ANDOVER, Mass., July 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MKS Instruments, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKSI), a global provider of technologies that enable advanced processes and improve productivity, today reported second quarter 2022 financial results.

“We delivered an excellent quarter of record revenue and strong profitability, exceeding the high-end of our expectations despite continued supply chain and inflationary challenges,” said John T.C. Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Revenue from our Semiconductor Market reached another record, driven by robust demand across our Vacuum Solutions and Photonics Solutions divisions. MKS’ broad portfolio provides the fundamental building blocks for semiconductor manufacturing, and we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on the long-term secular trends in this industry.”

Mr. Lee added, “Revenue from our Advanced Electronics Market was consistent with our expectations, as spending in the Flexible PCB industry remained muted. Revenue from our Specialty Industrial Market remained steady, also consistent with our expectations.

“We continue to work constructively with China’s State Administration for Market Regulation on our pending acquisition of Atotech Limited. We look forward to the closing, which will represent a transformational step in our strategy of becoming a foundational solutions provider in Advanced Electronics, while also strengthening our Specialty Industrial Market with an attractive General Metal Finishing portfolio.”

“We are pleased with our Non-GAAP gross and operating margin performance, which exceeded our expectations,” said Seth H. Bagshaw, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “This is a testament to our culture of operational excellence, our ability to manage costs, and our exciting returns-based organic investment strategy across a number of opportunities.”

Mr. Bagshaw added, “Our balance sheet is in a strong position, and after the close of the pending acquisition of Atotech, we expect the cash generation of the combined company to be robust, underpinning our strategy for long-term value creation.”

Third Quarter 2022 Outlook

Based on current business levels and certain supply chain constraints and excluding any contribution from Atotech Limited (“Atotech”), the Company expects revenue in the third quarter of 2022 of $770 million, plus or minus $30 million. At these volumes, the Company expects Non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share of $2.66, plus or minus $0.25.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results

This press release includes financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“Non-GAAP financial measures”). These Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, MKS’ reported GAAP results, and may be different from Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. MKS management believes the presentation of these Non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors for comparing prior periods and analyzing ongoing business trends and operating results.

MKS is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP gross margin, operating expenses, interest expense, net, tax rate, net earnings and net earnings per diluted share to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because it is unable to estimate with reasonable certainty the ultimate timing or amount of certain significant items without unreasonable efforts. These items include, but are not limited to, acquisition and integration costs, acquisition inventory step-up, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and other expense, asset impairment, debt issuance costs and the income tax effect of these items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, including, but not limited to, our pending acquisition of Atotech and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the relevant period.

For further information regarding these Non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to the tables presenting reconciliations of our Non-GAAP results to our GAAP results and the “Notes on Our Non-GAAP Financial Information” at the end of this press release.
