Interim Report January–September 2022

Third quarter

  • Order intake amounted to SEK 1,609 (1,242) million, an increase of 30 percent
  • Net sales increased 23 percent to SEK 1,214 (986) million. Based on constant exchange rates, net sales increased 10 percent
  • EBIT amounted to SEK 203 (106) million and the EBIT margin was 17 (11) percent
  • Earnings per share were SEK 1.56 (0.82)

January–September

  • Order intake amounted to SEK 4,253 (3,272) million, an increase of 30 percent
  • Net sales increased 8 percent to SEK 3,622 (3,341) million. Based on constant exchange rates, net sales decreased 1 percent
  • EBIT amounted to SEK 632 (845) million and the EBIT margin was 17 (25) percent
  • Earnings per share were SEK 5.03 (6.66)

"Order intake increased during the third quarter by 30 percent compared with a relatively weak corresponding quarter in the preceding year, mainly driven by a strong performance by Pattern Generators, and supported by positive currency effects. Net sales increased 23 percent, with good growth in High Flex and High Volume, here again supported by positive currency effects. EBIT increased to SEK 203 million with an EBIT margin of 17 percent and I am pleased to note that all divisions reported double-digit EBIT margins for the second consecutive quarter," says Anders Lindqvist, President and CEO.

Outlook 2022

It is the Board of Directors' revised opinion that consolidated net sales for 2022 will be at a level of SEK 5 billion at prevailing exchange rates*. Due to the product mix of announced orders in Pattern Generators with deliveries in 2022, the Group's EBIT margin is, as before, expected to be slightly above the previous long-term financial target of >15 percent.

*The previous opinion was of net sales of SEK 5 billion, based on exchange rates at the end of 2021.

Order intake increased during the third quarter by 30 percent compared with a relatively weak corresponding quarter in the preceding year, mainly driven by a strong performance by Pattern Generators, and supported by positive currency effects. Net sales increased 23 percent, with good growth in High Flex and High Volume, here again supported by positive currency effects. EBIT increased to SEK 203 million with an EBIT margin of 17 percent and I am pleased to note that all divisions reported double-digit EBIT margins for the second consecutive quarter.

In conjunction with Mycronic's Capital Markets Day in September, we presented new, ambitious growth and profitability targets. We also highlighted the previously communicated climate target and presented it together with the financial targets. By 2030, we will double net sales and EBIT while halving our own $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ emissions. The Group's EBIT margin is to be above 20 percent, the EBIT margin for individual divisions is to be above 10 percent and we undertake to set new climate targets in accordance with Science Based Targets.

At the end of September, we renewed a revolving credit facility of SEK 1,000 million until September 2026 to secure flexibility in connection with business opportunities. In total, we continue to have access to SEK 2,000 million in bank financing, though at present the credit facility is not utilized.

Pattern Generators received its first order for a Prevision 8 Entry Evo during the quarter. This is a new model in the Prevision Evo series of mask writers to write photomasks for displays up to mask size G8. Third quarter order intake was strong and the division received orders for seven mask

writers: one Prevision 8 Entry Evo, two Prevision Lite 8 Evos and four SLXs. At the same time, one SLX was delivered.

Demand remained at a healthy level for High Flex during the third quarter, despite an uncertain macroeconomic environment. Europe has continued to show positive development, with particularly strong demand noted in Italy. North America also performed well. High Flex's sales and service center in Mexico is expected to be operational in the fourth quarter.

For High Volume, suppliers to the electric car industry witnessed high demand and continued to invest. Consumer electronics remained weak and the division's customers in this industry are thus postponing new investments.

For Global Technologies, customers' investments in China continued in substrates, which meant that the division's electrical test equipment for substrates continued to demonstrate strong performance. In parallel, demand for test equipment for PCBs was stable, with the decline in investments in consumer electronics offset by demand driven by high layer count PCBs. Demand in die bonding from China in telecom and datacom developed negatively.

During the quarter, our die bonding operations within Global Technologies struggled with component shortages, while the other divisions were largely successful in delivering as planned. The high energy prices have not had a material direct impact on cost.

The revised opinion of the Board of Directors and myself is that consolidated net sales for 2022 remain at a level of SEK 5 billion, but based on prevailing exchange rates, where a softer SEK has compensated for weaker demand in China.

In September, Mycronic held a Capital Markets Day at the company's headquarters, during which new financial and sustainability targets were presented. The financial targets state that Mycronic is to achieve net sales of SEK 10 billion and that EBIT is to exceed SEK 2 billion by 2030. In addition, the Group's EBIT margin is to be above 20 percent, while the EBIT margin for individual divisions is to be above 10 percent.

During the quarter, the company repurchased 113,900 of its own shares for delivery to participants of LTIP 2022. At the end of September, a revolving credit facility with Nordea of SEK 1,000 million was renewed until September 2026.

The Group's order intake increased in the third quarter by 30 percent to SEK 1,609 (1,242) million, mainly driven by a favorable performance by Pattern Generators, and supported by positive currency effects. For the first nine months, order intake increased 30 percent to SEK 4,253 (3,272) million. Order intake excluding acquisitions and divestment increased 31 percent in the quarter and 22 percent for the first nine months of the year. The Group's order backlog was SEK 2,542 (2,030) million at the end of the quarter.

Net sales increased 23 percent to SEK 1,214 (986) million, with good growth in High Flex and High Volume, here again supported by positive currency effects. For the first nine months, net sales increased 8 percent to SEK 3,622 (3,341) million. Net sales were positively impacted by currency effects of SEK 127 million for the quarter and SEK 315 million for the first nine months.

In the third quarter 2021, the Group's gross margin was negatively affected by SEK 26 million in acquisition-related costs due to the acquisition of atg L&M. This partly explains the improvement in gross margin this year to 45 (41) percent. The gross margin for the first nine months was 45 (52) percent.

EBIT increased to SEK 203 (106) million during the quarter, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 17 (11) percent. EBIT for the first nine months of the year amounted to SEK 632 (845) million, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 17 (25) percent. Acquisition-related costs amounted to SEK 17 (42) million for the quarter and SEK 49 (73) million for the first nine months of the year.

Cash flow and financial position

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents at the end of September amounted to SEK 906 (887) million. Cash flow amounted to SEK 153 (-444) million for the first nine months of the year. Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 416 (758) million. Working capital increased SEK 203 million, driven by trade receivables and inventory.

Investments during the first nine months of the year generated a positive cash flow of SEK 104 million, compared with a negative cash flow of SEK 1,093 million in the preceding year. The divestment of AEi in February generated SEK 216 million in cash flow, while the capitalization of product development amounted to SEK 25 (33) million and investments in tangible assets to SEK 87 (29) million. Financing activities utilized SEK 366 (108) million, of which SEK 294 million related to dividends to shareholders.

Sustainability

In conjunction with Mycronic's Capital Market Day, the company's climate target was presented together with the financial targets. Mycronic's ambition is to cut $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ emissions from production sites, offices, transportation and travel with 50 percent by 2030. In addition, Mycronic has undertaken to set Science Based Targets.

Pattern Generators received its first order for a Prevision 8 Entry Evo during the quarter. This is a new model in the Prevision Evo series of mask writers to write photomasks for displays up to mask size G8. Unlike Prevision Lite 8 Evo, this model is supplied with flexible configuration options, which allows the customers to upgrade to a Prevision 8 Evo in order to produce more advanced photomasks.

Third quarter order intake was strong and the division received orders for seven mask writers: one Prevision 8 Entry Evo, two Prevision Lite 8 Evos and four SLXs. Order intake increased 76 percent to SEK 718 (407) million. For the first nine months of the year, order intake increased 50 percent to SEK 1,276 (849) million.

At the end of the September, the order backlog amounted to SEK 1,106 (759) million and contained 15 systems with planned deliveries as follows:

2023 Q1: 2 SLXs, 1 Prevision Lite 8 Evo

2023 Q2: 1 SLX

2023 Q3: 1 Prevision Lite 8 Evo

2023 Q4: 2 SLXs, 1 Prevision 8 Entry Evo, 1 Prevision Lite 8 Evo

2024 Q1: 1 SLX

The delivery of an SLX announced earlier, has been moved from the third to the fourth quarter of 2022.

Pattern Generators delivered one SLX during the third quarter, compared with one Prevision Lite 8 Evo and one SLX during the same period last year. Net sales declined 7 percent and amounted to SEK 246 (265) million. For the first nine months of the year, net sales decreased 27 percent to SEK 914 (1,246) million. Net sales were positively impacted by currency effects of SEK 19 million for the third quarter and SEK 58 million for the first nine months.

The gross margin for the quarter amounted to 62 (58) percent and 59 (71) percent for the first nine months of the year.

EBIT declined to SEK 76 (94) million during the quarter, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 31 (35) percent. Due to lower net sales and a less advantageous product mix, EBIT for the first nine months of the year decreased to SEK 311 (686) million, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 34 (55) percent.

R&D costs for the quarter amounted to SEK 49 (45) million and SEK 157 (149) million for the first nine months. The capitalization of development costs amounted to SEK 0 (3) million for the quarter and SEK 2 (13) million for the first nine months.

In China, customers' investments continued in substrates, which meant that the division's electrical test equipment for substrates continued to demonstrate strong performance. In parallel, demand for test equipment for PCBs was stable, with the decline in investments in consumer electronics offset by demand driven by high layer count PCBs. Demand in die bonding from China in telecom and datacom developed negatively. Global Technologies' order intake amounted to SEK 232 (282) million for the quarter and SEK 713 (517) million for the first nine months. Order intake excluding acquisition and divestment was during the third quarter at the same level as the previous year and increased 4 percent for the first nine months. At the end of the quarter, the order backlog totaled SEK 298 (299) million.

During the quarter, the operations in die bonding faced challenges in terms of the supply of components while electrical testing successfully executed its production plan despite the strained component supply situation. Net sales amounted to SEK 218 (232) million for the quarter and SEK 642 (405) million for the first nine months. Organic net sales decreased 10 percent in the quarter and was for the first nine months at the same level as the previous year.

Interim Report January–September 2022


The electronics industry

The global electronics industry grew by 12.3 percent in 2021 to USD 2,480 billion1. For full-year 2021, the semiconductor market grew 26.7 percent to the equivalent of USD 556 billion1.

OUTLOOK

Annual growth for the electronics industry is forecast at 3.6 percent for the period 2021-20261. Segments with the strongest expected growth during this five-year period are electronics for data centers, automotive industry, communication and industrial applications related to automation and control. The electronics industry is forecast to show negative growth of 2.8 percent in 2022 as a result of increasing weakness in PC, mobile phone and TV markets and the automotive segment not fully recovering the ground lost during the pandemic. The semiconductor market is expected to grow 6.3 percent in the full-year 2022 compared with 2021 and is forecast to be positive during the 2022-2026 period as a whole, with annual growth of 5.6 percent1. The display market is estimated to have grown 25.7 percent in 2021 to USD 157 billion2. For 2022, negative growth of 21.9 percent is forecast due to a reduction in the prices of LCD displays. During the 2022-2026 period, the display market is expected to return to positive growth, with the long-term trend towards a larger share of advanced AMOLED displays expected to continue.

SMT AND DISPENSING MARKET AREA

The global market for SMT equipment has annual sales of approximately USD 6,200 million7, of which the segment SMT robots for component mounting amounted to USD 3,732 million in 2021. The segment declined as a whole in the first half of 2022 compared with the same period last year, even though the markets in Europe, North and South America and Japan reported growth3. The dispensing equipment market increased 24.7 percent and had sales of USD 910 million4 in 2021.

ASSEMBLY AUTOMATION AND TEST MARKET AREA

Components for optical communication are expected to grow by 16.4 percent in 2022, to USD 14.7 billion8. For the period 2021-2027 the market is forecast to grow to USD 24.6 billion8, which corresponds to annual growth of 11.7 percent. Growth expectations for the global market for printed circuit boards and substrates has been revised downward to 1.5 percent in 2022 to USD 82.1 billion9. Growth continues to be driven by high layer count PCBs and substrates. For the period 2021-2026, the market is forecast to grow to USD 101.6 billion9, which corresponds to annual growth of 4.6 percent.

PATTERN GENERATORS MARKET AREA

PHOTOMASKS FOR DISPLAYS

In 2021 the market showed growth of 14.0 percent, from USD 821 million to USD 936 million5^{,} 10. The positive trend is largely related to the increase in demand for photomasks in 2021, since the display manufacturers began to re-focus on developing new models after a period with priority on production of existing models. In addition, there is an ongoing shift toward a higher proportion of advanced displays that require more, and more advanced, photomasks. The expectations for 2022 are that the photomask market will continue to grow and show positive growth of 9.8 percent to USD 1,028 million5^{,} 10. The market is driven primarily by a higher proportion of advanced photomasks for AMOLED displays. The forecast for the total area growth amounts to an average of 2.4 percent per year for 2021-20265. Strong growth for AMOLED photomasks is expected, with an annual average area growth of 6.0 percent for 2021-20265, which drives the need for photomasks produced by advanced mask writers.

PHOTOMASKS FOR SEMICONDUCTORS

In 2021, the market showed growth of 16.2 percent, from USD 5.3 billion to USD 6.1 billion6. Despite the pandemic, the market trend was strong, primarily driven by robust growth for the most advanced photomasks, although the market for mature technology nodes addressed by laser-based mask writers was also positive. The expectations for 2022 are that the market will continue to perform positively, with growth of 18.4 percent to USD 7.2 billion6. The market will also remain primarily driven by higher volumes of the most advanced photomasks, which are mainly produced by E-beam mask writers.

Notes

NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The 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. The accounting principles 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 period 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, 2021. The carrying amounts and fair values are deemed to essentially correspond with one another.

NOTE 2 TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Transactions with related parties are described in Note 8 of the 2021 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, which are described in the 2021 Annual Report. Mycronic is for example exposed to country-specific risks such as political decisions or overarching changes to the regulatory framework, both geographically and product-wise. Mycronic is also exposed to effects from the COVID-19 outbreak.

NOTE 4 EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD

After the end of the period, an order for two SLX mask writers was received.

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim report for Mycronic AB (publ) as at September 30, 2022 and for the nine months period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements, ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden.

The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Group, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Parent Company.
