Definitions of selected financial indicators

  • Adjusted free cash flow: Cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures for/plus disposal of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment (including payments from changes in the scope of consolidation).

Key figures Profit, financial position, as well as assets and liabilities

  • -> Sales and earnings developed positively in the first quarter of 2024 despite ongoing geopolitical and economic uncertainties.
  • -> EBIT and EBIT margin increased slightly compared to the same quarter of the previous year.
  • -> Capital expenditures were at a higher level at the start of the year, as expected.
  • -> Adjusted free cash flow was primarily influenced by year-end effects on working capital and was therefore negative.
  • -> The ratio of orders received for the next three months to sales over the past three months, known as the book-to-bill ratio, stood at one at the end of the reporting period.

Sales by region

Guidance Fiscal Year 2024 (unchanged as of February 15, 2024)

Sales 605 million Euro ± 25 million Euro
Operating EBIT margin1 25% ± 2 percentage points
Capital expenditures (in % of sales)2 12% ± 2 percentage points
Operating adjusted free cash flow3 positive and significantly above the previous year's level (-24.3 million Euro)
Assumed average exchange rate 1.10 EUR/USD

1 EBIT margin excluding effects from the closing of the sale of the Elmos wafer fab to Littelfuse Inc., USA.

2 Capital expenditures for intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, less capitalized development expenses.

3 Cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures for/plus disposal of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, excluding effects from the closing of the sale of the Elmos wafer fab to Littelfuse Inc., USA.

Explanation of the guidance for fiscal year 2024:

The current outlook is unchanged from the guidance of February 15, 2024.

  • -> For the 2024 financial year, Elmos expects to generate sales of 605 million Euro ± 25 million Euro and an operating EBIT margin of 25% ± 2 percentage points of sales. The anticipated operating EBIT margin does not include any effects from the closing of the sale of the Elmos wafer fab to Littelfuse Inc., USA, which is expected for the end of December 2024.
  • -> Following the significant expansion of testing capacities, Elmos expects capital expenditures to decline year on year in 2024. The company therefore anticipates that capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, less capitalized development costs, will amount to approximately 12% of sales ± 2 percentage points.
  • -> For fiscal year 2024, Elmos expects positive operating adjusted free cash flow (excluding effects from the closing of the sale of the Elmos wafer fab to Littelfuse Inc., USA) to be significantly higher than in the previous year (-24.3 million Euro).

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, market turbulence, rising prices, and potential shortages for energy, materials, services, and personnel.
