Additional Financial Information

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company completed a private offering of €1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.25% senior notes due 2034. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering, together with the net proceeds from the partial refinancing of its then-existing USD term loan B and refinancing of its then-existing EUR term loan B, both of which were also completed during the first quarter of 2026, and cash on hand to prepay approximately $1.3 billion of, and refinance in full, its existing USD term loan B and refinance in full its existing EUR term loan B. The Company also upsized its revolving credit facility from $675 million to $1.0 billion. In addition, the Company increased its dividend from $0.22 per share to $0.25 per share and paid a cash dividend of $17 million.

At March 31, 2026, the Company had $569 million in cash and cash equivalents, $1.6 billion of secured term loan principal outstanding, $1.4 billion of convertible senior notes outstanding, €1.0 billion of senior notes outstanding and up to $1.0 billion of additional borrowing capacity under a revolving credit facility, subject to certain leverage ratio requirements. The appreciation of our stock price during the first quarter of 2026 resulted in the satisfaction of the stock price conversion condition under the indenture governing our convertible senior notes. As a result, the convertible senior notes are convertible, in whole or in part, at the option of the noteholders at any time during the second quarter of 2026, and were classified as short-term debt, net of issuances costs, at March 31, 2026.

In May 2026, the Company made a voluntary principal prepayment of $100 million on its USD term loan B.

Second Quarter 2026 Guidance

Revenue of $1,200 million, plus or minus $40 million

Gross margin of 47.0%, plus or minus 1.0%

GAAP operating expenses of $337 million, plus or minus $5 million and Non-GAAP operating expenses of $275 million, plus or minus $5 million

GAAP net income of $151 million, plus or minus $21 million and Non-GAAP net earnings of $202 million, plus or minus $21 million

GAAP net income per diluted share of $2.09, plus or minus $0.29 and Non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share of $2.90, plus or minus $0.30

Adjusted EBITDA of $328 million, plus or minus $26 million

The guidance for the second quarter is based on the current business environment, including the impact of U.S. import tariffs and the imposition of retaliatory actions taken by other countries up through but not including the date of this release. The Company will continue to monitor and adapt to changes in the business environment as needed.

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.

Restructuring and other includes incremental expenses incurred in connection with restructuring programs and other strategic initiatives, primarily related to changes in business and/or cost structure. Such costs may include third-party services, one-time termination benefits, facility-related costs, contract termination fees and other items that have no direct correlation to our future business operations.

Legal settlement includes charges related to the resolution of legal matters.

Amortization of intangible assets includes non-cash amortization expense associated with intangible assets acquired in acquisitions.

Loss on extinguishment of debt includes the non-cash write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount costs incurred from voluntary prepayments, refinancings and/or repricings of our term loan facility.

Amortization of debt issuance costs includes non-cash additional interest expense related to the amortization of debt issuance costs associated with our debt.

Loss from de-designation of interest rate hedges includes a cash loss from the de-designation of certain interest rate hedges in connection with the voluntary prepayment of the USD term loan B.

Fees and expenses related to debt activities includes direct third-party costs related to repricings or refinancings of our term loan facility and the issuance of our €1.0 billion of senior notes due 2034 in February 2026.

Convertible debt capped calls includes the antidilutive impact of the capped call transactions entered into in connection with the issuance of $1.4 billion of convertible senior notes in May 2024. The capped calls are designed to reduce potential dilution to the Company’s common stock and/or offset cash payments in excess of the principal upon conversion of the notes, subject to an initial cap of $237.42 per share (a 100% premium to the May 13, 2024 closing price of $118.71), subject to customary adjustments. Because the capped calls are excluded from GAAP diluted share calculations, GAAP and Non‑GAAP diluted share counts will differ.

Tax effect of Non-GAAP adjustments includes the impact of Non-GAAP adjustments that are tax effected at applicable statutory rates resulting in a difference between the GAAP and Non-GAAP tax rates.
