Third Quarter 2012 Highlights
 
·
Great Interest at SEMICON West. Visitor traffic to the Cimetrix booth at SEMICON West was up over 50% from last year, as Cimetrix demonstrated its current product line of Connectivity and Equipment Control software products, as well as prototypes of an exciting new product line.
 
·
Strong Momentum and Collaboration Building for New Product Line. Over the past eighteen months, Cimetrix has been investing in research and development for a new product line, while simultaneously building a team consisting of key customers, industry experts, and end users (the Company’s customers’ customers). Despite being in the midst of an industry down cycle, there was a high level of interest in the Company’s product prototypes that are aligned to increasing equipment productivity and decreasing costs at semiconductor fabrication facilities.
 
·
Five New Design Wins for Connectivity and Equipment Control. During the third quarter, the Company won five new design wins for its products at major equipment manufacturers in North America, Europe, and Japan. All are expected to go into production and contribute to Cimetrix runtime license revenue in 2013 and beyond. Despite the industry slowdown which is delaying new OEM equipment launches, customers are increasingly building next generation equipment incorporating Cimetrix products.

Management’s Comments

“At the start of 2012, all of the industry analysts and certain of our own channel checks were predicting a gradual recovery that would significantly strengthen during the third and fourth quarters. While we hoped this consensus was correct, we have enough experience in this industry to know things can change quickly, which is exactly what happened. Data from SEMI and leading equipment makers indicates that the semiconductor capital equipment industry slowed around 20% from the second to the third quarter,” said Bob Reback, Cimetrix president and CEO. “Fortunately, we were diligent during the 2010/2011 up cycle in paying off all debts, building up our cash reserves, and maintaining a solid bank line of credit. In addition, Cimetrix greatly strengthened its software engineering

 
 

 

capability by upgrading and expanding the number of full-time engineers within the Company. This combination of prudent management, solid financial footing, and greatly increased engineering capacity allows us to execute a strategy during this down cycle that invests in our products, our customer relationships and significant research and development. We believe this strategy will enable us to continue at roughly break-even during the down cycle while positioning the Company for significant growth in the next up cycle.”

Fourth Quarter 2012 Outlook

The PV and LED markets remain very sluggish. Regarding semiconductor capital equipment, SEMI reported bookings have declined every month since May 2012. Cimetrix customers have confirmed they expect this incremental slowdown in equipment shipments to continue throughout the fourth quarter, with growth returning in 2013. During these uncertain economic times, Cimetrix continues to maintain a disciplined cost structure, pursue new customer design wins, and invest in new product development. Our goal is to be well positioned for growth when the end user markets recover.
