SUSS MicroTec Records Strong Order Intake in Q1 2026

SUSS MicroTec AG, a key player in semiconductor equipment manufacturing, reported a significant increase in order intake for Q1 2026. The company registered an order intake of €149.3 million, marking a 69.5% rise from the previous year. This surge is attributed to heightened demand from key customers and various segments within the semiconductor market.

Despite the increase in orders, sales figures declined to €86.5 million from €124.9 million the previous year, aligning with expectations due to lower order intake during the summer of 2025. The gross profit margin was noted at 36.1%, and the EBIT margin registered at 4.3%. Free cash flow improved significantly to €23.2 million compared to the previous year's €8.9 million.

The company remains optimistic about maintaining high order levels while addressing production capacity needs. SUSS anticipates achieving fiscal targets despite global economic uncertainties, particularly arising from geopolitical tensions.
