Half Year Figures for 2016 Published
- Q2 Order intake with EUR 39.2 million at upper end of guidance
- EBIT at EUR 0.9 million in the second quarter 2016
Garching, August 5, 2016 - SUSS MicroTec published its report for the first
half of the fiscal year 2016 today. Sequential order intake went up by
approximately 30% to EUR 39.2 million. Compared with the second quarter
2015, order intake was down slightly by 4.9% (Q2 2015: EUR 41.2 million).
Sales increased strongly compared to Q2 2015 and came in at EUR 41.4
million (Q2 2015: EUR 28.1 million).
Looking at the first half of 2016, SUSS MicroTec achieved an order intake
of EUR 69.3 million after EUR 69.7 million in the previous year. Total
sales came in at EUR 69.0 million, which is well above the EUR 55.1 million
of the previous year. Thus, order backlog amounted to
EUR 117.7 million at June 30, 2016 (June 30, 2015: EUR 91.4 million).
The Group's largest division, Lithography, recorded an increase in sales by
more than 50% in the first half of the year from EUR 36.6 million to EUR
56.1 million. The Bonder division contributed lower sales of EUR 4.0
million in the first half of the year (previous year: EUR 5.1 million). Due
to the quarter's cut-off date the Photomask Equipment division achieved
sales of EUR 4.6 million (previous year: EUR 9.7 million). Sales in the
Others division increased from the previous year to EUR 4.3 million
(previous year: EUR 3.6 million).
Despite the significant sales increase on a year-on-year basis, the Company
was not able to generate a positive EBIT in the first half of 2016. EBIT in
the second quarter of 2016 is loaded with a negative margin and profit
contribution, which resulted from the sales recognition of the first
projection scanners from a high-volume order of the year 2015. Earnings
before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to minus EUR 1.0 million, which
is better than the minus EUR 3.9 million of the previous year. The gross
profit margin declined slightly in the first half and stood at 31.3% for
the SUSS MicroTec Group (H1 2015: 33.0%). Earnings after taxes (EAT)
amounted to minus EUR 3.1 million, compared to minus EUR 4.6 million in the
previous year. Basic earnings per share (EPS) amount to minus EUR 0.16
(previous year: EUR -0.24).
The Free Cash Flow for the first half year 2016 amounted to minus EUR 12.0
(previous year: EUR -13.2 million). Net liquidity amounted to EUR 28.1
million at the end of the first half year (June 30, 2015: EUR 25.6
million).
Outlook
After a modest start into the 2016 financial year, the Management Board
expects an order entry in the second half of 2016 in the bandwidth of EUR
80 to 90 million. Previously the Management Board had assumed a more
pronounced recovery in the order situation over the first half of 2016. The
reason for the reduced expectations is the generally difficult market
situation. Moreover, the Company did not receive any orders from new
customers for the UV-projection scanners from SUSS MicroTec Photonic
Systems so far.
Due to the expected order intake situation in the second half of 2016 and
the expected order backlog at year-end 2016, the Management Board expects
sales in fiscal 2017, to be in the range of EUR 160 million.
For the running year, the Company reiterates the guides for sales to come
in between EUR 170 and 180 million (previous year: EUR 148.5 million). The
operating result (EBIT) is expected to be in the bandwidth of EUR 9 to 13
million (previous year: EUR 5.0 million).
