AIXTRON SE revises 2015 revenue guidance to a new range of EUR 190m to 200m
H2/15 EBITDA break-even target reiterated

Herzogenrath, Germany, October 13, 2015 - AIXTRON SE (ISIN DE000A0WMPJ6), a
worldwide leading provider of deposition equipment to the semiconductor
industry, announced today the revision of its revenue guidance for the full
year 2015. This is due to a postponement of shipments to a large Chinese
customer which were planned for delivery in 2015. These deliveries are now
expected for 2016 depending on the progress of the ongoing milestone based
qualification process.

New 2015 full year revenue guidance
Following the above mentioned postponement of shipments as well as the
consideration of current opportunities and risks, the revised 2015 full
year revenue guidance is now expected to be in the range of EUR 190 to 200
million (original revenue guidance: EUR 220m to 250m). The guidance to
reach EBITDA break-even within the second half of 2015 is reiterated. The
guidance is based on the USD/EUR exchange rate of September 30, 2015.

The results of the first nine months and the third quarter of 2015 will be
published as scheduled on October 27, 2015.
