AIXTRON SE revises 2015 revenue guidance to a new range of EUR 190m to 200m / H2/15 EBITDA break-even target reiterated

Herzogenrath, Germany, October 13, 2015 - AIXTRON SE (ISIN DE000A0WMPJ6), a worldwide leading provider of deposition equipment to the semiconductor industry, announced today the revision of its revenue guidance for the full year 2015. This is due to a postponement of shipments to a large Chinese customer which were planned for delivery in 2015. These deliveries are now expected for 2016 depending on the progress of the ongoing milestone based qualification process.

New 2015 full year revenue guidance
Following the above mentioned postponement of shipments as well as the consideration of current opportunities and risks, the revised 2015 full year revenue guidance is now expected to be in the range of EUR 190 to 200 million (original revenue guidance: EUR 220m to 250m). The guidance to reach EBITDA break-even within the second half of 2015 is reiterated. The guidance is based on the USD/EUR exchange rate of September 30, 2015.

The results of the first nine months and the third quarter of 2015 will be published as scheduled on October 27, 2015.
