AIXTRON raises guidance for order intake, revenues and EBIT margin

Customer demand remains at a high level

Herzogenrath/Germany, June 09, 2021 - AIXTRON SE (FWB: AIXA) raises its full year guidance. The Company, which is one of the world's leading suppliers of deposition equipment to the semiconductor industry, was recently able to book a number of large orders and also expects strong customer demand for the remainder of the year. This very positive order situation, which exceeds expectations, will lead to an increase in shipments and revenues in fiscal year 2021.

Furthermore, order intake in the second quarter of 2021 is expected to be at a level similar to the one seen in the first quarter of 2021.

As a result, the Executive Board is increasing the guidance for the fiscal year 2021 and expects order intake in a range of EUR 420 million to EUR 460 million (previously: upper end of EUR 340 million to EUR 380 million), revenues of EUR 400 million to EUR 440 million (previously: upper end of EUR 320 million to EUR 360 million), a gross margin of approximately 40% of sales (previously: approximately 40%) and an EBIT margin of 20% to 22% of sales (previously: around 18%).
