Management Comments
"IPG delivered another strong quarter, growing revenues by 22% year-over-year to a record $243.5 million for the third quarter of 2015," said Dr. Valentin Gapontsev, IPG Photonics' Chief Executive Officer. We estimate that the translation effects of foreign currency headwinds reduced revenue growth by approximately 12 percentage points. These results reflect the continued penetration of our fiber lasers into new and existing applications through our diverse and expanding product line. In the third quarter, earnings per diluted share increased by 12% to $1.18 which includes foreign exchange losses that reduced earnings per share by $0.06."
Materials processing sales increased 16% year-over-year, primarily driven by solid demand for cutting, additive manufacturing, ablation and welding applications. Sales to other markets were up 168% from the same quarter last year with strong performances in advanced applications and telecom. On a geographic basis, IPG reported strong growth in North America, Europe and China, while sales were lower in Japan and Korea. Sales of high-power, medium-power and QCW lasers all performed well but were offset by a decrease in pulsed and low-power lasers sales.
During the third quarter, IPG generated $93.2 million in cash from operations and used $18.2 million to finance capital expenditures. IPG ended the quarter with $651.2 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Business Outlook and Financial Guidance
"Looking ahead, we continue to seek opportunities to expand our business through both existing and new OEMs and end-users. We remain focused on developing new and innovative products to address applications beyond our core markets. We have made significant progress on the testing and development of these new product lines this year and we look forward to their launch in 2016," concluded Dr. Gapontsev. "While the fourth quarter is seasonally weaker historically, we continue to be confident in our short and long-term growth opportunities."
IPG Photonics expects revenue in the range of $215 million to $230 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. The Company anticipates earnings per diluted share in the range of $1.00 to $1.15 based on 53,392,000 diluted common shares, which includes 52,675,000 basic common shares outstanding and 717,000 potentially dilutive options at September 30, 2015.
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 based upon current market conditions and expectations, and is subject to the risks outlined in the Company's reports with the SEC, and assumes exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar of Euro 0.88, Russian Ruble 61, Japanese Yen 120 and Chinese Yuan 6.35, respectively.
