Investment summary

Riber’s FY20 results showed the adverse impact of customer uncertainty caused by the coronavirus pandemic and the French government’s tightening up on exports to China. FY20 revenues were €3.2m lower year-on-year at €30.2m, reflecting fewer MBE system deliveries, minimal evaporator sales and a 24% jump in service revenues. Total revenues would have been over €31m had the French government not refused export licences for R&D systems and certain types of spares to China. Adjusted operating profit reduced by only €0.2m to €0.7m.

Industry outlook

At end-March 2021 the order book totaled €17.3m. This included orders for four MBE systems totalling €9.6m, all of which are scheduled for delivery in FY21. The total excludes an additional order for a production system priced at several million euros announced in April, which is also for delivery in FY21. This production unit will be the fifth MBE system the Asian industrial client has ordered from Riber and will be used to make electronic and optoelectronic devices.
