Entegris Reports Results for Second Quarter of 2025
Bertrand Loy, Entegris' President and Chief Executive Officer, said: 'Our second quarter revenue grew 2 percent sequentially and was above our guidance range. Growth was driven by demand for our unit-driven solutions, particularly CMP consumables, selective etch and deposition materials. Gross margin, EBITDA margin and non-GAAP EPS were all within guidance.'
Mr. Loy added: 'Semiconductor industry trends are largely unchanged. AI-enabled applications are driving significant growth in advanced logic and HBM. However, elsewhere, fab activity remains subdued. And in the short term, the uncertainty around trade policies and the macroeconomic environment will continue to have an impact on semiconductor demand. That said, we do expect stronger performance from our business in the second half of this year.'
Mr. Loy concluded: 'Looking further ahead, nothing has changed in our long-term view of the industry. We remain very optimistic and continue to have high confidence in the strong long-term growth outlook for the market and Entegris,' he said. 'Our expertise in materials science and materials purity is increasingly valuable for our customers to help them improve device performance and achieve optimal yields. Because of the uniqueness of our value proposition and the quality of our execution, we expect to outperform the market in the years to come.'

Non-GAAP Information
The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Adjusted Net Sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Segment Profit, Adjusted Operating Income, non-GAAP Net Income, non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Margin and diluted non-GAAP Earnings Per Common Share, together with related measures thereof, are considered 'non-GAAP financial measures' under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company provides supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to better understand and manage 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 its business segments and to make operating decisions. Management believes that 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 that non-GAAP measures offer a more consistent view of business 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 generally 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. The reconciliations of GAAP net sales to Adjusted Net Sales (excluding divestiture), GAAP gross profit to Adjusted Gross Profit, GAAP segment profit to Adjusted Operating Income, GAAP net income to Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA, GAAP net income and diluted earnings per common share to non-GAAP Net Income and diluted non-GAAP Earnings Per Common Share and GAAP outlook to non-GAAP outlook are included elsewhere in this release.

Paramount's (NASDAQ:PARA) Q2 Earnings Results: Revenue In Line With Expectations
Multinational media and entertainment corporation Paramount (NASDAQ:PARA) met Wall Street's revenue expectations in Q2 CY2025, but sales were flat year on year at $6.85 billion. Its non-GAAP profit of $0.46 per share was 24.6% above analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy Paramount? Find out in our full research report. Paramount (PARA) Q2 CY2025 Highlights: Revenue: $6.85 billion vs analyst estimates of $6.86 billion (flat year on year, in line) Adjusted EPS: $0.46 vs analyst estimates of $0.37 (24.6% beat) Adjusted EBITDA: $824 million vs analyst estimates of $749.8 million (12% margin, 9.9% beat) Operating Margin: 5.8%, up from -78.1% in the same quarter last year Free Cash Flow Margin: 1.7%, up from 0.1% in the same quarter last year Market Capitalization: $8.74 billion Company Overview Owner of Spongebob Squarepants and formerly known as ViacomCBS, Paramount Global (NASDAQ:PARA) is a major media conglomerate offering television, film production, and digital content across various global platforms. Revenue Growth A company's long-term sales performance can indicate its overall quality. Even a bad business can shine for one or two quarters, but a top-tier one grows for years. Unfortunately, Paramount's 2.3% annualized revenue growth over the last five years was weak. This was below our standards and is a rough starting point for our analysis. Long-term growth is the most important, but within consumer discretionary, product cycles are short and revenue can be hit-driven due to rapidly changing trends and consumer preferences. Paramount's performance shows it grew in the past but relinquished its gains over the last two years, as its revenue fell by 2% annually. We can better understand the company's revenue dynamics by analyzing its three most important segments: TV Media, Direct-to-Consumer, and Filmed Entertainment, which are 58.6%, 31.5%, and 10.1% of revenue. Over the last two years, Paramount's TV Media revenue (broadcasting) averaged year-on-year declines of 8.1%. On the other hand, its Direct-to-Consumer revenue (streaming) averaged year-on-year growth of 0.8% while its Direct-to-Consumer revenue (streaming) was flat. This quarter, Paramount's $6.85 billion of revenue was flat year on year and in line with Wall Street's estimates. Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to decline by 1.7% over the next 12 months, similar to its two-year rate. This projection doesn't excite us and suggests its newer products and services will not accelerate its top-line performance yet. Unless you've been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) stock benefiting from the rise of AI. Click here to access our free report one of our favorites growth stories. Operating Margin Paramount's operating margin has risen over the last 12 months, but it still averaged negative 5.7% over the last two years. This is due to its large expense base and inefficient cost structure. In Q2, Paramount generated an operating margin profit margin of 5.8%, up 83.9 percentage points year on year. This increase was a welcome development and shows it was more efficient. Earnings Per Share We track the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) for the same reason as long-term revenue growth. Compared to revenue, however, EPS highlights whether a company's growth is profitable. Sadly for Paramount, its EPS declined by 23.5% annually over the last five years while its revenue grew by 2.3%. This tells us the company became less profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded. In Q2, Paramount reported adjusted EPS at $0.46, down from $0.54 in the same quarter last year. Despite falling year on year, this print easily cleared analysts' estimates. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects Paramount's full-year EPS of $1.13 to grow 19.2%. Key Takeaways from Paramount's Q2 Results We enjoyed seeing Paramount beat analysts' EPS expectations this quarter. We were also happy its EBITDA outperformed Wall Street's estimates. On the other hand, its Direct-to-Consumer revenue missed. Overall, we think this was still a solid quarter with some key areas of upside. The stock remained flat at $12.50 immediately following the results. So should you invest in Paramount right now? We think that the latest quarter is just one piece of the longer-term business quality puzzle. Quality, when combined with valuation, can help determine if the stock is a buy. We cover that in our actionable full research report which you can read here, it's free.
