Definition 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
Capital expenditures: capital expenditures for intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment less capitalized development expenses - For more details on the key figures used, please refer to the Annual Report 2018 of Elmos Semiconductor AG at www.elmos.com

Profit, financial position as well as assets and liabilities

-> The positive sales and earnings development is primarily attributable to the success of the products on the market and good operating performance in the first half of 2019.
-> The Semiconductor segment's ratio of orders received to sales, known as the book-to-bill ratio, stood at approximately one at the end of the reporting period.
-> Development resources were strengthened as planned by opening a new location in Düsseldorf, among other measures.
-> Adjusted free cash flow was affected by capital expenditures and an increase in working capital, among other factors.
-> The first-time application of the new standard IFRS 16 Leases led to an increase in financial liabilities and property, plant, and equipment of roughly 17 million Euro, as reflected in the calculation of net cash by higher liabilities. Also the cash outflow through the dividend payment in the amount of 10.2 million Euro contributed to the balance of net cash.
-> As part of the current share buyback program, 107,785 shares were bought back for a total of 2.2 million Euro.

Economic environment

-> International new car registrations developed negatively for the most part in the first half of 2019, according to the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA). The number of new car registrations fell in Western Europe (–3.5%), the United States (–1.9%), and China (–14.0%). Sales of new cars remained virtually unchanged in Japan (–0.3%). At +10.9%, only Brazil recorded growth.
-> The global economy and the automotive industry in particular are exposed to various risks. Their further development and possible effects cannot currently be predicted to a comprehensive extent.
-> The outlook for the automotive semiconductor market continues to be positive. According to a study by Verified Market Research from January 2019, this market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 5% between 2018 and 2025.

Guidance Financial calendar

November 6, 2019
November 25-26, 2019

¹ The German Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz) and the Market Abuse Regulation oblige issuers to announce any information that may have a substantial price impact immediately, irrespective of the financial calendar. Therefore, we cannot rule out having to announce key figures of quarterly and annual results ahead of the dates mentioned above. As we can never rule out changes of dates, we recommend checking them in advance on the website (www.elmos.com).

-> The guidance issued in February 2019 is confirmed.

Opportunities and risks

The individual company risks and opportunities are described in our Annual Report 2018. In the first six months of 2019, there was no significant change to the company's risk and opportunities as described in the Annual Report. As explained in the Annual Report, individual risks may cause substantial damage to the company in extreme cases. Such cases can neither be predicted nor ruled out. Irrespective of this, it should be noted that the occurrence of an individual risk, even if it does not develop into an extreme case, can have a strong negative impact on the profit, financial position as well as assets and liabilities of the company.

Significant events

At the Annual General Meeting on May 15, 2019, the shareholders agreed to the proposed dividend increase to 0.52 Euro per share (prior year: 0.40 Euro). The other items on the agenda were also approved by a large majority.

The Management Board of Elmos and the Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems (IMS) in Duisburg, Germany, agreed to extend the existing cooperation and research contract for 12 months, starting in July 2019.

The Supervisory Board and Management Board have decided to make preparations for the conversion of the company into a European stock corporation (Societas Europaea – SE). The move will help position Elmos as an international, European company. The Annual General Meeting in May 2020 will decide on the change of legal form.

The Supervisory Board has once again appointed Guido Meyer as Chief Operating Officer until 2024. He is responsible for Production and Logistics.

Notes to condensed interim consolidated financial statements January 1 to June 30

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the first half of 2019 were released for publication pursuant to Management Board resolution in August 2019.

1 – GENERAL INFORMATION

The address of the Company's registered office is Heinrich-Hertz-Straße 1, 44227 Dortmund, Germany.

Basic principles of the preparation of financial statements

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period January 1 to June 30, 2019, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting." These financial statements therefore do not contain all the information and disclosures required for consolidated financial statements and should therefore be consulted together with the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

Essential accounting policies and measurement methods

For the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the same accounting policies and measurement methods have been adopted as were applied for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, with the exception of the new or amended IFRS standards, interpretations and improvements explained below.

-> Amendment to IAS 19 Employee Benefits: Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement
-> Amendments to IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures: Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures
-> IFRS 16 Leases
-> Amendments to IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments: Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation
-> IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
-> Improvements to IFRS 2015-2017

With the exception of the leasing standards under IFRS 16 as applicable for the first time as of January 1, 2019, the initial application of these amended standards, interpretations, and improvements did not have a material impact on the Group's financial, profit, and economic position.

IFRS 16 has superseded all previous regulation of leases, including IAS 17 – Leases, IFRIC 4 – Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease, SIC 15 – Operating Leases, and SIC 27 – Evaluating the Substance of Transactions in the Legal Form of a Lease.

IFRS 16 defines principles for the recognition, measurement, disclosure, and the notes relating to leases with the purpose of assuring that lessee and lessor make relevant information available with respect to the effects of leases. At the same time, the previous accounting model according to IAS 17 with a distinction between operating and finance leases has been abandoned in favor of a uniform accounting model for leases committed to the concept of control. The new standard provides for a single accounting model for the lessee. This model has the lessee enter all assets and liabilities from leases in the statement of financial position provided the lease term exceeds 12 months or the asset is not immaterial (right to choose). The lessor will maintain the distinction between finance and operating leases for the purpose of accounting.

Elmos recognizes an increase in property, plant and equipment, as well as in financial liabilities, in the amount of approx. 17 million Euro as of January 1, 2019, in the statement of financial position. In the consolidated income statement, depreciation and amortization and interest, rather than lease expense, will be reported. This results in improvements to the financial key figures such as EBIT and EBITDA. In the statement of cash flows, repayments will be reported in the cash flow from financing activities and interest payments will be included in cash flow from operating activities. First-time adoption of IFRS 16 was based on the modified retrospective approach. The volume of required disclosures in the notes as of December 31, 2019, will increase significantly.

Estimates and assumptions

The Company recognizes provisions for pension obligations pursuant to IAS 19. For 2019, an actuarial interest rate of 1.80% has been applied, unchanged from December 31, 2018.

Changes in estimates and assumptions

None

Exceptional business transactions

There were no exceptional business transactions in the first six months of 2019.

Basis of consolidation/Investments in associates

There were also no changes in the basis of consolidation and/or investments in associates in the first half of 2019.

Seasonal and economic effects on business operations

In July 2019, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) downgraded its global economic growth forecast for the third time this year to 3.2% for 2019. In April, the IMF had predicted growth of 3.3%. The economy in the eurozone will grow by 1.3% in 2019, according to the IMF. The IMF predicts an increase of 6.2% for China's economy. The U.S. economy is slated to grow by 2.6%. Among other factors, punitive tariffs currently pose the greatest threat to the global economy. According to the IMF, the sanctions imposed by the U.S. could interrupt global supply chains in the technology sector. The business of Elmos Semiconductor AG shows rather insignificant seasonal fluctuation.

2 – INFORMATION ON FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following table lists the book values and fair values of the Group's financial instruments. The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability between market participants in a regular business transaction as of the measurement date. In view of varying factors of influence, the presented fair values can only be regarded as indicators of the amounts actually recoverable in the market. Detailed information on the methods and assumptions underlying the determination of the value of financial instruments can be found under note 28 to the 2018 consolidated financial statements. Its relevance to these half-year financial statements is undiminished.

REVIEW REPORT To Elmos Semiconductor AG

We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements – comprising the condensed statement of financial position, the condensed statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period, the condensed statement of changes in equity, the condensed statement of cash flows and selected explanatory notes – and the interim group management report of Elmos Semiconductor AG, Dortmund, for the period from 1 January 2019 to 30 June 2019 which form part of the half-year financial reporting in accordance with section 115 German Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz – WpHG). The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with those IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, and of the interim group management report in accordance with the requirements of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim group management reports, is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and on the interim group management report based on our review.

We conducted our review of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the interim group management report in accordance with the German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW). Those standards require that we plan and perform the review so that we can preclude through critical evaluation, with a certain level of assurance, that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material aspects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, and that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material aspects, in accordance with the regulations of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of Company employees and analytical assessments and therefore does not provide the assurance attainable in a financial statement audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a financial statements audit, we cannot issue an auditor's report.

Based on our review no matters have come to our attention that cause us to believe that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Elmos Semiconductor AG, Dortmund, for the period from 1 January 2019 to 30 June 2019 have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, or that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the regulations of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim group management reports.

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.
