Management’s Comments
Commenting on the financial results, Bob Reback, president and chief executive officer, stated, “One year ago, in our 2011 financial results press release, we stated that we expected the semiconductor equipment industry to be down by 10-20% in 2012 and the PV and HB-LED equipment industries to be down by 60% and 40%, respectively. Those forecasts turned out to be close to the mark, particularly for semiconductor and PV equipment. When machine shipments declined dramatically in the second half of 2012, we were prepared and are very pleased to have managed the business to maintain profitability.”

Mr. Reback continued, “Our strategy was to implement a scalable business model that would remain profitable during the down cycles and be highly profitable during the up cycles. This strategy involved retaining a core of highly skilled and experienced personnel focused on serving customers and building great software products. To support this strategy, Cimetrix established a global network of service providers trained in Cimetrix products that are able to provide services to assist customers with software development activities. While this strategy reduces Cimetrix services revenue, it enables us to focus on sustaining and enhancing current product lines, as well as R&D for exciting new products that will fuel long term growth.”

2012 Business Highlights

·
Growing interest in EDA/Interface A adoption with the introduction of SEMI Standard E164, driving OEMs to support common metadata for equipment models
 
·
Expanded the Customer Support and Software Quality organizations to better support the growing international customer base, improve product quality and enhance the user experience
 
·
Delivered new releases of all Connectivity and Equipment Control products to keep abreast of SEMI standards, technologies, and customer needs
 
·
Invested over $1M in R&D for new product initiatives for future growth

Outlook for 2013

Most industry analysts are calling for a 6-9% growth in semiconductors, with a -10 to +5% change in the year-over-year semiconductor capital equipment market. With the top three chipmakers now projected to buy almost 70% of all capital equipment that will be purchased in 2013, we have some customers that are poised to have strong growth, while other customers are not as well positioned. We are cautiously optimistic that overall Cimetrix software revenues will benefit from increased machine shipments associated with an incremental industry recovery, as well as new customer design wins over the past several years.

We will continue to focus on understanding our customers’ system development needs and delivering software to meet their requirements for new projects and industry standards compliance. Our leadership position for SEMI standards and our continued collaboration with ISMI place Cimetrix at the forefront of industry developments. We will use that position to build our business in semiconductors, PV, and HB-LED. In addition, we will continue to investigate adjacent markets and potential new products to fuel long term growth. Cimetrix is well positioned for profitable growth in the next up cycle, and we are excited about the potential to leverage our core competencies to develop new products for the future.
