Management Comments
"IPG's second quarter results reflect a challenging demand environment, particularly across industrial and e-mobility markets. Our focus on financial execution allowed the company to generate strong cash flow from operations and significantly reduce inventory, while continuing to work on significant product cost reductions," said Dr. Mark Gitin, IPG Photonics' Chief Executive Officer. "The Company has a very strong innovation pipeline and we are making great progress diversifying our business by focusing on complete solutions to customers in welding, cleaning, medical and other applications, while fortifying our position and strong customer relations in the cutting OEM business. These moves will best position us for improved performance as the global demand environment recovers."
Financial Highlights
Second quarter revenue of $258 million decreased 24% year over year. Changes in foreign exchange rates reduced revenue by approximately $6 million or 2%. By region, sales decreased 2% in North America and were down 34% in China, 27% in Europe and 39% in Japan on a year-over-year basis. While materials processing sales accounted for 88% of total revenue and decreased 28% year over year, other sales increased 24% year over year due to higher revenue in medical and advanced applications. The decline in materials processing was primarily due to lower revenue in cutting and welding applications as a result of soft demand from industrial and e-mobility customers.
Emerging growth products sales accounted for 46% of total revenue, which was an improvement from the prior quarter, driven by higher sales in handheld welding, medical and advanced applications.
Gross margin of 37.3% decreased 610 basis points year over year due to reduced absorption of manufacturing expenses and increased inventory reserves, partially offset by lower tariffs and shipping costs. Earnings per diluted share (EPS) of $0.45 decreased 66% year over year. Foreign exchange transaction loss decreased operating income by $3 million and earnings per share by $0.05 while the gain on sale of assets increased operating income by $1 million and increased diluted EPS by $0.01 in the second quarter. The effective tax rate in the quarter was 19%. During the second quarter, IPG generated $53 million in cash from operations and spent $24 million on capital expenditures and $122 million on share repurchases.

Exhibit 99.1
Business Outlook and Financial Guidance
“Our book-to-bill was below one for the second quarter, reversing the sequential improvement we saw in the prior quarter. Uncertainty across all major geographies, which is impacting industrial and e-mobility markets, is likely to weigh on demand through the remainder of the year," concluded Dr. Gitin.
For the third quarter of 2024, IPG expects revenue of $210 million to $240 million, gross margin between 34% and 37%, and operating expenses of $82 million to $84 million. The Company expects the third quarter tax rate to be approximately 25%, including certain discrete items. IPG anticipates delivering earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.00 to $0.30.
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 0.93, Russian ruble 86, Japanese yen 161 and Chinese yuan 7.13, respectively.
