Management Comments
"We delivered record quarterly revenue and net income driven by the rapid adoption of IPG's high power products," said Dr. Valentin Gapontsev, IPG Photonics' Chief Executive Officer. Second quarter revenue of $413.6 million increased 12% year over year. Depreciation of the Euro and Renminbi relative to the exchange rates assumed in our second quarter guidance reduced revenue by $8.4 million. Materials processing sales increased 11% year over year and accounted for approximately 95% of total sales driven by strength in cutting and 3D printing applications. Sales to other markets increased 33% year over year. High power CW laser sales increased 20% year over year, representing 64% of total revenue, with even stronger growth in sales of ultra-high power CW lasers with power levels of six kilowatts and above. By region, sales increased 10% in China, 18% in Europe, 23% in North America, and declined 2% in Japan on a year over year basis.
Earnings per diluted share ("EPS") of $2.21 increased 16% year over year. Foreign exchange losses reduced EPS by $0.03. The effective tax rate in the quarter was 26%, which benefited from the lower effective tax rate for income earned in the United States due to enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and an increase in excess tax benefits related to equity compensation, which were partially offset by provisions for uncertain tax positions and other matters.
During the second quarter, IPG generated $109 million in cash from operations and capital expenditures totaled $57 million. IPG ended the quarter with $1.13 billion in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, representing an increase of $9.6 million from December 31, 2017.
Stock Repurchase Program
Today IPG also announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a new $125 million anti-dilutive stock repurchase program following the completion of its previous $100 million repurchase program. Under the new anti-dilutive program, IPG management is authorized to repurchase shares of common stock in an amount not to exceed the greater of (a) the number of shares issued to employees and directors under the Company's various employee and director equity compensation and employee stock purchase plans from January 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019 and (b) $125 million, exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses. Share repurchases will be made periodically in open-market transactions using the Company's working capital, and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. The share repurchase program authorization does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of its shares, and repurchases may be commenced or suspended from time to time without prior notice.
Business Outlook and Financial Guidance
"Book-to-bill was at 1.0 for the quarter. While orders grew slightly on a year over year basis, order flow was below our target as demand softened in Europe and China at the end of the quarter. This more modest year over year growth in orders has persisted through July, and we believe is primarily driven by macroeconomic and geopolitical factors rather than competitive dynamics. We are seeing strong order activity in North America and some smaller regions. Furthermore, we are beginning to benefit from rapid growth from new products, including ultraviolet, green, and ultrafast pulsed lasers, systems and beam delivery components. While we are encouraged by the strength in new products and select regions, this growth will only partially offset the more modest outlook in China and Europe." said Dr. Gapontsev.
For the third quarter of 2018, IPG expects revenue of $360 million to $390 million. The Company expects the third quarter tax rate to be approximately 26%, excluding effects relating to equity grants. IPG anticipates delivering earnings per diluted share in the range of $1.80 to $2.05, with 53.7 million basic common shares outstanding and 55.0 million diluted common shares outstanding.
"As compared to just a few months ago, the current global macroeconomic trade and geopolitical environment is more uncertain and could remain so. In addition, we expect foreign exchange to be more of a headwind, particularly with the depreciation of the Chinese Renminbi over the last month. As such, we believe full year revenue growth for 2018 will be in the range of 7% to 9%." added Dr. Gapontsev.
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, tariffs, trade policy changes 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 0.86, Russian Ruble 63, Japanese Yen 111 and Chinese Yuan 6.62, respectively.
