Earnings Release • Nov 4, 2021

Quarterly statement Q3 2021

July 1 to September 30, 2021

Promising business development in the third quarter of 2021

Quarterly sales of 80.8 million Euro mark new record level – EBIT margin at 16.8%

"We were able to continue our solid business development in the third quarter and performed well in an ongoing challenging market environment. Record sales of 80.8 million Euro and an EBIT margin of 16.8% are both encouraging figures. The global wafer capacities remain tight, which is why we expect allocation to continue in 2022. This of course has an influence on our growth expectations for next year."

Dr. Arne Schneider, CEO of Elmos Semiconductor SE

Profit, financial position, as well as assets and liabilities

• -> The sales and earnings performance in the third quarter of 2021 is slightly above the midpoint of the guidance range issued at the beginning of August. Business performance continues to be influenced by a challenging market environment due to the global semiconductor shortage and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
• -> Group sales and EBIT margin were significantly higher compared to the prior-year quarter, which was significantly negatively affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
• -> Capital expenditures again were on a high level and were mainly used for the expansion of testing operations. In addition to the backend CAPEX program, an investment in a new building for the software division was made in the third quarter of 2021.
• -> Adjusted free cash flow was slightly positive despite the high level of investments.
• -> The ratio of orders on hand for the next three months to sales over the past three months, known as the book-to-bill ratio, was above one at the end of the reporting period.

This document is a quarterly statement pursuant to section 51a of the rules and regulations for the Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse. Due to calculation processes, tables and references may produce rounding differences from the mathematically exact values (monetary units, percentage statements, etc.).

Forward-looking statements

This report contains statements directed to the future that are based on assumptions and estimates made by the management of Elmos. Even though we assume the underlying expectations of our forward-looking statements to be realistic, we cannot guarantee these expectations will prove right. The assumptions may carry risks and uncertainties, and as a result actual events may differ materially from the current statements made with respect to the future. Among the factors that could cause material differences are changes in general economic and business conditions, changes in exchange and interest rates, the introduction of competing products, lack of acceptance of new products, and changes in business strategy. Elmos neither intends nor assumes any obligation to update its statements with respect to future events.
