PRESS RELEASE

2013 Profit Increases 2.2% vs. 2012. Q4-13 Revenue and Profit Exceed Expectations. Order Outlook Improving. Proposed 10% Dividend Increase

Duiven, the Netherlands, February 27, 2014 - BE Semiconductor Industries N.V. ("the Company" or "Besi") (NYSE Euronext: BESI; OTCQX: BESIY), a leading manufacturer of assembly equipment for the semiconductor industry, today announced its results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2013.

Key Highlights Q4-13

  • Revenue of € 53.1 million down 18.9% vs. Q3-13 but exceeds guidance. Down 5.8% vs. Q4-12
  • Orders up 18.8% vs. Q3-13 and 10.0% vs. Q4-12 due to growth in packaging and plating systems
  • Net income of € 1.4 million vs. € 4.4 million in Q3-13 due to lower revenue and € 2.0 million nonrecurring charge. Profit up € 0.2 million vs. Q4-12 despite lower revenue and non-recurring charge

Key Highlights FY 2013

Richard W. Blickman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Besi, commented: "In 2013, Besi enhanced its profitability in a volatile assembly equipment market and delivered solid total returns to shareholders. Net income increased by 2.2% to € 16.1 million this year as progress continued on making our business model more scalable, flexible and profitable in response to a challenging market environment. Despite a 6.9% year over year revenue decrease, we gained market share in our principal die attach and packaging systems products serving higher growth advanced packaging applications such as smart phones, tablets and automotive electronics and increased both gross and net margins. Furthermore, we ended the year in a strong financial position with total cash of € 89.6 million (€ 2.40 per share). Total dividends and share repurchases aggregated € 14.0 million in 2013 and € 44.9 million over the past three years, confirming our commitment to provide a current return to our shareholders while maintaining sufficient cash to fund future growth.

Our Q4-13 results exceeded expectations due to better than anticipated revenue, gross margin and operating expense development reflecting higher than anticipated shipments and ongoing progress in reducing materials costs and overhead levels. Besi's cost reduction efforts reduced break even revenue levels such that we were profitable at a € 50 million run rate this quarter, an improvement of approximately 10% versus year end 2012.

We are cautiously optimistic as to the industry's direction in 2014 as customers are generally more positive this year than prior years as to the development of the global economy and the industry's move to more complex and higher performance devices at geometries below 20 nanometers. Currently, VLSI Research expects that the semiconductor assembly equipment market will increase by 9.7% in 2014. From our perspective, the outlook has improved since Q3-13 as witnessed by the 18.8% sequential order increase in Q4-13 and continued order improvement through February 2014. Similarly, we forecast that our revenue will increase by approximately 25-30% in Q1-14 vs. Q4-13 with a significant increase in sequential quarterly profitability. In 2014, we will continue to enhance our product mix of advanced packaging systems and optimize our cost structure and scalability in order to further reduce break even cost levels in downturns and maximize revenue generation and profits in ensuing upturns."

Dividend

Besi has revised its dividend policy such that it will consider the payment of dividends on an annual basis based upon (i) a review of its annual and prospective financial performance and liquidity/financing needs, the prevailing market outlook, its strategy, market position and acquisition strategy and/or (ii) a dividend payout ratio in the range of 40-80% relative to net income to be adjusted accordingly if the factors referred to under (i) so require.

As part of the revised dividend policy, Besi will propose the payment of a cash dividend of € 0.33 per share to shareholders for the 2013 year for approval at its AGM on April 30, 2014. The dividend increase this year is due to increased profits in 2013, encouraging prospects for 2014 and Besi's healthy cash position at year end 2013. The proposed dividend represents a 10.0% increase over 2012, a pay-out ratio relative to 2013 net income of approximately 77% and will be payable from May 16, 2014.

Fourth Quarter Results of Operations

Q4-2013 Q3-2013 Δ Q4-2012 Δ
Revenue 53.1 65.4 -18.9% 56.3 -5.8%
Orders 57.2 48.2 +18.8% 52.0 +10.0%
Backlog 50.0 45.8 +9.0% 53.0 -5.7%
Book to Bill Ratio 1.1x 0.7x +46.4% 0.9x +16.8%

Besi's € 12.3 million (18.9%) sequential revenue decrease in Q4-13 was primarily due to lower demand for die attach systems, particularly epoxy and flip chip die attach systems for smart phone and tablet applications due to general market weakness. Revenue in Q4-13 decreased by € 3.2 million (5.8%) vs. Q4-12 due to lower packaging and plating system shipments partially offset by increased sales of die attach equipment.

In contrast, orders increased by 18.8% sequentially in Q4-13 and were significantly better than the Q4/Q3-12 sequential trend (6.7% increase). Order growth was due primarily to increased bookings by European and US IDMs for packaging and plating systems used primarily in automotive, smart phone and solar applications. On a customer basis, the sequential order increase in Q4-13 reflected an € 8.2 million (26.6%) increase by IDMs and an € 0.8 million (4.6%) increase by subcontractors. As

compared to Q4-12, the 10.0% order increase reflected increased bookings for die attach systems in advanced packaging applications.

Q4-2013 Q3-2013 Δ Q4-2012 Δ
Gross Margin 40.1% 39.2% +0.9% 36.4% +3.7%
Operating Expenses 20.5 20.1 +2.0% 22.6 -9.2%
Financial Expense, net 0.0 0.2 -82.1% 0.5 -91.9%

Besi's 40.1% gross margin achieved in Q4-13 exceeded guidance of 38-40%. The sequential improvement as compared to Q3-13, despite significantly lower revenue levels, was due primarily to lower materials and freight costs partially offset by adverse foreign exchange effects from an increase in the value of the euro vs. the US\$. The 3.7% increase vs. Q4-12 was due primarily to lower materials costs resulting from the expansion of Besi's Asian supply chain network and, to a lesser extent, foreign exchange benefits from a decrease in the value of the Malaysian ringgit vs. the euro as well as lower restructuring, personnel and freight costs.

As compared to Q3-13, operating expenses increased by € 0.4 million (2.0%) due to a non-recurring pre-tax charge of € 2.2 million related to the theft of monies from a bank account at one of Besi's US subsidiaries. Excluding such charge, operating expenses declined by € 1.8 million (9.0%) due primarily to lower warranty and freight costs and increased development grants received in the quarter. As compared to Q4-12, the € 2.1 million decrease (€ 4.3 million or 19.0% excluding the nonrecurring charge) primarily resulted from lower personnel, restructuring and warranty expenses. Q4-13 total headcount declined by 2.3% vs. Q3-13 and by 5.3% as compared to Q4-12 highlighting Besi's ongoing cost reduction efforts.

Financial expense, net, was nil in Q4-13 as compared to an expense in both Q3-13 and Q4-12 due to reduced losses from foreign currency hedging activities in Besi's principal transactional currencies.

Q4-2013 Q3-2013 Δ Q4-2012 Δ
Net Income 1.4 4.4 -67.8% 1.2 +17.1%
Net Margin 2.7% 6.8% -4.1% 2.2% +0.5%

Besi's € 3.0 million net income decrease vs. Q3-13 was due primarily to significantly lower revenue and a non-recurring charge of € 2.0 million, net of taxes, partially offset by higher gross margins and a tax benefit of € 0.7 million due to the upward revaluation of deferred tax assets. As compared to Q4- 12, the € 0.2 million profit increase was primarily due to significantly improved gross margins combined with a € 2.1 million reduction in operating expenses which more than offset a 5.8% year over year revenue decrease and the non-recurring charge recognized in Q4-13.

Full Year 2013/2012

2013 2012 Δ
Revenue 254.9 273.7 -6.9%
Orders 251.9 276.1 -8.8%
Net Income 16.1 15.8 +2.2%
Net Margin 6.3% 5.8% +0.5%
Tax Rate 15.8% 19.1% -3.3%

Besi's 6.9% revenue decline in 2013 was principally due to lower sales of multi module die attach systems for high end smart phones which could not be fully compensated for by increased die attach and packaging equipment sales for low-end to mid-range smart phone and tablet applications. However, Besi experienced sales and market share growth for its flip chip, epoxy and soft solder die

bonding and ultra-thin molding systems in 2013 to support increased smart phone and automotive electronics demand. The 8.8% order decrease in 2013 was due primarily to continued customer caution in adding new capacity as a result of global macro-economic concerns. Orders by subcontractors and IDMs represented 51% and 49%, respectively, of Besi's total orders in 2013 as compared to 57% and 43%, respectively, in 2012.

Besi's net income in 2013 increased by € 0.3 million vs. 2012 despite the year over year revenue decrease primarily due to increased operating efficiency as well as a lower effective tax rate from a restructuring of its European operations. Specifically, profit increased in 2013 primarily due to (i) lower production and overhead costs from Besi's Asian production transfer and further integration of its European die attach operations, (ii) € 1.6 million of decreased restructuring costs, (iii) € 1.6 million of increased financial income, net, and (iv) a lower effective tax rate partially offset by (i) an € 18.8 million revenue reduction between the comparable periods and (ii) a € 2.0 million non-recurring charge, net of taxes.

Cash flow from Ops. 18.3 3.2 +481.9% 25.4 -28.1% 18.1 39.2 -53.9%

At the end of Q4-13, Besi's cash and cash equivalents were € 89.6 million, an increase of € 11.1 million vs. Q3-13 while total debt and capital leases decreased sequentially by € 3.9 million to € 18.6 million. As a result, net cash increased by € 15.0 million to € 71.0 million. In Q4-13, Besi generated cash flow from operations of € 18.3 million which was utilized to fund (i) € 3.9 million of debt reduction, net, (ii) € 1.7 million of capitalized development spending and (iii) € 1.7 million of capital expenditures.

Year over year, Besi's net cash position of € 71.0 million decreased by € 8.5 million versus year end 2012 due primarily to a € 6.1 million increase in cash dividends paid and a € 1.8 million increase in share repurchases.

Appointment of Chief Technology Officer

Besi appointed Mr Ruurd Boomsma as Chief Technology Officer effective January 1, 2014 and also as a member of the Executive Committee.
