Management Comments
"Our materials processing business, excluding China, performed well in the second quarter with continued strong demand in welding and cleaning applications, driven by e-mobility. We also saw a sequential improvement in flat sheet cutting sales across many regions despite macroeconomic uncertainties and competition in China," said Dr. Eugene Scherbakov, IPG Photonics' Chief Executive Officer. "Adoption of fiber laser technology continues and we are proud that our solutions have become an industry standard in many industrial applications. We are exploring additional opportunities to replace laser and non-laser technologies with IPG fiber laser solutions across many new and existing markets and applications."
Financial Highlights
Second quarter revenue of $340 million decreased 10% year over year. Changes in foreign exchange rates reduced revenue by approximately $9 million or 2% and divestitures reduced revenue by approximately 1% compared to the same period last year. Materials processing sales accounted for 92% of total revenue and decreased 8% year over year with growth in welding, cleaning, 3D printing and solar cell manufacturing applications offset by lower revenue in cutting and marking applications. Sales into other applications decreased 23% year over year due to lower revenue in medical and advanced applications, as well as the telecom divestiture. Emerging growth products sales accounted for 41% of total revenue.
Revenue in high power continuous wave (CW) lasers declined 10% year over year due to lower demand in flat sheet cutting applications. Sales of pulsed lasers declined 24% compared with the prior year as growth in cleaning and solar cell manufacturing applications was offset by lower demand in foil cutting and marking applications. By region, sales decreased 28% in China and 11% in North America, but increased 4% in Europe and 14% in Japan on a year-over-year basis.
Earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $1.31 increased 19% year over year. Foreign exchange transaction loss decreased operating income by $1 million, but had no material impact on net income and earnings per share due to a tax benefit. The effective tax rate in the quarter was 24%. During the second quarter, IPG generated $67 million in cash from operations and spent $26 million on capital expenditures.

Business Outlook and Financial Guidance
“Second quarter book-to-bill was below one as increased economic uncertainty negatively impacted customer orders in our key geographies. In particular, general industrial demand in Europe and North America has weakened while industrial demand and EV investment remain soft in China. However, we are pleased to see continued strong orders in e-mobility applications, driven by increased investments in EV battery capacity in Europe, North America, Korea and Japan, which should drive sales for our welding, foil cutting and cleaning solutions. We are also seeing increasing orders for 3D printing applications and laser diode heating and drying solutions and are excited about additional opportunities for these applications in the second half of 2023. The EV investment cycle in China is expected to rebound in 2024," concluded Dr. Scherbakov.
For the third quarter of 2023, IPG expects revenue of $300 million to $330 million. The Company expects the third quarter tax rate to be approximately 25%. IPG anticipates delivering earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.85 to $1.15.
As discussed in more detail in the "Safe Harbor" passage of this news release, actual results may differ from this guidance due to various factors including, but not limited to, trade policy changes and trade restrictions, the COVID-19 pandemic, product demand, order cancellations and delays, competition, tariffs, currency fluctuations and general economic conditions. This guidance is based upon current market conditions and expectations, and is subject to the risks outlined in the Company's reports filed with the SEC, and assumes exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar of Euro 0.92, Russian ruble 87, Japanese yen 145 and Chinese yuan 7.23, respectively.
