Due to calculation processes, tables and references may produce rounding differences from the mathematically exact values (monetary units, percentage statements, etc.).
Compared to the prior-year period, sales grew by 11.0% to 48.1 million Euro (Q1 2010: 43.4 million Euro). The level of sales was virtually unchanged in relation to the fourth quarter of 2010 (Q4 2010: 48.6 million Euro). With respect to the prior-year quarters it must be taken into consideration that these include sales and earnings of the special packaging business sold as of December 31, 2010, recording sales of 6.1 million Euro for the full year 2010.
The segments semiconductor and micromechanics showed similar growth. The semiconductor segment achieved sales of 44.0 million Euro (Q1 2010: 39.7 million Euro), the micromechanics segment also grew rapidly by 12.7% to 4.1 million Euro in the first three months of 2011 (Q1 2010: 3.6 million Euro).
In all regions sales increases compared to the previous year were generated. Very satisfying is the continuing positive development in the region Asia/Pacific. Its contribution to group sales in the first quarter of 2011 rose to 13.0% (Q1 2010: 11.7%). U.S. sales also showed a pleasant development with a gain of 28.1%.
The order receipt has stabilized. The relation of orders received to sales, the so-called book-to-bill, came to one at the end of the first quarter of 2011. The supply of customers with semiconductor and sensor products continued to be performed successfully according to customer requirements.

1 Prior-year amounts have been adjusted.
The gross profit developed disproportionately to sales, growing to 20.8 million Euro in the quarter under review (Q1 2010: 18.1 million Euro). The gross margin thus increased from 41.7% in the prior-year quarter to 43.3% in Q1 2011. Decisive for the improvement of the gross margin was essentially the higher sales level, resulting in an increase in the quality of earnings due to the leverage of operations. Thus adverse effects on earnings could be overcompensated. These effects comprised price reductions granted to customers at the beginning of the year, burdens on the production performance due to inventory reduction, and the impairment of efficiency due to the transfer from 6-inch to 8-inch manufacturing at currently high utilization of production capacity.
Research and development expenses climbed from 7.1 million Euro in the first quarter of 2010 to 8.2 million Euro in the reporting quarter. The main reason are new employees in the design department for addressing new applications in the future. The ratio of R&D expenses grew from 16.3% to 17.0% of sales. The increase in distribution expenses from 3.1 million Euro to 3.5 million Euro, or from 7.1% to 7.4% of sales, is also accounted for by additional staff in sales, particularly in support of the activities in Asia. General administrative expenses were on the decline, coming to 4.1 million Euro in the quarter under review or 8.5% of sales (Q1 2010: 4.2 million Euro or 9.6% of sales).
The improvement of the gross profit and the overall slightly declining functional costs in relative terms lead to an increase in the operating income from 3.8 million Euro in the first quarter of 2010 to 5.0 million Euro in the reporting quarter. The EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) – which grew even stronger than the operating income, essentially due to the higher other operating income compared to the prior-year quarter – climbed to 5.8 million Euro or 12.1% of sales (Q1 2010: 3.5 million Euro or 8.0% of sales).
The net income after deduction of non-controlling interests rose from 2.6 million Euro in the first quarter of 2010 to 4.1 million Euro and resulted in basic earnings per share of 0.21 Euro (Q1 2010: 0.14 Euro).
The operating cash flow of the first quarter of 2011 reached 7.9 million Euro (Q1 2010: 10.3 million Euro). The difference from the prior-year amount is accounted for primarily by the outflow of funds for the acquisition of securities in the amount of 3.5 million Euro and the lower increase in trade payables compared to Q1 2010 (+1.1 million in Q1 2011 vs. +4.5 million Euro in Q1 2010). Capital expenditures amounted to 5.3 million Euro in the first quarter of 2011, equivalent to 11.0% of sales (Q1 2010: 2.1 million Euro or 4.9%). The cash flow from investing activities added up to 8.0 million Euro in the first quarter of 2011 altogether so that the free cash flow (cash flow from operating activities less cash flow from investing activities) was balanced in the reporting period. The adjusted free cash flow (cash flow from operating activities plus investments in marketable securities less capital expenditures) reached 6.1 million Euro (Q1 2010: 8.2 million Euro).
Cash and cash equivalents without consideration of acquired securities increased from 58.0 million Euro as of December 31, 2010 to 60.7 million Euro. The equity ratio of 67.8% remained at a high level (December 31, 2010: 69.1%).
3.58 million passenger cars were newly registered in the EU over the first quarter of 2011. This equals a 2.3% decrease compared to the prior-year period. Most cars were sold in Germany in this period, namely 763,403 units, thus recording a 13.9% plus. The second largest market, France, put more cars on the road than in the first quarter 2010 as well, according to the European auto manufacturers' association ACEA: 647,454 units correspond to a plus of 8.9%. On the other hand, declining registration numbers were posted by the important markets of Spain (−27.3%), Great Britain (−8.7%), and Italy (−23.1%).
Sales figures were positive throughout in the global car market, according to the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), with the exception of Japan. Sales in Russia gained 76.9% according to the VDA to reach 517,300 units, sales in U.S. grew by 20.1% to come to 3.05 million vehicles. In China 3.11 million cars were newly registered, thus 12.2% more than in the first quarter of 2010. However, sales in Japan went down 25.6% to 963,700 passenger cars due to the earthquake and its aftermath.
Dr. Anton Mindl, CEO of ELMOS, and Nicolaus Graf von Luckner, CFO of ELMOS, explained the annual result 2010 at the annual press conference and the analysts' conference on March 17, 2011. In addition, the Management Board issued a forecast for the current fiscal year 2011. The analysts' conference is available as a recording at www.elmos.de.
Furthermore, ELMOS launched new standard products and released an updated version of the standard product catalog. Among the products introduced were:
The staff of the ELMOS Group came to 965 employees as of March 31, 2011. The number of employees is slightly reduced (−2.6%) compared to December 31, 2010 (991 employees). This is primarily due to the sale of the special packaging business as of December 31, 2010.
In the first quarter of 2011, the ELMOS share performed very positively, gaining 21.1%. In comparison with the indices and competitors, the ELMOS share did considerably better. While TecDax and Technology All Share gained 9.4% and 7.9% after all, respectively, the DAX only increased by 1.8%. The ELMOS share reached its 3-month high on March 9, 2011 at 11.75 Euro and its low shortly thereafter as a consequence of the strong price response to the catastrophic events in Japan, on March 15, 2011 at 9.25 Euro. Until the end of the reporting quarter, the ELMOS share compensated this weakness almost entirely, closing at 11.40 Euro on March 31, 2011. Market capitalization came to 221.3 million Euro (based on 19.4 million shares outstanding). The average daily trading volume also showed a pleasant development compared to the previous year once more, amounting to 53.2 thousand shares (annual average 2010: 42.3 thousand shares).
ELMOS Semiconductor AG holds 119,607 own shares (treasury stock) as of March 31, 2011, unchanged from December 31, 2010.
Fidelity Management & Research Company fell below the 3% voting rights threshold on January 7, 2011. As of that date, the company held 2.95% or 571,782 ELMOS shares. On January 25, 2011 the parent FMR LLC, including attributed voting rights of its subsidiaries, also fell below the 3% voting rights threshold. As of that date, the company held 2.96% or 575,000 voting rights in ELMOS, including attributed voting rights of its subsidiaries.
On March 3, 2011 JP Morgan Asset Management (UK) exceeded the voting rights threshold of 3% and held 3.01% or 583,766 voting rights as of that date. On March 15, 2011, it fell below the 3% voting rights threshold again. As of that date, the company held 2.97% or 575,750 voting rights.
On March 4, 2011 FPM Funds SICAV exceeded the voting rights threshold of 3% and held 3.017% or 585,785 voting rights as of that date.

Risk management and individual corporate risks and opportunities are described in our Annual Report 2010. Over the first three months 2011 no material changes of the company's risks and opportunities as detailed therein have occurred. At present no risks are visible that could either separately or collectively jeopardize the company's continued existence.
The macroeconomic situation continues to be determined by local and global crises such as the economic crisis in some euro countries or the conflicts in the Middle East. No noteworthy effects of the catastrophe in Japan are foreseeable at present.
The forecast from March 2011 is therefore affirmed. Based on a stable economy, ELMOS continues to expect sales between 190 and 200 million Euro for 2011. This equals a growth rate between 6% and 12% on the basis of 2010 sales of 178.6 million Euro, adjusted by the sale of the special packaging business. The 2011 EBIT margin will reach or slightly exceed the level of 2010. The forecast takes into consideration cost increases due to higher global market prices for materials and rising development expenses and distribution expenses within the scope of the expansion of product lines and broader market coverage in Asia. Capital expenditures are scheduled to come to less than 15% of sales. The free cash flow will be positive. The forecast is held up despite an updated exchange rate of USD 1.40/EUR (previously USD 1.30/EUR).
ELMOS will benefit from global megatrends in the medium and long term. Mobility 2020 and beyond will be more varied and individual on the one hand, more standardized in some areas than according to today's concepts on the other hand. At the same time, society will face new challenges due to the demographic change and population growth in some nations. The expansion of infrastructure, logistic pathways, and power generation and supply will also only be made possible by the use of semiconductors and sensors in electronic systems. ELMOS will sustainably benefit from a continued electrification of vehicles and of daily life in general.

These financial statements do therefore not contain all the information and disclosures required for consolidated financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
For the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the same accounting policies and valuation methods have been adopted as were applied for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 with the exception of the new IFRS Standards and Interpretations listed below. The application of these Standards and Interpretations had no effect on the group's asset situation, finances and profit situation.

The company makes provisions for pension and partial retirement obligations pursuant to IAS 19. An actuarial interest rate of 5.1% has been applied for 2011, the same rate as applied as of December 31, 2010.
There were no exceptional business transactions in the first quarter of 2011.
The basis of consolidation of the ELMOS Group was expanded by three companies in the first quarter of 2011. First of all, a 50% interest in a joint venture was acquired. This company was included in the consolidated financial statements by way of proportional consolidation with economic effect as of January 1, 2011. Second of all, a subsidiary founded in South Korea in 2010 was included in these 3-month financial statements for the first time by way of full consolidation. The third company is a fully consolidated subsidiary founded in March 2011 in Singapore. These changes in the basis of consolidation have altogether no material effects on the Group's asset situation, finances and profit situation.
The macroeconomic situation continues to be determined by local and global crises such as the economic crisis in some euro countries or the conflicts in the Middle East. No noteworthy effects of the catastrophe in Japan are foreseeable at present. The business of ELMOS Semiconductor AG is not subject to material seasonal fluctuations.
The segments correspond with the internal organizational and reporting structure of the ELMOS Group. The definition of segments considers the different products and services supplied by the group. The accounting principles of the individual segments correspond with those applied by the group.
The company divides its business activities into two segments. The semiconductor business is operated through the various national subsidiaries and branches in Germany, the Netherlands, France, South Africa, South Korea, Singapore, and the U.S.A. Sales in this segment are generated predominantly with electronics for the automotive industry. In addition, ELMOS operates in the markets for industrial and consumer goods and provides semiconductors e.g. for applications in household appliances, photo cameras, installation and building technology, and machine control. Sales in the micromechanics segment are generated by the subsidiary SMI in the U.S.A. The product portfolio includes microelectro-mechanical systems (MEMS) which are primarily silicon-based high-precision pressure sensors. The following tables provide information on sales and earnings (for the period from January 1 to March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively) as well as on assets of the group's business segments (as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010).

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 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 such differences are changes in economic and business conditions, fluctuations of exchange rates 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.
