Cimetrix Announces First Quarter 2012 Financial Results

SALT LAKE CITY, UT — May 9, 2012 — Cimetrix, Incorporated (OTCQB & OTCBB: CMXX) (www.cimetrix.com), a leading provider of factory automation and equipment control software solutions for the global semiconductor, photovoltaic, LED, and other electronics industries, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2012 as follows:
·
Maintained profitability amid downward industry cycle spanning more than six months
·
First quarter 2012 net income of $15,000 compares with $290,000 in same period of 2011
·
Research and development spending as a percentage of sales remains consistent year-over-year and drives continued design wins
·
Software revenue in first quarter increased 12% compared to fourth quarter 2011, while down 27.5% from same period of 2011
·
Total revenue for the first quarter decreased 23% year-over-year from $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2011 to $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2012

Management’s Comments
“We are pleased to report that amid a slowdown during the past six months from overcapacity in each of our three addressable markets, we continued to make progress with design wins for our initial connectivity software line as well as for our next generation platform for equipment control software,” stated Bob Reback, president and CEO of Cimetrix. “This progress validates the investments we have made in research and development, which remains at approximately 14% of sales. We have a scalable business model that enables us to moderate spending according to industry cycles. As such, we have set a goal of maintaining profitability until the markets accelerate and we are able to deliver significantly higher profitability with increased tool shipments by our customers.

“Cimetrix anticipated that the fourth quarter of 2011 would be the trough of the semiconductor capital equipment downward cycle and that software revenue would begin to increase on a sequential basis during the first quarter of 2012 as semiconductor customers began to ship more machines. Consistent with this outlook, our actual results were in line with our forecast. The semiconductor industry appears to have bottomed out and is showing indications of further improvement. During the same period, we saw the effects of the dramatic decline in both the Photovoltaic (PV) and light emitting diode (LED) industries. While we expect to see the LED market rebound, we have limited visibility on meaningful opportunities in the PV market. Most of the product development and design win activity we have participated in reflect our primary focus on the semiconductor and LED markets. Given our success in these verticals, we are better positioned for revenue growth and improved profitability upon a resumption of demand.”

First Quarter 2012 Highlights
1.
New CIM300™ customer design win. The Company was awarded a new design win for the Cimetrix CIM300 SDK (Software Development Kit) to implement connectivity that complies with SEMI GEM 300 standards. This win is expected to provide new runtime license revenue in 2013.
2.
New CIMControlFramework™ design wins. Cimetrix won two key designs for the CIMControlFramework product to be used in new customer equipment currently in the design phase. While it typically takes one or more years to develop a new model of capital equipment, once the new model is launched in the marketplace, these design wins are expected to contribute increased runtime license revenue.
3.
New version of CIMPortal™ in beta testing. Cimetrix released a beta version of its CIMPortal 2.0 SDK, the software used by equipment suppliers to develop an EDA/Interface A connection, to key customers for implementation and testing. The new version supports ISMI’s 0710 Freeze Version of EDA, and includes feature upgrades and specific features for GLOBALFOUNDRIES. Once beta testing is complete, Cimetrix will release the product to the market for general availability.
4.
SEMI LED standards work. After years of investigation and analysis, the SEMI HB-LED (High Brightness) task force is now proceeding to develop industry standards. Cimetrix is playing a key role in these standards activities based on its in-depth experience in semiconductor and PV. Earlier, Cimetrix played a similar role in defining and establishing standards for both semiconductor and PV capital equipment that led to the Company’s strong revenue growth in the last 3 years.
 
 

 

Second Quarter 2012 Outlook
Cimetrix continues to pursue new design wins worldwide for software products and services. The Company expects incremental improvements in software license revenue, with the semiconductor capital equipment market driving this growth. Professional Services revenue is expected to decline on a sequential basis, since a series of projects were completed during the first quarter and newer projects are being initiated.
