CMC Materials

On July 6, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed its acquisition of CMC Materials, Inc. (now known as CMC Materials LLC) (“CMC Materials”) for approximately $6.0 billion in cash and stock (the “Acquisition”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, 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 Materials Solutions segment (the segment resulting from combining the Advanced Planarization Solutions and the Specialty Chemicals and Engineered Materials segments) of the Company. Direct costs of $31.9 million and $39.3 million associated with the acquisition of CMC Materials, consisting primarily of professional and consulting fees, were expensed as incurred in the three and nine months ended

October 1, 2022, respectively. 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. CMC Materials’ 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	$	3,836,983
Stock paid to CMC Materials’ shareholders	1,265,690
Repayment of CMC Materials’ indebtedness	918,578
Total purchase price	6,021,251
Less cash and cash equivalents acquired	280,636
Total purchase price, net of cash acquired	$	5,740,615

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.

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	$	280,636
Accounts receivable and other current assets	207,472
Inventory	256,598
Property, plant and equipment	537,387
Identifiable intangible assets	1,736,219
Other noncurrent assets	39,725
Current liabilities	(211,417)
Deferred tax liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities	(452,805)
Net assets acquired	2,393,815
Goodwill	3,627,436
Total purchase price	$	6,021,251

The final valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Acquisition was completed in the second quarter of 2023.

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.

The Company recognized the following intangible assets as part of the acquisition of CMC Materials and finite-lived assets are amortized on a straight-line basis:


(In thousands)	Amount		Weighted average life in years
Developed technology	$	1,043,000	7.3
Trademarks and trade names	236,600		14.9
Customer relationships	414,300		18.3
In-process research and development (1)	31,400
Other	10,919		1.0
	$	1,736,219	11.0

(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 of 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 $3,627.4 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.

Pro Forma Results (Unaudited)

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of the Company as if the acquisition of CMC Materials had occurred January 1, 2021. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations actually would have been had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of each year. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial information does not attempt to project the future results of operations of the combined company. The pro forma information does not include any potential revenue enhancements, cost synergies or other operating efficiencies that could result from the acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma financial information above gives effect to the following:

•The elimination of transactions between Entegris and CMC Materials, which upon completion of the Acquisition would be considered intercompany. This reflects the elimination of intercompany sales and associated intercompany accounts.

•Incremental amortization and depreciation expense related to the estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets and property, plant and equipment from the purchase price allocation.

•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, net of the one-time gain on the termination of two swap instruments which were terminated on June 24, 2022 in connection with the repayment of CMC Materials’ debt upon completion of the Acquisition.

•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.

•The income tax effect of the transaction accounting adjustments related to the Acquisition calculated using a blended statutory income tax rate of 22.5%.

•The incremental pro forma stock-based compensation expense for accelerated vesting upon the change in control for stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock shares, phantom units, and other deferred restricted stock units.

•The additional cost of goods sold recognized in connection with the write-up of acquired finished goods inventory of $61.9 million. The write-up is recognized in cost of sales as the inventory is sold, which for purposes of these pro forma financial statements is assumed to occur within the first quarter after the Acquisition and is non-recurring in nature.
