-- Compared to the fourth quarter of 2008, Company revenues increased 5%.
Software revenues decreased 6% from $458,000 to $430,000, while
professional services revenues increased 20%.
-- Total revenue for the first quarter declined 39% year-over-year from
$1,355,000 in the first quarter of 2008 to $823,000 in the first quarter
of 2009.
-- Software revenue decreased over 56% from $989,000 in the same period
last year to $430,000.
-- The year-over-year professional services revenue increased 7% from
$366,000 to $393,000.
-- The Company reported a net loss of $324,000, or ($0.01) per basic and
diluted share, in the first quarter, compared to a net loss of $379,000,
or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share in the same period last year.
"The market for semiconductor 300mm capital equipment, our largest source of revenue for the past several years, virtually came to a stop in the first quarter of 2009. Customer shipments of 300mm equipment decreased more than 95% year-over-year. Fortunately, our efforts to promote the use of SEMI Standards in other markets, particularly the solar-photovoltaic market, as well as our commitment to serving customers in Europe and Japan, have contributed to an increase in Company revenue quarter-over-quarter," said Bob Reback, Cimetrix's president and chief executive officer.
Further, Mr. Reback added, "We have taken appropriate steps to seek break-even cash flow in the face of the reduced revenue rate of the last two quarters. Despite the challenging business environment, we have retained all of our key employees and are vigorously pursuing new business opportunities."
Mr. Reback concluded, "Although there is a long way to go before 300mm shipments return to any type of reasonably sustainable levels for many of our customers, we are hopeful that easing economic conditions will result in an upward trend from recent levels. Once the semiconductor capital equipment market recovers, we expect to be well positioned for generating strong profits during the next up cycle."
Highlights
-- Successful execution of professional services project to deliver
SECS/GEM capabilities on new equipment for a large solar-photovoltaic
manufacturing facility
-- Two design wins for Cimetrix software products, one in surface mount and
the second in semiconductor assembly and packaging
