Consolidated revenue from continuing operations in the first
half of 2023 increased by 55.6% compared to the first half of
2022.
The aerospace segment, the Group's largest market, posted
revenue of EUR 4,515 thousand for the first half of 2023, an
increase of 29.3% compared to the first half of 2022. This segment
represented 64% of consolidated revenue for the first half of
2023.
Sales in the medical segment also demonstrated strong dynamism,
reaching EUR 1,709 thousand for the first half of 2023, thus an
increase of a 69.0% compared to the first half of 2022. This
segment represented 24% of consolidated revenue for the first half
of 2023.
The optical communications business, including design and sales
of variable optical attenuators (VOA) according to a fabless
organization, achieved a revenue of EUR 798 thousand for the first
half of 2023, i.e. 11% of consolidated revenue.
Royalties from licensed trademarks amounted to EUR 67 thousand
for the first half of 2023, similar to the first half of 2022.

(Financial data were subject to a limited review by the Group’s
statutory auditors. On August 31, 2023, MEMSCAP’s board of
directors authorized the release of the interim condensed
consolidated financial statements on June 30, 2023. Any apparent
discrepancies in totals are due to rounding.) * Net of research
& development grants.
The strong growth in business volumes and the evolution of sales
mix resulted in a consolidated gross margin of EUR 3,059 thousand
for the first half of 2023, representing 43.2% of consolidated
revenue, compared to EUR 1,714 thousand for the first half of 2022,
representing 37.6% of consolidated revenue. This represented an
increase of 5.6 percentage points in margin.
Operating expenses, net of research and development grants,
amounted to EUR 1,901 thousand for the first half of 2023, compared
to EUR 1,685 thousand for the first half of 2022. This increase was
mainly driven by significant developments in commercial operations
and by the impact of the growth in business volumes on the Group's
structure.
The average equivalent full-time workforce related to continuing
operations increased from 41.3 people in the first half of 2022 to
51.7 people in the first half of 2023.
For the first half of 2023, the Group posted an operating profit
from continuing operations of EUR 1,158 thousand (16.3% of
consolidated revenue), compared to breakeven operating earnings for
the first half of 2022.
The financial result was at breakeven for the first half of
2023, compared to a net gain of EUR 95 thousand for the first half
of 2022, resulting from the exchange rate fluctuations of the US
dollar and the Norwegian krone.
The tax expense recorded for the first half of 2023 and 2022
corresponded to the variation in deferred tax assets. This charge
has no impact on the Group's cash flow.
The Group reported a net profit after tax from continuing
operations of EUR 1,134 thousand for the first half of 2023
compared to a net profit of EUR 86 thousand for the first half of
2022.
The Group therefore posted a consolidated net profit of EUR
1,134 thousand for the first half of 2023 (16.0% of consolidated
revenue) compared to a net loss of EUR 571 thousand for the first
half of 2022 including discontinued operations*.
*As part of the FABLITE program, the US Custom products
division, including the design and manufacturing of MEMS components
for third parties and the related foundry services, was sold in
December 2022. In accordance with IFRS 5, the net loss relating to
this business, i.e. EUR 657 thousand for the first half of 2022,
was recognized in loss after tax from discontinued operations.
Evolution of the Group’s cash / Consolidated shareholders’
equity
Adjusted EBITDA1 from continuing operations for the first half
of 2023 amounted to EUR 1,677 thousand compared to EUR 711 thousand
for the first half of 2022.
In line with the increase in business volumes, the Group's
working capital requirement increased by EUR 1,779 thousand for the
first half of 2023, compared to an increase of EUR 127 thousand for
the first half of 2022. This significant increase in the working
capital requirement was due to the rise in accounts receivable and
inventory levels.
As of June 30, 2023, the Group posted available cash of EUR
4,832 thousand (December 31, 2022: EUR 5,456 thousand) including
cash investments (Corporate bonds / investment securities) recorded
under non-current financial assets.
As of June 30, 2023, MEMSCAP shareholders’ equity totalled EUR
16,079 thousand (December 31, 2022: EUR 15,587 thousand).
1 Adjusted EBITDA means operating profit before depreciation,
amortisation, share-based payment charge (IFRS 2) and including
foreign exchange gains/losses related to ordinary activities.
Perspectives
The 2022 financial year was marked by the completion of the
FABLITE program, which ended with the sale of the Group's Custom
Products business and its US-based factory. This sale operation was
accompanied by the establishment of a fabless organization,
enabling the Group to address the variable optical attenuators
(VOA) market with the creation of the optical communications
business unit, whose commercial activities were effective in
January 2023.
Following the successful completion of the FABLITE program
within the initially planned timeframe, the Group launched the 4G
development plan from the first quarter of 2023. This 4G plan aims
for consecutive, competitive, profitable, and responsible growth of
the Group's activities, with an average annual consolidated revenue
growth rate of 20% over the period from 2022 to 2026. The plan
highlights strong development prospects for the aerospace and
medical activities in growing structural markets as well as new
opportunities.
With an adjusted EBITDA1 of EUR 1,677 thousand for the first
half of 2023, representing 23.7% of consolidated revenue (compared
to EUR 711 thousand for the first half of 2022), and a net profit
of EUR 1,134 thousand for the same period, MEMSCAP demonstrates the
success of its 4G plan launch.
To ensure the growth of its aerospace activities over the next 3
years, the Group first intends to leverage its reputation in its
current markets (air data computer, cabin pressure control systems,
ground-based aerial tests, etc.) to increase business volumes with
existing customers and expand its market share with new clients.
The Group also aims to continue meeting the growing market demand
for UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and address the market for
electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing Vehicles (eVTOL).
Additionally, MEMSCAP plans to strengthen its growth by penetrating
the engine control market, both in Engine Monitoring Units (EMU)
and Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC). This will
require the qualification of the new SP85 sensor family developed
as part of the Sensor Technology for Green and Safe Jet Engines
(STEGS) program which aims at developing safer and more
environmentally friendly engines and was funded in previous years
by the Norwegian government.
In this context, the Group announced in May 2023 the signing of
a multi-year development and supply contract for pressure modules
for Engine Monitoring Units (EMU) with Meggitt PLC. Under this
contract, MEMSCAP will provide Meggitt with various configurations
of pressure modules, incorporating a customized and ruggedized
version of the new generation of its SP85 pressure sensor.
The growth drivers in the MEMSCAP’s medical business primarily
rely on the development of the Group’s current markets, especially
those that have been established in recent years. These markets
include pressure measurement solutions used as medical accessories
for patient monitoring in intensive care units, sensors integrated
into blood filtration equipment, and solutions implanted in the
human body. Additionally, MEMSCAP continues to expand its solutions
for the urology market (already representing 10.8% of its half-year
medical revenue) and is initiating commercial efforts in the fields
of lung/heart devices and angiography.
Furthermore, the Group leverages its intellectual property to
serve its niche market of variable optical attenuators (VOA) for
fiber optic systems, thanks to its new fabless organization as
previously mentioned.
All these actions are intended to maintain the positive trend
initiated in the first half of 2023.
"After the success of the FABLITE program, MEMSCAP’s teams
demonstrate once again their execution capabilities by rapidly
turning the ambitious 4G program objectives into reality." says
Jean Michel Karam, CEO of MEMSCAP. "With a solid balance sheet, the
Group is intensifying its efforts to confirm every quarter its
profile of profitable and responsible hyper-growth."
