New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.6% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (6.3% average weekly change). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.6% per year for the foreseeable future. High level of non-cash earnings (33% accrual ratio).

New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. The company is paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Dividend yield: 1.9% This is considered a minor risk. Dividends are ultimately paid out of the company's available cash reserves. Companies that pay out too much of their cash flow are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If cash flow growth slows or cash flows fall, then there may not be enough cash reserves to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to take on debt to maintain the dividend. This risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by earnings, however, cash flows are generally more important. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (6.6% average weekly change). High level of non-cash earnings (61% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Upcoming Dividend • May 09

AIXTRON SE Launches Next Generation G10-SiC 200 mm Product Solution for Silicon Carbide Epitaxy AIXTRON SE launched its new G10-SiC 200 mm system for high volume manufacturing of latest generation Silicon Carbide ("SiC") power devices on 150/200 mm SiC wafers. This high temperature CVD system, bringing innovation to the next level, was just announced at the International Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials (ICSCRM), currently taking place in Davos, Switzerland. The wide-band-gap material SiC is set to become mainstream technology for efficient power electronics. SiC substantially contributes to the decarbonization of modern society and therefore supports climate protection. Driven by the growing adoption of SiC based power semiconductors within electromobility solutions, the worldwide demand for SiC wafers is growing rapidly, further accelerated by the motivation to reduce dependency towards oil supply. The new G10-SiC system is built on established G5 WW C 150 mm platform and provides a flexible dual wafer size configuration of 9x150 & 6x200 mm. This feature is instrumental for the transition of the SiC industry from 150 mm (6 Inch) to 200 mm (8 Inch) wafer diameter. The new platform is built around proven automated wafer cassette-to-cassette loading solution with high temperature wafer transfer. Combined with high growth rate process capabilities, the G10-SiC provides best-in class wafer throughput and throughput per square meter to efficiently use the limited cleanroom space available in semiconductor fabs. The AIXTRON G10-SiC supports a large variety of device structures incl. single and double drift layer structures meeting stringent 150 mm uniformity requirements of sigma values less than 2% for doping and thickness. The automated wafer loading reduces the risk of particle defects to a minimum, resulting in typical defect counts of < 0.02/cm2. Epitaxial layer uniformity is essential to meet a high yield on device level. The high throughput of the system paired with low consumption costs per processed wafers results in the lowest cost per wafer in the industry. Reported Earnings • Jul 28

Aixtron's Subsidiary Received the Final Acceptance for Its Gen 2 OVPD AIXTRON SE announced that APEVA, AIXTRON's subsidiary for OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) deposition technologies, received the final acceptance for its Gen 2 OVPD(R) (Organic Vapor Phase Deposition) deposition system from its customer, one of the world's largest display manufacturers. APEVA's prototype OLED deposition system, which is based on the innovative OVPD(R) technology, enables a highly efficient deposition of organic materials for OLED displays. APEVA now plans to enter into discussions about the feasibility of a final qualification project (phase III). Such project would target to ensure the scalability of the OVPD(R) deposition technology to large area substrates. The decision for such phase III is open at this point in time. The final acceptance by the customer successfully completes phase II of the qualification project on the path to commercialize APEVA's proprietary OLED deposition technology. During this phase, the OVPD(R) system was effectively scaled up from a Gen 1 (200x200mm) laboratory system to a Gen 2 (370x470mm) pilot manufacturing system. The OVPD(R) OLED deposition system has been installed and extensively tested in a Gen 2 OLED pilot manufacturing line of the customer. The successful conclusion of the project confirms the potential of the technology for OLED manufacturing. Is New 90 Day High Low • Dec 18
