The order book at September 30, 2018 represents €30.6 million (previous standard), with 15% growth versus September 30, 2017.
The systems order book at March 31, 2018 is up 120% to €22.2m. It includes 12 systems, scheduled for delivery between 2018 and 2019, with seven production machines2 (versus four in 2017) and five research machines2 (versus two in 2017). It does not include the order for a production machine in Asia, announced on October 18.
The services and accessories order book represents €4.7m, down 20% linked to the contraction in demand for machine refurbishments.
The evaporators order book came to €3.8m, contracting 65% following the completion of the major wave of investment in the screen industry.
Outlook
In line with the delivery schedule for the end of the year, RIBER is targeting full-year revenues of €35m for 2018 and at least 15% year-on-year growth for income from ordinary operations.
In a globally positive environment for the semiconductor alloys market, RIBER has good visibility for the medium term, thanks to a robust order book that is expected to be further strengthened shortly with several projects currently in negotiations.
2018 full-year revenues will be released on Wednesday January 30, 2019 (after close of trading).
1 The application of IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) at January 1, 2018 had a €0.1m negative impact on revenues for the first nine months of 2018, linked to services recorded under the previous standard at September 30. The Group applies the partial retrospective method, under which the combined impact of the first application represents an adjustment to equity at January 1, 2018, without a comparative adjustment for 2017
