SUSS MICROTEC Q3 2022 – SUMMARY


Key Figures:
- Another quarter with record order entry of € 142.5 million
- Revenue slightly up even though facing ongoing supply chain challenges
- EBIT margin decreased to 8.4 % (previous year: 13.9%) due to higher material and personnel costs as well as the product mix
- Positive free cash flow of € 11.3 million due to higher prepayments (previous year: € -1.8 million)
Q3 Business Highlights:
- Demand remains strong across all SUSS MicroTec segments, with strongest OE growth for Photomask Equipment and Bonder segments
- Revenue still negatively impacted by ongoing supply chain bottlenecks:
- Tools with a value of about € 16 million were delivered but not recognized as sales in Q3 2022 due to missing parts or functionality
- Tools worth approx. € 5 million are assembled, but delivery is outstanding

PROFITABLITY IMPACTED BY SUPPLY CHAIN BOTTLENECKS




-
- Q3 2021 EBIT included a positive oneoff effect of € 1.5 million due to a reversal of a write-off for two UVscanners
-
- 9M EBIT decreased by € 6.7 million vs. 2021 mainly caused by a lower Gross Profit margin, overall higher R&D spending, more Selling and Marketing expenses and a negative FX effect in 2022
FREE CASH FLOW IMPROVED DESPITE GROWING INVENTORIES


Comments:
-
- Increasing inventory level due to supply chain bottlenecks and long lead times
-
- Operating CF improved mainly due to higher down payments (partly offset by build-up of safety stock & work in progress)
-
- Improvement of FCF and Net Cash
-
- Financial headroom: € 102m (thereof undrawn syndicated loan of € 40m)
GUIDANCE 2022 AND OUTLOOK


€ 270M - 300M (lower part of range)
8.5 - 10.5% (lower end of range) € -5M to +5M
- 2022 results impacted by supply chain bottlenecks
- With ongoing supply chain challenges, growth path shows incremental & temporary delay, not fundamental slow-down (as shown by strong OE)
- Guidance bandwidth narrowed: sales at lower part of range and EBIT at lower end of range expected
- Expect further top- and bottom-line growth to at least € 400 million in 2025, with 15% EBIT margin (unchanged)
