Definitions of selected financial indicators

• Capital expenditures: Capital expenditures for intangible assets and property, plant and equipment less capitalized development expenses

• Adjusted free cash flow: Cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures for/plus disposal of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment

• Further information on the key figures used can be found in the 2022 Annual Report at www.elmos.com

Profit, financial position, as well as assets and liabilities

• -> Positive sales and earnings performance continues in the second quarter of 2023 as a result of persistently high demand for Elmos semiconductors.
• -> Group sales were significantly higher year on year and have now set a new record for quarterly sales for the tenth time in succession.
• -> Due to the strong growth, EBIT and the EBIT margin improved year on year in the second quarter of 2023, despite inflation-related cost increases.
• -> Capital expenditures were once again intensified in the reporting period to expand testing capacities.
• -> Adjusted free cash flow was negative in the second quarter of 2023 mainly due to high capital expenditures for growth and increased working capital.
• -> The order situation 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.

Sales by region

Economic environment

• -> The first six months of fiscal year 2023 were characterized by continued strong demand for semiconductors, especially for automotive applications. However, consistently high prices dampening consumer spending, tight monetary policy, and a tense global economic situation were all factors that hindered a broader economic.
• -> According to the German Association of the Automotive Industry (Verband der Automobilindustrie – VDA), the automotive industry has performed solidly over the course of the year to date. Despite a decline in orders received, the order backlog remains at a solid level. For this reason as well as easing supply bottlenecks and the lower levels of the previous year, the global automotive market increased significantly in the first six months of 2023. The number of new car registrations rose by 18% year on year in Europe, by 13% in the United States and by 9% in China.
• -> According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) global economic growth will slow down by 2.8% this year, mainly due to ongoing high inflation and the war in Ukraine. The IMF is forecasting a 1.3% increase in economic output among industrialized markets and growth of 3.9% in emerging and developing economies. The VDA recently revised its guidance for vehicle production upwards due to the improved performance over the year to date. However, the automotive market still remains relatively far away from the 2019 pre-crisis levels despite the marked gains.
• -> The prospects for the automotive semiconductor market remain positive. According to Gartner, it is expected to expand by 13.8% in 2023, with growth fueled by increasing digitalization and electrification in vehicle systems and functions and the further development of e-mobility.

Guidance Fiscal Year 2023 (unchanged as of June 28, 2023)

Sales	More than 560 million Euro (at least +25% YoY)
EBIT margin	25% ± 2 percentage points
Capital expenditures (in % of sales)1	19% ± 2 percentage points
Operating adjusted free cash flow2	Negative
Assumed average exchange rate	1.05 EUR/USD

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

2 Cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures for/plus disposal of intangible assets and property, plant, and equipment and excluding effects from M&A transactions.

Explanation of the guidance for fiscal year 2023:

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

• -> For fiscal year 2023, Elmos expects Group sales of more than 560 million Euro (increase of at least 25% year on year) and an EBIT margin of 25% ± 2 percentage points of sales.
• -> The company anticipates capital expenditures of approximately 19% ± 2 percentage points of sales in fiscal year 2023.
• -> As a result, Elmos expects a negative operating adjusted free cash flow in 2023.

Current expectations may be adversely affected in particular by geopolitical events, especially the war in Ukraine 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.

Opportunities and risks

• -> The individual company risks and opportunities are described in detail in our Annual Report 2022. Elmos has not identified any material changes in the first half of fiscal year 2023 above and beyond the opportunities and risks presented in the Annual Report 2022.
• -> Since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, business performance has been characterized by uncertainties due to a variety of political and economic effects caused by sanctions, supply bottlenecks and higher prices for raw materials and energy, and high inflation.
• -> The success of our products depends on general economic and political conditions and can be impacted by events such as economic crisis, military conflicts, political changes, geopolitical tension, and trade wars and trade restrictions.
• -> Supply constraints in the global semiconductor market may have eased somewhat in the first half of 2023, but they continue to impact economic development and the financial performance of Elmos.
• -> The situation on the labor market remains tight, particularly for skilled workers and engineers, and there remains a risk that the company will lose qualified employees and not be able to replace them quickly and that demand for new staff cannot be met.
• -> Elmos continuously monitors the geopolitical and economic environment in our core markets in order to anticipate new potential risks or changes in the assessment of risks as early as possible, and to be in a position to take action or make adjustments. However, it is not possible at the present time to completely assess the full extent of the risks posed by the current geopolitical and economic situation.
• -> 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

• -> On June 28, 2023, Elmos and Littelfuse, Inc., a diversified industrial technology company, entered into an agreement on the sale of the Elmos wafer fab in Dortmund to Littelfuse.
• -> Elmos held its Annual General Meeting as a virtual event on May 10, 2023. The shareholders adopted all of the items on the agenda by a large majority. The Annual General Meeting approved a roughly 15% dividend increase to 0.75 Euro per share for fiscal year 2022.

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

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the first half of 2023 were released for publication pursuant to Management Board resolution in July 2023.

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, 2023, 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 be consulted together with the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

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, 2022, with the exception of the amended IFRS standards explained below.

• -> Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting Policies
• -> Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates
• -> Amendments to IAS 12 Deferred Tax: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities from a Single Transaction
• -> IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts and Amendments to IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts
• -> Amendments to IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts: Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 Comparative Information

The initial application of these amended standards did not have a material impact on the Group's financial, profit, and economic position.

Estimates and assumptions

The Company recognizes provisions for pension obligations pursuant to IAS 19. For 2023, an actuarial interest rate of 3.15 % has been applied, unchanged from December 31, 2022. Provisions for pensions were not remeasured as of June 30, 2023, due to materiality reasons. They will be remeasured as of December 31, 2023.

Estimates and discretionary decisions

Estimates and discretionary decisions may have an impact on the amount of assets and liabilities reported in the balance sheet, the disclosures regarding contingent assets and liabilities as of the reporting date, and on the income and expenses disclosed for the reporting period. This is all the more relevant against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine and associated risks such as potential shortages of energy and raw materials and price increases. A widening of this conflict would heighten the risk of a global economic downturn even further, which, coupled with the current inflation and interest rate trend, could lead to a significant decline in consumer spending. Tariff disputes and trade restrictions, between the United States and China for example, could also dampen worldwide trade and global growth. As a result, the amounts actually incurred or accrued may differ from the estimates and discretionary decisions; changes may have a material effect on the interim financial statements. The available information on anticipated economic development was taken into account when updating the estimates and discretionary decisions. This information was taken into consideration when reviewing the impairment of financial assets.

Discretionary decisions (with respect to IFRS 5)

On June 28, 2023, Elmos Semiconductor SE and Littelfuse Inc. ("Littelfuse") signed a sale and purchase agreement to transfer Elmos' 200mm wafer fabrication activities at the Dortmund location (fab) to Littelfuse. The completion of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. In this context it had to be considered whether the accounting provisions of IFRS 5 were applicable as of the interim balance sheet date of June 30, 2023. Given its prior experiences with the rejection of the previous deal, the management of Elmos believes, as of the reporting date, that it is not highly probable that the authorities will issue a final and unconditional approval within the meaning of IFRS 5.7 in conjunction with IFRS 5.8 and, as a result, the planned transaction was not recognized in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 5 in the consolidated interim financial statements as of June 30, 2023.

Recycling of equity components in other comprehensive income

The Company sold bonds prior to maturity in the first half of 2023. Adjustments were made for these bonds in other comprehensive income as part of equity up to the date of sale. Pursuant to IAS 1.92, these amounts that are recognized in other comprehensive income have to be disclosed as reclassification adjustments (recycling) as of the date of realization. In this context, amounts of 268 thousand Euro previously recognized in other comprehensive income had to be reclassified through profit or loss to the consolidated income statement in the first half of the year (first half of 2022: 0 thousand Euro). There were no other transactions, either in the first half of 2023 or in the prior year, that would have required the recycling of equity components in other comprehensive income.

Contracts with customers

The geographic segment "EU countries" basically includes all member states of the European Union at the current reporting date. The European countries that are not currently members of the European Union are part of the "Other" segment. Revenue from external customers is distributed according to the customer's delivery locations.

Ordinary business transactions with a significant impact

Substantial capital expenditures affecting property, plant and equipment were made in the first half of 2023 (54,120 thousand Euro) and in the second quarter of 2023 (38,833 thousand Euro). Capital expenditures focused mainly on the expansion of testing capacities (technical equipment and machinery).

Exceptional business transactions

There were no exceptional business transactions in the first six months of 2023.

Seasonal and economic effects on business operations

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) lowered its global growth forecast slightly in April 2023 as it believes that ongoing inflation and the war in Ukraine will cause the global economy to expand at a slower-than-expected rate.

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 29 to the 2022 consolidated financial statements. Its relevance to these half-year financial statements is undiminished.

Book values and fair values of each category of financial assets and liabilities

REVIEW REPORT

To Elmos Semiconductor SE, Dortmund

We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements – comprising the condensed consolidated statement of financial position, the condensed consolidated statement of income, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period from 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023, and selected explanatory notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements – and the interim group management report for the period from 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023 which form part of the half-year financial reporting in accordance with section 115 of the 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 for the period from 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023 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.
