Management Comments

"Despite the continued challenges to our business from the COVID-19 pandemic, we delivered second quarter results above our guidance range on better-than-expected performance in China and strength in new products," said Dr. Valentin Gapontsev, IPG Photonics' Chief Executive Officer. "Although our visibility is constrained in the current demand environment, we are demonstrating good progress in leading-edge solutions thanks to our technology differentiation and low cost production capabilities. We continue to believe that our strong balance sheet and free cash flow provide us ample flexibility to respond to business disruptions and emerge from the pandemic in a stronger competitive position."

Financial Highlights

Second quarter revenue of $296 million decreased 19% year over year. Currency depreciation relative to the exchange rates assumed in our second quarter guidance reduced revenue by approximately $2 million. Materials processing sales decreased 21% year over year due to lower sales in cutting, welding and marking applications, while sales into other applications increased 36% year over year on strength in advanced applications and devices used in medical procedures. Materials processing sales accounted for 92% of total revenue.

Sales of high power continuous wave ("CW") lasers, representing 53% of total revenue, decreased 26% year over year due to the effects of COVID-19 on the global demand environment and lower average selling prices. Sales of fiber lasers at 6 kilowatts of power or greater were more than 50% of all high power CW laser sales. By region, sales decreased 11% in China, 24% in Europe, 16% in Japan and 16% in North America on a year over year basis.

Earnings per diluted share ("EPS") of $0.71 decreased 47% year over year. Foreign exchange losses and a $1 million charge related to impairment of long-lived assets and other restructuring charges reduced EPS by $0.20. The effective tax rate in the quarter was 23%, which benefited from certain discrete tax items. During the second quarter, IPG generated $73 million in cash from operations. Capital expenditures were $20 million and stock repurchases totaled $16 million.

Business Outlook and Financial Guidance

"Second quarter book to bill was greater than 1.0, with strong bookings growth in China, offset by weaker order trends in other regions. As expected, the pace of order growth in China moderated as the second quarter progressed while we have seen modest improvement in order trends in other regions. However, visibility into a recovery in global demand remains uncertain at this time. We continue to benefit from near-term growth opportunities in ultra-high power cutting, electric vehicle battery processing and systems and devices for the medical industry. We believe the strides we are making in higher power products within our core materials processing business and new solutions will enable us emerge from the pandemic in a stronger competitive position," said Dr. Gapontsev.

For the third quarter of 2020, IPG expects revenue of $280 million to $310 million. The Company expects the third quarter tax rate to be approximately 26%. IPG anticipates delivering earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.70 to $1.00, with 53.0 million basic common shares outstanding and 53.5 million diluted common shares outstanding. Financial guidance provided this quarter is subject to greater risk and uncertainty given the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated impacts to the global business environment, public health requirements and government mandates.

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, 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 0.89, Russian Ruble 70, Japanese Yen 108 and Chinese Yuan 7.08, respectively.
