Daar is hij dan, het Q4 rapport. Het afgelopen kwartaal was geen hoogtepunt, maar positief is dat de verkopen weer gaan aantrekken en dat de studie naar de onderwaardering voor de aandeelhoudersvergadering in mei afgerond zal zijn. Reden genoeg om positief naar de toekomst van dit aandeel te kijken.

ASM International N.V. reports Fourth Quarter 2012 and Full Year 2012 Operating Results

ALMERE, The Netherlands - March 05, 2013 - ASM International N.V. (NASDAQ: ASMI and Euronext Amsterdam: ASM) reports today its fourth quarter 2012 and full year 2012 (unaudited) operating results in accordance with US GAAP.

Highlights

Net sales for the fourth quarter 2012 were EUR 320 million, a decrease of 22% quarter-to-quarter and 9% year-on-year. Net sales of our Front-end segment decreased 3% quarter-to-quarter, completely driven by currencies. Back-end sales decreased by 28% (excluding currency impact 25%).

Result from operations for Q4 2012 was EUR (4) million. Result from operations in Q3 2012 was EUR 32 million while Q4 of 2011 showed a profit of EUR 19 million.

The Front-end segment's operating profit was EUR 1.2 million compared to a loss of EUR 1.6 million quarter-to-quarter. Q4 2011 showed an operating profit of EUR 9.5 million;
The Back-end segment operating loss was EUR 5.3 million compared to a profit of EUR 33.6 million quarter-to-quarter. Q4 2011 showed an operating profit of EUR 9.5 million.

Fourth quarter 2012 net earnings were EUR (22) million compared to net earnings of EUR 5 million for the third quarter of 2012 and EUR 15 million for the fourth quarter of 2012

Book to bill in the fourth quarter of 2012 was 1.0. For the Front-end, the book to bill was 1.4, and for the Back-end segment 0.8. The Backlog compared to the end of the third quarter 2012, remained stable at EUR 289 million.

Soft call on €150 million convertible bond took place in November. Further deleveraging ASM International by making the Front-end business debt free.
Comment

Commenting on the results, Chuck del Prado, President and Chief Executive Officer of ASM International, said:
"Front-end results came in stronger than expected. Our Front-end sales, on a currency comparable level, showed a stable development quarter on quarter. Our Front-end gross margin improved strongly, mainly due to a better mix. Also our Front-end order intake was strong with 129 million euro. Our Back-end operation in Q4 experienced a much lower activity level. This in combination with a weak mix, led to a low gross margin percentage and an operating loss. Back-end order intake was 191 million euro, approximately 10% lower than Q3, as expected.
To the forthcoming AGM we will propose a dividend of €0.50 cent per common share, equal to last year."

Outlook

Sales in the Front-end are expected to show a double digit decline in Q1, as compared to Q4 2012. However, we expect our Front-end operation to show an order intake in Q1, strongly above the expected sales level for Q1. Based on the backlog at the end of Q4 and the expected order intake in Q1 and Q2, we foresee a double-digit sales increase for Front-end in Q2.
Q1 sales in the Back-end are expected to be at approximately the same level as in Q4, order intake is expected to show an increase in Q1 over Q4.

Grappig hoe die studie omschreven wordt. Het is een studie naar waarom de markten de werkelijke waarde van ASMI niet erkennen. Daar moet dus uit komen dat de werkelijke waarde veel hoger ligt en er moet een slimme constructie op handen zijn om dat te materialiseren. Zou me echt verbazen als dat, samen met de toenemende verkopen en handhaving dividend, het aandeel geen wind in de rug gaat geven

ik vind het een mooi moment om uit te stappen , zo geweldig zijn de prestaties niet , en die studie heeft lang genoeg geduurt , en dan de onzekere uitkomst ook nog , ik stap wel op een lagere koers weer in!

Iedereen moet natuurlijk eigen keuzes maken. Ik houd ASMI aan. Ook uit cijfers van de concurrentie blijkt dat de investeringen in chip apparaten scherp gaan aantrekken. Daarnaast brengt de nu op handen zijnde uitkomt van de studie fantasie in het aandeel. Komende tijd richting 35 is mijn verwachting.

Het belang dat ASMI in ASM PT heeft is weliswaar meer waard dan ASMI als geheel, wat is echter de waarde van de (structureel matige) frond end activiteiten?

Per saldo beleg je dus met korting in ASM PT. Wat cijfers over dit bedrijf:

2012 2011
omzet (HKD mrd) 10.46 12.95
nettowinst id. 0.69 2.93
winst per aandeel 1.73 7.40
koers (HKD) 103
huidige marktkapitalisatie (HKD mrd) circa 40 miljard (ongeveer 4 miljard euro)
"ruimte" op de balans (vlottende activa - verplichtingen) 3.8 miljard HKD

Je betaald dus 14x de winst van topjaar 2011 en een keer of 60 die van 2012. Daarnaast betaal je 4x de omzet 2012 en 3x die van 2011.

Het lijkt me dat je in de supercyclische back end sector goedkopere fondsen kunt vinden.

Kulicke en Soffa staat 5 x de winst, dat is 40 HKD in Pacific (eigenlijk minder), oftwel 12,50 per aandeel ASMI. Voeg daar bij dat ze al een jaar lopen te shoppen met Front End, maar dat niemand die toko wil hebben (anders had die oude Arthur allang verkocht), en er kan wel 20 euro af.....
