1 | Jim Dauwalter on Camera | Hello everyone and welcome to the employee quarterly communication for the second quarter of fiscal year 2005. This quarter ended on February 26. | ||
2 | Jim Dauwalter on Camera | I want to begin by telling you how happy I am with our results of the past quarter. | ||
3 | Jim Dauwalter on Camera | Going into the quarter we forecasted that sales would be declining and we would have to work hard to control costs. |
4 | Jim Dauwalter on Camera | Well, you did just that and our results show it. For that I thank you.
| ||
5 | Jim Dauwalter on Camera | Another factor contributing to our results was the strength in the Data Storage market. John Villas, our Chief Financial Officer, will tell you more about this in just a few minutes. | ||
6 | Music fades B-roll of newspaper headlines announcing planned merger between Entegris & Mykrolis |
Another major event that happened in the second quarter was the announcement of the planned merger with Mykrolis. | ||
7 | B-roll of newspapers continues | At that time, I told you I would provide continuous communication to you with regard to the status of the merger. | ||
8 | Jim back on camera | Since the announcement, the response Ive received from many Entegris and Mykrolis employees as well as our analysts, investors, customers and significant suppliers/partners is that bringing these two companies together makes tremendous sense strategically, operationally, technologically and financially. | ||

Bullet Points appear with voice over · Full and equal partners · Bigger · Stronger · More stable enterprise · Better able to navigate |
We will be full and equal partners in a bigger, stronger, more stable enterprise and one better able to navigate through the inevitable ups and downs of the semiconductor industry. | ||
10 | Jim Dauwalter on Camera | Ive picked up on some concerns some of you may be having centering on what happens to our values-based culture as we become a larger company, and even more in the event that Stan Geyer and I will not have direct responsibility for leading the company on a daily basis. |

11 | Generic b-roll of Entegris employees from file tape from various facilities | Entegris and our culture are bigger than any of us. Over the years, we have instilled a values-based philosophy with Entegris employees on a worldwide basis. | ||
12 | Jim Dauwalter on Camera | You should also know that Mykrolis has a history of performance and expectation based on the value of integrity. | ||
13 | Jim Dauwalter on Camera | With this in mind, I can assure you, being a values-based company will continue under future leadership. | ||

Below that reads: Planning, evaluating and learning about each company is underway |
The planning, evaluating and learning about each companys capabilities around the world is going on now. | ||
15 | Jim Dauwalter on Camera | As further information unfolds, you will be kept informed. In the meantime, it is of utmost importance that we all pay attention to our ongoing daily jobs and that we remain an independent company, just as Mykrolis is, until the close of the merger. | ||
16 | Jim Dauwalter on Camera | You may recall reviewing a short video clip that was sent shortly after we announced our planned merger where Gideon Argov, CEO of Mykrolis, and I talked to you about the synergistic opportunities as we combine two great companies, Entegris and Mykrolis. | ||
17 | Jim Dauwalter on Camera | I thought the message was very good and important enough to share with you again. | ||

19 | GIDEON ARGOV speaking
Date appears lower left: March 21, 2005 |
Jim and I are here to announce today that Entegris and Mykrolis are merging to create a new company, the new Entegris. | ||
20 | GIDEON ARGOV speaking | Jim, Im tremendously excited about the new Entegris, which will be a worldwide leader in materials integrity management. | ||
21 | GIDEON ARGOV speaking | Well have a broad array of products and services that addresses the entire value chain for our customers, all the way from the raw wafer to finished devices. | ||
22 | GIDEON ARGOV speaking | And, well have a set of customers that is absolutely global around the worldin Asia, Japan, North America and Europe, as well as a set of technologies that supports those customers, wherever they are. So, the new Entegris is truly a global company as it begins its path. | ||
23 | JIM DAUWALTER speaking | With this expanded product offering for the two companies, when we come together were going to focus on purifying, protecting and transporting critical materials into the high tech industry. | ||
24 | JIM DAUWALTER speaking | That can be anything from gasses and liquids, to wafers, components
Many of these same product offerings going to our solid customer base that we currently have
And just being a stronger provider to the whole industry with regards to the combined capabilities that we have. | ||
25 | GIDEON ARGOV speaking | Jim, one of the great things about the new Entegris is that it will start out life with a very strong financial profile. | ||
26 | GIDEON ARGOV speaking | Together we have cash on the balance sheet of well over $250 million dollars. We have trailing revenues of over $650 million dollars. |

27 | GIDEON ARGOV speaking | The transaction is going to be significantly accretive to our shareholders in 2006,
And the combined company will generate a great deal of cash,
so the new Entegris starts out its life with a very attractive and very strong financial profile, Jim. | ||
28 | JIM DAUWALTER speaking | Absolutely. And thats important because this will put us in a better position to be a better supplier to our customers and suppliers and will be a dynamic growth environment for our employees as well. | ||
29 | GIDEON ARGOV speaking | Which brings to mind one additional point; our employees.
The greatest strength the new Entegris has going for it is the talent and experience of the Entegris employees around the world, wherever they are.
We look forward to tapping into and harnessing that energy as we build the new Entegris. | ||
30 | JIM DAUWALTER speaking | One final note, we expect this deal to close in the latter part of June, so in the meantime, its business as usual.
We have a lot of customers to take care of, and we want to continue to be a great supplier to them, so business as usual.
Thank you very much. | ||
31 | GIDEON ARGOV speaking Shot fades to black. |
Thank you. | ||
32 | Jim Dauwalter on Camera | Again, let me reinforce that we must continue to handle our responsibilities as we do every other day of the year. | ||
33 | Jim Dauwalter on Camera | If, and when this deal closes, we will be able to implement the plans now being developed to create the new Entegris, a stronger, exciting Entegris filled with opportunities for employees. | ||

Overall, we performed very well.

39 | JOHN VILLAS on camera | Lets delve into where these revenues came from by taking a quick look at each of our market sectors. | ||
40 | Full Screen Graphic
Headline: Data Storage · Sales increased 43% · 12% of our revenue · Up from 8% in Q1 |
The data storage market saw a strong surge last quarter sales were very strong increasing by more than 43 percent. This sector made up 12 percent of our revenues, thats up from 8 percent in the first quarter. | ||
41 | B-roll of I-pod sitting next to disk drives | Our customers in this market produce the disk media used in consumer electronics. With the growing demand for consumer electronics they must produce more media requiring more of our disk shippers. | ||

44 | Full Screen Graphic: Headline: Semiconductor · Consumption Driven · Capital Spending Driven
Full Screen Graphic: Headline: Semiconductor · Consumption Driven Sales decreased 12% |
Here we have two product categories, consumption driven and capital spending driven. In the consumption driven area we saw sales drop by almost 12 percent primarily due to the drop in the utilization rate at the fab level, combined with inventory build-up, which had to be absorbed. | ||
45 | JOHN VILLAS on camera | In addition, some fabs were closed during the December holiday season and around the lunar new year celebrations. | ||
46 | JOHN VILLAS on camera | The good news is that we are now seeing order levels stabilize. | ||
47 | Full Screen Graphic: Headline: Semiconductor · Capital Spending Driven Sales decreased 12% |
In the capital spending driven area, sales also decreased about 12 percent. | ||
48 | JOHN VILLAS on camera | Our 300 mm product demand remained stable at historically high levels, yet our fluid handling and smaller wafer size products declined. | ||
49 | JOHN VILLAS on camera | The order patterns seem to have stabilized but weak spots remain primarily in the equipment portion of the market. | ||
50 | Full Screen Graphic:
Headline: Services Q2 Sales flat
Separate page:
8% Q2 total sales |
Services sales were essentially flat with the first quarter. They represented 8 percent of total sales. | ||

3% Q2 Total sales |
The Life Science sales were also flat from last quarter. They represented 3 percent of total sales. | ||
53 |
JOHN VILLAS on camera | The bookings here are firming up nicely and we believe sales here will increase sequentially over the next quarter as we recognize revenue on some large equipment orders. | ||
54 |
Full Screen Graphic: Headline: Fuel Cell Sales down slightly from Q1 |
In the investment market of fuel cells, sales declined slightly from our first quarter. | ||

Where did we sell these products last quarter? 37 percent were in North America, 32 percent in Asia Pacific, 16 percent in Europe and 15 percent in Japan. | ||
57 |
Full Screen Graphic: Headline: Q2 Sales · 32% Asia Pacific Sales increased 9% |
Note that Asia Pacific increased about 9 percent this quarter due to the strength in data storage. | ||
58 |
JOHN VILLAS on camera | Looking at the whole picture for our next quarter, we expect sales to be flat to slightly up from the just reported quarter. |

59 |
JOHN VILLAS on camera | Again, the challenge for all of us is to adjust our costs to the revenue levels we expect. I am confident we will continue to manage successfully through all market conditions. | ||

GREG MORRIS on camera | Its amazing, simply amazing. How can this tiny device hold thousands of songs and yet be relatively low cost? | ||
63 |
GREG MORRIS on camera | For that matter, how can this phone take pictures and even store them for me? | ||
64 |
B-roll shot of disk shipper | Heres the disk drive that makes it possible.
Entegris makes products that protect and transport most of the components in this hard drive. Thats incredible. | ||
65 |
Full Screen graphic Headline: Data Storage Industry In 2005 35% Growth |
Whats also incredible is the rapid growth in the data storage industry. Its expected that in 2005 the industry will grow 35 percent. This growth is driven primarily by consumer electronics. | ||
66 |
B-roll shot of consumer electronics | This includes the iPod, the cell phone and all the electronic devices you and I buy to make our lives easier. | ||
67 |
GREG MORRIS on camera | Since consumer electronics is driving the data storage industry, there are consumer factors affecting it. |

· Consumer using a cell phone
· Consumer using a keyboard/laptop
· Consumer using a headset and PDA |
A big thing here is reliability. Consumers like you or I demand reliability in the products we buy. If a product doesnt work, we will not buy from that company again. | ||
69 |
GREG MORRIS on camera | Well, when our customers sell their disk drives to be included in a consumer electronic device, it must work. It must be reliable. | ||
70 |
GREG MORRIS on camera | Another factor affecting the data storage industry is keeping cost down. As consumers we want to buy reasonably priced electronic devices. If the industry were not continually focused on prices, our devices would be too expensive. | ||
71 |
B-roll from Entegris facility in Malaysia | One way our customers keep costs down is by outsourcing portions of their manufacturing. | ||
72 |
B-roll from Entegris facility in Malaysia | Both of these factors play right into the Entegris business model. Weve been making disk carriers and shippers that have reliably served customers for over 25 years. | ||
73 |
B-roll from Entegris facility in Malaysia | Our customers trust us to make them products that work. This is the direct result of all Entegris employees who are careful in planning, making and delivering these products. | ||
74 |
GREG MORRIS on camera | On the outsourcing side, there are great opportunities that fit right in with the growth plans for Entegris. | ||
75 |
Full Screen Graphic: Entegris Product on Demand |
One program that is now getting traction in the market is the Entegris Product on Demand program. We call it EPOD for short. | ||
76 |
Full Screen Graphic: Shows EPOD flow chart |
It enables customers to focus on what they do best, like making hard drives, and leave the processing and transporting to Entegris. | ||
77 |
GREG MORRIS on camera | Heres how it works, its complete materials integrity management to our customers. | ||
78 |

82 |
GREG MORRIS on camera | Now lets take a look at each of the disk drive components and the Entegris products that make these electronic devices possible. | ||
83 |
B-roll of disk drives | The major components in a drive are the disk and an assembly or suspension consisting of the arm, the slider or head, a few electric leads and a motor. | ||
84 |
B-roll of Disk shippers | Disks are protected and transported in Entegris products as they move through a series of manufacturing steps.
More than 50 percent of the worlds substrates are handled with Entegris products. | ||
85 |
Shot of Entegris carrier holding heads | The heads, also called sliders, are handled in Entegris trays. | ||
86 |
B-roll of Entegris carrier holding heads | This head is a truly remarkable device. It actually writes and reads the data on the disk. | ||
87 |
B-roll of plastic box with femto sized heads | The head size in common use today is called Femto, and the size of these heads is a quadrillionth of a meter similar in size to a grain of sand. | ||
88 |
GREG MORRIS on camera | About 300 of these heads are held in one Entegris tray. | ||
89 |
B-roll of spingle motor tray | We provide trays for the spindle motor. | ||
90 |
B-roll of HGA tray | The suspension is assembled into the Head Gimbel Assembly or HGA for short. | ||
91 |
B-roll from Gilroy | Along with all these products we provide on or off-site services that include cleaning for all of our products. |
11
92 |
B-roll from Gilroy | We do this cleaning in our Regional Service Facilities like the one in Gilroy, California; in Singapore and Montpellier, France. | ||
93 |
B-roll from Gilroy | It involves removing labels, inspecting to ensure the product can still perform, cleaning, packaging and returning to the customer in literally good as new condition. | ||
94 |
GREG MORRIS on camera | With all of this, you can see how well positioned we are in the market today and for the future. | ||
