BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

Q3 Order Recovery / Full Year Guidance firmed up

As expected, we saw a slight recovery of orders during the third quarter of 2019 compared to the previous quarter. Revenues were affected by longer than expected processes to grant export licenses and were therefore below the revenue levels of the previous quarters. For the fourth quarter of 2019, an increase of orders and revenues is expected.

Order intake in the third quarter of EUR 52.2m was above the order intake of the previous quarter (Q2/2019: EUR 44.7m. The total equipment order backlog as of Sep. 30, 2019 amounted to EUR 108.4m (Sep. 30, 2018: 151.9m). The market developments of an increasing use of lasers for optical data transmission and 3D sensor technology, a progressive expansion of the 5G network and an increasing use of energy-efficient power electronics remain positive and are reflected in ongoing customer discussions.

Influenced by the previously mentioned timing effect on deliveries, Revenues in Q3/2019 were EUR 52.6m (Q2/2019: EUR 63.3m). Based on the 2019 full year revenue guidance, revenues in Q4/2019 are expected to be higher. Gross profit in Q3/2019 was EUR 22.1m with a gross margin of 42% (Q2/2019: EUR 25.9m; 41%).

Operating expenses in Q3/2019 of EUR 16.6m remained stable compared to the previous quarter (EUR 16.6m), resulting in an operating profit (EBIT) of EUR 5.5m with an EBIT margin of 10% (Q2/2019: EUR 9.3m; 15%) reflecting the revenue levels. Net income amounted to EUR 4.4m (Q2/2019: EUR 7.3m). Free cash flow in Q3/2019 was EUR 2.3m (Q2/2019: EUR 12.6m).

Based on customer agreed delivery schedules and ongoing customer discussions, the Executive Board firms up its guidance for the full year 2019 with revenues of around EUR 260 million (previously EUR 260 million to EUR 290 million) and order intake of around EUR 220 million (previously EUR 220 million to EUR 260 million). This forecast takes the longer than expected review processes for the granting of export licenses and the expectation of receiving a follow up OLED order no longer in the financial year 2019 into account. With a gross margin of around 40%, EBIT is expected to be around 13% of revenues and free cash flow for the full year to be around EUR 15 million (previously EUR 15 million to EUR 25 million).

Operation of the Gen 2 OLED system at the customer's site

Our Gen2 OLED system is being operated in a pilot production line at our customer's plant jointly by engineers from our customer and our subsidiary APEVA. Currently, the engineers are working intensively on the optimization of the tool and the process parameters for OLED manufacturing with the OVPD technology. This is intended to confirm the efficiency of the OVPD technology in the coming months and create the data required for the customer's decision to place a follow-up order for a further OVPD tool.

INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT

Business Activity and Strategy

A detailed overview of the business activities and strategy of the AIXTRON Group AIXTRON ("the AIXTRON Group" or "the Company") can be found in the Annual Report 2018. There were no changes in the first nine months of 2019. The Report is publicly available for download on the Company's website at http://www.aixtron.com/en/investors/publications.

Development of Orders

Total order intake incl. spares & services	150.6	230.3	-79.7	-35
Equipment order backlog (end of period)	108.4	151.9	-43.5	-29

As a result of the reluctance of customers to invest in capacity expansion, 9M/2019 order intake was down by 35% to EUR 150.6m (9M/2018: EUR 230.3m) in a year-on-year comparison. In Q3/2019, order intake of EUR 52.2m was 17% ahead of the previous quarter (Q2/2019: EUR 44.7m).

Exchange Rate Development of the US Dollar

The average exchange rate used by AIXTRON to translate income and expenses denominated in US dollars in the first nine months of 2019 was 1.13 USD/EUR (Q1/2019: 1.14 USD/EUR; Q2/2019: 1.12 USD/EUR; Q3/2019: 1.12 USD/EUR), which compares to 1.20 USD/EUR in 9M/2018. Thus, compared to the same period of the previous year, the average US dollar strengthened by 6% in 9M/2019, increasing the Euro value of US dollar denominated revenues in this period.

Development of Revenues

Total revenues for the first nine months of 2019 amounted to EUR 184.6m and were EUR 3.7m higher compared to the same period last year (9M/2018: EUR 180.9m). This development is attributable to timing effects of shipments in particular during Q3/2019. Revenues in Q3/2019 of EUR 52.6m were below the revenues of the previous quarters partially due to longer than expected review processes for the granting of export licenses (Q2/2019: EUR 63.3m; Q3/2018: EUR 63.4m).

Equipment revenues in 9M/2019 were EUR 148.1m, representing 80% of the total 9M/2019 revenues, compared to EUR 145.4m in 9M/2018 (Q3/2019: EUR 41.6m or 79%; Q3/2018: EUR 52.5m or 83%; Q2/2019: EUR 50.3m or 79%).

The remaining revenues were generated from the sale of spare parts and services.

Development of Results

Cost Structure

Gross profit in Q3/2019 was EUR 22.1m with a 42% margin (Q3/2018: EUR 27.6m, 44%; Q2/2019: EUR 25.9m, 41%). In 9M/2019, gross profit was EUR 74.7m or 40% of revenues compared to EUR 78.2m or 43% of revenues in 9M/2018. This was mainly due to a more favorable product mix in the previous year. A favorable USD/EUR exchange rate had positive effects on dollar denominated revenues during Q3/2019.

Operating costs decreased by 13% year-on-year to EUR 50.2m in 9M/2019, which is attributable mainly to higher other operating income driven to a large degree by higher R&D grants received. In a quarterly sequential comparison, operating costs remained stable at EUR 16.6m due to higher R&D expenses offset by higher R&D grants received (Q2/2019: EUR 16.6m; Q3/2018: EUR 18.9m).

Research and development costs (including the development activities in the area of OLED and power) in 9M/2019 were stable year-on-year. Sequentially, R&D costs increased by 18% to EUR 14.7m (Q2/2019: EUR 12.5m) mainly due to our ongoing development activities in the above mentioned areas.

Net other operating income and expenses in the first nine months of 2019 resulted in an income of EUR 9.4m (Q3/2019: EUR 4.7m; Q3/2018: EUR 0.9m income; Q2/2019: EUR 2.7m income). Such income is mainly attributable to R&D grants and exchange rate gains.

The 9M/2019 operating result (EBIT) increased from previous year's figure of EUR 20.7m to EUR 24.5m. This year-on-year development was mainly attributable to the above-mentioned business and cost development. Compared to the previous quarter, the operating result in Q3/2019 decreased to EUR 5.5m (Q2/2019: EUR 9.3m) mainly due lower revenue volumes.

The Company's net result amounted to EUR 20.2m in 9M/2019 (9M/2018: EUR 27.7m). In 9M/2018, the net result benefited from a EUR 9.0m credit as a result of a recognition of deferred tax assets. In Q3/2019, the net result amounted to EUR 4.4m (Q3/2018: EUR 11.7m; Q2/2019: EUR 7.3m).

Financial Position and Net Assets

The Company did not have any bank borrowings as of September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

Total equity as of September 30, 2019 increased to EUR 451.0m compared to EUR 429.6m as of December 31, 2018 mainly due to the period's net profit. The equity ratio was 84% as of September 30, 2019 (80% as of December 31, 2018).

Cash and cash equivalents (including cash deposits with a maturity of more than three months) decreased to EUR 260.6m as of September 30, 2019 compared to EUR 263.7m as of December 31, 2018. Compared to June 30, 2019, cash and cash equivalents increased from EUR 258.9 million despite the increase in inventories.

Property, plant and equipment was EUR 64.8m as of September 30, 2019 (EUR 63.1m as of December 31, 2018). This figure includes EUR 3.9m from the capitalization of leased assets in accordance with IFRS 16.

Goodwill was EUR 72.2m as per September 30, 2019 compared to EUR 71.6m as per December 31, 2018. There were no impairments in the first nine months of 2019. The difference is attributable to exchange rate fluctuations.

Inventories, including raw materials, unfinished and finished goods, increased to EUR 87.9m as of September 30, 2019 from EUR 73.5m as of December 31, 2018, which mainly reflects the construction of prototypes, the procurement of items that could be affected by BREXIT and, in particular, the longer than expected processes to grant export licenses.

Trade receivables amounted to EUR 33.2m as of September 30, 2019, compared to EUR 40.1m as of December 31, 2018, which corresponds to a DSO of 44 days (December 31, 2018: 36 days). This mainly reflects the changed business volume.

Contract liabilities for advance payments amounted to EUR 44.4m as of September 30, 2019 compared to EUR 53.3m as of December 31, 2018 reflecting the current order situation.

Cash Flow

The free cash flow in 9M/2019 amounted to EUR -2.7m (9M/2018: EUR -1.4m). The negative free cash flow in 9M/2019 was mainly due to the increased working capital, including investment in beta tools, as well as the growth of inventories and reflects the current order situation. Free cash flow in Q3/2019 was EUR 2.3m and, thus, positive as in the previous quarter (Q2/2019: EUR 12.6m).

Opportunities and Risks

During the first nine months of 2019, AIXTRON Management was not aware of any further significant additions or changes in the Opportunities and Risks as described in the 2018 Annual Report.

A description of the opportunities and risks of the AIXTRON Group can be found in the chapters "Risk Report" and "Opportunities Report" of the Annual Report 2018 which is publicly available for download on the Company's website athttps://www.aixtron.com/en/investors/publications.

Outlook

Based on the good results for the first nine months of 2019 and the assessment of the development of demand in the current market environment, AIXTRON Management firms up its forecast for 2019 orders, sales and free cash flow.

Accordingly, Management expects a stable revenue development compared to 2018. In the final quarter of the year, despite low visibility a further increase in demand is expected. Based on the 9M/2019 results, the present assessment of the order situation and the budget exchange rate of 1.20 USD/EUR, Management refines its forecast for 2019, now expecting to receive orders for the current financial year of around EUR 220 million (previously: EUR 220 million to EUR 260 million). With revenues of around EUR 260 million (previously: EUR 260 million to EUR 290 million), Management expects to achieve a gross margin of around 40% and an EBIT of around 13% of revenues in 2019. Furthermore, Management anticipates a free cash flow around EUR 15 million in 2019 (previously EUR 15 million to EUR 25 million). This forecast takes the longer than expected review processes for granting export licences as well as the expectation of a follow up OLED order no longer in the financial year 2019 into account. Expectations for 2019 fully include the results of AIXTRON's APEVA subsidiary, including all necessary investments to continue the development of OLED activities.

Developments in AIXTRON's markets are positive. In particular, the increasing use of lasers in optical data transmission and 3D sensor technology, the expansion of the 5G network and the increasing use of energy-efficient power electronics are expected to lead to further growth in the corresponding target markets.
