MEMSCAP First Half 2017 Earnings: Sustained Sales Growth of 9% in the Aerospace Segment Representing 54% of the HY 2017 Consolidated Sales

Regulatory News:

Memscap (Paris:MEMS) (NYSE Euronext: MEMS), the leading provider of innovative solutions based on MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) technology, announced today its earnings for the first half of 2017, ending June 30, 2017.

Revenue and consolidated earnings for the first half of 2017

In accordance with the figures given in the first and second quarter press releases, consolidated revenue for the first half of 2017 amounted to € 5.7 million (US$ 6.2 million) compared to € 5.6 million (US$ 6.3 million) for the first half of 2016. During the first half of 2017, the Group has kept on benefiting from a steady sales growth in the aerospace segment, a sales increase of more than 9% compared to the first half of 2016. This segment now accounts for 54% of consolidated sales in the first half of 2017.

Consolidated revenue distribution by market segment over the first half of 2017 is as follows:

Market Segments   Revenue (M€)   %
Aerospace   3.1   54%
Optical Communications / Adaptive Optics 1.1 20%
Medical / Biomedical 1.1 19%
Mass Market / Other Applications 0.4 7%
Total   5.7   100%

(Any apparent discrepancies in totals are due to rounding.)

MEMSCAP consolidated earnings for the first half of 2017 are given by the following table:

In line with its sales strategy, the Group has focused its development in high-value-added markets, such as aerospace, medical / biomedical and optical communications. During the first half of 2017, strong sales in the aerospace and medical sectors compensated for the temporary weakness in demand in the optical communications segment operated by the Group's US subsidiary.

The reduction of the consolidated gross margin for the first half of 2017 was directly linked to the evolution of the activity of the Custom Products division. Gross margin stood at € 1.5 million, representing 27% of consolidated revenue, compared to € 1.9 million for the first half of 2016, representing 33% of consolidated revenue.

Operating expenses (net of research and development grants) amounted to € 2.1 million for the first half of 2017, compared to € 1.9 million in the first half of 2016, and led to an operating loss of € 0.6 million compared to an operating loss of € 0.1 million for the first half of 2016.

Net financial costs were non-significant for the first half of 2017 versus a net financial gain of € 0.1 million for the first half of 2016. The income tax expense for the first half of 2017 corresponded to the variation of the deferred income tax over the period, with no impact on the Group's cash position.

The Group thus posted a consolidated net loss of € 0.6 million versus consolidated net earnings at break-even point over the first half of 2016.

Evolution of the Group’s net cash / Consolidated shareholders’ equity

At June 30, 2017, the Group reported available liquidities at € 3.6 million (December 31, 2016: € 4.2 million) including cash investments for € 1.4 million (Corporate bonds) recorded under financial assets available for sale and cash and short-term deposits for € 2.2 million. Consolidated net cash minus financial liabilities stood at € 2.5 million (December 31, 2016: € 2.8 million).

MEMSCAP shareholders’ equity totaled € 17.5 million at June 30, 2017 compared to € 18.6 million by end of December 2016.

Analysis and perspectives

As previously announced, MEMSCAP has initiated in 2017 the transformation of its industrial organization in order to increase significantly the flexibility of the Group's production capacities. This program is progressing according to the Company’s plans. In line with its strategy focused on the high-added-value segments of aerospace, medical and optical communications, the Group is continuing its disengagement from low-margin services in favor of the development of its activities backed by its own intellectual property.

Though this evolution impacts the profitability of MEMSCAP at the beginning of the financial year 2017, it should enable the Group to benefit from a marked increase in its margin levels over the coming years.
