  • -> Once again, Group sales were significantly higher year on year and have now set a new record for quarterly sales for the eleventh time in succession.
  • -> EBIT and the EBIT margin continued to improve due to the strong growth in the third quarter of 2023.
  • -> The main focus of capital expenditure remained on the expansion of testing capacities, in particular in Asia.
  • -> Adjusted free cash flow in the reporting period was primarily influenced by the partial payment for the sale of the wafer fab, as well as investments in the future and increased working capital.
  • -> As expected, the supply and demand situation in the market for automotive semiconductors continued to normalize.
  • -> The order situation at Elmos remains at a high level and the ratio of orders received for the next three months to sales over the past three months, known as the book-to-bill ratio, continued to be above one at the end of the reporting period.

The current outlook has not changed since the guidance dated June 28, 2023

Current expectations may be adversely affected in particular by geopolitical events, especially the war in Ukraine, the Middle East conflict or tighter sanctions and trade restrictions, market volatility, such as the ongoing global allocation phase in the automotive semiconductor sector combined with global supply chain bottlenecks, rising costs of and potential shortages for energy, material, services, and personnel.

Forward-looking statements

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. Elmos neither intends nor assumes any obligation to update its statements with respect to future events.
