1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the results of operations and comprehensive income for the three months ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, the equity statements as of and for the three months ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, and cash flows for the three months ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022.
Our recently acquired subsidiary, CMC Materials LLC (formerly known as CMC Materials, Inc.) (“CMC Materials”), follows a monthly reporting calendar. The first quarter of 2023 for CMC Materials refers to the three months ended March 31, 2023, whereas the Company’s first quarter is April 1, 2023. The Company believes that use of the different fiscal periods for this entity has not had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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 months ended April 1, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

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 the Advanced Planarization Solutions segment. 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 are 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
4. ACQUISITION
CMC Materials
On July 6, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed its acquisition of CMC Materials for approximately $6.0 billion in cash and stock (the “Acquisition”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Acquisition 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 Advanced Planarization Solutions and Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials segments of the Company. Direct costs of $39.3 million associated with the acquisition of CMC Materials, consisting primarily of professional and consulting fees, were expensed as incurred in fiscal year 2022. 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. The Company's 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 | $ | ||||
| Stock paid to CMC Materials’ shareholders | |||||
| Repayment of CMC Materials’ indebtedness | |||||
| Total purchase price | |||||
| Less cash and cash equivalents acquired | |||||
| Total purchase price, net of cash acquired | $ | ||||
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 (collectively “CMC Materials Acquisition Financing”).
The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the Acquisition:
| (In thousands): | July 6, 2022 | |||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | |||||||
| Accounts receivable and other current assets | ||||||||

| Current liabilities | ( | |||||||
| Deferred tax liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities | ( | |||||||
| Net assets acquired | ||||||||
| Goodwill | ||||||||
| Total purchase price | $ | |||||||
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.

(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 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 $3,622.4 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.
The final valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is expected to be completed as soon as possible, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. Given the size and complexity of the acquisition, the valuation of certain assets and liabilities is still being finalized. In addition to identifiable intangible assets, for the reasons noted above, the Company's valuation of the CMC Materials’ tax accounts is provisional pending the completion of and the Company's review of CMC Materials’ tax returns to be filed for periods up to the acquisition date. To the extent that the Company's estimates require adjustment, the Company will modify the value.

•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 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.

5. ASSET HELD-FOR-SALE AND DIVESTITURE
Asset Held-For-Sale
On October 11, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Infineum USA L.P. (“Infineum”) for the sale of its Pipeline and Industrials Materials (“PIM”) business, which became part of the Company with the acquisition of CMC Materials. The PIM business reports into the Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials segment 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 (income) 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 April 1, 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.

Divestiture
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. QED was a part of Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials segment and became part of the Company with the acquisition of CMC Materials.
The Company completed the divestiture of the QED on March 1, 2023 and received proceeds of $134.8 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:

| Preliminary working capital adjustment | ||||||||
| Cash transferred to the buyer on the closing balance sheet | ( | |||||||
| Direct costs to sell | ( | |||||||
| Fair value of sale consideration | $ | |||||||
The net sales proceeds received from the QED business divestiture presented under cash flows from investing activities represent the cash portion of the sale consideration, which was determined as the fair value of sale consideration reduced by the amount held in escrow. We expect that the amount held in escrow should be paid out within the next six months. The following table summarizes the different components of net proceeds received from the QED business divestiture presented under Cash flows from investing activities:

(1) Subject to Excess Cash Flow payments to the lenders.
On March 10, 2023, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) 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 Amendment, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and, the Existing Credit Agreement as amended by the 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 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.
10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
18
Level 1 Cash 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.

11. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
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
19
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.
The notional amounts of our derivative instruments are as follows:

We expect approximately $28.2 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 April 1, 2023.
12. (LOSS) EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic (loss) 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. The following table presents a reconciliation of the share amounts used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share:

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 enhanced materials and process solutions for the most advanced manufacturing environments.
Our business is organized and operated in four operating segments, which align with the key elements of the advanced
semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem.
•The Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials segment, or SCEM, provides high-performance and high-purity process chemistries, gases and materials, and safe and efficient materials delivery systems to support semiconductor and other advanced manufacturing processes.
•The Advanced Planarization Solutions segment, or APS, provides complementary chemical mechanical planarization solutions, advanced materials and high-purity wet chemicals including CMP slurries, pads, formulated cleans and other electronic chemicals.
•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 across these segments, we believe we are uniquely positioned to create new, co-optimized and increasingly integrated solutions for our customers. For example, after the acquisition of CMC Materials, we now offer an end- to-end offering for our customers consisting of advanced deposition materials from our SCEM segment, CMP slurries, pads and post-CMP cleaning chemistries from our APS 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 7, 2022, the U.S Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) announced export control regulations that restrict the sale of certain products and services to some companies and domestic fabs in China. These new rules restrict the sale of products and the provision of service to domestic fabs in China operating at or above certain advanced technology nodes. 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.”

Recent Events
On February 10, 2023, the Company terminated the definitive agreement with Infineum to sell its PIM business. At the time of the termination, the transaction had not received clearance under the HSR Act. In accordance with the terms of the definitive agreement, the Company received a $12.0 million termination fee from Infineum in the first quarter of 2023. Also in the first quarter of 2023, the Company incurred a fee of $1.1 million to the third-party financial adviser it had engaged to assist with the transaction.
On March 1, 2023, the Company completed its divestiture of the QED business. The QED business was part of the SCEM segment. The QED business became part of the Company with the acquisition of CMC Materials. The Company received proceeds of $134.8 million subject to certain post-closing adjustments. See Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
On March 10, 2023, the Company amended its Amended Credit Agreement. The 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. See Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
On May 10, 2023, the Company announced the execution of a definitive agreement to sell its Electronic Chemicals (“EC”) business, which became part of the Company with the recent acquisition of CMC Materials, to FUJIFILM Holdings America Corporation for $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 chemicals used within the semiconductor and microelectronic manufacturing processes. The divestiture is currently expected to close before the end of 2023, subject to receipt of required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The Company does not expect a material gain or loss from the sale of the EC 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.

| Decrease associated with effect of foreign currency translation | (18,062) | ||||
Net sales in the quarter ended April 1, 2023 | $ | 922,396 | |||
Total net sales increased primarily driven by the inclusion of sales from the acquisition of CMC Materials for the three-months ended April 1, 2023 subsequent to the Closing Date. Growth was also driven in part by our strong position at the leading-edge technology nodes, led by solutions like our liquid filtration products that are of growing importance to our customers’ technology roadmaps. Total net sales also reflected unfavorable foreign currency translation effects of $18.1 million, mainly due to the significant weakening of the Japanese yen relative to the U.S. dollar.
On a geographic basis, sales percentage by customers’ country or region for the three months ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022 and the percentage increase in sales for the three months ended April 1, 2023 compared to the sales for the three months ended April 2, 2022 were as follows:

Gross margin decreased by 4.2 percentage points for the three months ended April 1, 2023, compared to the same period in the prior year. Gross margin declined primarily due to the inclusion of CMC Materials products, which have aggregate lower gross margins. In addition, the Company had restructuring costs of $7.4 million in the quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses Selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses were $169.9 million in the three months ended April 1, 2023, compared to $87.1 million in the year-ago period.

Amortization expenses Amortization of intangible assets was $57.6 million in the three months ended April 1, 2023, compared to $12.7 million for the three months ended April 2, 2022. The increase primarily reflects additional amortization expense associated with the recent acquisition of CMC Materials.
Goodwill impairment The Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $88.9 million in the three months ended April 2, 2022. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated 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 $86.1 million in the three months ended April 1, 2023, compared to $12.9 million in the three months ended April 2, 2022. The increase primarily reflects higher interest expense related to the debt financing of the CMC Materials acquisition.
Other (income) expense, net Other income, net was $4.7 million in the three months ended April 1, 2023 and consisted mainly of net proceeds received of $10.9 million resulting from the termination of the definitive agreement with Infineum, partially offset by a loss of extinguishment and modification of debt of $3.9 million associated with the amendment of the Company’s
28
Amended Credit Agreement (see Note 9 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements) and foreign currency transaction losses of $2.4 million. Other expense, net was $4.9 million in the three months ended April 2, 2022 and consisted mainly of foreign currency transaction losses of $4.6 million.
Income tax expense Income tax expense of $21.5 million in the three months ended April 1, 2023, compared to income tax expense of $19.9 million in the three months ended April 2, 2022, respectively. The Company’s year-to-date effective income tax rate at April 1, 2023 was (32.2)%, compared to 13.7% at April 2, 2022.
The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended April 1, 2023, compared to the prior year primarily relates to non-deductible goodwill impairment charge and tax expense of $17.0 million on the sale of the QED business unit recorded during the quarter ended April 1, 2023. The year-to-date income tax expense in 2023 and 2022 includes discrete expense of $0.1 million and a discrete benefit of $4.3 million, respectively, recorded in connection with share-based compensation.
Net (loss) income Due to the factors noted above, the Company recorded net loss of $88.2 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, in the three months ended April 1, 2023, compared to net income of $125.7 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, in the three months ended April 2, 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 increased 22% to $251.5 million in the three months ended April 1, 2023, compared to $206.2 million in the three months ended April 2, 2022. In the three months ended April 1, 2023, adjusted EBITDA, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 27.3% from 31.7% in the year-ago period.
Adjusted operating income increased 12% to $204.8 million in the three months ended April 1, 2023, compared to $182.3 million in the three months ended April 2, 2022. Adjusted operating income, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 22.2% from 28.1% in the year-ago period.
Non-GAAP earnings per share decreased 39% to $0.65 in the three months ended April 1, 2023, compared to $1.06 in the three months ended April 2, 2022.
The increases in adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income for the three months ended April 1, 2023 compared to the year-ago period is generally attributable to the increases in sales and gross profit. The decrease in non-GAAP earnings per share for the three months ended April 1, 2023 compared to the year-ago period is attributable to higher interest expense associated with debt financing in connection with the CMC acquisition.
Segment Analysis
The Company reports its financial performance based on four reportable segments: Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials, Advanced Planarization Solutions, Microcontamination Control and Advanced Material Handling. See Note 14 to
29
the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Company’s four segments. The following is a discussion of the results of operations of these four business segments.
The following table presents selected net sales and segment profit (loss) data for the Company’s four reportable segments, along with unallocated general and administrative expenses, for the three months ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022.

Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials (SCEM)
For the first quarter of 2023, SCEM net sales increased to $198.0 million, up 19% compared to $165.8 million in the comparable period last year. The sales increase primarily reflects the inclusion of sales of $49.7 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 the softening in the semiconductor market. SCEM reported a segment profit of $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2023, down 91% from $37.7 million in the year-ago period. The segment profit decrease was primarily associated with a 71% increase in operating expenses, which was primarily due to a $13.6 million loss on sale of QED business,$6.5 million related to restructuring charges and higher compensation costs.
Advanced Planarization Solutions (APS)
For the first quarter of 2023, APS net sales increased to $250.3 million, compared to $30.6 million in the comparable period last year. The sales increase was mainly due to sales attributed to the CMC Materials acquisition. APS reported a segment loss of $32.8 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to segment profit of $11.2 million in the year-ago period. The segment loss in the current year was due to the goodwill impairment charge of $88.9 million related to the EC reporting unit, see Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion, partially offset by the segment profit attributed to the CMC Materials acquisition.
Microcontamination Control (MC)
For the first quarter of 2023, MC net sales increased to $269.3 million, up 1% compared to $266.6 million in the comparable period last year. The sales increase was mainly due to improved sales from liquid microcontamination products, partially offset by gas microcontamination products. MC reported a segment profit of $96.0 million in the first quarter of 2023, down 3% from $98.6 million in the year-ago period. The segment profit decline was primarily due to a 21% increase in operating expenses primarily due to higher compensation costs.
Advanced Materials Handling (AMH)
For the first quarter of 2023, AMH net sales increased to $218.9 million, up 10% compared to $198.1 million in the comparable period last year. The sales increase was mainly due to improved sales from wafer handling and fluid handling. AMH reported a segment profit of $48.2 million in the first quarter of 2023, up 3% from $46.7 million in the year-ago period. The segment
30
profit increase was primarily due to higher sales volume, partially offset by an 18% increase in operating expenses, primarily due to higher compensation costs.
Unallocated general and administrative expenses
Unallocated general and administrative expenses totaled $43.6 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $18.2 million in the comparable period last year. The $25.4 million increase is primarily due to a $15.7 million increase in integration related costs related to the acquisition of CMC Materials and a $14.0 million increase in employee related costs, driven by higher higher stock based compensation costs, partially offset by the absence of $2.0 million of deal costs in the prior comparable period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We consider the following when assessing our liquidity and capital resources:
| In thousands | April 1, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | |||||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents including restricted cash | $ | 709,032 | $ | 563,439 | |||||||
| Working capital | 1,675,424 | 1,573,254 | |||||||||
| Total debt, net of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs | 5,793,755 | 5,784,893 | |||||||||
The Company has historically financed its operations and capital requirements through cash flow from its operating activities, long-term loans, 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:
| Three months ended | |||||||||||
| (in thousands) | April 1, 2023 | April 2, 2022 | |||||||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 151,871 | $ | 63,788 | |||||||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (357) | (83,282) | |||||||||
| Net cash used in financing activities | (6,482) | (27,595) | |||||||||
| Increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | 145,593 | (49,833) | |||||||||
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 $151.9 million in the three months ended April 1, 2023, compared to $63.8 million in the three months ended April 2, 2022. The increase was driven by a $114.8 million of changes in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by $26.7 million decrease of net (loss) income adjusted for non-cash reconciling items.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities for the three months ended April 1, 2023 were driven by changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, trade accounts and notes receivable and inventories. The change for trade receivables was mainly due to timing of customer collections. The change for accounts payable and accrued liabilities was driven by an increase in accrued interest payable related to the debt financing in connection with the CMC Materials acquisition and advanced payments from customers.
Investing activities Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $0.4 million in the three months ended April 1, 2023, compared to $83.3 million in the three months ended April 2, 2022. The change resulted primarily from proceeds from the sale of the QED business, partially offset by higher cash paid for acquisition of property, plant and equipment.
31
Financing activities Cash used in financing activities totaled $6.5 million during the three months ended April 1, 2023, compared to cash used in financing activities of $27.6 million during the three months ended April 2, 2022. The change was primarily due to higher proceeds received from stock option exercises.
Our total dividend payments were $15.2 million in the three months ended April 1, 2023, compared to $13.9 million in the three months ended April 2, 2022. We have paid a cash dividend in each quarter since the fourth quarter of 2017. On April 19, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share to be paid on May 24, 2023 to shareholders of record on the close of business on May 3, 2023.

On March 10, 2023, the Company amended its Amended Credit Agreement. The 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. See Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Through April 1, 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 months ended April 1, 2023, there were no borrowings under this Revolving Facility and no balance was outstanding at April 1, 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 $7.5 million. During the three months ended April 1, 2023, there were no borrowings under this line of credit and no balance was outstanding at April 1, 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.

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.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements Refer to Note 1 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recently issued but not yet adopted accounting pronouncements.
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 (loss) income before, as applicable, (1) income tax expense, (2) interest expense, (3) interest income, (4) other (income) expense, net, (5) goodwill impairment, (6) deal and transaction costs, (7) integration costs, (8) restructuring costs, (9) loss on sale of business (10) amortization of intangible assets and (11) 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) restructuring costs, (5) loss on extinguishment of debt and modification, (6) loss on sale of business, (7) Infineum termination fee, net, (8) Interest expense, net, (9) amortization of intangible assets, (10) the tax effect of the foregoing adjustments to net (loss) income, stated on a per share basis and (11) tax effect of legal entity restructuring. 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.
33
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 $0.2 million and $1.6 million as of April 1, 2023 and April 2, 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 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 23.4% and 23.8% of the Company’s sales for the quarters ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 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 April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022, revenue for the quarters would have been negatively impacted by approximately $25.7 million and $14.1 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 April 1, 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 April 1, 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 April 1, 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.
As discussed in Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company completed its acquisition of CMC Materials on July 6, 2022. As permitted by interpretive guidance for newly acquired businesses issued by the SEC Staff, management has excluded the internal control over financial reporting of CMC Materials from the evaluation of the Company’s effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of April 1, 2023. Since the date of the acquisition, CMC Materials’ financial results are included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. As part of our post-closing integration activities, we are engaged in the process of assessing the internal controls. The Company has begun to integrate policies, processes, people, technology and operations for the post-acquisition combined company, and it will continue to evaluate the impact of any related changes to internal control over financial reporting.
37
Other than the items discussed above, there has been no change 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.
38
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
As of April 1, 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 and Use of Proceeds.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
The Company did not purchase any of its equity securities during the quarter ended April 1, 2023.
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.

(a)Governing Law. This Agreement and the Release of Claims shall be construed under and governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to any conflicts of laws principles thereof that would cause the laws of any other jurisdiction to apply.

For purposes of the limitations on nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, each payment of compensation under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment of compensation. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Executive’s separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Executive’s termination date (or death, if earlier).
