Sales reach 126.9 million Euro in the first quarter, with EBIT at 25.6 million Euro, adjusted free cash flow significantly improved to 21.5 million Euro
"Despite the continuing challenging economic environment, we recorded a solid start to the year. Sales and earnings were impacted by lower order volumes from our customers and were in line with our expectations. Our program to optimize personnel and material costs will deliver its results over the year. The consequent measures to improve our cash performance sustainably are also showing success and had a positive impact on free cash flow in the first quarter. Structurally, the automotive semiconductor market continues to offer high growth opportunities for innovative and agile companies such as Elmos due to the increased use of intelligent electronics and software functions in modern vehicles." Dr. Arne Schneider, CEO of Elmos Semiconductor SE

The full-year guidance from February 2025 is fully confirmed and reflects the current uncertain situation in the core markets relevant for the Company and the low visibility. The Company is currently unable to predict the potential impact of the current tariff issues on relevant markets or on the overall economic development. However, if trade relations deteriorate further, this could have a noticeable impact on the financial performance in fiscal year 2025.
For the rest of the year, the Company expects inventory adjustments to gradually come to an end and order volumes to increase successively. However, visibility remains limited, and the economic environment continues to be challenging.
