Deventer,  July 20, 2023 - RoodMicrotec N.V.,  a leading independent company for
semiconductor  supply and quality  services, today publishes  the Interim Report
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.
RoodMicrotec  reports a total income of  EUR 8.7 million for the first half-year
of  2023, which is  18.5% higher than  the total  income reported  for the first
half-year  of  2022 and  6% lower  than  for  the  second half-year of 2022. The
increase  in  total  income  is  driven  by  a  continued strong delivery level,
especially  by the Test Operations unit. The slight reduction between the second
half-year  of 2022 and the  first half-year of  2023 is predominantly due to the
normal cyclical business in the semiconductor industry, where the second half of
the year typically can be characterized by stronger demand.
  Operational Unit (x EUR 1,000)     HY1 2023   HY1 2022    Change
  Test Operations                     5,845      4,496       30.0%
  Supply Chain Management             1,466      1,398        4.9%
  Qualification & Failure Analysis    1,356      1,423       -4.7%
  Total                               8,667      7,317       18.5%
Total  operating expenses  for the  first half-year  of 2023 amounted to EUR 6.8
million  against EUR 5.9 million for the first half-year of 2022, while cost for
raw  materials  and  consumables  remained  stable at EUR 1.1 million. Personnel
expenses  increased to EUR 4.0 million (HY1 2022:  EUR 3.6 million) due to bonus
expenses  and an increase  in the number  of employees. Other operating expenses
increased  to EUR 1.7 million (HY1 2022: EUR  1.2 million), predominantly due to
the costs incurred for financial and legal advice and support in relation to the
Public Offering process in the amount of EUR 0.5 million for the first half-year
of 2023.
EBITDA  increased from  EUR 1.4 million  for the  first half-year of 2022 to EUR
1.8 million  for the first half-year of  2023. Through excellent cost control we
have  succeeded in further reducing  the overall costs as  a percentage of total
income  by 1.4% in the first half-year of 2023. The cost of raw materials stayed
at  EUR 1.1 million in the  first half-year of 2023, but  as percentage of total
income came down by 2%-points to 13% compared to first half-year of 2022.
Depreciation  charges of EUR  0.8 million were higher  in the first half-year of
2023 (HY1 2022:  EUR 0.7 million) due  to capital expenditure  during the second
half-year  of  2022 and  the  first  half-year of 2023. Total financial expenses
maintained at the same level of EUR 0.1 million for the first half-year of 2023
and 2022.
Net  profit for the first half-year  of 2023 increased by 35% to EUR 0.9 million
compared to the first half-year of 2022.
Adjusting  for non-recurring costs  incurred for financial  and legal advice and
support  in relation to  the Public Offering  process in the  amount of EUR 0.5
million  in the first half-year of 2023, the adjusted EBITDA would have been EUR
2.3 million  (HY1 2022: EUR 1.4 million) and the  adjusted net profit would have
been EUR 1.4 million (HY1 2022: EUR 0.6 million).

Note  1:        after excluding non-recurring  costs incurred  for financial and
legal  advice and  support in  relation to  the Public  Offering process  in the
amount of EUR 0.5 million in the first half-year 2023
Net  cash flow  from operating  activities for  the first  half-year of 2023 was
positive  with EUR 1.8 million (HY1 2022: EUR 0.3 million). The increase results
from  higher net profit and reduced working  capital compared to the first half-
year  of 2022. Cash flow from investing  activities was EUR 0.5 million negative
(HY1  2022: EUR 0.4 million negative).  Cash flow from  financing activities for
the  first half-year of 2023 amounted to EUR 1.2 million negative (HY1 2022: EUR
0.5 million  negative),  including  EUR  1.1 million  for redemption of the non-
controlling  interest (HY1 2022: EUR 0.4 million  negative). Total net cash flow
for the first half-year of 2023 amounted to EUR 0.1 million positive (HY1 2022:
EUR 0.6 million negative). Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the half-year
of  2023 amounted to  EUR 3.7 million (December  31, 2022: EUR 3.6 million; June
30, 2022: EUR 1.9 million).
"The  first six months  of 2023 have continued  to run at  the same level as the
second  half-year of 2022 which meant a good  start for the whole year. We still
see  some supply challenges in the world, but  we have been able to continue our
Test  Operations at a high  utilization level. The load  situation at the end of
the  second quarter, in combination with our  current order book level provide a
solid  base for  the second  half-year of  2023.", says Martin Sallenhag, CEO of
RoodMicrotec.
