Drunen, the Netherlands, February 7, 2006, BE Semiconductor Industries N.V.
("the Company" or "Besi") (Nasdaq: BESI; Euronext: BESI), a leading manufacturer
of assembly equipment for the semiconductor industry, today announced its
financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2005.
Besi's results for the fourth quarter 2005 and for the year ended December 31,
2005 include, since the date of acquisition, the results of its Datacon
Technology GmbH subsidiary ("Datacon") which the Company acquired on January 4,
2005. In order to facilitate a meaningful comparison of its 2005 results, Besi
has prepared comparative quarterly unaudited financial information for 2004 on a
pro forma basis to incorporate Datacon's results of operations as if the
transaction had occurred on January 1, 2004.
Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2005 were E 47.6 million, an increase of
10.4% as compared to net sales of E 43.1 million in the third quarter of 2005,
but a decrease of 4.8% as compared to pro forma net sales of E 50.0 million in
the fourth quarter of 2004. Net sales in the fourth quarter of 2005 increased by
54.0% as compared to actual reported net sales in the fourth quarter of 2004 of
E 30.9 million.
Besi's net income for the fourth quarter of 2005 was E 2.6 million, or E 0.08
per share, compared to net income of E 1.3 million, or E 0.04 per share, in the
third quarter of 2005 and a pro forma net loss for the fourth quarter of 2004 of
E 5.1 million, or E 0.15 per share. Besi's actual reported net loss for the
fourth quarter of 2004 amounted to E 5.7 million, or E 0.19 per share.
The 10.4% increase in net sales in the fourth quarter of 2005 as compared to the
third quarter was due primarily to significantly higher shipments of plating and
die bonding systems, partially offset by lower shipments of molding systems.
Sales for array connect and leadframe assembly applications increased by 4.2%
and 26.2%, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2005 as compared to the third
quarter of 2005.
Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2005 amounted to E 164.3 million, a
decrease of 15.4% as compared to pro forma net sales of E 194.3 million in 2004,
but an increase of 30.1% as compared to actual reported net sales in 2004.
Besi's net loss in 2005 was E 5.2 million, or E 0.16 per share, as compared to a
pro forma net loss of E 2.8 million, or E
0.08 per share, in 2004. Besi's actual reported net loss for 2004 amounted to E
5.4 million, or E 0.18 per share.
Net bookings for the fourth quarter of 2005 were E 49.0 million, an increase of
14.8% as compared to net bookings of E 42.7 million in the third quarter of 2005
and an increase of 50.8% compared to pro forma net bookings for the fourth
quarter of 2004 of E 32.5 million. Actual net bookings were E 17.6 million in
the fourth quarter of 2004. The increase in net bookings in the fourth quarter
of 2005 as compared to the third quarter of 2005 was due to a 23.1% increase in
orders for array connect applications, particularly die bonding, singulation and
die sorting systems. Net bookings for leadframe applications declined by 6.7% in
the fourth quarter of 2005 as compared to the third quarter of 2005 primarily as
a result of lower bookings for molding systems. From a customer perspective,
bookings growth in the fourth quarter of 2005 as compared to the third quarter
of 2005 resulted from a 73% increase in orders by assembly subcontractors.
Net bookings for 2005 amounted to E 170.2 million, a decrease of 10.1% compared
to pro forma net bookings in 2004 and an increase of 43.9% as compared to actual
net bookings in 2004. However, Besi's net bookings in the second half of 2005
increased by E 13.3 million, or 17% as compared to the first half of 2005
reflecting positive developments in semiconductor industry conditions and
increased customer orders for array connect assembly equipment.
Backlog at December 31, 2005 was E 56.8 million compared to E 55.4 million at
September 30, 2005 and E 50.9 million at December 31, 2004 on a pro forma basis.
Approximately 76% and 24%, respectively, of backlog at December 31, 2005 was for
array connect and leadframe assembly applications as compared to 62% and 38%,
respectively, of pro forma backlog at December 31, 2004. On an actual basis,
Besi's backlog was E 31.8 million at December 31, 2004. The book-to-bill ratio
was 1.03 in the fourth quarter of 2005 as compared to 0.99 for the third quarter
of 2005 and 0.65 on a pro forma basis for the fourth quarter of 2004. On an
actual basis, Besi's book-to-bill ratio was 0.57 in the fourth quarter of 2004.
Besi's gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2005 was 39.1% as compared to
37.3% for the third quarter of 2005 and 29.9% for the fourth quarter of 2004 on
a pro forma basis. The Company's actual gross margin was 22.8% in the fourth
quarter of 2004. The ongoing improvement in the Company's gross margin this year
reflects both the effects of restructuring efforts which commenced in the fourth
quarter of 2004 and continued during 2005 as well as cost benefits realized from
the Company's transition of certain equipment manufacturing and tooling
operations from the Netherlands to its Malaysian and Chinese operations. Besi's
gross margin improvement in the fourth quarter of 2005, as compared to the third
quarter of 2005, was due primarily to higher margins realized for array connect
applications, particularly die bonding and singulation systems and, to a lesser
extent, increased plating systems margins.
Besi's gross margin for the full year 2005 was 34.9%, including a 2.0% gross
margin deduction related to E 3.3 million of fair value inventory adjustments in
the opening balance sheet of Datacon, compared to 34.2% in 2004 on a pro forma
basis. Actual gross margin for 2004 was 30.1%.
Besi's operating expenses increased to E 15.5 million, or 32.6% of net sales, in
the fourth quarter of 2005, as compared to E 13.6 million, or 31.6% of net
sales, in the third quarter of 2005 due primarily to restructuring and
termination charges incurred at Datacon, as well as higher commission expense
related to higher plating systems sales. Operating expenses in the fourth
quarter of 2005 declined by E 6.8 million, or 30.5%, as compared to pro forma
operating expenses of E 22.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 primarily as
a result of significantly lower restructuring charges and, to a lesser extent,
lower research and development spending as a number of development projects near
completion. Actual operating expenses were E 15.9 million, or 51.6% of actual
net sales, in the fourth quarter of 2004.
For the full year 2005, Besi's total operating expenses declined by E 7.6
million, or 10.8% as compared to 2004 on a pro forma basis primarily as a result
of Besi's overhead reduction efforts as well as lower restructuring charges.
Between December 2004 and December 2005, total headcount, including temporary
personnel, declined by 145 people, or 11.3%.
Besi's operating income improved from E 2.5 million, or 5.8% of net sales, in
the third quarter of 2005 to E 3.1 million, or 6.5% of net sales, in the fourth
quarter of 2005, principally as a result of higher net sales and improved gross
margins partially offset by higher operating expenses. The Company's pro forma
operating loss in the fourth quarter of 2004 was E 7.3 million, or 14.6% of net
sales, and the actual operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2004 was E 8.9
million, or 28.8% of actual net sales. Besi's operating loss for 2005 was E 5.2
million as compared to E 3.7 million in 2004 on a pro forma basis. Besi's actual
reported operating loss for 2004 was E 9.7 million.
At December 31, 2005, cash and cash equivalents were E 73.0 million as compared
to E 60.3 million at September 30, 2005. The E 12.7 million increase in cash and
cash equivalents in the fourth quarter of 2005 resulted primarily from E 15.7
million of cash flow generated from operations, of which E 11.1 million
represented a reduction in working capital requirements, principally a reduction
of inventories and receivable days outstanding, and E 2.6 million reflected
positive net income contribution during the quarter. Cash requirements during
the fourth quarter of 2005 related primarily to capital expenditures of E 0.9
million and a net reduction in indebtedness of E 2.2 million.
COMMENTS
Richard W. Blickman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
commented: "We are pleased to report that Besi's turnaround continued in the
fourth quarter of 2005 as we recorded another quarter of sequential improvement
in sales, bookings and net income. We have experienced an excellent second half
year of 2005 as measured by a 17% increase in bookings and 23% increase in
shipments as compared to the first half of 2005. In particular, we have
benefited from a substantial increase in bookings for our array connect
products, most notably die bonding equipment and singulation systems, which had
increases of 37.6% and 91.7%, respectively, in the second half of 2005 as
compared to the first half year. Our sales and bookings in the second half of
2005 were also positively influenced by improved industry conditions as capacity
utilization rates increased at customer sites and capital spending was released
for new product development.
We are encouraged that we generated E 3.9 million of net income in the second
half of 2005 as compared to E 9.1 million of net losses incurred in the first
half of the year as we restructured our business, integrated Datacon's
operations and the semiconductor industry exhibited signs of recovery. Our
profitability over the past two quarters was aided by continued improvement in
our gross margins as we benefited both from cost reductions realized from the
restructuring of our operations, the reduction of our higher cost European
workforce by 20% during 2005 and the transfer of certain system and tooling
operations to our Malaysian and Chinese operations. In addition, we experienced
an increased percentage of array connect product sales in our overall product
mix that carry higher gross margins than our leadframe assembly sales as
customers expand their purchases of this advanced assembly process.
Similarly, our efforts to reduce overhead costs continue as we seek
opportunities to make our operations more efficient. The restructuring of
Datacon's German operations in the fourth quarter of 2005 is another example of
potential production efficiencies that we anticipate realizing next year. We
were also able to increase our cash by E 12.7 million in the fourth quarter as
compared to the third quarter, exceeding our forecast, through better management
of inventories and receivables."
OUTLOOK
Besi expects that, based on current backlog and customer shipment schedules, its
net sales will decrease by approximately 5-10% in the first quarter of 2006 as
compared to the fourth quarter of 2005 primarily as a result of (i) lower
anticipated shipments of systems for leadframe assembly applications and (ii)
the scheduled shipment of a significant portion of fourth quarter 2005 bookings
in the second quarter of 2006. Besi anticipates that bookings levels in the
first quarter of 2006 will be roughly equivalent to order levels experienced in
the fourth quarter of 2005 based on the level of orders received so far this
quarter and current customer quotation activity.
Besi also expects that its gross margins will decrease to a range of between
36-38% in the first quarter of 2006 due to the shipment of certain customer
specific molding and die bonding orders with low gross margins in the quarter.
Besi expects that operating expenses for the first quarter of 2006 will decrease
by approximately 5-10% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2005 primarily due
to the absence of restructuring and termination charges. Besi anticipates that
its capital spending in the first quarter of 2006 will be approximately E 1.0
million.
