Egide SA has reaffirmed its growth in the first half-year, and realizes its best performance since 2010. Thanks to its faithful customer base, revenue has increased following the demand led by the thermal imaging market, which represents more than 60% of the sales in 2016.
After a 10% growth in H1-16 compare to H1-15, Egide USA has suffered due to the political climate (presidential and congressional elections). In the second half of the year, customers have adopted a wait-and-see policy regarding new projects given the unsteady economic environment. The revenue declined on a yearly basis, with the new ceramic product line not yet enjoying production volume activity.
The distribution of the annual revenue per application is as follow:
| In million Euros | 2015 | 2016 * | Variation |
| Thermal imaging | 9.25 | 9.99 | + 8.0 % |
| Power management | 5.86 | 5.62 | - 4.1 % |
| Optronics | 2.54 | 2.47 | - 2.8 % |
| Microwave | 1.73 | 2.55 | + 47.4 % |
| Others | 1.21 | 1.56 | + 28.9 % |

James F. Collins, Chairman & CEO of the group, comments: " We are pleased to see the continued growth of revenue of the group, especially the French facility. A positive "book to bill" ratio of 1.18 has increased our backlog of current orders by over 3 million euros, or + 25% as compared to year end 2015. These facts, along with the capital expenditures made in 2015 and 2016 to produce High Temperature Cofired Ceramic in our US facility and the worldwide sales force put in place in 2016, have positioned the group for a strong 2017. Our expectations are for continued revenue increases of around 10% in 2017 for the group, along with improved profitability. "
