The gross margin rate ended at 37% of consolidated sales for FY 2015 which represents an increase by 6 points compared to the previous year. This improvement resulted mainly from the MEMSCAP business strategy focused on high-added value market segments and the amplification of productivity within the production entities of the Group. Consolidated gross margin for FY 2015 amounted to EUR 4.6 million against EUR 4.1 million for FY 2014.
Operating expenses (net of research & development grants) amounted to EUR 3.8 million for FY 2015. This amount is in line with the previous year (FY 2014: Net operating expenses at EUR 3.7 million).
The significant growth of the Group's gross margin over FY 2015 combined with the control of operating costs led to a EUR 0.8 million operating profit (representing 6.4% of consolidated revenue) compared to an operating profit at EUR 0.4 million for FY 2014 (representing 2.8% of consolidated revenue).
The financial loss for FY 2015 amounted to EUR 0.1 million compared to a financial loss of EUR 0.2 million for FY 2014. This loss mainly included foreign exchange losses on Group's sales for EUR 0.1 million (FY 2014: Foreign exchange losses of EUR 0.2 million).
Finally, the net profit for FY 2015 amounted to EUR 0.7 million (representing 5.3% of consolidated revenue) compared to a net profit of EUR 0.2 million for FY 2014 (representing 1.4% of consolidated revenue).
The positive operating cash flow amounted to EUR 1.5 million for FY 2015 compared to EUR 1.7 million for FY 2014. At December 31, 2015, consolidated available cash was EUR 3.9 million including cash and short term deposits as well as cash investments (Corporate bonds) recorded under financial assets available for sale. In addition to this amount, the available unused credit lines amounted to EUR 0.4 million at December 31, 2015.
At December 31, 2015, net cash was EUR 2.3 million increasing by EUR 1.4 million compared to the net cash position at December 31, 2014.
MEMSCAP shareholder's equity totaled EUR 17.8 million at December 31, 2015.
At the end of the fiscal year 2013, the Group announced its intention to focus its efforts on improving its profitability. The significant increase in the Group's financial performances during the fiscal year 2014 materialized a business strategy focused on high-value markets and productivity gains within the Group's production entities.
In the wake of 2014, the fiscal year 2015 confirmed the growth of the Group's profitability resulting from this business strategy. This dynamic enabled the Group to generate free cash flow and to significantly strengthen its net cash which represented 13% of the shareholders' equity at December 31, 2015.
MEMSCAP intends to pursue this strategy in the coming year while expanding its international sales network.
