Consolidated sales for the second quarter of 2023 were marked by strong growth in the medical business, with a revenue increase of 2.3 times compared to the second quarter of 2022. The aerospace segment, the Group's largest market, also maintained its high level of activity, up 17.3% compared to the second quarter of 2022.
The optical communications business benefited from a particularly high order backlog. However, due to the ongoing modernization of certain industrial equipment by the Group's subcontractor (the company that acquired MEMSCAP's industrial site in 2022), the delivery volumes have been restricted for this quarter compared to received orders. Nevertheless, the optical communications business, through the implementation of a fabless organization, continued to play a crucial role in enhancing the Group's profitability.

(Any apparent discrepancies in totals are due to rounding.)
The gross margin rate, representing 44.9% of consolidated revenue compared to 38.4% in the second quarter of 2022, increased by 6.5 percentage points and continued to benefit from the growth in sales volumes and the favourable evolution of the product mix during the quarter. The gross margin thus amounted to EUR 1,536 thousand compared to EUR 873 thousand for the second quarter of 2022.
Operating expenses, net of research and development grants, amounted to EUR 883 thousand compared to an amount of EUR 875 thousand for the second quarter of 2022.
For the second quarter of 2023, the Group posted an operating profit from continuing operations of EUR 653 thousand compared to an operating loss of EUR 2 thousand for the second quarter of 2022. The tax expense recognized over the second quarters of 2022 and 2023 corresponded to the change in deferred tax assets. This tax expense is a non-cash item.
Net profit after tax from continuing operations thus amounted to EUR 664 thousand in the second quarter of 2023 compared to a net profit of EUR 135 thousand in the second quarter of 2022.
The Group therefore reported a net profit of EUR 664 thousand in the second quarter of 2023 (19.4% of consolidated revenue) compared to a net loss of EUR 128 thousand in the second quarter of 2022 including discontinued operations.
Perspectives
Recording a quarterly adjusted EBITDA1 of EUR 936 thousand in the second quarter of 2023, representing 27.4% of the consolidated revenue (compared to EUR 445 thousand in the second quarter of 2022), and a quarterly net profit of EUR 664 thousand, MEMSCAP demonstrates the successful launch of its 4G plan.
With a recognized expertise and driven by promising and high-visibility markets, MEMSCAP reaffirms its trajectory through 2026, focused on achieving an average annual hyper-growth rate of 20%. 4G stands for consistent growth, competitive growth, profitable growth, and responsible growth.
1 Adjusted EBITDA means operating profit before depreciation, amortisation, and share-based payment charge (IFRS 2) and including foreign exchange gains/losses related
to ordinary activities.
