Dear shareholders and business partners, Dear employees,
With sales of €28.7 million and earnings growth of 36% compared with the second quarter of 2013, First Sensor AG enjoyed an excellent third quarter of the current financial year. This is not least due to the success of the initiatives launched by the Management Board in the areas of "Procurement" and "Pricing", as well as various cost reduction measures. In addition, third-party products were substituted with in-house products in trading business as planned, thereby allowing higher margins to be generated. The continuous optimization and intelligent development of all corporate divisions has proven to be an important factor in First Sensor AG's success. The Management Board of First Sensor AG will continue to give this a particularly high priority. We would like to take this opportunity to expressly thank our employees for their commitment to the implementation of the various measures aimed at improving earnings.
According to a study by INTECHNO CONSULTING, the global sensor technology market is growing by 9% every year. Our aim is to harness this development to achieve organic growth and generate strong earnings with sought-after products. It is important that we set the course for this in the fourth quarter.
Despite the economic pressure that is continuing to affect a number of European countries, our domestic market of Germany, and hence Europe as a whole, remain attractive for First Sensor AG. We also see the USA and Asia as offering extremely good opportunities for our high-quality, technically advanced products, systems and services.
As announced, our new CEO, Dr. Martin U. Schefter, has used his first months in the position to gain a comprehensive overview of the individual companies and their structures and operating principles. This analysis confirmed that First Sensor AG occupies relevant niches and can boast particular strengths. First Sensor can tailor its products precisely to its customers' requirements and manufacture them with a high level of quality.
Its expertise and range extend from chips and modules to entire systems. However, it also became clear that the company needs to adopt an even more pronounced market focus in its thoughts and actions – while retaining its high level of quality and innovative strength.
The Management Board of First Sensor AG is currently drawing the conclusions from the analysis, revising the strategic approach and defining the necessary content-related and organizational conditions together with senior managers and experts. A stronger focus on the globally attractive Medical, Industrial and Mobility sectors will play an important role, as will concrete measures to specifically tailor the company to the requirements of customers and markets. The high level of production expertise also offers growth potential, as this is also interesting as a service for other companies in the industry. In 2014, the Management Board will establish the conditions for leading the competition in these areas both nationally and internationally, generating further organic growth and hence recording strong earnings on a sustainable basis.

First Sensor is a developer and manufacturer of customer-specific high-end sensor solutions. These innovative specialized sensor solutions are used for the high-quality conversion of non-electric variables (radiation, light, pressure, flow rate, position, speed, temperature, moisture, etc.) into electric variables that are then used in our customers' electronic systems. This means that our sensor solutions make an important contribution to the competitiveness of our customers' products. Our core competencies include solutions in the area of optoelectronics and MEMS sensor technology.
Customers include prominent industrial groups and research institutes. A project generally starts with the customer issuing the specifications and the joint preparation of a development strategy. Following an extensive development and test phase, a supply relationship is initiated that generally lasts for a number of years.
First Sensor's sensor solutions are mostly used as key components in a wide range of applications in several different industries. These include electronic folding rules, tank pressure and sun angle sensors for motor vehicles, fill level measurements in the food industry, air conditioning systems, blood glucose monitors, X-ray machines for baggage screening, machine controls, aerospace research, cancer diagnosis, truck toll monitoring, and measurement systems for the pharmaceutical and environmental technology industries. The broad mix of sectors means that First Sensor is generally independent of cyclical developments in the individual sectors. The market for high-end sensor solutions that we address remains a strong global growth market.
First Sensor is one of the world's technology leaders, developing and producing optoelectronic and MEMS-based high-end sensor solutions for the most stringent specifications. Among other things, this includes the avalanche photodiodes (APD) and
avalanche photodiode arrays developed and manufactured by First Sensor in the past, which enjoy a leading global position in their field. One use for these APDs is in high-precision distance measurement systems for a wide range of applications together with laser modules.
First Sensor is active in a future market. The number of measurements required in each area of application is also increasing. This means it is important to fit more and more sensors into the smallest possible space. To achieve this, the sensors must become smaller. The market is also demanding robust solutions that are as affordable as possible. First Sensor's broad technological expertise and experience allows it to develop solutions on the basis of technologies other than those that were previously standard. With the new LDE pressure sensor and the new T-bridge, for example, two innovative products that address precisely this demand have just reached market maturity.
First Sensor develops and produces sensor solutions across the individual stages of the value chain of sensor to the system of our customers. The individual companies of First Sensor are active along the entire value chain. In addition to sensor components, First Sensor develops and manufactures highly reliable customer-specific hybrid circuits and products in the areas of microsystems technology and advanced packaging (sensor modules) right through to complete sensor systems. The different locations in Berlin, Dresden, Oberdischingen, Munich, and the foreign locations in the Netherlands, the UK, Sweden, Singapore, Canada and the US vary in terms of their position along the value chain (including distribution). Several Group companies are often involved in processing a customer order.
Sensor components are developed and manufactured at the headquarters in Berlin. If the sensor component is later connected to a circuit together with other electronic components and switching circuits (layout
and connection technology, hybrid technology, microsystems technology), this creates a sensor module. These process steps take place at five locations within First Sensor: Berlin, Dresden, Oberdischingen, Westlake Village and Singapore. If the sensor module is supplemented with additional stages of the value chain such as signal processing, calibration and product design, this creates a sensor system. This stage of the value chain is implemented at four locations in Berlin, Dresden, Dwingeloo and Munich.
With this positioning and interaction of the individual locations, First Sensor covers the entire value chain for a specialized sensor solution and is therefore able both to offer its customers "everything from one source" and also to take on individual steps of the value chain. The specific customer requirements in each case stipulate the stage of the value chain at which our services are called upon.
Depending on cost effectiveness, some types of components and services are also purchased externally.
First Sensor AG recorded sales of €28.7 million in the third quarter of the current financial year, up 4.8% on the second quarter. Following initial difficulties in the first quarter of 2013, various projects are now running as forecast. In the first three quarters of 2013, the company recorded consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of €3.9 million, the best quarterly result in its history. Q3 EBITDA was 36.4% higher than the previous quarter and 19.1% higher than the same period of the previous year.
In the first nine months of 2013, First Sensor AG succeeded in substituting low-margin trading business with higher-margin sales using in-house products as planned. In the period under review, the company generated consolidated sales of €82.1 million, down slightly on the same period of the previous year (September 30, 2012: €84.9 million). The main reason for this moderate downturn is deferred sales, which occurred in the first quarter of 2013 in particular and which were not fully offset by the end of the third quarter. The gross profit margin improved by 1.5 percentage points thanks to the successful substitution with in-house products.
As a result of the cost reduction measures, other operating expenses have fallen by €1.6 million to €9.8 million in the current financial year (September 30, 2012: €11.4 million). This meant that, despite the slight downturn in sales, EBITDA remained essentially unchanged year-on-year at €10.1 million (September 30, 2012: €10.2 million). This corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 12.2%.
All in all, First Sensor recorded a net profit for the first nine months (adjusted for integration costs, PPA amortization and the non-recurring effect from the sale of the minority interest in Heimann Sensor GmbH) at the prior-year level of €4.2 million.
Incoming orders amounted to €97.6 million in the first nine months of the financial year, up €15.5 million or 15.8% on the same period of the previous year. This represents a book-to-bill ratio of 1.2.
Research and development expenses increased by 9% in the first nine months of 2013, from €5.4 million to €5.9 million.
The First Sensor Group had a total of 696 employees (FTEs) at the reporting date (September 30, 2012: 696 employees).
In the period under review, staff costs increased slightly year-on-year by 1% to €26.7 million (September 30, 2012: €26.5 million).
The figure for the first nine months of the current financial year includes non-recurring effects of around €0.8 million. Adjusted for these nonrecurring effects, staff costs fell by 2% year-on-year.
In an encouraging development, the cash flow from operating activities amounted to €10.4 million after the first nine months of 2013, €6.0 million higher than as of September 30, 2012, despite the slight downturn in sales. The systematic reduction in working capital of €7.0 million was a key factor in the increased cash flow compared with the same period of the previous year.
First Sensor saw a considerable reluctance to invest. This was reflected in the cash flow from investment activities, with expenditure on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets declining by €5.5 million year-on-year.
Repayments of loans (excluding working capital loans) in the amount of €10.2 million were offset by new borrowings of €5.7 million, of which €4.8 million related to the payment of the final contractually agreed purchase price component for the acquisition of the Sensortechnics Group. In the third quarter, an unscheduled repayment on the acquisition loan of €3.5 million was made from current liquidity. This resulted in a cash flow from financing activities after minority interests of €-4.4 million (September 30, 2012: €5.6 million).
The good third quarter allows the confirmation of the Executive Board's revised planning for 2013 as a whole (see ad hoc disclosure of August 19, 2013).
First Sensor AG has taken measures aimed in particular at safeguarding liquidity and increasing profitability. Financial stability is particularly important for our customers when it comes to choosing their service provider, as development and production processes extend over a number of years.
As an innovative, globally operating manufacturer of specialized sensors, the company will continue to utilize and implement the opportunities available as
Financial liabilities assumed primarily to finance the acquisition of the Sensortechnics Group amounted to €45.3 million as of September 30, 2013, down €5.9 million on the previous year (December 31, 2012: €51.2 million).
The carrying amount of non-current assets declined by €4.4 million to €95.0 million as a result of restrained investment activity. Accounts receivable decreased by €5.6 million year-on-year to €7.2 million as a result of the sales development and short-term conversion into cash and cash equivalents (December 31, 2012: €12.8 million). At €30.3 million, inventories remained largely unchanged as against December 31, 2012 (€31.2 million).
At €8.5 million, accounts payable were €0.8 million higher than in the previous year (December 31, 2012: €7.7 million).
First Sensor reported equity of €71.2 million in the period under review (December 31, 2012: €69.8 million). The equity ratio increased from 44.0% at December 31, 2012 to 48.3% at September 30, 2013.
Orders on hand saw encouraging growth of 3% as against December 31, 2012, from €73.4 million to €75.7 million.

First Sensor AG, Berlin, is a listed stock corporation domiciled in Berlin.
First Sensor AG, Berlin, ("the company" or "First Sensor") and its subsidiaries operate in the sensor production and microsystems technology industries. The company's business mainly focuses on the development, manufacture and distribution of customer-specific optical and MEMS-based semiconductor sensors and systems. In addition, the First Sensor Group develops and manufactures highly reliable customer-specific hybrid circuits and products in the areas of microsystems technology and advanced packaging.
In the period under review, the accounting policies described in the consolidated financial report for 2012 were expanded to include the accounting standards endorsed by the EU and required to be applied from January 1, 2013. The changes primarily relate to IAS 1 "Presentation of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income". According to the revised standard, the items of other comprehensive income must be presented separately, broken down into items that are not subsequently reclassified to the income statement and items that can be subsequently reclassified to the income statement. In addition, the corresponding tax effects must be allocated to these two groups. The company has adjusted the presentation of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the consolidated interim financial report to reflect the revised standard. The other changes to IAS 1 did not affect the presentation of the company's net assets, financial position and results of operations.
The requirements of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) were also applied.
As a long-term instrument to encourage long-term commitment to the company, the employment contract of the Management Board member Dr. Martin U. Schefter contains an option agreement broken down into two tranches under which Dr. Schefter is entitled to acquire shares from authorized capital at a reduced price under certain conditions. The Annual General Meeting on August 20, 2013 resolved on the corresponding authorized capital. The option agreements resulted in an expense for the company of €99 thousand in the third quarter of 2013.
All of the information in this consolidated interim financial report is unaudited. This means the information has been subject neither to any audit nor to any review by an independent auditor.
The reporting currency is the euro (€); unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are presented in thousands of euro (€ thousand).
The basis of consolidation is unchanged compared to the previous year.
With an agreement dated April 17, 2013, Elbau Elektronik Bauelemente GmbH Berlin, Berlin, were merged with First Sensor AG with effect from January 1, 2013.
The merger has no significant effects on the consolidated interim financial report as of June 30, 2013.
There were no material events after the balance sheet date.
Under the terms of the option agreement contained in his employment contract, on October 30, 2013 the Management Board member Dr. Martin U. Schefter utilized the first tranche of this agreement to acquire 31,000 new shares of First Sensor AG with shareholders' pre-emptive subscription rights disapplied at a subscription price of €5.00 per share. This transaction increased the share capital of the company from €49,701,365 to €49,856,365. The issue of the 31,000 new no-par value shares partially utilized the authorized capital resolved by the Annual General Meeting on August 20, 2013 (Authorized Capital 2013/I).
