Management Comments
"Despite further weakening of the macroeconomic climate in our largest markets, we were able to deliver results in line with our guidance," said Dr. Valentin Gapontsev, IPG Photonics' Chief Executive Officer. "More importantly, we have made meaningful strides in key new product areas and undertaken strategic acquisitions that help us capitalize on the long-term growth opportunities for our laser solutions. We believe our progress delivering on new growth opportunities reinforces our industry leadership in fiber laser technology, strengthens our relationships with leading-edge customers and enables the next-generation of product creation."
Financial Highlights
Fourth quarter revenue of $330 million decreased 9% year over year. The acquisition of Genesis Systems Group (Genesis), which closed in early December, contributed $8 million of revenue, and currency depreciation relative to the exchange rates assumed in the company's fourth quarter guidance reduced revenue by $2 million. Materials processing sales accounted for 94% of total revenue, decreasing 9% year over year due to lower sales in metal cutting and 3D printing, partially offset by higher sales in welding applications. Sales to other markets increased 5% year-over-year driven by growth in communications, government and medical applications.
Sales of high power continuous wave (CW) lasers, representing 56% of total revenue, decreased 20% year over year. On a year over year basis, pulsed lasers sales increased 33%, medium power CW laser sales decreased 29%, quasi continuous wave (QCW) lasers sales decreased 12% and systems sales increased 42%. By region, sales decreased 19% in China and 12% in Europe but increased 32% in North America and 4% in Japan on a year over year basis.
Earnings per diluted share ("EPS") of $1.40 increased 46% year over year from $0.96 as charges related to the 2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reduced fourth quarter 2017 net income by $49 million and EPS by $0.90. In the fourth quarter 2018 foreign exchange gains increased EPS by $0.07. The effective tax rate in the quarter was 25%, which benefited from certain discrete tax items. During the fourth quarter, IPG generated $113 million in cash from operations. Capital expenditures were $27 million, and the company repurchased 466 thousand shares for $64 million completing its $125 million repurchase authorization.
As of December 31, 2018, total backlog was $712 million, decreasing 4% year over year. Orders with firm shipment dates were $339 million, up 4% year over year and frame agreements, which are non-binding indications of customer pricing and volume levels, decreased 11% to $374 million. Backlog excluding the acquisition of Genesis was $673 million and decreased by 10% year over year while orders with firm shipment dates excluding Genesis were $299 million, decreasing 8% year over year. Fourth quarter book-to-bill was below 1.0, in line with normal seasonality.
Stock Repurchase Program
Today IPG also announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a new $125 million anti-dilutive stock repurchase program following the completion of its previous $125 million repurchase program. Under the new anti-dilutive program, IPG management is authorized to repurchase shares of common stock in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (a) the number of shares issued to employees and directors under the Company's various employee and director equity compensation and employee stock purchase plans from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2020 and (b) $125 million, exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses. Share repurchases will be made periodically in open-market transactions using the Company's working capital, and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. The share repurchase program authorization does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of its shares, and repurchases may be commenced or suspended from time to time without prior notice.
Business Outlook and Financial Guidance
"While the global macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges affecting the sector and our business have persisted into 2019, we have seen some encouraging signs over the last two months. There has been a modest pickup in order activity since late December, and we are more encouraged by the overall demand environment than we were three months ago. Our conviction around improving market conditions will only be fully validated if these trends continue for the remainder of the first quarter and into the second quarter. We expect pricing headwinds related to more aggressive competition in China to continue, exacerbating this challenging demand environment. However, we are reinforcing our competitive lead in our core metal processing markets, retaining our established relationships with large customers and winning new business with emerging OEM customers. Moreover, we are making competitive strides in new products and applications that significantly expand our addressable market and diversify our end market exposure," said Dr. Gapontsev.
For the first quarter of 2019, IPG expects revenue of $290 million to $320 million. The Company expects the first quarter tax rate to be approximately 25%, excluding effects relating to equity grants. IPG anticipates delivering earnings per diluted share in the range of $1.00 to $1.20, with 53.2 million basic common shares outstanding and 54.1 million diluted common shares outstanding.
Dr. Gapontsev added, "Although conversations with our OEM customers in China suggest cautious optimism regarding a mid-year pickup in demand driven by government stimulus and continued infrastructure investment, we do not have clear visibility into full year OEM order plans at this time. As such, we do not believe it is appropriate to provide full year revenue guidance until this visibility improves. In general, we would expect year over year declines in revenue to persist in the first and second quarter of 2019 due to more challenging comparisons, followed by improving trends in the back half of 2019 driven by potential market recovery and strength in new products and solutions."
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, 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 0.87, Russian Ruble 69, Japanese Yen 110 and Chinese Yuan 6.86, respectively.
