ELMOS Semiconductor AG (FSE: ELG) achieved a new record for sales in the
past fiscal year 2011 according to preliminary and unaudited financial
results. Profitability in relation to growth in sales even showed a
disproportionately high increase.

Sales increased to 194.3 million Euro, equivalent to a growth of 8.8%,
adjusted by the sale of the packaging business as of the end of 2010
(adjusted sales 2010: 178.6 million Euro). Without consideration of this
divestiture, sales climbed 5.2% (2010: 184.7 million Euro). The gross
profit gained 7.0% to reach 89.6 million Euro (2010: 83.8 million Euro).
The gross margin thus amounted to 46.1% (2010: 45.3%). The EBIT also showed
a disproportionately high increase in relation to sales, coming to 26.6
million Euro (2010: 23.1 million Euro). This result corresponds to an EBIT
margin of 13.7% (2010: 12.5%). The group's net income climbed 6.6% to reach
18.9 million Euro (2010: 17.8 million Euro). Basic earnings per share (EPS)
were 0.98 Euro, compared to 0.92 Euro the previous year.

Because of this positive development, Supervisory Board and Management
Board intend to propose to the Annual General Meeting on May 8, 2012 to pay
a dividend of 0.25 Euro per share. This equals a dividend increase of 25%
per share.

Due to the rather slow start of the new fiscal year, ELMOS is expecting
2012 sales to reach the 2011 level. The increased commitment to sales and
development, particularly in Asia, is being continued. This will affect
profitability in 2012 in comparison to 2011.
