4. Introduction  Leading developer and manufacturer of a breadline of high performance fiber lasers, fiber amplifiers and diode lasers used in material processing.  Began operations in 1990 and incorporated in Delaware in 1998. Headquartered in Oxford, Massachusetts.  Fiber lasers, unlike gas (C02) lasers or crystal lasers use semiconductor diodes as the light source to pump specialty optical fibers. The fibers have the diameter comparable to human hair.  Fiber lasers advantages : superior performance, lower cost, ease of use, compact size, wavelength and precision control.

12. Macroeconomic Overview

13. Applications of Laser Products  Communication and materials processing segments are the largest in the laser industry  3D laser printing is currently the smallest segment but is rising quick. Its revenue increased 30% in 2014

14. Industrial Laser Revenues  C02 Lasers make up about 34% of industrial laser’s revenue in 2014  Fiber Laser makes up about 36% of industrial laser’s revenue in 2014  Fiber Laser in industrial laser grew 14% in 2014 and is expected to continue in the coming years

15. Market Trends  Industrial laser systems account for 14% of global machine tool sales  Revenue growth of 7.93% from 2013-2014  Strong growth is expected to continue due to strong demand for excimer lasers and supplies, essential for manufacturing semiconductors Material Processing Communication  Revenue grew 3.56% from 2013 to 2014 and is expected to grow at 2.8% per year  Communication segment growth is predicted to slow down slightly in 2015 but will remain strong  Optical Storage Segment growth is expected to be stagnant or negative due to the growing popularity in solid state drive

16. Automotive Trend Global vehicle production is forecasted to increase steadily at around 4.8% from 2015-2017 From: Statista

17.  Vertically integrated development and manufacturing  Strong research bringing breath and depth of expertise  Diverse customer base reflecting the diverse applications of lasers SWOT Analysis  Litigation expenses due to infringement of intellectual property rights  High level of fixed costs and inventory levels  Limited suppliers  Huge opportunity to displace traditional lasers in several applications  Enable use of fiber lasers in new applications  Can expand product portfolio and global to reach  Markets are competitive characterized by rapidly changing technology  Manufacturing capacity and operations may not be appropriate for future levels of demand  Currency rate risk

18. Porters Five Forces  Single of limited source suppliers for many of the key components and raw materials.  Suppliers might also be key competitors. Supplier Power – High  Largest customer generates 11% and top 5 generate 20% in revenue.  Diverse range of customers. Buyer Power – Low  Competed with conventional laser technology and amplifier products  Also compete with non-laser production methods such as water jet cutting etc Threat of substitution – Moderate to High  Significant price and technology competition within the industry.  They are bigger players like Rofin-Sinar Technologies, Trumpf GmbH etc. Competitive Rivalry – High  Being a manufacturing and research intensive business it is not easy for new entrants.  Domain expertise is an essential part. Threat of new Entry – Low to Moderate

19. Financial & Technical Analysis

20. Financial Analysis  Steady profit margins  Slight decrease in 2013, due to increased costs as a result of a small acquisition Profit Margins  High and steady conversion cycle of around 128 days Conversion cycle
