Management Comments

"IPG has made important progress strategically and operationally in the last several months," said Dr. Mark Gitin, IPG Photonics' Chief Executive Officer. "Our third-quarter results were at the high end of our guidance when adjusted for the divested revenue. We completed our exit from Russia and are strengthening our position in fast-growing high-precision laser cleaning applications with the announced acquisition of cleanLASER. These moves, along with progress in our innovation pipeline and actions underway to gain efficiencies across our business, underscore that we are controlling what we can control as we position for demand recovery."

Financial Highlights

Third quarter revenue of $233 million decreased 23% year over year due to lower demand in industrial and e-mobility markets. Changes in foreign exchange rates did not have a material impact on revenue. Materials processing sales accounted for 89% of total revenue and decreased 22% year over year, primarily due to lower sales in cutting applications. Other sales decreased 28% year over year due to lower revenue in medical and advanced applications. Emerging growth products sales accounted for 45% of total revenue, a slight decrease from 46% in the prior quarter due to lower revenue for high power pulsed lasers and medical products. By region, sales decreased 20% in North America, 27% in China, 29% in Europe and 8% in Japan on a year-over-year basis.

Gross margin of 23.2% decreased significantly year over year due to increased inventory provision and reduced absorption of manufacturing expenses, partially offset by lower tariffs and shipping costs. The inventory provision included $30 million related to a change in estimate of recoverability due to the current demand environment, which reduced gross margin by 12.8%, and diluted EPS by $0.49. Excluding this inventory provision results in an adjusted gross margin of 36.0%. Loss per diluted share (EPS) of $5.33 included loss on divestiture of our Russian operations which decreased operating income by $198 million and asset impairment charges of $27 million. These items decreased diluted EPS by $5.16 in the third quarter. Foreign exchange transaction loss decreased operating income by $1 million and earnings per share by $0.02. Excluding these items results in an adjusted diluted EPS of $0.29 (1) in the third quarter. During the third quarter, IPG generated $66 million in cash from operations and spent $23 million on capital expenditures and $74 million on share repurchases.

Business Outlook and Financial Guidance

"We continue to believe we are bouncing along the bottom of a muted demand environment, which is supported by a book-to-bill of one for the third quarter. IPG's strong technology portfolio and expertise across lasers positions us well in new growth areas where fiber lasers can replace incumbent technologies and differentiates us from competition," concluded Dr. Gitin.

For the fourth quarter of 2024, IPG expects revenue of $210 million to $240 million, gross margin between 35% and 38%, and operating expenses of $78 million to $80 million. The Company expects the fourth quarter tax rate to be approximately 25%, including certain discrete items. IPG anticipates delivering earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.05 to $0.35. This guidance excludes Russian operations which were sold in the third quarter.

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, 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 0.90, Japanese yen 143 and Chinese yuan 7.01, respectively.

IPG PHOTONICS CORPORATION
SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

Use of Non-GAAP Adjusted Financial Information

The following information provides the definition of adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) as presented by IPG Photonics Corporation (the "Company"), which are financial measures that are not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, and reconciliation to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company has provided adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS as supplemental information and in addition to the financial measures presented by the Company that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measure presented by the Company.

We define adjusted gross profit as gross profit as reported, adjusted for non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual changes, including a one-time inventory provision related to a change in estimate of recoverability due to the current demand environment.

We define adjusted gross margin as adjusted gross profit divided by total revenue.

We define adjusted net income as net income as reported, adjusted for non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual changes, including one-time charges incurred in connection with the disposition of our Russian operations, impairment of long-lived assets, loss on foreign currency exchange, tax impacts and a one-time adjustment to inventory provision related to a change in estimate of recoverability due to the current demand environment, and other adjustments that the Company believes appropriate.

We define adjusted EPS as adjusted net income divided by the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional means of evaluating period-over-period operating performance. Specifically, these non-GAAP financial measures provide management with additional means to understand and evaluate the operating results and trends in our ongoing business by eliminating certain non-cash expenses and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations, or reduce management's ability to make useful forecasts.

In addition, management understands that some investors and financial analysts find this information helpful in analyzing our financial and operational performance and comparing this performance to our peers and competitors. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and are not intended to be an alternative to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, it should be noted that these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Management may, however, utilize other measures to illustrate performance in the future. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided below. These non-GAAP measures exclude (a) a one-time adjustment to our inventory provision related to a change in estimate of recoverability due to the current demand environment, (b) one-time adjustments relating to the net loss from divestiture and sale of assets incurred in the disposition of our Russian operations in the third quarter of 2024and (c) impairment of long lived assets related to our Belarusian operations.
