ASM International N.V. (Euronext Amsterdam: ASM) today reports its second quarter 2016 operating
results (unaudited) in accordance with IFRS.
REPORTING 2016
With the 2015 Q4 earnings release, published on February 23, 2016, ASMI announced that as of January 1, 2016, it
will report its financial results in accordance with IFRS. Up until the last reporting regarding 2015, ASMI's primary
external and internal reporting has been based on US GAAP. In addition ASMI issued quarterly reconciliations of net
earnings and shareholders' equity and (semi) annual financial statements prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Following the voluntary delisting from NASDAQ, August 2015, ASMI migrated
to IFRS as its only internal and external reporting standard from January 1, 2016 and discontinued the use of US
GAAP as of the same date. During 2016 comparable results based on US GAAP will be presented, as from 2017 only
results based on IFRS will be reported. The main deviations between IFRS and US GAAP are explained in Annex 2.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
As from 2016 ASMI reports its results based on IFRS instead of US GAAP.

• Net sales for the second quarter 2016 were €139 million, a decrease of 3% compared to the previous quarter. Yearon- year net sales decreased with 31%.
• New orders at €159 million were 3% below the Q1 2016 level.
• Normalized net earnings for the second quarter 2016 increased by €30 million compared to the first quarter 2016.
Operating result decreased €2 million. The financing result included €8 million positive effects from currencies compared to €11 million negative effects in the first quarter. The result from investments increased with €10 million.

COMMENT
Commenting on the results, Chuck del Prado, President and Chief Executive Officer of ASM International said:
"Both Q2 revenues at €139 million, and order intake at €159 million came in at the high end of our guidance. Gross margin remained stable at around the 44%. Net result in Q2 improved strongly to €42 million mainly due to the strong performance of ASMPT and favorable currency developments on cash holdings in foreign currencies.”

OUTLOOK
2015 has shown a strong growth of the single wafer ALD market. We estimate this growth to continue whereby the single wafer ALD equipment market will double in the period 2015-2018/2019. We however expect the single wafer ALD market to show a double digit decline in 2016, caused by a low demand in Memory which will not be offset by the strong increase in Logic/Foundries. Our single wafer ALD market share is expected to show an increase in 2016.
We expect the single wafer ALD market to strongly improve again in 2017.
• In Memory, the NAND market is shifting from Planar NAND to 3D NAND. This shift will significantly reduce the demand for additional multi patterning-related single wafer ALD capacity. Non-patterning related single wafer ALD demand is expected to gradually increase as soon as next generation 3D NAND is going to ramp into high volume.
• In Memory, DRAM industry capacity demand was high in 2015 and has declined strongly in 2016. Based on current visibility the demand for new DRAM-related single wafer ALD capacity is believed to recover earliest in the course of 2017.
• In Logic/Foundry the transition to the 10 nm technology node fuels substantially higher single wafer ALD-equipment demand than the previous nodes.
For Q3 we expect sales between €135-150 million, while we expect an order intake of €100-130 million, both on a currency comparable level. We expect a stronger second half in terms of sales as compared to the first half of 2016.

SHARE BUYBACK PROGRAM
October 28, 2015 ASMI announced that its Management Board authorized the repurchase of up to €100 million of the Company’s common shares within the 2015-2016 time frame. This buyback program will be executed by intermediaries and will end as soon as the aggregate purchase price of the common shares acquired by ASMI has reached €100 million, but ultimately on November 20, 2016.
On May 25, 2016 the General Meeting of Shareholders authorized ASMI to acquire shares for a period of 18 months.
The repurchase program is part of ASMI’s commitment to use excess cash for the benefit of its shareholders.
The program started on November 26, 2015. On June 30, 2016, just over 65% of the program was completed at an average share price of €36.37.
