ANDOVER, Mass., Feb. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MKS Inc. (NASDAQ: MKSI), a global provider of enabling technologies that transform our world, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2025.

“Our outstanding Q4 and full-year 2025 financial performance demonstrates that the investments we have made to enable today’s advanced electronics are bearing fruit,” said John T.C. Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our broad technology portfolio targeted to next-generation semiconductor manufacturing and advanced packaging drove double-digit growth in our two key end markets in 2025. MKS is in an excellent position to capitalize on current and future opportunities in a secular growth environment driven by AI transformation.”

“The strong cash flow we generated in 2025 allowed us to proactively invest in our business to support growth and manage our balance sheet,” said Ram Mayampurath, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Our debt prepayments, along with the recent refinancing of our term loans and the issuance of €1.0 billion senior notes, have diversified our capital structure, extended our maturities and meaningfully reduced our interest rates, strengthening our financial position.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results

This press release includes financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“Non-GAAP financial measures”). These Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, MKS’ reported results under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), 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.

MKS is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP net earnings, Non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share, Non-GAAP operating expenses, and Adjusted EBITDA to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because it is unable to estimate with reasonable certainty the ultimate timing or amount of certain significant items without unreasonable efforts. These items include, but are not limited to, fees and expenses related to amendments to the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility, amortization of debt issuance costs, interest expense, and the income tax effect of these items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, including, but not limited to, our recently completed private offering of €1.0 billion principal amount of 4.25% senior notes and refinancing of our Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility on February 4, 2026, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the relevant period.

For further information regarding these Non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to the tables presenting reconciliations of our Non-GAAP results to our GAAP results and the “Notes on Our Non-GAAP Financial Information” at the end of this press release.

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.

Acquisition and integration costs include incremental expenses incurred to effect the Atotech Acquisition. Such acquisition costs may include advisory, legal, tax, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees. Such integration costs may include expenses directly related to integration of business and facility operations, information technology systems and infrastructure and other employee-related costs.

Restructuring and other include 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.

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 and/or repricing 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 term loan facility.
