Entegris, Inc. Reports Fourth-Quarter Business Trends Better Than Expected
Entegris, Inc. (Nasdaq: ENTG) today said that business trends for the
company through its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007 were better
than expected. Company management made these comments at the 10th
Annual Needham Growth Stock Conference in New York City.
Gideon Argov, president and chief executive officer of Entegris, said: “We
experienced strong-than-expected demand in the fourth quarter across our
product portfolio, even as capital spending in the semiconductor
industry slowed. Looking to 2008, we remain focused on investing in new
wafer handling and fluid management products and technologies that
increase the productivity of our customers’
advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes, while we continue with
steps currently under way to further optimize our global operating
footprint.”
The company will issue its results for the quarter and year ended
December 31, 2007, on Tuesday, February 12, 2008, before the market open.
