specialty chemicals and advanced materials solutions for the microelectronics industry and other high-tech industries. entegris is iso 9001 certified and has manufacturing, customer service and/or research facilities in the united states, canada, china, france, germany, israel, japan, malaysia, singapore, south korea and taiwan. additional information can be found at www.entegris.com. 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 ebitda, adjusted gross profit, adjusted segment profit, and adjusted operating income, together with related measures thereof, and non-gaap net income and non-gaap eps, 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 uses these non-gaap financial measures for financial and operational decision-making, as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons, as well as comparisons to the company’s competitors' operating results. management believes that these non-gaap financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the company’s performance and liquidity by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the company’s recurring business operating results, such as amortization, depreciation and discrete cash charges that may vary significantly from period to period. the company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-gaap financial measures in assessing and understanding the company’s results and performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. the company believes these non-gaap financial measures are useful to investors both because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) they are used by the company’s institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the company’s business. the reconciliations of gaap net income to adjusted operating income and adjusted ebitda, gaap net income and earnings per share to non-gaap net income and earnings per share, gaap gross profit to adjusted gross profit and gaap segment profit to adjusted operating income are included elsewhere in this release. forward-looking statements this press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the private securities litigation reform act of 1995. the
