“The market for semiconductor 300mm capital equipment, our largest source of revenue for the past several years, virtually came to a stop in the first quarter of 2009. Customer shipments of 300mm equipment decreased more than 95% year-over-year. Fortunately, our efforts to promote the use of SEMI Standards in other markets, particularlythe solar-photovoltaic market, as well as our commitment to serving customers in Europe and Japan, have both contributed to an increase in Company revenue quarter-over-quarter.” saidBob Reback, Cimetrix’s president and chief executive officer.
Further, Mr. Reback added, “We have taken appropriate steps to seek break-even cash flow despite the reduced revenue rate of the last two quarters. Despite the challenging business environment, we have retained all of our key employees and are vigorously pursuing new business opportunities.
Mr. Reback concluded, “Although there is a long way to go before 300mm shipments return to any type of reasonably sustainable levels for many of our customers, we are hopeful that easing economic conditions will result in an upward trend from recent levels. Once the semiconductor capital equipment market recovers, we expect to be well positioned for generating strong profits during the next up cycle.”
Highlights
