DUIVEN, the Netherlands, April 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BE Semiconductor Industries N.V. (the “Company” or “Besi”) (Euronext Amsterdam: BESI; OTC markets: BESIY), a leading manufacturer of assembly equipment for the semiconductor industry, today announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.
Key Highlights
- Revenue of € 133.4 million down 3.1% vs. Q4-22 due primarily to lower shipments for computing and automotive end-user markets from IDMs and Asian subcontractors. Down 34.1% vs. Q1-22 due to industry downcycle with particular weakness in computing end-user markets
- Orders of € 142.0 million down 21.3% vs. Q4-22 principally as a result of lower mobile and, to a lesser extent, computing bookings from IDMs and Asian subcontractors. Vs. Q1-22, orders decreased 30.7% due primarily to broad weakness in computing end-user markets
- Gross margin of 64.2% rose 1.9 points vs. Q4-22 and 4.1 points vs. Q1-22 principally due to a more favorable product mix, positive net forex influences and cost reduction initiatives
- Net income of € 34.5 million down 14.2% vs. Q4-22 primarily due to higher share-based incentive compensation. Down 48.9% vs. Q1-22 reflecting broad based industry weakness and increased R&D spending. Ex share-based incentive compensation, net income reached € 43.0 million vs. € 42.3 million in Q4-22 and € 75.5 million in Q1-22
- Net margin of 25.9% vs. 29.2% in Q4-22 and 33.4% in Q1-22. Ex share-based incentive compensation, net margin realized of 32.2% vs. 30.7% in Q4-22 and 37.3% in Q1-22
- Cash and deposits of € 644.9 million and net cash of € 325.8 million decreased 7.4% and 20.0%, respectively, vs. Q1-22 due to significantly increased capital allocation to shareholders
Outlook
- Q2-23 revenue anticipated to increase 15-25% vs. Q1-23 with gross margins in a range of 62%-64%

Richard W. Blickman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Besi, commented:
“Besi’s first quarter results were within guidance in an industry downturn with gross margin exceeding guidance. Revenue of € 133.4 million decreased by 3.1% versus Q4-22 primarily reflecting general weakness in high-end and mainstream computing markets from both IDMs and Asian subcontractors and a temporary reduction in shipments for automotive applications. Such adverse influences were partially offset by increased shipments for high-end smartphone applications. On a year over year basis, revenue this quarter declined by 34.1% reflecting the impact of the current downturn on Besi’s business. In addition, demand from Chinese customers remained weak representing approximately 27% of total revenue this quarter.
“Besi’s profitability was solid in Q1-23 with gross margins reaching 64.2% due primarily to the current product mix and cost control efforts. Operating income of € 41.7 million exceeded the midpoint of guidance. Excluding share based compensation expense, Besi’s net income and net margin were € 43.0 million and 32.2% this quarter versus € 42.3 million and 30.7% recorded in Q4-22 despite lower revenue levels. In fact, our financial performance has significantly improved at this point of the industry downcycle as measured by a comparison of Besi’s results for the latest twelve months ending March 31, 2023 versus the comparable period ending March 31, 2019 with revenue, orders and operating profit increasing by 44.7%, 66.5% and 82.7%, respectively.
“Our financial position remained solid at quarter end with cash and deposits and net cash of € 644.9 million and € 325.8 million, respectively. In addition, cash flow from operations increased to € 61.4 million in Q1-23, up 36.4% versus Q1-22. During the quarter, we repurchased € 77.8 million of our shares bringing total purchases to € 174.1 million since the August 2022 initiation of our € 300 million share repurchase program.
“Order trends in Q1-23 reflect both the negative effects of the current industry downturn and the favorable prospects for Besi’s wafer level assembly portfolio. For the quarter, orders of € 142.0 million declined by 21.3% versus Q4-22 primarily due to the pull-forward of some high-end smartphone bookings into Q4-22 and, to a lesser extent, decreased orders for mainstream computing and hybrid bonding applications. Orders for smartphone applications for the most recent two quarters significantly exceeded those for the comparable period of the prior year but were less than previously anticipated. Demand for automotive applications improved in Q1-23 versus both Q4-22 and Q1-22. We received a € 10.5 million order from a Chinese subcontractor subsequent to quarter end for automotive applications indicating ongoing strength in this end-user market.
“Bookings this quarter also included orders for multiple hybrid bonding systems with follow on orders anticipated in Q2-23 from multiple customers, including two new customers. Progress in hybrid bonding and other wafer level assembly adoption continues apace with increased interest received from the development community and customers primarily for data center, mobile and memory applications. In addition, the first order for a TCB chip to wafer system was received subsequent to quarter end from a US customer.
“The assembly equipment market outlook for 2023 remains negative as we work through the current industry downturn. Analysts have further lowered market estimates for this year but forecast a renewed upturn starting in the second half of 2023. We are prepared for various scenarios with a highly flexible production model and strategic intiatives in place to enhance profitability regardless of the industry direction. In the interim, we continue our investment in R&D programs and service/support in preparation for the next upturn and the significant projected growth of our wafer level assembly portfolio over the next three to five years.
“For Q2-23, we forecast that revenue will increase by 15%-25% versus Q1-23 with gross margins of 62%-64% due to our projected product mix. Operating expenses are forecasted to decrease by 0-5% versus Q1-23.”

Besi’s Q1-23 revenue of € 133.4 million declined 3.1% versus Q4-22 and was at the midpoint of prior guidance. The decrease was primarily due to lower shipments for computing and automotive end-user markets from IDMs and Asian subcontractors partially offset by increased shipments for high-end smartphone applications. Versus Q1-22, revenue decreased by 34.1% reflecting adverse industry conditions generally and particular weakness in computing end-user markets from IDMs and Asian subcontractors partially offset by higher shipments for mobile applications.
Orders of € 142.0 million decreased 21.3% versus Q4-22 primarily due to the pull-forward of some high-end smartphone bookings into Q4-22 and, to a lesser extent, decreased orders for mainstream computing and hybrid bonding applications. Versus Q1-22, orders decreased by 30.7% principally as a result of lower bookings for high-end and mainstream computing applications by IDMs and Asian subcontractors. Per customer type, IDM orders decreased € 24.2 million, or 24.6%, versus Q4-22 and represented 52% of total orders for the period. Subcontractor orders decreased by € 14.3 million, or 17.4%, versus Q4-22 and represented 48% of total orders.

* Excluding share-based compensation expense, operating expenses would have been € 34.7 million, € 35.0 million and € 31.3 million in Q1-23, Q4-22 and Q1-22, respectively.
Besi’s gross margin rose to 64.2%, an increase of 1.9 points and 4.1 points versus Q4-22 and Q1-22, respectively, and exceeded prior guidance. Gross margin development this quarter benefited from (i) a more favorable product mix, (ii) positive net forex influences, particularly versus Q1-22 and (iii) cost reduction initiatives.
Q1-23 operating expenses rose by € 6.9 million, or 18.6%, versus Q4-22 due to a € 7.2 million increase of share-based incentive compensation. Versus Q1-22, operating expenses rose by € 4.1 million, or 10.3%, due primarily to € 2.4 million of increased R&D spending for next generation wafer level assembly systems as well as higher marketing and technical support costs related thereto. Excluding share based compensation expense, operating expenses represented 26.0% of revenue in Q1-23 versus 25.4% in Q4-22 and 15.5% in Q1-22.
Financial expense, net, decreased by € 2.1 million and € 2.2 million versus Q4-22 and Q1-22, respectively, primarily as a result of increased interest income earned on cash balances outstanding.

Besi’s Q1-23 net income of € 34.5 million decreased € 5.7 million, or 14.2%, versus Q4-22. The profit reduction was primarily due to a € 7.2 million increase in share-based incentive compensation and a higher effective tax rate partially offset by improved gross margins and lower net financial expense. Versus Q1-22, net income decreased by € 33.0 million, or 48.9%, principally as a result of a 34.1% revenue decrease and increased R&D spending partially offset by increased gross margins and lower net financial expense.

Besi’s net cash of € 325.8 million at the end of Q1-23 decreased by € 20.7 million (-6.0%) versus year end and by € 81.2 million (-20.0%) versus Q1-22. Net cash development was positively influenced by the conversion of € 7.9 million of Besi’s 2024 Convertible Notes during the quarter. An additional € 13.0 million of 2023 Convertible Notes and 2024 Convertible Notes were converted in April 2023, resulting in a reduction of their principal balances to € 0.6 million and € 13.4 million, respectively.
Share Repurchase Activity
During the quarter, Besi repurchased approximately 1.1 million of its ordinary shares at an average price of € 69.37 per share for a total of € 77.8 million.
