Management Comments
"We are very pleased with our results and
execution this quarter as an increasing geographic and product
diversification helped us deliver one of the highest quarterly
revenues in the Company's history," said Dr. Eugene Scherbakov, IPG
Photonics’ Chief Executive Officer. "Growth in demand in welding
applications across most geographies and higher revenue in cutting
in North America and Europe as well as emerging products and
applications, such as foil cutting, cleaning, 3D printing,
drilling, medical and solar cell applications drove strong revenue
in the quarter, despite significantly softer demand in cutting
applications in China."
Financial Highlights
Third quarter revenue of $379 million increased
19% year over year. Materials processing sales accounted for 91% of
total revenue and increased 19% year over year driven by higher
sales in welding, marking and additive manufacturing applications,
while revenue in Other applications increased 17% year over year
due to higher medical sales.
Increased sales in welding and strong growth in
cutting in North America and Europe were offset by lower revenue in
cutting applications in China, which resulted in a decrease of 4%
year over year in sales of high power continuous wave (CW) lasers.
Pulsed and medium power lasers revenue increased, driven by growth
in emerging products and applications. Systems also generated solid
growth in the quarter helped by a sharp increase in LightWELD
sales. By region, sales increased 50% in Europe and 55% in North
America, and decreased 7% in China, on a year-over-year basis.
Earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $1.40
increased 112% year over year. Foreign exchange gains increased EPS
by $0.04. The effective tax rate in the quarter was 26%. During the
third quarter, IPG generated $102 million in cash from operations.
Capital expenditures were $40 million and stock repurchases totaled
$36 million in the quarter.
Business Outlook and Financial Guidance
"Third quarter book-to-bill was slightly greater
than one as we continued to see strong demand from emerging
products and applications and benefit from macro trends such as
investments into EV, clean energy and automation. We remain excited
about growth prospects for IPG in EV applications, medical,
handheld laser, ultrafast lasers, and many other opportunities,
which we believe will drive our revenue growth in the future.
However, ongoing weakness in cutting applications in China resulted
in a more cautious near-term outlook," concluded Dr.
Scherbakov.
For the fourth quarter of 2021, IPG expects
revenue of $330 to $360 million. The Company expects the fourth
quarter tax rate to be approximately 25%. IPG anticipates
delivering earnings per diluted share in the range of $1.00 to
$1.30.
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,
government and Company measures implemented to address the COVID-19
pandemic, supply chain constraints, product demand, order
cancellations and delays, competition, tariffs, trade policy
changes 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 0.86,
Russian Ruble 73, Japanese Yen 112 and Chinese Yuan 6.49,
respectively.
Appointment of John Peeler as Non-executive Chairman of
the Board
Effective October 29, 2021, John Peeler, Lead
Independent Director of the Company, assumed the role of
non-executive Chairman of the Board of Directors (the Board). Mr.
Peeler was appointed to the Board in 2012 and has served as Lead
Independent Director since 2017. Mr. Peeler succeeds the late Dr.
Valentin P. Gapontsev, founder of the Company, who had been
appointed executive Chairman of the Board after the roles of
Chairman and CEO were separated in May 2021.
