Revenue and Net Income of € 81.4 Million and € 9.5 Million, Respectively
Solid Performance in Challenging Market
DUIVEN, the Netherlands, April 26, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BE Semiconductor Industries N.V. (the “Company" or "Besi") (Euronext Amsterdam: BESI; OTC markets: BESIY, Nasdaq International Designation), a leading manufacturer of assembly equipment for the semiconductor industry, today announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.
Key Highlights
- Revenue of € 81.4 million is down 12.0% vs. Q4-18. Better than guidance (-15%). Down 47.4% vs. Q1-18 due to adverse impact of industry downturn on Besi’s principal end user application markets
- Orders of € 83.4 million, up 0.4% vs. Q4-18 as customer demand stabilizes. Down 59.5% vs. Q1-18
- Gross margin of 55.9% remains at attractive levels despite significantly lower revenue vs. Q4-18 and Q1-18 reflecting alignment of production overhead with current demand. At midpoint of guidance
- Net income of € 9.5 million, down € 13.2 million vs. Q4-18 primarily due to 12% revenue decrease and, as anticipated, higher share based compensation expense. Down € 27.6 million (-74.4%) vs. Q1-18
- Net cash and deposits increase by € 30.3 million (+15.2%) vs. December 31, 2018 to reach € 229.7 million as solid quarterly cash generation continues
Outlook
- Q2-19 revenue expected to increase by approximately 5% vs. Q1-19 reflecting more stable market conditions. Gross margin anticipated to remain in 55%-57% range
(€ millions, except EPS) | Q1-2019 | Q4-2018 | Δ | Q1-2018 | Δ |
Revenue | 81.4 | 92.5 | -12.0% | 154.9 | -47.4% |
Orders | 83.4 | 83.1 | +0.4% | 205.8 | -59.5% |

Richard W. Blickman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Besi, commented:
“Besi reported solid results for Q1-19 with revenue and operating profit exceeding expectations. After three consecutive quarters of sequential revenue decreases, customer demand appeared to stabilize. As such, orders were up by 0.4% versus Q4-18 as we saw a modest uptick in bookings by Asian subcontractors and in orders for certain multi-chip die bonding applications.
Profit metrics and cash flow generation also remained healthy in this difficult market environment. Besi’s gross margin held up well at 55.9% versus 56.4% in Q4-18 and 56.5% in Q1-18 in the face of revenue decreases of 12.0% and 47.4%, respectively. The maintenance of gross margin levels above 55% during this down cycle has been accomplished by tight controls of production labor, materials, and supply chain activities in alignment with order activity. In addition, we have made significant progress in reducing SG&A overhead to aid profitability, both in headcount and other operating expenses. As a result, baseline operating expenses declined to € 25.3 million in Q1-19, a 1.6% decrease versus Q4-18 and a 20.2% decrease as compared to the last peak in Q1-18. Further, net cash increased by € 30.3 million, or 15.2%, versus Q4-18, even after share repurchases of € 12.8 million during the quarter.
Besi’s strategic agenda for 2019 focuses primarily on maintaining attractive levels of profitability and cash flow generation during this downturn while we prepare for the next customer investment round. Accordingly, we continue to push structural overhead cost reduction while increasing development spending and headcount for targeted customer road maps. Particular areas of R&D focus include TCB, wafer level processing and 5G enabled devices for next generation applications in our principal end user markets.
For Q2-19, Besi estimates that revenue will grow by approximately 5% vs. Q1-19 and for operating profit to modestly exceed Q1-19 levels in an assembly equipment market that remains challenging. Further, semiconductor inventories have not yet reduced sufficiently to generate large additions to assembly capacity. As such, we remain cautious as to the industry trajectory in the near term. However, when the cycle turns, Besi is well positioned to generate further revenue and share gains from its advanced packaging portfolio and to achieve attractive levels of financial performance from its highly scalable business model.”
First Quarter Results of Operations
Q1-2019 | Q4-2018 | Δ | Q1-2018 | Δ | |||
Revenue | 81.4 | 92.5 | -12.0% | 154.9 | -47.4% | ||
Orders | 83.4 | 83.1 | +0.4% | 205.8 | -59.5% | ||
Book to Bill Ratio | 1.0x | 0.9x | +0.1 | 1.3x | -0.3 |
Besi’s Q1-19 revenue decreased by 12.0% vs. Q4-18 and was better than guidance due to higher than anticipated die bonding shipments. Revenue decreased by 47.4% vs. Q1-18 due primarily to (i) lower die bonding shipments for high end mobile capacity following significant customer investment in 2017 and 2018 and, to a lesser extent, (ii) lower shipments for computing and automotive applications. In both comparative periods, the revenue decrease was broad based and consistent with the industry downturn that began at the end of Q2-2018.
Orders of € 83.4 million increased slightly versus Q4-18 as customer demand stabilized. Per customer type, subcontractor orders increased sequentially by € 7.6 million, or 41.4% vs. Q4-18 due to an uptick in bookings by Asian subcontractors. In contrast, IDM orders decreased by € 7.3 million, or 11.2%. IDM and subcontractor orders represented 69% and 31%, respectively, of total Q1-19 orders vs. 54% and 46%, respectively, in Q1-18.
Q1-2019 | Q4-2018 | Δ | Q1-2018 | Δ | |
Gross Margin | 55.9% | 56.4% | -0.5 | 56.5% | -0.6 |
Operating Expenses | 30.7 | 25.9 | +18.5% | 39.1 | -21.5% |
Financial Expense, net | 3.9 | 4.2 | -7.1% | 4.3 | -9.3% |
EBITDA | 19.7 | 30.5 | -35.4% | 52.0 | -62.1% |
Besi’s gross margin in Q1-19 decreased by 0.5 points vs. Q4-18 and by 0.6 points vs. Q1-18 due primarily to significantly lower revenue levels partly offset by lower labor, materials and supply chain activities to help compensate for decreased customer demand. Versus Q1-18, gross margin also benefited from positive forex influences from a stronger USD vs. the euro.
Q1-19 operating expenses increased by € 4.8 million (+18.5%) vs. Q4-18 due to (i) higher share based compensation expense, as anticipated, associated with Besi’s 2018 performance and (ii) the absence in Q1-19 of favorable one-time, year-end recordings in Q4-18. Excluding variable compensation, restructuring, forex effect and one-time benefits/charges, estimated baseline operating expenses decreased from € 25.7 million in Q4-18 to € 25.3 million in Q1-19 due primarily to lower headcount levels and other operating expenses. Total headcount at March 31, 2019 decreased by 3.6% (-64 employees) vs. December 31, 2018 as Besi continued to align staffing levels with customer demand. Operating expenses decreased by € 8.4 million (-21.5%) vs. Q1-18 primarily due to a € 3.4 million decrease in share based compensation expense, reduced personnel costs and lower variable sales related costs such as warranty, freight and commissions. In addition, total headcount at March 31, 2019 decreased by 20.7% (-442 employees) vs. March 31, 2018.
Financial expense, net decreased by € 0.3 million vs. Q4-18 and by € 0.4 million vs. Q1-18 due primarily to lower hedging costs related to decreased sales volume.
Q1-2019 | Q4-2018 | Δ | Q1-2018 | Δ | |
Net Income | 9.5 | 22.7 | -58.1% | 37.1 | -74.4% |
Net Margin | 11.6% | 24.5% | -12.9 | 24.0% | -12.4 |
Tax Rate | 12.5% | -2.9% | +15.4 | 16.3% | -3.8 |
Besi’s Q1-19 net income declined by € 13.2 million vs. Q4-18 due to (i) lower revenue levels, (ii) higher share based compensation expense, (iii) the absence in Q1-19 of favorable one-time, year-end recordings and (iv) a net tax benefit realized in Q4-18. As compared to Q1-18, net income decreased by € 27.6 million (-74.4%) due primarily to the 47.4% year over year revenue decrease.
Financial Condition
Q1-2019 | Q4-2018 | Δ | Q1-2018 | Δ | |
Net Cash | 229.7 | 199.4 | +15.2% | 290.1 | -20.8% |
Cash flow from Ops. | 47.8 | 56.6 | -15.5% | 54.9 | -12.9% |
Besi’s net cash rose to € 229.7 million at the end of Q1-19, an increase of € 30.3 million, or 15.2%, vs. the end of Q4-18. The Company generated cash flow from operations of € 47.8 million in Q1-19 which was utilized primarily to fund (i) € 12.8 million of share repurchases, (ii) € 2.9 million of capitalized development spending and (iii) € 0.6 million of capital expenditures.
During the quarter, Besi repurchased 597,463 of its ordinary shares at an average price of € 21.49 per share for a total of € 12.8 million. Cumulatively, as of March 31, 2019, a total of 1.8 million shares have been purchased under the current € 75 million share repurchase program (which started July 26, 2018) at an average price of € 19.36 per share for a total of € 35.3 million.
Outlook
Based on its March 31, 2019 order backlog and feedback from customers, Besi forecasts for Q2-19 that:
- Revenue will increase by approximately 5% vs. the € 81.4 million reported in Q1-19.
- Gross margin will range between 55%-57% vs. the 55.9% realized in Q1-19.
- Operating expenses will decrease by approximately 5% vs. the € 30.7 million reported in Q1-19.
Investor and media conference call

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the European Union. Reference is made to the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as included in our 2018 Annual Report which is available on www.besi.com
Besi has adopted IFRS 16 “Leases” as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach and therefore did not restate prior years presented upon adoption in 2019. The most significant change in our accounting policy is the recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. As of January 1, 2019 we recognized € 14.2 million of right of use assets (€ 13.4 million as at March 31, 2019), and € 14.2 million of lease liabilities (€ 13.4 million as at March 31, 2019 of which € 10.0 million was recorded under lease liabilities and € 3.4 million under other current liabilities).
The adoption of IFRS 16 had a positive impact on our cash flows from operating activities and EBITDA of approximately € 0.9 million in Q1-19 with an offsetting negative cash flow effect under financing activities.
