MKSI - MKS Instruments Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

MKS Instruments Inc.
  • Record quarterly revenue of $954 million
  • Non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share of $2.74 and GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.09
  • Successfully completed acquisition of Atotech Limited, adding critical chemistry solutions for advanced electronics and specialty industrial markets to MKS' portfolio

ANDOVER, Mass., Nov. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MKS Instruments, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKSI), a global provider of technologies that enable advanced processes and improve productivity, today reported third quarter 2022 financial results.

"We delivered a strong third quarter driven by robust demand for our vacuum and photonics solutions," said John T.C. Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer. "While end market demand in our Semiconductor and Advanced Electronics markets is expected to soften in the fourth quarter and into 2023, we believe our market leadership in critical technologies for advanced device manufacturing, our operational track record, and our significant base of consumables and services revenue position MKS to emerge from this changing market landscape even stronger than when we entered into it."

Mr. Lee added, "The third quarter also marked a major advancement in MKS' long-term strategy, as we completed the acquisition of Atotech Limited. Atotech broadens MKS' capabilities by adding leadership in critical chemistry solutions for advanced electronics and specialty industrial applications. We are thrilled to welcome the talented global team of over 4,000 new employees to the MKS family."

"We delivered revenues above the midpoint of our guidance range, and are especially pleased with the 100 basis point sequential improvement in Non-GAAP operating margin," said Seth H. Bagshaw, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "This performance is a testament to our track record of prudent cost management."

Mr. Bagshaw added, "We exited the third quarter with a net leverage ratio of 3.3. We have a well-established history of rapidly paying down debt following each major acquisition, and will be focused on doing so again in the coming quarters."

Fourth Quarter 2022 Outlook

Based on current business levels, regulatory environment, and certain supply chain constraints, the Company expects revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 of $1.00 billion, plus or minus $50 million. At these volumes, the Company expects Non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share of $1.34, plus or minus $0.27.

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 gross margin, operating expenses, interest expense, net, income tax rate, net earnings, net earnings per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA 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, and the income tax effect of these items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, including, but not limited to, our recent 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.

SAFE HARBOR FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regarding the future financial performance, business prospects and growth of MKS Instruments, Inc. ("MKS" or the "Company"). These statements are only predictions based on current assumptions and expectations. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact (including statements containing the words "will," "projects," "intends," "believes," "plans," "anticipates," "expects," "estimates," "forecasts," "continues" and similar expressions) should be considered to be forward-looking statements. Actual events or results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements set forth herein. Among the important factors that could cause actual events to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are the need to generate sufficient cash flows to service and repay the substantial indebtedness MKS has incurred in connection with the acquisition of Atotech, the terms of the existing term loans under which MKS incurred such debt, MKS' entry into the chemicals technology business through its acquisition of Atotech, in which MKS does not have experience and which may expose MKS to significant additional liabilities, the risk of litigation relating to the Atotech acquisition, the risk that disruption from the Atotech acquisition materially and adversely affects MKS' businesses and operations, MKS' ability to realize the anticipated synergies, cost savings and other benefits of the Atotech acquisition, competition from larger, more advanced or more established companies in MKS' markets, MKS' ability to successfully grow its business and the businesses of Atotech, which MKS acquired in August 2022, and Electro Scientific Industries, Inc., which MKS acquired in February 2019, and financial risks associated with those and potential future acquisitions, including goodwill and intangible asset impairments, potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the completion of the Atotech acquisition, manufacturing and sourcing risks, including those associated with limited and sole source suppliers and the impact and duration of supply chain disruptions and component shortages, and changes in global demand and the impact of COVID-19 or any other pandemic with respect to such disruptions, shortages and increases, risks associated with doing business internationally, including trade compliance, regulatory restrictions on MKS' products or components and unfavorable currency exchange and tax rate fluctuations, which risks become more significant as MKS grows its business internationally and in China specifically, conditions affecting the markets in which MKS operates, including fluctuations in capital spending in the semiconductor industry and other advanced manufacturing markets, and fluctuations in sales to MKS' major customers or disruptions or delays from third-party service providers upon which our operations may rely, the ability to anticipate and meet customer demand, the challenges, risks and costs involved with integrating or transitioning local and international operations of the companies MKS has acquired, risks associated with the attraction and retention of key personnel, potential fluctuations in quarterly results, dependence on new product development, rapid technological and market change, acquisition strategy, volatility of stock price, risks associated with chemical manufacturing and environmental regulation compliance, risks related to MKS' products resulting from defects, which would increase MKS' costs and seriously harm the business, financial condition, operating results and customer relationships, financial and legal risk management, risks related to cybersecurity and data privacy threats and the challenges associated with intellectual property protection, and the other factors described in Exhibit 99.1 to MKS' Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 17, 2022, and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

MKS Instruments, Inc.
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 due to rounding.

Note 1: Acquisition and integration costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily related to the Atotech Acquisition. Acquisition and integration costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily related to our acquisition of Photon Control and the Atotech Acquisition. Acquisition and integration costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 also included costs related to a proposed acquisition that was not consummated.

Note 2: Costs of revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 include the amortization from the step-up of inventory to fair value as a result of the Atotech Acquisition.

Note 3: Restructuring and other costs during the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily related to executive payments made related to the Atotech Acquisition. Restructuring and other costs during the three 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. Restructuring and other costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily related to executive payments made related to the Atotech Acquisition and severance costs due to a global cost-saving initiative and the closure of two facilities in Europe. Restructuring and other costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily related to duplicate facility costs attributed to entering into new facility leases, severance costs due to a global cost saving initiative, costs related to the closure of two facilities in Europe and movement of certain products to low-cost regions.

Note 4: We recorded additional interest expense related to the amortization of debt issuance costs associated with our new and prior term loan facilities.

Note 5: We recorded a gain on the sale of a minority interest investment in a private company.

Note 6: We realized a gain in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from a euro currency contract used to hedge our financing in connection with the acquisition of Atotech. The contract expired on January 31, 2022. We recorded a fair-value loss in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 from Canadian dollar contracts used to hedge the funding of our acquisition of Photon Control.

Note 7: We no longer intend to indefinitely reinvest earnings of our foreign subsidiaries after the Atotech Acquisition. Additional income tax expense was recorded to reflect an estimate of withholding taxes that would be due on repatriation of prior period earnings.

Note 8: We recorded windfall tax benefits on the vesting of stock-based compensation.

Note 9: We recorded additional withholding taxes on intercompany undistributed earnings following the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union.

Note 10: Non-GAAP adjustments are tax effected at applicable statutory rates resulting in a difference between the GAAP and Non-GAAP tax rates.
