  • Net income of € 29.3 million and net margin of 25.1% reached in face of challenging market conditions

  • Revenue of € 432.7 million, down 1.5% reflecting lower die bonding shipments for mobile applications partially offset by strength in computing and automotive end markets

  • Gross margin decreased slightly to 56.9% vs. 57.4%
  • Net income of € 113.5 million declined 12.4% vs. YTD-17. Net margin of 26.2% remained at peer leading levels
