ASM INTERNATIONAL N.V. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2013 OPERATING RESULTS

ASM International N.V. (NASDAQ: ASMI and Euronext Amsterdam: ASM) reports today its first quarter 2013 operating results (unaudited) in accordance with US GAAP.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Following the close of the sale on March 15, 2013 of a 12% share in ASMPT, the entity in which our Back-end segment is organized, our shareholding is reduced to 40%. As a consequence as from March 15, 2013 the results of ASMPT are deconsolidated. Hence this overview shows the fully consolidated results from ASMPT until March 15, 2013. As from that date onwards the net result of ASMPT is reported on the line "result from investments".
• Net sales for the first quarter 2013 were €240 million. Net sales of our Front-end segment of €80 million decreased 14% quarter-to-quarter. Back-end sales for the whole of Q1 decreased on a comparable level with 7%.
• Result from operations for Q1 2013 was €(3) million. Result from operations in Q4 2012 was €(4) million while Q1 of 2012 showed a profit of €22 million.
• The Front-end segment's operating profit was €1.1 million compared to €1.2 million in Q4, 2012. Q1 2012 showed an operating profit of €2.9 million;
• The Back-end segment's operating loss was €4.3 million compared to a loss of €5.3 million in Q4, 2012. The first quarter of 2012 showed an operating profit of €19.0 million. Would we have consolidated the Back-end segment for the whole of Q1, result from operations of the Back-end segment would have been a profit of €1.2 million.
• First quarter 2013 net earnings were €1,410 million compared to a net loss of €22 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 and a profit of €6 million for the first quarter of 2012. The gain on the sale of 12% of the total outstanding ASMPT shares consists of two elements, the realized gain on the sale of the 11.88% stake of €324 million and an unrealized remeasurement gain on the remaining 40.08% of the shares of approximately €1.1 billion. The current share price of ASMPT, which is below the price at the close of the sale, could lead to future unrealized remeasurement losses when lower price levels sustain.
• Book to bill in the first quarter of 2013 for the Front-end was 1.3. The Backlog compared to the end of the fourth quarter 2012, increased from EUR 92 million to EUR 120 million.

COMMENT

"The first quarter of 2013 was important for ASMI. We announced the outcome of the valuation study and sold 12% of the total outstanding ASMPT shares which resulted in a deconsolidation of ASMPT. This led to the recognition of an extraordinary result of approximately €1.4 billion in Q1. While our sales in the Front-end operations showed an expected double digit decrease, we again saw a strong order-intake in Q1. Front-end gross margin, after showing a strong improvement in Q4 last year, further improved."

OUTLOOK

Following the healthy book to bill ratio's in Q4 2012 and Q1 2013 our Front-end operations are expected to show a strong double digit sales increase in Q2 compared to Q1. We also expect a double digit increase of our order-intake in Q2 compared to Q1.

Net Sales. The following table shows net sales of our Front-end and Back-end segments for the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the fourth of 2012 and the first quarter of 2012:

(EUR millions)	Q1 2012	Q4 2012	Q1 2013	% Change Q4 2012 to Q1 2013	% Change Q1 2012 to Q1 2013

1) For Q1 2013, the results of Back-end were consolidated until March 15, 2013. From that date on net result of ASMPT will be reported on the line "result from investments".

The first quarter 2013 sales decrease in our Front-end segment, compared to the previous quarter, is mainly the result of lower volumes. The decrease of the Back-end sales came mainly from the deconsolidation . Would we have consolidated the Backend segment for the whole of Q1, Back-end sales would have been €207 million, on a comparable base approximately 7% below Q4, 2012.

The impact of currency changes was a decrease of 1% quarter to quarter and a decrease of 2% year-over-year.

Gross Profit (Margin). The following table shows our gross profit and gross profit margin for our Front-end and Back-end performance for the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2012:

The gross profit margin of our Front-end segment in the first quarter increased 0.6%, mainly due to the effects of a better loading. The Back-end gross profit margin increased 0.5%, mainly due to a better mix. Would the Back-end segment have been consolidated for the whole of Q1, the Back-end gross margin would have improved to 25.6%.

Total net earnings allocated to the shareholders of the

1) For Q1 2013, the results of Back-end were consolidated until March 15, 2013. From that date on net result of ASMPT will be reported on the line "result from investments".

The sale of the 11.88% stake caused ASMI's cease of control on ASMPT. According to general accepted accounting principles (both US GAAP and IFRS) the accounting of this sale consists of two separate transactions.

• a sale of a 51.96% subsidiary
• a purchase of a 40.08% associate.

The first transaction, the sale, resulted in a substantial gain and the deconsolidation of ASMPT. This gain consists of two elements, the realized gain on the sale of the 11.88% stake of €324 million and an unrealized remeasurement gain on the remaining 40.08% of the shares of approximately €1.1 billion. The purchase of the associate resulted in the recognition of the associate at fair value. In order to determine the impact of the purchase accounting on ASMI's share in future net earnings of ASMPT a purchase price allocation will take place in the second quarter of 2013.

Net earnings for the Back-end segment for the first quarter of 2013 reflect our 51.96% ownership of ASM Pacific Technology over the period January 1 until March 15 and our 40.08% ownership as from March 15, 2013.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net cash provided by operations was €2 million for the first quarter of 2013, as compared to €50 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. For the first quarter of 2012 net cash provided by operations was €40 million

The inflow for Q1 2013 resulted from the proceeds of the sale of the ASMPT shares partly set off by the deconsolidation of the cash and cash equivalents of ASMPT.

Net cash used in financing activities was €22 million for the first quarter of 2013, as compared to €35 million used for the fourth quarter of 2012. For the first quarter of 2012 net cash used in financing activities of €6 million was reported.

The number of outstanding days of working capital for the Front-end operations, measured against quarterly sales, increased from 110 days at December 31, 2012 to 133 days on March 31, 2013.

Sources of liquidity. On March 31, 2013, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of €565 million in cash and cash equivalents and €150 million in undrawn bank lines. After approval of the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, an extraordinary capital distribution, following the sale of the 12% stake of ASMPT and totaling to an amount of approximately €270 million, is expected to be executed in July 2013.

(1) The calculation of diluted net earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in earnings of the Company. Only instruments that have a dilutive effect on net earnings are included in the calculation. The assumed conversion results in adjustment in the weighted average number of common shares and net earnings due to the related impact on interest expense. The calculation is done for each reporting period individually. For three months ended March 31, 2013 the possible increase of common shares caused by employee stock options with 818,497 common shares, adjustments have been reflected in the diluted weighted average number of shares and net earnings per share for this period.
