SALT LAKE CITY, UT--(Marketwired - Nov 12, 2013) - Cimetrix Incorporated (OTCQB: CMXX) (www.cimetrix.com), a leading provider of factory automation and equipment control software solutions for the global semiconductor, photovoltaic, LED, and other electronics industries, today reported financial results for its third quarter and nine months that ended September 30, 2013 as follows:

- Total revenue was $1,089,000, down 17% % from Q3 2012 and down 17% from Q2 2013
- Net loss was ($90,000)
- Loss from operations was ($152,000), compared to income of $3,000 in Q3 2012

- Loss from operations was ($112,000), compared to income of $53,000 in the first nine months of 2012
Third Quarter 2013 Highlights
- Connectivity Design Wins at Major OEMs. During the third quarter, the Company received a new design win for SECSConnect™ software from a major disk drive manufacturer, and two wins for CIMConnect™ software.
- New Cimetrix EDA/Interface A Connectivity Software. The Company delivered the next generation software to develop connectivity that complies with SEMI EDA/Interface A standards. The new product, CIMPortal™ Plus, is based upon the award-winning CIMPortal software, and offers semiconductor equipment manufacturers the features they need to support the latest revisions to the Interface A Standards, while reducing the time and effort required to develop equipment models.
- New WTWRI (Wait Time Waste Reference Implementation) Application Delivered to SEMATECH. The WTWRI application processes data collected from production equipment and automatically calculates the values of the standard Time Elements. Factory industrial engineers can use this application to quantify active and waiting times for production material, identify areas of waste, and see how to improve equipment throughput and factory cycle time. While this application is initially intended for semiconductor manufacturing, it could be used in many other industries.
Management's Comments
Commenting about the third quarter, Bob Reback, president and chief executive officer of Cimetrix stated, "At the beginning of 2013, many industry analysts predicted a down year, with an upturn in the semiconductor equipment industry starting in the third quarter. While we were hoping that timing would hold true, we found that many of our customers were experiencing delays in orders from the fabs, and the result was that we did not get the new designs and runtime licenses we forecasted. We operate in a cyclical industry, and that is why we are prepared for periods when there is a lag in the industry.
"On the positive side for this quarter, we completed a major upgrade of CIMPortal, our EDA/Interface A connectivity software. CIMPortal Plus delivers new features and capabilities to give chip makers the capability to determine when and how much data to collect, making equipment data collection much more efficient. The launch of CIMPortal Plus reinforces our leadership in software for Interface A. In addition, we continue to leverage our close collaboration with SEMATECH and leading chip makers as we invest in R&D projects for new product opportunities."
Fourth Quarter 2013 Outlook
Our customers have reported an increase in machine shipments in the fourth quarter, which has given us a strong start to the quarter, plus we expect to close a number of significant new design wins that slipped out of the third quarter that will lead to healthy SDK revenue. Cimetrix believes we will return to profitability in Q4, and all indications are this up cycle will continue into 2014.
