Hello and welcome to the presentation of Mycronic's Q3 report. My name is Sven Chetkovich. I'm the Director of Investor Relations at Mycronic, and with me I have Mycronic's CEO Anders Lindqvist and CFO Pierre Brorsson, who will be presenting. And with that, I hand over to Anders. Please go ahead and present Mycronic's Q3 report. Thank you very much, Sven, and most welcome to everyone to join this session. As usual, we have an agenda which is similar to before, so I will start to talk a little bit about the quarter in short. We will go a little bit deeper into the different divisions after that. Pierre will talk about the financials in depth, and also we will have a section on our work with sustainability, and then at the end of the session, we will also have the opportunity for questions and answers. As usual, also in the material which is available on our website, we also have an appendix with market information, all coming from third parties, so if I should start to summarize the third quarter, so in our opinion, we think it was a very good quarter. It was a good quarter both in terms of business performance but also in terms of activities from the company. And if we start with activities from the company, one milestone that we had during the quarter is that we shipped our first prexision system with a solid-state laser. The solid-state laser is instead of the gas laser that we normally use, and that reduces the energy consumption up to almost 99% compared to the old solution. In addition to that, we also received orders after the quarter for an upgrade from gas lasers to solid-state lasers in an already existing installation. So we are very happy now to be able to offer this. If you look on the order intake, starting a little bit on the business performance here, we could see that it decreased with 9%, but still the level is very high, close to SEK 1.5 billion, which is above our annual average that we need to reach our target for the year. Sales increased with 5% to close to SEK 1.3 billion, and also a good increase in EBIT up to SEK 263 million, which equals a margin of 21%. We have again in the quarter a record order backlog of close to SEK 4.7 billion, which is almost double as it was compared to last year, and in that backlog, we have 31 systems for pattern generators at the end of the quarter. You have also seen in previous reports that we have reported quite large numbers on the business development cost, and this has been related to a large acquisition project that we decided to terminate without a transaction at the end, and that happened also in the quarter. If you go a little bit deeper on the different divisions, starting with the Pattern Generator, so the mask writer that we delivered with the solid-state laser was a Prexision Lite 8 Evo. This is for the display industry. We received one order for an upgrade of gas lasers to one customer, which has several mask writers installed, so we're very happy to see that that effort pays off. It had a little bit of decline on the order intake compared to the same quarter, a decline by 22%, but still we received orders for three different mask writers: one Prexision 8 Evo, this is for the display industry, and two SLX mask writers, this is for the semicon industry. A good increase in sales, up to SEK 435 million, which is 77%, and we delivered three mask writers: one Prexision Lite 8 Evo and two SLX. Gross margin up to 66%, and EBIT improved to a little bit more than SEK 200 million, and the majority of the backlog I mentioned on the group is referring to pattern generators with SEK 3.4 billion, which is quite a high backlog, and we have quite fully booked orders now for many months ahead. If you go to the High Flex division, we have made a strategic change here, so we have switched product lines between High Flex and High Volume. So High Flex is now responsible for offering stencil printing, which is coming from the acquisition we made some time ago from the company HC Xin, that is China-based, which provides stencil printers for application of solder paste. And the logic behind that is very much the same: customer-based as in High Flex, and also has a natural position in a full-line solution with other equipment from High Flex. So High Flex will be now able to offer complete solutions to meet all different customer demands when it comes to solder paste dispensing. We are also very happy with the business performance in High Flex. We have seen that the market is strong in Europe and also in North America, which is where we have our majority of our footprint and our sales. But we also have seen that the demand in China and Asia has been weak, as it has been the previous months as well. Order intake up 15% and sales up 7%, very stable gross margin at 41%, and we're very happy with the EBIT of 60 million, which equals to 16%. So I think very good performance from the High Flex division. Backlog at 240, which is, I would say, quite a normal number for us in this business. On the High Volume, so on the other side of this switch between product lines, High Volume is taking over dispensing globally. We had a dual product line that was also offered to High Flex before, but now we have decided that High Volume takes the global responsibility for both what the product line is called MYSmart dispensing products and also including then the Mexico office from High Flex. So everything with dispensing is now offered through the High Volume division. On the business performance, we saw a small recovery in China, especially in the mobile phone segment during the quarter, and also continued good demand from the electric vehicle industry. Nevertheless, compared to one year ago, the same quarter, we had a decline in order intake with 19% and sales decreased with 39%. In this division, we have a high flexibility when it comes to managing costs, and we're very happy to see that we can maintain the same gross margin as the same quarter last year of 41% and an EBIT decline down to 41, but maintaining an EBIT margin of 17%. Backlog is at 700, which is also quite normal for our business here. If we then move to the Global Technologies, so one event that happened during the quarter is that we had an acting Senior Vice President from this division, Magnus Martinsson. He has now taken over this role permanently, so he will be the head of division going forward. On the market, we still see a little bit of sluggish market demand, especially from China. However, I've seen there's a good boost from AI-driven or AI-related demand, and this is applicable both to our die-bonding business and as well as our electrical test business. We had an increase in order intake of 8%, very much supported by good performance and good development in the die-bonding business. Sales almost flat, down 1%, margin at 37%, and EBIT lower than last year at SEK 10 million, which is equal to 5% and a backlog of SEK 300 million. So when it comes to the end of the year, which is coming closer and closer, we continue to confirm our sales target for the year of SEK 5.5 billion. And with that, I will hand over to Pierre Brorsson, who will now go a little bit deeper into the numbers. Thank you. Good morning. Good morning from my side as well. And if we start by looking at the trend over the last 12 months, I think we can note two positive things in this, and the first one being that the profit margin is moving slightly upwards. You will see that more clear in the specific quarter on the next picture. We can also see that for the 11th quarter in a row, we have growing aftermarket revenues, and this is a very important foundation for our business in the various legs that we have, and this is now up to SEK 1.6 billion. Looking on the quarter by quarter, you can see here that we have, for the first time during my two years, a margin in line with our long-term profitability ambitions of above 20%. And this is largely driven by a strong quarter in the Pattern Generators, but also solid results in High Flex and in High Volume. On this chart, you see that we have been a couple of quarters around the SEK 1.2 billion, and given our outlook for the fourth quarter, we will have a very strong ending of the year where we need to be between SEK 1.7 billion and SEK 1.8 billion, and we have the orders that are necessary to be able to have that as a forecast for the fourth quarter. Looking a little bit in the income statement, where we have done well and maybe not so well as well, you can see that we have improved the gross margin, both with volume slightly and the relative margin, and this is largely driven by strong development in the Pattern Generators, and foremost that the share of the Mycronic sales that is coming from Pattern Generators moved up significantly in the quarter versus the same quarter last year. On the cost side, we have actually lower operating costs than we had last year despite inflation and a slight volume increase, and this stems mainly from the High Volume division, where we have a high portion of variable cost. We have not made any significant redundancies, but rather good cost control and a limited outcome on the variable part of the pay there. In this other, outside the operating cost, this is mainly an effect of unrealized and realized FX changes that we have during this quarter, which was negative, and last year, same quarter, was somewhat positive. This resulted in an EBIT of SEK 263 million, which is then SEK 60 million above last year. Looking at it, slicing it in the other direction, meaning the different business units we have, we have strong improvement in the Pattern Generators. We had also a significant improvement in the High Flex division. On the High Volume side, I think, as Anders mentioned, we are happy with the relative profitability despite the volume, and it has been a challenging environment in being relatively dependent on investments from the 3C industry in China, as we are with the High Volume division, but really good adaptation to the new volume level and strong relative result despite low volumes. On the Global Technologies side, we had good order intake in the die bonding entity, driven by AI mainly there. Still a little bit low profitability, but we do see good signs of improvement in that part of the business. On the group functions, we did have a little bit of residual business development costs, but the majority of this is also related to FX, which we have on group level as well for internal loans and other things, transactions. So this is then making the outcome 263 or 21%. Cash flow-wise, we have a strong contribution from the operating result. In the quarter, we had somewhat less positive in the change in the working capital, and this is largely driven by increased inventory to do the deliveries we need to do in the fourth quarter, mainly on the pattern generators. When we look at it on a yearly basis, we have a strong contribution from the advance payments that we get on the large projects in particular. On the financing side, we have the majority is related then to the dividend, and we continue to report a very solid cash position, and this is based both for the resilience in case of a downturn in an unsecure environment, as well as potential to use for acquisitions and other things going forward. And with that, I hand the word back to Anders. Okay. Thank you, Pierre. So to the end here, always have a section on sustainability, and I think it's obvious that what we feel as a big achievement in our contribution to sustainability is that we saw the first delivery of a precision mask writer system equipped with solid-state laser. So the solid-state laser can replace the gas laser in our equipment, and it will reduce the energy consumption from the laser up to 99%. Sounds a lot, and it is a lot. And if you look on our total footprint, our total impact on CO2 emission, the use of products for us is the largest area of impact, and in that use of product, the mask writers and the laser, the energy consumption from the laser is the major contributing factor. So this is a big step forward for us to be able to impact this for the future. And in addition, equally nice, I think, or equally good, is that we also received an order for an upgrade from a customer in Asia with several systems installed and want to upgrade to solid-state lasers on the installed base. I think this is a very strong commitment from the customer. It's not always that this kind of investment is supported economically, but for sure, for the investment in sustainability, it makes a lot of sense. So we see these two events as a major milestone in our effort and contribution to sustainable electronics production. Okay. Thank you, and now we move into the question and answer session. Yes. Thank you, Anders and Pierre. So now we are ready to take questions, and I believe we will start off with Mikael Laséen from Carnegie. Please go ahead, Mikael. Yes. Good morning. Thank you. I have a few questions. I just want to start with this transaction that you didn't decide to go through with, and if you can elaborate on the reasons for this and if it was your decision or the seller and if it was maybe acquired by another company? If you can give some more color on it, it would be great. I think, first of all, I think it's important to say that we are having an active acquisition strategy. We have a solid financial position. We have a mission to double this company in the coming years. So we are and will be active in this space. Sometimes there will be a situation where buyer and seller will, at the end, not meet, and then this was what happened here, and we will not take any desperate moves to just complete something, to have something completed because we have a solid financial position or anything like that. But this was a sizable, complex transaction that we decided in the end not to go further with. Okay. Sounds on your answer that it was primarily the price that was not. I will not go into the details, but it was a complex transaction which entailed a lot of things, yes. Okay, and can you say something on your M&A pipeline, how that looks and your work there, if you have more lined up? I mean, we are in the electronic space, and this space is relatively significant. Transactions, if they happen and when they happen, it's very hard to time. I think we have a solid position in what we do. This is our main priority, and we will be looking at building on that more than having to complete one transaction per year or anything like that. Okay, and another question is more on the market situation. Can you talk about China and elaborate on that market for you and comment on the development for your four segments in China? Yes. So as you know, China is a large part of our sales and also our coverage, and it looks a little bit different in different segments. I think if you take the High Volume division, which is most impacted by China as having the majority of sales in China and also addressing, to a large extent, the consumer electronics segment globally. So China market in general is a little bit slow, although we have seen some small signs of recovery from consumer electronics, especially in the mobile phone industry. There are some pockets in the industry which are still very strong, like electric vehicle and also semiconductor in China. So it's a little bit different depending on if you drill down in the segment a little bit further. So High Volume is the most impacted by this slow demand in China. Also from Global Technologies, both from electrical test and from die bonding, a large part of sales is in China and that we have seen in the numbers, although we recently saw some pickup on the die bonding business driven by very much more demand driven from AI-related applications. On the High Flex, our exposure in China is not that large, even though we are down in China from that division as well. Globally, that is compensated by good demand in Europe and also North America. I think Pattern Generators have a little bit of different demand driver. It's not so much. It's more the technology, and we sell much, much earlier in the cycle because of the long time, both the lead time from our side and, of course, decision time for customers, but also the need of building up an infrastructure around our equipment, the whole production line and so on. Here we have seen, I think we have seen in the order intake that we have had quite good demand both from the display industry. Display industry is primarily Asia and also semiconductor industry, which is also quite a lot Asia, but also North America. Okay. Thank you so much. I'll get back in line. Okay, so now we will move over to Danske Bank and Adolf Baratari. Please go ahead, Adolf. Yes. Thank you. Good morning. First question will be on the solid-state laser. Will you say that this is a big retrofit market? And then in that, how much machine can you retrofit every year? And then will it be even more positive for the retrofit trend, or do you see that it's not more the case right now? That will be my first question. Thank you. Okay. So theoretically and technically, it is possible to replace all the gas lasers with solid-state lasers. So every customer who wants to do this, we will be able to do that. And that is also for the installed base as well for the new system deliveries. There is some effort needed on the customer side to change the laser system because they will need to requalify a lot of other things in their production. So it's not a single decision only which kind of laser to have. It's also have some other impact. So it will be a choice of the customer. We will, of course, offer both and promote the solid-state laser given its better energy efficiency. But at the end, it will be a choice from the customer which way to go if they want to upgrade, if they want the new equipment with the solid-state laser or the gas laser. Most likely, it will not make sense to upgrade very old equipment in the field. So I think we will see a majority of upgrades will likely be sold on the more recently sold systems. But there is a choice from the customer in which way to go because of this requalification process in the production environment. And for the reassuring trend, do you think that it may help or not? I think both financially and reassuring-wise, I think this is not a significant financial impact on Mycronic, and it has not a significant reassuring relevance as well. However, it has a significant importance to the CO2 footprint that you get out of the equipment that we are delivering. Okay. Thank you, and then the last question will be on that we see more and more growing list of export restrictions outside of the U.S. What do you see and what are your clients saying to you on this situation? This is a complex world that we are starting to live in, a divided world to a large extent as well. We are currently supplying a lot to China, which I think is the main reason for your question. We are, of course, living by all the regulations, and these are many, and we are certainly having to apply for export licenses and so on. With that said, I think it's also fair to say that even on the pattern generators on the semiconductor side, we are not supplying leading-edge technology, which is necessary for the most advanced semiconductors, so we are a little bit further down in the supply chain and thereby, so far, at least not so much affected by it, except that we have to apply for certain permits and things. Yeah. I think you can say with the current regulations, we have almost no impact on our current business. And there was a little bit of clarification on the regulations just recently issued. It actually only will make it a little bit easier for us in the application process. Great. Thank you. That's all for me. Okay. Thank you very much. So now we will move over to Anders Rudolfsson from DNB. Please go ahead, Anders. Thank you. First of all, congratulations to another strong report. My first question comes into the strong order intake you have in SLX machines. This is a market where Applied Materials have been very strong during the years, and suddenly you get 16 machines here in a short while. Can you perhaps comment a little bit on that? Why is it like that, and why do they choose Mycronic? Yeah. I can talk about that. And yeah, we are, of course, also very happy with that order intake. And if you remember when we launched the machine, we targeted to sell, I don't remember, was it five or six per year or something like that, and we are almost double that. And it's true, the main competitor is Applied Materials. If you compare what we offer and what they offer, we have a much more modern machine with higher productivity, so more value actually for the investment, I would say. And we have seen that the majority of our sales have been into new installations or addition of installations because there has been a global market expansion of the semiconductor industry and the manufacturing industry of semiconductors. So we believe that we have taken almost a majority of these orders in that space. On the other hand, Applied Materials have a large installed base. This is a more challenging sales to replace something that the customer already has. But we believe that what we offer is also better in terms of performance and also for future-proof production and so on. But that is a little bit a more difficult sell, but still, I believe we will take a major part of this business as well. So I think the answer why we are so successful is that we have a really good product, I think, and a very good presence in this industry. We were active in the semiconductor industry 10 years ago with other equipment called Omega and similar equipment, and customers are still running these machines. So we still have a presence as the relevant customers. So I think that helps us a lot. To follow up on that one, how big do you think this market can be for you? I think we can see that this is difficult to say. I think the replacement market is quite big, and so far we haven't sold a lot of replacements. I think that can be going on for many years going forward. The installed base is larger than 200 systems not supplied by us, and those are getting older and will need to be replaced during the next 10 years, and I think that could give a solid base for a continuous market. I think the new investments and the new factories will be somewhat more cyclical, most likely, and we are in a very good situation right now. Great. Well, good luck on that one. The second question I have is regarding the gross margin. It's been very strong in this quarter, and you're talking about that we will probably see a better margin going forward. Are we heading to a new kind of new level here, or is it was for this quarter? I think if we look at it division by division, I think we are happy where we are with the High Flex and High Volume, where we are north of 40, which is kind of the bottom. We need to take also Global Technologies to that level. They are slightly below in the quarter. For Pattern Generators, it will be a little bit more volatile, but we do think that we have done the right things in our assembly manufacturing where we have lowered the cost on the SLX as we have got the volume up. And we think that delivering a high number of equipment will also support a strong gross margin in the Pattern Generators going forward. Then when you look at the whole Mycronic, it will always be a blend, and this blend will be a little bit different from quarter to quarter. All right. And the final one for me is regarding the aftermarket. And you said you were up to 31% now. Where do you think this will be in a year or two ahead? I think that we don't target to have this as a specific number. If we sell a lot of equipment, the relative share will go down. We target to grow this quarter on quarter. I think this is what is important. And we have some good things also coming there when we speak about the SLX, where we haven't had much aftermarket revenue yet, but where the installed base is coming out of the warranty period and starting to generate aftermarket revenue as we speak. So we will continue to grow that part most certainly. And in the other divisions, we are having this as a key theme for improving the company, improving the customer satisfaction, and then also improving the profitability. Great. Well, that's all from me, and I go back in line. Thank you. Thank you very much, Anders. And now we move over to Handelsbanken and Fredrik Lithell. Please go ahead, Fredrik. Thank you very much. Thank you for taking my questions as well. Maybe start off with touching a little bit on where Mikael was with his question on the terminated M&A deal and the costs you have had associated to that in your corporate functions. So should they now normalize? Have they been impacted in Q3 as well? And are they sliding lower in Q4 due to the fact of the termination? So that's one question. Pierre, also for you, maybe the effects from moving stenciling to High Flex and moving MySmart to High Volume, is that netting out, or is that part of the margin rise in High Flex in the quarter? Could you elaborate a little bit on that so we know if this has a meaningful impact on top line or EBIT? And finally, why is it not a bigger contributor from the solid-state laser technology when you do an upgrade in machines? It would be interesting to hear more elaboration on that. Thank you. Okay. If we start with the business development costs that we had, we had a little bit in the quarter. In total, all business development costs, we communicated, I think, a number of SEK 15 million in the quarter, and for this specific project, there will be no costs going forward. I hope that we will have large business development costs because of other interesting potential acquisitions and other opportunities in the future someday, but for now, we will not incur any cost on this project anymore, and thereby they will at this time normalize, then you had a question on High Flex High Volume transition, and it's actually very much a wash for both for this year. If you go back in the comparative numbers, especially for the fourth quarter last year, you will see that we have adjusted the High Flex numbers down quite distinctly. We had a small write-down on intangibles, etc., that affected the third quarter, but for the profitability, this is not the driver in the changed numbers for the good numbers for High Flex in the quarter, and then financially, on the solid-state laser, the laser cost in relation to a machine is not so big that it has an impact on Mycronic level. All right. Thank you. And just to follow up on that one, to understand the retrofit market part of this, when one of your customers is signing on a contract to retrofit all their machines, how complex type of project is that for the customer? And how much of sort of revenue on a consulting basis or engineer basis is this providing you with when you do these retrofits? Is this swap in itself or? Yeah, so technically, on the equipment, it's some changes, but not major, and we are used to much more difficult upgrades and changes than this one, I would say, so this is not any increased challenge for us when it comes to upgrades, and technically, it's possible to retrofit all of our old Precision, right. Not all of FPSs on the other hand, but the Prexisions for sure, but as you say, the hurdle will most likely be the customer's process, how much of requalification and changes in the other steps in the production chain they will need to do, and that will change from case to case, so we don't really have, how do you say, a forecast or an idea on how many actually will do this one. I think the energy saving in terms of cost versus the investment is not really justifying an upgrade on its own, but in combination with the environment efficiency or the impact on the environment, I think it makes sense. So it depends a little bit on the customer's objectives and strategy when it comes to that. Thank you. I go back in line. Thank you. Okay. Thank you, Fredrik. So several of you have said that you will go back in line, and now we are ready for additional questions. So please jump in if you have any additional questions at this moment. Okay. It seems we have no more questions. So thank you very much then for attending today's Q3 presentation. Thank you.
