Richard W. Blickman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Besi, commented:

"This year marked an important inflection point in our strategic development as we position Besi for sustainable growth over the next decade. Our business model generated revenue and profitability levels substantially higher than our peers as we effectively responded to an assembly equipment downturn which began in the spring following large capacity additions over the past two years.

"We also made a number of important R&D and business investments in 2022 to better position ourselves for anticipated growth over the next industry cycle. Development spending was increased by 48% to ramp hybrid bonding for commercial production, to introduce two new wafer level assembly systems and to upgrade our existing product portfolio. Operational resources were utilized to increase cleanroom production and service/support capacity in Malaysia and Singapore as we prepare for anticipated hybrid bonding growth over the next five years. Strong cash flow from operations was used to increase our capital allocation by 132% versus 2021 including the initiation of a new € 300 million share repurchase program. Progress also continued on Besi’s ESG agenda where approximately 80% of our 2022 targets were met or significantly exceeded in key carbon emissions categories as well as in the areas of waste, hazardous materials and renewable energy.

"For the year, revenue and net income of € 722.9 million and € 240.6 million declined by 3.5% and 14.8%, respectively, versus 2021. Orders of € 663.7 million declined by 29.3% principally due to decreased demand for high-end smartphone applications post new product introductions in 2021. The decrease also reflected reduced bookings from Chinese subcontractors for mobile and mainstream computing applications linked to softening economic conditions in China. Of note, revenue from Chinese customers declined by 33.5% and represented 25.9% of revenue in 2022 versus 37.6% in 2021. Revenue and order weakness in smartphone applications was partially offset by continued strength in Besi’s computing/hybrid bonding and automotive end-user markets as well as increased revenue from spares/service activities which grew by 25.7% year over year.

"We achieved peer leading operating and net margins of 40.7% and 33.3% in a difficult environment as we successfully aligned production to changing market conditions. In fact, gross margins increased to 61.3% this year due primarily to a 77% reduction of temporary headcount from peak first quarter levels, effective management of our supply chain and price increases implemented to help offset inflationary cost pressures.

"Besi ended the year with a solid liquidity base consisting of cash, cash equivalents and deposits aggregating € 671.7 million, or € 8.56 per basic share and net cash of € 346.5 million. Our net cash position reflected strong cash flow from operations of € 271.9 million equal to 37.6% of revenue, the conversion into equity of € 139.9 million of Convertible Notes due 2027 and the capital allocation of € 416.3 million to shareholders. Given Besi’s earnings, cash flow and solid financial position, we propose to pay a cash dividend of € 2.85 per share for approval at our 2023 AGM. The proposed distribution is the thirteenth consecutive annual dividend paid and reflects a pay-out ratio of 93%. Including such dividend, Besi will have returned approximately € 1.6 billion to shareholders over the past 13 years, or approximately 25% of cumulative revenue during this period.

"In addition, substantial progress was achieved to help hybrid bonding become a market reality. Significant improvements in placement accuracy, throughput, yield and lead times for delivery all contributed to its commercial viability. Full scale production by a customer began in the second half of 2022. In total, Besi has shipped 35 hybrid bonding systems since the fourth quarter of 2021 of which 10 were demonstration units. In addition, we received orders for an incremental 14 units from multiple customers subsequent to Q3-22 of which 3 were received to date in Q1-23. Orders received in Q4-22 are not anticipated to be shipped until Q2-23 of which several are to be incorporated into integrated hybrid bonding production lines. Of note, the first hybrid bonding integrated production line was shipped in the fourth quarter.

"Besi’s fourth quarter operating results were better than expected in an ongoing industry downturn. Revenue of € 137.7 million decreased by 18.4% versus Q3-22 reflecting a number of headwinds including weakness in high performance computing and mainstream electronics applications and ongoing weakness in mobile end-user markets. However, our backlog rose by 12.2% to reach € 270 million at year-end due to a € 55.2 million, or 44.1% sequential order increase versus Q3-22. Such increase resulted primarily from higher bookings for high-end smartphones and hybrid bonding systems. Current order trends reflect customers’ continued investment in high-end versus mainstream assembly applications as well as ongoing weakness in demand by Chinese customers. Besi’s profitability and efficiency remained at attractive levels in Q4-22 despite the downturn with gross margins reaching 62.3%, net income of € 40.2 million and a net margin realized of 29.2%.

"There is a high degree of uncertainty as to the outlook for 2023. The assembly equipment market is in a classic downturn after two strong years of growth. However, we believe there are a variety of potential outcomes for Besi’s business prospects this year in the context of the current downcycle including the outlook for smartphone and hybrid bonding demand as well as the impact of the re-opening of the Chinese economy. The headwinds we face are many including higher inflation and interest rates, decelerating economic growth, geo-political tensions and ongoing weakness in mainstream electronics, computing and mobile handset end-user markets.

"For Q1-23, we forecast that revenue will decrease by 0-10% versus Q4-22 as many orders received in Q4-22 are scheduled for delivery in Q2-23 and Q3-23. In addition, we estimate that Besi’s gross margin will range between 61%-63% and for baseline operating expenses to decrease by 0-5% versus Q4-22. Total operating expenses are expected to increase by 15%-20% due to an incremental € 7 million of non-cash, share based compensation expense.”

Q4-22 revenue of € 137.7 million decreased by 18.4% versus Q3-22 and 19.8% versus Q4-21 due primarily to lower shipments for high performance computing, reduced revenue from Asian subcontractors for mainstream electronics applications and ongoing weakness in mobile end-user markets. The Q4-22 revenue decrease versus each of such periods also reflected general market softness and was partially offset by continued strength in shipments for automotive applications.

Orders of € 180.5 million increased by 44.1% versus Q3-22 due to increased orders for high-end smartphone applications from Asian subcontractors and new orders for hybrid bonding systems from multiple IDM customers. Versus Q4-21, orders decreased by 10.9% primarily due to lower bookings for mainstream computing and automotive applications. Per customer type, IDM orders increased € 17.5 million, or 21.7%, versus Q3-22 and represented 54% of total orders for the period. Subcontractor orders increased by € 37.7 million, or 84.5%, versus Q3-22 and represented 46% of total orders.

* Gross margin in Q4-21 included a one-time, € 7.4 million inventory impairment charge. Ex such charges, gross margin would have been 61.0%

Besi’s gross margin of 62.3% in Q4-22 was equal to Q3-22 and above guidance primarily due to favorable forex influences. Versus Q4-21, gross margin increased by 5.6 points primarily due to the absence of a one-time, € 7.4 million inventory impairment charge recorded in Q4-21. Excluding such charge, Besi’s gross margin rose by 1.3% versus Q4-21.

Q4-22 operating expenses increased by € 3.1 million, or 9.1%, versus Q3-22 due primarily to a € 1.0 million increase in R&D spending and higher share-based compensation expense. Versus Q4-21, operating expenses increased by € 6.8 million, or 22.4%, due primarily to € 4.6 million of higher R&D spending for next generation wafer level assembly systems as well as higher marketing and technical support costs related thereto and increased travel expenses post the pandemic. As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses increased to 26.9% in Q4-22 versus 20.2% in Q3-22.

Financial expense, net, decreased by € 1.9 million versus Q3-22 primarily as a result of increased interest income earned on cash balances outstanding.

Besi’s Q4-22 net income of € 40.2 million decreased € 17.1 million, or 29.8%, versus Q3-22. The profit reduction was primarily due to an 18.4% sequential revenue decrease and a 9.1% increase in operating expenses associated primarily with higher R&D spending levels partially offset by higher interest income earned and a lower effective tax rate. Versus Q4-21, net income decreased by € 26.9 million, or 40.1%, principally as a result of (i) a 19.8% revenue decrease, (ii) increased R&D spending and (iii) a higher effective tax due to the absence of € 8.9 million in tax benefits recognized in the prior year period partially offset by a 5.6 point gross margin increase. As a result, Besi’s net margin decreased to 29.2% in Q4-22 versus 34.0% in Q3-22 and 39.1% in Q4-21.

* Excluding inventory impairment charge in Q4-21 and tax benefits recorded during the year, Besi’s net income, net margin and effective tax rate in 2021 would have been € 273.9 million, 36.6% and 12.0%, respectively.

Besi’s revenue in 2022 declined by € 26.4 million, or 3.5%, versus 2021 primarily due to a variety of trends affecting its end-user markets. Significant revenue decreases were reported for smartphone and Chinese end-user markets. Such adverse headwinds were partially offset by continued strength in (i) automotive end-user markets as supply chain issues began to recede and (ii) computing applications as hybrid bonding shipments increased for commercial production in the second half of the year.

Orders of € 663.7 million declined by 29.3% in comparison to 2021 principally due to significantly decreased demand for high-end smartphone applications post new product introductions in 2021 and reduced bookings from Chinese subcontractors for mobile and computing applications linked to softening economic conditions. In both 2022 and 2021, bookings by IDMs and subcontractors represented approximately 55% and 45% of total orders. Revenue and orders in 2022 were not adversely affected by trade restrictions and regulations resulting from geo-political tensions between the US and China.

Besi maintained its financial efficiency at elevated levels this year despite the adverse impact of weakening market conditions. Our gross margin increased from 59.6% in 2021 to 61.3% and operating margins remained above 40%. Operating income of € 294.1 million declined by 7.4% versus 2021 primarily due to a 48% increase in R&D spending for next generation wafer level assembly systems.

Besi’s net income of € 240.6 million decreased by € 41.8 million, or 14.8%, versus 2021 and resulted in a net margin of 33.3%. Decreased profitability was primarily due to lower spending for smartphones and in Chinese end-user markets, increased R&D spending and the absence of € 15.0 million deferred tax benefits recognized in 2021.

At year-end 2022, Besi had a strong liquidity position with total cash and deposits aggregating € 671.7 million, or an increase of € 9.9 million (+1.5%), versus Q3-22. Growth was primarily due to € 86.6 million of cash flow from operations which was used to fund (i) € 65.0 million of share repurchases, (ii) € 5.5 million of capitalized development spending and (iii) € 2.1 million of capital expenditures. Similarly, net cash of € 346.5 million at quarter end increased by 1.2% versus Q3-22.

For the full year, Besi’s cash and deposits were roughly comparable to 2021 year-end balances (-€ 0.5 million) and reflected (i) a capital allocation of € 416.3 million to shareholders and (ii) € 172.2 million of net proceeds received from the issuance of Besi’s 2022 Convertible Notes due 2029. Besi’s year-end net cash position of € 346.5 million decreased by € 23.9 million versus year end 2021 which also included the conversion into equity of € 139.9 million of our 2017 Convertible Notes.

Share Repurchase Activity
During the quarter, Besi repurchased approximately 1.2 million of its ordinary shares at an average price of € 55.41 per share for a total of € 65.0 million. For the full year, a total of approximately 2.7 million shares were repurchased at an average price of € 54.38 per share for a total of € 146.8 million. At year end 2022, Besi held approximately 3.3% of its shares outstanding in treasury.

Dividend for 2022

Given its earnings, cash flow generation and prospects, Besi’s Board of Management has proposed a cash dividend for 2022 equal to € 2.85 per share for approval at its AGM on April 26, 2023. The proposed dividend reflects a pay-out ratio of 93% and will be payable from May 4, 2023.
