July 1 to September 30, 2025


Encouraging order development and strong free cash flow in the third quarter of 2025 − free cash flow guidance for the full year increased Sales reach 140.8 million Euro in the third quarter 2025 − EBIT margin at 22.5% with significantly improved adjusted free cash flow of 32.5 million Euro
"Order intake continued to develop positively in the past quarter, and the signs that inventory adjustments are coming to an end and that order volumes are returning to normal levels are clearly visible. We are continuing to work consistently on implementing our operational and strategic agenda for profitable growth and higher cash generation. Thanks to our innovative product portfolio and our excellent positioning as a fabless company, we expect a strong final quarter and are also very confident about the coming year." Dr. Arne Schneider, CEO of Elmos Semiconductor SE

Profit, financial position, as well as assets and liabilities
- -> Sales remained robust in the third quarter of 2025 despite challenging market conditions and a shift in sales to the fourth quarter due to the transition to the new SAP S/4HANA system.
- -> Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and the EBIT margin continued to be impacted by cost effects such as the SAP transition and increases in material costs, as well as exchange rate effects.
- -> Capital expenditures remained at a low level in the third quarter of 2025.
- -> The adjusted free cash flow in the reporting period was primarily influenced by a strong operating cash flow and lower capital expenditures.
- -> The ratio of orders received for the next three months (Q4 2025) to sales over the past three months (Q3 2025), known as the book-to-bill ratio, is currently well above one.
2 Cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures for/plus disposal of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment (including payments from changes in the scope of consolidation).

Guidance Fiscal Year 2025 (November 4, 2025)
| Sales | 580 million Euro ± 20 million Euro | |
|---|---|---|
| EBIT margin | Lower half of the guidance range of 23% ± 3 percentage points of sales | |
| Capital expenditures1 | Lower half of the guidance range of 7% ± 2 percentage points of sales | |

1 Capital expenditures for intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, less capitalized development expenses.
Explanation of the guidance for fiscal year 2025:
The full-year guidance reflects the current situation in the core markets relevant to the company and the continuing low level of visibility. The company is currently unable to predict the potential impact of the current customs issues on relevant markets or on the overall economic development. If trade relations deteriorate further, this could have a noticeable impact on performance in fiscal year 2025.
- -> For the fiscal year 2025, Elmos expects sales of 580 million Euro ± 20 million Euro.
- -> The company continues to expect an EBIT margin in the lower half of the guidance range of 23% ± 3 percentage points of sales.
- -> Elmos forecasts capital expenditures in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets less capitalized development expenses in the lower half of the guidance range of 7% ± 2 percentage points of sales.
- -> For fiscal year 2025, Elmos now expects a positive adjusted free cash flow of 10% ± 2 percentage points of sales and thus significantly above the level of the prior year (previously: 7% ± 2 percentage points of sales).
2 Cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures for/plus disposal of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment.
