Reported Earnings • Sep 27
First half 2024 earnings released: EPS: €0.008 (vs €0.06 loss in 1H 2023) First half 2024 results: EPS: €0.008 (up from €0.06 loss in 1H 2023). Revenue: €13.7m (up 13% from 1H 2023). Net income: €164.0k (up €1.41m from 1H 2023). Profit margin: 1.2% (up from net loss in 1H 2023). The move to profitability was driven by higher revenue. Revenue is forecast to grow 4.6% p.a. on average during the next 3 years, compared to a 8.4% growth forecast for the Semiconductor industry in Germany. Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has increased by 72% per year but the company’s share price has only increased by 21% per year, which means it is significantly lagging earnings growth. Declared Dividend • Apr 23
Dividend increased to €0.07 Dividend of €0.07 is 40% higher than last year. Ex-date: 26th June 2024 Payment date: 28th June 2024 Dividend yield will be 2.6%, which is higher than the industry average of 1.1%. Sustainability & Growth The dividend has increased by an average of 5.8% per year over the past 6 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 133% to bring the payout ratio under control. However, EPS is expected to remain steady over the next 2 years, which means the dividend may need to be reduced to reach a sustainable payout ratio. Tillkännagivande • Apr 14

Riber Launches MBE 8000 for Mass Epiwafer Production Riber announced the final qualification of its MBE 8000 production platform by leading US epiwafer manufacturer. The MBE 8000 delivers twice the productivity of existing products on the market while enabling outstanding performances. The flexibility of MBE technology enables RIBER's MBE 8000 to address all compound semiconductor growing markets from VCSEL, transistor, sensors requiring high level of performances in terms of uniformity, reproducibility, and stability. This system is capable of growing batches of eight 150 mm (6 inches) or four 200 mm (8 inches) wafers, increasing capacity by 50% over the existing products. As cell design, system geometry, process control are identical, it ensures process transfer within a minimum of time and an easy handling for Riber machines operators. The final qualification step has validated the MBE 8000 in terms of process, robustness, stability, ergonomics, and control. As an example, defect density over 30 runs measured is less than 50 particles per cm2 measured on a VCSEL-type structure and on particles in the size of 0.8-8um. With an optimum cost of ownership and large capacity, the MBE 8000 system presents strong prospects for business development in the future. Tillkännagivande • Oct 31

RIBER and Comptek Solutions Sign Commercial Partnership RIBER and Comptek Solutions has signed a commercial partnership deal to develop joint technological solutions. Devices based on III-V compound semiconductors have a natural tendency to oxidize almost instantly once exposed to air, which results in the formation of an amorphous oxide layer leading to a range of defects that limit their performance and manufacturing yields. Comptek Solutions tackles this problem with Kontrox, a patented innovative passivation process which creates a thin layer of stable crystalline oxide with a dry vacuum approach, preventing the amorphous oxidation layer from forming. Compared to existing methods, Kontrox drastically reduces the density of interface defects and delivers an unprecedented increase in efficiency and higher manufacturing yields for III-V compound semiconductor devices. The solution enables manufacturing of new generation compound semiconductor devices that are increasingly efficient, smaller and more reliable, thus meeting the needs of new technologies, such as 5G, facial recognition (3D sensors), augmented reality, virtual reality and autonomous vehicles. Kontrox sets a new bar for efficiency in a wide range of applications; for instance, it can be used to significantly boost performance of high electron mobility transistors (P-HEMT) and HBT’s, enabling next-generation communication circuits for 5G. Kontrox also contributes to the development of next-generation CMOS processors, where the quality of the interface between the gate oxide insulator and the III-V materials for transistors performs a crucial role in CMOS operations. The technology has also proved to boost the performance of optoelectronic devices - such as mini- and micro LEDs, high-power lasers, VCSELs and infrared sensors, considerably improving the efficiency, brightness, and lifespan. The partnership between RIBER and Comptek Solutions aims to build a long-term collaboration to support and accelerate Kontrox™ technology transfer to industrial clients by delivering customized, highly efficient ultra-high vacuum equipment along with expert technical support and lifecycle management services. This collaboration makes it possible to customize and optimize the specifications for equipment to deploy Kontrox™ technology according to user needs. This will enhance the technology industrialization featuring a process control developed specifically for Kontrox™. This commercial partnership helps expand and increase market opportunities for both parties by combining their technological solutions and optimizing delivery times. The partnership enables RIBER to promote and develop its expertise, while diversifying its product range with a novel, break-thru technological solution. Tillkännagivande • Aug 02
