ELMOS Semiconductor AG: Cash flow 2010 follows strong sales and earnings performance
ELMOS Semiconductor AG / Key word(s): Final Results/Forecast
16.03.2011 / 23:00
Sales of 190 to 200 million Euro expected for 2011
Dortmund, March 16, 2011: ELMOS Semiconductor AG (FSE: ELG) improved all key figures considerably over the past fiscal year 2010, as has been announced in February 2011 within the framework of preliminary figures. Sales were increased by 49.2% to 184.7 million Euro in 2010. Compared to the previous year, the gross profit more than doubled to 83.8 million Euro. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) reached an amount of 23.1 million Euro or an EBIT margin of 12.5% of sales in the year 2010. The net income amounted to 17.8 million Euro, equivalent to basic earnings per share (EPS) of 0.92 Euro. Supervisory Board and Management Board propose to the Annual General Meeting of May 17, 2011 to pay a dividend of 0.20 Euro.
The adjusted free cash flow of 20.6 million Euro also turned out satisfactory in its strength, the result of a significantly improved operating performance combined with adequate capital expenditures. The cash flow from operating activities was more than tripled in comparison with 2009 and amounted to 30.0 million Euro in 2010 (2009: 9.4 million Euro). In 2010 12.4 million Euro or 6.7% of sales were invested (2009: 7.4 million Euro or 6.0% of sales).
'In 2011 we want to convince the customers increasingly with new solutions and thus generate further growth. We will purposefully enhance our product lines and keep pushing the expansion into Asia,' says Dr. Anton Mindl, CEO of ELMOS Semiconductor AG.
The consequences of the recent disastrous developments in Japan are currently not foreseeable and not reflected in the following forecast. However, for ELMOS there are only marginal direct dependencies with respect to supply and customer relationships with Japan; indirect effects are currently not assessable. At a stable economy, ELMOS expects sales between 190 and 200 million Euro for 2011. This equals a growth rate between 6% and 12%, based on 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 account cost increases due to higher global market prices for materials and rising development and distribution expenses, among other factors. Capital expenditures are scheduled to come to less than 15% of sales. The free cash flow will be positive. The forecast is based on an exchange rate of 1.30 U.S. dollars/Euro.

The conference will later be downloadable from the website. At 11.30 a.m. (CET), the annual press conference will be held in Dortmund.
