NEW PROCESSES & APPLICATIONS SUPPORT USPL GROWTH Potential for Cold Material Processing with Ultrashort Pulse Lasers So-called cold lasers process materials faster than energy can diffuse within the atomic lattice. Therefore no heat is transferred to the surrounding material, which eliminates any recast and burr. Dramatically reduced postprocessing is the consequence. Ultrashort pulse lasers such as femto- and picosecond lasers open up new applications in various markets, i.e. in the medical device, semiconductor or solar sector Suitable for bioabsorbable polymers ROFIN one of first companies to commercialize technology for industrial applications Page 15
KEY DRIVERS OF MARGIN IMPROVEMENT Blended fiber laser gross margin improvement through optimized design and vertical integration 25% reduction in high-power fiber laser product cost projected for 2015, significantly improving gross margins, with further improvement expected in 2016 Gross margin improvement based on current pricing outlook Incremental benefits from growing scale in fiber lasers & ultrashort pulse lasers Greater absorption of fixed costs Introduction of new applications with ultrashort pulse lasers New product introductions across existing technologies Projecting to achieve consolidated gross margins of approximately 40% by the end of FY 2015 Page 16
