Duiven, the Netherlands, April 25, 2012 - BE Semiconductor Industries N.V. ("the Company" or "Besi") (NYSE Euronext: BESI; OTCQX: BESIY), a leading manufacturer of assembly equipment for the semiconductor industry, today announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Key Highlights
Revenue of € 55.8 million down 20.7% vs. Q4-11 and in line with prior guidance
Improved business outlook as orders rose to € 84.2 million (+52.5% vs. Q4-11). Increase across all product groups, but primarily focused on flip chip and multi module die attach systems for smart phone/tablet applications
Gross margins increased to 39.4% from 38.5% in Q4-11 due to improved packaging gross margins and reduced production overhead
Operating income of € 2.4 million in Q1-12 roughly equal to Q4-11 despite sequential revenue decrease demonstrates improved scalability of business model
Net income declines to € 0.2 million in Q1-12 vs. € 3.4 million in Q4-11 due to adverse impact on hedging contracts from increase of Swiss franc vs. US dollar and higher effective tax rate due to subsidiary profit composition
Liquidity position continues to strengthen with net cash up by € 7.7 million to € 70.4 million
Outlook

Q1-12 ending backlog indicates approximately 50% revenue growth and substantial profit increase in Q2-12
