ANDOVER, Mass., Feb. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MKS Instruments, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKSI), a global provider of technologies that transform our world, today reported fourth quarter and full year 2022 financial results. The Company also announced that it will be filing a Form 12b-25 with the SEC today, as it requires additional time to file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 due to the ransomware event it identified on February 3, 2023.

“Fourth quarter revenue and Non-GAAP EPS exceeded the high-end of our guidance range, capping an important year for MKS in which we firmly established the company as a foundational technology solutions provider focused on the core building blocks of advanced electronic devices,” said John T.C. Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Lee added, “We are well into the recovery phase of our manufacturing and service operations following the ransomware incident identified on February 3rd, and we expect these operations will be restored over the coming weeks. I am very thankful for our dedicated employees who have worked tirelessly to help bring interrupted systems back online. Our team is focused on making up for lost time, delivering on our commitments and meeting the needs of our customers, whose support during the past weeks we’ve greatly appreciated.”

“We delivered strong revenue and profitability in the fourth quarter as a result of solid operational execution,” said Seth H. Bagshaw, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “We also generated strong free cash flow in the quarter, as evidenced by a $100 million voluntary term loan prepayment made in December.”

Mr. Bagshaw added, “We are looking forward to returning to solid growth and profitability as our business normalizes, with a focus on driving attractive gross margins associated with our proprietary and high-value solutions, disciplined investment in the growth of our business, and extending our long-standing track record of accelerated de-levering following an acquisition.”

First Quarter 2023 Outlook

The Company anticipates the previously announced ransomware incident identified on February 3, 2023 to have a material impact on the Company’s first quarter results. The full scope of the costs and related impacts of the incident has not yet been determined. As a result, the Company will not provide its usual first quarter guidance at this time.

Prior to the ransomware event, the Company expected revenue in the first quarter of approximately $1 billion. The Company currently estimates the impact from the incident on first quarter revenue to be at least $200 million.

The Company expects to resume its normal guidance practice for the second quarter.

Notes on Our Non-GAAP Financial Information

Non-GAAP financial measures adjust GAAP financial measures for the items listed below. These Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, MKS’ reported GAAP results, and may be different from Non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. MKS management believes the presentation of these Non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors for comparing prior periods and analyzing ongoing business trends and operating results. Totals presented may not sum and percentages may not recalculate using figures presented due to rounding.

Note 1: Acquisition and integration costs during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily related to our acquisition of Atotech (the “Atotech Acquisition”). Acquisition and integration costs during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 primarily related to our acquisition of Photon Control Inc. (“Photon Control”) in July 2021 and the Atotech Acquisition. Acquisition and integration costs during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 also included costs related to a proposed acquisition that was not consummated.

Note 2: Costs of revenues during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and the three months ended September 30, 2022 include the amortization from the step-up of inventory to fair value as a result of the Atotech Acquisition.

Note 3: We recorded additional interest expense related to the amortization of debt issuance costs associated with our new and prior term loan facilities.

Note 4: Restructuring and other costs during the three months ended December 31, 2022 primarily related to the closure of two facilities in Europe and movement of certain products to low cost regions. Restructuring and other costs during the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily related to executive payments made related to the Atotech Acquisition. Restructuring and other costs during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 primarily related to executive payments made related to the Atotech Acquisition, severance costs due to a global cost-saving initiative, the closure of two facilities in Europe and movement of certain products to low cost regions. Restructuring and other costs during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 primarily related to severance costs due to a global cost saving initiative, costs related to the closure of two facilities in Europe and movement of certain products to low cost regions. In addition, restructuring and other costs during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 included duplicate facility costs attributed to entering into new facility leases.

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

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

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

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

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

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