Guidance and financial figures confirmed
Dortmund, March 15, 2017: Elmos Semiconductor AG (FSE: ELG) presented its Annual Report for the year 2016 today. In addition to the audited consolidated financial statements, the Report includes comprehensive information about the Company as well as the strategy and business performance of Elmos. The Annual Report 2016 is available at www.elmos.com.
“Elmos performed well in the past financial year and set new standards with its products once more. We are a reliable partner for our customers, have grown faster than the general semiconductor market, and met our financial targets,” says Dr. Anton Mindl, CEO of Elmos Semiconductor AG, in the Annual Report. “The next smart device, after smartphones and tablets, will be the car, thus precisely the product environment where Elmos has been at home for decades now. Our chips will be the key to new functions within the system.”
Supervisory Board and Management Board will propose to the Annual General Meeting on May 11, 2017 a dividend increase to 0.35 Euro per share (previous year: 0.33 Euro per share).
As announced in February, Elmos expects for 2017 an increase in sales in the higher single digit percentage range compared to the previous year. For 2017, the EBIT margin is anticipated to be slightly better than the year before (2016: 10.1%). The capex ratio is scheduled to be less than 12% of sales. The adjusted free cash flow will be positive. The forecast is based on an exchange rate of 1.10 USD/EUR.
