German LED equipment manufacturer AIXTRON said in its earnings report that it will reduce its revenue in Q4 (2011) by 38% (56% quarter-on-quarter) to 140.1 million euros; the pre-tax earnings before interest (EBIT/earnings) will be 8,600 in the same period of the previous year. 10,000 euros was converted to -16.9 million euros (previous season was 600,000 euros); the operating rate was reduced by 50 percentage points to -12% (previous quarter was 1%); gross profit margin decreased by 44 percentage points to 8% (previous quarter) 43%). Total revenue for the year shrank 22% to 611 million euros, and the profit decreased by 59% to 112.9 million euros. The gross profit margin fell 15 percentage points to 38%.
Looking forward to this year, AIXTRON said that the current order visibility is extremely limited. The market situation at the end of last year may last until the first half of this year. Therefore, setting the financial target is much more difficult than in previous years, but it is expected that the profit will remain positive. AIXTRON believes that this year is the transition period of the LED investment cycle, and revenue may decrease.
AIXTRON said that due to the sharp decrease in orders received in the second half of the year, the total number of orders received in the previous year reached 513.4 million euros, a decline of 31%; the backlog of orders at the end of the year reached 141 million euros, a decrease of 49%.
