This report contains statements about management's future expectations, plans and prospects of our business that constitute forward-looking statements, which are found in various places throughout this report, including, but not limited to, statements relating to expectations of orders, net sales, product shipments, expenses, timing of purchases of assembly equipment by customers, gross margins, operating results and capital expenditures. The use of words such as "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "can", "intend", "believes", "may", "plan", "predict", "project", "forecast", "will", "would", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements, although not all forward looking statements contain these identifying words. The financial guidance set forth under the heading Performance and Outlook in the Report of the Board of Management contains such forward looking statements. While these forward looking statements represent our judgments and expectations concerning the development of our business, a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors could cause actual developments and results to differ materially from those contained in forward looking statements, including any inability to maintain continued demand for our products; failure of anticipated orders to materialize or postponement or cancellation of orders, generally without charges; the volatility in the demand for semiconductors and our products and services; the extent and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken to contain the outbreak, and the associated adverse impacts on the global economy, financial markets, global supply chains and our operations as well as those of our customers and suppliers; failure to develop new and enhanced products and introduce them at competitive price levels; failure to adequately decrease costs and expenses as revenues decline; loss of significant customers, including through industry consolidation or the emergence of industry alliances; lengthening of the sales cycle; acts of terrorism and violence; disruption or failure of our information technology systems; consolidation activity and industry alliances in the semiconductor industry that may result in further increased customer concentration, inability to forecast demand and inventory levels for our products; the integrity of product pricing and protection of our intellectual property in foreign jurisdictions; risks, such as changes in trade regulations, conflict minerals regulations, currency fluctuations, political instability and war, associated with substantial foreign customers, suppliers and foreign manufacturing operations, particularly to the extent occurring in the Asia Pacific region where we have a substantial portion of our production facilities; our ability to mitigate the dislocations caused by the flood at one of our Malaysian production facilities, potential instability in foreign capital markets; the risk of failure to successfully manage our diverse operations; any inability to attract and retain skilled personnel, including as a result of restrictions on immigration, travel or the availability of visas for skilled technology workers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; those additional risk factors set forth in Besi's annual report for the year ended December 31, 2021 and other key factors that could adversely affect our businesses and financial performance contained in our filings and reports, including our statutory consolidated statements. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or alter our forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
This report contains the semi-annual financial report of BE Semiconductor Industries N.V. ("Besi" or "the Company"), a Company which was incorporated in the Netherlands in May 1995 as the holding company for a worldwide business engaged in one line of business, the development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and service of semiconductor assembly equipment for the global semiconductor and electronics industries. We are a global company with headquarters at Ratio 6, 6921 RW Duiven, the Netherlands. We operate seven facilities in Asia and Europe for production and development activities as well as eight sales and service offices across Europe, Asia and North America.
The interim financial report for the six months ended June 30, 2022 consists of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the report of the Board of Management and responsibility statement by the Company's Board of Management. The information in this Interim Financial Report is unaudited.
The Board of Management of the Company hereby declares that to the best of their knowledge, the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of the Company and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole, and the Report of the Board of Management gives a fair review of the information required pursuant to section 5:25d(8)/(9) of the Dutch Financial Markets Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht).
Besi reported solid first half year results with revenue and net income of € 416.4 million and € 143.2 million increasing by 12.8% and 9.2%, respectively, versus H1-21. Revenue development this first half year was influenced by a number of important market trends. On the positive side, it reflected ongoing strength for Besi's computing and automotive end-user markets continuing favorable trends from H2-21. Such strength was partially offset by reduced demand for high-end smartphones following a large capacity build in 2021. It also reflected a 31.4% decrease in revenue from Chinese customers primarily associated with reduced shipments to subcontractors for mobile handsets and mainstream electronics applications due to overcapacity and Covid-19 related lockdowns. Net income growth in H1-22 benefitted from higher revenue levels, stable gross margins of 60.5% and cost control efforts which enabled us to keep operating expense margins relatively flat despite funding a 46.8% increase in R&D spending associated with new wafer level product development.
Our liquidity position continued to improve at June 30, 2022 with net cash of € 284.0 million and total cash and deposits of € 601.6 million increasing 37.4% and 17.6%, respectively, versus June 30, 2021. Such increases occurred despite the distribution of € 305.7 million to shareholders in H1-22 in the form of dividends and share repurchases. Given continued strong cash flow generation and current market conditions, we intend to complete the current € 185 million share repurchase program by July 31, 2022. Beginning August 1, 2022, we intend to initiate a new € 300 million program representing approximately 7.5% of current shares outstanding with a completion date of October 2023. Repurchases under this new program will help reduce dilution related to Besi's Convertible Notes outstanding and issuances under employee stock plans.
Orders of € 357.9 million in H1-22 decreased by 32.1% versus H1-21 as industry conditions weakened, global GDP growth rates decelerated and customer caution increased. In particular, the decrease reflected lower orders for high-end smartphones post new product introductions in 2021 and decreased demand from Chinese subcontractors. partially offset by continued strength in demand for automotive end-user markets. Of note, we received three orders for Besi's new embedded bridge die attach system in H1-22 reflecting progress in the build out of our wafer level assembly portfolio. In addition, Besi's backlog of € 275 million at June 30, 2022 remained at higher than typical levels reflecting ongoing supply chain issues, selective pre ordering by customers and, to a lesser extent, pushouts by some Asian subcontractors given changing market conditions.
Whether current market softness is a temporary pause or more prolonged in duration is difficult to tell at present given the many conflicting economic, geopolitical and industry cross currents. For Q3-22, we estimate that revenue will decrease by 20-30% versus Q2-22 reflecting current market conditions and seasonal trends. However, Besi's gross margin is expected to remain in the 60-62% range due to the flexibility of our production model and timely operational actions taken. In this regard, we reduced temporary production headcount approximately 16% in the latter half of the quarter to better align production with order trends. Further, operating expenses are anticipated to decrease by 10-15% versus Q2-22 principally related to lower revenue levels.
We are accelerating investment in Besi's future, particularly for our hybrid bonding and wafer level assembly portfolio as the long-term drivers of our business remain intact and sub 10 nanometer device innovation continues apace. As such, we are deploying greater resources to meet hybrid bonding goals, introducing new wafer level assembly systems, adding development and support personnel and taking occupancy of a new 125,000 square foot leased facility in Malaysia in Q3-22 which should lessen capacity constraints for our most advanced systems.
The impact of the pandemic on the Company's business was significant as it caused material disruptions to global supply chains and component inventory levels and extended delivery lead times. Due to the flexible Asian supply chain, labor force and assembly capacity, Besi was able to shift production and final assembly sufficiently among the Malaysian, Chinese and Singapore facilities to satisfy a large portion of customer requirements. Production output also benefited from Besi's dual source supplier strategy and advance purchases of components deemed critical to the operations. The ongoing pandemic has presented challenges unlike any the Company has encountered previously and underscored the importance of building a resilient, flexible and sustainable organization.
In our Annual Report 2021, we have extensively described certain risk categories and risk factors, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results. The Company believes that the risks identified for the first half of 2022 are in line with the risks that Besi presented in its Annual Report 2021.
Demand for semiconductor devices and expenditures for the equipment required to assemble semiconductors is highly cyclical, depending in large part on levels of demand worldwide for smart phones, tablets and other personal productivity devices, computing and peripheral equipment and automotive and industrial components, as well as the production capacity of global semiconductor manufacturers. Furthermore, a rise or fall in the level of sales of semiconductor equipment typically lags any downturn or recovery in the semiconductor market by approximately three to six months due to the lead times associated with the production of semiconductor equipment.
Based on its June 30, 2022 order backlog and feedback from customers, Besi forecasts for Q3-22 that:

BE Semiconductor Industries N.V. ("Besi" or "the Company") was incorporated in the Netherlands in May 1995 as the holding company for a worldwide business engaged in one line of business, the development, production, marketing and sales of back-end equipment for the semiconductor industry. Besi's principal operations are in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria and Asia. Besi's principal executive office is located at Ratio 6, 6921 RW, Duiven, the Netherlands. Statutory seat of the Company is Amsterdam, number at Chamber of Commerce is 09092395.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The Condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Besi's annual consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2021.
The Condensed interim consolidated financial statements are stated in thousands of euros unless indicated otherwise.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Annual Report 2021. In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made some judgements that have significant effect on the amounts recognized in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are considered consistent with those described in the Annual Report 2021.
The Company is engaged in one line of business, the development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and service of semiconductor assembly equipment for the global semiconductor and electronics industries. The Company identifies three operating segments (Product Groups). These Product Groups are Die Attach, Packaging and Plating. The chief operating decision maker reviews each Product Group in detail and all operational functions are allocated to these Product Groups: 1) Product Marketing, 2) Research and Development, 3) Product Group management, 4) Customer Project management and 5) Operations. Corporate functions (Finance, Legal, Human Resources and Sales & Service) do not qualify as operating segments. Hence, Besi identifies three operating segments which meet the IFRS 8 criteria.
IFRS 8 allows for operating segments to be aggregated into reportable segments if the operating segments share similar economic characteristics. The Company deems the three operating segments to meet the aggregation criteria, as the nature of the products and services, production processes, classes of customer and methods used to distribute the products and provide services and gross margins are similar. Hence the three Product Groups are aggregated into a single reporting segment; the development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and service of assembly equipment for the semiconductor's back-end segment.
On April 29, 2022, the Company announced a dividend payment of € 3.33 per ordinary share. The dividend was payable fully in cash. The Company paid an amount of € 269.5 million to shareholders in May 2022.
On July 26, 2018, Besi announced a € 75 million share repurchase program through October 26, 2019 (the "2018 program"). The 2018 program was initiated for capital reduction purposes and to help offset dilution associated with Besi's Convertible Notes and share issuance under employee stock plans. The program has been extended three times, the most recent of which was on July 26, 2021, when it was extended until October 30, 2022. and its principal amount was increased to € 185 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Besi repurchased 591,076 of its ordinary shares at an average price of € 61.25 per share for a total of € 36.3 million. Cumulatively, as of June 30, 2022, a total of 4.8 million shares have been purchased under the 2018 program at an average price of € 35.38 per share for a total of € 171.0 million.
At present, Besi has shareholder authorization to purchase up to an aggregate of 10% of its ordinary shares outstanding (approximately 8.1 million shares) until October 30, 2022.
In April 2022, the Company issued € 175 million principal amount of Convertible Notes with a maturity date of April 6, 2029 (the "2022 Convertible Notes"). The 2022 Convertible Notes carry a nominal interest rate of 1.875% per year, payable semi-annually. Bondholders can convert the bonds into ordinary shares at a conversion price of € 115.50 (subject to adjustments). The 2022 Convertible Notes will be repaid at maturity at a price of 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. If not converted, at any time from April 27, 2026, the Company may redeem the outstanding 2022 Convertible Notes at their principal amount, subject to giving a minimum of 30 days' and maximum of 60 days' prior notice to Bondholders, if the value of the shares underlying the 2022 Convertible Notes equals or exceeds 130% of the then effective conversion price for at least 20 out of 30 consecutive dealing days. The 2022 Convertible Notes may be redeemed at the option of the holder (i) on April 6, 2027 at their principal amount plus accrued interest and (ii) in the event of a change of control, at the principal amount plus accrued interest.
The amount of the 2022 Convertible Notes classified as equity of € 26,859 is net of attributable debt issuance cost of € 441.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, € 139.9 million principal amount of the 2017 Convertible Bonds were converted into 2,907,231 ordinary shares at request of the Bondholders. 328,335 shares were issued from treasury shares and 2,578,896 new shares were issued. The carrying value of the liability at conversion amounted to € 133.3 million and was reclassified to equity and no gain or loss was recognized on conversion. As a result, the principal amount outstanding of the 2017 Convertible Notes declined from € 172.4 million at December 31, 2021 to € 32.5 million at June 30, 2022.
