DGAP-Adhoc: SÃSS MicroTec AG: Publication of the Preliminary Figures for the Fiscal Year 2014 - EBIT at EUR 8.4 million well above expectations

SÃSS MicroTec AG / Key word(s): Preliminary Results 11.02.2015 14:53 Dissemination of an Ad hoc announcement according to Â§ 15 WpHG, transmitted by DGAP - a service of EQS Group AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- AD-HOC-ANNOUNCEMENT ACCORDING TO Â§15 WpHG Publication of the Preliminary Figures for the Fiscal Year 2014 - EBIT at EUR 8.4 million well above expectations Garching, February 11, 2015 - SUSS MicroTec, a leading supplier of equipment and process solutions for the semiconductor and related markets, publishes its preliminary figures for the 2014 fiscal year today. The Company generated sales of EUR 145.3 million (previous year: EUR 134.5 million) in the last fiscal year and booked an order entry of EUR 134.3 million (previous year: EUR 135.0 million). The order backlog amounted to EUR 75.6 million (12/31/2013: EUR 85.7 million). Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) came in at EUR 8.4 million - which is better than previously expected (previous year: EUR -19.4 million). The main reasons are a positive product mix as well as better than expected gross margins. EBIT for 2014 includes an unexpected income from written-off receivables of EUR 1.3 million. It also includes a severance payment of EUR 1.0 million. The EBIT for 2013 included a special effect of EUR 13.2 million which resulted from the measures taken in the permanent bonding product line. Order entry in Q4 2014 came in at EUR 44.0 million (previous year: EUR 29.1 million). Sales of EUR 50.3 million were above the level of the previous year (EUR 40.5 million). The EBIT reached EUR 8.3 million after EUR -6.2 million in the previous year. EBIT for Q4 2014 includes an unexpected income from written-off receivables of EUR 0.6 million. EBIT of the fourth quarter 2013 includes a special effect of EUR 7.2 million, resulting from the measures taken in the permanent bonding product line. The Free Cash Flow for the fiscal year before security transactions was EUR 2.1 million, compared to EUR 4.1 million in the previous year. Net liquidity increased from EUR 35.7 million to EUR 38.0 million on December 31, 2014. Taking the order backlog at the yearend 2014 and the expected order entry for the first half of 2015 into account, the Company guides sales for the fiscal year to come in between EUR 130 million and EUR 140 million. The operating result (EBIT) is expected to reach the break-even-level. One reason for the lower EBIT expectation in 2015 is a substantial increase in research and development spending. For the first quarter 2015 the management board expects an order intake between EUR 25 and 35 million. The final key figures for the 2014 fiscal year - which may deviate from those given above - will be published on March 30, 2015.
