Entegris (NASDAQ:ENTG) Releases Quarterly Earnings Results, Beats Estimates By $0.20 EPS

Entegris (NASDAQ:ENTG) issued its quarterly earnings data on Thursday. The semiconductor company reported $1.23 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, beating analysts’ consensus estimates of $1.03 by $0.20, FiscalAI reports. The firm had revenue of $1.01 billion during the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $925.35 million. Entegris had a net margin of 11.14% and a return on equity of 13.86%. The company’s revenue for the quarter was up 24.6% compared to the same quarter last year. During the same quarter in the previous year, the firm posted $0.72 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from Entegris’ conference call:

• Record third-quarter performance: Revenue rose 25% year over year to $1.006 billion, while non-GAAP EPS increased 71% to $1.23. Growth was broad-based across both APS and MS, supported by advanced logic, memory, AI infrastructure and stronger CapEx demand.
• Profitability improved substantially: Adjusted gross margin expanded 530 basis points year over year to 48.9%, and adjusted EBITDA margin reached 30.2%, driven by higher volumes, factory absorption, yield improvements and productivity gains rather than material pricing increases.
• Demand visibility and backlog strengthened: Book-to-bill remained significantly above one, with backlog increasing more than 35% sequentially and more than doubling year over year. New plans of record in EUV filtration, advanced materials and CMP are expected to expand future content opportunities.
• Fourth-quarter outlook remains strong: Management expects revenue of $1.025 billion to $1.055 billion, approximately 26% year-over-year growth at the midpoint, and adjusted EBITDA margin of about 31%. Executives also described industry conditions and 2027 CapEx trends as constructive.
• Seasonality expected in early 2027: First-quarter revenue is projected to decline by a mid-single-digit percentage sequentially because of fewer selling days and typical seasonality, although it is still expected to grow more than 20% year over year. The company also fully repaid its 2029 term loan, reducing net leverage to 2.9 times.
