MEMSCAP Announces Its Earnings for Fiscal Year 2011 and Confirms the Positive Trend Initiated in Q4 2011

Regulatory News:

Memscap (Paris:MEMS), the leading provider of innovative solutions based on MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) technology, today announced its earnings for fiscal year 2011 ending December 31, 2011.

Analysis of the consolidated income statement

Matching previous quarterly press releases, revenue for fiscal year 2011 amounted to EUR 10.0 million (US$ 13.9 million) compared to EUR 13.0 million (US$ 17.3 million) for fiscal year 2010. Consolidated revenue distribution by market segment, over fiscal year 2011, is as follows:

Market segments       Revenue (M€)       %
Aerospace       4.4       44%
Optical Communications / Adaptive Optics 2.4 24%
Medical / Biomedical 2.3 23%
Other Applications 0.9 9%
Total       10.0       100%

(Any apparent discrepancies in totals are due to rounding.)

After a strong growth of sales volumes in 2010, the Group experienced in fiscal year 2011 a decrease of its revenue by 23% compared to last year. This evolution was mainly due to a temporary slowdown of the demand in the market segment of optical communications which resulted from inventory reduction by the major system vendors over the first 9 months of fiscal year 2011. The fourth quarter of 2011 was thus marked by a sharp upturn in Group sales in this sector, resulting in a quarterly consolidated revenue of EUR 3.0 million (US$ 4.1 million). This sales volume is substantially identical to the consolidated revenue observed during the fourth quarter of 2010.

The decline in sales volumes during fiscal year 2011 led to an unfavorable volume effect on the production structure of the Group. The gross margin rate for fiscal year 2011 stood at 26.8% versus 39.5% in 2010. At the end of December 2011, consolidated gross margin amounted to EUR 2.7 million versus EUR 5.2 million for fiscal year 2010.

This unfavorable effect was however limited by the control of the operating expenses. Operating expenses in 2011 amounted to EUR 4.7 million versus EUR 5.4 million for fiscal 2010. The evolution of the operating expenses, -13.5% compared to 2010, is mainly due to the continuation of cost reduction programs aiming at the increase of the Group industrial productivity. The operating loss for fiscal year 2011 amounted to EUR (1.9) million versus operations at break-even level for fiscal year 2010.

The financial loss for fiscal year 2011 amounted to EUR (0.2) million versus a financial income at break-even level for fiscal year 2010. No deferred income tax profit was accounted in 2011 and 2010.

Net loss from continuing operations amounted to EUR (2.0) million against net income from continuing operations at breakeven during fiscal year 2010. It is reminded that in 2010, the loss related to the INTUISKIN division amounted to EUR (0.4) million for the 5-month period from January 1st, 2010 to May 26th, 2010 (the effective date of the sale of the INTUISKIN division).

Net loss for fiscal year 2011 integrating discontinued operations amounted to EUR (2.0) million versus a net loss of EUR (0.4) million in 2010. Basic earnings per share of the consolidated entity is (0.43) euro for 2011 versus (0.08) euro for 2010 euro. Basic earnings per share from continuing operations is (0.43) euro for 2011 versus 0.00 euro for 2010.

Consolidated cash flow evolution

In million euros       2011       2010
Consolidated cash flow:            
Operating cash flow 0.6 0.7
Investing cash flow (1.1) (0.7)
Financing cash flow 0.1 (0.6)
Net foreign exchange difference -- (0.1)
Net consolidated cash flow       (0.4)       (0.7)

(Any apparent discrepancies in totals are due to rounding.)

Despite the decline of the Group's sales over the first 9 months of fiscal year 2011, cash flow generated from operating activities, EUR 0.6 million, remains in line with the level observed in 2010, EUR 0.7 million. This evolution is mainly due to the control of the consolidated working capital requirement.

Cash flow consumed by investing activities amounted to EUR 1.1 million (2010: EUR 0.7 million) and included up to 0.5 million of capitalized development costs in accordance with the continuation of the research & development programs of the Group (2010: EUR 0.4 million) and acquisitions of industrial equipments for EUR 0.4 million.

Moreover, the management of the Group's financing structure resulted in a positive cash flow of EUR 0.1 million for fiscal year 2011.

Available liquidities, including cash and non-current financial assets, amounted to EUR 1.7 million at December 31, 2011 versus EUR 2.2 million at December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2011, the available unused credit lines amounted to EUR 0.3 million (2010: EUR 0.2 million).

Perspectives

At December 31, 2011, the consolidated shareholders’ equity amounted to EUR 17.3 million. This position has been strengthened with an additional EUR 1.2 million following the success of the capital increase with preferential subscription rights finalized on February 7, 2012.

This transaction enables MEMSCAP to increase the intensity and the scope of its commercial and technical developments in 2012. Consequently, the Group expects the trend initiated during the fourth quarter of 2011 to continue over 2012.

Shareholders meeting: June 28, 2012
