Analysis of the consolidated income statement
In line with the previous quarterly press releases, MEMSCAP
reported an audited revenue of EUR 14,073 thousand for FY 2023
compared to EUR 9,336 thousand for FY 2022, thus a growth of 50.7%

Consolidated revenue distribution by market segment, over FY

Revenue from continuing operations for FY 2023 increased by
+50.7% in euros and by +54.7% in US dollars compared to FY 2022.
Sales made in US dollars represented approximately 62% of
consolidated revenue from continuing operations in FY 2023.
Aerospace sales amounted to EUR 8,801 thousand (+EUR 2,072
thousand / +30.8% vs. FY 2022) and confirmed the strong recovery of
this business in the wake of FY 2021 and following the weakening
impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Aerospace business represents
62.5% of consolidated revenue from continuing operations (FY 2022:
72.1%) and remains the Group's leading market segment. Medical
sales amounted to EUR 3,589 thousand and also demonstrated high
levels of activity, showing an increase of EUR 1,109 thousand
compared to FY 2022 (+44.7% vs 2022).
The optical communications division, whose commercial activities
started in January 2023 following the implementation of a fabless
organization, recorded a revenue of EUR 1,555 thousand for FY
2023.
Royalties from licensed trademarks, including the Ioma brand,
contributed to a revenue of EUR 128 thousand, consistent with the
previous financial year.

(Financial data were subject to an audit by the Group’s
statutory auditors who will issue their reports at a later date. On
March 27th, 2024, the MEMSCAP’s board of directors authorized the
release of the FY 2023 consolidated financial statements. Any
apparent discrepancies in totals are due to rounding.) * Net of
research & development grants.
The significant increase in sales volumes, as well as the
product mix effect, impacted the Group's gross margin rate, which
stood at 42.9% compared to 39.4% in the previous year. The
consolidated gross margin thus amounted to EUR 6,040 thousand
compared to EUR 3,677 thousand for FY 2022.
Operating expenses, net of research and development grants,
amounted to EUR 3,563 thousand compared to EUR 3,441 million for FY
2022. Net of research and development grants, the amount of
research and development expenses was EUR 1,402 thousand for FY
2023, compared to EUR 1,510 thousand for the previous year, and
included the development of new generations of avionics products.
Net research and development expenses, including grants, thus
represented 10.0% of the consolidated revenue (2022: 16.2%). As
part of the Group's business growth, sales and administrative
expenses increased by +18.7% and +8.0%, respectively, for FY 2023
compared to FY 2022.
The average full-time equivalent workforce of the Group related
to continuing operations increased from 41.3 employees in FY 2022
to 54.5 employees in FY 2023, representing a growth of +31.9%.
For FY 2023, the Group posted an operating profit from
continuing operations of EUR 2,477 thousand (17.6% of revenue)
compared to an operating profit of EUR 236 thousand for FY 2022.
The net financial loss of EUR 304 thousand for FY 2023 (2022:
Non-significant net financial gain), included notably a foreign
exchange loss of EUR 234 thousand (2022: Foreign exchange gain of
EUR 138 thousand). The tax expense recognized over FY 2023 and FY
2022 corresponded to the variation in deferred tax assets. This tax
expense had no impact on the Group's cash position.
The Group therefore reported a net profit after tax from
continuing operations of EUR 2,140 thousand (15.2% of revenue) for
FY 2023 compared to a net profit of EUR 151 thousand for FY
2022.
Including the profit of continuing and discontinued operations,
the Group reported a net profit of EUR 2,140 thousand (15.2% of
revenue) for FY 2023 compared to a net profit of EUR 1,048 thousand
for FY 2022. It is recalled that the net profit for FY 2022
included the exceptional capital gain of EUR 1,754 thousand
resulting from the sale of assets dedicated to the foundry activity
(Custom Products – Discontinued operations in FY 2022) held by the
Group's US subsidiary.
Evolution of the Group’s cash / Consolidated shareholders’
equity
The adjusted EBITDA1 for continuing operations in FY 2023
amounted to EUR 3,263 thousand (23.2% of revenue) compared to EUR
1,443 thousand for FY 2022. It is noted that research and
development costs were fully recognized as expenses and were not
capitalized in the Group's balance sheet over FY 2023.
As of December 31, 2023, the Group posted available cash of EUR
6,237 thousand (December 31, 2022: EUR 5,456 thousand) including
cash investments (Corporate bonds / investment securities) recorded
under non-current financial assets. In a context of very strong
business growth and increased production, MEMSCAP generated a
positive cash flow from continuing operational activities of EUR
1,752 thousand compared to EUR 1,411 thousand in FY 2022.
As of December 31, 2023, the amount of debts and financial
borrowings (excluding lease liabilities) stood at EUR 128 thousand,
and net available cash (excluding lease liabilities) amounts to EUR
6,109 thousand.
As of December 31, 2023, MEMSCAP shareholders’ equity totalled
EUR 17,676 thousand (December 31, 2022: EUR 15,587 thousand).
1 Adjusted EBITDA means operating profit before depreciation,
amortisation, and share-based payment charge (IFRS 2) and including
foreign exchange gains/losses related to ordinary activities.
Perspectives
The financial year 2023 initiates MEMSCAP's trajectory towards
its ambition expressed in the 4G Plan 2026. The Aerospace / Medical
segment remains the main driver both in terms of growth and
profitability. The optical communications, while remaining a
profitability support factor for the Group, continue to display
significant volatility due to the Asian context and investments
dedicated to optical fiber.
“Growth and profitability in financial year 2023 reinforce our
initial ambition outlined in the 4G Plan 2026. Regarding our
aerospace activities, MEMSCAP teams are currently focused on
providing industrial and commercial solutions for the engine
control market and winning an increasing number of innovative
programs to prepare the post-2026 period.” said Jean Michel Karam,
President and CEO of MEMSCAP. “In the medical sector, we are
expanding the use of our sensors for a variety of applications.
MEMSCAP's high profitability, strong balance sheet, together with
our expertise combined with solid entry barriers resulting of years
of development, now allow us to select our partners and target
markets and refine a sustainable high-margin model that is not
subject to price erosion. Regardless of the intrinsic volatility of
the optical communications market, our growth engines in Aerospace
and Medical support the trajectory of the 4G plan and its landing
in 2026.”

(1) The transfer of the “Optical Communications” activities from
the US subsidiary Memscap Inc. to its parent company Memscap S.A.,
finalized in the second half of 2023, is similar to a restructuring
operation exclusively internal to the Group, the effects of which
have been eliminated in consolidation. Consequently, this operation
has no impact on the consolidated income statement for the
financial year, on the asset and debt items of the consolidated
balance sheet as well as on the total amount of shareholders'
equity for the 2023 financial year.
