We look back today on an eventful third quarter. On August 25, we reported that the Supervisory Board of SUSS MicroTec AG had canceled the appointment of Mr. Frank Averdung as Chief Executive Officer of SUSS MicroTec AG as of August 24, 2014 because of differing opinions about the strategic orientation of the Company. Pending the decision about a successor, we – Michael Knopp (CFO) and Walter Braun (COO) – will temporarily assume Mr. Averdung's duties. Dear shareholders, be assured that the Management Board and Supervisory Board of your Company are making a concerted effort to successfully push forward our corporate strategy and we will implement the goals we have set for ourselves as quickly as possible.
In the third quarter, the stock market was characterized by a gloomier economic outlook and a tense geopolitical situation. In addition, we observed the stock price performance of the SUSS MicroTec share in September and October with some concern. Despite the announcement of a profitable fiscal year in 2014, a solid statement of financial position, and sufficient net liquidity, our shareholders appeared to be very concerned about the future development and even continued viability of the Company. These concerns have manifested themselves in sharp price declines. In the interim, the SUSS MicroTec share has fallen below € 4, reaching an annual low of € 3.75. Only after publication of preliminary corporate figures was the Company able to regain trust, enabling the share price to stabilize in a weak market environment. Another important sign for the capital markets were the directors' dealings following publication of the preliminary quarterly figures for 2014. Following notification of the share purchases by both Members of the Management Board, the share price initially continued to stabilize and was even able to rise slightly in a weak market environment.
On the product side, we were able to strengthen our Substrate Bonder division significantly in the past quarter with a new technology. With the ELD300, the Company launched a powerful excimer laser debonder for the stress-free debonding of 200 and 300mm 3D-IC wafers. The laser debonder can be used as a stand-alone semiautomated system or as an integrated process module in SUSS MicroTec's XBC300 Gen2 platform. In the debonding method using an excimer laser, the tape between the glass carrier and a mounted thinned wafer is separated using a 308 nm excimer laser. The ultraviolet light of the pulsed excimer laser is absorbed in the thermoplastic adhesive itself or in an optional absorption layer within a few hundred nanometers. The absorbed energy breaks the chemical bonds without generating thermal stress so that the glass carrier can then be easily lifted off the thinned wafer. The ELD300 module primarily addresses applications in the areas of 2.5D and 3D-IC, but also in the field of 3D MEMS, CMOS image sensors, and power devices.
In the quarterly comparison, order entry amounted to €29.1 million after €34.3 million in the previous year's quarter, representing a decrease of 15.2%. Due to low order entry volume in the months from January to March 2014, sales were € 25.6 million in the months from July to September, or 34,2% below the level in the previous year's quarter (Q3 2013: €38.9 million). EBIT of €-3.3 million in the third quarter was below the EBIT of €1.6 million in the previous year's quarter. EBIT of the third quarter 2014 includes a provision for severance payments of € 1.0 million. The corresponding expense is disclosed under administrative costs.
Sales in the first nine months reached €95.0 million, about 1.1% above the level of €94.0 million in the previous year. Order entry of € 90.3 million was less than € 105.9 million in the previous year. This resulted in order backlog of €82.2 million (previous year: €97.6 million) as of the reporting date of September 30, 2014.

Lithography, the Company's largest division, was able to report sales of €60.0 million in the first nine months (previous year: €64.9 million). The Photomask Equipment division recorded sales of €14.6 million (previous year: €15.7 million). The Substrate Bonder division produced a higher contribution to sales of €16.4 million (previous year: €9.8 million).
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of €0.1 million were above the €-13.2 million of the previous year's quarter. EBIT for the first three quarters of 2013 included an extraordinary effect of €-6.0 million from refocusing the Permanent Bonding product line. The extraordinary effect primarily included value adjustments for demonstration equipment and inventories and capitalized development costs from the years prior to 2008. Earnings in the third quarter of 2014 included a provision for severance payments of € 1.0 million. The corresponding expense is disclosed under administrative costs.
Earnings after taxes (EAT) amounted to €-0.9 million, compared with €-10.5 million in the previous year. The basic earnings per share (EPS) totaled €-0.05 (previous year: €-0.55).

Net liquidity came in at €31.8 million as of the reporting date (September 30, 2013: €21.9 million). Free cash flow before the inclusion of securities sales/purchases and extraordinary effects from M&A activities came to €-4.1 million in the first nine months of the year (previous year: € -9.9 million; this incorporated €8.9 million, including ancillary purchase costs for the acquisition of property at the Garching site).
The management board of SUSS MicroTec reiterates the guidance for the fiscal year 2014 and expects sales to be in the bandwidth of 135 – 145 €million. The EBIT expectation for the full year has improved slightly and we now expect an EBIT in the range of 2 and 4 €million.
For the fourth quarter 2014, the Company expects a robust order intake in the range of €30 to €40 million.
The ongoing crisis in Ukraine and the increasingly unstable situation in the Near East, particularly through the advance of the IS militia in Syria and Iraq, but also the ongoing tensions between Israel and Palestine in the Gaza Strip, characterize the current geopolitical situation and are leaving their mark on the economic outlook for Europe and on the stock exchanges. The ifo Institute is assuming only slight growth of 0.2 percent for the third and fourth quarters of 2014, respectively, since the economic actors are adversely affected by geopolitical uncertainties. In Germany, the ifo Business Climate Index for industry and trade declined again in September, reaching a low point since April 2013. Expectations for the coming six months have even fallen to the lowest level since December 2012. Accordingly, there is a tangible uncertainty in the stock market on the part of market participants and a concomitant increase in the volatility of share prices.
Until mid-2014, the SUSS MicroTec share was on a steady upward trajectory, which was impaired only by isolated daily fluctuations. Many shares were able to benefit from the sustained low interest rate policy of the European Central Bank, which made an investment in shares much more attractive. In addition, technology shares, including the SUSS MicroTec share, benefited from improved sentiment in the semiconductor sector. After beginning the stock market year on January 2 at a closing price of € 6.38, the SUSS MicroTec share again moved well above the €8 threshold and ended the first half of the year on June 30, 2014 at a XETRA closing price of €8.75.
In July and early August 2014, the share price essentially moved within a range of €8 – 9. With the publication of mid-year figures on August 7, 2014, SUSS MicroTec slightly raised its outlook for annual earnings in 2014, which was positively received in the market. At the same time, the Company published a forecast for order entry in the second half of 2014, hereby implying a sales level for 2015, which fell short of general market expectations.
In the days following the report, the share price fell sharply and, by the end of the third quarter, recorded a decline of approximately 46 percent to a closing price of €4.76 on September 30, 2014. In addition, as described at the outset, the geopolitical situation became more tense over the course of the third quarter and the stock markets responded with significantly higher volatility and, at times, sharp price declines. The German leading index, DAX, fell below the level of 9,000 points for a time after achieving a record of 10,000 points as recently as July 2014. An improvement of the situation from the geopolitical perspective is hardly to be expected for the fourth quarter. Consequently, stock market movements will probably remain volatile in an unsettled environment.
The average daily trading volume of SUSS MicroTec shares on all German stock exchanges in the first nine months of 2014 amounted to approximately 104,000 shares (9M 2013: average daily trading volume of approximately 97,000 shares).

Performance in the third quarter of 2014 was in line with expectations and key figures were within the range of corporate guidance. In the quarterly comparison, order entry amounted to €29.1 million after €34.3 million in the previous year's quarter, representing a decrease of 15.2%. Due to low order entry volume in the months from January to March 2014, sales were €25.6 million in the months from July to September, or 34.2% below the level in the previous year's quarter. EBIT of €-3.3 million in the third quarter was below the EBIT of €1.6 million in the previous year's quarter. Earnings in the third quarter of 2014 included a provision for severance payments of €1.0 million. The corresponding expense is disclosed under administrative costs.
Sales in the first nine months reached €95.0 million, about 1.1% above the level of € 94.0 million in the previous year. Order entry of €90.3 million was less than €105.9 million in the previous year. This resulted in order backlog of €82.2 million as of the reporting date of September 30, 2014.
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of € 0.1 million were above the €-13.2 million of the previous year's quarter. EBIT for the first three quarters of 2013 included an extraordinary effect of € -6.0 million from refocusing the Permanent Bonding product line. The extraordinary effect primarily included value adjustments for demonstration equipment and inventories and capitalized development costs from the years prior to 2008.
Net liquidity was € 31.8 million as of the reporting date. Free cash flow before the inclusion of securities sales /purchases and extraordinary effects from M&A activities came to €-4.1 million in the first nine months of the year.
In the first nine months of 2014, the regions of North America and Japan both reported double-digit increases in order entry. The number of orders received increased in North America by 10.2% and in Japan by 11.1%. In the first three quarters, the two high-sales regions of Europe and Rest of Asia reported declines in order entry of 24.1% and 18.4%, respectively.
Regional sales displayed uneven development in the first nine months of 2014. While sales in Europe and Japan rose significantly, North America and Rest of Asia recorded a decline in sales volume related to the reporting date.

of SUSS MicroTec AG as of September 30, 2014
The consolidated financial statements of SUSS MicroTec AG as of December 31, 2013, have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) applied by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as of the closing date. The consolidated interim financial statements as of September 30, 2014, which were prepared on the basis of International Accounting Standards (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting," do not contain all of the necessary information as required for the preparation of the Annual Report and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of SUSS MicroTec AG as of December 31, 2013. In the interim financial statements as of September 30, 2014, the same accounting methods were applied as in the consolidated financial statements for the 2013 fiscal year.
All of the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) in effect as of September 30, 2014 have been applied.
For additional information about specific accounting and measurement methods, please see the consolidated financial statements of SUSS MicroTec AG as of December 31, 2013.
The Group auditor has neither audited nor reviewed the interim financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of SUSS MicroTec AG and of all material companies over which, independent of the level of its participatory investment, the proprietary company can exercise control (i.e. the control principle).
Compared with the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2013, there were no changes to the scope of consolidation.
The securities held as available for sale recognized in the statement of financial position include – as in the previous year – corporate and government bonds as well as commercial papers with a term of up to three months. The securities have been measured at market prices. Any fluctuations in the market price are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income and therefore do not affect profit and loss.
In the third quarter of 2014, provisions of €1.0 million were made for severance payments. The corresponding expense is disclosed under administrative costs.
In July 2014, a part of the earn-out liability that resulted from the acquisition of Tamarack /USA in the 2012 fiscal year was paid to the sellers. Due to the current earnings situation and planned sales of SUSS MicroTec Photonic Systems Inc. (previously: Tamarack Scientific Inc.) for the coming months, SUSS MicroTec assumes that no further earn-out payments are due to the sellers. The remaining earn-out provision was reversed as of September 30, 2014. This resulted in other operating income of €0.3 million.
In addition, other operating income included € 1.0 million in income from the reversal of value adjustments for trade receivables. Of the impaired receivables as of December 31, 2013 (€490 thousand as of December 31, 2013 from receivables related to the restructuring of the Permanent Bond Cluster area and € 645 thousand from a trade receivable of SUSS MicroTec Photomask Equipment), by Septmeber 30, 2014 approximately €1.0 million was paid by the customers. In exchange, the lump-sum value adjustment on receivables as of Septmeber 30, 2014 had to be increased by €0.4 million. This addition to the value adjustment was disclosed under other operating expenses.
Financial expense includes €28 thousand ininterest cost from the compounding of noncurrent financial liabilities, which resulted from the acquisitions of Tamarack/USA (100% acquisition) and SUSS MicroOptics /Switzerland (15% acquisition) in the 2012 fiscal year.
Other issues influencing assets, liabilities, shareholders' equity, the result for the period, or cash flows and unusual in terms of their nature, magnitude, or frequency did not arise during the interim reporting period.
No changes in presentation have been made; the presentation of the consolidated financial statements of SUSS MicroTec AG as of September 30, 2014, is analogous to the presentation as of December 31, 2013.
To the extent that estimates were made in the interim reports, the methodology underlying the estimates remained fundamentally the same during the fiscal year and in comparison to the previous fiscal year.
In a departure from the approach used at the end of the fiscal year, income tax expense in each interim reporting period is recorded on the basis of the best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate which is expected for the entire fiscal year.
SUSS MicroTec AG currently assumes that the annual income tax rate will deviate from the expected tax rate of approximately 28%. The primary reason for this is that the losses accrued by foreign subsidiaries cannot be capitalized.
Otherwise there are no changes requiring disclosure which would have a material impact on the current interim reporting period.
During the reporting period, no issuances, repurchases, or repayments occurred involving either bonds or other equity securities.
During the reporting period, no dividend was distributed nor was such a distribution proposed.
No material events occurred after the end of the interim reporting period.
There are no contingent receivables. There were no substantial changes in contingent liabilities since the previous reporting date of December 31, 2013.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period (net of minority interests) by the average number of shares.
In order to calculate diluted earnings per share, the profit or loss for the period attributable to shareholders (net of minority interests) and the weighted average of outstanding shares are adjusted for the impact of all potential dilutive shares.
The following table shows the calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share:
| in €thousand | 9M/2014 | 9M/2013 |
|---|---|---|
| Profit / loss which accrue to shareholders of SUSS MicroTec AG | -899 | -10,466 |
| Weighted average number of outstanding shares | 19,115,538 | 19,115,538 |
| Effect of the (potential) exercise of stock options (number of options) | 0 | 0 |
| Adjusted weighted average number of outstanding shares | 19,115,538 | 19,115,538 |
| Earnings per share in €from continuing operations – basic – | -0.05 | -0.55 |
| Earnings per share in €from continuing operations – diluted – | -0.05 | -0.55 |
"To the best of our knowledge, we assure that in accordance with applicable accounting principles for interim reporting, the consolidated interim financial statements convey an accurate view of the net assets, financial position, and results of operations of the Group and that the Interim Management Report conveys an accurate view of the business performance, including the earnings and condition of the Company, and describes the essential opportunities and risks for the Group's future development in the remainder of the fiscal year."
