Successful start into the new year – profitable growth continues
At 130.9 million Euro, sales up 36% year on year in the first quarter 2023 – EBIT margin reaches 24.3%
"We got off to a successful start in the new year, which has allowed us to lay a solid foundation for further positive business performance in 2023. As a result of new project launches, business development will be even more dynamic in the second half of the year, enabling us to further strengthen the market position in our application fields. As one of the leading suppliers of innovative mixed-signal semiconductors, and as a reliable partner to our customers, we will benefit in the long term from the structural growth in the semiconductor market resulting from the increasing digitization and electrification of all vehicle systems and functions."
