Aixtron raises full year guidance
Strong customer demand expected to continue for rest of fiscal 2021
Deposition company Aixtron SE has raised its 2021 full year guidance, following a number of large orders and expected strong demand throughout 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 expects order intake in a range of €420 million to €460 million (previously: upper end of €340 million to €380 million), revenues of €400 million to €440 million (previously: upper end of €320 million to €360 million), a gross margin of approximately 40 percent of sales (previously: approximately 40 percent) and an EBIT margin of 20 percent to 22 percent of sales (previously: around 18 percent).
