Q1
Interim Report January–March 2019
Robust growth in net sales and strengthened EBIT margin
"I am very pleased to note that the first quarter of 2019 was strong. Net sales grew 47 percent at the same time as EBIT improved 107 percent and EBIT margin was strengthened by almost 11 percentage points. Assembly Solutions performed well and Pattern Generators' strong figures were boosted by the deferral of a delivery of a Prevision system from the fourth quarter of 2018 to the first quarter of 2019," says Lena Olving, President and CEO.
First quarter
- Order intake increased 10 percent to SEK 721 (656) million
- Net sales increased 47 percent to SEK 1,105 (750) million and 37 percent based on constant exchange rates
- EBIT was SEK 406 (196) million, an increase of 107 percent. The EBIT margin was 37 (26) percent
- The underlying EBIT was SEK 420 (216) million, an increase of 95 percent. The underlying EBIT margin was 38 (29) percent
- Earnings per share amounted to SEK 3.20 (1.44)
Outlook 2019
The Board's assessment remains that consolidated net sales for 2019 will be at a level of SEK 4 billion, excluding any acquisitions made in 2019.
Events after the end of the quarter
Prevision Lite 8 was launched on April 16, 2019, and targets the small and medium-sized segments in the market for photomasks for displays. Prevision Lite 8 is a complement to the more advanced Prevision 8 and broadens the range of mask writers to address the different needs of Mycronic's customers.

CEO comments

After completing another record year, we can see that the trend in the first quarter of 2019 was also strong. We had a good start to 2019, with growth of 47 percent, a sharp improvement in EBIT margin and increased order intake. This is partly explained by a deferral in revenue recognition for a Prevision system from the fourth quarter of 2018 to the first quarter of 2019, as previously communicated in the third-quarter interim report and the year-end report.
Mycronic's goal for the year is to reach net sales of SEK 4 billion, excluding any acquisitions. By providing our customers with the best and most efficient production solutions, we enable growth at the same time as we improve the ability of our customers to achieve flexible and profitable electronics production. At the APEX Expo in San Diego at the end of January, Mycronic introduced two new compact pick-and-place machine models, which offer highly flexible electronics production with speeds up to 100,000 components per hour. At the same time, we demonstrated a complete SMT line, intended for smart factories and optimized for maximum availability even in the toughest production environments.
The Assembly Solutions business area began the year by reporting an increase in order intake, net sales and EBIT compared with the first quarter of 2018. However, the gross margin deteriorated slightly due to a less favorable regional and product mix in addition to higher material costs, while the EBIT margin improved by just over 7 percentage points and remained positive.

Our Pattern Generators business area received no orders for new mask writers during the first quarter, which was also the case in the first quarter of 2018. Net sales grew 56 percent and EBIT margin strengthened by almost 10 percentage points to 69 percent. The launch of Prevision Lite 8 in April has further broadened the range of mask writers to address the different needs of Mycronic's customers.
Our success in delivering attractive customer solutions, and thereby recording strong growth for the past five years, is largely thanks to Mycronic's ability to innovate and courage to always be one step ahead. The long-term and focused work by talented and dedicated employees has strengthened the company in all respects. We therefore have a solid foundation for sustained profitable growth.
I am now presenting my final quarterly report, after almost six years as CEO, and would like to thank all employees and stakeholders for making my time at Mycronic into an exceptional journey. From May 16, I will continue to follow Mycronic with great interest as a shareholder and I am confident that Team Mycronic, under the leadership of incoming CEO Anders Lindqvist, will do its utmost to continue to deliver unique production solutions that facilitate the electronics production of the future for Mycronic's customers.
Lena Olving, President and CEO

January-March 2019
Order intake increased 10 percent to SEK 721 (656) million, driven by strong order intake in Assembly Solutions. In Pattern Generators, no orders for mask writers were received during the quarter.
Net sales increased 47 percent to SEK 1,105 million, with organic growth of 33 percent, excluding positive currency effects of SEK 70 million. Assembly Solutions reported strong growth of 38 percent, which was largely organic although the acquisition last year of MRSI also contributed to growth. Pattern Generators completed delivery of two mask writers and a major upgrade, compared with one mask writer during the first quarter of 2018. This included a Prevision-10 for which, on the customer's initiative, the terms of delivery entailed revenue recognition being deferred until the beginning of 2019 instead of the end of 2018.
EBIT for the quarter increased 107 percent to SEK 406 (196) million due to positive contributions from both business areas, resulting in an EBIT margin of 37 (26) percent.
Acquisition-related expenses affected earnings in an amount of SEK 15 (20) million, and consisted of amortisation of acquired intangible assets and changes in value of contingent considerations. The underlying EBIT rose 95 percent to SEK 420 (216) million, corresponding to an underlying EBIT margin of 38 (29) percent.
Cash flow and financial position
Consolidated cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first quarter amounted to SEK 873 million, compared with SEK 829 million at the end of 2018. Cash flow amounted to SEK 32 (-13) million during the quarter. Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 68 (2) million. Working capital increased by SEK 300 million, primarily linked to a reduction in current operating liabilities in connection with the previously announced delivery of the Prevision system during the first quarter of 2019. Working capital also increased as a result of capital tied up in inventories and trade receivables related to the company's growth.
Investments totaled SEK 24 (15) million and encompassed capitalisation of product development SEK 6 (0) million as well as investments in tangible assets, including an upgrade of Mycronic's premises in Täby to a modern environmental standard.

Assembly Solutions
In the first quarter, order intake for Assembly Solutions increased 18 percent compared with the corresponding period in 2018. Organic growth was 4 percent. The backlog of orders increased 41 percent to SEK 553 (391) million.
Net sales demonstrated a strong trend during the first quarter, growing 38 percent to SEK 524 (379) million. Organic growth was 18 percent, excluding positive currency effects of SEK 37 million.
The gross margin decreased slightly during the quarter due to a less favorable regional and product mix and higher material costs.
EBIT for the quarter increased to SEK 5 (-24) million, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 1 (-6) percent. The EBIT margin was burdened by an increase in marketing initiatives.
Acquisition-related expenses affected earnings in an amount of SEK 15 (20) million, and consisted of amortisation of acquired intangible assets and changes in value of contingent considerations. The underlying EBIT amounted to SEK 20 (-5) million, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 4 (-1) percent.
Research and development consists of existing product development and investments in future growth. Development costs for the quarter amounted to SEK 77 (77) million.
At the APEX Expo in San Diego at the end of January, Assembly Solutions introduced two new compact pick-and-place machine models, which enable highly flexible electronics production with speeds up to 100,000 components per hour. At the same time, a complete SMT line was demonstrated, intended for smart factories and optimized for maximum availability even in the toughest production environments. The launch continued at Productronica in China in March.
During the quarter, Mycronic also took part in industrial collaborations involving future production concepts linked to Industry 4.0 and 5G technology with leading Swedish industrial companies at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and at Hannover Messe in Germany in April. Mycronic has contributed to this collaboration through its know-how and technology relating to intelligent storage solutions in smart factories.
The business area continued to report a favorable performance in the dispensing field and new figures from Prismark show that Mycronic in 2018 was ranked as the fourth largest manufacturer of dispensing equipment, an important step towards Mycronic's goal to become one of the two largest global manufacturers.

Pattern Generators
During the first quarter, Pattern Generators received no orders for new mask writers, which was also the case in the first quarter of 2018.
During the quarter, two systems and a major upgrade were delivered, compared with one system during the first quarter of 2018.
Net sales increased 56 percent to SEK 581 (371) million and were positively impacted by the shipment of a Prevision-10 in the fourth quarter of 2018 for which, on the customer's initiative, the terms of delivery entailed revenue recognition being deferred until the beginning of 2019 instead of the end of 2018. The quarter was positively impacted by currency effects of SEK 33 million.
EBIT rose 81 percent to SEK 401 (221) million, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 69 (60) percent.
Fluctuations between quarters are natural for the business area, which is why the trend should be considered over a longer period.
Planned product initiatives are progressing and development costs have thereby risen to SEK 51 (25) million for the quarter due to the development of the next generation of mask writers along with further development of existing products.
The backlog of orders amounted to SEK 972 (1,477) million and includes eight systems, six of which have planned deliveries for 2019.
Prevision Lite 8 was launched on April 16, 2019, after the end of the quarter, and targets the small and medium-sized segments in the market for photomasks for displays. Prevision Lite 8 is a complement to the more advanced Prevision 8 and broadens the range of mask writers to address the different needs of Mycronic's customers. The market for less complex photomasks will continue to be an important segment for Mycronic's customers and Prevision Lite 8 is an attractive and modern production solution for these segments. It is part of Mycronic's trade-in program but can also be purchased without the trade-in machine and would then cost USD 10-16 million.
Interim Report January–March 2019
MYCRONIC
The electronics industry
The global electronics industry is assessed to have grown 5.8 percent in 2018 to USD 2,130 billion¹. For 2018, the semiconductor market grew 13.7 percent, corresponding to USD 469 billion¹. This increase can be attributed to the number of semiconductor circuits manufactured and higher prices for memory circuits.
Outlook
Annual growth for the electronics industry is forecast at 3.3 percent for the period 2018-2023¹. Segments with the strongest expected growth during this five-year period are electronics for the wireless infrastructure, data storage, the automotive industry, the aviation industry and consumer electronics. For 2019, growth in the electronics industry is forecast at 0.5 percent. The semiconductor market is expected to report a negative trend in 2019 and contract by 4 percent¹ to USD 450 billion, but is expected to be positive during the 2019-2023 period as a whole, with average annual growth of 4.7 percent¹.

Assembly Solutions
SMT and dispensing market area
The global market for SMT equipment has annual sales of approximately USD 5,300 million⁸. The segment SMT robots for component mounting grew 17 percent in 2018 to USD 3,070 million², with the strongest growth in markets in the rest of Asia (excluding Japan and China) and in Europe and the Americas. The dispensing equipment market had sales of USD 780 million³ in 2018. Mycronic's product portfolio comprises production systems for component mounting, non-contact high-speed dispensing of solder paste, inspection equipment, automated storage solutions, and equipment for dispensing and coating of circuit boards.
Assembly automation market
A growing segment within the electronics industry is electronics for the automotive industry. One sub-segment of
automotive electronics is camera modules for advanced driver support, or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Manufacture of camera modules in 2018 amounted to 165 million units and the forecast for 2023 is for production of 315 million units, corresponding to annual growth of 14 percent³. Mycronic offers, through AEi, automated production solutions for assembly and testing of camera modules. With the acquisition of the American company MRSI Systems, Mycronic now also offers die bonding equipment, with a global market in 2018 of USD 934 million⁷. MRSI is operating in a fast-growing sub-segment for die bonding equipment with extremely high precision.
Pattern Generators
The display market decreased 9 percent in 2018 to USD 113 billion, corresponding to 3.7 billion units⁴. The negative growth is primarily a result of the negative price development as the supply of displays increased during the first part of 2018. Prices are expected to stabilize in 2019. The trend toward more advanced displays will continue and positive growth of 1 percent to USD 115 billion⁴ is expected in 2019. Growth for AMOLED in 2018 was 6 percent, corresponding to a level of USD 23 billion⁴, which entails a downward adjustment compared with the previous forecast. During 2019, AMOLED is expected to grow 17 percent to USD 27 billion⁴, driven by an increased share of AMOLED displays, as more manufacturers start producing displays based on this technology. Meanwhile, the total display area is also increasing driven by larger screens and more screens in new products, such as in vehicles. The total manufactured display area grew in 2018 by 11 percent and growth in 2019 is forecast at 5 percent.
Photomask market for displays
According to the latest annual IHS report from May last year, the market is forecast to grow 8 percent to USD 762 million in 2018 and the forecast for 2019 is for growth of 18 percent to USD 897 million⁵,⁶. Growth is driven by a higher proportion of advanced photomasks for AMOLED and an increased need for G10 photomasks in China⁵. The forecast for total area growth is an average of 3.0 percent for 2018-2021⁵. Strong growth for AMOLED photomasks is expected, with an annual area growth of 26 percent for 2018-2021⁵, which drives the need for photomasks produced by P80 and P800 systems.

Notes
Note 1 Accounting policies
This interim report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting together 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 with the exception of the changes described below. The accounting principles of the segments are the same as for the Group with the exception of IFRS 16 Leases, see below.
The nature of financial assets and liabilities is in all material respects the same as on December 31, 2018. As was the case at the end of 2018, the carrying amounts and fair values are deemed to essentially correspond with one another.
Effects of IFRS 16 Leases
As of January 1, 2019, IFRS 16 Leases replaces the previous standard, IAS 17 Leases and the associated interpretations IFRIC 4, SIC 15 and SIC 27. IFRS 16 entails that a majority of all leases are recognized in the statement of financial position. When the standard came into force, Mycronic applied the modified retrospective approach, entailing that comparative information from prior periods is not presented. The lease liability comprised the discounted remaining lease payments at January 1, 2019. For all leases, the right-of-use asset was an amount corresponding to the lease liability adjusted for prepaid or accrued lease payments recognized in the statement of financial position on the first day of application. Accordingly, the transition to IFRS 16 had no effect on equity.
Mycronic has elected to apply the practical exemptions regarding leases where the underlying asset has a low value and for leases with a lease term of less than 12 months. These leases are not included in amounts recognized in the statement of financial position. Nor are leases included that were originally of a term longer than 12 months but which end in 2019. Mycronic's material leases currently primarily comprise rented premises, but also vehicles and office equipment. Rented premises are presented as one class of underlying assets, and vehicles and office equipment under Other, as they are not considered material individually. In the transition to IFRS 16, these leases are recognized in the statement of financial position, which involves an increase in the Group's total assets as a result of the addition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The lease payments recognized earlier as other external expenses have been replaced by depreciation costs for the right-of-use assets, which are recognized in EBIT and interest on the lease liability, which is recognized as a financial expense. The lease fee is divided between repayment of the lease liability and payment of interest.
The Parent Company utilizes the exception included in RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities and all leases have continued to be recognized as operating leases. Moreover, IFRS 16 is not applied in segment reporting.
In the transition to IFRS 16, all remaining lease payments were measured at present value applying Mycronic's incremental borrowing rate. The average borrowing rate on January 1, 2019 was 1.3 percent. When the standard came into force, the following adjustments were recognized in the Group's statement of financial position:
| Right-of-use assets | SEK 179.5 million |
|---|---|
| of which Rented premises | SEK 168.4 million |
| Prepaid expenses | SEK -5.4 million |
| Lease liabilities | SEK 174.1 million |

| Future lease charges for operating leases as of December 31 2018 | 193.0 |

| Adjustment of IAS 17 lease payments | -5.4 |
| Contracts regarding short-term leases charged against profit | -7.3 |
| Contracts regarding leases of low value assets charged against profit | -1.0 |

Note 2 Transactions with related parties
Transactions with related parties are described in Note 13 of the 2018 Annual Report. The scope and focus of these transactions did not change significantly during the period.
Note 3 Risks and uncertainty factors
There are a number of risks and uncertainty factors of an operational and financial character to which the Group is exposed through its operations, these are described in the 2018 Annual Report. Mycronic is exposed to country-specific risks such as political decisions or overarching changes to the regulatory framework, both geographically and product-wise.
Note 4 Events after the end of the quarter
Prevision Lite 8 was launched on April 16, 2019, and targets the small and medium-sized segments in the market for photomasks for displays. Prevision Lite 8 is a complement to the more advanced Prevision 8 and broadens the range of mask writers to address the different needs of Mycronic's customers.
