Five year review
Operations in the Obducat Group focus entirely on the areas of nanoimprint lithography, NIL, electron beam recording, EBR, and scanning electron microscopy, SEM. Obducat’s source of income is derived from sales of equipment, stamps in NIL and EBR, and sales of SEM in the English subsidiary Obducat CamScan Ltd.

Income and margins
Sales amounted to SEK 51.603 thousand, corresponding to a decrease of 28 per cent compared with 2008. The reason for the decrease is primarily the outcome of customers having delayed their purchase decisions as a direct result of the global financial crisis. The Obducat Group’s gross margin for 2009 was 51 per cent compared with 58 per cent the previous year. The change in gross margin is primarily due to the product mix, with a comparatively larger share of SEM system sales.
Operating profit/loss
The 2009 operating loss amounted to SEK -45,596 thousand compared with SEK -24 565 thousand in 2008. In 2009 the operating income fell by SEK 21,031 thousand compared with 2008. In 2009 operating costs increased compared with 2008, largely attributable to the development of Sindre® 400, the HVM machine. As mentioned above, the reason for the weaker result is the result of customers postponing their purchase decisions as a direct consequence of the global financial crisis.
