Half Year 2019 IQE Plc Earnings Call Transcript
Okay. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to IQE's First Half 2019 Results Presentation. I'm Drew Nelson, CEO. I've got with me, Tim Pullen, who's the CFO; and also in the audience is Phil Smith, who's our Chairman.
So the agenda today, the running order is, first of all, I'll give you a market and business update. I'll then hand over to Tim to give you a more detailed review of the first half results. And then I'll talk a little bit about our strategic update towards the end.
So let me, first of all, give a market and business update. On the left, you can see, as an overview, IQE is the leading global supplier of advanced compound semiconductor wafers. And I believe we are continuing to extend that lead by bringing a lot of materials innovations to the marketplace in terms of filters and switches and more advanced products for the 5G infrastructure.
We have a global footprint. We have 4 manufacturing sites in the U.S., 3 in Europe and 2 in Asia. And I think this will stand us in great stead moving forward.
