- Semiconductor market revenue of $440 million, up 42% sequentially and above high end of guidance

ANDOVER, Mass., Aug. 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MKS Instruments, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKSI), a global provider of enabling technologies that transform our world, today reported second quarter 2023 financial results.
“We delivered strong results in the second quarter, led by solid execution and disciplined cost management,” said John T.C. Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Lee added, “Longer term, we are very excited about how we are positioned to capitalize on multiple secular tailwinds that are driving our served markets. AI, cloud, virtual reality, and electrification are among the applications powering the need for innovation in advanced electronics devices, and the critical solutions that we have added with the Atotech acquisition have made MKS foundational to enabling that innovation.”
“We delivered revenue and Non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share above the midpoint of our guidance for the quarter and continue to make great progress on the integration of Atotech,” said Seth H. Bagshaw, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “The non-cash impairment charges we recorded this quarter, primarily resulting from softer demand in the PC and smartphone markets and higher interest rates, do not temper our enthusiasm for what we are building in Electronics & Packaging. We believe we are poised to benefit from an eventual market recovery.”
Mr. Bagshaw added, “Near-term, we continue to expect MKS’ total revenue in the second half of the year to be slightly higher than first half levels, driven by modest improvements across all three of our end markets. We also expect cash flow to normalize in the third quarter and look forward to making steady progress in de-levering the balance sheet.”
Third Quarter 2023 Outlook
The Company expects for the third quarter of 2023, revenue of $930 million, plus or minus $50 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $210 million, plus or minus $26 million, and Non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share of $0.98, plus or minus $0.29.

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 results under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), 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 net earnings per diluted share and Adjusted EBITDA to their 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, amortization of intangible assets, ransomware remediation costs, restructuring and other expense, goodwill and intangible asset impairments or other asset impairments, debt refinancing, prepayments of term loan principal, and the income tax effect of these items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, including, but not limited to, our acquisition of Atotech Limited (“Atotech”) in August 2022 (the “Atotech Acquisition”), timing of ransomware remediation, and interest rate and refinancing environment, 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.

Notes on Our Non-GAAP Financial Information
Non-GAAP financial measures adjust GAAP financial measures for the items listed below. 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. Totals presented may not sum and percentages may not recalculate using figures presented due to rounding.
Note 1: Acquisition and integration costs primarily related to the Atotech Acquisition.
Note 2: Restructuring costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily related to severance costs due to global cost-saving initiatives. Restructuring costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily related to severance costs due to a global cost-saving initiative and the closure of two facilities in Europe.
Note 3: During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we noted softer industry demand, particularly in the personal computer and smartphone markets and concluded there was a triggering event at our Materials Solutions Division, which represents the former Atotech business, and Equipment Solutions Business, which represents the former Electro Scientific Industries business and is a reporting unit of our Photonics Solutions Division. We performed a quantitative assessment which resulted in an impairment of $1.3 billion for our Materials Solutions Division and $0.5 billion for our Equipment Solutions Business.
Note 4: We recorded additional interest expense related to the amortization of debt issuance costs associated with our term loan facility.
Note 5: We recorded costs, net of recoveries, associated with the ransomware incident we identified on February 3, 2023. These costs were primarily comprised of various third-party consulting services, including forensic experts, restoration experts, legal counsel, and other information technology and accounting professional expenses, enhancements to our cybersecurity measures, and costs to restore our systems and access our data.
Note 6: We recorded a gain on the sale of a minority interest investment in a private company.
Note 7: We realized a gain from a euro currency contract used to hedge our financing in connection with the Atotech Acquisition. The contract expired on January 31, 2022.
Note 8: We recorded windfall tax expenses (benefits) on the vesting of stock-based compensation.
Note 9: We recorded a reduction in benefit for income taxes for a retrospective approval of an income tax rate reduction from a foreign jurisdiction.
Note 10: Non-GAAP adjustments are tax effected at applicable statutory rates resulting in a difference between the GAAP and Non-GAAP tax rates.
