1. TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

1.1 FOREWORD BY THE MANAGEMENT BOARD

Dear Shareholders and Business Partners,

In the first half of the 2025 financial year, First Sensor's sales of €52.3 million were once again 12.4 percent below the previous year's level. The decline, which was particularly evident in the second quarter, had been largely anticipated, and recent incoming orders indicate a recovery in the coming months. We therefore confirm our guidance for the full year and continue to expect sales between €110 million and €120 million.

The investment volume is expected to amount to between €5 million and €7 million in the 2025 financial year. After €2.4 million in the first half of the year, we expect the amount to be slightly higher in the second half of the year.

The economic environment remains challenging. International trade is potentially facing massive changes. This could fuel inflation once again and could place an additional burden on supply chains that were already fragile. In addition, there are geopolitical trouble spots for which there appear to be no simple solutions. It is thus all the more important for our company to focus on implementing the strategy, while taking into account the potential impacts: declining demand, rising costs, and supply shortages.

For First Sensor, this means that we will focus on purposefully driving profitable growth. We are optimistic, as we are continuously able to acquire new customers and successfully launch development projects on the market. At the same time, we are working tirelessly on improving productivity. Our employees play a particularly important role in this process. For this reason, we actively promote communication and commitment by valuing and taking into account employee feedback, and by continuously investing in training and professional development.

Naturally, these topics were also the focus of the discussions at this year's Annual General Meeting, which took place on April 24, 2025 as a live event in Berlin. The Management Board and the Supervisory Board reported extensively on the 2024 financial year and answered all questions from shareholders in attendance. Resolutions were adopted on all agenda items by a large majority.

We continue to be delighted by your interest in the development of our company and by your constructive support. As usual, we will keep you informed about the next steps in our journey.

The Management Board

Thibault Kassir Robin Maly Dirk Schäfer

2. CONSOLIDATED INTERIM REPORT

2.1 ECONOMIC REPORT

General economic and sector conditions

Developments in the economy as a whole

The Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW) sees the global economy in a phase of moderate growth, coupled with a significantly heightened level of unpredictability in terms of economic policy. This is due in large part to the actions and announcements of the new US government. On the one hand, these threaten to significantly stifle global trade and disrupt established value chains. On the other hand, they have the potential to destabilize the economy of the United States, and IfW experts are seeing the first signs that the positive momentum in theUS is losing steam.

The US customs and trade policy is also putting a strain on the German economy. However, plans to release the debt brake via a special fund and debt-financed defense spending could provide a significant boost in the next year.

Developments on the sensor market

The members of the German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association (ZVEI) recorded a decline in incoming orders of 9.5% in 2024. At the beginning of 2025, the situation improved slightly. With an increase of 1.7%, incoming orders rose for the first time in six months, driven by foreign demand. Meanwhile, production in the German electrical and digital industry was still 3.7% lower at the beginning of 2025 than in the previous year. A decline of 2% is expected for 2025 as a whole.

The members of the AMA Association for Sensor and Measurement also recorded a decline in sales of 4% in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the previous quarter (Q3 2024). Compared to the same quarter last year (Q4 2023), the decline was even more pronounced at 8%. Incoming orders remained stable quarter-on-quarter in Q4 2024. Despite the current losses, companies are cautiously optimistic about 2025 and expect a 3% increase in sales.

Financial position and financial performance

Sales development

In the first half of the 2025 financial year (October 1, 2024 –March 31, 2025), First Sensor generated sales of €52.3 million (previous year: €59.7 million). This corresponds to a decrease of 12.4% compared to the same period last year. In the first quarter of 2025, sales of €28.6 million were achieved (previous year: €30.3 million). Sales in the second quarter reached €23.7 million (previous year: €29.4 million). Thus, as expected, the decline in sales from the previous financial year has continued for now. For the current financial year, the Management Board expects sales of between €110 million and €120 million.

The regional sales breakdown shows a pronounced decline in sales in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein). In the first half of the year, €25.5 million was generated in the DACH region in the reporting period, compared to €32.9 million in the same period last year, which corresponds to 48.7% of total revenue. The rest of Europe developed steadily with €11.3 million (previous year: €11.1 million), thus accounting for 21.7% of total sales. The Asian sales market amounted to €11.6 million (previous year: €11.9 million), thus achieving a sales share of 22.1%. Sales in North America increased slightly from €3.8 million to €3.9 million, which corresponds to 7.5% of total sales.

Order situation

The sales decline in the first half of the 2025 financial year is reflected in the order situation. After €18.5 million in new orders were booked in the first quarter, this figure significantly improved in the second quarter with €25.0 million. This brings incoming orders after the first six months of the financial year 2025 to €43.5 million (previous year: €50.0 million).

Orders on hand recovered after the previous quarter and now amount to €52.9 million, compared to €69.9 million in the previous year. The book-tobill ratio reached 0.88 at mid-year (previous year: 0.87) and is therefore in line with the forecast range of sales.

In the first six months of the 2025 financial year, First Sensor's sales fell by 12.4% to €52.3 million (previous year: €59.7million). After the first quarter with sales of €28.6 million, sales in the second quarter reached €23.7 million. This sales development is reflected in the forecast for the full year, which anticipates sales of between €110 million and €120 million.

Inventories of finished goods and work in progress increased by €6.8 million during the first six months of the 2025 financial year, mainly due to customer agreements on safety stocks. The other operating income increased compared to the same period in the previous year (€0.3 million) and amounted to €0.6 million, for gross revenue of €59.1 million (previous year: €62.9 million).

The cost of materials fell by 15.8% to €22.5 million (previous year: €26.8 million), mainly as a result of the decline in sales. The cost of materials ratio in relation to gross revenue decreased to 38.1% (previous year: 42.5%). This results in a gross profit of €37.2 million (previous year: €36.4 million).

Staff costs, on the other hand, increased slightly and amounted to €22.5 million in the reporting period (previous year: €21.5 million). In connection with the decline in sales, the personnel expense ratio deteriorated significantly to 43.1% (previous year: 36.1%). Other operating expenses decreased slightly to €6.0 million (previous year: €6.2 million).

The operating result (EBITDA) changed only slightly compared to the previous year's value, from €8.6 million to €8.7 million. This corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 16.6% (previous year: 14.5%).

Amortization also changed only marginally and amounted to €3.4 million (previous year: €3.5 million), as the most recent investments could not yet be fully capitalized. The operating income (EBIT) amounts to €5.3 million for the first half of 2025 (previous year: €5.1 million). This corresponds to an EBIT margin of 10.1% (previous year: 8.6%).

The financial result after six months amounts to €0.2 million and is thus below the previous year's level (€0.4 million). The pre-tax profit for the first half of 2025 is therefore also €5.5 million (previous year: €5.5 million). In the reporting period, no (deferred) taxes were incurred as a result of the tax group with TE Connectivity; the taxes reported are predominantly provisions for corporate tax on minority interests. The result for the period amounts to €5.3 million (previous year: €5.4 million). This corresponds to earnings per share outstanding, on an undiluted/diluted basis, of €0.51/0.51 (previous year: €0.52/0.52).

Capital structure

As of the March 31, 2025 reporting date, the equity of the First Sensor Group increased slightly to €119.0 million (September 30, 2024: €118.6 million). The equity ratio changed only slightly, amounting to 81.3% compared to 82.9% as of the balance sheet date.

Non-current financial liabilities were further reduced and amounted to €4.0 million (September 30, 2024: €5.2 million). In the area of current liabilities, trade payables increased slightly to €7.3 million (September 30, 2024: €6.9 million). The current financial liabilities increased to €7.6 million from €2.4 million as of the balance sheet date, mainly due to the liabilities from the profit transfer to TE Connectivity. The other current liabilities have decreased by €1.5 million since the balance sheet date, as the provisions for trade payables have significantly decreased.

Cash and cash equivalents and the cash pool receivables have increased by a total of €11.7 million since the reference date of September 30, 2024 and amounted to a total of €34.2 million (reference date: €22.5 million). First Sensor reported a net cash position of €27.0 million at the end of the first half of 2025 (reporting date: €29.6 million), €2.6 million less than on the last balance sheet date. The decrease in net cash since the balance sheet date was primarily due to the payments from the profit transfer to TE Connectivity.

It can also be assumed for the future that First Sensor will be in a position to finance operating business and planned growth from the resources at its disposal and in association with TE Connectivity. First Sensor does not use off-balance sheet financing instruments.

Investments

Cash investments amounted to €2.4 million in the first half of the 2025 financial year (previous year: €3.4 million). More than half of the planned investment volume for the financial year of between €5 million and €7million will not be invested until the second half of the year. The focus of the investments is on expanding capacity and modernization.

Liquidity

The operating cash flow is positive after the first six months of the financial year and amounts to €14.5 million (previous year: -€1.0 million). This is predominantly the result of inventory buildup.

The cash flow from investing activities was below the previous year's level and amounted to €-13.7 million (previous year: €1.7 million). This reflects the decline in cash and cash equivalents as a result of the inventory build-up.

The cash flow from financing activities amounted to €-1.2 million after €-1.5 million in the previous year.

The free cash flow, which is the sum of operating cash flow and cash flow from investing activities, was positive in the reporting period at €0.8 million (previous year: €0.8 million).

Net assets

During the first six months of the 2025 financial year, the total assets rose to €146.4 million (September 30, 2024: €143.0 million).

There was a slight decrease in non-current assets of €2.0 million, as a large part of the investments in property, plant and equipment could not yet be capitalized.

In the area of current assets, inventories increased by €6.5 million to €43.2 million (September 30, 2024: €36.8 million), mainly due to customer agreements on safety stocks or expiring framework contracts with suppliers. Trade receivables decreased in line with sales development by €4.0 million to €11.4 million (previous year: €15.3 million).

The increase in the cash and cash equivalents and the cash pool receivables in the reporting period from €22.5 million by total of €11.7 million to €34.2 million is essentially the result of the loss compensation by TE Connectivity and the counteracting increase in inventories.

The working capital, i.e. the inventory plus trade receivables minus advances and trade payables, increased slightly during the first six months to €47.3 million (September 30, 2024: €45.1 million). Capital employed remained almost unchanged at €102.4 million after €102.0 million as of the last balance sheet date.

Overall statement

The business performance during the first six months of the 2025 financial year was largely influenced by the continued difficulties in the economic environment. Due to the slump in the industrial sector, sales of €52.3 million were once again 12.4% below the same period last year. This corresponds to our expectations, as the Management Board had set the revenue forecast at €110 million to €120 million for the 2025 financial year.

The second key performance indicator, the investment volume, was forecast at €5 million to €7 million for the 2025 financial year. With investments of €2.4 million realized in the first half of the year, some of the planned projects have already been implemented. It is expected that the share for the second half of the year will be even higher and that the target will be achieved.

2.2 FORECAST REPORT AND OPPORTUNITY AND RISK REPORT

Forecast report

General economic and sector conditions

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has drastically lowered its forecast for global growth due to American tariff policies.According to the latest estimate, the global economy will grow only by a historically low 2.8% in 2025. The IMF revised the US growth rate from 2.7% to 1.8%. The eurozone is expected to grow by 0.8%, while growth in Germany is expected to be 0%. According to the IMF's forecast, the growth of global trade will be cut in half from 3.8% to 1.7%.

Initial analyses of the tariffs imposed by the US on nearly all countries of the world suggest that this trade policy is primarily detrimental to the US itself. Price increases of more than 7% and a decline in exports of almost 20% are expected. Due to the countermeasures taken by the affected countries, the price effects may be smaller, but the decline in exports could be even greater.

In their spring reports, the leading German economic research institutes expect the German economy to stagnate in 2025. For the current year, they expect an increase in the gross domestic product of only 0.1% and an increase of 1.3% for 2026. In the short term, the new US tariff policy and the uncertain future of economic policy will put a strain on the economy in Germany. The funds from the additional debt capacity are likely to have an expansionary effect gradually, but they risk crowding out private consumption and private investment.

Development of the sensor market

The members of the German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association (ZVEI) expect a decline in sales of 2% for the full year 2025. Despite the recent losses, the members of the AMA Association for Sensors and Measurement are cautiously optimistic about 2025 and expect a 3% increase in sales. Both assessments do not yet take into account the potential consequences of the tariffs that have recently been announced or imposed by the US government.

Business performance forecast for 2025

Sales

Business performance in the first six months of the 2025 financial year was largely defined by the difficult economic landscape. With a decline of 12.4% to €52.3 million, First Sensor could not remain immune to this environment, and the decline in sales from the previous financial year continued as expected. For the current financial year, the Management Board expects sales of between €110 million and €120 million. Given the improved order situation in the second quarter, a recovery is expected for the second half of the financial year. Therefore, the Management Board has confirmed the revenue forecast of between €110 million to €120 million for the 2025 financial year.

Investments

The second key performance indicator, the investment volume, was forecast at €5 million to €7million for the 2025 financial year. With investments of €2.4 million realized in the first half of the year, part of the planned projects has already been implemented. It is expected that this figure will be slightly higher in the second half of the year and that the target will be achieved.

Financial position

The announced higher customer demand from some framework contracts led to a build-up of inventories, particularly in the area of semi-finished goods. These inventories are to be reduced again over the course of the financial year. Nonetheless, working capital will remain largely stable in the second half of the financial year. The liquidity position provides sufficient flexibility to finance operations and investments, in particular also thanks to the combination with TE Connectivity.

Overall statement

In the first half of the 2025 financial year, First Sensor felt the impact of the economic downturn, and sales remained belowthose of the previous year. Due to the increase in orders received in the second quarter, the Management Board is more optimistic for the second half of the year and continues to expect sales between €110 million and €120 million for the 2025 financial year. The implementation of the planned investments is expected to accelerate in the second half of the year, so that the planned level of €5 million to €7 million should be achieved in the 2025 financial year. However, at present the possible consequences of American trade policy on the global economy cannot be estimated more precisely.

Report on risks and opportunities

The risks and opportunities for the First Sensor Group are explained in detail in its 2024 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to the matters described in this report since it was published.
