2018 Year-end Business Review and Conclusions
State of Amtech’s solar and semi businesses at year end
Solar business weak - severely challenged by non-controllable factors; little visibility of future potential
• Solar is quickly becoming a commoditized business
• Chinese local competition has caught up technically; tools are “good enough” for commoditized industry
• Margins under intense pressure due to lower cost, “good enough” offerings by locals
• Superior technology not enough to “win” in current CAPEX constrained market environment
Semi business strong - opportunities to deliver attractive cash flow and profitable growth
Conclusion: Unlike solar, semi captures high value for our efforts and investment
