(Unaudited)
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 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the results of operations and comprehensive income for the three months ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020, the equity statements as of and for the three months ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020, and cash flows for the three months ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020.

The information included in this 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 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The results of operations for the three months ended April 3, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2. REVENUES
Revenue Recognition Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.
Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of sales.
The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.
When the Company receives consideration, or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract, the Company records deferred revenue, which represents a contract liability. Such deferred revenue typically results from advance payments received on sales of the Company’s products. The Company makes the required disclosures with respect to deferred revenue below.
The Company does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.
Nature of goods and services The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenues. The Company has three reportable segments. For more detailed information about reportable segments, see note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. For each of the three reportable segments, the recognition of revenue regarding the nature of goods and services provided by the segments are similar and described below. The Company recognizes revenue for product sales at a point in time following the transfer of control of such products to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment or delivery, depending on the terms of the underlying contracts. For product sales contracts that contain multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract based on relative standalone selling prices, or estimates of such prices, and recognizes the related revenue as control of each individual product is transferred to the customer, in satisfaction of the corresponding performance obligations.
The Company generally recognizes revenue for sales of services when the Company has satisfied the performance obligation. The payment terms and revenue recognized is based on time and materials.
The Company also enters into arrangements to license its intellectual property. These arrangements typically permit the customer to use a specialized manufacturing process or patented technology and in return the Company receives a royalty fee. The Company recognizes revenue for a sales-based or usage-based royalty promised in exchange for a license of intellectual property when the subsequent sale or usage occurs.
The Company offers certain customers cash discounts and volume rebates as sales incentives. The discounts and volume rebates are recorded as a reduction in sales at the time revenue is recognized in an amount estimated based on historical experience and contractual obligations. The Company periodically reviews the assumptions underlying its estimates of discounts and volume rebates and adjusts its revenues accordingly.
In addition, the Company offers free product rebates to certain customers. The Company utilizes an adjusted market approach to estimate the stand-alone selling price of the loyalty program and allocates a portion of the consideration received to the free product offering. The free product offering is redeemable upon future purchases of the Company’s products. The amount associated with free product rebates is recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet and is recognized as revenue when the free product is redeemed or when the likelihood of redemption is remote. The Company has deemed that the amount is immaterial for disclosure.
The Company provides for the estimated costs of fulfilling its obligations under product warranties at the time the related revenue is recognized. The Company estimates the costs based on historical failure rates, projected repair costs, and knowledge of specific product failures (if any). The specific warranty terms and conditions vary depending upon the product sold and the country in which we do business, but generally include parts and labor over a period generally ranging from 90 days to one year. The Company regularly reevaluates its estimates to assess the adequacy of the recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.
The Company’s contracts are generally short-term in nature. Most contracts’ terms do not exceed twelve months. Payment terms vary by the type and location of the Company’s customers and the products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. For certain products or services and customer types, the Company requires payment before the products or services are delivered to the customer. Those customers that prepay are represented by the contract liabilities below until the performance obligations are satisfied.

3. ACQUISITIONS
Global Measurement Technologies, Inc.
On July 10, 2020 , the Company acquired Global Measurement Technologies, Inc. (“GMTI”), an analytical instrument provider for critical processes in semiconductor production, and its manufacturing partner Clean Room Plastics, Inc. GMTI reports into the Advanced Materials Handling segment of the Company. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and GMTI’s results of operations are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and since July 10, 2020. The acquisition does not constitute a material business combination.
The purchase price for GMTI includes cash consideration of $36.3 million, net of cash acquired, which was funded from the Company’s existing cash on hand.
The purchase price of GMTI exceeds the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed by $16.1 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. This additional investment value resulted in goodwill, which is expected to be non-deductible for income tax purposes.
During the quarter ended September 26, 2020, the Company finalized its fair value determination of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The following table summarizes the final allocation of the purchase price to the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition:

Sinmat
On January 10, 2020 , the Company acquired Sinmat, a chemical mechanical polishing slurry manufacturer. Sinmat reports into the Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials segment of the Company. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and Sinmat’s results of operations are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and since January 10, 2020. Costs associated with the acquisition of Sinmat were $0.7 million for the year ended March 28, 2020 and were expensed as incurred. These costs are included in the selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. The acquisition does not constitute a material business combination.
The purchase price for Sinmat includes cash consideration of $76.2 million, or $75.6 million net of cash acquired, which was funded from the Company’s existing cash on hand.
The purchase price of Sinmat exceeds the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed by $31.7 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. This additional investment value resulted in goodwill, which is expected to be non-deductible for income tax purposes.
During the quarter ended June 27, 2020, the Company finalized its fair value determination of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The following table summarizes the provisional and final allocations of the purchase price to the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition date and as adjusted as of June 27, 2020, respectively:

6. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the 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 period. The following table presents a reconciliation of the share amounts used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share:
| Three months ended | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| (In thousands) | April 3, 2021 | March 28, 2020 | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Basic—weighted common shares outstanding | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| Diluted—weighted common shares and common shares equivalent outstanding | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company excluded the following shares underlying stock-based awards from the calculations of diluted EPS because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive for the three months ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020:

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, 2020 as well as in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K 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. 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
This overview is not a complete discussion of the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations; it is intended merely to facilitate an understanding of the most salient aspects of the Company’s financial condition and operating performance and to provide a context for the detailed discussion and analysis that follows. The discussion and analysis must be read in its entirety in order to fully understand the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
The Company is a leading supplier of advanced materials and process solutions for the semiconductor and other high-technology industries. Our mission is to help our customers improve their productivity, performance and technology by providing solutions for the most advanced manufacturing environments. We leverage our unique breadth of capabilities to create mission-critical microcontamination control products, specialty chemicals and advanced materials handling solutions that maximize manufacturing yields, reduce manufacturing costs and enable higher device performance for our customers.
Our customized materials solutions enable the highest levels of performance essential to the manufacture of semiconductors. As our customers introduce more complex architectures and search for new materials with better electrical and structural properties to improve the performance of their devices, they rely on Entegris as a trusted partner to address these challenges. We understand these challenges and have solutions to address them, such as our advanced deposition materials, implant gases, formulated cleaning chemistries and selective etch chemistries. Our customers also require greater end-to-end materials purity and integrity in their manufacturing processes that, when combined with smaller dimensions and more complex architectures, can be challenging to achieve. To enable the use of new metals and the further miniaturization of chips, and to maximize yield and increase long-term device reliability, we provide products such as our advanced liquid and gas filtration and purification products that help to selectively remove new classes of contaminants throughout the semiconductor supply chain. In addition, to ensure purity levels are maintained across the entire supply chain, from bulk manufacturing, to transportation to and delivery through a fab, to application onto the wafer, we provide high-purity packaging and materials handling products.
Our business is organized and operated in three operating segments, which align with the key elements of the advanced semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem. The Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials, or SCEM, segment provides high-performance and high-purity process chemistries, gases, and materials, and safe and efficient delivery systems, to support semiconductor and other advanced manufacturing processes. The Microcontamination Control, or MC, segment offers solutions to filter and purify critical liquid chemistries and gases used in semiconductor manufacturing processes and other high-technology industries. The Advanced Materials Handling, or AMH, segment 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. While these segments have separate products and technical know-how, they share common business systems and processes, technology centers, and strategic and technology roadmaps. With the technology, capabilities and complementary product portfolios from these segments, we believe we are uniquely positioned to collaborate across divisions to create new, co-optimized and increasingly integrated solutions for our customers. For example, our SCEM segment offers a highly selective nitride etch chemistry, our MC segment provides a liquid filter that is specifically matched to that formulation and our AMH segment ensures the integrity of the product as it is moved to and through the fab environment. See note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Company’s three segments.
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 2021 end April 3, 2021, July 3, 2021, October 2, 2021 and December 31, 2021. Unaudited information for the three months ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020 and the financial position as of April 3, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Key operating factors Key factors, which management believes have the largest impact on the overall results of operations of the Company, include:
•Level of sales Since a significant portion of the Company’s product costs (except for raw materials, purchased components and direct labor) are largely fixed in the short-to-medium term, an increase or decrease in sales affects gross profits and overall profitability significantly. Also, increases or decreases in sales and operating profitability
19
affect certain costs such as incentive compensation and commissions, which are highly variable in nature. The Company’s sales are subject to the effects of industry cyclicality, technological change, substantial competition, pricing pressures and foreign currency fluctuations.
•Variable margin on sales The Company’s variable margin on sales is determined by selling prices and the costs of manufacturing and raw materials. This is affected by a number of factors, which include the Company’s sales mix, purchase prices of raw materials (especially polymers, membranes, stainless steel and purchased components), domestic and international competition, direct labor costs, and the efficiency of the Company’s production operations, among others.
•Fixed cost structure The Company’s operations include a number of large fixed or semi-fixed cost components, which include salaries, indirect labor and benefits, facility costs, lease expenses, and depreciation and amortization. It is not possible to vary these costs easily in the short-term as volumes fluctuate. Accordingly, increases or decreases in sales volume can have a large effect on the usage and productivity of these cost components, resulting in a large impact on the Company’s profitability.
Impact of COVID-19 on our Business
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, governmental authorities have implemented and are continuing to implement numerous and constantly evolving measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, masking recommendations and mandates, limits on gatherings, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and business shutdowns. In some cases, governmental re-opening plans have been delayed or reversed due to spikes in the number of infections in the local area. We continue to monitor the situation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, which remains fluid and uncertain, and to proactively manage and adapt our responses in collaboration with our employees, customers and suppliers. However, we are unable to accurately predict the full impact that COVID-19 may have on our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows, which will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with accuracy, including, but not limited to, the duration and continued spread of the outbreak, its severity, potential additional waves of infection, the actions to mitigate the virus or its impact, the development, distribution, efficacy and acceptance of vaccines and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.
Health and Safety
Commencing in the first quarter of 2020, we have taken, and continue to take, proactive, aggressive action to protect the health and safety of our employees, customers, partners and suppliers. We enacted rigorous safety measures, including social distancing protocols, encouraging employees who do not need to be physically present on the manufacturing floor or in a lab to perform their work to work from home, suspending non-essential travel, implementing temperature checks and other access controls at the entrances to our facilities, extensively and frequently disinfecting our workspaces and providing masks to employees who are physically present at our facilities. We expect to continue to implement these measures until the COVID-19 pandemic is adequately contained, and we may take further actions as government authorities require or recommend or as we determine to be in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners and suppliers. We expect that the pandemic may abate at different times in different regions, and accordingly our health and safety protocols may vary across regions.
Operations
We have important manufacturing operations in the United States, Japan, Korea, China, Malaysia, and Taiwan, all of which have been affected by the outbreak and have taken measures to try to contain it. Measures providing for business shutdowns have generally excluded certain essential services, and those essential services have commonly included critical infrastructure and the businesses that support that critical infrastructure. While all of our facilities currently remain operational, these measures have impacted and may further impact our workforce and operations, as well as those of our customers, suppliers and other third parties with which we do business. For example, in March 2020 the government of Malaysia issued an order that significantly reduced the number of employees who could be physically present to operate our Malaysian plant, which temporarily reduced the productivity of that plant. The government of Malaysia issued a similar order restricting movement throughout that country in January 2021. Our Malaysian plant is operating at normal capacity as of the date of this filing. In addition to reduced productivity, constraints and limits imposed on our operations may slow or diminish our research and development and customer qualification activities. During 2020, we experienced brief interruptions in operations at our sites in Hangzhou, China, San Luis Obispo, California and Bedford, Massachusetts and so far during 2021 we have experienced minor interruptions in operations at our site in San Luis Obispo, California and a brief construction delay to an expansion of our facility in Toronto, Canada. While governmental measures may be modified, extended or reimposed, we expect that, absent a significant surge in infections in the relevant local area or within our workforce or those of our suppliers, our manufacturing and research and development facilities will remain operational, largely at or near normal capacity. In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced limited absenteeism from employees who are required to be on-site to perform their jobs. We do not currently expect that our operations will be materially adversely affected by significant absenteeism. In addition, we have incurred incremental employee compensation related to the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, since April
20
2020, we have awarded certain of our employees who are required to physically report to a manufacturing facility in order to perform their jobs during the COVID-19 crisis with a special appreciation bonus for their efforts in sustaining our production continuity.
Supply
We have not yet experienced any significant impacts or interruptions to our supply chain as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, certain of our suppliers have faced difficulties maintaining operations in light of government-ordered restrictions, shelter-in-place mandates and outbreaks of infection within their workforces. As the pandemic continues, our suppliers may face challenges in maintaining their level of supply as a result of these or other factors. For example, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, during the first half of 2020, one of our critical valve suppliers was shut down and was unable to supply us with valves for certain of our gas purification products. In this instance we were able to procure this critical part from a second, pre-qualified source. Although we regularly monitor the financial health of companies in our supply chain, financial hardship on our suppliers or sub-suppliers caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could cause a disruption in our ability to obtain raw materials or components required to manufacture our products and thus require us to increase our safety stocks of certain raw materials or components, adversely affecting our operations. To mitigate the risk of potential supply interruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic, during 2020 and into 2021, we chose to increase certain inventory levels, causing us to hold more inventory than we might have otherwise maintained. We may decide to take similar actions going forward, which may result in increased charges for excess or obsolete inventory, which would have the effect of reducing our profitability. Additionally, restrictions or disruptions of transportation, such as reduced availability of air transport, port closures and increased border controls or closures, have resulted, in certain instances, in higher costs and delays, both on obtaining materials and shipping finished goods to customers. If these restrictions and disruptions continue, they could harm our profitability, make our products less competitive or cause our customers to seek alternative suppliers.
Demand
While the COVID-19 pandemic has caused economic and demand uncertainty, during the first quarter of 2021 we continued to see strong demand from leading-edge customers associated with end-uses in servers and other data center applications. We believe that a portion of the orders that we received in the first quarter of 2021 may have been a result of customers increasing their inventory to reduce their exposure to risks of future supply disruptions due to COVID-19 or global logistics constraints, which could offset demand for our products in the future. We anticipate that the pandemic will continue to contribute to global economic uncertainty, which could ultimately harm demand for our products.
Liquidity
Although there is uncertainty regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future results, we believe our business model, our current cash reserves and our balance sheet leave us well-positioned to manage our business through this crisis as we expect it to unfold. We have taken recent steps to strengthen our balance sheet. In April 2021, we announced and priced a private offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 3.625% senior unsecured notes due 2029, or the 2029 Notes. We plan to use the proceeds of the offering, together with cash on hand and approximately $75 million borrowed under our senior secured revolving facility due 2023, or the Revolving Facility, to pay the redemption price in full of the $550 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% senior unsecured notes due 2026 that are currently outstanding, or the 2026 Notes, and to pay certain fees and expenses related to the offering. In addition, on April 30, 2020, we issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior unsecured notes due April 15, 2028. We used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to repay approximately $142 million of borrowings under the Revolving Facility, representing the entire aggregate principal amount outstanding thereunder. We also used a portion of the net proceeds of the offering to repay approximately $251 million of outstanding borrowings under our senior secured term loan facility, or the Term Loan Facility.
We have reviewed numerous potential scenarios in connection with the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy and the semiconductor industry. Based on our analysis, we believe our existing balances of domestic cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $171.9 million as of April 3, 2021, and our currently anticipated operating cash flows, after taking into account the anticipated issuance of the 2029 Notes and the use of net proceeds, cash on hand and borrowings to fund the redemption of the 2026 Notes, will be sufficient to meet our cash needs arising in the ordinary course of business for the next twelve months.
We continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and guidance from international and domestic authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities, and may take additional actions based on their recommendations and requirements or as we otherwise see fit to protect the health and safety of our employees, customers, partners and suppliers. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our operating plan. As such, given the dynamic nature of this situation, we cannot reasonably estimate the impacts that COVID-19 may have on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for additional information regarding risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including under the caption “The COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing governmental responses could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.”

Overall Summary of Financial Results
For the three months ended April 3, 2021, net sales increased 24% to $512.8 million, compared to $412.3 million for the three months ended March 28, 2020. Total net sales increased primarily as a result of strong industry conditions, several node transitions and strong overall demand for the Company’s products and solutions. Net sales for the three months ended April 3, 2021 included sales of $3.2 million from acquired businesses and favorable foreign currency translation effects of $5.4 million.
The Company’s gross profit for the three months ended April 3, 2021 increased to $235.0 million, up from $185.5 million for the three months ended March 28, 2020. The Company experienced a 45.8% gross margin for the three months ended April 3, 2021, compared to 45.0% in the comparable year-ago period. The gross profit and gross margin increases reflect higher factory utilization associated with higher sales levels and a favorable sales mix.
The Company’s selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expense increased by $12.5 million for the three months ended April 3, 2021 compared to the year-ago quarter, mainly due to higher employee costs resulting from increased headcount, benefits and merit increases.
As a result of the aforementioned factors, the Company reported net income of $84.7 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the quarter ended April 3, 2021, compared to net income of $61.0 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, a year ago.
On April 16, 2021, the Company announced that it had priced its private offering of the 2029 Notes. The 2029 Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company. The issuance of the 2029 Notes is expected to close on April 30, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
Cash and cash equivalents were $548.5 million at April 3, 2021, compared with cash and cash equivalents of $580.9 million at December 31, 2020. The Company had outstanding long-term debt (excluding current maturities) of $1,086.2 million at April 3, 2021, compared to $1,085.8 million at December 31, 2020.
Critical Accounting Policies
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 its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 5, 2021. 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 aforementioned critical accounting policies.

The increase in sales to customers in North America, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and China was primarily driven by a general increase in demand for products in all three of the Company’s segments. The increase in sales from Europe primarily relates to higher sales of Advanced Materials Handling products. The decrease in sales from Southeast Asia primarily relates to lower demand for products from our SCEM segment.
Gross profit The Company’s gross profit increased 27% for the three months ended April 3, 2021 to $235.0 million, compared to $185.5 million for the three months ended March 28, 2020. The Company experienced a 45.8% gross margin rate for the
23
three months ended April 3, 2021, compared to 45.0% in the comparable year-ago period. The gross profit and gross margin increases reflect higher factory utilization associated with higher sales levels and a favorable sales mix.
Selling, general and administrative expenses SG&A expenses were $71.4 million in the three months ended April 3, 2021, compared to $58.9 million in the year-ago period. An analysis of the factors underlying the change in SG&A expenses is presented in the following table:

Amortization expenses Amortization of intangible assets was $11.9 million in the three months ended April 3, 2021, compared to $16.2 million for the three months ended March 28, 2020. The decrease primarily reflects the elimination of amortization expense of $5.0 million for identifiable intangible assets acquired in acquisitions that became fully amortized in previous periods, partially offset by additional amortization expense of $0.5 million associated with recent acquisitions.
Interest expense Interest expense includes interest associated with debt outstanding and the amortization of debt issuance costs associated with such borrowings. Interest expense was $11.7 million in the three months ended April 3, 2021, compared to $10.6 million in the three months ended March 28, 2020. The increase primarily reflects higher average debt levels.
Interest income Interest income was $0.1 million in the three months ended April 3, 2021, compared to $0.3 million in the three months ended March 28, 2020. The decrease reflects lower average interest rates.
Other expense, net Other expense, net was $4.3 million in the three months ended April 3, 2021 and consisted mainly of foreign currency transaction losses of $4.3 million. Other expense, net was $0.9 million in the three months ended March 28, 2020 and consisted mainly of foreign currency transaction losses of $0.6 million.
Income tax expense Income tax expense was $13.4 million in the three months ended April 3, 2021, compared to income tax expense of $8.6 million in the three months ended March 28, 2020, respectively. The Company’s year-to-date effective tax rate at April 3, 2021 was 13.7%, compared to 12.4% at March 28, 2020.
The income tax expense for the three months ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020 include discrete benefits of $7.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively, recorded in connection with share-based compensation. The increase in the effective tax rate from 2020 to 2021 primarily relates to a valuation allowance on federal foreign tax credits generated in 2021 of $1.4 million.
Net income Due to the factors noted above, the Company recorded net income of $84.7 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, in the three-month period ended April 3, 2021, compared to net income of $61.0 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, in the three months ended March 28, 2020. In the three months ended April 3, 2021, net income, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 16.5% from 14.8% in the year-ago period.
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 “Non-GAAP Information” included
24
below in this section 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 25% to $150.1 million in the three months ended April 3, 2021, compared to $120.3 million in the three months ended March 28, 2020. In the three months ended April 3, 2021, Adjusted EBITDA, as a percentage of net sales, was flat at 29% compared to the year-ago period.
Adjusted Operating Income increased 29% to $128.0 million in the three months ended April 3, 2021, compared to $99.6 million in the three months ended March 28, 2020. Adjusted Operating Income, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 25% from 24% in the year-ago period.
Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share increased 27% to $0.70 in the three months ended April 3, 2021, compared to $0.55 in the three months ended March 28, 2020.
The increases in adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income and non-GAAP earnings per share are generally attributable to the increases in sales and gross profit.
Segment Analysis
The Company reports its financial performance based on three reporting segments. The following is a discussion of the results of operations of these three business segments. See note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Company’s three segments.
The following table presents selected net sales and segment profit data for the Company’s three reportable segments, along with unallocated general and administrative expenses, for the three months ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020.

Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials (SCEM)
For the first quarter of 2021, SCEM net sales increased to $166.5 million, compared to $144.2 million in the comparable period last year. The sales increase was due to increased sales of advanced deposition materials, cleaning chemistries, specialty gases and advanced coatings. SCEM reported a segment profit of $34.6 million in the first quarter of 2021, up 6% from $32.7 million in the year-ago period. The segment profit increase was primarily due to higher gross profit related to increased sales volume, partially offset by a 17% increase in operating expenses, primarily due to higher compensation costs.
Microcontamination Control (MC)
For the first quarter of 2021, MC net sales increased to $207.1 million, compared to $159.3 million in the comparable period last year. The sales increase was mainly due to improved sales from liquid filtration and gas filtration products. MC reported a segment profit of $70.6 million in the first quarter of 2021, up 41% from $50.2 million in the year-ago period. The segment profit improvement was primarily due to higher gross profit related to increased sales volume and favorable product mix, partially offset by a 24% increase in operating expenses due to higher compensation costs.
Advanced Materials Handling (AMH)
For the first quarter of 2021, AMH net sales increased to $148.5 million, compared to $116.1 million in the comparable period last year. The sales increase was mainly due to improved sales from all major semi-related product platforms, sales of our Aramus high purity bags, as well as additional sales of $2.7 million attributable to the acquisition of Global Measurement
25
Technologies, Inc., or GMTI, in the third quarter of 2020. AMH reported a segment profit of $32.1 million in the first quarter of 2021, up 56% from $20.6 million in the year-ago period. The segment profit increase was primarily due to higher sales volume and favorable product mix, partially offset by a 16% increase in operating expenses due to higher compensation costs.
Unallocated general and administrative expenses
Unallocated general and administrative expenses totaled $11.4 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $6.5 million in the comparable period last year. The $4.9 million increase mainly reflects a $5.1 million increase in employee costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We consider the following when assessing our liquidity and capital resources:
| In thousands | April 3, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | |||||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 548,520 | $ | 580,893 | |||||||
| Working capital | 978,335 | 931,631 | |||||||||
| Total debt | 1,086,186 | 1,085,783 | |||||||||
The Company has historically financed its operations and capital requirements through cash flow from its operating activities, long-term loans, lease financing and borrowings under domestic and international short-term lines of credit. On April 16, 2021, we agreed to sell $400 million of our 2029 Notes. The sale of the 2029 Notes is expected to close on April 30, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions. We intend to use the net proceeds of the offering, together with cash on hand and approximately $75 million borrowed under the Revolving Facility, to pay the redemption price for the redemption in full of the 2026 Notes and to pay certain fees and expenses related to the offering. The redemption of the 2026 Notes is conditioned on the Company’s receipt of $400 million of proceeds from a new offering of unsecured notes, such as the 2029 Notes.
Although there is uncertainty regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s future results, we believe our business model and our current cash reserves will help us to manage our business through this crisis as we expect it to unfold. We have reviewed numerous potential scenarios in connection with the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy and the semiconductor industry. Based on our analysis, we believe our existing balances of domestic cash and cash equivalents and our currently anticipated operating cash flows, after taking into account the anticipated issuance of the 2029 Notes and the use of net proceeds, cash on hand and borrowings to fund the redemption of the 2026 Notes, 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 2021, we have not experienced difficulty accessing the capital and credit markets as evidenced by our recent announcement of our $400 million note offering; however, 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 3, 2021 | March 28, 2020 | |||||||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 53,115 | $ | 11,403 | |||||||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (43,258) | (98,210) | |||||||||
| Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities | (39,375) | 71,685 | |||||||||
| Decrease in cash and cash equivalents | (32,373) | (16,834) | |||||||||
Operating activities Cash provided by operating activities is net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. Cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $53.1 million in the three months ended April 3, 2021, compared to $11.4 million in the three months ended March 28, 2020. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to higher net income and a lower net change in working capital and other assets and liabilities. The net change in
26
working capital and other assets and liabilities resulted in a decrease to cash provided by operations of $80.8 million for the three months ended April 3, 2021 compared to a decrease of $97.0 million for the three months ended March 28, 2020.
Changes in working capital and other assets and liabilities for the three months ended April 3, 2021 were driven primarily by increases in inventories, accounts receivable and accounts payable and decreases in accrued liabilities. The change for accounts receivable was primarily due to the timing of collections. The change for inventory was driven by an increase in business activity. The change for accounts payable and accrued liabilities was primarily driven by a higher accounts payables due to timing of payments and higher accrued bonuses in 2021, partially offset by a higher payment of the previous year incentive compensation.
Investing activities Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $43.3 million in the three months ended April 3, 2021, compared to $98.2 million in the three months ended March 28, 2020. The change was due to less cash paid for acquisitions of businesses, partially offset by higher cash paid for acquisition of property, plant and equipment.
Acquisition of property, plant and equipment totaled $43.3 million in the three months ended April 3, 2021, which primarily reflected investments in equipment and tooling, compared to $22.6 million in the three months ended March 28, 2020, which primarily reflected investments in equipment and tooling.
In the three months ended March 28, 2020, the Company acquired Sinmat. The cash used to acquire Sinmat for the three months ended March 28, 2020 was $75.6 million, net of cash acquired. The transaction is described in further detail in note 3 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
As of April 3, 2021, the Company expects its full-year capital expenditures in 2021 to be approximately $225.0 million for growth capacity investments and the initial phase of the previously announced investment in our new facility in Taiwan. As of April 3, 2021, the Company had outstanding capital purchase obligations of $55.5 million for the construction or purchase of plant and equipment not yet recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company had not received the related goods or property as of such date.
Financing activities Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $39.4 million during the three months ended April 3, 2021, compared to $71.7 million during the three months ended March 28, 2020. The change was primarily due to absence of net short-term debt activity during the three months ended April 3, 2021, compared to a net source of cash of $142.0 million in the comparable period in 2020, and a $3.6 million increase in cash used to pay taxes for net share settlements of equity awards, offset in part by the absence of a $16.1 million deferred acquisition payment related to our acquisition of Digital Specialty Chemicals in 2020 and a decrease of $14.6 million in repurchases of the Company’s common stock.
Our total dividend payments were $10.9 million in the three months ended April 3, 2021, compared to $10.8 million in the three months ended March 28, 2020. We have paid a cash dividend in each of the past 14 quarters. On April 14, 2021, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share of common stock, payable on May 19, 2021 to stockholders of record on April 28, 2021.
Other Liquidity and Capital Resources Considerations
The Company’s Term Loan Facility matures on November 6, 2025 and bore interest at a rate per annum of 2.1% at April 3, 2021. As of April 3, 2021, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan Facility was $145.0 million.
The Company’s Revolving Facility provides for lending commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300.0 million, maturing on November 6, 2023. 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 LIBOR plus, in each case, an applicable margin. In connection with our issuance of the 2029 Notes, we intend to amend the Revolving Facility to provide for lending commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to $400.0 million and to extend the maturity to April 30, 2026. At April 3, 2021, there was no balance outstanding under the Revolving Facility and we had undrawn outstanding letters of credit of $0.2 million.
As of April 3, 2021, we had $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes and $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior unsecured notes due April 15, 2028 outstanding.
Through April 3, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under its credit facilities.
The Company also has a line of credit with one bank that provides for borrowings of Japanese yen for the Company’s Japanese subsidiary, equivalent to an aggregate of approximately $9.0 million. There were no outstanding borrowings under this line of credit at April 3, 2021.
As of April 3, 2021, the Company’s sources of available funds were its cash and cash equivalents of $548.5 million, funds available under the Revolving Facility and international credit facilities and cash flow generated from operations. As of April 3, 2021, the amount of cash and cash equivalents held in certain of our foreign operations totaled approximately $376.6 million. If we repatriate such funds, we will be required to pay income taxes in certain U.S. states and applicable foreign withholding taxes
27
on those amounts during the period when such repatriation occurs. We have accrued taxes for the tax effect of repatriating the funds to the United States.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of April 3, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no significant changes to the contractual obligations reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements Refer to note 1 to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recently adopted accounting pronouncements.
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, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined by the Company as net income before, as applicable, (1) income tax expense, (2) interest expense, (3) interest income, (4) other (income) expense, net, (5) charge for fair value write-up of acquired inventory sold, (6) deal and transaction costs, (7) integration costs, (8) severance and restructuring costs, (9) amortization of intangible assets and (10) depreciation. Adjusted Operating Income, another non-GAAP financial measure, 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 EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined by the Company as net income before, as applicable, (1) charge for fair value write-up of acquired inventory sold, (2) deal and transaction costs, (3) integration costs, (4) severance and restructuring costs, (5) loss on debt extinguishment, (6) amortization of intangible assets, (7) tax effect of legal entity restructuring and (8) the tax effect of the foregoing adjustments to net income, stated on a per share basis.
The Company provides supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to help management and investors to better understand its 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 its business.
In addition, and as a consequence of the importance of these non-GAAP financial measures in managing its business, the Company’s Board of Directors uses non-GAAP financial measures in the evaluation process to determine management compensation.
28
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.
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 fair value write-up of acquired inventory, 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 equivalents 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 $3.1 million and $1.5 million for the quarter ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020.
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, Canadian Dollar, Malaysian Ringgit, Singapore Dollar, Euro, Israeli Shekel and the Japanese Yen. Approximately 23.5% and 22.8% of the Company’s 2021 and 2020 sales for the quarters ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020, respectively, are denominated in these currencies, respectively. Financial results therefore will be affected by changes in currency exchange rates. If all foreign currencies had experienced a 10% reduction versus the U.S. dollar during the three months ended April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020, revenue for the quarters would have been negatively impacted by approximately $12.5 million and $9.4 million, respectively.
The Company occasionally uses derivative financial instruments to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risks associated with its foreign-based operations. At April 3, 2021, the Company had no 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 3, 2021. 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 3, 2021, 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.
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.
The Company acquired GMTI on July 10, 2020. GMTI is not significant to the Company’s financial statements. The Company is continuing to integrate GMTI into the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, and the foregoing evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures does not include an assessment of those disclosure controls and procedures of GMTI that are subsumed by internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
As of April 3, 2021, 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 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On December 14, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program, effective February 16, 2021, covering the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $125 million of the Company’s common stock during a period of twelve months, in open market transactions and in accordance with one or more pre-arranged stock trading plans to be established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. This repurchase program replaced the previous repurchase program, which was originally approved in February 2020 and which expired pursuant to its terms on February 15, 2021. The previous program had substantially the same terms.
| Period | (a) Total Number of Shares Purchased | (b) Average Price Paid per Share | (c) Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs | (d) Maximum Number (or Approximate Dollar Value) of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs | ||||||||||

| Total | 145,024 | $103.43 | 145,024 | $116,786,872 | ||||||||||
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.
