Key Terms

gaap, non-gaap financial measures, adjusted ebitda, convertible senior notes
4 terms
gaap financial
"GAAP net income of $175 million"
GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.
View in glossary
non-gaap financial measures financial
"This press release includes financial measures that are not in accordance"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
adjusted ebitda financial
"Adjusted EBITDA of $358 million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
convertible senior notes financial
"$1.4 billion of convertible senior notes outstanding"
Convertible senior notes are a type of loan that a company issues to investors, which can be turned into company shares later on. They are called "senior" because they are paid back before other debts if the company runs into trouble. This allows investors to earn interest like a loan but also have the chance to own part of the company if its value rises.

Additional Financial Information

At June 30, 2026, the Company had $611 million in cash and cash equivalents, $1.5 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 trading price of our common stock during the second quarter of 2026 resulted in the satisfaction of the stock price conversion condition under the indenture governing our convertible senior notes.

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

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 a cap. 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.
