Half Year Figures for 2014 Published - Seite 2

first half of 2013 included an extraordinary effect of EUR -6.0 million
from refocusing the Permanent Bonding product line. As a result, adjusted
EBIT for the first half of 2013 was EUR -9.0 million. There were no notable
extraordinary effects in the first half of 2014.

Earnings after taxes (EAT) for continuing operations amounted to EUR 2.0
million, compared to EUR -11.6 million in the previous year. Basic earnings
per share (EPS) amount to EUR 0.11 (previous year: EUR -0.61).

The Operating Cash Flow amounted to EUR -1.2 million after EUR -10.6
million in 2013. The Free Cash Flow for the first half year 2014, before
the effects of the purchase or sale of interest bearing securities,
amounted to EUR -2.4 (previous year: EUR -12.4 million). Cash and interest
bearing securities amounted to EUR 44.1 million at the end of the first
half year (June 30, 2013: EUR 23.5 million). Net liquidity amounted to EUR
33.3 million, which is below the EUR 35.7 million at December 31, 2013

Outlook
The management board of SUSS MicroTec AG reiterates the sales guidance for
the fiscal year 2014 and expects sales to be in the bandwidth of 135 - 145
EUR million. At the same time the expectation for the full year EBIT has
improved from the minus 5 to 0 EUR million bandwidth to a "slightly
positive" EBIT in 2014. The major reason for the higher EBIT expectation is
the improved earnings situation in the first half of 2014, which was partly
driven by the positive impact of the restructuring and cost saving
measures, which were taken in 2013.

For the third quarter of 2014, the Company expects an order entry within
the range of 25 - 35 EUR million. Due to an expected upswing in demand from
customers during the course of the year, the Management Board considers it
possible that order entry will return to the 30 to 40 EUR million range in
the fourth quarter of 2014.
