Management Comments
"IPG's record revenues of $192.2 million for the second quarter resulted from a strong increase in high-power fiber laser sales for materials processing applications," said Dr. Valentin Gapontsev, IPG Photonics' Chief Executive Officer. "Materials processing sales increased 18% year over year, driven by strength in cutting and welding applications, as well as growth in 3D printing, glass cutting and cleaning applications. The increase in materials processing, which accounts for 96% of our revenue, shows the progress we continue to make in penetrating OEMs for key applications that represent significant growth opportunities. The 70 basis point year-over-year increase in gross margins to 54.2% and growth in net income of 16% demonstrated some leverage returning to our operating model."
"We continue to see strong growth in high-power fiber laser sales, which increased by 22%," said Dr. Gapontsev. "Sales for medium-power lasers increased by 35% and QCW sales were up 44% year over year. While pulsed laser sales declined as expected by 19% year over year due to increased low-power competition in China, we are encouraged by a 12% increase from the sequential first quarter. We are also seeing fast-growing demand for our new generation of picosecond high peak power fiber lasers and multi-hundred watt average power pulsed lasers where we have technological advantages for new applications such as deep engraving, ablation and cleaning."
"Geographically, we reported strong sales growth in Europe and Asia," said Dr. Gapontsev. "In the U.S., sales and order flow remain positive, however, we shipped some large advanced applications and marking & engraving orders in Q2 2013 that resulted in an unfavorable year-over-year comparison."
"We generated $33.5 million in cash from operating activities and had cash and cash equivalents of $483.4 million after using $34.3 million to finance capital expenditures during the second quarter," Dr. Gapontsev said.
Business Outlook and Financial Guidance
"As we enter the second half of 2014, we remain focused on generating profitable growth through expanding our business with existing and new OEMs, developing new applications and introducing new fiber laser-based products. Order flow in Q





2 was strong and, with a book-to-bill ratio of greater than one, we anticipate sequential and year-over-year revenue growth for the third quarter. We will continue to target margins in the range of 50% to 55% while making strategic investments to enhance our product pipeline and expand our worldwide infrastructure," concluded Dr. Gapontsev.
IPG Photonics expects revenue in the range of $190 million to $205 million for the third quarter of 2014. The Company anticipates earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.88 to $1.03 based on 52,769,000 diluted common shares, which includes 52,068,000 basic common shares outstanding and 701,000 potentially dilutive options at June 30, 2014.
As discussed in more detail in the “Safe Harbor” passage of this news release, actual results may differ from this guidance due to various factors including, but not limited to, product demand, order cancellations and delays, competition and general economic conditions. This guidance is subject to the risks outlined in the Company's reports with the SEC, and assumes that exchange rates remain at present levels.
