ANDOVER, MA – MKS Instruments announced revenue of $932 million for the third quarter, a decrease of 6.9% from the third quarter of 2022.
For the fourth quarter, the company expects revenue of $840 million, plus or minus $40 million.
“We executed well in delivering strong profitability in the third quarter, despite a muted demand environment across our end markets,” said John T.C. Lee, president and CEO. “We are actively engaged with customers across a broad range of technology inflections, and our unique capabilities to address next-generation device designs position us well to emerge from the current downturn in a stronger position with a stronger product portfolio.”
“We have a long history of managing our business through cycles, and the third quarter was no exception, as disciplined cost management along with favorable product mix enabled us to exceed the high-end of our guidance for Non-GAAP gross and operating margins in the third quarter,” said Seth H. Bagshaw, executive vice president and CFO. “In October, we successfully repriced our USD Term Loan B and made a voluntary prepayment of $100 million on our Term Loan A, demonstrating our commitment to optimizing our capital structure.”
