Quarterly statement Q1 2025

January 1 to March 31, 2025

Elmos starts the new fiscal year as expected – guidance for 2025 confirmed

Sales reach 126.9 million Euro in the first quarter, with EBIT at 25.6 million Euro, adjusted free cash flow significantly improved to 21.5 million Euro

"Despite the continuing challenging economic environment, we recorded a solid start to the year. Sales and earnings were impacted by lower order volumes from our customers and were in line with our expectations. Our program to optimize personnel and material costs will deliver its results over the year. The consequent measures to improve our cash performance sustainably are also showing success and had a positive impact on free cash flow in the first quarter. Structurally, the automotive semiconductor market continues to offer high growth opportunities for innovative and agile companies such as Elmos due to the increased use of intelligent electronics and software functions in modern vehicles." Dr. Arne Schneider, CEO of Elmos Semiconductor SE

Key figures Profit, financial position, as well as assets and liabilities

  • -> Sales and earnings developed as planned in the first quarter 2025 in a continuing challenging environment and were influenced by ongoing inventory adjustments by customers and a generally subdued market development.
  • -> Earnings before interests and taxes (EBIT) were also impacted by fixed cost effects due to the lower volume.
  • -> Capital expenditures continued to decline at the start of the year, as expected, and include the acquisition of an office building for around 200 employees at the Dortmund site.
  • -> Adjusted free cash flow developed particularly positively in the first quarter of 2025.
  • -> The ratio of orders received for the next three months (Q2 2025) to sales over the past three months (Q1 2025), known as the book-to-bill-ratio, is currently above one.

2.3% Explanation of the guidance for fiscal year 2025:

The full-year guidance from February 2025 is fully confirmed and reflects the current uncertain situation in the core markets relevant for the Company and the low visibility. The Company is currently unable to predict the potential impact of the current tariff issues on relevant markets or on the overall economic development. However, if trade relations deteriorate further, this could have a noticeable impact on the financial performance in fiscal year 2025.

For the rest of the year, the Company expects inventory adjustments to gradually come to an end and order volumes to increase successively. However, visibility remains limited, and the economic environment continues to be challenging.

  • -> For fiscal year 2025, Elmos expects sales of 580 million Euro ± 30 million Euro and an EBIT margin of 23% ± 3 percentage points of sales.
  • -> The Company expects capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, less capitalized development expenses, to amount to approximately 7% ± 2 percentage points of sales.
  • -> For fiscal year 2025, Elmos expects a positive adjusted free cash flow of 7% ± 2 percentage points of sales and thus significantly above the level of the prior year (2024: 0.9% of sales).
