Interim Report January-March 2025

First quarter

  • Order intake amounted to SEK 2,058 (1,645) million, an increase of 25 percent
  • Net sales increased 27 percent to SEK 2,142 (1,692) million. Based on constant exchange rates, net sales increased 26 percent
  • EBIT amounted to SEK 775 (599) million and the EBIT margin was 36 (35) percent
  • Earnings per share were SEK 6.36 (5.01) before dilution and SEK 6.35 (5.00) after dilution

"We started 2025 strongly, despite a turbulent macroeconomic environment. Order intake increased 25 percent during the first quarter, driven by Pattern Generators and High Volume. Net sales increased 27 percent to the new record level of SEK 2,142 million, driven mainly by Pattern Generators, but with High Volume and Global Technologies also supporting the growth. EBIT amounted to SEK 775 million, our strongest quarterly result ever, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 36 percent.

Mycronic is a global company, with customers and production sites in multiple geographies worldwide. Around 5 percent of Mycronic's net sales are impacted by the high tariffs between the US and China and around 5 to 10 percent of net sales are impacted by US base tariffs. Mycronic does not intend to bear the cost of the tariffs. We are furthermore indirectly affected by tariffs, though it is currently difficult to gain an overview of the cumulative future effects", says Anders Lindqvist, President and CEO.

Outlook 2025

Due to increased uncertainty related to the direct and, in particular, indirect impact of tariffs on macroeconomic environment, exchange rates and investment climate, it is the Board of Directors' revised opinion that net sales for 2025 will be at a level of SEK 7.0 to 7.5 billion.

CEO comments

We started 2025 strongly, despite a turbulent macroeconomic environment. Order intake increased 25 percent during the first quarter, driven by Pattern Generators and High Volume. Net sales increased 27 percent to the new record level

of SEK 2,142 million, driven mainly by Pattern Generators, but with High Volume and Global Technologies also supporting the growth. EBIT amounted to SEK 775 million, our strongest quarterly result ever, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 36 percent.

In Pattern Generators, the photomask markets for both displays and semiconductors were stable during the first quarter of the year. In January, Pattern Generators received the first order for a Prexision 8000 Evo, which was launched in April 2024 and is Mycronic's most advanced mask writer for displays. The order confirms that the launch was well in line with industry needs for more advanced photomasks.

Demand in Europe, High Flex's largest geographical market, was very weak in the first quarter of the year. During the quarter, the division took part in North America's largest electronics manufacturing fair, APEX, where there was great interest in High Flex's products, primarily the MYPro A40 pick-and-place platform and the MY700 jet printer. The new tariffs in the US have led to delays in deliveries and had a negative impact on net sales of around SEK 15 million during the quarter.

Demand in High Volume was strong in the Chinese domestic market. The division is establishing a facility in Thailand, where some production will take place for markets outside China. Operations in Thailand are expected to start in the third quarter.

During the quarter, Global Technologies acquired Hprobe, a company headquartered in Grenoble, France, which has developed a unique technology for high-speed magnetic testing of Magnetoresistive Random Access Memories

Order intake and net sales, rolling 12 months Gross and EBIT margin, rolling 12 months

(MRAMs) and magnetic sensors. Hprobe forms a new business line within the Global Technologies division, called Magnetic Test.

The Die Bonding business line noted a slowdown in order intake during the quarter. The market for the PCB Test business line continued to be strong and driven by investments related to the testing of PCBs used in advanced servers for AI applications, and investments in Southeast Asia. PCB Test moved its headquarters and production facility in Germany to newly built premises, which will enable increased production capacity and efficiency. Early in the year, the business line also successfully launched a new generation of back-drill tests, which are used to test advanced PCBs.

After the end of the period, Global Technologies acquired RoBAT, a company headquartered in the UK, which has developed a technology for rapid and reliable testing of signal quality on PCBs. RoBAT's net sales in 2024 amounted to GBP 3 million and the company will become part of the PCB Test business line.

In conclusion, I can note that we are living in turbulent times. Mycronic is a global company, with customers and production sites in multiple geographies worldwide. Around 5 percent of Mycronic's net sales are impacted by the high tariffs between the US and China and around 5 to 10 percent of net sales are impacted by US base tariffs. Mycronic does not intend to bear the cost of the tariffs. We are furthermore indirectly affected by tariffs, though it is currently difficult to gain an overview of the cumulative future effects.

Notes

NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This interim report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, along with applicable provisions in the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. For the Group and Parent Company, accounting policies, valuation policies and assumptions were applied in accordance with the latest annual report. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as for the Group, with the exception of IFRS 16 Leases. The segments and the Parent Company recognize lease payments as a cost on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The right-of-use asset and the lease liability are thus not reported in the balance sheet.

The nature of financial assets and liabilities is, in all material respects, the same as on December 31, 2024. The carrying amounts and fair values are deemed to essentially correspond with one another.

NOTE 2 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A description of related party transactions can be found in Note 8 in the annual report for 2024. The scope and nature of these transactions did not change significantly during the period.

NOTE 3 RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Group's business is exposed to a number of risks and uncertainties that are both operational and financial in nature, most of which are presented in the annual report for 2024. Mycronic is a global company with customers and production sites in multiple geographies worldwide and is therefore exposed to political decisions, such as tariffs and trade barriers.

NOTE 4 EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD

After the end of the period, Mycronic acquired RoBAT, a company headquartered in the UK, which has developed a technology for rapid and reliable testing of signal quality on PCBs. RoBAT's net sales in 2024 amounted to GBP 3 million and the company will become part of the PCB Test business line within the Global Technologies division.

The business climate has become more uncertain related to the direct and, in particular, indirect impact of tariffs on macroeconomic environment, exchange rates and investment climate.

NOTE 8 BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Acquisition of Hprobe SA

On March 13, 2025, Mycronic acquired 100 percent of the shares in Hprobe SA, a company headquartered in Grenoble, France. The company is a leader in the emerging niche market of MRAM (Magnetoresistive Random Access Memory) testing and manufactures equipment for high-speed magnetic testing of MRAMs and magnetic sensors. Hprobe, founded in 2017, has 14 employees and net sales amounted to EUR 4 million in 2024. Hprobe forms a new business line within the Global Technologies division, called Magnetic Test. The purchase consideration amounts to EUR 16 million, corresponding to SEK 177 million, on a cash and debt-free basis.

Work to assign values to acquired assets and liabilities is ongoing and the purchase price allocation is therefore still preliminary as of March 31, 2025. In the preliminary purchase price allocation, intangible assets in technology, customer relationships, brand and goodwill were identified. Goodwill amounts to SEK 124 million and is primarily attributable to the company's leading position as a supplier of equipment for high-speed magnetic testing of MRAMs and magnetic sensors, as well as the collective expertise of its employees. The company was consolidated in the Mycronic Group as of March 13, 2025. The impact of Hprobe's operations on consolidated net sales and EBIT is not significant.
