Order intake was strong during the second quarter, with an increase of 45 percent, driven by a very good performance in Pattern Generators. EBIT amounted to SEK 170 million, despite around SEK 60 million in costs during the quarter linked to business development projects.

In Pattern Generators, the photomask market for both displays and semiconductors remained positive during the second quarter. Pattern Generators reported a strong order intake and received orders for six systems, distributed as follows: one Prevision 8 Evo, one Prevision Lite 8 Evo and four SLXs.

Demand was strong from end customers in the High Flex segments of aerospace, defense, medical and industrial applications during the second quarter. Despite this, their suppliers - High Flex customers - to some extent remained cautious when placing orders for new production equipment. Geographically Europe and North America performed well, while China was weak.

In High Volume, investments in the second quarter among consumer electronics manufacturers in China remained at the same level as in the first quarter. They have not yet recovered after the end of covid restrictions in China. Investments focused on replacing manual tasks with automation rather than increasing production capacity by investing in new production lines. During the quarter, High Volume was successful in selling to new customers in the

electric vehicle industry. This is an attractive segment, even if in terms of size it is a smaller business for the division than the consumer electronics segment.

Demand within Global Technologies for electrical testing of printed circuit boards and substrates recovered during the second quarter in terms of system sales, for which demand was driven by investments in AI and servers. However, weak demand from the consumer electronics industry had a negative impact on the aftermarket business, with lower sales of consumable components and spare parts. In die bonding, demand was strong from aerospace and defense but remained weak from the largest markets data and telecom.

We continue to focus on increasing sustainability awareness throughout the organization. During the quarter, members of executive management have visited subsidiaries to discuss local sustainability initiatives.

Mycronic is in a favorable position, with a record order backlog, a very competitive and well-invested product offering and a strong balance sheet, including a net cash position of SEK 1,395 million. We have a number of exciting development projects ongoing and despite continued global uncertainty, I look forward to the second half of 2023 with confidence.

Order intake increased 45 percent to SEK 1,748 (1,203) million during the second quarter, supported by a very strong performance within Pattern Generators. For the first six months, order intake increased 27 percent to SEK 3,365 (2,644) million. The Group's order backlog was at a new record level and amounted to SEK 4,475 (2,146) million at the end of the quarter.

Net sales decreased 2 percent to SEK 1,245 (1,273) million during the quarter, mainly explained by a weak development in High Volume. Net sales for the first six months of the year increased 2 percent to SEK 2,464 (2,408) million. Net sales were positively impacted by currency effects of SEK 64 million for the quarter and SEK 134 million for the first six months.

The gross margin increased to 48 (45) percent, driven by a strong gross margin performance in Pattern Generators and a more favorable division mix, with Pattern Generators representing a larger share of the Group's net sales. The gross margin for the first six months of the year rose to 47 (45) percent.

EBIT for the quarter amounted to SEK 170 (224) million, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 14 (18) percent. EBIT included costs of around SEK 60 million linked to business development projects. EBIT for the first six months of the year amounted to SEK 352 (429) million, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 14 (18) percent. The six-month period included costs of around SEK 90 million linked to business development projects. In addition, the divestment of AEi had a positive EBIT impact of SEK 25 million during the first half of 2022. Acquisition-related costs amounted to SEK 16 (16) million for the quarter and to SEK 33 (32) million for the first six months.

Cash flow and financial position

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents at the end of June amounted to SEK 1,632 (819) million. Cash flow for the first six months amounted to SEK 357 (86) million. Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 834 (246) million. Working capital decreased and contributed SEK 426 million in positive cash flow during the first six months of the year, compared with a negative cash flow of SEK 152 million during the same period last year. The decrease in working capital is mainly attributable to an increase in advance payments from customers and lower trade receivables.

Investing activities generated a negative cash flow of SEK 86 million during the first six months, compared with a positive cash flow of SEK 120 million in the preceding year due to the divestment of AEi. Investments in tangible assets accounted for 54 (75) million and capitalization of product development for SEK 29 (20) million. Financing activities utilized SEK 391 (279) million, of which SEK 343 (294) million related to dividends to shareholders. At the end of June, Mycronic had a strong net cash position of SEK 1,395 (505) million.

Sustainability

As of 2024 reporting must be carried out in accordance with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). In preparation for this, an assessment of the company's sustainability reporting from 2022 was performed during the quarter. An analysis was also conducted of Mycronic's current reporting and processes compared with the requirements of CSRD. Preliminary results indicate that Mycronic is prepared to meet the future reporting requirements.

PATTERN GENERATORS MARKET AREA

PHOTOMASKS FOR DISPLAYS

In 2022, the market grew 24.4 percent, from USD 710 million to USD 883 million⁵,¹⁰. The positive trend is related to the general increase in demand for photomasks in 2022, since display manufacturers continued to develop new LCD and AMOLED displays at a good pace. The market is also driven by an ongoing shift towards a higher proportion of advanced displays that require more, and more advanced, photomasks. The expectations for 2023 are that the photomask market will grow by 0.8 percent to USD 890 million⁵,¹⁰. The forecast for the total area growth amounts to an average of 1.3 percent per year for 2022-2027⁵. Stronger growth for AMOLED photomasks is expected, with an annual average area growth of 2.8 percent for 2022-2027⁵, which drives the need for photomasks produced by advanced mask writers.

PHOTOMASKS FOR SEMICONDUCTORS

In 2022, the market showed significant growth of 18.3 percent, from USD 6.1 billion to USD 7.2 billion⁶. The market trend was strong, primarily driven by robust growth for the most advanced photomasks, although the market for mature design nodes addressed by laser-based mask writers was also positive. The expectations for 2023 are for a decline of 0.5 percent to USD 7.2 billion⁶. The decline compared with 2022 is primarily attributable to a temporary slowdown in growth for the most advanced segment. The market value will continue to be primarily driven by the volume trend for 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, 2022. 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 2022 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 2022 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.

NOTE 4 EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD

After the end of the period, two orders for one SLX mask writer each were received.
