Non-GAAP net income of $69.8 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, represented an increase of 43% and 44%, respectively, from the second quarter of 2017.
For the first half of fiscal 2018, sales of $750.3 million increased 16% from the same period a year ago. First-half 2018 net income was $111.9 million, or $0.78 per share, which included amortization of intangible assets of $23.7 million, $6.3 million of integration costs and transaction expenses associated with the purchase of SAES Pure Gas, as well as a $2.1 million tax charge related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Non-GAAP net income for the first half of 2018 of $137.9 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, represented an increase of 54% and 52%, respectively, from the first half of 2017.
Bertrand Loy, president and chief executive officer, said: "We are very pleased with our record second-quarter performance and the quality of our execution. Through the first half of 2018 we grew our sales by 16 percent from a year ago and achieved strong growth across all three divisions, outpacing our markets and demonstrating the increasing value of our solutions. Thus far this year we grew our profits faster than sales by a substantial margin, and generated adjusted EBITDA of $215 million, or 28.7 percent of sales."
Mr. Loy added: "Our conviction in the long-term growth trajectory of the industry is reaffirmed by continued healthy levels of demand for semiconductors across a broadening set of end-markets. We believe that our unique value proposition to solve complex materials and purity challenges, the diversity of our customer base and our strong balance sheet will enable us to continue to outpace our markets by taking advantage of a multitude of growth opportunities across the industry ecosystem. For the full year 2018, we expect to achieve sales of $1,545 million to $1,570 million, or approximately 16 percent above 2017, including the additional sales from the acquisition of SAES Pure Gas, which we completed on June 25, 2018."
Third-Quarter Outlook
For the third quarter ending September 30, 2018, the Company expects sales of $395 million to $410 million, net income of $52 million to $59 million (excluding integration costs), and net income per diluted share between $0.36 and $0.41. On a non-GAAP basis, EPS is expected to range from $0.46 to $0.51 per diluted share, which reflects net income on a non-GAAP basis in the range of $66 million to $73 million, which is adjusted for expected amortization expense of approximately $18 million, or $0.10 per share.
