Foreword by the Management Board
Highlights Q1 2011
Operationally, the first quarter of the 2011 fiscal year was shaped by the relocation and integration of our Bonder activities at the Sternenfels site in Germany. The relocation has been completed, and our three product lines are now consolidated under one roof at the modern production facility in Sternenfels. As part of the consolidation, research and development activities will also be centralized, as was previously announced. Our aim from this move is to, among other things, generate momentum and synergies across our product lines.
There are many encouraging developments in the capital markets to report in the first quarter. After five years, SUSS MicroTec has returned to the TecDAX, the technology index of the Deutsche Boerse (German Stock Exchange). We in the Management Board are hoping that this will result in increased visibility for the share, particularly in international financial markets. For this reason, we will further intensify our investor relations activities domestically and internationally through targeted road shows and capital markets conferences.
Order entry of 1 48.3 million in the first three months (Q1 2010: 1 32.3 million; +50%) was once again very high. Sales in the first quarter increased as well by approximately 46% to 1 32.0 million (Q1 2010: 1 21.9 million). The development of sales in the months from January to March was influenced by the relocation and integration activities at the Sternenfels site. The order backlog as of March 31, 2011 rose by 73% compared with a year earlier to 1 130.5 million (March 31, 2010: 1 75.4 million).
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) improved significantly from 1 -0.1 million in Q1 2010 to 1 2.5 million in Q1 2011. Earnings after taxes (EAT) were positive and amounted to 1 2.4 million, compared with 1 -0.7 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Basic earnings per share (EPS) thus came to 1 0.13. Here, too, it was possible to achieve an improvement from the same quarter of the previous year (Q1 2010: 1 -0.04).
Cash flow from operating activities came in at 1 -1.0 million compared to 1 -1.4 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Free cash flow before consideration of securities and extraordinary effects from M&A activities as of the end of the quarter came to 1 -2.2 million, after 1 -1.3 million in the corresponding period of the previous year. As of March 31, 2011, the SUSS MicroTec Group therefore had cash and interest-bearing securities of 1 50.3 million (March 31, 2010: 1 22.8 million). The net cash position of 1 35.1 million was slightly higher than the 1 34.6 million recorded at the end of the 2010 fiscal year (March 31, 2010: 1 11.0 million).
We continue to assume that in the current fiscal year the company will achieve sales of over 1 170 million as well as an improved EBIT compared to the previous year and a positive free cash flow (before completed M&A transactions are taken into account). For the first half of the fiscal year 2011, we expect sales of more than 1 80 million.

In January 2011, SUSS MicroTec announced a strategic collaboration with the Cornell NanoScale Science & Technology Facility (CNF) at the North American Cornell University. As part of the cooperation, Cornell staff will perform research on already existing as well as new lithography systems from SUSS MicroTec, including innovative Mask Aligner toolkits and the Gamma-series Spray Coater. The facilities at CNF, which host over 700 users every year, will also serve as a laboratory for research applications and customer demonstrations. The lithography equipment to be installed at CNF includes two special toolkits for SUSS MicroTec's MA/BA6 Aligner. The first toolkit, Substrate Conformal Imprinting Lithography (SCIL), is a technology developed by SUSS MicroTec in conjunction with Philips Research. It provides a cost-effective means of manufacturing patterns of 10nm and less with highly exact reproducibility by using a full-size imprint stamp. The second toolkit, MO Exposure Optics, is a unique exposure technology developed and patented by SUSS MicroTec's subsidiary SUSS MicroOptics that significantly extends the performance range for standardized lithography processes. At CNF, the Gamma-series lithography cluster supports all resist-processing applications. It contains modules for developing, baking, and coating.
Texas Instruments conferred its 2010 Supplier Award to SUSS MicroTec in recognition of positive, constructive collaboration. Customer orientation, service, product quality and environmentally conscious conduct were recognized in particular. The award was presented on April 28, 2011 at the TI Philippines Suppliers' Day.
As of March 21, 2011, the shares of SUSSMicroTec AG are once again traded on the TecDAX, the technology index of the Deutsche Boerse (German Stock Exchange). The TecDAX includes the 30 largest technology companies following the Blue Chips from the DAX index, ranked by market capitalization and trading volume. In the period under review, SUSS MicroTec significantly improved in both categories and thus qualified for elevation to this important index. Membership in the TecDAX provides the SUSS MicroTec share with added attractiveness, and the share should once again receive significantly more interest, particularly among international investors.
On January 14, 2011, Close Brothers Seydler Bank AG, based in Frankfurt am Main, initiated coverage of the SUSS MicroTec share. The investment opinion of the analysts is "Buy" with a price target of 1 13.00. At the beginning of March 2011, Hauck Aufhäuser Institutional Research GmbH became the second bank to initiate coverage in the first quarter of 2011. The investment opinion is likewise "Buy," with a price target of 1 17.50.
As of March 21, 2011, the shares of SUSS MicroTec AG are once again listed in the leading technology index of the Deutsche Boerse (German Stock Exchange) – the TecDAX. Following the return to the TecDAX, a significant increase in daily trading volume was observed. In addition, SUSS MicroTec is hoping for heightened recognition in the capital markets, particularly among international investors. The Company is planning a stronger presence at international capital markets conferences and additional road shows in order to support this objective. 150
The SUSS MicroTec share ended the 2010 fiscal year on December 30, 2010 at a price of 1 9.14 and began the 2011 fiscal year on January 3, 2011 at a price of 1 9.44. The stock price rally, which began as early as fall 2010, proceeded with unabated speed in the first two months of the 2011 fiscal year, driven in part by positive preliminary company figures. At times, the SUSS MicroTec share was able to record price gains of up to 48% as compared with the beginning of the year. The TecDAX was up periodically nearly 8%, while the Prime IG Semiconductor index was able to achieve a 17% increase in February 2011. In March, the positive mood on the national and international exchanges
gave way to widespread general uncertainty. The natural disaster in Japan, with its still not completely foreseeable economic and ecological consequences, as well as the beginning of NATO's military engagement in Libya added to investor uncertainty. After at times severe price volatility, the financial markets settled down somewhat at the end of March and appeared to view the 2011 year for the stock market with somewhat greater confidence. Thus, the TecDAX closed the first quarter of the year with a gain of approximately 9%, while the Prime IG Semiconductor recorded an increase of almost 7%. After three volatile months, the SUSS MicroTec share ended the first quarter of 2011 at a price of 1 11.92, representing an increase of slightly more than 30% since the end of the year 2010.
The average daily trading volume of SUSS MicroTec shares on all German stock exchanges once again increased significantly in the first quarter of 2011 to approximately 325,000 shares (Q1 2010: average daily trading volume of about 85,000 shares).

The renewed strong order entry of 1 48.3 million in the first three months continued to indicate a high degree of readiness to invest on the part of our customers (Q1 2010: 1 32.3 million). In the first quarter, it was possible to increase sales by 46% to 1 32.0 million (Q1 2010: 1 21.9 million). The order backlog as of March 31, 2011 thus amounted to 1 130.5 million (March 31, 2010: 1 75.4 million), an increase of 73%.
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) improved significantly from 1 -0.1 million in Q1 2010 to 1 2.5 million in Q1 2011. Earnings after taxes (EAT) amounted to 1 2.4million, compared with 1 -0.7 million in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The basic earnings per share (EPS) therefore totaled 1 0.13 (Q1 2010: 1 -0.04).
Cash flow from operating activities was 1 -1.0 million in Q1 2011, after 1 -1.4 million in Q1 2010. Free cash flow before the inclusion of securities and extraordinary effects from M&A activities came to 1 -2.2 million as of the end of quarter, after 1 -1.3 million in the corresponding period of the previous year. As of March 31, 2011, the SUSS MicroTec Group therefore had cash and interest-bearing securities of 1 50.3 million (March 31, 2010: 1 22.8 million). The net cash position increased in comparison to the end of the 2010 fiscal year from 1 34.6 million to 1 35.1 million as of the end of the quarter (March 31, 2010: 1 11.0 million).
The distribution of orders by region offered the following picture: while the regions Europe, Japan, and Rest of Asia recorded significant increases in orders of 10%, 82%, and 105%, respectively, the region North America had to accept a decline of slightly more than 50%.
Regional sales demonstrated significant growth in all regions. While the region North America achieved an increase of more than 50%, Europe was even able to record growth of more than 110%. Japan grew by almost 70%, and the Rest of Asia region increased its sales by more than 20% from the same quarter of the previous year.
The Lithography division includes the development, manufacture, and sale of the Mask Aligner, Developer, and Coater product lines. These product lines are manufactured and produced in Germany at the locations in Garching near Munich and since the beginning of 2010 in Sternenfels.
In the first three months of the 2011 fiscal year, the Lithography division experienced another significant increase in order entry, with sales also rising over the previous year. Order entry of 1 37.5 million was 43% higher than its total of 1 26.2 million a year earlier. The reason for the positive trend was sustained investment readiness on the part of customers. Division sales in the first quarter of 2011 amounted to 1 25.2 million after 1 16.0 million in the previous year's quarter. The division earnings improved from 1 1.9 million to 1 6.6 million.
The Substrate Bonder division comprises the development, production and sale of the Substrate (Wafer) Bonder product line and, following the relocation of production activities, is now housed at the Sternenfels site in Germany. Production at the new site commenced as early as the fourth quarter of the 2010 fiscal year.
In the first quarter of the new fiscal year, the Substrate Bonder division recorded a 21% decline in order entry from the same quarter of the previous year. However, it was possible to increase sales slightly from the corresponding quarter of the previous year. While order entry fell to 1 3.7 million (Q1 2010: 1 4.7 million), sales rose by 49% from 1 2.4 million to 1 3.6 million. Division earnings improved during the quarter to 1 -1.9 million (Q1 2010: 1 -2.1 million).
The Photomask Equipment division includes the development, manufacture and sale of the HMx, ASx, and MaskTrack product lines of HamaTech APE GmbH & Co. KG, which was acquired on February 15, 2010. The development and production of specialized systems for the cleaning and processing of photomasks for the semiconductor industry are also conducted at the Sternenfels site.
The Photomask Equipment division recorded an order entry of 1 5.4 million in the first quarter of 2011 as well as division sales of 1 1.1 million (Q1 2010: 1 2.2 million). Although the division Photomask Equipment was only consolidated for one month in Q1 2010, the sales figure included the sale of one used tool. In the first quarter 2011 no tool of this division was sold, which explains the low sales figure. Division earnings in the first quarter were 1 -1.3 million (Q1 2010: 1 -0.5 million).
The Others division comprises the Mask business in Palo Alto, California (USA), that caters to the semiconductor industry and the Micro-optics activities at Neuchâtel, Switzerland as well as the C4NP business and costs for central Group functions that generally cannot be attributed to the main divisions.
While division sales of 1 2.0 million increased from the same quarter of the previous year (+54%), order entry also improved by 42% to 1 1.7 million (Q1 2010: 1 1.2 million). Division earnings of 1 -1.0 million fell short of the 1 0.7 million from the same quarter of the previous year. The previous years figure includes a gain from a negative goodwill of 1 1.4 million, purchased with the Hama Tech acquisition.

to the Interim Report of SUSS MicroTec AG as of March 31, 2011
The consolidated financial statements of SUSS MicroTec AG as of December 31, 2010 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. In the consolidated interim financial statements as of March 31, 2011, which were prepared on the basis of International Accounting Standards (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", the same accounting methods were applied as in the consolidated financial statements for the 2010 fiscal year.
All of the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) in effect as of March 31, 2011 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, 2010.
The Group auditor, KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, 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, 2010, there were no changes to the scope of consolidation.
SUSS MicroTec Group has various credit facilities with national and international banks and insurance companies. The credit line of 1 6 million provided by a bank consortium led by BayernLB remained in effect until March 31, 2011. With the credit agreement of March 30–31, 2011, new credit agreements were arranged with the same bank consortium. As a result of the new credit agreements, the credit line was increased to a total of 1 8 million. The credit line, whose term runs until March 31, 2012, was issued without covenants. Its primary purpose is to serve as backing for down payment guarantees.
The relocation of the Substrate Bonder division from Waterbury, Vermont (USA) to Germany was substantially completed in the first quarter of 2011. In the course of the restructuring, the research and development, production, and product management functions for the Bonder product lines were moved to the site in Sternenfels, Germany. The North American customer service and sales activities as well as the applications center were moved from Waterbury, VT, to Silicon Valley in California.
Restructuring expenses are expected to total approximately 1 5.9 million. As of December 31, 2010, expenses of 1 3.9 million had accrued. In the first quarter of 2011, additional restructuring expenses arose amounting to approximately 1 1.0 million. By the final closure of the Waterbury site, which should be completed by the end of June 2011, additional expenses of approximately 1 1.0 million are expected. As of March 31, 2011, provisions for restructuring came to 1 1.1 million.
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 paper 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.
Disclosed under this item in the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2010 are the 747,530 Cascade shares – with a fair value of 1 2.4 million as of December 31, 2010 – obtained through the sale of the Test Systems division. The Cascade shares were sold in the first quarter of 2011 for a total of approximately 1 3.3 million. The sale resulted in a disposal gain of 1 0.8 million, which was recognized in the financial result.
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.
The presentation of the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2011 is analogous to the presentation as of December 31, 2010. There were no changes in presentation.
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 for the fiscal year 2011 will be beween 30% and 35%. In the first quarter of the fiscal year 2011 the income tax rate was well below 30%, the reason for this was the tax free sale of Cascade Microtech Inc. shares.
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 equity securities.
During the reporting report, no dividend was distributed nor was such a distribution proposed.
With the agreement of April 1 /April 5, 2011, SUSS MicroTec AG and SUSS MicroTec Lithography GmbH concluded a general credit agreement with DZ BANK AG, which made available a credit line of 1 2 million. The credit line runs until March 31, 2012 and was issued without covenants. The credit line is not secured.
No additional 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, 2010.
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 1 thousand | Q1 / 2011 | Q1 / 2010 |
|---|---|---|
| Profit / loss from continuing operations | 2,442 | -710 |
| Less minority interests | -66 | -10 |
| Profit / loss from continuing operations attributable to shareholders of SUSS MicroTec AG | 2,376 | -720 |
| Weighted average number of outstanding shares | 18,721,038 | 17,019,126 |
| Effect of the (potential) exercise of stock options (number of options) | 590,300 | 0 |
| Adjusted weighted average number of outstanding shares | 19,311,338 | 17,019,126 |
| Earnings per share in 3 from continuing operations – basic – | 0.13 | -0.04 |
| Earnings per share in 3 from continuing operations – diluted – | 0.12 | -0.04 |
