Revenues for MBE systems came to €7.2 million, down -19% from 2016 due to a lower level of billing. In 2017, five machines, including two production units, were billed, versus six machines,
including two production units, in 2016.

Revenues for services and accessories climbed 56% to €7.2 million, supported by the reactivation of production capacity by industrial customers.
