Company exceeds consensus EPS
EPS and Operating Income improve as a result of cost cutting initiatives
SOMERSET, N.J., July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EMCORE Corporation (Nasdaq: EMKR - News), a leading provider of compound semiconductor technologies for global communications applications, today announced financial results for the third quarter ending June 30, 2002.
The Company's restructuring and cost cutting initiatives lowered operating expenses allowing the Company to exceed EPS forecasts. Earnings per share was ($0.43) versus consensus estimates of ($0.44) as indicated by Thompson-First Call. Revenues for the third quarter were $20.3 million. Materials and equipment related revenues represented approximately 51% and 49% of total sales, respectively. Operating expenses fell approximately $3.0 million, or 15% from the previous quarter, prior to last quarter's restructuring charges.
Recently, the Company further reduced its payroll and operating expenses by approximately $6 million and $3 million, respectively, on an annualized basis. The Company projects that this reduction in the cost structure will allow the Company to achieve cash flow breakeven from operations in the fiscal quarter beginning in October 2002. Total annualized savings are now estimated at $25 million.
Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments at June 30, 2002 were $89.1 million, which reflects net cash usage of $7.0 million for the quarter. Interest payments to holders of the Company's 5% subordinated debentures due in May 2006 represented 60%, or $4.4 million of total cash usage. Improved operations and balance sheet metrics contributed to the reduced cash consumption.
Commenting on the results, Reuben F. Richards, Jr., President & CEO of EMCORE, stated, "We have seen significant improvement in operations which has allowed us to further reduce the Company's cost structure without sacrificing product or market opportunities. We feel the Company is now well positioned from a cost standpoint to effectively compete in whatever market environment the Company encounters."
EMCORE expects revenues for the fourth quarter ending September 30, 2002 to range between $23 and $28 million. Bookings for the third quarter totaled $22 million, consisting of $12 million in equipment and $10 in materials.
EMCORE will discuss the results further on a conference call to be held on Thursday, August 1, 2002, at 9:00 a.m. EDT.

Highlights of the Quarter
EMCORE received a patent for its breakthrough invention of a semiconductor device separation technique for gallium nitride-based and other materials grown on sapphire substrates. The new technique solves many challenges inherent with current separation techniques and will be paramount to expediting manufacturing times of GaN-based blue and green LEDs and improving GaN materials device yields. The method designed by EMCORE has been successfully employed in a high-volume LED manufacturing production facility for over a year and will have a significant impact on the cost and manufacturability of all devices on sapphire substrate.
EMCORE, in conjunction with Sandia National Labs, received the prestigious R&D 100 Award sponsored annually by R&D Magazine for the MTR8500 Very Short Reach (VSR) OC-192 Parallel Array Transponder. The award, in recognition of advanced fiber optic module development work, provides very short reach interconnections over parallel fiber links at SONET OC-192 data rates and was the first commercially available 300-pin transponder compliant with the Optical Internetworking Forum's VSR-1 Implementation Agreement (OIF-VSR4-0.10).
Infineon Fiber Optics named EMCORE a top supplier of the year for the Company's renowned TurboDisc® tools, the key instruments used to manufacture high quality electronic and optoelectronic devices. The product development strategy employed by EMCORE focuses on specific performance and market requirements for compound semiconductor applications, such as VCSELs (vertical cavity surface emitting lasers) for datacom and telecom equipment and LEDs for solid state lighting. "Along with 5 others, EMCORE was selected among over 250 companies as one of our top suppliers for 2001," commented Erwin Wolf, General Manager at Infineon Fiber Optics.
EMCORE announced a $4.0 million contract with DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) to play a leading role in the Department of Defense agency's mission to develop wide bandgap semiconductor-base high power, high frequency electronics for use in military applications. "The development of GaN-based devices offers tremendous future opportunities for EMCORE. GaN-based FETs out-perform many existing technologies because they can operate at extremely high temperatures and can accommodate very high power levels without affecting performance," according to Tom Miehe, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at EMCORE.
LED Expert Corporation of Taiwan announced a breakthrough in their blue LED production program using EMCORE D180 SpectraBlue Reactors. Operating with three EMCORE SpectraBlue systems, LED Expert has advanced their LED manufacturing technology to enable consistent growth of 60mcd blue LEDs, which proved a significant milestone for the Company.
Recent Product Developments
EMCORE introduced its Enterprise 300LDM (laser diode machine) MOCVD tool, designed to achieve high quality materials and high yields for consumer electronics applications, and announced the first sale to JVC Japan. Engineered specifically for the high volume production of long wavelength, infrared and visible lasers, VCSELs, and InP-based electronic materials, EMCORE's E300LDM platform provides customers with unparalleled run-to-run process control and is designed to accomplish excellent uniformity of thickness, doping, and composition in epitaxial layers.
EMCORE announced the sale of an Enterprise 300 GaNzilla(TM) MOCVD (metallorganic chemical vapor deposition) tool to South Epitaxy Corporation (SEC) of Taiwan and the United Epitaxy Company (UEC) for use in high-brightness blue and green light emitting diode (LED) production.

Falls sie bedeutend schlechter ausfallen als prognostizert würde Aixtron als eines der letzten NM-Unternehmen seinen seriösen Ruf verlieren, was ich mir beim besten Willen nicht vorstellen kann.
Das macht mich bächtig möse, bächtig möse...
Gruss Linus
P.S: Warten, fallen lassen, einsammeln, wegpacken und nach ein paar Jahren gibts dann für uns alle nen netten kleinen Flitzer ( ...und dann auch steuerfrei, hehe )

Wertpapier: Aixtron SE |
By the way, steht Aixtron unter Berücksichtigung der hervorragenden 2001er Ergebnisse bei einem KGV von 15. Nimmt man 2002 wird es vielleicht ein KGV von 20 sein. Ein KGV von 20, bei nur wenig gesicherten Wachstumprognosen, was ist daran so verkehrt?
Der Rebound wird jedoch trotzdem interessant. Sicher sind hier bei vernünftigem Timing 10% in wenigen Tagen machbar. Das werden sich auch die Großen nicht entgehen lassen, schließlich ist Aixtron extrem liquide für einen NEMAX Wert.
Gruß Gekko
Zum rebound: Nach solchen Kursstürzen hat die Aixtron-Aktie in der Vergangenheit stets zwischen 80-100% zugelegt. Auf ein 10%-rebound in dieser Aktie zu spekulieren halte ich momentan für Wahnsinn.
Ansonsten gebe ich Euch Recht, hier stink was ganz ganz gewaltig, zumal ich noch keine Antwort auf meine gestrige Mail an Aixtron bekommen habe. Zu dem Kursverfall sagen die scheinbar überhaupt nix (scheint wohl nicht zu jucken). Ist wohl auch nicht nur ein großer Abgeber, wenn ich mir die Volumina ansehe. Bevor hier nicht Klarheit herrscht, bleiben die nur auf meiner WL. Hier noch was aus Finanztreff von gerade eben:
Aixtron weiter im Abwärtstrend
Aixtron befinden sich weiter im Abwärtstrend. Der Wert verliert bis 11.34 Uhr 7,5 Prozent und markiert damit ein neues Allzeittief. Es gebe kaum Käufer bei dem Titel, so ein Händler. Er verweist auf die anhaltende Verunsicherung der Anleger hinsichtlich der Schwäche des Halbleitermarktes.
Es sei nicht klar, inwieweit Aixtron von der Schwäche betroffen sei. Es gebe daher einige Investoren, die eine Gewinnwarnug der Aachener fürchten. Die Aktie sei auch auf dem aktuellen Niveau noch hoch bewertet. Die eher positiv einzuschätzenden Zahlen des US-Mitbewerbers Emcore vom Vorabend sorgen für keine Entlastung. +++ Manuel Priego Thimmel

Also ich pers. sehe die Zahlen von Emcore nicht so positiv.
Gr., ZN
Kurzfristig sind 80% - 100% m.E. undenkbar. Die Lage für AIX hat sich stetig eingetrübt und ein KGV von 40 wäre Wahnsinn.

Hörte sich alles in allem nicht sehr positv an!!
positiv war, dass er mich im Hause zurückgerufen hat!!
