CyberOptics Reports Significantly Improved Second Quarter Operating Results
3D Technology and Other Product Development Initiatives Proceeding on Schedule

Minneapolis, MN—July 29, 2014—CyberOptics Corporation (Nasdaq: CYBE) today reported significantly improved operating results for the second quarter of 2014.

 

 

 

 

Revenues increased 42% to $13.3 million from $9.3 million in the second quarter of 2013. Completed in mid-March, the acquisition of Laser Design, Inc. (LDI), a Minneapolis-based 3D metrology company, contributed $1.7 million to CyberOptics’ consolidated second quarter revenues.

 

 

 

 

Reflecting the strong revenue growth, the second quarter net loss narrowed to $315,000 or $.05 per share, down from the loss of $1.2 million or $.17 per share in the year-earlier period.

Dr. Subodh Kulkarni, president and chief executive officer, commented: “Our recent performance marks CyberOptics’ third consecutive quarter of improved year over year operating results. Although more work remains, we believe this uptrend is evidence that our growth initiatives and new products are enabling CyberOptics to make tangible progress toward our goal of achieving sustainable profitable growth.”

He continued: “Sales of SMT sensors increased 52% from last year’s second quarter, driven by demand for LaserAlign sensors from our OEM customers. Sales of inspection systems rose 15% year-over-year due to higher sales of our new solder paste inspection (SPI) and automated optical inspection (AOI) systems, which are gaining share in the inspection market. Sales of new pre-reflow AOI systems also are continuing to grow, reflecting the value customers are finding by inspecting circuit boards for defects before entering the reflow oven. In addition, sales of semiconductor products, principally the WaferSense product line, were up 9% from last year’s second quarter.

Kulkarni, said: “From an R&D standpoint, we are focused on strategically repositioning CyberOptics as a global leader in high-precision 3D sensors for the electronic assembly, semiconductor and industrial markets, since 3D sensing constitutes the high-growth segment of these and adjacent applications. At the heart of this initiative is the development of our Multi-Reflection Suppression (MRS) 3D technology. This sensor technology will be deployed in our next-generation AOI system, which is designed to expand CyberOptics’ presence in the smart phone and tablet markets as well as other high-precision applications. As planned, we expect to start marketing our 3D AOI system in the fourth quarter and realize the initial sales in early 2015. In addition, we are pursuing new OEM opportunities with our MRS 3D technology. The LDI acquisition represents another aspect of our 3D initiative, and we are incorporating our MRS technology into one of LDI’s existing products, the Auto Gage 3D Scanning System, to strengthen its performance and competitiveness in a wide range of industrial applications. Introduction of the MRS-equipped Auto Gage is planned for early 2015.”

He stated: “In addition to 3D sensing, we also are developing promising products for inspecting memory modules and conformal coating on circuit boards. These products, which we believe have solid sales potential, are scheduled for introduction during the second half of the year.”


Kulkarni concluded: “For the second half of 2014, we are forecasting double-digit, year-over-year sales growth, excluding the positive impact of LDI, and a significantly reduced loss, reflecting ongoing demand for new products across all categories. In all, we remain confident about CyberOptics’ near and longer-term future.”
