Net sales for the first quarter 2015 were €162 million, an increase with 30% compared to the previous quarter. Year-on-year net sales increased with 7%.

New orders at €158 million were 3% above the Q4 2014 level.

Normalized net earnings for the first quarter 2015 increased by €40 million compared to the fourth quarter 2014, mainly due to a more than doubling of the operating result and a €20 million higher currency effect on cash held in foreign currencies, especially US dollar. The result from investments increased with €4 million.

COMMENT
Commenting on the results, Chuck del Prado, President and Chief Executive Officer of ASM International said:
"2015 started strongly for ASMI. We realized revenues of €162 million, 30% above the Q4 level, with again a gross margin of above 43%. (PE)ALD demand remained strong across a broad customer base. Our order intake remained healthy and was with €158 million at the high end of our expected range."


OUTLOOK
On a currency comparable level we expect Q2 sales to be between €180 and €200 million, while the Q2 order intake is expected to be in the range of €160-180 million. For the second half of 2015 the current visibility remains limited.


SHARE BUYBACK PROGRAM
On October 29, 2014, ASMI announced a share buyback program, to purchase up to an amount of €100 million of its own shares within the 2014-2015 time frame. On March 31, 2015 of the total program 60% has been repurchased of which 31% was repurchased in Q1 2015. Further details as well as a weekly update of the share repurchases under this program can be found on our website (www.asm.com/investors).

Net sales for the first quarter 2015 increased by 30% compared to the previous quarter and by 7% year-on-year, mainly driven by higher (PE)ALD. The impact of currency changes was an increase of 5% quarter to quarter and an increase of 9% year-on-year.

The gross profit margin in the first quarter was stable on a level of 43.3% (Q4 2014: 43.0%). For Q1 2014 gross profit margin as a percentage of sales was 43.7%. The impact of currency changes on gross profit was an increase of 5% quarter to quarter and an increase of 9% year-on-year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 1% compared to the previous quarter. As a percentage of sales SG&A expenses were 13% (Q4 2014: 17%, Q1 2014: 13%). The impact of currency changes on SG&A expenses was an increase of 4% quarter to quarter and an increase of 8% year-on-year.

Research and development expenses increased with 10% compared to the previous quarter. As a percentage of sales R&D expenses were 13%, compared to 15% for the previous quarter. For the first quarter of 2014 this was 9%. The impact of currency changes on R&D expenses was an increase of 6% quarter to quarter and an increase of 11% year-on-year.

Financing costs are mainly related to translation results. A substantial part of ASMI's cash position is denominated in US dollar. Currency changes, mainly between US dollar and Euro, during Q1 resulted in a translation gain of €28 million compared to a gain of €8 million in the previous quarter.

Result from investments includes our 40% share in net earnings of ASMPT. In Q1 ASMPT showed a sales decrease of 11% compared to the previous quarter, from HK$3,446 million to HK$3,056 million. Sales were 23% above the level of Q1, 2014 of HK$2,493 million. Net earnings, on a 100% basis, increased from €23 million (excluding one-offs €45 million) in the previous quarter to €34 million in Q1, 2015. Q1 last year, also on a 100% basis, showed net profit at €14 million.

The amortization of the recognized intangible assets and the depreciation of the fair value adjustment for property, plant & equipment negatively impacted net earnings with €6.6 million in Q1. For the full year of 2015 this amortization and depreciation amounted to€26.5 million. For the year 2016, on a currency comparable basis, this amount will remain at the same level.

(1) The calculation of diluted net earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in earnings of the Company. Only instruments that have a dilutive effect on net earnings are included in the calculation. The assumed conversion results in adjustment in the weighted average number of common shares and net earnings due to the related impact on interest expense. The calculation is done for each reporting period individually. The possible increase of common shares caused by employee stock options for the three month ended March 31, 2015 with 870,027 common shares, adjustments have been reflected in the diluted weighted average number of shares and net earnings per share for this period.
 
 
 
Amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand euro; therefore amounts may not equal (sub) totals due to rounding.

RECONCILIATION US GAAP - IFRS
Accounting principles under IFRS
 
 
 
 
 
ASMI’s primary consolidated financial statements are and will continue to be prepared in accordance with US GAAP. However, ASMI is required under Dutch law to report its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). As a result of the differences between IFRS and US GAAP that are applicable to ASMI, the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheet reported in accordance with IFRS differ from those reported in accordance with US GAAP. The major differences relate to development costs, goodwill, inventory obsolescence reserve, debt issuance fees and pension plans.
The reconciliation between IFRS and US GAAP is as follows:
