The earnings call presented a mixed outlook with positive developments in sales performance and cost management, but significant challenges remain in terms of order intake, margin pressure, and cash flow. The company is optimistic about future orders and new product launches, but current figures indicate areas of concern.

Company Guidance

In the recent conference call, SUSS MicroTec SE provided guidance for its financial performance, highlighting several key metrics. The company reported a low order intake of EUR 70 million in Q3 but anticipates orders exceeding EUR 100 million in Q4. Year-to-date sales reached EUR 384 million, or 78% of the midpoint of their sales forecast, with a Q3 sales figure of EUR 118 million. For Q4, sales are expected to range between EUR 85 million and EUR 125 million to meet their annual forecast. The current gross profit margin stands at 31.7%, impacted by an unfavorable product mix, while the EBIT margin has been adjusted following cost management efforts. The order book at the end of September was EUR 276.1 million, down 35.9% from the previous year. Free cash flow for the first three quarters was negative EUR 28.2 million, with expectations to end the year slightly positive. SUSS anticipates a CapEx level of EUR 25 million for the year, driven mainly by their new facility in Taiwan. The company remains optimistic about future growth and improving its cost structure, with details to be discussed at their Capital Markets Day on November 17.
