•
Net sales for the second quarter 2015 were €201 million, an increase of 24% compared to the previous quarter. Year-on-year net sales increased with 35%.

•
New orders at €167 million were 5% above the Q1 2015 level.

•
Normalized net earnings for the second quarter 2015 decreased by €20 million compared to the first quarter 2015, due to a €40 million lower currency effect on cash held in foreign currencies, especially US dollar. Excluding those currency effects normalized net earnings increased from €39 million to €59 million. The result from investments increased with €7 million.

COMMENT
Commenting on the results, Chuck del Prado, President and Chief Executive Officer of ASM International said:
"Q2 2015 was again a strong quarter for ASMI. We realized revenues of €201 million, a sales increase of 24% over Q1 2015. Gross Margin improved further to more than 45%. Atomic Layer Deposition demand remained strong across a broad customer base. Our order intake remained healthy and was €167 million, 5% above the Q1 2015-level."


OUTLOOK
For Q3 we expect sales between €155 and €170 million, on a currency comparable level. The Q3 order intake, on a currency comparable level, is expected to be in the range of €130-150 million.
Beyond Q3 the visibility on timing of next technology node’s insertions of new equipment capacity is still limited.

INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT
On August 31, 2015 ASM International will publish its Interim Financial report for the six months ended June 30, 2015. This report comprises regulated information within the meaning of articles 1:1 and 5:25d of the Dutch Financial Markets Supervision Act (Wet op het Financieel Toezicht) and includes consolidated condensed interim financial statements prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”, an interim management board report and a management board responsibility statement. The interim financial report for the six months ended June 30, 2015 will be available online at www.asm.com as from August 31, 2015.


SHARE BUYBACK PROGRAM
On October 29, 2014, ASMI announced a share buyback program, to purchase up to an amount of EUR 100 million of its own shares within the 2014-2015 time frame. The repurchase program is part of ASMI's commitment to use excess cash for the benefit of its shareholders.

The buyback program was executed by intermediaries through on-exchange purchases or through off-exchange trades. ASMI updated the markets on the progress of the buyback program on a weekly basis. The program started on November 24, 2014, and was completed on May 20, 2015. Under the 2014-2015 share buyback program we repurchased 2,594,420 shares at an average price of €38.55.


VOLUNTARILY DELISTING FROM NASDAQ
We intend to apply to delist our ordinary shares, par value €0.04 per share, which are held in the U.S. as NY Registry Shares, from the Nasdaq Stock Market effective on or about Augustus 21, 2015.  Subsequently, we intend to seek to terminate the registration of these shares under Section 12(g) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and our reporting obligations under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Act.  We have taken this decision because of the low, and declining, trading volume in our NY Registry Shares on Nasdaq, which currently accounts for less than 1.0% of our worldwide trading volume.  We expect that our NY Registry Shares will become eligible for trading on the OTC market in the U.S. prior to the effective date of the delisting, and we intend to keep our existing NY Registry Program in place to support settlement of these shares traded on the OTC market. After deregistration, ASMI will continue to maintain the level of disclosure expected by the international financial markets.

Net sales for the second quarter 2015 increased by 24% compared to the previous quarter and by 35% year-on-year, mainly driven by higher (PE)ALD. The impact of currency changes was an increase of 4% quarter to quarter and an increase of 13% year-on-year.

The gross profit margin increased from 43.3% in Q1 to 45.1%. This highest level ever was driven by a rich product mix and further efficiency improvements. For Q2 2014 gross profit margin as a percentage of sales was 42.3%. The impact of currency changes on gross profit was an increase of 4% quarter to quarter and an increase of 12% year-on-year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 16% compared to the previous quarter. As a percentage of sales SG&A expenses were 12% (Q1 2015: 13%, Q2 2014: 13%). The impact of currency changes on SG&A expenses was an increase of 3% quarter to quarter and an increase of 10% year-on-year.

Research and development expenses increased with 15% compared to the previous quarter, driven by additional investments to fulfill customer requirements. As a percentage of sales R&D expenses were 12%, compared to 13% for the previous quarter. For the second quarter of 2014 this was 10%. The impact of currency changes on R&D expenses was an increase of 4% quarter to quarter and an increase of 15% year-on-year.

Financing costs are mainly related to translation results. A substantial part of ASMI's cash position is denominated in US dollar. Currency changes, mainly between US dollar and Euro, during Q2 resulted in a translation loss of €12 million compared to a gain of €28 million in the previous quarter.

Result from investments includes our 40% share in net earnings of ASMPT. In Q2 ASMPT showed a sales increase of 22% compared to the previous quarter, from HK$3,056 million to HK$3,752 million. Sales were 9% above the level of Q2, 2014 of HK$3,434 million. Net earnings, on a 100% basis, increased from €34 million in the previous quarter to €53 million in Q2, 2015. Q2 last year, also on a 100% basis, showed net profit at €40 million.

The amortization of the recognized intangible assets and the depreciation of the fair value adjustment for property, plant & equipment negatively impacted net earnings with €6.8 million in Q2. For the full year of 2015 this amortization and depreciation is expected to amount to €27 million. For the year 2016, on a currency comparable basis, this amount will remain at the same level.

Net working capital, consisting of accounts receivable, inventories, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, advance payments from customers and deferred revenue, increased to €149 million compared to €123 million per March 31, 2015. This increase was mainly caused by our higher accounts receivable position due to the higher activity level. The number of outstanding days of working capital, measured against quarterly sales, decreased from 68 days at March 31, 2015 to 67 days on June 30, 2015.

Sources of liquidity . On June 30, 2015, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of €363 million in cash and cash equivalents and €150 million in undrawn bank lines.

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased with 21% year-on-year, mainly driven by (PE)ALD sales, which were subsequently higher than in the comparable period last year. The impact of currency changes was an increase of 11% year on year.

(1) The calculation of diluted net earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in earnings of the Company. Only instruments that have a dilutive effect on net earnings are included in the calculation. The calculation is done for each reporting period individually. The possible increase of common shares caused by employee stock options an restricted shares for the three month ended June 30, 2015 with 1,111,873 common shares, and for the six month ended June 30, 2015 with 994,937 common shares. Adjustments have been reflected in the diluted weighted average number of shares for these periods.

ASM INTERNATIONAL N.V.
RECONCILIATION US GAAP - IFRS
Accounting principles under IFRS
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
ASMI’s primary consolidated financial statements are and will continue to be prepared in accordance with US GAAP. However, ASMI is required under Dutch law to report its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). As a result of the differences between IFRS and US GAAP that are applicable to ASMI, the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheet reported in accordance with IFRS differ from those reported in accordance with US GAAP. The major differences relate to development costs, goodwill, inventory obsolescence reserve, debt issuance fees and pension plans.
The reconciliation between IFRS and US GAAP is as follows:
