Management Comments
"IPG grew revenues 22% year over year to a record $235.1 million for the second quarter of 2015, as we continue to expand market penetration of fiber lasers in materials processing applications," said Dr. Valentin Gapontsev, IPG Photonics' Chief Executive Officer. "Through our increasing scale, continued innovation and operating efficiencies, we achieved a gross margin of 54.7% and increased earnings per diluted share by 25% year-over-year to $1.15."
Expansion in existing and new OEM customers delivered a 21% increase in materials processing sales for the second quarter of 2015. High-power fiber lasers sales grew strongly increasing by 27%, and IPG also had healthy growth in medium-power, low-power and QCW lasers. Sales for other applications, including advanced applications, telecom and medical applications, increased 54% from the same quarter last year, and as a group accounted for 5% of total revenue. Geographically, IPG delivered its highest sales growth in Asia followed by lower levels of growth in Europe and North America.
In the second quarter, earnings per diluted share increased by 25% to a record $1.15, which includes $0.04 per share related to foreign exchange losses as compared to a $0.01 foreign exchange loss in 2014. The growth in earnings per share was driven by the increase in revenue and an improvement in operating margins.
During the second quarter, IPG generated $49.4 million in cash from operations and used $18.6 million to finance capital expenditures. IPG ended the quarter with $571.5 million in cash and cash equivalents after repayment of an $11 million term loan which matured in the second quarter.
Business Outlook and Financial Guidance
"In the second quarter, our book-to-bill ratio continued to be significantly better than one. As we enter the second half of 2015, we remain focused on establishing partnerships with new OEMs and end-users, deepening our relationships with existing customers and developing the next generation of fiber laser-based products to address new markets and applications," concluded Dr. Gapontsev.
IPG Photonics expects revenue in the range of $235 million to $250 million for the third quarter of 2015. The Company anticipates earnings per diluted share in the range of $1.15 to $1.30 based on 53,442,000 diluted common shares, which includes 52,657,000 basic common shares outstanding and 785,000 potentially dilutive options at June 30, 2015.





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 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 0.92, Russian Ruble 57 and Japanese Yen 124, respectively.
