IPG delivered a 16% increase in revenue for the third quarter to a record $199.7 million and net income rose 30% year-over-year. Excluding foreign exchange gains and losses, net income grew by 21% year-over-year.
"These results demonstrate our fiber lasers' continued penetration of large scale applications, our ability to capitalize on growing demand for several key applications, as well as the leverage we have in our operating model," said Dr. Valentin Gapontsev, IPG Photonics' Chief Executive Officer.
Sales for materials processing applications grew by 17% primarily due to increased demand for metal cutting, marking and engraving and additive manufacturing. Strong sales across IPG's entire fiber laser product portfolio contributed to the year-over-year revenue growth. Sales of high-power lasers increased by 10% driven by very strong demand for cutting applications. Medium-power laser sales were up 45% and low-power sales grew 14%. Pulsed laser sales were up 11%, driven by traction in China, where IPG recently launched a new low-power, low-cost pulsed laser. QCW laser sales increased by 122%, partly driven by IPG's successful penetration of OEMs for turbine blade drilling and, in particular, fine welding applications.
Geographically, IPG achieved robust sales growth in Europe and China, with both up more than 20% from last year, as well as strong growth in Turkey and the rest of Asia, excluding Japan. Lower sales in the U.S. and Japan partially offset the strong growth elsewhere.
The Company generated $47.2 million in cash from operating activities and finished the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $487.5 million after using $28.9 million to finance capital expenditures during the third quarter.
Business Outlook and Financial Guidance
"Entering the fourth quarter, we remain focused on generating profitable growth by expanding business with existing OEMs, establishing new OEM partnerships, and qualifying IPG's fiber lasers for new applications. We are confident in the growing share that fiber lasers have in both laser markets and non-laser applications and our position as the most dynamic and innovative laser company. IPG will continue to make strategic investments that enhance our product pipeline and expand our worldwide infrastructure to capitalize on the many opportunities available to us," concluded Dr. Gapontsev.





IPG Photonics expects revenue in the range of $190 million to $205 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. The Company anticipates earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.86 to $1.01 based on 52,792,000 diluted common shares, which includes 52,088,000 basic common shares outstanding and 704,000 potentially dilutive options at September�30, 2014.
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 that exchange rates remain at present levels.

The Company will hold a conference call to review its financial results and business highlights today, October�28, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. ET. The conference call will be webcast live and can be accessed on the "Investors" section of the Company's website at www.ipgphotonics.com.
