Management Comments
"IPG delivered another strong quarter and we are off to a terrific start this year," said Dr. Valentin Gapontsev, IPG Photonics' Chief Executive Officer. "Despite foreign currency headwinds that impacted our anticipated sales growth, demand for IPG's high-power fiber lasers boosted revenue 17% year-over-year for the first quarter of 2015. Using average exchange rates for last year, the underlying growth for the first quarter would have been more than 20%. Gross margin of 54.2% was within our target range and we grew our bottom line by 29% year-over-year, excluding the benefit from foreign exchange transaction gains."
Materials processing sales grew 18% year-over-year as demand expands in cutting, welding and additive manufacturing applications across a number of industries and markets. Growth of cutting in Europe continues to be strong while in Japan adoption accelerated in the first quarter. In addition, welding sales improved substantially compared with a year ago and is being used in a variety of new and existing applications. High-power fiber laser sales increased 14% and medium power, pulsed, QCW and laser systems sales also increased compared with the prior year. Geographically, we experienced strong growth in Europe, the U.S. and China, while sales were lower in Japan and Russia.
In the first quarter, earnings per diluted share increased by 40% to a record $1.08 and by 29% excluding a benefit of $0.11 related to foreign exchange transaction gains. The growth in earnings per share was driven by the increase in revenue and an improvement in operating margins.
During the first quarter, IPG generated $52.0 million in cash from operations and used $14.0 million to finance capital expenditures and $5 million on an acquisition. IPG ended the quarter with $541.5 million in cash and cash equivalents.
Business Outlook and Financial Guidance
"Our order flow and book-to-bill remain at strong levels in our three main geographies and we expect that to continue in the near term. We remain focused on gaining share in our established materials processing applications, developing new product applications that will expand our available market and applying our lasers in large scale and novel applications beyond our core applications in materials processing," concluded Dr. Gapontsev.
IPG Photonics expects revenue in the range of $215 million to $225 million for the second quarter of 2015. The Company anticipates earnings per diluted share in the range of $1.05 to $1.15 based on 53,267,000 diluted common shares, which includes 52,486,000 basic common shares outstanding and 781,000 potentially dilutive options at March 31, 2015.
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, product demand, order cancellations and delays, competition and general economic conditions. This guidance 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 0.93, Russian Ruble 52 and Japanese Yen 119, respectively.
