid and gaseous chemistries used in semiconductor manufacturing processes and other high-technology industries.
•Advanced Materials Handling: AMH develops solutions to monitor, protect, transport and deliver critical liquid chemistries, wafers and other substrates for a broad set of applications in the semiconductor industry, life sciences and other high-technology industries.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read along with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The information, except for historical information, contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as well as in our other SEC filings for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 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. We help our customers maximize manufacturing yields, reduce manufacturing costs, and enable higher device performance by leveraging our unique breadth of capabilities to provide mission critical solutions for the most advanced manufacturing environments.
In the third quarter of 2023, in order to align its segment financial reporting with a change in its business structure, the Company realigned its segments into three reportable segments discussed below. The current interim and succeeding annual periods will disclose the reportable segments with prior periods recast to reflect the change. Our business is organized and operated in three operating segments, which align with the key elements of the advanced semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem.
•The Materials Solutions segment, or MS, provides advanced consumable materials, such as chemical mechanical planarization (“CMP”) slurries and pads, deposition materials, process chemistries and gases, formulated cleans, etchants and other specialty materials, that enable our customers’ technical roadmap, improve device performance, lower their total cost of ownership and enhance their yields.
•The Microcontamination Control segment, or MC, offers solutions to filter and purify critical liquid and gaseous chemistries used in semiconductor manufacturing processes and other high-technology industries.
•The Advanced Materials Handling segment, or AMH, develops solutions to monitor, protect, transport and deliver critical liquid chemistries, wafers and other substrates for a broad set of applications in the semiconductor industry, life sciences and other high-technology industries.
These segments share common business systems and processes, technology centers and technology roadmaps. With the complementary capabilities within and across these segments, we believe we are uniquely positioned to create new, co-optimized and increasingly integrated solutions for our customers. For example, we can now offer end-to-end solutions for our customers consisting of advanced deposition materials products, CMP slurries, pads and post-CMP cleaning chemistries from our MS segment, CMP slurry filters from our MC segment, and CMP slurry high-purity packaging and fluid monitoring systems from our AMH segment.
The Company’s fiscal year is the calendar period ending each December 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 2023 end on April 1, 2023, July 1, 2023, September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2023.
Impact of Export Control Regulations
On October 17, 2023, the U.S Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) announced updates to export control regulations, originally issued on October 7, 2022, regarding the sale of certain products and services related to advanced computing items, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and items that can support end uses related to the development and production of advanced-node integrated circuits and semiconductor manufacturing equipment, among others. The updated rules modify and expand restrictions on the sale of products and the provision of certain services by U.S. persons to some companies and domestic fabs located in certain countries, including China, without prior U.S. governmental authorization. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information regarding risk associated with the impact of new export control regulations, including under the caption “Tariffs, export controls and other trade laws and restrictions resulting from international trade disputes, strained international relations and changes to foreign and national security policy, especially as they relate to China, could have an adverse impact on our operations and reduce the competitiveness or availability of our products relative to local and global competitors.”
The military conflict between Israel and militant groups led by Hamas has caused uncertainty in the global markets. Revenue relating to products manufactured from raw materials or components sourced from 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 the conflict will have on the global economy, supply chains, logistics, fuel prices, raw material pricing and 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 in the 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 ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2023. 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, except that the Company has evaluated the recoverability of certain long-lived assets such
that we believe this is a critical accounting policy. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for the specific policy.

2,711,635
Included in the sales increase were the inclusion of sales from the Acquisition of CMC Materials of $537.8 million. This increase was offset by an absence of sales totaling $13.8 million resulting from our divestiture of QED, unfavorable foreign currency translation effects of $30.7 million, mainly due to the significant weakening of the Japanese yen relative to the U.S. dollar and decreased demand from customers in the semiconductor market resulting in a decrease of $117.6 million compared to the nine-month period ended October 1, 2022.
On a geographic basis, sales percentage by customers’ country or region for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022 and the percentage increase (decrease) in sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the sales for the nine months ended October 1, 2022 were as follows:

Gross margin increased by 3.9 percentage points for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in the prior year. Gross margin improved primarily due to the absence of a $61.9 million charge, or 6.2 percentage point change, for a fair value write-up of acquired CMC Materials inventory sold during the three months ended October 1, 2022, partially offset by lower volumes and the temporary impact of the termination of our alliance agreement with MacDermid Enthone.
Gross margin was flat for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in the prior year. Gross margin stayed flat primarily due to the absence of a $61.9 million charge or 2.6 percentage point change for fair value write-up of acquired CMC Materials inventory sold during the nine months ended October 1, 2022, partially offsetting the effect of lower sales volumes and lower factory utilization.
Selling, general and administrative expenses Selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses were $116.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $226.4 million in the year-ago period.

Amortization expenses Amortization of intangible assets was $51.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $65.3 million for the three months ended October 1, 2022. The decrease primarily reflects lower amortization due to the intangibles disposed of as part of the QED disposition and PIM and EC intangibles reclassified as held-for-sale.
Amortization of intangible assets was $163.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $90.5 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2022. The increase primarily reflects the additional amortization associated with the acquisition of CMC Materials.
Goodwill impairment The Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $15.9 million and $104.8 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Gain on termination of alliance agreement On June 5, 2023, the Company announced the termination of an alliance agreement between the Company and MacDermid Enthone. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain, net of $154.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. See Note 5 to our condensed financial statements for further discussion.
Interest expense Interest expense includes interest associated with debt outstanding and the amortization of debt issuance costs associated with such borrowings. Interest expense was $77.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $84.2 million in the three months ended October 1, 2022. The decrease primarily reflects lower interest expense related to lower average debt balances for the period due to repayments on the Company’s outstanding debt.
Interest expense was $244.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $129.0 million in the nine months ended October 1, 2022. The increase primarily reflects higher interest expense related to the debt financing of the CMC Materials acquisition.
Other expense, net Other expense, net was $10.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and consisted mainly of a loss of extinguishment of debt of $4.5 million associated with the Second Amendment to the Company’s Existing Credit Agreement (see Note 9 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements) and foreign currency transaction losses of $4.9 million. Other expense, net was $12.9 million in the three months ended October 1, 2022 and consisted mainly of foreign currency transaction losses of $13.6 million.
Other expense, net was $13.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and consisted mainly of loss of extinguishment and modification of debt of $12.9 million associated with the repayments on the Company’s bridge credit facility and senior secured term loan facility and the amendments of the Company’s Existing Credit Agreement (see Note 9 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements) and foreign currency transaction losses of $11.2 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. Other expense, net was $27.4 million in the nine months ended October 1, 2022 and consisted mainly of foreign currency transaction losses of $28.3 million.
Income tax (benefit) expense Income tax (benefit) expense was ($2.1) million and $2.9 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to income tax (benefit) expense of ($7.0) million and $30.4 million in the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate was (6.8%) and 2.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to 8.7% and 16.7% for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022, respectively.
The changes in our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior year are primarily driven by temporary changes in the U.S. tax regulations pertaining to foreign tax credits and changes to the jurisdictional income mix resulting from the Acquisition of CMC Materials in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023.
Net income Due to the factors noted above, the Company recorded net income of $33.2 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to net loss of ($73.7) million, or ($0.50) per diluted share, in the three months ended October 1, 2022.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded net income of $142.7 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, compared to net income of $151.5 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, in the nine months ended October 1, 2022.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. 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. See the section entitled “Non-GAAP Information” below for additional detail, including the definition of certain non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the Company’s GAAP measures.
The Company’s principal non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income, together with related measures thereof, and non-GAAP earnings per share.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased 21% to $235.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $298.4 million in the three months ended October 1, 2022. In the three months ended September 30, 2023, adjusted EBITDA, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 26% from 30% in the year-ago period.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 3% to $731.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $712.0 million in the nine months ended October 1, 2022. In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, adjusted EBITDA, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 27% from 30% in the year-ago period.
Adjusted operating income decreased 23% to $195.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $253.2 million in the three months ended October 1, 2022. Adjusted operating income, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 22% from 25% in the year-ago period.
Adjusted operating income decreased 3% to $601.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $618.5 million in the nine months ended October 1, 2022. In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, adjusted operating income, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 22% from 26% in the year-ago period.
Non-GAAP earnings per share decreased 20% to $0.68 in the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $0.85 in the three months ended October 1, 2022. Non-GAAP earnings per share decreased 31% to $2.00 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $2.91 in the nine months ended October 1, 2022.
The decreases in adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP earnings per shares for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and adjusted operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the year-ago period is generally attributable to the decreases in sales and gross profit. The increases in adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the year-ago period is generally attributable to the increases in sales and gross profit in connection with the CMC acquisition. The decrease in non-GAAP earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the year-ago period primarily is attributable to higher interest expense associated with debt financing in connection with the CMC acquisition.

Materials Solutions (MS)
For the third quarter of 2023, MS net sales decreased to $435.5 million, down 16% compared to $518.0 million in the comparable period last year. The sales decrease was driven by lower volumes across most product lines and the absence of $13.8 million sales resulting from the divestiture of our QED business that was included in the prior year sales. MS reported a segment profit of $57.0 million in the third quarter of 2023, up 7% from $53.1 million in the year-ago period. The segment profit increase was primarily associated with the absence of a $61.9 million charge for a fair value write-up resulting from the sale of acquired CMC Materials inventory that was recorded in the year-ago period, offset by a $15.9 million loss on goodwill impairment related to the EC reporting unit, lower sales volume and increased operating expenses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, MS net sales increased to $1,324.5 million, up 44% compared to $922.2 million in the comparable period last year. The sales increase primarily reflects the inclusion of sales of $537.8 million from the inclusion of certain product lines from the acquisition of CMC Materials, partially offset by a sales decline seen across most other product lines which was primarily driven by a decline in demand across the semiconductor market. MS reported a segment profit of $243.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, up 65% from $147.7 million in the year-ago period. The segment profit increase was primarily associated with a gain of $154.8 million resulting from the termination of the alliance agreement with MacDermid Enthone (see Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion), the absence of a $61.9 million charge for a fair value write-up resulting from the sale of acquired CMC Materials inventory that was recorded in the year-ago period and segment profit attributed to the CMC Materials acquisition, partially offset by a goodwill impairment charge of $104.8 million related to the EC reporting unit (see Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion), a $13.6 million loss on asset held for sale related to the EC reporting unit and a $14.9 million loss on the sale of QED.
Microcontamination Control (MC)
For the third quarter of 2023, MC net sales increased to $286.2 million, up 2% compared to $280.6 million in the comparable period last year. The sales increase was mainly due to improved sales from liquid filtration products. MC reported a segment profit of $101.1 million in the third quarter of 2023, down 4% from $105.3 million in the year-ago period. The segment profit decrease was primarily due to lower factory utilization and increased costs associated with the ramp up of our new facility in Taiwan.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, MC net sales increased to $839.1 million, up 2% compared to $821.3 million in the comparable period last year. The sales increase was mainly due to improved sales from liquid filtration products. MC reported a segment profit of $297.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, down 2% from $304.1 million in the year-ago period. The segment profit decrease was primarily due to increased costs associated with the ramp up of our new facility in Taiwan and increased investment in research and development.
For the third quarter of 2023, AMH net sales decreased to $180.2 million, down 14% compared to $210.4 million in the comparable period last year. The sales decrease was mainly due to lower sales of our microenvironment solution products related to semiconductor market declines. AMH reported a segment profit of $31.6 million in the third quarter of 2023, down 25% from $42.1 million in the year-ago period. The segment profit decrease was primarily due to lower sales volume and factory utilization.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, AMH net sales decreased to $589.5 million, down 7% compared to $632.6 million in the comparable period last year. The sales decrease was mainly due to lower sales from our microenvironment solution products. AMH reported a segment profit of $115.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, down 15% from $135.7 million in the year-ago period. The segment profit decrease was primarily due to lower sales volume and lower factory utilization.
Unallocated general and administrative expenses
Unallocated general and administrative expenses totaled $21.4 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $120.3 million in the comparable period last year. The $98.9 million decrease is primarily due to a $100.7 million decrease in deal, transaction and integration costs related to the acquisition of CMC Materials.
Unallocated general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $95.0 million, down from $160.8 million in the nine months ended October 1, 2022. The $65.8 million decrease is primarily due to a $81.2 million decrease in deal, transaction and integration costs, partially offset by an increase in employee related costs of $14.7 million.

The Company has historically financed its operations and capital requirements through cash flow from its operating activities, long-term debt, lease financing, revolving credit facility and borrowings under domestic and international short-term lines of credit.
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 2023, 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:

Increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
Operating activities Cash provided by operating activities is net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. Cash provided by operating activities totaled $478.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $320.2 million in the nine months ended October 1, 2022. The increase was driven by a $164.5 million change in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by $5.8 million decrease of net income adjusted for non-cash reconciling items.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were driven by changes in trade accounts and notes receivable, inventories, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, income taxes payable and refundable income taxes. The change for trade receivables was mainly due to lower sales. The change for inventory was driven by a management initiative to reduce inventory. The change for accounts payable and accrued liabilities was driven by a lower change in interest payable and lower vendor purchases. The change for income taxes payable and refundable income taxes was due to larger tax payments paid compared to the previous year.
Investing activities Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $22.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $4,792.6 million in the nine months ended October 1, 2022. The decrease resulted primarily from the acquisition of CMC Materials in the previous year, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of the QED business of $134.3 million and net proceeds from the termination of the alliance agreement with MacDermid Enthone of $169.3 million in the current year.
Financing activities Cash used in financing activities totaled $410.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $4,846.0 million during the nine months ended October 1, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the net debt activity, which was a use of cash of 390.0 million in 2023 compared to a source of cash of $4,901.3 million in 2022. The net debt activity in 2022 primarily related to financing obtained for the CMC Materials acquisition.
Our total dividend payments were $45.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $42.4 million in the nine months ended October 1, 2022. We have paid a cash dividend in each quarter since the fourth quarter of 2017. On October 18, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share to be paid on November 22, 2023 to shareholders of record on the close of business on November 1, 2023.

On March 10, 2023, and September 11, 2023, the Company amended its Existing Credit Agreement. The First Amendment, dated March 10, 2023, provides for, among other things, the refinancing of the Company’s outstanding term B loans under the senior secured term loan facility due 2029 in an aggregate principal amount of $2.495 billion with a new tranche of term B loans in an aggregate principal amount of $2.495 billion. The amended loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin of 2.75% which is a reduction from the applicable margin of 3.00% prior to the amendment. The Second Amendment, dated September 11, 2023, provides for, among other things, the refinancing of the Company’s outstanding term B loans under the senior secured term loan facility due 2029 in an aggregate principal amount of $2.318 billion with a new tranche of term B loans in an aggregate principal amount of $2.318 billion. The outstanding term B loans under the amended senior secured term loan facility due 2029 will bear interest, at a rate per annum equal to the SOFR plus an applicable margin of 2.50% which is a reduction from the applicable margin of 2.75% prior to this amendment. See Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
As of September 30, 2023, during the fiscal year 2023, the Company has repaid $251.5 million of the outstanding borrowings under the New Tranche B Term Loan and $135.0 million in full repayment of all outstanding borrowings under the bridge credit facility.
Through September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under its debt arrangements.
The Company has commitments under the Revolving Facility of $575.0 million. 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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no borrowings under this Revolving Facility and no balance was outstanding at September 30, 2023.
The Company also has a line of credit with one bank that provides for borrowings in Japanese yen for the Company’s Japanese subsidiaries, equivalent to an aggregate of approximately $6.7 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no borrowings under this line of credit and no balance was outstanding at September 30, 2023.

Our cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid debt securities with original maturities of three months or less, which are valued at cost and approximate fair value. We utilize a variety of funding strategies in an effort to ensure that our worldwide cash is available in the locations in which it is needed. We have accrued taxes on any earnings that are not indefinitely reinvested. No additional withholding taxes have been accrued for any indefinitely reinvested earnings.
Our restricted cash represents cash held in a “Rabbi” trust and is not available for general corporate purposes. See Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. The Company had no restricted cash as of September 30, 2023.
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 ended December 31, 2022 that were outside the ordinary course of business except for the principal repayments of $386.5 million made on the senior secured term loan facility and bridge credit facility as discussed above.

Non-GAAP Information The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP.
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 (loss) before, as applicable, (1) income tax (benefit) expense, (2) interest expense, (3) interest income, (4) other expense, net, (5) goodwill impairment, (6) deal and transaction costs, (7) integration costs, (8) contractual costs and non-cash integration costs, (9) restructuring costs, (10) loss on sale of business and held for sales assets, (11) charge for fair value write-up of acquired inventory sold, (12) gain on termination of the Alliance Agreement, (13) amortization of intangible assets and (14) 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 (loss) income before, as applicable, (1) goodwill impairment, (2) deal and transaction costs, (3) integration costs,(4) contractual costs and non-cash integration costs, (5) restructuring costs, (6) loss on extinguishment of debt and modification, (7) loss on sale of business and held for sales assets, (8) charge for fair value write-up of sale of acquired inventory, (9) gain on termination of the Alliance Agreement, (10) Infineum termination fee, net, (11) Interest expense, net, (12) amortization of intangible assets, (13) the tax effect of the foregoing adjustments to net income, stated on a per share basis. 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 goodwill impairment, 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 non-GAAP EPS, and reconciliations between these financial measures and their most directly comparable GAAP equivalents, are presented below in the accompanying tables.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company’s principal financial market risks are sensitivities to interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s interest-bearing cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and senior secured financing obligations are subject to interest rate fluctuations. The Company’s cash equivalents are instruments with maturities of three months or less. A 100-basis point change in interest rates would potentially increase or decrease annual net income by approximately $0.4 thousand and $16.8 million as of September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, respectively. On July 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 $1.65 billion at September 30, 2023 and is scheduled to decrease quarterly and will expire on December 30, 2025.
The cash flows and results of operations of the Company’s foreign-based operations are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. We have sales denominated in the South Korean Won, New Taiwan Dollar, Chinese Renminbi, Malaysian Ringgit, Canadian Dollar, Great British Pound, Euro, Singapore Dollar, Israeli Shekel and the Japanese Yen. Approximately 21.5% and 22.9% of the Company’s sales for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, respectively, are denominated in these currencies. Financial results therefore can be and have been affected by changes in currency exchange rates, as seen in the Company’s results in this quarter. If all foreign currencies had experienced a 10% reduction versus the U.S. dollar during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, revenue for the quarters would have been negatively impacted by approximately $16.8 million and $18.6 million, respectively.
The Company occasionally uses derivative financial instruments to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risks associated with its foreign-based operations. However, we are unlikely to be able to hedge these exposures completely. We do not enter into forward contracts or other derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. At September 30, 2023, the Company had no material net exposure to any foreign currency forward contracts.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on management’s evaluation (with the participation of the Company’s CEO and CFO), as of September 30, 2023, the Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures used by the Company were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the foregoing evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures that occurred during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company completed the integration of the former CMC Materials financial system operations onto the Company’s SAP enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, except for those systems used in businesses held for sale. The Company will continue to monitor and test these systems as part of management’s annual evaluation of internal control over financial reporting.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company is subject to various claims, legal actions, and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes the final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company expenses legal costs as incurred.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the risk factors and other cautionary statements described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those described in the Annual Report.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
The Company did not purchase any of its equity securities during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 under an authorized company stock repurchase plan.
The Company issues common stock awards under its equity incentive plans. In the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company treats shares of common stock withheld for tax purposes on behalf of its employees in connection with the vesting or exercise of the awards as common stock repurchases because they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued upon vesting or exercise. These withheld shares of common stock are not considered common stock repurchases under the Company’s authorized common stock repurchase plan.
Item 5. Other Information
Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan Arrangements
On August 25, 2023, Joseph M. Colella, our Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, entered into a Rule 10b5-1 Plan intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act. Mr. Colella’s plan provides for thesale of up to 5,461 shares of the Company’s common stock. The plan expires on August 23, 2024, or upon the earlier completion of all authorized transactions under the plan.
