AIXTRON AG, a leading provider of deposition equipment to the semiconductor industry, today announced the company's financial results for the first half of 2008.
Financial Highlights
AIXTRON recorded Total Revenues of €128.2m during the first half of 2008, 18% higher than the same period last year, in spite of current currency and macro-economic headwinds.
Gross and Operating margins stand at a healthy 39% and 14% respectively, mainly as a result of the significantly higher volume effect and higher-margin Compound Semiconductor common platform system revenues (around 70% of the total revenue figure in H1/2008).
