• -> The positive sales performance is being supported by all three product lines.

• -> The Semiconductor segment's ratio of orders received to sales, known as the book-to-bill ratio, was above one at the end of the reporting period.
• -> The capitalization of development expenses in the amount of around 2.6 million Euro continues to have a contrary effect on the cost side compared to the general increase in research and development resources.
• -> Capital expenditures were primarily related to the further expansion of test operations.
• -> The adjusted free cash flow was negatively impacted by the high capital expenditures, among other factors.

This report contains forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions and estimates made by the Elmos management. Even though we assume the underlying expectations of our 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 forward-looking statements.
