Positive closing of the third quarter of 2024 and confirmation of the sales and EBIT outlook for 2024 Sales growth of $+3.4 \%$ to 156.6 million Euro in Q3 2024 with a $25.5 \%$ EBIT margin
"Elmos continued to develop positively in the third quarter, despite ongoing inventory adjustments by customers and increased uncertainties about the development of the automotive markets. We were able to continue our profitable growth path and, despite the somewhat less dynamic market development than in previous years, the anniversary year - Elmos turned 40 years old in 2024 - will once again be very successful for Elmos. The structural trend towards more intelligent electronics in modern vehicles remains stable and the growth opportunities for innovative and agile semiconductor companies like Elmos remain positive." Dr. Arne Schneider, CEO of Elmos Semiconductor SE

Explanation of the guidance for fiscal year 2024:
$\rightarrow$ For fiscal year 2024, Elmos expects sales in the lower range of the unchanged sales guidance of 605 million Euro $\pm 25$ million Euro and thus still a slight growth compared to the record sales of the previous year.
$\rightarrow$ The operating EBIT margin (excluding special items) is still expected at $25 \% \pm 2$ percentage points of sales.
$\rightarrow$ Following the high growth investments in previous years, the company expects a reduction in capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets less capitalized development expenses to around $12 \% \pm 2$ percentage points of sales.
$\rightarrow$ For the full year 2024, Elmos now expects a positive adjusted free cash flow, including effects from the closing of the sale of the Elmos wafer fab to Littelfuse Inc., USA.
Current expectations may be affected in particular by geopolitical events such as the war in Ukraine, the conflict in the Middle East, by tighter sanctions and trade restrictions, by market influences such as inventory adjustments by customers, increasing prices, and potential shortages for energy, materials, services, and personnel.

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.
