Quarterly Figures for 2015 Published
- Order Intake of EUR 28.5 million within guidance
- Sales at EUR 26.9 million
- EBIT at EUR -2.2 million due to low sales level
Garching, May 7, 2015 - SUSS MicroTec, a global supplier of equipment and
process solutions for the semiconductor industry and related markets,
published its report for the first quarter of the 2015 fiscal year today.
Order intake in the first three months 2015 came in at EUR 28.5 million,
which is within our guidance of EUR 25 - 35 million and 14 percent above
the previous year. Sales amounted to EUR 26.9 million, which is down
sequentially and is below the EUR 39.0 million of the first quarter 2014.
Besides seasonal effects the main reason for the reported moderate sales
level in Q1 2015 was the high sales level in Q4 2014. The Order backlog
amounted to EUR 78.8 million (previous year: EUR 71.4 million).
Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) came in at EUR -2.2 million
(previous year: EUR 1.5 million). Earnings after taxes (EAT) amounted to
EUR -2.5 million, compared to EUR 1.1 million in the previous year. The
basic earnings per share (EPS) totaled EUR -0.13 (previous year: EUR 0.06).
The free cash flow for the first quarter 2015, before effects of the
purchase or sale of interest bearing securities, amounted to EUR -5.5
million (previous year's quarter: EUR -4.2 Million). As of March 31, 2015,
the SUSS MicroTec-Group has cash and interest bearing securities of EUR
41.6 million. Net liquidity amounted to EUR 31.6 million which is below the
level at year end 2014 of EUR 38.0 million (March 31, 2014: EUR 31.5
million).
Outlook
Taking the order backlog at the end of the first quarter 2015 and the
expected order entry for the second quarter 2015 into account, the Company
reiterates its guidance for full year sales to come in between EUR 130
million and EUR 140 million. EBIT is expected to reach the
break-even-level.
For the second quarter of the 2015 fiscal year the Company expects orders
to come in between EUR 30 million and EUR 40 million.
