IQE also provides bespoke R&D services to deliver customized materials for
specific applications and offers specialist technical staff to manufacture to
specification either at its own facilities or on the customer's own sites. This
is backed by a strategy of duplicating each key product processes over multiple
sites to assure customers of security of supply as well as provide compelling
customer benefits in terms of flexibility and predictability of cost, thereby
significantly reducing operating risk.
IQE operates six manufacturing facilities; two in Cardiff and one in Milton
Keynes in the UK; two more in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and Somerset, New Jersey
in the USA; and its most recent acquisition in Singapore. The Group also has 11
sales offices located in major economic centres worldwide.
PRELIMINARY RESULTS 2007
1. OVERVIEW
2007 represented a major milestone for the Group as our strategy to focus on
high speed mobile products delivered solid results and clearly demonstrated the
strength of our highly geared business model.
The Group returned to operating profitability through a strong focus on high
growth markets. 2007 represents the third year of strong revenue growth
averaging 50% per annum. The acquisitions made during 2006 were quickly and
efficiently integrated within the Group, and have contributed strongly to IQE's
strategic positioning and financial performance.
Following these acquisitions the Group now has a global footprint and is widely
recognised as the leading player within the compound semiconductor wafer
industry. Furthermore, IQE is unique in being able to offer a comprehensive
product portfolio using both MOVPE and MBE production platforms across
multi-site manufacturing facilities. Our global presence is further enhanced
through our network of sales locations which provide access to all the world's
major economic regions.
IQE has also been successful in reducing its business risk by expanding the
customer base and widening the product portfolio. This diversification means
that IQE's sales are now much more closely correlated with the end markets and
in particular the market for high speed wireless communication.
2. RESULTS
Revenue of £50.1m was significantly higher than 2006 (£32.4m), representing a
year on year increase of 54% (69% underlying increase before the impact of
foreign exchange translation).
From this 54% increase in revenues the business delivered a 250% increase in
gross profit from £2.3m to £8.2m. This substantial improvement clearly
demonstrates the powerful leverage of the business model and the benefit of
improved efficiencies.
Selling, General and Administrative expenses ('SG&A') were £8.1m (2006: £6.1m),
which represents 16.1% of sales (2006: 18.7%). Before exceptional items SG&A
increased by £1.4m due to the inclusion of the two businesses acquired during
2006. In addition, during 2007 we incurred £0.4m of one-off exceptional costs
relating to the relocation of our Singapore operation to a new state-of-the-art
facility which provides considerable room for expansion, This relocation is on
track and will be completed during 2008. In 2006 we recognised an exceptional
credit of £0.2m relating to the release of an onerous lease provision.
EBITDA (before exceptional items) for the year was £3.9m (2006: EBITDA loss of
£1.7m), and operating profit (before exceptional items) was £0.6m (2006:
operating loss of £4.0m). This strong financial performance and return to
operating profitability reflect that 2007 has been a milestone year for the
Group and marks a strong delivery against a robust strategy.
Including interest and exceptional costs, the retained loss was £0.9m (2006:
loss £4.0m), representing a loss per share of 0.21 pence (2006: 1.14 pence loss
per share)
Working capital was carefully managed and increased by only £0.8m on a £17.7m
increase in revenues. This limited absorption of cash into working capital has
assisted with the strong conversion of our operating profit into a positive cash
inflow from operating activities of £1.2m (2006: outflow of £4.7m)
Capital expenditure increased to £7.8m (2006: £1.4m) as it included £2.7m
relating to the purchase of property and an investment of £3.6m in additional
capacity in specific areas to address growing demand for specific customers.
The major items of capital expenditure were funded by £5.5m of new loans. The
Group also invested £1.4m (2006: £0.2m) in development expenditure which has
been capitalised.
Net debt at December was £14.2m (2006: £5.9m). Shortly after the year end, the
Group appointed Lloyds TSB Corporate Markets as its principal banker and agreed
new, significantly increased banking facilities of up to £15.5m for the purpose
of financing growth and working capital.
3. STRATEGY
IQE's strategy is to focus on fast growth, high volume technologies, and in
particular, high speed wireless communications and consumer opto electronics.
In addition, the Group is also actively engaged in developing advanced solar
cell technology, ultra efficient LEDs and ultra high speed microprocessor and
memory chip materials technology for these fast growth, high volume emerging
markets.
In order to provide customers with the most competitive outsource wafer service
globally, IQE has developed a unique set of advantages, including :
• offering a complete range of products covering all major applications;
• offering global multi-site production capabilities in the primary
manufacturing platforms to allow efficient capacity planning and for disaster
scenario contingency;
• maintaining a broad contact base with access to all the key global markets;
• delivering benefits from economies of scale including purchasing power
and research and development efficiencies;
• promoting the sharing of best practices and innovation to deliver
improved operating and cost efficiencies; and
• providing surge capacity to meet the expected growth in demand in the
mobile device sector and other high volume activities
This strategy has delivered tangible results in the current generation of
wireless products that have dominated IQE's output during 2007 and will continue
to deliver on current and next generation products. In addition, IQE is also
able to leverage its large manufacturing capacity in order to deliver tangible
benefits to customers, staff and shareholders alike.
4. PRODUCTS AND MARKETS
Our product roadmap and strategy continues to be driven by four key market
dynamics, all of which have fast growth, high volume prospects:
• The increasing adoption of high speed mobile communications, including
3G, WiFi , WiMAX, WiBro, GPS and other wireless technologies . As mobile
technologies continue to advance at an enormous pace with new features
constantly emerging, the role of advanced compound semiconductor materials has
becomes critical in enabling high speed data processing whilst maintaining low
levels of power consumption. IQE's products are absolutely critical in the drive
to 3G and beyond, along with the need for backward compatibility and the speed
and power to accommodate features such as high resolution imaging, video, high
speed wireless data access, VoIP and satellite navigation. Each high speed
communication device now contains multiple numbers of GaAs components compared
with earlier generations, creating a powerful demand driver for GaAs components
and wafers which far outsrips the growth of the overall communications market.
• The ubiquity of applications for high volume semiconductor lasers,
including HD DVD, laser mouse, laser projection, and office and industrial
applications. In particular, laser projection is viewed as one of the most
exciting applications of this technology, eventually being incorporated into
mobile handsets
• The accelerating drive for clean, efficient and sustainable energy
sources (solar cells), and highly efficient light sources (LEDs) in order to
reduce the impact on global warming, reliance on fossil fuels and provide a much
cleaner environment. Compound semiconductors are playing a critical role, and
IQE are involved in leading edge development for these applications, having
achieved world leading results through its partners for solar cell efficiencies.
• The continuing need for higher speed, more powerful microprocessors
and higher speed, ultra high density memories. This is driving the demand for
new materials solutions based on silicon substrates including the incorporation
of compound semiconductors directly onto silicon substrates. IQE has
established powerful positions in both these technologies, working with some of
the biggest names in the industry
Each of these markets has very powerful growth potential, with wireless being
the current key driver.
5. OPERATIONAL UPDATE
Following the acquisitions in 2006, we completed a number of key operational
initiatives during 2007 to enhance the Group's productive efficiency, and
leverage the inherent large manufacturing capacity in order to offer our
customers multi-site, multi-platform manufacturing solutions. Most notably
these successes include :
• the successful integration of both acquisitions, with both subsidiaries
contributing strongly during 2007;
• securing a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Singapore on very
attractive terms, with the successful installation of equipment and initial
manufacturing already commenced;
• the successful alignment of key switch technologies across the Group
for dual-site manufacture for several customers;
• the transfer to, and successful product qualification of, advanced HBT
(power amplifier) technology in Cardiff from New Jersey;
• the successful management of ramping production to satisfy rapid
growth in customer demand and;
• the successful completion of several major R&D projects which are
leading to significant follow on awards.
6. TRADING OUTLOOK
Following the successful integration of the two major acquisitions made in 2006,
the Group is widely recognised as the global market leader in advanced wafer
outsourcing. The successes of 2007 have provided clear evidence of our core
strategy delivering tangible results with a third consecutive year of
substantially increased revenue and a return to operating profitability. In
particular, with the successful qualification of various customers and new tools
during Q4'07, the year ended very strongly.
Trading for the first quarter of 2008 has continued strongly, with revenues
currently running between 30-40% ahead of the equivalent period last year, and
the market conditions for IQE's products continuing to show robust demand driven
principally by 3G and other high speed wireless applications.
Whilst we remain highly focussed on the wireless mobile communications markets,
there are also a number of other key high growth and high volume opportunities
being rapidly developed across the Group. As a result, we look forward to
another year of high growth and sustained profitability.

Diluted loss pence per share (0.08) (0.61) (0.20) (1.14)
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to ordinary
shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares during the
period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average
number of ordinary shares in issue on the assumption of conversion of all
dilutive potential ordinary shares.
IAS 33 requires the presentation of diluted Loss Pence per Share when a company
could be called upon to issue shares that would decrease net profit or increase
net loss per share. For a loss-making company with outstanding share options,
net loss per share would only be increased by the exercise of the out of the
money options. Since it seems inappropriate to assume that option holders would
act irrationally, no adjustment has been made to diluted Loss Pence per Share
for out of the money share options.

11 CONTINGENT LIABILITY
The Group received a claim in 2005 for approximately £1 million in respect of
national insurance contributions in relation to share options that were issued
in 1999. Having sought legal opinion, the Board remains robust in its opinion
that the Group has meritorious defences to this claim. Accordingly, no
provision has been made in the preliminary results for 2007.
