2019 first-half revenues

  • “Systems” and “services” revenue growth partially offsetting the limited contribution by evaporators
  • Order book maintained at a high level
  • Full-year revenue growth forecast for 2019

Bezons, July 30, 2019 – 6:00pm – RIBER, a global market leader for semiconductor industry equipment, is reporting its revenues for the first half of 2019.

Business developments

Change
Systems 8,6 3,7 + 132 %
Evaporators 1,0 10,4 – 90 %
Services and accessories 4,3 2,6 + 65 %
Total reported revenues 13,9 16,7 – 17 %

Revenues for the first half of 2019 came to €13.9m, down 17% from the first half of 2018, due to the strong cyclical decline in evaporator sales.

Half-year revenues for MBE systems climbed to €8.6m, versus €3.7m for the first half of 2018, up +132%, reflecting this activity’s robust development. Four production machines were delivered during the halfyear period, compared with one production machine and three research machines in the first half of 2018.

For evaporators, half-year revenues totaled €1m, compared with €10.4m over the same period in 2018. This sharp decline is linked to the freeze on investments in OLED screen production equipment following the major investments made in previous years.

Half-year revenues for services and accessories came to €4.3m, compared with €2.6m for the first half of 2018, up +65% in line with the development strategy for this strong contributive business.
