I commend the many achievements our team has made, but I want to start by commenting on our primary end market, the automotive industry. Although automotive production and sales remain broadly stable, this industry is undergoing profound changes: new legislation, technology and consumer preferences continue to result in an increasing number of electrified vehicles, with fully electric or hybrid powertrains, and electronic content growth making cars greener, safer and more comfortable. Melexis' global presence and diversified customer base is a real strength in the context of major shifts in automotive manufacturing and supply chain management. Next to the dynamics in the automotive sector, demand for semiconductors started to exceed supply in 2020, leading to an extended period of chip shortages and triggering investment in additional capacity. We finally exited this period of constrained supply during the first quarter of 2024. As the year progressed it became clear that Melexis and other companies throughout the automotive supply chain needed to adjust to slower growth rates. Nevertheless, I am convinced that Melexis has a promising future. Since our inception we have built a leading position in sense and drive technologies which is expected to support continued growth in the next decade. To capture these opportunities we translate our deep knowledge of the automotive sector into innovations for our customers, while extending our knowledge into new markets beyond automotive. We made progress with our strategy to become even more relevant in China. We are pleased to showcase our progress according to the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) for the first time this year. 2024 was also a year in which we implemented our new organizational structure. Capturing growth in attractive markets Notwithstanding the current inventory correction, the automotive sector remains robust with an average of more than 87 million cars produced annually over the past 10 years, and external forecasts indicate a stable level or slight growth in the coming years. Next to the structural increase of demand for electronic content in the automotive sector, we are leveraging existing expertise and gaining new knowledge to launch products for use in robotics, alternative mobility and digital health, which offer strong growth in the mid to long term. I am proud to share that we had a record number of product launches and a high level of design wins in 2024, which reflect our relentless focus on innovation as the core driver of mid to long-term growth. The new products in 2024 covered a wide range of automotive and beyond automotive applications. A notable example and industry first included high-precision position sensing in robotic joints, enabling more affordable and efficient robotic systems. Overall, 20% of our product launches were in beyond automotive applications, twice the current proportion of sales and a leading indicator of future revenue. We expect this trend to continue in the coming years based on dedicated research and development to open up and grow in new markets. In automotive applications, we launched our InduxisⓇ switch, again an industry first. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 4 à Letter to our shareholders à Key figures à Shareholder information This inductive technology shift enables contactless position sensing, which reduces costs, avoids wear found in traditional mechanical solutions, and enhances reliability and safety. In another industry first, we introduced a miniaturized pressure sensor with TriphibianTM technology to handle the growing complexity of thermal management systems. This advance reduces development time and complexity for our customers, while it also streamlines module design and lower manufacturing costs. Our new products are essential steps to secure future growth. In terms of design wins, which is turning product launches into customer orders, 2024 was another solid year, notably with an increased proportion achieved in China. I want to highlight our success across all types of powertrain, while design wins were also captured in interior lighting, steering and braking, all areas where Melexis has established leading positions. We continued implementation of our strategic roadmap in China. Melexis has grown its activities in China for more than 20 years, and in 2024 we concluded an agreement for local semiconductor supply of some of our products which should start to be available in 2026. This should improve lead times which is critical in this fast-growing market, and our customers have given positive feedback on our approach. Sustainability as the foundation of our success At Melexis, we see sustainability as good business and integral to our success. By designing products that make our world cleaner, safer and more comfortable, we contribute to improved outcomes and a more sustainable world. I am appreciative that our sustainability reporting in 2024 is in accordance with the CSRD. This is a major accomplishment, and I want to recognize all the efforts of many colleagues at Melexis to make this happen for the first time. Melexis’ ESG Committee was recently set up to increase support for the Board of Directors. One of the 2024 highlights was to integrate sustainability-related performance metrics into the Executive Management's incentive scheme for the first time. This proposal will be presented at this year’s general meeting of shareholders. One area of focus is our transition plan for climate change. Melexis’ core business supports vehicle electrification which helps to lower emissions. In 2024, we decided to set a more ambitious climate target, in which we commit to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per million sold integrated circuits by 55% by 2030 compared with 2024. I encourage you to learn more about this in our Sustainability report. Turning to people and culture, we implemented a new organizational structure to support more autonomy, faster decision making and an entrepreneurial mindset. Linked to this, many of our team leads completed the first modules of our new leadership training to drive the cultural transformation. We are also maturing in our talent management approach to ensure we have the critical capabilities and skills to support our growth ambitions. Financial performance Our 2024 sales were EUR 932.8 million, a decrease of 3% compared to the previous year due to fourth quarter sales which were impacted by the inventory correction at customers. Magnetic position sensors as well as motor drivers outperformed overall sales in 2024. The gross profit margin was 43% and operating margin was 23.6%. The Board of Directors approved to propose to the annual shareholders’ meeting a total dividend of EUR 3.70 gross per share over the result of 2024, stable compared with 2023 and a 7% gross dividend yield based on the share price at the end of 2024. Looking forward: navigating the short term and preparing the mid to long term We look to the future with confidence. Melexis has successfully navigated through temporary industry slowdowns before and has driven strong growth in the subsequent years. We are carefully managing our cost base and taking actions to structurally improve our competitiveness, while continuing to fund research and development that will underpin our mid and long term ambitions. Talented teams working in our entrepreneurial culture have always been the key to the achievements of Melexis and this will not change. I want to thank all of our stakeholders: employees, customers, suppliers, investors and partners, for being part of our success. We look forward to many more years of bringing innovative sense and drive solutions to propel our customers' success.

We are committed to our strategy of further strengthening our leadership position through innovation and excellence. The global automotive industry has been transformed due to electrification. While a car used to be a robust means of transport with a combustion engine; electric vehicles (EVs) are increasingly transforming into mobility solutions where the hardware supports the software, not vice versa. Our cars are becoming smartphones on wheels. In addition to the electrification trend, there is a wave of vehicle “premiumization” taking place. Here, the electronic features in the high-end segments rapidly cascade down to lower segments, leading to an overall shift up market. Also, the increase in the level of driving autonomy (advanced driver-assistance systems - ADAS) is boosting the migration towards safer and more reliable e-braking and e-steering systems. At Melexis we play a prominent role as an innovator in all these fast-moving areas of automotive technology. We therefore expect a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) in this segment of 10% until 2030. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 22 à Who we are à What we do à What we stand for à Our strategy Beyond automotive There is more to Melexis than the automotive semiconductor market. We are constantly expanding our scope to include new applications, which we refer to as "Beyond automotive". We expect this part of our business to grow on average by 15% annually until 2030 through new product introductions and greater market penetration. "Beyond automotive" consists of four domains: • Sustainable world. Here we primarily target smart technologies that can make motor applications more energy-efficient in a clean-energy era. • Alternative mobility. We see a lot of opportunities in alternative mobility, such as e-bikes, e-scooters, drones and e-VTOLs (vertical take-off and landing). We approach this market in the broadest sense. • Robotics. Robots have been around for a long time but are becoming increasingly common in industrial applications such as collaborative robots (cobots), service robots, cleaning robots and delivery robots. This market is growing fast, especially due to tighter jobs markets. Humanoid robots are still in their infancy. Our sensors will add incredible value as these markets grow. • Digital health. Healthcare also offers a wide range of opportunities for Melexis as people live longer, the global population grows, and the demand for new, automated solutions increases. We are currently researching the development of sensors that can, among other things, constantly monitor the physical condition of a patient or help make a diagnosis. This is how we continue to lead We are a global player and we leverage our technological edge. We graft our technology onto other problems. For example, we apply the existing magnet technology from our sensors into new solutions for robotics. We innovate, while sticking to our core strengths. Rarely do we start from scratch.

Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 23 à Who we are à What we do à What we stand for à Our strategy Automotive The automotive industry will remain our core area of expertise for years to come. We currently focus on five specializations, all of which offer Melexis significant market growth potential. EV powertrain The shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) relies on a core component: the inverter. This critical unit bridges the gap between the battery's power (DC - direct current) and the electric motor's propulsion (AC - alternate current), directly impacting performance, driving experience and range of EVs. Seamless operation of these systems hinges on diligent monitoring and precise control, all of which are supported by various Melexis products. AC phase current monitoring Ensuring optimal current flow through each phase is crucial for maximizing power delivery and minimizing energy losses. Advanced monitoring systems track phase imbalances and potential over- currents, safeguarding against component damage and ensuring smooth motor operation. Rotor position sensing Efficient energy conversion relies on precisely measuring rotor positions. Magnetic or inductive resolvers provide real-time data on rotor movement, enabling the inverter to continuously adjust the provided power in real time through the power module, optimizing efficiency and minimizing torque ripple ensuring a smooth ride. Power module temperature monitoring Heat is the enemy of electronics. Proactive monitoring of power module temperatures ensures they operate within safe limits, preventing thermal overload and potential damage. This extends the lifespan of the inverter and contributes to overall system reliability. Safety cover open/close detection This may seem a simple task, yet it is a critical safety feature. This sensor detects the open or closed state of the inverter's safety cover, preventing accidental operation and potential hazards. This ensures both personnel and vehicle safety during maintenance or service. EV battery The EV revolution depends on another critical part: the high- voltage battery. This component is valuable due to both its high cost and its importance to vehicle operation. It is the powerhouse that stores the electrical energy that propels the vehicle. Optimizing the battery's performance can change the game as this dictates the range and performance of the vehicle. Unlike a conventional fuel tank, the high-voltage battery requires sophisticated management to ensure its safety, longevity, and optimal power delivery. This is performed by the battery management system (BMS), a complex network of sensors and algorithms working continuously to safeguard this vital component by computing the battery's "state-of-x", of which there are many: state-of-charge, state-of-health, state-of-power, state-of-safety, and more. Melexis solutions are key to the sensing network of the EV battery ecosystem. Current monitoring Precisely measuring current flow ensures efficient energy utilization and prevents over-current situations that could damage the battery, especially during fast charging. Impedance sensing Continuously measuring impedance (DC and AC) strongly contributes to the state-of-x algorithm and helps identify potential issues, such as internal cell degradation or aging, before they impact performance or safety. Temperature monitoring Maintaining optimal temperature (within a specific range) during driving and charging is crucial for battery health and longevity. The BMS continuously monitors the battery temperature and drives the thermal management system accordingly. Pressure monitoring Continuously monitoring internal pressure ensures safe operation and prevents leaks or ruptures that could compromise performance. Both the temperature and the pressure monitoring are able to detect signs of, and prevent, "thermal runaway". This is an overheating scenario which can potentially cause a spectacular but catastrophic fire of the battery and eventually the vehicle. EV thermal management The electrification journey demands innovation well beyond simply replacing the internal combustion engine (ICE) with an electric motor and the fuel tank with a battery. Unlike their fossil-fuels-powered counterparts, EVs lack the inherent heat generated by the combustion engine. Achieving an optimal all-electric range (AER), while maintaining driver comfort, presents a unique challenge which hinges on a perfect thermal management system. This system plays a pivotal role in ensuring the ideal battery temperature (driving and charging modes), which lies in the 20°-40°C window, to preserve battery health, ensure peak performance, and extend lifespan. The same system, based on a heat pump, also optimizes energy consumption for cabin heating and cooling. Our Melexis sensors and motor drivers enable the advanced monitoring and control technologies for EV thermal management systems. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 24 à Who we are à What we do à What we stand for à Our strategy Pressure monitoring Precisely tracking refrigerant pressure across the vehicle system ensures optimal efficiency and prevents potential leaks. Utilizing our patented technology Triphibian™ pressure sensors enables highly accurate and reliable refrigerant pressure measurements, crucial for efficient EV system operation. Temperature monitoring Real-time temperature monitoring of both the battery (driving and charging modes) and the cabin allows for targeted adjustments to maximize comfort while minimizing energy burn. Current consumption monitoring Continuously monitoring the current draw of the E-compressor enables fine-tuning of the system heat-pump operation which reduces its energy consumption. Fast charge current monitoring Accurately measuring current during fast DC charging is crucial to ensure safe and efficient battery charging, during which the thermal management system plays an important role. Valve and pump positioning and controlling Dynamically adjusting the position and operation of valves and pumps allows for the precise control of refrigerant flow, optimizing system performance. The Melexis motor drivers product family contributes to the success of these smart mechatronics EV components. E-steering and e-braking The path towards vehicles with higher levels of autonomy (such as level L2+ and beyond for ADAS) is paved with countless applications for advanced sensors. Thanks to high-end sensors, vehicle braking technology is progressing from traditional hydraulic and electro-hydraulic systems to revolutionary full-electric "brake-by-wire" architecture. These systems require the highest levels of sensor integrity for operational availability and functional safety. The same criteria also apply for the electric steering systems of the future which will ultimately run without a mechanical steering column and are known as "steer-by-wire". Melexis sensor ICs are supporting this acceleration in innovation and are already integrated into some of the most advanced e- steering and e-braking systems. Steering wheel position and torque sensing These sensors translate the driver's intent into precise steering commands, ensuring smooth and responsive vehicle control when the driver is expected to be in charge of the vehicle. Brake pedal position sensing Although this pedal is less used on EVs due to regenerative braking slowing the vehicle down while recharging the battery, precise pedal position detection remains critical to report the driver's command and to engage the braking system, guaranteeing passenger safety and comfort. Steering rack position sensing Real-time feedback on the steering rack's position allows for accurate trajectory control, a crucial element for safe and stable autonomous driving (L2+ and beyond). Braking caliper position and force sensing Monitoring caliper position and applied force ensures controlled and efficient e-braking. Rotor positioning for electric motors The electric actuation for e-steering and e-braking relies on electric motors. Accurate rotor position sensing allows for optimal motor control, plus safe and efficient steering and braking systems. Park lock motor positioning and controlling Precise park lock motor control ensures secure parking engagement and prevents accidental rolling, a vital safety feature for EVs. Lighting The pursuit of premium experiences in automobiles extends far beyond horsepower, comfort features and materials. In recent years, lighting has emerged as a powerful tool for differentiation, elevating the driving experience and shaping brand identity like never before. From the inside out, light is transforming the way occupants perceive and interact with the vehicle; and Melexis keeps leading the interior lighting segment with existing LED (light-emitting diode) drivers and innovation initiatives.

From our inception in 1989, these values are part of our DNA, driving our decisions and shaping our actions. While reporting standards and terminology may evolve, our core principles and our proactive approach have been consistent. We believe in transparency and accountability. Our approach is science-based and evidence-driven. We leverage independent data sources, such as Our World in Data, to inform our understanding and build our own robust data sets. We are firmly against greenwashing and believe in tangible action and continuous improvement over mere rhetoric. Our values are not just words; they are the foundation of our operations. The following examples demonstrate our commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG). We champion inclusion, promoting equitable treatment and equal opportunity. This commitment is deeply ingrained in our history, exemplified by our 50-50 gender balance in the Board of Directors long before quotas were even considered. We respect the environment, constantly striving to minimize our impact. And we conduct our business ethically, a principle that has guided us since day one. Our business model itself embodies these values. Our focus on miniaturization and integration enables our customers to create systems with fewer components, less material usage, and a smaller footprint. This translates directly into reduced resource depletion and a more sustainable approach. Melexis commitment to environmental responsibility extends to our own infrastructure. With each new building, we incorporate lessons learned and strive for greater energy efficiency. Our pioneering heat recovery system in Ieper, implemented 15 years ago, demonstrates our early commitment to sustainability. We recognize the urgent challenge of climate change. While we are actively working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we also focus on climate change adaptation. We believe our products, by making technologies like heat pumps and air conditioning more accessible and efficient, can directly improve people's lives and mitigate the hardships of a changing climate. This has the added benefit of indirectly contributing to GHG emission reduction. We also understand that while CO2 reduction is critical, addressing other emissions is equally important for the health of our planet and its inhabitants. We are committed to a holistic approach to environmental stewardship. The current EU Taxonomy framework leaves room for interpretation, an issue that has been addressed to the European Commission by semiconductor industry associations. Because of the regulatory complexity, we take a prudent approach by reporting non- alignment for the time being. However, there is no doubt that the semiconductor industry is pivotal in driving the transformation of the automotive sector towards sustainable mobility solutions, encompassing low-carbon emissions, autonomous driving capabilities, and electric vehicle technologies. We are actively contributing to innovative technologies and are committed to further action, details of which will be shared in this Sustainability report.

Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 30 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Specific circumstances BP2 In this 2024 Sustainability report, structured in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) guidelines, Melexis details topic by topic how specific circumstances could have affected our sustainability efforts. By providing this information throughout the document, we offer an insightful picture of our progress and challenges. As a general rule, all existing policies and targets for each material ESG subtopic are disclosed within the respective topical sections of our Sustainability report. Time horizons Melexis aligns its reporting time horizons according to the official ESRS definitions to ensure sustainability strategy balances immediate action with long-term vision. We address sustainability on three horizons: • Short-term (<1 year): refers to immediate challenges considering the same time horizon as the reporting period in the financial statements (i.e. January 2024 to December 2024). • Medium-term (1-5 years): focuses on current priorities, responding to market demands and evolving regulations. This ensures we are addressing the most pressing sustainability issues. • Long-term (>5 years): looks to the future, aligning our sustainability efforts with our broader objectives for environmental and societal impact. This helps us to contribute to a more sustainable world tomorrow. This approach allows us to be both responsive and proactive in our sustainability journey. Value chain estimations and metrics To analyze our environmental impact, Melexis tracks key metrics such as our carbon footprint. We use industry averages and information from our suppliers to measure the impact of our entire value chain (upstream and downstream). Our Scope 3 GHG emissions are assessed and detailed under section E1-6. In 2024, for the second year running, we used the Greenhouse Gas Protocol methodology for our Scope 3 calculation, using a combination of supplier data and spend-based approach. In future, we plan to continue working with our suppliers to gather more data. This will help us better understand our environmental impact and track our progress toward our sustainability goals. Sources of estimation, outcome uncertainty and forward-looking information Our report includes some unavoidable uncertainties, especially concerning future projections, such as production and sales volumes, and associated consumption of utilities and financial results. Another key uncertainty is the impact and change of ESG performance of the value chain outside of our own operations. These are influenced by factors beyond our control, such as economic and geopolitical shifts, new regulations, technological developments and the availability of data that we do not manage or collect ourselves. Despite these challenges, we always ensure we make reasonable assumptions, such as stable market conditions and consistent consumer demand, along with the best available environmental data. Assumptions, approximations and judgements have been prepared and reviewed among different forums by subject matter experts. When estimations have been used or in case there are outcome uncertainties related to the metrics disclosed in the Sustainability report, this is specified with the respective metrics within each topical chapter. This allows us to present a report that adequately reflects our current performance and future goals. In reporting forward-looking information in accordance with the ESRS, Melexis management is required to prepare the forward-looking information based on disclosed assumptions about events that may occur in the future and possible future actions by the company. The actual outcome is likely to be different since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected. Forward-looking information relates to events and actions that have not yet occurred and may never occur. Melexis is committed to adapting to changes due to evolving market conditions and environmental factors and continuing our progress towards our sustainability goals. Changes in preparation and material prior period errors Following the publication of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), Melexis has updated its sustainability reporting and performed a full Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) for the first time. This means the format and structure of this year's report are different and cannot be compared to previous years. Hence reporting on material errors versus past year(s) will start from 2025.

These sustainability-related objectives will be reviewed, updated and approved annually by the Board of Directors, with support of the ESG Committee. This will ensure alignment with Melexis strategic objectives and our sustainability strategy and will reflect changing priorities and global trends. Over the reporting year, depending on the role of each Executive Management member, individual objectives were already linked to one or more qualitative sustainability-related objectives, such as leading and/or sponsoring projects on the following topics: CO2 emission reduction, diversity, equity and inclusion, employee engagement and development, and sustainable growth. The proportion of variable remuneration dependent on sustainability-related targets and/or impacts varied by individual, depending on their role, their direct impact on specific ESG topics and the overall composition of their variable remuneration plan. On average, 10% of their individual/team performance measured through achievement of pre-established targets was linked to ESG. Statement on due diligence GOV-4 Melexis is committed to sustainable and responsible business practices, supported by a due diligence process that prioritizes ethical behavior and positive environmental and societal impact. Main aspects and steps of due diligence Melexis sustainability due diligence process is essential for assessing the material impacts, risks, and opportunities associated with our business operations. It goes beyond our own operations to include our direct suppliers and main customers. This ongoing process allows us to: • prioritize actions based on the severity and likelihood of the identified impacts • adapt to new sustainability challenges and opportunities, influencing our business strategy, operations, and relationships with partners and suppliers Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 35 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Mapping of information on due diligence process The core elements of our due diligence process are detailed in the table below.

We are committed to transparency and accountability, and these processes help ensure our reported information is adequate and reliable. Scope, main features, and components Our risk management and internal control processes cover all aspects of sustainability reporting, including environmental, social, and governance factors. The main features are risk identification, risk assessment, risk mitigation, and internal controls, which are set up through a collaborative effort involving the ESG Committee, ESG Team and Internal Audit function. Risk assessment approach We assess risks using a combination of data analysis, expert input, and stakeholder feedback. This approach gives us a comprehensive understanding of potential risks and their possible impacts. To evaluate each risk, we use both quantitative and qualitative methods to determine how likely it is to occur and how significant the impact would be. This allows us to prioritize risks based on their potential impact and likelihood, using a well-defined risk matrix. Main risks identified and mitigation strategies We have identified several key risk categories, including environmental risks such as climate change, social risks encompassing a potentially higher turnover and difficulties to attract talents, and governance risks involving regulatory compliance and data privacy. To address these risks, we have devised a series of mitigation strategies that include carbon footprint reduction, a clear focus on offering attractive and respectful working conditions, and compliance training. These measures are aimed at not only mitigating the identified risks but also fostering a culture of sustainability within our organization. Integration of findings into internal functions At Melexis, we are committed to integrate risk assessment findings and internal controls into our internal functions and processes. Among others, this means developing policies that address identified risks, incorporating risk insights into our strategies and plans, or incorporating risk management findings into our strategic discussions. In general, this helps to guide informed decision-making at various organizational levels. Additionally, in our operations, we undertake improvements based on the findings, enhancing efficiency and sustainability across our activities. Periodic reporting to Board of Directors and Executive Management To maintain transparency and accountability within our company, we ensure the periodic reporting of our findings to the Board of Directors and Executive Management. This involves regular reports over the year, at least one per quarter, that highlight the progress and effectiveness of our risk management and internal control processes. So far, our internal audit department is aware of our findings via regular interactions with our Sustainability Director, whereas for the future, CSRD reporting will be considered as a separate matter in the internal audit plan.

Stakeholder engagement strategy Melexis takes nothing for granted, be it our people, our partners, our customers, the planet or its resources. An open dialogue with various yet equally important stakeholders is essential in order to continuously improve overall sustainability. Stakeholder engagement Melexis stakeholders are all the people who we influence and who influence us. Our key stakeholders, include our customers, suppliers, employees, investors and communities. The following table lists our stakeholders, their respective concerns and interests, and the different communication channels we use to engage with them. Working closely with our stakeholders is crucial for achieving success and making a positive impact. Our stakeholders deserve the utmost integrity, honesty and fairness in all their interactions with our company and we ensure we adequately engage their expectations and interests. By communicating with our stakeholders through a wide range of channels, Melexis works hard to stay in touch. This helps maintain their longstanding trust in our company and ensure our continuous day-to- day operational management. Some concrete examples of Melexis stakeholder interaction: we engage with our stakeholders during regular meetings with customers where they can voice concerns and suggestions (including at CEO level); we have continual dialogues during our on-going collaboration with suppliers; and we liaise with our investors during our Capital Markets Day event.

Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 42 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Our environmental stakeholder engagement Melexis is dedicated to considering the needs and expectations of all parties interested in our overarching environmental strategy and performance. We involve and enter into dialogue with all our stakeholders. These include: • Our customers: close communication loops with our customers help us identify new development opportunities for environmentally-friendly products. Melexis is accountable for supporting customers and supplying them with products of the highest quality only, in order to meet customer requirements in a manner that is consistent with environmental standards. • Our colleagues: they are involved in environmental sustainability projects and continuous improvement activities. Their input is taken into account in management reviews as well as continuous improvement plans. • Our investors: Melexis strives to ensure minimizing risks while maximizing returns to guarantee a good relationship with our investors. • Our suppliers and subcontractors: they are a crucial element of our environmental program. We require them to act environmentally responsibly and have their own environmental policy, system and continuous improvement planning in place. Melexis requests environmental information records on all materials supplied to us, all within a defined time frame. An ISO 14001 certification is requested in case of supplier selection. • Society: we recognize that we have a responsibility towards the local communities and surrounding environment where we operate and hence take their needs and requirements into account in terms of strategies and objectives. • Legal authorities: legal requirements enforced through laws and regulations by the relevant local legal authorities are recorded by each national organization.These are communicated to the relevant local sites on a regular basis by our environmental coordinator. Compliance with local, national and supranational legislation that is relevant for our customers is also taken into account and given as much attention as our customer-specific requests. • Our management: our management has a clear view on sustainability based on genuine concern for the environment. We engage with our stakeholders for many reasons: • To learn from them: we gather valuable insights and feedback. • To work together: we build strong partnerships and collaborations. • To improve: we identify areas where we can innovate and do better. But we do not just listen – we take action. Stakeholder feedback is taken into account and directly influences our business decisions, including: • how we develop and improve our products and services. • how we work with communities. • how we create policies and strategies. Understanding stakeholder interests and views During our materiality assessment process, Melexis teams invested time and effort in understanding our key stakeholders' perspectives. We analyzed how their needs and expectations connect with our current and future business strategy and operations. This deep knowledge shapes our sustainability initiatives, ensuring they align with what our stakeholders and society at large expect from us. Amendments to strategy and/or business model We regularly integrate the insights gathered from our stakeholders to update our strategy and business model. This includes developing new products based on customer feedback and strengthening supplier sustainability standards. These steps go beyond simply addressing our stakeholders' needs. We believe they fundamentally strengthen our relationships and build greater trust and collaboration. Informing the Board of Directors and Executive Management Melexis has a robust system for keeping our leadership informed about how our actions affect our stakeholders. We regularly share reports and updates with our management and supervisory teams. This helps them make sound decisions and strategies that align with our sustainability goals. In particular, our Board of Directors and Executive Management were fully engaged during our Double Materiality Assessment. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 43 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model SBM-3 Melexis has conducted thorough analysis to identify key impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs). This section explains how these factors connect to our business activities and outlines the strategies we have developed to address them effectively. Material IROs assessment We have identified several material impacts which significantly influence Melexis operations. These risks and opportunities are predominantly mid- and long-term and concentrated in our own processes and in joint efforts with our upstream value chain. Our main IROs are summarized in the table below, which also provides detailed related information on the reasonably expected time horizons, and on Melexis involvement either through our own operations or due to business relationships (upstream and/or downstream). All material risks and opportunities resulting from this assessment are taken into account by Melexis management while reviewing the company's strategy and priorities. Response and adaptation strategy After performing the materiality assessment, Melexis compiled a comprehensive list of material impacts, risks, and opportunities that affect the company’s business model, value chain, strategy, and decision-making processes. These insights are integrated into our corporate strategy, as evidenced by our focus on carbon reduction, sustainable product development, and responsible leadership. To address environmental impact, we initiated programs to reduce carbon footprint and improve waste management. To manage regulatory risks, we maintained strict compliance with relevant laws and regulations. To capitalize on emerging opportunities, we continued to invest in electrification technologies and explored new market segments to drive sustainable growth. Material impacts analysis Identified material impacts can affect people and/or the environment. Melexis direct impact on the environment coming from our own operations is quite limited and the largest proportion of our emissions relates to Scope 3. Melexis has a role to play in the monitoring of aspects related to suppliers selection and purchasing and also in developing more processes and products that can contribute to ours and others's reduced carbon footprint. As for impacts related to people, our Double Materiality Assessment shows that, for Melexis, one of our most important material influences is upon our own workforce. In order to be an attractive employer, we embrace the equal treatment of all employees, relying on a strong corporate culture and on sustainable business conduct. These impacts are intricately connected to our business strategy and model, which are aligned to resonate with sustainability goals, environmental and societal standards. Financial effects and strategy We refer to the financial disclosures in E1-3 for the financial impact of CapEx and OpEx related costs linked to sustainable technologies. The Melexis financial landscape is characterized by both risks and opportunities. Fluctuating market demands pose a risk to stability, while the potential for expansion into new markets offers promising prospects for growth. We refer to section AK. Risk Factors of this annual report for more details on the risk factors affecting Melexis. If any of these risks were to occur, the company's business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Our financial strategy is robust, featuring well-structured investment plans that blend capital expenditure in sustainable technologies with initiatives focused on business transformation and innovation. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 44 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Resilience analysis Melexis strategy and business model demonstrate resilience in addressing material impacts, risks, and opportunities through the following: • Adaptability: we actively monitor and respond to emerging trends and challenges, adjusting our strategic direction as needed. This includes incorporating sustainability considerations into our decision-making processes. • Diversification: our operations and revenue streams are diversified across several markets and product lines, reducing reliance on any single factor and mitigating potential risks. • Innovation: we foster a culture of innovation, continuously seeking new solutions and technologies to improve efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and meet evolving customer needs. • Stakeholder engagement: we actively engage with our stakeholders, including employees, customers and suppliers to understand their concerns and expectations, ensuring our strategy aligns with broader societal goals. The time horizons applied in the qualitative analysis of our resilience are consistent with those defined in ESRS 2-BP2 and used for our IRO assessment: short-term being less than one year, medium-term between 1 and 5 years and long-term more than 5 years. Our company is committed to maintaining a resilient strategy and an agile business model that can adapt to changing circumstances and contribute to a sustainable future. Changes from previous reporting period Compared with financial year 2023, Melexis has increased its focus on ESG topics. We have expanded our sustainability initiatives and stakeholder engagement and completed our most-extensive-ever exercise to analyze our impacts, risks, and opportunities and completed a Double Materiality Assessment. Specification of disclosures Melexis listed and prioritized the main Impact Risk and Opportunities (IROs) related to the various topics identified in the ESRS guidance. All identified IROs are linked to ESRS Disclosures Requirements as, after discussion, no material entity-specific topics were retained in our sustainability reporting.

The outcome of the Double Materiality Assessment will be regularly reviewed and validated to ensure we continue to meet the changing needs of our stakeholders and adapt to the evolving business environment. This assessment helped us to prioritize our sustainability initiatives and ensure they align with the needs and expectations of our stakeholders. The materiality assessment process Melexis uses publicly available information and internal experts to assess potential impacts, risks, and opportunities across its operations. For instance, risk factors such as environmental impact are evaluated using industry-specific metrics, while assumptions on future regulatory changes are modelled based on recent legislative trends. We considered both our own operations and the broader value chain inside and outside EU, also taking into account sectors and regions with higher environmental vulnerability and lower labor standards. Our materiality framework Our informal due diligence process was used to identify, assess, prioritize and monitor potential and actual impacts on people and the environment. With the support of external experts, we created a customized framework based on CSRD double materiality guidelines, identifying areas in which our company’s operations or business relationships may cause, contribute to, or be linked directly to material impacts, risks or opportunities. We discussed both the direct and indirect impacts on people and the environment, arising from our own operations and those resulting from our business relationships. These were the main steps of our process to identify our key sustainability priorities: 1) Understand the context: identify the main global activities and business relationships of Melexis both for our own operations as for our upstream/downstream value chain. To complete this holistic exercise, we also gathered information on peers and competitors and main actors in our value chain. 2) Identify potential topics: we started by listing relevant sustainability issues using topics of ESRS 1 AR 16 and taking into account industry benchmarks, standards, and global trends. We then identified impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs) for each topic, based on potential or actual material sustainability matters. We looked at our double materiality meaning both impact materiality, i.e. the impact of our organization on planet and society (outward perspective); and financial materiality, i.e. external risks and opportunities that affect our organization (inward perspective). For each topic, we also assessed whether an impact was identified, and evaluated the associated risks or opportunities that could result from dependencies. 3) Identify affected stakeholders and engage with them: to ensure a thorough understanding of our IROs, we surveyed internal and external stakeholders and conducted interviews with internal subject matter experts. More details on the purpose and outcome of our stakeholder engagement can be found in the table below. 4) Prioritize topics: based on the data gathered, we scored each IRO, and hence each topic, based on its importance to stakeholders and potential impacts on our business. Each material impact was assessed as positive/negative and actual/potential. We also selected the relevant time horizon and value chain mapping and scored the related scale, scope, irremediability, severity and likelihood. We also mapped the value chain and time horizon for each risk and opportunity, together with the associated magnitude and likelihood. 5) Categorize for action: we organized the topics into a matrix and selected a threshold determining material and non-material topics. The information disclosed for the material topics follows the ESRS requirements. This process ensures alignment with both regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations, highlighting the most relevant sustainability information in the company’s reporting.

We also discussed potential physical and transition risks and opportunities concerning biodiversity and could not identify broader systemic risks. According to Key Biodiversity Areas analysis, no Melexis production sites are located in or near biodiversity-sensitive areas. We have assessed that adopting biodiversity mitigation measures was not a primary focus considering our industry sector and locations. In conclusion, no material impacts, risks and opportunities were identified. Non-material topics Based on the matrix summarizing the results of our Double Materiality Assessment, the topics of Water Pollution (E2), Soil Pollution (E2), Biodiversity (E4) and Affected Communities (S3) were found to fall below the threshold for both impact materiality and financial materiality. No significant impacts, risks, or opportunities related to these topics were identified. As a result, these ESRS topics will not be covered in our Sustainability report. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 50 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Processes to identify and assess material IROs IRO-1 Decision-making process and internal controls on sustainability reporting The ESG core team, together with subject matter experts and external consultants, carried out the Double Materiality Assessment. The data gathering and decision-making process was a team effort, with input from many departments within our organization. The results of the assessment were presented to the Executive Management for review and approved by the Board of Directors. Internal controls specific to the reporting stage included a detailed review of both qualitative and quantitative information by the Senior Financial Analyst, once the relevant information had been provided by the responsible subject matter experts. A general review of the report was then carried out by our Sustainability Director and other senior managers. These procedures promote accountability and transparency across the organization. Risk assessment and integration into overall management process Sustainability-related risks, such as compliance risks, are integrated into Melexis risk assessment review. There is no formal prioritization process in place as risks are not categorized under sustainability or other categories, each risk is reviewed based on its potential impact and likelihood. Our risk assessment process does not involve any risk management tools. Our Executive Management discusses risks and strategies during weekly touchpoints and during monthly in-depth meetings. This enables the company to manage and address high-impact sustainability risks without compromising other areas. The impacts, risks and opportunities identification process is carried out by the ESG Team, which then informs Executive Management of the material risks. The Executive Management then integrates them in their assessment and evaluates the overall risk profile and risk management processes. Similarly, the opportunities identified by the ESG Team are discussed with the subject matter experts and the department leads, which is the starting point for integration into the company management. This drives us to identify and act on opportunities that align with our sustainability goals and are consistent with our culture of innovation. ESRS Disclosure Requirements in scope IRO-2 Melexis took a significant step forward this year by aligning with the ESRS disclosure requirements.

During 2024, the Melexis remuneration policy did not quantitatively determine how remuneration could become dependent on measuring performance against sustainability-related metrics, such as reduction targets, as outlined under Disclosure requirement E1-4. Transition plan for Climate change mitigation E1-1 Transition plan for Climate change mitigation During 2024, we further refined the Melexis corporate ESG strategy, including prioritizing the ongoing definition of our comprehensive transition plan for climate change mitigation. Our goal is to adopt the transition plan by 31 December 2025. The development of the plan will be driven by the dedicated ESG Team in consultation with the ESG Committee and external climate experts, and will be informed by insights from peer companies. We will build the plan on the principles, priorities and insights from our own climate action in scope of the ongoing Environmental policy described below. GHG emission reduction targets In 2024, we updated our climate target. Melexis commits to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions per million sold integrated circuits (ICs) by 55% by 2030 compared with 2024. You can read more about the target in section E1-4. Decarbonization levers and key actions Given that a significant part of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions at Melexis come from energy consumption, our GHG emission reduction strategy revolves around energy efficiency, energy consumption reduction, and transitioning to low- and zero-carbon energy sources. Energy is equally important for climate change action in the value chain, given that it is also the primary source of Melexis Scope 3 GHG emissions. To address this, we are engaging with our upstream value chain. We are also investing in the further expansion of our dedicated sustainable product portfolio, such as Sustainable World and Alternative Mobility products. For more details, please refer to SBM-1. Investments and funding Melexis continues to invest in climate change mitigation projects. In 2024, Melexis spent EUR 36 million in CapEx and EUR 64 million in OpEx for climate change mitigation in scope of the Disclosures Delegated Act, reported in our EU Taxonomy chapter. This includes allocating sufficient resources to support the transition plan's implementation. Locked-in GHG emissions assessment Locked-in GHG emissions are estimates of future GHG emissions that are likely to be caused by a company’s key assets or products sold within their operating lifetime. At Melexis, we recognize that our primary sources of locked-in emissions stem from the energy consumption of the integrated circuits (ICs) we design and the resources used throughout their production lifecycle. We are committed to minimizing these emissions by investing in energy-efficient designs that reduce power consumption throughout the entire lifespan of our chips and ICs. Furthermore, we prioritize energy efficiency in our own probing and testing processes by purchasing energy-efficient equipment and tracking a comprehensive set of internal KPIs. Alignment with global standards Melexis is not excluded from the EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks. The Melexis emissions target is in line with limiting global warming to 1.5°C according to Paris Agreement. Current priority setting of Melexis CapEx and OpEx plans include sustainability and compliance with the EU taxonomy regulation. In order to contribute substantially to climate change action, our economic activity must center on the manufacture of technologies that are aimed at, and demonstrate, substantial lifecycle GHG emission savings compared to the best-performing alternative technology/product/solution available on the market. GHG reduction across the lifecycle could be evaluated based on product lifecycle emissions and applications. The semiconductor industry relies on the use of chemicals. The current wording of the Climate Delegated Act for the EU Taxonomy regarding the aspect of pollution prevention and control has given rise to a number of ongoing issues. A company's economic activity may not lead to the manufacture, placing on the market, or use of certain chemicals in order to be Taxonomy-aligned. The Climate Delegated Act refers to other existing EU legislation that regulates the use of certain chemicals (REACH and RoHS). Melexis complies with these legislative requirements. The semiconductor industry has been Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 56 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report granted multiple exemptions and/or derogations from restrictions on certain substances. However, since these are not acknowledged under the EU Taxonomy framework, there are cases where semiconductor manufacturing companies report very low alignment levels due to their significant reliance on some of these substances. Due to these legal uncertainties regarding the Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) criteria of Pollution prevention and control, and the fact that Melexis is still in an early stage of product lifecycle assessments, we classify our activities as non-aligned with the EU Taxonomy. The alignment of Melexis economic activities with the provisions of the EU Taxonomy is expected to evolve over time to support the transition towards a more sustainable economy. Business strategy and financial planning alignment The development of the Melexis transition plan for climate change mitigation is ongoing in scope of the ESG strategy definition. Our ESG strategy is based on Melexis long-term business strategy. We aim to finalize our ESG strategy in 2025, and ensure it stays aligned with our business strategy and financial planning. Different teams (ESG, Finance, Strategy...) and senior management are collaborating to build realistic projections and define adapted measures, taking into account the financial impact on a local and global level. Approval by Board of Directors and Executive Management Our future transition plan for climate change mitigation will first be reviewed and approved by Executive Management and then, by the ESG Committee. This two-step process guarantees that the plan aligns with both the organization's strategic objectives and its commitments to environmental, social, and governance principles.

Our materiality assessment identified greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as one of our material impacts. These emissions are generated across our value chain, including sourcing, production, transportation, and distribution. As a global company, we face climate-related physical and transition risks. These risks were identified through discussions with internal subject matter experts and an analysis of common risks impacting companies of similar size in our sector, activities and global presence. Our experts conducted research using a variety of sources, including information from industry associations. Different time horizons were considered, using the same short-, medium- and long-term definitions as explained in our IROs identification process. The same scoring criteria were also used to assess the extent to which assets and business activities are exposed to transition events. The main physical risks include disruptions to our value chain caused by acute events such as wildfires, floods, droughts, and storms. A potential consequence of such physical risks could be disruptions in the energy supply. While there is no immediate risk of energy supply disruption, we recognize the potential mid-term implications. To proactively address this, Melexis integrates this risk into internal discussions in order to ensure continuity and resilience in case of energy disruption. The measures discussed are mainly energy source diversification, energy storage and contingency plans. Transition risks, considered at gross level, encompass compliance costs associated with new legislation, as well as legal, technological, market, and reputational challenges. Evolving reporting requirements are an example of transition risks in the mid term. In the long term, we are expecting a transformational shift in industry standards and practices aligned with climate-related public policy goals. We will screen our assets and business activities closely to verify how we will be exposed to these events, together with the likelihood, magnitude, and duration of these events. For the current reporting period, we did not work with specific scenarios as commonly used in a formal climate resilience analysis. Instead, in addition to a general resilience analysis, described in ESRS 2- SMB-3, we used a combination of in-house research and external consultancy. We specifically conducted an analysis of common risks through benchmarking and we are considering performing a structured climate resilience analysis, including at least one high emission climate scenario for our Double Materiality Assessment in the next few years. In 2024, we prioritized starting to evaluate how our assets and business activities could be exposed to climate-related hazards and to quantify potential impact on key activities. We plan to pursue this analysis and link our conclusions to the expected lifetime of our assets, strategic planning horizons and capital allocation plans. According to our current discussions, no assets and business activities have been identified as incompatible with, or requiring significant efforts to be compatible with, a transition to a climate-neutral economy. This still needs to be confirmed by scientific analysis. In addition to identifying impacts and risks, we have also identified opportunities tied to climate change, particularly in developing sustainable products that can support future-proof solutions. Opportunities are emerging from the transition to a low-carbon economy for the growth of new products and the development of carbon-neutral technologies, as well as partnerships fostering sustainability. This aligns with the related growing customer demand and contributes to building a sustainable brand image for our company. Melexis will need to leverage the opportunities while mitigating the risks, thus aligning our business model to a sustainable and resilient future. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 59 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Our policies related to Climate change E1-2 Our Melexis Environmental policy addresses both climate change adaptation and mitigation through maximization of energy efficiency and transition to low- and zero-carbon energy, as well as designing products for sustainable applications. It is supported by the Procurement ESG policy that outlines our efforts to address IROs in the upstream value chain. Environmental policy Our Environmental policy applies to our largest sites: in Sofia, Bulgaria; Ieper and Tessenderlo-Ham, Belgium; Erfurt, Germany; Corbeil, France and Kuching, Malaysia encompassing all our testing and probing sites and our IC design headquarters in Tessenderlo-Ham. The policy also recognizes our broader environmental impact by addressing the potential climate implications of our upstream and downstream value chain. The Quality Director is responsible for implementing this policy, which is accessible to all stakeholders on our website. Aligned with ISO 14001 standards, the policy outlines Melexis environmental context, purpose, mission, vision, and strategic principles. It also establishes targets, a governance model, and priority actions. Our purpose to contribute to sustainability both in product application and production, mitigating adverse environmental impacts across the entire value chain lies at the core of our environmental commitment. This purpose is realized through five key strategic principles, and linked actions and targets, all outlined in the policy: • Sustainable solutions. We develop technologies that help others adapt to climate change (such as solar-panel-enabled air conditioning systems, heat pumps) as well as technologies which contribute to widespread reduction of GHG emissions (such as sensors and drivers for electric vehicles). For more details, please refer to SBM-1. • Prevention is better than cure. We monitor our environmental performance and continuously search for ways to enhance it, for example through monthly data collection, GHG emissions calculation, balanced scorecards, internal and ISO 14001 audits and management reviews. This principle addresses energy-, resource- and water-related impacts on climate change in own operations. • Standards matter. We ensure the validation of our environmental performance by complying with local and global environmental legislation and voluntary certification, such as but not limited to ISO 14001, Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), Conflict minerals requirements based on the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, End- of-life Vehicles (ELV) and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). • Total environmental impact counts. We take actions to minimize the environmental impact throughout the whole value chain, including applying the “first time right” principle within our operations. The Melexis Environmental Management System considers environmental aspects both within and outside our operational control, according to the lifecycle approach. This principle addresses energy-, resource- and water-related impacts on climate change in both upstream and downstream value chains. Our detailed environmental requirements for our suppliers are outlined in the Procurement ESG policy and Supplier Code of Conduct. • Open dialog with all stakeholders. We have a clear environmental governance model that considers all interested parties, including customers, colleagues, Melexis management, investors, suppliers, subcontractors, legal authorities, and society as a whole. Procurement ESG policy The Melexis Procurement ESG policy integrates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles throughout the entire procurement process. This policy applies globally to all Melexis entities and employees making purchases for the company. It covers all Bill of Materials (BOM) expenses and specific indirect spending categories (logistics, packaging, utilities) but excludes intercompany purchases, personal expenses, and taxes. The Procurement Director owns, and is responsible for, implementing, communicating, and training on the policy to ensure overall compliance. While there are no specific third-party standards, the policy prioritizes transparency, risk management, and a proactive approach to ESG value creation for internal departments, suppliers, and the broader value chain. Stakeholders can request a copy of the policy via [email protected]. This policy outlines a comprehensive strategy (vision, mission, goals, actions, KPIs, and targets) for sustainable procurement and is subject to review and update in 2025. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 60 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Supplier Code of Conduct The Melexis Supplier Code of Conduct outlines sustainability requirements, workplace commitments, business conduct expectations, and information disclosure standards aligned with our guiding principles. This code is a mandatory part of all business contracts and serves as a prerequisite for becoming a Melexis supplier. All suppliers, contractors, and subcontractors must comply with all applicable laws and regulations, notifying Melexis of any conflicts with the code. Melexis requirements may exceed legal mandates, and violations can lead to a review of the business relationship. Suppliers are required to maintain documentation demonstrating compliance, and authorize audits by Melexis or its representatives. The code reflects Melexis commitment to stakeholders – employees, customers, investors, and the community – by emphasizing fair business practices, respect for human rights, and environmental responsibility for a positive societal and environmental impact. Topics addressed by the Supplier Code of Conduct, are GHG emissions, waste, air pollution and hazardous substances, resource use and circular economy, water, and energy, including low- and zero-carbon energy deployment. The Procurement Director is accountable for the code's implementation, updates, communication, training, and overall compliance. The Supplier Code of Conduct adheres to the UN Global Compact principles. Actions and resources in relation to Climate change policies E1-3 Our climate action is set out in the environmental program described in our Environmental policy in E1-2. Here we set out key actions taken in 2024 and our intentions for the upcoming years. The scope for our key actions covers the six biggest Melexis sites that together account for more than 95% of our total consumed energy. Decarbonization levers & key actions Energy efficiency and consumption reduction We prioritize reducing energy consumption and maximizing energy efficiency across our operations. Analysis of our energy use has highlighted key areas for improvement. First, we continuously strive to maximize yield by minimizing wafer and integrated circuit (IC) failures during testing. This requires close collaboration with our wafer and IC assembly suppliers. Higher yields mean less waste, improving the efficient use of resources such as raw materials and electricity. Second, we constantly optimize our probing and testing processes for maximum accuracy with minimal resources. Using artificial intelligence (AI), we analyze test data to identify opportunities to reduce the number or duration of tests without compromising accuracy, directly lowering electricity consumption. Third, we continue investing in energy-efficient facilities, incorporating lessons learned from each building purchase or renovation. In July 2024, we opened our largest global wafer testing site in Kuching, Malaysia. This EUR 40 million investment features environmentally conscious design and advanced energy-saving technologies, such as maximizing natural light, motion-sensor lighting, and double-insulated exteriors. In 2024, we renovated our new office location in Sophia Antipolis, France, with a focus on climate-risk-resilience and reduced energy consumption through improved thermal performance and innovative solutions such as a thermal ceiling. We also seek ways to improve the energy efficiency of our existing facilities. In 2024, we invested approximately EUR 1 million in our facilities in Erfurt, Germany for improved insulation, increasing the building's energy performance. Furthermore, our largest testing and probing site, Melexis Sofia in Bulgaria, was upgraded with heat recovery systems on its compressors. These retrofits are projected to reduce annual gas consumption by 400 MWh, and thus Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions by 80 tons.

We are looking into opportunities to generate more renewable energy at our sites. For example, in 2024, we investigated the plan to install solar panels in our IC design headquarters in Tessenderlo-Ham during 2025. Supplier engagement In 2023, we kicked off a supplier ESG program. We engaged with our key suppliers to ensure mutual agreements around the Melexis Supplier Code of Conduct, as well as data collection through a supplier ESG questionnaire developed by us. We are also working on streamlining our supply chain data collection efforts with the use of dedicated software. For more information, please refer to a detailed description of our Supplier Code of Conduct in the policies section of E1-2. Financial disclosures All eligible operational and capital expenditures, not directly linked to our listed key actions but eligible for climate change under Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178, are outlined in our separate EU Taxonomy chapter. This includes, for example, non-R&D maintenance costs inherently linked to key climate actions. Where clearly identifiable, operational and capital expenditures related to our climate actions are detailed within the respective action paragraphs previously stated. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 62 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Targets related to Climate change mitigation and adaptation E1-4 In 2024, Melexis updated its climate target, increasing our ambition and aligning our target with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Our new target does not yet address climate change adaptation, although Melexis products do contribute to a transition to a more sustainable world, as outlined in SBM-1 section of this report. The current target covers Scope 1 and 2, and we are considering introducing a Scope 3 target in future. We are already calculating total Scope 3 GHG emissions and are engaging with strategic suppliers to stimulate actions on emission reduction. Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions reduction In this reporting cycle, we announced an updated target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions per million sold ICs by 55% by 2030, with 2024 as the base year. Given that Melexis Scope 1 emissions account for less than 10% of our total Scope 1 and 2 footprint, we have set a combined Scope 1 and 2 target, assuming a 10% increase in production volume year-over-year. The baseline value is 8.8 ton CO2eq per million sold ICs. This combined target equals an expected absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG reduction of 21%. Although not externally validated, our target is set in line with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C scenario and with GHG Protocol, and thus is based on scientific evidence. All Melexis operations, and 100% of market-based Scope 2 emissions are covered by our target. We prioritize actions that will also reduce location-based emissions, such as reduction in energy consumption and own generation of solar energy. The target was established collaboratively between the Board of Directors, the Executive Management and the ESG Team. To track progress, Melexis annually calculates its Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions using the GHG Protocol methodology with the support of an external partner. As explained in E1-3, the key levers in our journey towards GHG emission reduction are improved energy efficiency in testing and probing processes, including improved yield, and transitioning away from fossil fuels in the electricity mix. Energy consumption Although there is no formal energy-related target yet, Melexis is working towards setting such a target in the upcoming reporting cycles. For many years, we have been taking actions to optimize the energy efficiency, as described under E1-3, and we have been tracking their effectiveness through monitoring KPIs. These KPIs cover all six Melexis sites in scope of the Environmental policy. Each metric reported under E1-5, is tracked quarterly based on the primary data, with data integrity check and variance analysis. At each site, there is an employee formally responsible for KPI tracking and analysis. Key KPIs are reviewed quarterly with Site Management Teams. Consistency, comparability and representativeness We maintain consistency, comparability and representativeness in baseline value, base year, inventory boundary, operational boundary, and calculation methodology, only adjusting them when significant changes occur. In which case, we commit to transparently report how this affects the target, its achievement, and progress representation. In 2024, Melexis has been working towards implementing several changes aimed at increased consistency, comparability and representativeness of our carbon accounting and target for future years. In particular, we streamlined the primary data collection process and reached out to suppliers and customers to increase the share of primary data used for the carbon footprint calculation.

Energy consumption and mix 2024 (MWh) Coal and coal products — Crude oil and petroleum products 2,457 Natural gas 2,188 Other fossil sources — Purchased or acquired electricity, heat, steam, and cooling from fossil sources 17,952 Total fossil energy consumption 22,596 Total energy consumption from nuclear sources 15,315 Renewable sources, including biomass — Purchased or acquired electricity, heat, steam, and cooling from renewable sources 7,183 Self-generated non-fuel renewable energy 790 Total renewable energy consumption 7,973 Total energy consumption 45,884 Methodology and assumptions For sites without testing or probing facilities, the total energy consumption by source was estimated based on the historical primary data, electricity mix of the local grid, and the size of the facilities. Most activity data for the period of 1 November 2024 to 31 December 2024 was estimated based on historical data to ensure compliance with reporting and auditing deadlines. Share of energy sources of total energy consumption Energy intensity based on net revenue In 2024, our total energy consumption from activities in high climate impact sectors per net revenue was 49.19 MWh/million EUR. Identification of high climate impact sectors According to the statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community (NACE), Melexis operates within division 26.11 Manufacture of electronic components, which is considered to have a high climate impact. Financial reconciliation As all Melexis activities are considered to have a high climate impact, the net revenue from activities in high climate impact sectors is the same as our revenue reported in our financial statement. 1 Source: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, Revised Edition, GHG Protocol. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 64 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Gross Scopes 1, 2, 3 and total GHG emissions E1-6 We are reporting our Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, the leading internationally recognized standard. We work with an external calculation partner specialized in carbon accounting to ensure reliability and robustness of the calculation. The emissions are reported in tons of CO2-equivalent, or CO2eq, and include not only carbon dioxide, but also CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6. 1 • Scope 1 represents direct GHG emissions that occur from sources that are owned or controlled by the company, for example, emissions from combustion in owned or controlled boilers for heating or fleet. • Scope 2 accounts for indirect GHG emissions from the generation of purchased electricity. • Scope 3 is an optional reporting category, according to the GHG Protocol. It covers other indirect emissions from sources not owned or controlled by the company. Some examples of Scope 3 activities for Melexis are wafer production, and assembly of integrated circuits (ICs). Melexis does not operate in sectors covered by compliant Emissions Trading Schemes (ETS), and is also not involved in voluntary emission trading. We therefore do not have Scope 1 GHG emissions from regulated emissions trading schemes. Melexis also does not utilize contractual instruments for the sale and purchase of energy that would be included under Scope 2. We are proactively expanding our environmental impact assessment. In 2024, this included introducing preliminary calculations for Scope 3 Category 10 (Processing of sold products) and Category 11 (Use of sold products). While we do not yet disclose these categories due to ongoing efforts to improve data availability and reliability, this investment in enhanced measurement will enable us to provide a more complete and robust picture of our impact in the future.

Methodology We adhered to the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard as our reporting methodology. We adopted a conservative approach in the calculations, prioritizing transparency and completeness. The reporting boundary was aligned with that used for financial reporting including all entities in the Melexis Group. All Scope 1, 2 and 3 categories were considered in the GHG emissions inventory. The following categories are identified as not relevant for Melexis: • Scope 1, Processing emissions — the nature of Melexis industrial processes does not allow for processing emissions generation. • Cat. 13: Downstream leased assets — in an exceptional case of equipment being rented out, the emissions are accounted for in other categories. • Cat. 14: Franchises — Melexis does not have any franchises. • Cat. 15: Investments — Melexis does not have any minority shares. For relevant categories, the following assumptions and estimations were made: • Scope 1 and 2: for sites with testing or probing facilities, all calculations are based on the primary data. For other sites, energy consumption is estimated, as described in E1-5. • Most activity data for 1 November 2024 to 31 December 2024 was estimated based on historical data. • Scope 3, cat. 1: Purchased goods and services — average emission factor is applied to estimated m² of wafers purchased, other categories of purchased goods are estimated based on spend. • Scope 3, cat. 2: Capital goods — spend-based data was used. • Scope 3, cat. 4: Upstream transportation and distribution — direct emissions from the biggest transportation providers were extrapolated to cover total spend on transportation. • Scope 3, cat. 9: Downstream transportation — estimated based on weight of sold goods and packaging, and assumptions from the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) Guide. • Scope 3, cat. 12: End-of-life treatment of sold products — calculated based on packaging weight. Emissions factors were sourced from a combination of public and licensed databases, as well as data modelled by our carbon accounting partner. Some key sources of emissions factors are BEIS, IPCC, ADEME, IEA, and Ecoinvent. There were no significant events and changes in circumstances identified between the reporting dates of our value chain and Melexis financial statements. In 2024, approximately 99.5% of our Scope 3 GHG emissions were calculated using primary data, ensuring a high degree of accuracy and reliability in our emissions reporting.

This also covers substances of concern. l l Substances of (very high) concern Negative actual impact Hazardous substances There are some substances of (very high) concern that are used within Melexis supply chain (e.g. photoresists, acids and bases, chlorinated gases, heavy metals, etc.) l l Risk Complying with hazardous waste regulations The use of substances of concern in Melexis products is highly regulated and could lead to financial consequences if not complied with. l l The process of identifying impacts, risks, and opportunities related to Pollution aligns with our general methodology outlined under IRO-1 of ESRS 2. Melexis is a fabless semiconductor company, which means that our main processes are IC design, wafer probing and final product testing. This means that Melexis neither produces nor uses chemicals that are classified as Substances of (very high) concern or other chemicals that may lead to Air pollution under normal use. Thus, there are no Melexis site locations where Pollution is a material issue. Air pollution in the upstream value chain E2-4 Since Melexis neither produces nor uses chemicals that may lead to pollution under normal conditions, no material IROs related to Air pollution could be linked to our own operations. However, the topic is identified as material for our upstream value chain, namely wafer foundries and Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) providers. We require all Tier 1 suppliers to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct, which states suppliers' commitment to prevent air pollution. Thus, the target related to Supplier Code of Conduct also covers the topic of Air pollution. Please refer to section E1-2 to learn more about our policy (Supplier Code of Conduct) and to section S2-5 to learn more about our expectations and objectives related to this Code. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 67 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Substances of concern in the upstream value chain E2-5 Various chemicals used throughout the value chain of the semiconductor industry are considered hazardous. Some hazardous chemicals are classified as Substances of (very high) concern (SVHC) according to the REACH regulation, such as lead or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Although Melexis does not use or produce such substances, they are used in the upstream value chain, which leads to their presence in a limited number of Melexis products. No potentially harmful substances can be released under normal use. We require all Tier 1 suppliers to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct, which states suppliers' commitment to treat hazardous substances, including SVHCs, following applicable laws and regulations. Thus, the target related to Supplier Code of Conduct also covers the topic of Substances of (very high) concern. Please refer to section E1-2 to learn more about our policy (Supplier Code of Conduct) and to section S2-5 to learn more about our expectations and objectives related to this Code. Actions related to Substances of (very high) concern and Air pollution in the upstream value chain E2-2 Melexis key action related to Pollution is engagement with strategic suppliers — wafer foundries and Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) providers. Unfortunately, it must be noted that full avoidance of hazardous substances in the semiconductor value chain is not yet possible but we keep engaging with our suppliers through regular supplier meetings, and annual reporting cycle, to drive positive change and monitor the progress. In addition to compliance with Melexis Supplier Code of Conduct, we require them to report on both topics of Air pollution and Substances of (very high) concern annually through our supplier ESG questionnaire and through specialized reporting platforms. In 2024, we streamlined our supplier ESG questionnaire and aligned it with CSRD requirements to track suppliers' policies, actions and targets, including those related to Pollution. Air pollution. In common with Melexis, many of our strategic Tier 1 suppliers do not generate pollutants during their operations. Suppliers that do identify pollution as a material topic for their operations, implement pollution prevention and neutralization systems. Many of our Tier 1 suppliers are ISO 14001 certified, which serves as an external validation of their action related to the management and prevention of potential pollutants. Substances of (very high) concern. Our strategic suppliers implement controls to minimize the use of hazardous substances and ensure compliance with international regulations such as RoHS and REACH. These controls include monitoring the use of declarable substances, such as lead, and implementing procedures to limit their presence in products. Finally, efforts are made to reduce hazardous waste through material selection, waste separation, and recycling, with the goal of minimizing environmental impact and promoting resource recovery. Through engagement with our suppliers, Melexis ensures that our products are compliant with REACH, Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP), and RoHS regulations, as well as Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and other legislation related to the use of chemicals.

Reduced water availability within the value chain could have financial consequences. l l The process of identifying impacts, risks, and opportunities related to Water aligns with our general methodology outlined under IRO-1 of ESRS 2. Impact and risk management During our industrial processes, the use of water is very limited and water does not come in direct contact with chemicals or other potential pollutants. According to the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas, none of the Melexis production sites are located in areas with high overall water risk (score 4). Our analysis with subject matter experts concluded there were no material IROs nor a need to set-up reduction actions and targets relating to our own operations. Although our strategic suppliers are also not located in areas with high water risk according to the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas, we recognize the importance of water for wafer production in the semiconductor industry. As Melexis is a fabless company, the wafer manufacturing process is fully handled by our suppliers. In conclusion, since Melexis is not using water in business activities, the Water topic has been assessed only material from an impact perspective through our upstream value chain. Water and marine resources topic by our suppliers E3-2 To address the Water topic in the upstream value chain, our Supplier Code of Conduct requires all Melexis suppliers to maximize the efficient use of water. Thus, the target related to Supplier Code of Conduct also covers water management. Please refer to section S2-5 to learn more about our expectations and objectives related to this Code. Key action to address the risk of water availability and the impact of the intensive water use is engagement with our strategic suppliers, primarily meaning wafer foundries. In addition to compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct, as of 2023 we require them to report water-related information annually. In 2024, we streamlined our Supplier ESG Questionnaire and aligned it with CSRD requirements to track suppliers' policies, actions and targets, including those related to Water. Based on our upstream value chain engagement in 2024, we can report that each strategic supplier takes action related to water management. In particular, they focus on reducing water usage intensity through process optimization, recycling and reuse. Most suppliers have a water-related target set with a target year of 2030.

Specifically for Resource use and circular economy, we have identified dependencies on key resources such as copper and silicon as well as precious metals such as silver, gold, palladium, and platinum through a thorough analysis of the composition of our products. Additionally, internal discussions with subject matter experts have provided valuable insights into waste generation and packaging impacts. Policies related to Resource use and circular economy E5-1 Please refer to our Environmental policy and Supplier Code of Conduct for information about the general key contents, scope, accountability, third-party standards, stakeholder consideration, and availability. The paragraphs below highlight how these policies apply specifically to Resource use and circular economy. Environmental policy The first principle in the Environmental policy states that Melexis develops sustainable solutions. In particular, some of our products enable circular economy, such as sensors for smart waste management systems or wear-and-tear monitoring systems. Another key principle of our Environmental policy is First Time Right (FTR) in product development, which emphasizes the importance of getting things right from the outset. This approach aims to reduce errors and rework across the entire product lifecycle, from initial design to final production, helping conserve valuable materials within our integrated circuits (ICs), as well as the energy and water resources used in their manufacturing. To ensure this principle is effectively implemented, we require our suppliers to adopt safeguards that reduce the risk of defects leading to product rejection. Additionally, we focus on establishing poka-yoke (error-proofing) processes to eliminate human errors. Our Environmental policy also prioritizes the transition to low- and zero-carbon energy sources. For more details on this initiative, please refer to the Climate change and Energy sections. Another topic, transitioning away from virgin resource extraction, is covered by raw material use reduction, outlined in our policy as one of the directions for action. An example of the policy implementation is our ongoing work towards miniaturization and integration — please refer to the Actions section for further information. Supplier Code of Conduct Supplier Code of Conduct is a policy addressing the opportunity to further develop our sustainable supply chain through collaboration with suppliers. Resource use is a critical element in the Code, as it governs over 80% of our total spend. This Code requires suppliers to minimize waste and optimize resource efficiency, as well as to source energy from low- and zero-carbon resources whenever feasible. Through the requirement to minimize resource use, the policy addresses the impact related to dependency on finite resources. Resource use and circular economy actions E5-2 Waste management (Resource outflows) We have been proactively investing in our waste management for many years, going beyond compliance and showcasing Melexis environmental responsibility. We closely monitor the waste generated at our six biggest sites, which account for 93% of total waste. This monitoring is detailed, tracking waste by stream, hazard presence, and treatment type (destination). This scope aligns with our Environmental policy. In 2024, we standardized and streamlined our waste data collection process by unifying waste categories applicable to all Melexis sites. We used the European Waste Catalogue (EWC), or EURAL system, for this improvement. EURAL provides a standardized classification for waste materials, ensuring consistency, enabling stakeholders to understand an organization's environmental performance. It also supports effective waste tracking and analysis, allowing for data-driven improvements and increased resource recovery. For example, our biggest site in Sofia, Bulgaria sorts waste into more than 40 categories, which goes way beyond not only legislative requirements, but also common practices in the market. We educate our colleagues about recycling through awareness campaigns to ensure our contribution to a circular economy. Reusable and recycled packaging (Resource outflows) Since 2023, we have been mapping packaging inflows and outflows across our three largest sites to identify opportunities for reduction, reuse, and recycling. The focus on these sites is justified as they account for the majority of packaging movement. As a result of this mapping, we have maximized packaging reuse, such as sending ICs to customers in cardboard boxes sourced from assembly houses. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 71 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Quantitative data supporting the outcomes of these efforts can be found in the Resource outflows section below. Miniaturization and integration Our continuous innovation leads to further miniaturization and integration of Melexis products. This leads to increased sustainability of our products: • Improved efficiency of resources used in products: smaller dies on the wafer maximize silicon real estate, increasing efficiency and reducing waste during production. Reducing the die size in the package also minimizes silicon waste at end-of-life disposal. This leads to decrease in overall dependency on finite resources. • Reduced packaging: smaller products require less packaging material. This means we can pack more products in the same packaging, optimizing shipping and reducing our carbon footprint during transportation. • Simplified design: our miniaturization efforts often lead to simplified designs. For example, in 2024, Melexis launched the MLX90416 — the world’s first 60W single-coil sensorless BLDC driver. By shrinking the size and eliminating the need for a Hall sensor, we significantly reduce raw material consumption and energy use during manufacturing. This "No-Hall" technology decreases the overall component count, further minimizing resource depletion and promoting efficient material use. Transition away from precious metals Melexis continuously takes steps towards transitioning away from gold as one of the precious metals used in our products. Actual and potential actions are discussed internally and externally mainly by our purchasing and development teams. These actions address the risk and opportunity related to dependency on finite resources, and help increase sustainability of our supply chain. For example, in the next generations of our MLX90411 product, the gold wire will be replaced by copper wire, reducing the use of precious metals. For more information about our supplier risk assessment and the potential risk of forced and child labor associated to precious metals sourcing, please refer to the related section in S2-ESRS 2-SBM 3. E5-3 Targets related to waste management Melexis is committed to minimizing overall waste generation, as outlined in our Environmental policy, which prioritizes waste prevention. No target is set related to the impact of Hazardous waste, and there is no plan to set such target, because the amount of hazardous waste at Melexis is already minimized, as reported in E5-5 Waste volume below. We do take waste prevention and management actions as described under E5-2 and track their effectiveness by monitoring KPIs. These KPIs cover all six sites in scope of the Environmental policy. Each metric reported under E5-5 Waste volume and Waste composition, is tracked quarterly based on primary data, with an employee at each site in scope formally responsible for integrity checks and variance analysis. Key KPIs, such as weight of key waste streams, are reviewed quarterly with Site Management Teams. Resource inflows E5-4 Melexis material resource inflows include: • Wafers. • Packaging and other consumables. • Bill of Materials (BOM): materials used in our products, purchased by third-party assembly houses, including components like capacitors. • Utilities: electricity, gas, and water. • Nitrogen gas. • Capital: buildings, vehicles and production equipment, including mask sets and mold chases. • Components for the manufactured test equipment. Upon assessing our operations, we have determined that resource inflows are a material sustainability matter for Melexis. The following information is disclosed for the reporting period: • The overall total weight of materials in our products and packaging used was 436,539 kg. • 18% of our packaging and products is derived from biological sources, which is mostly attributed to cardboard packaging. • We used 63,968 kg of secondary reused or recycled materials in our packaging, constituting 15% of our total material usage (i.e. products and packaging included). Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 72 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Methodologies and calculations The data presented in this report is a combination of direct measurements and estimations. The total weight of packaging is calculated by measuring the average weight of each packaging type and multiplying it either by purchased quantities over the reporting year, or by estimated shipped quantities. Packaging from all shipments organized and managed by Melexis is in scope. Cardboard and paper packaging is considered to be derived from biological sources, thus the percentage of biological materials equals the share of cardboard and paper packaging in total packaging weight. Weight of reused packaging is estimated by experts on each site based on field observations. The rates of recycled content are provided by packaging suppliers. To avoid double counting of recycled and reused materials, we deducted the reused weight from the total weight to calculate the weight of recycled materials. The total weight of products is estimated based on average weight per IC type multiplied by the type's sales quantities for the reporting period. This approach is defined by subject matter experts, and allows for the most robust estimation, as different products with the same package type have comparable weight and composition. Resource outflows E5-5 Melexis has identified the following key products and materials as output of the production: • Packaged Integrated Circuits (ICs) — tiny electronic devices built on a semiconductor material. Melexis is a fabless semiconductor company, which means that our main industrial processes are package and chip design, probing and testing of integrated circuits (ICs). Other production- related processes are outsourced to our partners. • Bare dies, or Unpackaged Integrated Circuits. Essentially, "raw" silicon chips with circuitry etched onto them, but without any protective packaging. • Packaging used to ship our products to partners and customers, such as cardboard boxes. • Waste throughout our own operations. • Testers, spare parts and related services: through Xpeqt, an entity acquired in 2023. Durability of products Melexis products are engineered to meet strict automotive industry demands, as outlined in industry standards such as AEC-Q100 and JESD. Our products have a minimum service life of 15 years, which aligns with industry averages, and a minimum operating life of around 8,000 hours. This translates into an estimated durability of at least 100% of the market average. Beyond industry standards, we prioritize customer requirements, which vary based on the product and its application and may exceed 15 years and 8,000 hours. For instance, an IC's operating life will differ between a smartwatch and an electric car. Our commitment to durability is reflected in our thorough failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) for enhanced robustness validation. Every new product undergoes a comprehensive qualification process before market launch, ensuring that Melexis ICs can achieve their intended operating life without defects. Qualification includes various stress tests designed to simulate all types of exposures, with lifetime being a critical parameter. Our additional failure analysis process facilitates continuous improvement and helps prevent potential damage to our ICs over time. Repairability of products The automotive industry prioritizes reliability, requiring ICs to function for their entire intended lifespan. Reliability is a primary focus of Melexis, with probing and testing processes being key in our operations. Repairing ICs is generally avoided due to concerns about long-term performance and safety. Melexis, focusing heavily on the automotive sector, adheres to these stringent standards. Recyclable content • Packaging: the rate of recyclable contents in packaging is 98% on average. We estimated the average based on weight, purchased quantities and recyclability rates of each packaging type. The recyclability rates are provided by packaging suppliers. • Products: the rate of recyclable content in products is 42% and is calculated following a conservative approach. It is equal to the average share of materials in Melexis products that are actually recovered during scrap recycling that a third-party performs for Melexis.

We did not generate any radioactive waste as defined in Article 3(7) of Council Directive 2011/70/Euratom. Methodologies and assumptions Waste: the waste streams reported on above are a combination of Melexis local waste streams, aggregated according to the EURAL waste categories. The data presented in this report is sourced through a combination of primary data and estimations. Primary data is collected for Melexis six biggest sites and covers the period from January to October of the reporting year. The sources for this primary data are invoices and online tools provided by waste collectors. For some smaller local waste streams, volume of the waste is noted by a local responsible employee. Estimations are provided for November and December for the six biggest sites and for the other (non-production) sites for the whole reporting year. These estimations are based on historical data. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 74 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report EU Taxonomy The EU Taxonomy is a classification system based on performance criteria that assesses the contribution a company's economic activity makes to six environmental objectives: 1 Climate change mitigation 2 Climate change adaptation 3 The sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources 4 The transition to a circular economy 5 Pollution prevention and control 6 The protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (the ‘Taxonomy Regulation’) was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 22 June 2020 and entered into force on 12 July 2020. Technical screening criteria for each environmental objective are defined through delegated acts. The Climate Delegated Act (Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139), as amended by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2485, sets out the technical screening criteria that define whether a company's economic activity substantially contributes to the objective of climate change mitigation or climate change adaptation. The Environmental Delegated Act (Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2486) establishes the technical screening criteria for determining the conditions under which a company's economic activity qualifies as contributing substantially to the sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources, to the transition to a circular economy, to pollution prevention and control, or to the protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems. These delegated acts include so-called Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) criteria, to avoid that contributing activities significantly harm any of the other environmental objectives. They also include minimum safeguards relating to human rights, corruption, taxation and fair competition. As of 1 January 2024, companies need to report on the eligibility and alignment of their activities regarding all six of the environmental objectives. Based on Melexis NACE code 26.110, our business activity can best be classified as an economic activity under 3.6 ‘Manufacture of other low-carbon technologies’. A company's economic activity in this category is deemed eligible for climate change mitigation if it manufactures technologies aimed at substantial GHG emission reductions in other sectors of the economy. Semiconductor manufacturing is a Taxonomy-eligible activity where it is intended to enable another economic activity to make substantial greenhouse gas emission savings. We consider Melexis applications, which, among other things, reduce emissions in vehicles or have applications in electromobility, to be eligible. With regard to the five other environmental objectives, Melexis has no Taxonomy-eligible economic activities. In the context of the EU Taxonomy, ‘alignment’ means that an activity meets all the criteria to be classified as environmentally sustainable. This is the case where the activity in question: 1 Contributes substantially to one or more of the environmental objectives of the EU Taxonomy. To contribute substantially to Climate change mitigation, the company's economic activity must manufacture technologies that are aimed at and demonstrate substantial lifecycle GHG emission savings compared to the best performing alternative technology/product/solution available on the market. The GHG reduction across the lifecycle could be evaluated based on product lifecycle emissions and their applications. 2 Does not significantly harm any of the other environmental objectives of the EU Taxonomy: • Climate change adaptation: In 2024, we prioritized starting to assess how our assets and business activities could be exposed to climate-related hazards. We plan to pursue this analysis and link our conclusions to the expected lifetime of our assets, strategic planning horizons and capital allocation plans. According to our current discussions, no assets and business activities have been identified as incompatible with, or requiring significant efforts to be compatible with, a transition to a climate-neutral economy. This still needs to be confirmed by scientific analysis. • Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources: During Melexis industrial processes, the use of water is very limited and water does not come into direct contact with chemicals or other potential pollutants. Although Melexis own operations are not water- intensive, we recognize the importance of water in the semiconductor industry, for wafer production. As Melexis is a fabless company, the wafer manufacturing process is fully handled by our suppliers. In this context, we also refer to our Double Materiality Assessment. • Transition to a circular economy: We work closely with our strategic suppliers to encourage the use of sustainable practices in alignment with the Melexis Supplier Code of Conduct. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 75 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report • Pollution prevention and control: The semiconductor industry relies on the use of chemicals. The current wording regarding the aspect of pollution prevention and control has given rise to a number of ongoing issues. A company's economic activity may not lead to the manufacture, placing on the market, or use of certain chemicals in order to be Taxonomy-aligned. The Climate Delegated Act refers to other existing EU legislation that regulates the use of certain chemicals (such as REACH and RoHS). Melexis complies with these legislative requirements. The semiconductor industry has been granted multiple exemptions and/or derogations from restrictions on certain substances. However, since these are not acknowledged under the Taxonomy framework, there are cases where semiconductor manufacturing companies report very low alignment levels due to their significant reliance on some of these substances. • Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems: At Melexis, we understand the inherent value of biodiversity and have therefore worked on evaluating our potential impacts, starting by an assessment of our dependencies or material interdependence with local ecosystems. We also discussed potential physical and transition risks and opportunities concerning biodiversity and could not identify broader systemic risks. According to Key Biodiversity Areas analysis, no Melexis production sites are located in or near biodiversity- sensitive areas. 3 Is carried out in compliance with the minimum safeguards: Article 18 of the Taxonomy regulation requires companies to implement procedures to ensure the alignment of their activities with the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, including the principles and rights set out in the eight fundamental conventions identified in the Declaration of the International Labor Organization on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the International Bill of Human Rights. Melexis rejects corruption and bribery as stated in the relevant UN Convention against Corruption from 2003, and promotes transparency, trading with integrity, responsible leadership, and company accountability. Melexis stands up for human rights as stated in the Charter of the United Nations. We respect human and labor rights in all our activities, as defined in ILO International Labor Standards, UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. Specifically, we do not tolerate, engage in or support the use of forced labor, child labor, and human trafficking. We ensure labor rights of all people working for Melexis, including the right to collective bargaining, the right to rest and reasonable working hours. More information about responsible supply chain and business ethics can be found under sections E1, E2, E3, E5, S2, S4 and G1. Turnover To calculate the eligible turnover, we started from the financial data reported in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (see chapter 8). The turnover in the denominator of the calculation covers the ‘total revenue’ mentioned in ‘Consolidated income statement’. Based on our financial system, we could allocate revenue directly to sustainable applications. Due to the legal uncertainties regarding the DNSH criteria of Pollution prevention and control and the fact that Melexis is still in an early stage of product lifecycle assessments, we classify our activities as non-aligned. CapEx The Disclosures Delegated Act (Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178 ) defines capital expenses as additions to tangible and intangible assets during the financial year considered before depreciation, amortization and any re-measurements, including those resulting from revaluations and impairments, for the relevant financial year and excluding fair value changes. The capital expenses in the denominator of the calculation cover the ‘Purchase of property, plant and equipment’ and the ‘Purchase of intangible assets’ as mentioned in ‘Consolidated statement of cash flows’. Capital expenses have been allocated to products for green applications where there is a direct link, and pro rata compared to the sales proportion for sustainable applications for the remainder of the manufacturing investments. The CapEx numerator equals to the part of the capital expenditure included in the denominator that is any of the following: a. related to assets or processes that are associated with Taxonomy-aligned economic activities (type a CapEx); b. part of a plan to expand Taxonomy-aligned economic activities or to allow Taxonomy-eligible economic activities to become Taxonomy-aligned (‘CapEx plan’) (type b CapEx); c. related to the purchase of output from Taxonomy-aligned economic activities and individual measures enabling the target activities to become low-carbon or to lead to greenhouse gas reductions (type c CapEx). Due to the legal uncertainties regarding the DNSH criteria of Pollution prevention and control and the fact that Melexis is still in an early stage of product lifecycle assessments, we classify our type a CapEx as non-aligned. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 76 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Type c CapEx includes the 'installation, maintenance and repair of charging stations for electric vehicles in buildings and parking spaces attached to buildings' (i.e. charging stations in our Belgian facilities); 'installation, maintenance and repair of façade and roofing elements with a solar shading or solar control function, including those that support the growing of vegetation' (i.e. the new façade of our building in Erfurt); and 'installation, maintenance and repair of solar photovoltaic systems and the ancillary technical equipment' (i.e. solar panels at our sites in Ieper and Sofia). Given the low percentage of CapEx under consideration, we did not perform a physical climate risk and vulnerability assessment to evaluate if the criteria for DNSH to climate change adaptation are fulfilled. Hence, we classify our type c CapEx as non-aligned. OpEx According to the Disclosures Delegated Act, operating expenses cover direct non-capitalized costs that relate to research and development (R&D), building renovation measures, short-term lease, maintenance and repair, and any other direct expenditures relating to the day-to-day servicing of assets of property, plant and equipment by the undertaking or third party to whom activities are outsourced that are necessary to ensure the continued and effective functioning of such assets. For the calculation of the eligible operating expenses, all R&D expenses and all non-R&D maintenance costs were taken into account. To define the operating expenses, we were able to link most of our R&D expenses directly to products with sustainable applications via the financial system and distributed pro rata compared to the sales proportion of our products for sustainable applications, for the remainder of the eligible operating expenses. Due to the legal uncertainties regarding the DNSH criteria of Pollution prevention and control and the fact that Melexis is still in an early stage of product lifecycle assessments, we classify our activities as non-aligned.

They are considered as subject to material impacts by our operations. At Melexis, employees are individuals who work under a formal agreement, contributing to the company’s goals while receiving wages, benefits, and direct supervision as part of the Melexis team. They are related to the assignment type Employees. Non-employees, collaborate with Melexis under specific contracts, maintaining autonomy in their work while not being integrated into the company’s structure or receiving the same benefits, they include assignment types Interim and Management Contracts. Material impacts, outlined in the table below, may be both positive and negative. They are applicable to all employees, and thus not specific to particular geographic areas, employee types, or employees with particular characteristics. Thus, we strive to address these impacts and related risks and opportunities for all of our colleagues, while accounting for the context of their work. This conclusion is a result of our employee listening initiatives, which analyze how people with particular characteristics or in specific contexts may be at greater risk of harm. Please refer to Engaging with vulnerable workforce groups to learn more. These impacts, risks and opportunities do not relate to specific incidents, and thus their occurrence cannot be quantified. The risks are not considered widespread or systemic. Melexis does not expect any material impacts on its own workforce that may arise from transition plans aimed at reducing negative environmental impacts and achieving climate-neutral operations. Firstly, the goals of our core business are aligned with the goals of climate transition. These goals are reflected in our corporate strategy, driven by ESG. Secondly, we are committed to investing in our employees through reskilling and upskilling initiatives, ensuring they remain valuable contributors as we adapt to the changing landscape. Melexis proactively analyses whether any operations are at significant risk of incidents of forced labor, compulsory labor, or child labor. We use Global Slavery Index and UNICEF data for our analysis. According to the data for 2024, Melexis has no operations with significant number of employees in any of the top-20 countries with the highest risk of forced, compulsory, or child labor. Therefore, no operations are considered to be under significant risk.

Our global policies cover all employees, regardless of their employment status (full-time, part-time, contract- based). Code of Conduct The Melexis Code of Conduct applies to all entities within the Melexis Group and is overseen by the General Counsel. It is readily accessible on both our external website and internal Melexis Hub. When developing this Code, we referenced international standards such as ILO International Labor Standards, the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. The Code of Conduct is reviewed on a yearly basis and updated if and where necessary. As part of this review, compliance with international standards may be taken into account. The Code is anchored in three key commitments: workplace commitments, business commitments, and integrity commitments. It covers a wide range of topics, including workplace safety and health, diversity and inclusion, equal treatment, the use of computing and information resources, legal compliance, environmental sustainability, human rights, product safety, consumer rights, financial and non-financial accounting and reporting, confidential information, intellectual property, privacy and data protection, conflicts of interest, gifts, bribery and corruption, insider trading, competition and antitrust, and overall compliance with the Code itself. Specifically, the Code addresses diversity and inclusion by prohibiting discrimination and promoting a harassment-free workplace. It also ensures respect for human and labor rights, including the prohibition of forced labor, child labor, and human trafficking, as well as the protection of labor rights for all Melexis employees. We do not explicitly address particular vulnerable groups, as we target to ensure integrity, honesty, and fairness for each and every employee. Speak-up policy The Melexis Speak-up policy applies to all entities within the Melexis Group and is overseen by the General Counsel. It is accessible on both our external website and internal Melexis Hub. Aligned with European and national laws, this policy provides a reporting mechanism open to all Melexis colleagues and external stakeholders. Confidential treatment of all reports is ensured and anonymous reporting is available where permitted by law. Importantly, all individuals who report good-faith concerns are protected from retaliation. Further information on our Speak-up policy can be found below in G1-1. Health and safety policies Melexis local health and safety policies are mandated for all entities subject to local health and safety regulations. Each site's health and safety representative oversees implementation, and the policy is introduced during employee onboarding training. These policies are tailored to comply with specific country regulations. The primary goal of these policies is to safeguard employees, visitors, and anyone potentially impacted by Melexis operations, adhering to relevant health and safety standards. To achieve this, the policies address various aspects of workplace accident prevention: • Risk assessment and management: regular risk assessments are conducted to identify and mitigate potential hazards, pro-actively preventing accidents. • Safety training and instruction: comprehensive safety training equips employees with the knowledge and skills to work safely. • Equipment and machinery safety: strict procedures ensure the safe operation and maintenance of equipment and machinery, reducing the risk of equipment-related accidents. • Emergency preparedness: clear emergency procedures and fire safety protocols are in place to respond effectively to incidents, minimizing potential harm. • Chemical safety: guidelines for safe chemical handling and storage reduce the risk of exposure and chemical-related incidents. • Continuous improvement: a system for monitoring, analyzing, and addressing safety concerns fosters a culture of continuous improvement. By combining proactive measures like risk assessment and training with reactive measures like emergency procedures and incident analysis, these policies create a safer working environment for all involved. Working conditions Melexis working conditions are tailored to each entity within the Melexis Group, aligning with local legislation and market practices. People & Workplace managers on each site are responsible for implementing these conditions, which employees sign during the hiring process. While there are no specific third-party standards, these policies encompass a broad range of topics, including working hours, leave policies, compensation and benefits, health and safety, and grievance procedures. They also highlight the company's commitment to equitable pay and equal opportunities for training and development. Melexis prioritizes providing optimal working conditions to attract and retain top talent. We aim to exceed legal and market standards by offering flexible work arrangements, parental leave policies, and ample opportunities for development and internal mobility.

Through our comprehensive employee engagement program, we embark on a journey of continuous improvement, ensuring that our strategies and policies are shaped by the insights and feedback of our people. Together, we create a dynamic and inclusive workplace where every employee feels empowered to contribute their unique perspectives and make a lasting impact on our collective success. Engagement with workforce and workers’ representatives Mode of engagement: we engage both directly with our workforce and with employee representatives. Direct engagement is managed through an employee engagement program that includes structured communication with employees at all levels, ensuring a diverse range of perspectives. Engagement with elected employee representatives through workers' councils supplements this at some sites. Engagement process: the engagement program includes a variety of channels: in-person Business Communication Tour, digital Employee Listening Survey, Melexis Connect newsletter, hybrid Town Hall and Leaders Connect meetings, and a digital forum "CEO space". All these initiatives are organized regularly throughout the year, some taking place annually, others on a weekly basis. To cover all stages of employment lifecycle, we have automated onboarding surveys in place, as well as a standard process for exit interviews. Leadership and responsibility: the accountability for the employee engagement program lies with our Global People & Culture Director. As a senior executive, the Global People & Culture Director ensures the insights and feedback from our workforce are not only heard but actively integrated into our strategies and policies. This role is pivotal in bridging the gap between workforce perspectives and executive decision-making. Global framework agreement and human rights: there is no global framework agreement at Melexis, but we do highlight our commitment to human rights through a dedicated Social Sustainability chapter in our Code of Conduct. Assessing engagement effectiveness: we set targets and KPIs to assess the effectiveness of our engagement activities. In particular, we have set a target of employees recommending Melexis as a good place to work. We track this KPI via engagement surveys. To ensure the effectiveness of the survey itself as a channel for employee engagement, we track survey participation rate. In 2024, the rate was 77%. Engaging with vulnerable workforce groups Melexis is dedicated to building a just and equitable workplace where all colleagues can thrive. We are particularly mindful of the need to support groups who may be at higher risk, such as women who are often underrepresented in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) industries like microelectronics. To ensure their voices are heard, we incorporate factors like gender and nationality into our analysis of engagement surveys. This allows us to proactively identify and address potential concerns, fostering an environment where every employee feels supported and respected. Processes to remediate negative impacts and channels for Own workforce to raise concerns S1-3 To avoid as much negative impact on our own workforce as possible, Melexis has implemented several policies and procedures to ensure that any negative impacts are appropriately investigated and remedied, and to allow our personnel to raise any concerns they might have. Remediation and concern-raising channels Channels for raising concerns: Melexis has several options for its personnel to raise any concerns they may have. These include the possibility to report any concerns (anonymously) through our Speak-up procedure, which includes an online whistleblowing tool, as well as persons of trust who are available to our colleagues, and an internal audit procedure to investigate any incidents. Grievance/complaints handling mechanism: the Speak-up procedure can be used by all personnel to communicate concerns about any issues they might have, whether related to the violation of any laws or the violation of the Melexis Code of Conduct or any other Melexis policies. Approach to remediation: to remedy any negative impacts Melexis might have on its own workforce, we carefully investigate each incident that is reported via the Speak-up procedure or through other channels. Based on the findings of such investigation, we determine the best course of action to remedy the issue. The effectiveness of our remediation actions is assessed through a follow-up with any involved persons and their team leads. Supporting channel availability: Melexis is invested in creating awareness on the available grievance mechanisms. Internal communications, such as the ESG Newsletter and the Melexis intranet, as well as regular trainings, ensure that our workforce is well aware of the grievance channels available to them. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 86 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Tracking and monitoring effectiveness: any reports filed through the above mentioned channels are thoroughly investigated and followed up on when necessary by designated Melexis employees. To ensure all reports received are tracked, Melexis has a register of all concerns reported through the Speak-up procedure, as well as the actions taken to follow up on these concerns. To ensure effectiveness of the channels, they are carefully re-evaluated on a regular basis, taking into account any feedback received from (intended) users. Assessment of workforce awareness and trust in processes Melexis Speak-up policy allows our workforce, as well as external stakeholders, to report any concerns they have. Under this policy, anyone reporting good faith concerns is protected against retaliation, and has an opportunity to report their concerns anonymously (when permitted by local law). Our colleagues are made aware of the Speak-up policy through the ESG newsletter and mandatory Code of Conduct training that takes place on an annual basis. The Code of Conduct training is complemented by a test, part of which deals with questions to assess our workforce's awareness of, and trust in, the Speak- up procedure. Actions on material impacts on Own workforce, and approaches to managing material risks and pursuing material opportunities related to Own workforce S1-4 Enhancement of the employee engagement program In 2024, Melexis enhanced its employee engagement program to streamline processes, increase touchpoints, and prioritize data-driven action planning. This improvement aims to translate survey insights into concrete initiatives that bolster employee engagement and support the ongoing cultural transformation. The refined process, outlined in the Engaging with own workforce section, involves regular feedback collection through annual engagement surveys and pulse surveys. This enables us to proactively identify and address concerns, as well as leverage positive impacts and opportunities. The People & Culture department, in collaboration with other departments and senior management, analyses, prioritizes, and implements action plans based on survey results. Executive Management receives these results, ensuring employee feedback is prioritized to address potential impacts, risks, and opportunities globally. The program enhancement was initiated in 2024, with the first action plans expected to launch in early 2025. This updated Engagement program is applicable to all Melexis employees. Cultural Transformation program The Melexis people-centric company culture is built on science-based models. Its foundation is the self- determination theory, developed by renowned psychologists Edward L. Deci and Richard M. Ryan. The theory sees three universal and innate needs — autonomy, relatedness and competence — as essential to the psychological health, well-being and growth of any individual. To put self-determination theory in practice, we apply a sociocracy model, which integrates core practices found in frameworks such as agile methodologies, lean management, Kanban, and Design Thinking. In 2024, we launched our Cultural Transformation program to foster innovation, agility, and employee empowerment in response to a dynamic industry landscape. This transformation focuses on three key behaviors: autonomy, entrepreneurship, and fast and effective decision-making, all built on a foundation of trust and inclusion. The goal is to create a dynamic, adaptable environment where everyone feels valued, empowered, and equipped to contribute to our ongoing success. A complementary leadership development program launched in 2024 is designed to equip leaders with the tools to champion these behaviors. This ongoing cultural transformation applies to all Melexis employees. It was launched in early 2024 and is planned to continue over the next three years. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion program Since its inception, Melexis has valued our diverse and multicultural workforce, recognizing the richness it brings to discussions, perspectives, and overall organizational health. Diversity and inclusion practices have a direct impact on Melexis ability to innovate and deliver high-quality products and services. To further foster inclusion, we are launching a global Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) program in 2025. This program will address identified impacts, risks, and opportunities, aiming to make Melexis attractive to diverse talent and ensure all colleagues feel heard and empowered to contribute fully. With a particular focus on women in STEM, this program will be implemented across all Melexis entities. Remedial actions for material impacts: We encourage employees to report any concerns, in particular those related to material impacts and risks, by following the global Speak-up policy outlined above. The way these cases are treated is described in S1-3 under 'Remediation and concern-raising channels'. Resources for managing material impacts Melexis allocates significant resources, both financial and non-financial, for managing the material impacts on our workforce. This includes offering attractive working conditions, investments in safety equipment, various training programs (including the Cultural Transformation program), health and safety initiatives, and technology upgrades. Melexis also substantially invests in employee engagement and continuous improvement processes and policies while embracing DEI initiatives and regulations. Our resource allocation is a dynamic process, adapting to evolving business needs and workforce expectations to ensure effective management of material impacts. 1 Source: SEMI, 2024 Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 87 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Workforce targets S1-5 Employees recommending Melexis as a good place to work We aim to achieve a 90% employee recommendation rate, measured by the percentage of employees who positively respond to the Employee Listening Survey. This target aligns with our commitment to provide attractive working conditions (such as working time, adequate wage, life balance, secure employment), which leads to retaining existing employees and attracting new talent. The target is based on evidence from our partners specialized in employee listening programs. Because the target is fixed, baseline value or baseline year are not applicable. This target applies globally to all Melexis employees. In 2024, the employee recommendation rate was 79%. To track progress, shorter pulse surveys will be introduced in 2025. Data is collected through the Employee Listening Survey, assuming a sufficient participation rate to represent the workforce. Consistent methodology and tooling ensure comparability. The People & Culture department has set the target in consultation with Executive Management, and leads this initiative, with other stakeholders involved. The results are communicated to team leads and senior leaders. Ensure that the highest standards of safety on site are implemented This target aligns directly with the Melexis commitment to employee health and safety, as outlined in our Code of Conduct and local health and safety policies. We aim to achieve zero work-related accidents, measured by the absolute number of reported incidents. This target applies to all Melexis employees subject to local health and safety systems. The target remains constant as we strive to prevent all accidents. The target period covers the entire calendar year, with quarterly reviews conducted by People & Workplace managers through the Balanced Scorecard approach. The assumption is that all accidents are accurately reported and recorded. People & Workplace managers in each region are accountable, with support from local health and safety advisors. In 2024, the number of work-related accidents was 35. Regular safety trainings and awareness programs are conducted to empower employees to mitigate risks and prevent accidents. Melexis recognizes the vital importance of equal treatment, diversity, and inclusion (DEI), and the impact it may have on innovation and employee turnover. While we have not yet established formal targets in these areas, we have been actively monitoring key quantitative and qualitative data for years. Details on our workforce diversity are available in sections S1-6 and S1-9, with our qualitative data collection process outlined in S1-2 and S1-4. This in-depth analysis is informing the development of meaningful DEI targets, which we plan to implement in 2025. This proactive approach underscores our unwavering commitment to these core values, which are integral to our long-term success. Characteristics of our colleagues S1-6 At Melexis, our people are the driving force behind our innovative spirit. We cultivate a culture of autonomy, entrepreneurship, and fast and effective decision-making, enabling our talented and diverse team to thrive. We are committed to fostering an environment where each individual is encouraged to take ownership, contribute their unique perspectives, and continuously develop their skills. This culture, combined with our shared passion for advancing microelectronics technology, enables us to achieve ambitious goals and deliver exceptional results. In the interest of transparency, we provide a comprehensive overview of our employee characteristics in the tables below. The data is reported in headcount as at 31 December 2024 for our employees only (see description under SBM-2), while the information in our financial statement is reported as average FTE, with a total number of 1,941. Our headcount data is consolidated on a global level and managed centrally. No assumptions were taken into account when compiling the data. Employee headcount by gender Female Male Other Not Reported Total Number of employees 672 1,338 0 0 2,010 Number of permanent employees 666 1,329 0 0 1,995 Number of temporary employees 6 9 0 0 15 Melexis does not have non-guaranteed hours in 2024. Melexis is energized by a global team of 2,010 talented individuals. Out of those 2,010 people, 672 are women (33%) and 1,338 (67%) are men. We are proud of the achieved metric regarding gender balance, which is consistent with the previous year, and is higher than the industry average of 29% 1. We will continue our efforts to promote gender diversity creating an even more inclusive workplace. Furthermore, with over 99% of our team on permanent contracts, we are proud to offer a workplace built on stability and long-term growth.

This figure reflects our commitment to cultivating a positive and rewarding work environment where our employees feel valued and motivated to build long-term careers at Melexis. The employee turnover ratio is calculated by dividing the number of employees that left the organization during the past year by the average headcount of the same period. The average headcount is the sum of the monthly headcount divided by 12. Collective bargaining coverage and social dialogue S1-8 As at 31 December, 2024 some 44% percent of our employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements, which are formulated in various ways according to local legislation. Collective bargaining coverage Social dialog Coverage rate Employees – EEA Employees – Non- EEA Workplace representation (EEA only) 0-19% Bulgaria, Switzerland APAC, NALA Switzerland 20-39% 0 0 40-59% Germany France 60-79% 0 0 80-100% Belgium, France Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany This table represents countries with more than 50 employees by headcount representing at least 10% of its total number of employees. The coverage percentage for collective bargaining agreements is calculated by dividing the number of employees covered by such agreements by the total number of employees in the country. There is no European Works Council (EWC) established at Melexis. Diversity S1-9 At Melexis, we believe that diversity is more than just a buzzword; it's the lifeblood of innovation and the key to unlocking our full potential. From our earliest days, we have championed diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as a strategic imperative, recognizing that a workforce composed of individuals with different genders, ages, nationalities, and backgrounds leads to richer ideas, more creative solutions, and ultimately, greater success. The data below demonstrates our commitment to diversity across Melexis. Top Management by gender Gender Number Percentage (%) Female 1 25% Male 3 75% Our Top Management definition currently consists of the Executive Management team. This definition will be re-evaluated in 2025 to ensure it remains aligned with the company's organizational structure and governance. The data is presented as headcount per 31 December 2024. During the year, the Executive Management underwent a change to a new leadership structure, reducing the team from seven to five members. Additionally, in the last quarter, one female member of the Executive Management Team left the company, reducing the team to four members and bringing the percentage of female members from 40% to 25%. Our belief in the power of diversity is not just evident in our Executive Management team, but also in the composition of our Board of Directors. We are proud to have achieved a 50/50 gender balance on our Board, with three women and three men bringing their unique experiences and insights to the table. Employees headcount by age group Age group Number Percentage Under 30 years old 348 17% 30-50 years old 1290 64% Over 50 years old 372 19% Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 90 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Melexis is fostering a multi-generational workforce, where diverse perspectives and experiences enrich our collaboration. With a vibrant mix of 348 employees aged under 30, 1,290 aged between 30 and 50 and, 372 over 50, we embrace the unique strengths that each generation brings to our team. Adequate wages S1-10 The Melexis remuneration policy aims to be fair, transparent and consistent. To achieve this, we analyze local labor markets to offer competitive salaries, benefits, and variable bonuses while adhering to local regulations. We believe in rewarding individual performance through merit-based salary increases and performance-based bonuses, recognizing exceptional contributions that drive the company's success. This approach motivates our employees and ensures a sustainable future for Melexis. Following S1-10 disclosure guidelines we confirm that we offer salaries in full compliance with minimum wage regulations in all countries where we operate. Health and safety metrics S1-14 At Melexis, all employees and non-employees working on Melexis sites are covered by the company's health and safety management system. This system is designed to comply with relevant health and safety legislation and emphasizes personal responsibility, risk assessment, and continuous improvement. Safety performance metrics Employee metrics Quantity % of people who are covered by the undertaking’s health and safety management system 100% Number of fatalities as a result of work-related injuries and work-related ill health of other workers 0 Number of fatalities as a result of work-related injuries and work-related ill health in own workforce 0 Number of recordable work-related accidents for own workforce 35 Rate of recordable work-related accidents for own workforce 8% Number of cases of recordable work related ill health 5 Number of days lost to work-related injuries and fatalities 184 Remuneration S1-16 In accordance with the ESRS and our commitment to transparency and equal opportunities, we have conducted a thorough analysis of our gender pay gap. The unadjusted global pay gap — or the difference in average hourly earnings between all men and women in our organization without consideration of location, country, job type, or past performance of incumbents — is 29.2%. However, it is crucial to understand the factors contributing to this gap. After adjusting for variables such as country and job level, the "like-for-like" pay gap is 2.5%. The remuneration ratio of our highest paid individual to the median annual total remuneration for all employees (excluding the highest-paid individual) is 11 to 1. Incidents, complaints and severe human rights impacts S1-17 Melexis does not tolerate, engage in, or support the use of forced labor, child labor, and human trafficking. We ensure labor rights for all people working at Melexis, including the right to collective bargaining, the right to rest and reasonable working hours. Work-related incidents and complaints Melexis attach great importance to remediating any human rights incidents or incidents of discrimination and harassment that might occur. In 2024, 2 incidents of discrimination and harassment were reported within Melexis. Given the sensitive nature of such matters, we do not disclose further details about these incidents. Both incidents were thoroughly investigated and appropriate action was taken where needed. By the end of 2024, both incidents were closed and no material fines, penalties or compensation for damages occurred as a result of these incidents. Severe human rights incidents In 2024, no severe human rights incidents connected to our workforce were reported. Consequently, Melexis did not incur any fines or penalties, nor did it pay any compensation for damages in this regard. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 91 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report S2 Workers in the value chain S2-ESRS 2-SBM 3 At Melexis we take our social responsibility seriously, both within our own operations and throughout the entire supply chain. In our daily operations, caring about our supply chain workers means ensuring ethical and sustainable sourcing and transparency in our business relationships. Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their interaction with strategy and business model Value chain workers’ impact on strategy and business model Melexis has conducted an assessment to determine the actual and potential impacts on value chain workers. Following this assessment, we conclude that the potential impacts are mainly focused around the working conditions, equal treatment and human rights of our upstream value chain workers. Scope and details of impact on value chain workers Today, Melexis does not have full transparency on the activities of all our value chain workers, as we focus on our direct suppliers, who are manufacturers of wafers and who execute assembly services on behalf of Melexis. Melexis consistently works to gather essential information about our upstream value chain. For a number of years, all our direct suppliers are obliged to provide a conflict mineral statement. All Bill Of Materials suppliers must complete and report in the format of the latest version of the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) published by Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI). In 2023, Melexis further advanced its procurement practices, requiring suppliers to sign our Supplier Code of Conduct and complete ESG questionnaires. In 2024, we included questions on supplier requirements that our Tier 1 suppliers set for their own suppliers, as well as a question on sources of materials to be able to assess the location-specific risks in the future. Melexis intends to also implement supplier control processes where ESG will be embedded in the supplier scorecards. In 2024, we conducted risk assessments of locations across the value chain for forced labor and child labor, and confirmed that no Melexis strategic suppliers and major markets are among top-20 countries with the highest risk of forced and child labor. In 2025, we will continue with a more detailed analysis of potentially higher-risk areas in the upstream value chain. Based on the current analysis, we do not expect potential material impacts to be widespread. As summarized in the table below, the identified material risks for Melexis relate to our dependency on the workers in the upstream value chain and potential human rights violations in the upstream value chain. As Melexis is highly dependent of workers in the upstream value chain, strikes or resignations in the supply chain could lead to disruption and financial consequences. In regards to violation of human rights for workers in the supply chain, this could lead to reputational as well as financial consequences for Melexis. Understanding potential greater risks Melexis has not developed an understanding of how workers in specific contexts, or those engaged in particular activities, may be at greater risk. Risks and opportunities related to specific groups As mentioned above, Melexis is working together with business partners in the upstream value chain to assess whether specific groups in particular geographic areas are exposed to higher risk of child labor or forced labor. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 92 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Material impacts, risks and opportunities We have identified the following value chain worker-related impacts and risks, mainly in the upstream operations of our value chain: S2 (Workers in the value chain) Main impacts, risks and opportunities ESRS sub-topic Value chain Time horizon Upstream Own Operations Downstream Short-term (<1y) Mid-term (1y-5y) Long-term (>5y) Workers in the value chain - working conditions Positive/negative potential impact Working conditions of value chain workers Melexis could potentially have an impact on working conditions (e.g. health and safety, life balance, adequate wage, etc.) of workers in our supply chain. l l Risk Dependency on workers in the value chain Melexis is highly dependent of workers in our supply chain. Strikes or resignations by strategic suppliers could lead to disruption and financial consequences. l l Workers in the value chain - equal treatment Positive/negative potential impact Equal treatment of value chain workers Melexis could potentially have an impact on equal treatment of workers in the value chain (e.g. equal pay for equal work, no discrimination, access to training opportunities, etc.) l l Workers in the value chain - other rights Negative potential impact Human rights violations in the value chain There are potential risks of violation of human rights further up the value chain of Melexis (e.g. forced labor, child labor, water and sanitation, etc.) l l Risk Consequences of human rights violations in the value chain Violation of human rights for workers in the value chain could lead to brand reputation damage and financial consequences (e.g. forced labour, child labour, etc.) l l Policies to manage material Impacts on value chain workers S2-1 Supplier Code of Conduct The Melexis Supplier Code of Conduct outlines sustainability expectations, workplace commitments, business conduct requirements, and information needs, aligning with our guiding principles. This Code, a prerequisite for doing business with Melexis, applies to all our suppliers, contractors, and subcontractors (collectively "Business Partners"), encompassing all upstream value chain workers. Business Partners must comply with relevant laws and regulations, respect human rights, uphold ethical practices, and commit to environmental sustainability. This may exceed legal requirements, and any conflicts with local laws must be reported to Melexis before signing the agreement. Violations may result in a review of the business relationship. To ensure compliance, Business Partners must maintain relevant documentation and authorize announced audits by Melexis or its agents. The Procurement Director oversees policy implementation, updates, communication, training, and overall adherence. The Code reflects our commitment to stakeholders, emphasizing fair business, human rights, and environmental responsibility for a positive societal and environmental impact. It aligns with the UN Global Compact principles and is publicly available on Melexis website. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 93 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Human rights policy commitments Melexis requires its suppliers to respect all basic human rights as stipulated in the ILO International Labor Standards, the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, among others. Suppliers must recognize that human rights are crucial and universal and must respect those rights in all of their activities. Respect for human rights and labor rights As Melexis could potentially have an impact on the working conditions and equal treatment of the workers in its upstream value chain, our suppliers (just like Melexis) should not tolerate, engage in and/ or support the use of forced and/or child labor, modern slavery or human trafficking. We also do not tolerate discrimination or harassment on the grounds of race, color, gender, religion, origin, civil status, family circumstances, feelings or sexual orientation, disability or age. Suppliers must support equal opportunities, fairness and diversity and ensure that all upstream value chain workers are treated according to their abilities and qualifications in any employment decisions. We have considered our broader value chain and its presence in other continents where there is a potential negative risk in regions with less strict human rights legislation. Engagement with value chain workers The Melexis Global Speak-up procedure is also open to all value chain workers. Just like our own workforce, value chain workers are encouraged to report issues if they have any concerns. The way these reports are treated is described in S1-3 under 'Remediation and concern-raising channels'. Remedial measures Melexis designated personnel thoroughly investigates each and every report received. Following such investigations, appropriate measures to remedy any impacts are determined and applied. Addressing trafficking, forced and child labor As mentioned above, Melexis does not not tolerate, engage in and/or support the use of forced and/or child labor, modern slavery or human trafficking. It expects the same from its suppliers. There is a section dedicated to this topic in the Melexis Supplier Code of Conduct. Alignment with internationally recognized instruments The Melexis Supplier Code of Conduct aligns with international standards and guidelines, including the UN Global Compact, ILO International Labor Standards, UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. In 2024, no cases stating non-respect of the above mentioned international standards and guidelines have been reported by value chain workers. Processes for engaging with value chain workers about impacts S2-2 Disclosure of non-engagement As it has not been identified as a strategic priority, no general process has been adopted by Melexis to engage with workers in the value chain on a regular basis. We do however have our Speak-up procedure that is open to value chain workers, as well as some indirect engagement strategies such as the Supplier Code of Conduct and Supplier Questionnaires. Processes to remediate negative impacts and channels for value chain workers to raise concerns S2-3 Detailed description of processes and channels Melexis designated personnel investigate all reported concerns and incidents of possible impacts on the working conditions, equal treatment and human rights of our value chain workers. Based on the findings of such investigations, appropriate remedies are determined and applied. Through the Melexis Speak-up procedure, value chain workers can raise any concerns they might have directly with designated Melexis employees, who will follow up and investigate any report thoroughly. Appropriate remedies are determined and applied, based on the findings of the investigation. The effectiveness of the reporting channel is reviewed periodically and adapted if necessary. Melexis does not actively require its partners and suppliers to establish similar channels within their organizations. We do however open up our own Speak-up procedure for our value chain workers so they can raise any concerns or needs directly with Melexis. As explained in S1-1 and G1-1, Melexis has a Speak-up policy in place which protects any stakeholders that report concerns against retaliation. It is permanently available on the Melexis website to make sure Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 94 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report that all value chain workers are aware of the reporting channel. In addition, the Supplier Code of Conduct specifically refers to the Melexis Speak-up policy. Currently, Melexis does not have a specific process in place to ensure value chain workers are aware of and trust this process. Action on material impacts on value chain workers S2-4 Melexis is developing action plans and allocating resources to manage material impacts, risks, and opportunities concerning our value chain workers, especially on ensuring fair working conditions and equal treatment of workers in our upstream value chain. The key actions mentioned below ensure the effectiveness and continuous improvement of these measures. ESG questionnaire In 2024, Melexis sent an ESG questionnaire to our major BOM suppliers. The questionnaire, which covers Environment, Social, Governance, Product, and Sourcing, was reviewed, validated, and scored for maturity. In the next step, specific improvement actions will be defined in collaboration with the respective suppliers. As part of our commitment to integrating ESG principles into our operations, we ensure that all members of our procurement team receive dedicated training on ESG topics. By fostering awareness and understanding of sustainability, human rights, and ethical sourcing, we aim to drive responsible procurement practices throughout our supply chain. A Double Materiality Assessment was conducted to identify key material issues across the value chain. This assessment will inform a revision of the Procurement ESG policy in 2025. This initiative applies to all Melexis entities and involves all colleagues worldwide who engage with third-party suppliers on behalf of Melexis. Supplier control framework In 2025, Melexis will implement a supplier control framework to manage strategic relationships, supply resilience, performance, value chain ESG, compliance, cost and contractual obligations. This framework establishes clear guidelines for controlling supplier interactions and mitigating associated risks, addressing material impacts on value chain workers. Beyond Supplier Code of Conduct compliance, we will enhance ESG considerations in the sourcing and selection process and integrate ESG into the supplier control framework. In 2025, we continue working on the supplier management policy which will incorporate periodic monitoring reviews, grievance mechanisms and supplier training. Continuous monitoring mechanisms, such as questionnaires, regular reporting, and corrective actions, will enable Melexis to track supplier practices related to value chain workers and foster ongoing partnership improvements. This supplier control framework will be applicable to all Melexis entities. Time-bound and outcome-oriented targets S2-5 Supplier Code of Conduct Melexis will measure the percentage of spend with suppliers with whom we have an agreement regarding our Supplier Code of Conduct, relative to the total annual spend. This aligns with our commitment to responsible sourcing, as outlined in our Supplier Code of Conduct. We reached more than 83% compliance end-2024, meaning that suppliers representing 83% of our annual spend are committed to adhere to our general vision on sustainability, work environment and business conduct. Melexis now targets 85% by end-2025. To ensure compliance, all new suppliers must acknowledge the Melexis Supplier Code of Conduct or provide an equivalent alternative as part of the onboarding process. Performance against the target will be monitored and reported regularly. This target related to the Supplier Code of Conduct covers such topics as adequate wages, health and safety, gender equality and equal pay for work of equal value, diversity, child and forced labor, social dialogue, work-life balance, employment and inclusion of persons with disabilities, and measures against violence and harassment in the workplace, as the Supplier Code of Conduct explicitly includes commitments related to each of these topics. Supplier ESG questionnaire To ensure compliance, BOM suppliers must complete the Supplier ESG questionnaire as part of the onboarding process. This questionnaire provides Melexis with insights into the ESG performance of its strategic suppliers and serve as a basis for ongoing ESG-related communication and supplier development actions. The Procurement team originally set a target to achieve 80% compliance by end-2024 and actually achieved 91% compliance at end-2024, meaning that 91% of our strategic suppliers (measured by spend) completed the ESG questionnaire. For 2025, the target is to stay above 85% by end-2025. This target aligns with the Melexis commitment to responsible sourcing, as outlined in our Supplier Code of Conduct. Compliance is measured by the percentage of spend with suppliers Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 95 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report who have completed our Supplier ESG questionnaire, relative to the total annual spend in the previous year. Performance against the target will be monitored and reported regularly. Because the target is fixed, and relative to the spend, baseline value or baseline year are not applicable. The Supplier ESG questionnaire covers topics such as adequate wages, health and safety, gender equality and equal pay for work of equal value, diversity, child and forced labor, as it includes questions directly requesting disclosure of information on these topics. Procurement training The goal of ESG training is to enhance the social, governance, and environmental knowledge, awareness, and compliance by our procurement team, enabling them to create sustainable and business added- value for Melexis. Regular training sessions on ESG topics will be made available to all procurement team members, including new hires, as part of their onboarding program. Melexis aimed to achieve a 95% attendance rate for procurement-invited members in ESG training sessions from 2023 onwards. This target is being measured by the percentage of invited members who attend the training sessions and aligns with Melexis commitment to responsible sourcing, as outlined in our Supplier Code of Conduct. All of our targets are overseen by the Global Procurement Director. Because adequate housing, secure employment, training and skills development are not considered material topics for our value chain based on today's knowledge, we do not set related targets.

Description of types of consumers and end-users impacted The type of consumers and/or end-users impacted by Melexis products are those consumers and/or end-users who are dependent on accurate and accessible product-related information, such as manuals and product labels. The quality of our products is crucial to consumers and/or end-users. Melexis has not experienced any systemic or widespread problems. Any negative impacts have been limited to individual incidents, such as quality issues within particular product lines. The positive impacts we have identified concern the fact that Melexis efforts on product quality could contribute to an increase in the overall product quality in the semiconductor business, which ultimately benefits all consumers and end-users. Melexis recognizes that enhancing our market reputation through high-quality products is a business opportunity which can drive financial growth. Understanding potential risks Melexis has not identified consumers and/or end-users with particular characteristics, or those using particular products or services, that may be at greater risk of harm.

Specifically, the section on 'Product safety and consumer rights' in our Code of Conduct addresses the continuous improvement of our product quality which has been identified as our main material impact in relation to consumers and end-users. In addition to the General Counsel, who oversees the implementation of the Code of Conduct, our Quality Director is responsible for our product quality. Access to information in the value chain and responsible marketing practices in the value chain are not considered to be material topics by Melexis and are therefore not covered by the Code of Conduct. Processes for engaging with Consumers and end-users about impacts S4-2 Melexis operates a business-to-business (B2B) model for the sale of its products. All Melexis direct customers are companies in our downstream value chain. There can be several levels of businesses buying our chips and integrating them in their manufacturing processes. At the final stage of our value chain, end-users buy a product which has our product(s) integrated as components. We do not have direct interactions with end-users and therefore we did not define a process for direct engagement with consumers and end-users. Our customers engage with their end-users and consumers in accordance with their own processes. However, the contact form available on our website is available for everyone and can be considered as a channel for consumers and end-users to directly engage with Melexis. Engagement We build our comprehensive knowledge of consumers’ and end-users’ perspectives through our active engagement with our B2B customers. Our continual engagement with customers is carried out through means such as regular customer visits, top management meetings and customer surveys. Our objective of engaging with our customers is to be known, to gain broad and deep knowledge of consumers’ and end-users’ perspectives and to bring solutions to our customers by addressing those perspectives. This objective is cascaded through the organization and quantified by its KPIs, such as pipeline growth for Sales, product launch for Business Unit or product quality performance for Quality. The observations derived from customer engagement guide our decision-making as they are discussed internally at sales meetings and at meetings of senior management if relevant. The product strategy defined by our Business Units is responsible for taking consumers’ and end-users’ needs and expectations into account in strategic decision-making. The most senior role within Melexis that has operational responsibility for ensuring effective engagement with affected consumers and/or end-users is the CEO. We understand how crucial product quality and safety are for consumers and end-users, and we are committed to maintain consistently high product quality and safety while also continually improving. Processes to remediate negative impacts for Consumers and end-users and channels to raise concern S4-3 Our approach Remedy for negative impacts Any product complaints received at Melexis are thoroughly investigated internally and supported by external parties such as laboratories if required. A standardized return process for products, RMA (return material authorization), is available on our website. A recall process is followed in the event of any product safety risks to ensure that all potentially harmful products are removed from the market. Melexis employs a robust quality assurance process that requires root cause analysis for any product non-conformities. In the event of such occurrences, we promptly implement corrective actions, and take follow-up measures to engage with affected customers and end-users to ensure their satisfaction with the resolution provided. Specific channels for consumers Our customers and their stakeholders are also encouraged to raise concerns about potential wrongdoing through our Speak-up procedure, which is accessible on our website. Melexis, however, does not actively require its business partners to establish or support such channels. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 98 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Tracking and monitoring At Melexis, every voice matters. We ensure that every concern raised finds a listening ear and an effective solution. Our processes are the same as for our value chain workers as described in more detail in S2-2. Trust drives our commitment to sustainability and ethical business practices. We track the quality performances at corporate level, at Business Unit level, at product line level as well as at product level. Action on Consumer and end-user's material impacts S4-4 Addressing material impacts Our products are integral parts of many critical systems in automobiles and industrial or commercial products. We therefore attach particular importance to constantly controlling and improving the quality of our products. Melexis relies on (1) a strong quality management system supporting the development, the validation & the manufacturing of our products and on (2) a continuous improvement mindset to ensure high quality standards expected by the consumers and the end users. Actions and initiatives Our quality management system fundamentals are built around ISO 9001 (Quality Management System), IATF16949 (Automotive Quality Management System) and ISO 14001 (Environment Management System) standards; and complemented by the adoption of, and compliance to, standards relevant to the markets addressed (for example, Automotive Product Development and Validation: AIAG toolbox, AEC-Q100, ISO 26262, ISO 21434, ASPICE). All Melexis certificates are publicly available on our website. We prioritize the constant improvement of the Melexis Quality Management System. In pursuit of this objective, we implement a zero-incident program consistent with corporate and functional strategic initiatives, encompassing the entire product lifecycle and associated support processes. The above actions are managed by cross-functional teams at Melexis and in close partnership with our suppliers. Improvement projects are managed through the Melexis Project Management Office, to which financial resources are allocated. As part of the zero-incident program, we are securing our supply chain by strengthening our current supplier partnerships while also diversifying our Foundry and OSAT supplier base. These initiatives will be continued in 2025. Melexis is certifying its Information Security Management System according to the requirements of the ISO 27001 standard and TISAX. ISO 27001 certification has been obtained in March 2025; TISAX certification should follow in the course of 2025. No severe human rights issues connected to our consumers or end-users were reported in 2024. Time-bound and outcome-oriented targets S4-5 Melexis recognizes the importance of having a positive impact on its consumers and end-users while simultaneously managing material risks and opportunities. As such, we have set specific, outcome- oriented targets for the year. Melexis goal and responsibility is to achieve zero incidents. Incidents, irrespective of their origin or nature, are systematically addressed through a well-established 8D problem-solving methodology. This process encompasses incident definition, immediate containment measures, root cause analysis, risk assessment, and corrective and preventive actions. Depending on the origin and nature of the incident, various key performance indicators are defined. For instance “Cost of Yield” and “Part Per Billion - ppb” are used to monitor Melexis performance from a customer perspective. Our current performance is below the 500 parts-per-billion (ppb) benchmark, as determined by customer feedback, encompassing line, zero-kilometer, and field failures, pro-rated by the quantity of units shipped over a defined period. The 2028-2030 objective has been established at 250 ppb. Notably, this target has already been attained by a limited number of product lines, including Latch & Switch and Magnetic Position Sensors. Given that both zero-incident and part-per-billion targets are absolute, and not relative, no baseline year or value are applicable. All incidents and all Melexis products are included in scope of the target.

Our Board of Directors and Executive Management play a key role in fostering a company culture of sustainable growth while adhering to the highest standards of ethical business conduct. The role of the Board of Directors and Executive Management Our Board of Directors ensures all operations are conducted within a framework of integrity and accountability. It has established three committees to oversee and safeguard responsible business conduct and practices across all levels of the organization. These are: the Audit Committee, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, and the ESG Committee. More information can be found in ESRS 2-GOV-1. Executive Management integrates sustainability principles into our business strategy and takes an active role in defining sustainability goals, monitoring progress, and encouraging a workplace culture that emphasizes ethical conduct and environmental stewardship. Through active collaboration with the ESG Team and various other departments, our Executive Management ensures that business conduct aligns with our sustainability objectives. The expertise of the Board of Directors and Executive Management on Business conduct Our Board of Directors and Executive Management comprise individuals with rich and diverse experience in various sectors, enabling a holistic approach to business conduct matters. They are also trained in environmental governance and corporate social responsibility, giving them the knowledge and skills to effectively guide Melexis on its sustainability journey and to navigate the complexities of sustainable business conduct.

Specifically for Business conduct, we assessed all activities and locations where we operate to evaluate whether any transactions raise concerns regarding ethical practices. As no instances of business conduct breaches were identified, this section will focus on our approach to ensuring responsible business practices across the Melexis Group. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 102 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Business conduct policies and Corporate culture G1-1 Melexis has several policies with respect to business ethics that support our corporate commitment to integrity, honesty and fairness. These include the Melexis Code of Conduct and the Melexis Global Speak-up policy, as explained above in S1-1, and which are both overseen by our General Counsel. Melexis business conduct policies guide the behavior of our workforce in all business activities. They should be considered alongside Melexis values, which are the essence of the Melexis identity. These values support our vision, shape our company’s culture, and reflect what we deem important. ‘The Melexis Way’ truly represents the essence of our identity and guides us in everything we do. We encourage the continuous development and evaluation of our corporate culture through periodic reviews, employee onboarding and training, and stakeholder engagement. Mechanisms for reporting unlawful behavior As part of our Speak-up procedure, both internal and external stakeholders may report any concerns about unlawful behavior or behavior that contradicts our Code of Conduct, our values or other Melexis policies. Such reports are followed up and investigated by designated personnel, being the General Counsel and Internal Auditor. Whistleblower protection Melexis colleagues are encouraged to raise concerns if they experience, witness or learn of unlawful harassment, discrimination or unethical behavior. Our internal Speak-up policy has long been implemented to increase transparency and stimulate the internal reporting of any concerns regarding unethical behavior or incidents. This allows Melexis to investigate and remediate any reported concerns before they escalate. Importantly, all individuals who report good-faith concerns are protected from retaliation. All Melexis employees can submit reports via easily accessible channels and tools, anonymously (if allowed by local law). Employees are regularly reminded of the policy and the available reporting channels through internal communications. Our Speak-up policy has been updated in accordance with the EU Whistleblowing Directive and national legislation to ensure that our colleagues, but also external stakeholders, have complete knowledge of how and where to report their concerns and how their reports will be processed. Melexis has furthermore introduced an online reporting tool, accessible by internal as well as external stakeholders, to ensure anonymous reporting (if allowed by local law) and follow-up, if the whistleblower wishes to stay anonymous throughout the entire reporting process. Anyone reporting a case of possible questionable conduct can expect a careful, fast, respectful and discreet examination of his or her report by dedicated staff appointed and appropriately informed to receive and examine such reports. Any act that is inconsistent with our Code of Conduct will be promptly corrected and is subject to (disciplinary) action, up to and including termination. Training on the Speak-up procedure within Melexis is part of our annual Code of Conduct training, which is mandatory for the entire Melexis workforce. Melexis personnel responsible for receiving and investigating reports, are also trained on how to do so. Procedures for investigating business conduct incidents In addition to the Speak-up procedure (and any investigations that follow reports made under that procedure), Melexis Internal Auditor, together with the General Counsel, investigate business conduct incidents brought to their attention, including reported incidents of corruption and bribery, promptly, independently and objectively. Any findings of investigations are submitted to the CEO and CFO. Findings of investigations by the Internal Auditor are also reported to the Board of Directors and discussed within the Audit Committee. Business conduct training policy When new hires are onboarded, they receive a business conduct training module during their induction program. In addition, via the training material on our Code of Conduct (found on our learning tool on the Melexis University platform), it is mandatory for all Melexis employees to follow the Code of Conduct training once a year. Sessions are also organized for all our colleagues in production, where relevant topics of our Code of Conduct are explained. The onboarding training, as well as the annual mandatory training and the training for production, cover all topics discussed in the Code of Conduct, including business ethics. At end-2024, we created a new quiz with questions on certain topics related to the Code of Conduct, including business conduct topics. We continually enhance our global business ethics training program. High-risk functions Within Melexis, the functions that are most at risk in respect of corruption and bribery are functions within procurement, sales and business development, supply chain, finance and management functions. Corporate culture actions and resources To strengthen the integration of the Melexis Way, we cultivate a culture of autonomy, entrepreneurship, and fast and effective decision-making based on the five principles described in the Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 103 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report What we stand for section. Advocating this culture, volunteers at each Melexis location work on behalf of their chosen good causes, and Melexis supports them with the resources they need. Social engagement is a key theme of our colleagues' charitable work. One example of giving back even in difficult circumstances is the Melexis team in Ukraine. Despite facing ongoing challenges and disruptions from the war, Melexis Kyiv team continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience and commitment to delivering high-quality work, as evidenced by customer appraisals. In 2024, the team continued to contribute to the restoration of Ukraine. The Kyiv team decided to reallocate company anniversary funds to support the restoration of the National Children's Specialized Hospital "Okhmatdyt" following missile damage. Further contributions focused on community rebuilding, including providing books for a destroyed village, renovating a shelter in a kindergarten, and sourcing employee New Year gifts from local businesses affected by the war. This year's initiatives across Melexis to give back to local communities range from donating food vouchers and equipment, clean-up days, fundraising through hamburger and waffle sales and charity bazaars, to collecting second-hand clothing and toys. Well-being is another theme embedded in Melexis DNA. In 2024, FIT initiatives that promote healthy mind, body and planet through sports activities, took place all over Melexis. Melexis sponsored employees' participation in city cycling or running, organized educational sessions on topics like brain- friendly work, and events like Car Free Day and badminton tournament. Left A football match between Melexis Erfurt and X-FAB to support Spirit of Football's Fair Play Future project RightMelexis Kuching team during the Autism Run in support of better education for people with autism in Sarawak, Malaysia Since the inception of Melexis, the topic of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education, with a focus on fostering inclusivity in STEM, has been woven into the fabric of our company culture. The STEM team promotes STEM education among local communities by organizing workshops and educational camps, together with local schools and universities, to inspire future generations to pursue careers in STEM. In 2024, Melexis Bulgaria delivered free technical lectures to university and school students and provided technical practice opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience. Melexis Belgium organized summer STEM camps, and provided software and hardware that can be reused by school teachers. Melexis Switzerland invited young people to the "Future in all genders" event, where gender stereotypes around gender-associated professions were examined. We advocate the Melexis values of inclusivity and collaboration beyond the company, for example by being an industry partner of the European Chip Skills Academy (ECSA) and a contributor at the European Chip Diversity Alliance. Together with other industry, education, and research organizations we develop educational platforms, events, and programs aimed at building a skilled and diverse workforce for the European semiconductor industry. In scope of these European projects, our Chairwoman, Françoise Chombar, participated in a panel discussion at SEMICON Europa 2024, focused on attracting diverse talent to microelectronics.

In 2024, our efforts were recognized by several awards. The Excellence Award for Strategic Talent Development and Leadership Cultivation at the 7th Microelectronics Talent China Conference 2024 highlighted Melexis belief that our people are our greatest asset. We continue to invest in training, growth opportunities, and a supportive framework that empowers colleagues to thrive and make a real impact.

Left Melexis Sofia team at the Operational Excellence Award ceremony RightHarry Zhao, Regional People & Workplace Manager APAC, received a Melexis Excellence Award for Strategic Talent Development and Leadership Cultivation Management of relationships with suppliers G1-2 Melexis is committed to responsible and sustainable supply chain management. This means building strong relationships with our suppliers. We actively engage with them to enhance accountability and promote sustainable value creation throughout the supply chain. To prevent late payments, particularly to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), we have implemented a standard payment term of 30 days. With a few exceptions, this payment term is included in the supplier contracts. More details on the payments to suppliers can be found in G1-6. Our supplier framework serves as a foundational structure that ensures consistency in how suppliers are selected, evaluated and engaged throughout our partnership in all relevant supplier management domains, such as strategic relation communication, supply resilience, supplier performance, value chain ESG, supplier compliance and regulation, cost management, plus contractual obligation and expectations. In 2025, Melexis will implement effective strategic/key supplier control measures which outline the framework for managing and overseeing supplier relationships in each of these domains. By doing so, clear guidelines for controlling supplier interactions and mitigation of associated risks are established. Melexis actively considers social and environmental criteria when selecting suppliers. The Supplier Code of Conduct lists the requirements with respect to sustainability, commitments in the work environment, commitments in doing business and requirements with respect to information, in line with the Melexis guiding principles. Melexis expects all our suppliers, contractors and subcontractors to comply with these requirements. This Supplier Code of Conduct is an integral part of our business contracts, and compliance with the code is a prerequisite for business partners to be selected to do business with Melexis. The Procurement ESG policy integrates a comprehensive commitment to environmental, social and governance principles throughout the procurement process. This policy is an integrated part of the overall Procurement Policy. It is applicable to all entities of Melexis and covers all colleagues worldwide conducting business with third parties/suppliers on behalf of Melexis. The Procurement ESG policy outlines the ESG governance, the purpose of the ESG questionnaire and Code of Conduct, the purpose of ESG clauses in supplier contracts, ESG trainings for the procurement team, Scope 3 upstream carbon footprint monitoring and improvement. In conclusion, at Melexis we are committed to building strong, sustainable partnerships with our suppliers. We work closely with them to minimize environmental impact and ensure ethical practices. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 105 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Prevention and detection of corruption or bribery G1-3 At Melexis we do not engage in, nor condone, bribery and corruption. We consider these practices to be directly opposed to our values and to have a negative impact on the competitive conditions of the market. We recognize that failure to prevent bribery and corruption may lead to substantial reputational harm, regulatory sanctions, financial losses, and diminished stakeholder confidence, ultimately affecting the Melexis brand value and competitive standing. We compete and win over customers by virtue of our product quality and the value of our services alone. In line with our commitment to integrity, we have established policies and procedures to prevent, detect, and respond to allegations or incidents of corruption and bribery. Below is an overview of these procedures. Prevention and detection procedures Melexis has several procedures in place to prevent, detect, and address allegations or incidents of corruption and bribery. As a starting principle, we have a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of bribery or corruption, as mentioned in the Melexis Code of Conduct. All Melexis personnel can report any incidents of bribery or corruption through our Speak-up procedure, which is explained in further detail in G1-1 and which is in line with the requirements of European and applicable national laws. Alternatively, incidents of bribery and corruption can be investigated and handled by our internal audit procedures, which are also described above. Melexis has a separate function of internal auditor, who reports to the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee. Similarly, under our Speak-up procedure, we have colleagues separate from the chain of management involved in the matter who receive, investigate and follow up on any reports received. Since there are two confidential advisors appointed within Melexis own workforce to receive and investigate all Speak-up reports, one can always report a concern to an independent investigator who is separate from the chain of management involved in the matter. The two confidential advisors are Melexis General Counsel and Melexis Internal Auditor. Following the investigation of a Speak-up report, an assessment is submitted to the CEO and CFO with a detailed description of the findings and all supporting documents, indicating whether the report is well-founded or unfounded. Similarly, the Internal Auditor reports back to the Board of Directors and Audit Committee on findings of conducted investigations. We create continual awareness regarding the Code of Conduct via various channels, including the ESG newsletter, and we continually enhance our global business ethics training program. This is to ensure commitment to the Code of Conduct by all our employees. When new hires are onboarded, they receive a training module during their induction program. Via the training material about the Code of Conduct on our learning tool on the Melexis University platform, all Melexis employees can refresh their knowledge on the Code of Conduct at any time. Sessions are also organized for all our colleagues in production, during which we explain the relevant topics of our Code of Conduct. Training programs (a) Anti-bribery and anti-corruption is part of the yearly mandatory training and test on the Melexis Code of Conduct, as explained above. (b) 100% of the functions-at-risk, listed under G1-1 have been covered by our yearly training program, as this training is mandatory for all Melexis personnel. (c) Melexis Executive Management participates in the mandatory yearly training. The Board of Directors receives a separate yearly training, given by Melexis General Counsel. Melexis believes in doing business the right way: honestly and openly. We are dedicated to the highest ethical standards. Incidents of corruption or bribery G1-4 Melexis is committed to ethical business practices and prohibits any form of bribery or corruption. These practices contradict our core values and are not tolerated within our organization. In line with this commitment, we hereby disclose the following information regarding incidents of corruption or bribery during the reporting period of 2024. Convictions and fines In 2024, Melexis received two whistleblowing reports through its Speak-up tool. Neither of these reports concerned corruption or bribery. Consequently, there were zero instances where individuals were convicted for violations of anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, and, the total amount in fines imposed related to incidents of corruption or bribery amounted to zero. Given there were no breaches, Melexis did not have to take any actions in this regard. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 106 à Key material topics à Stakeholder engagement à Environmental report à Social report à Governance report Payment practices G1-6 At Melexis, we value transparency and understand that timely payments are important, especially for smaller businesses. We believe in building strong relationships with all our suppliers and treating them fairly. That is why we carefully review our payment terms conditions to ensure we are paying within a reasonable time while taking into account efficient cash-management. Our analysis indicates that, on average, Melexis takes around 34 days to settle an invoice from the date the contractual or statutory payment term begins. This calculation was derived using all payment transactions carried out over the last fiscal year. Melexis applies an automated bi-weekly payment schedule. Standard payment terms As described under G1-2, Melexis standard payment term is 30 days net which is applicable for around 69% of all our suppliers of all sizes. On average, 59% of Melexis supplier payments are made within the agreed payment term. Due to our automated bi-monthly payment schedule, invoices with due dates falling between payment runs will inevitably be paid outside the agreed payment terms. For this reason, Melexis applies a threshold in its calculations for timely payments of 5 days, which leads to the fact that on average, 41% of Melexis supplier payments are paid outside the agreed payment term with an average of only +2 days above the threshold. As of 2025, Melexis will gradually change the payment term towards 30 days end-of-month which will increase the efficiency of the cash-management process and will ensure more alignment with the agreed payment terms of the suppliers. Legal proceedings for late payments As of the reporting period, there were zero material legal proceedings in progress related to late payments.

The full text of the Code 2020 can be found on the website of the Belgian Corporate Governance Committee, both in English and Dutch. Melexis Corporate Governance Charter can be consulted on our website. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 109 Shareholders Melexis seeks to guarantee transparent and clear communication with its shareholders. Active participation of the shareholders is encouraged by Melexis. In order to achieve this goal, the shareholders can find all important and relevant information on our website. Melexis publishes its annual reports, half-year reports, statutory reports, quarterly results and the financial calendar on its website in the section ‘Investor Relations’. Melexis realizes that the publication of these reports and information benefits its trust- based relationship with its shareholders and other stakeholders. Furthermore, Melexis is committed to guaranteeing shareholder rights: • Shareholders can submit questions to the company (at the latest six days) prior to the annual shareholders’ meeting in order to have those questions answered during the meeting. • At the latest 30 days prior to the annual shareholders’ meeting, the agenda and other relevant documents are published on our website. • Shareholders representing at least 3% of the share capital have the right to add items and/or resolution proposals to the agenda at the latest 22 days prior to the annual shareholders’ meeting. • During the annual shareholders’ meeting, shareholders have the right to vote on each item on the agenda. In case they cannot attend the meeting, they have the right to appoint a proxy holder. • The minutes of the annual shareholders’ meeting with the voting results will be published on our website after the meeting. Management structure The Board of Directors determines the strategic direction of Melexis and supervises the state of affairs within Melexis. The Board of Directors is assisted in its role by an Audit Committee and a Nomination and Remuneration Committee. These board committees have an advisory function. Only the Board of Directors has the decision-making power. The daily management of Melexis has been delegated by the Board of Directors to the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Marc Biron, who can represent the company by his sole signature within the framework of the daily management. For actions that fall outside the scope of daily management, Melexis is validly represented by two directors acting jointly. The Chief Executive Officer is also the Chair of the Executive Management. The Executive Management is responsible for leading Melexis in accordance with the global strategy, values, planning and budgets approved by the Board of Directors. Besides that, the Executive Management is responsible for screening the various risks and opportunities that the company might encounter in the short, medium or longer term, and for ensuring that systems are in place to identify and address these risks and opportunities. Board of Directors Composition In accordance with article 13 of Melexis Articles of Association, the Board of Directors consists of at least 5 members, of which at least three members are independent in accordance with article 7:87 of the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations. The Board of Directors is composed of at least 50% of non-executive members and at least one executive member. Independent directors qualify as non-executive directors. The directors are appointed by the majority of the votes cast at the annual shareholders’ meeting for a period of four years. In the same way, the annual shareholders’ meeting may revoke a director at any time. There is no age limit for directors and directors with an expiring mandate can be reappointed within the limits stipulated in the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations. Currently, the Chief Executive Officer is the only member of the Board of Directors that has an executive mandate. The Chair of the Board is Ms. Françoise Chombar. The Board of Directors aims to achieve the largest possible diversity and complementarity between the board members.

Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 112 Appointment and replacement of directors The Articles of Association (Articles 13 and following) and the Melexis Corporate Governance Charter contain specific rules concerning the (re-)appointment, induction and evaluation of directors. Directors are appointed for a term not exceeding four years by the annual shareholders’ meeting, which can also revoke their mandate at any time. An appointment or dismissal requires a simple majority of the votes cast. If and when a position of a director prematurely becomes vacant within the Board, the remaining directors temporarily appoint a new director until the annual shareholders’ meeting appoints a new director. Said appointment will then be included in the agenda of the next annual shareholders’ meeting. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee submits a reasoned recommendation to the Board on the nomination of directors and equally makes recommendations to the Board on the remuneration policy for directors and the Executive Management. Functioning of the Board of Directors The terms of reference of the Board of Directors are part of the Corporate Governance Charter. In 2024, the Board convened eight (8) times and treated, among others, the following topics: • Financial results of the Group • Financial and legal risks to which the Group is exposed • Strategic review • Dividend policy • Budget for the next financial year • Asia strategy • Supply chain & OPS strategy • Share buy-back program • Recommendations of the Audit Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee • CSRD / recommendations of the ESG Committee. Ms. Martine Baelmans was excused from the meeting of the Board of Directors on 4 April. Evaluation of the Board and its Committees The effectiveness of the Board of Directors and its Committees is monitored and reviewed every three years in order to achieve possible improvements in the management of Melexis.

In the evaluation, special attention is paid to: • The functioning of the Board of Directors and its relevant committees • The thoroughness with which important issues are prepared and discussed • The effectiveness of the interaction with the Executive Management • The quality of the information provided • The individual contribution of each member of the Board. The overall outcome of the evaluation was very positive. Providing detailed (technical) information, including related risks and risk mitigation, well on time, to each Director remains key.

In 2024, there were no events resulting in the application of article 7:97 BCCA. Other transactions with directors and Executive Management As determined by the Melexis Corporate Governance Charter, members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management have to refrain from any action that could raise an impression of being in conflict with the interests of the company. Therefore, any transaction between a director or a member of the Executive Management and the company has to be reported to the Chair of the Board of Directors. In 2024, there were no transactions between the company and its directors or a member of the Executive Management involving a conflict of interest. All related party transactions were made on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s length transactions. Insider trading Melexis developed an Insider Trading Policy to comply with the European and Belgian provisions on Insider Trading and Market Abuse. In this respect, a list is kept up to date of all people with managerial responsibilities as well as all other people who have access to sensitive information related to the Melexis share. The purpose of the Melexis Insider Trading Policy is to prevent the abuse of inside information. Before trading any company shares, the members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management have to receive the green light from the Compliance Officer and have to report back once the transaction has been completed. Furthermore, in compliance with the same legislation, the members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management as well as their closely associated persons have to notify all their transactions above a certain threshold in Melexis shares to the Belgian Financial Services and Markets Authority, who will publish these notices on its website. Compliance with the Melexis Insider Trading Policy is supported and verified by the Compliance Officer. Internal control and risk assessment procedures in relation to financial reporting The internal control and risk assessment procedures in relation to the process of financial reporting are coordinated by the CFO. Such procedures have to ensure that the financial reporting is based on reliable information and that the continuity of the financial reporting in conformity with the IFRS accounting principles is guaranteed. The process of internal control in relation to the financial reporting is based on the following principles: • Data on transactions or use of assets of the company are registered accurately and saved in an automated global enterprise resource planning (ERP) system by the different Melexis functions. • Accounting transactions are registered in globally standardized operating charts of accounts. • The financial information is prepared and reported in the first instance by the accounting teams in the different legal entities of Melexis worldwide. • Subsequently, the finance managers at the different Melexis sites will review the prepared and reported local financial information before sending it to the Global Finance Department. • In the Global Finance Department, the financial information will receive its final review before it is included in the consolidated financial statements. • All Melexis sites use the same software for the reporting of the financial data for consolidation. • Random checks are made to assure that: – Transactions have been saved as required for the preparation of the financial accounts in conformity with the IFRS accounting principles. – Transactions have been approved by the authorized persons of the company. Melexis is validly represented by the sole signature of the CEO for all aspects of the daily management of the company. Specific powers are granted to members of the Executive Management to represent Melexis in matters that relate to the function for which they are responsible. For actions that fall outside the scope of the daily management, the company is validly represented by two directors acting together. In the event of detection of certain deficiencies, this will be reported to the Executive Management to determine which appropriate measures can be taken. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 119 The risk assessment in connection with the financial reporting is based on the following principles: • Risks that the company is confronted with are detected and monitored with the responsible persons of the different functions of the company. • By using an automated ERP system, the responsible persons of the functions have permanent access to the financial information with regard to their function for monitoring, controlling and directing purposes with regard to their business activities. • Closing the accounts at the end of every month warrants that the financial consequences of the identified risks are monitored closely to be able to anticipate possible adverse evolutions. • The financial results are also reviewed monthly on a global level. • A data protection system based on antivirus software, internal and external backup of data and the controlling of access rights to information, protects the company's information and guarantees the continuity of the financial reporting. The adequacy and integrity of these IT systems and procedures are reviewed regularly. • In accordance with the 2020 Belgian Code on Corporate Governance, Melexis has set up an internal audit function, whose resources and skills are adapted to assess the financial reporting and the risk management of the company. The Audit Committee receives a periodic summary of the internal audit activities.

The Board of Directors is furthermore not aware of any restrictions imposed by law on the transfer of shares by any shareholder, except in the framework of market abuse regulations. Restrictions on the exercise of voting rights Each share entitles the holder to one vote. The Articles of Association contain no restrictions on the voting rights and each shareholder can exercise his voting rights provided that he is validly admitted to the annual shareholders' meeting and his rights have not been suspended.

No one can vote at the annual shareholders' meeting using voting rights attached to securities that have not been reported in due time in accordance with the Articles of Association and with the law. The Board is not aware of any other restrictions imposed by law on the exercise of voting rights. Agreements among shareholders The Board of Directors is not aware of any agreements among shareholders that may result in restrictions on the transfer of securities or the exercise of voting rights. Amendments to the Articles of Association The Articles of Association can be amended by an Extraordinary General Meeting in accordance with the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations. Each amendment to the Articles of Association - including capital increases or reductions, mergers, demergers and a winding up - in general requires an attendance quorum of 50% of the subscribed capital and acceptance by a qualified majority of 75% of the votes cast. More stringent majority requirements have to be complied with in a number of cases, such as the modification of the corporate object or the company form. Authorities of the Board of Directors to issue, buy back or dispose of own shares The Articles of Association do not mention any special authorities granted to the Board of Directors to increase the registered capital.

On 31 December 2024, the Melexis Group was in the possession of 77,200 shares in the registered capital of the company. Termination of management agreements All management agreements with the members of the Executive Management provide for a severance payments equal to twelve months' fixed remuneration if the management agreement is terminated due to a change of control. Other elements The company has not issued securities with special control rights. No agreements have been concluded between the company and its directors or employees providing for a compensation if, as a result of a take-over bid, the directors resign or are made redundant without valid reason or if the employment of the employees is terminated. Auditor PwC Bedrijfsrevisoren BV, whose registered office is situated at Culliganlaan 5, 1831 Machelen, listed in the Register for Legal Entities of Brussels with company number 429.501.944, was appointed as statutory auditor of the company. Ms. Mieke Van Leeuwe, auditor, was appointed as the permanent representative of the auditor. Compliance with the 2020 Belgian Code on Corporate Governance Melexis does not grant shares, options or other rights to acquire shares to the members of its Executive Management. Contrary to recommendation 7.9 of the Code 2020, the members of the Executive Management are not required to hold a minimum threshold of shares in the company. Melexis strongly believes in the self-determination theory (by Edward L. Deci and Richard M. Ryan, psychologists at the University of Rochester) arguing that contingent rewards can have detrimental effects on intrinsic motivation, creativity and innovation. Within Melexis, we focus on intrinsic value creation for the company; the share price is a result thereof. The financial numbers which impact the level of the business component of the variable remuneration, i.e. revenue growth and EBIT growth, are important elements driving the valuation of the company. As such, we believe there is a clear alignment between shareholders on the one hand and management and the Melexis community on the other. Also directors do not receive shares in the company as part of their remuneration. The latter deviates from recommendation 7.6 of the Code 2020 for non-executive Directors. The purpose of the recommendation is to better align the interests of non-executive directors with the long-term shareholder interest. At Melexis, that long-term shareholder perspective is sufficiently represented on the Board of Directors since two directors, one of whom is Chair, are important (indirect) shareholders of the company.

The bought back shares are held as treasury shares for a total amount of EUR 4.4 million or 77,200 shares per 31 December 2024. An amount of EUR 0.3 million is included in the balance sheet section L. Other Current Liabilities (section "other") which refers to the purchase of shares by the independent financial intermediary which were not settled by Melexis as per 31 December 2024. 1 The decrease in other non-current assets is mainly due to the advance payments in 2023 to our main supplier.

Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 127 à Consolidated Financial Statements à Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Result of operations The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the company's financial statements from previous years. Revenue In 2024, total revenue decreased by 3% compared with 2023, from EUR 964,297,902 in 2023 to EUR 932,808,067 in 2024. APAC continued being the largest region for Melexis, representing 60% of total sales in 2024, led by China, Hong Kong and Japan with respectively EUR 117,137,557, EUR 137,293,848 and EUR 83,790,918 in sales. EMEA, being the second largest region for Melexis, accounted for 31% of total sales. NALA comes in third, accounting for 9% of sales in 2024. Revenue by region NALA 9% NALA 11% EMEA 31% EMEA 31% 2024 2023 APAC 60% APAC 58% Cost of sales Cost of sales consists of materials (raw materials and semi-finished parts), subcontracting, labor, depreciation and other direct production expenses. The cost of sales amounted to EUR 531,457,147 in 2024 compared with 524,077,489 in 2023. Expressed as a percentage of total revenue, the cost of sales increased from 54% in 2023 to 57% in 2024. Gross margin The gross margin, expressed as a percentage of total revenues, decreased from 46% in 2023 to 43% in 2024. This decrease is a combination of lower sales and a normalization after a positive contribution from inventory effects in the previous year. Research and development expenses Research and development expenses amounted to EUR 110,251,974 in 2024, representing 12% of total revenue, versus EUR 106,731,643 in 2023. The main research and development activities focused on current sensors, magnetic sensors, inductive sensors, pressure sensors, temperature sensors, optical sensors, sensor interfaces, embedded motor drivers, embedded lighting, smart motor drivers and latch & switch. General, administrative and selling expenses General, administrative and selling expenses mainly consisted of salaries and salary related expenses, depreciation charges and external services & fees. The general, administrative and selling expenses increased by 2% compared to 2023. The variance is mainly attributable to an increase in depreciation charges of the new building in Kuching. Income from operations The company recorded an operational income of EUR 219,889,102 for 2024, compared to EUR 261,250,178 in 2023, a decrease of 16%, mainly impacted by the lower gross margin and the higher research and development and general, administrative and selling expenses . Compared with 2023, the operating margin decreased by 3% to 24%. Financial result The net financial result amounted to EUR 14,568,015 loss in 2024 compared to EUR 8,087,298 loss in 2023. The (net) interest result amounted to a loss of EUR 10,863,545.00 in 2024 compared to a loss of EUR 5,093,878.00 in 2023, mainly due to higher debt. The currency exchange result (both realized and unrealized) amounted to a loss of EUR 3,009,160.00 in 2024, compared to a loss of EUR 1,677,252.00 in 2023. Income taxes Income taxes amounted to EUR 33,874,765 in 2024 compared with EUR 43,699,487 in 2023 (note 1.5.E). Net income The company recorded a net income of 171,446,322 for 2024, a decrease of 18% compared with 2023. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 128 à Consolidated Financial Statements à Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Liquidity, working capital and capital resources Cash and cash deposits amounted to EUR 32,681,024 as of 31 December 2024, compared to EUR 39,348,841 as of 31 December 2023.

Net cash from operating activities, including working capital changes, amounted to EUR 178,189,747. This amount was mainly impacted by changes in accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable. The changes in other (non-)current assets represent a move from other non-current assets to other current assets, as partial repayment of our advance payments of committed wafers are being expected within the year. For more information on this transaction see note 1.5.AD. The cash flow from investing activities was negative by an amount of EUR 52,750,453, mainly as a result of investments in fixed assets amounting to EUR 52,992,655. The cash flow from financing activities was negative by an amount of EUR 132,255,095. This was mainly the result of the 2023 final and 2024 interim dividend payment amounting to EUR 149,480,000. This was partially compensated by the proceeds of long-term debts amounting to EUR 28,662,968.

Melexis did not apply any new IFRS requirements not yet effective in 2024. 1.3 Summary of significant accounting policies The consolidated financial statements of Melexis NV were prepared in according with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the European Union on 1 January 2024. The principal accounting policies adopted when preparing the consolidated financial statements of Melexis NV were as follows: Basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements were prepared under the historical cost convention, except for investments at FVOCI and derivative financial instruments, which were stated at FVTPL as disclosed in the accounting policies hereafter. Use of estimates and judgments The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised when the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. Assumptions and estimates are applied when recognizing and measuring provisions for tax and litigation risks, determining inventory write-downs, assessing the extent to which deferred tax assets will be realized (note 1.5.E), useful lives of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets (note 1.5.I and 1.5.J), setting-up warranty provision and determining the present value of defined benefit obligations (note 1.5.O). Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses/tax attributes carried forward and fair value reserves entries only if it is probable that future taxable profits (based on Melexis' operational plans) are available to use those temporary differences and losses/tax attributes. This includes management's best estimate based on all facts and circumstances. The actual tax results in future periods may differ from the estimate made at the time the deferred taxes are recognized. Other assumptions and estimates are disclosed in the respective notes relevant to the item where the assumptions or estimates were used for measurement (note 1.5.E). Please refer to the accounting policies of inventories, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and provisions in this chapter for the assumptions and estimates. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 131 à Consolidated Financial Statements à Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Presentation currency The euro has been designated as the presentation currency of the Group as Melexis uses the principle of single billing, single sourcing through the Belgian entity Melexis Technologies NV. To consolidate the company and each of its subsidiaries, the financial statements of foreign consolidated subsidiaries, with a non-EUR currency, are translated at year-end exchange rates with respect to the statement of financial position and at the average exchange rate for the year with respect to the income statement. All resulting translation differences are included in a cumulative translation adjustment in equity. Foreign currency transactions Each entity within the Group translates its foreign currency transactions and balances into its functional currency by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction. Exchange rate differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on reporting monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the period or reported in previous financial statements are recognized in the income statement in the period in which they arise. Foreign currency translation Since the introduction of the euro on 1 January 1999, and in accordance with Belgian law, Melexis NV keeps its books and prepares its consolidated financial statements in euro.

Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 132 à Consolidated Financial Statements à Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Principles of consolidation Where the company has control over an investee, it is classified as a subsidiary. The company controls an investee if all three of the following elements are present: power over the investee, exposure to variable returns from the investee, and the ability of the investor to use its power to affect those variable returns. Control is re-assessed whenever facts and circumstances indicate that there may be a change in any of these elements of control. De facto control exists in situations where the company has the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee without holding the majority of the voting rights. In determining whether de facto control exists, the company considers all relevant facts and circumstances, including: • The size of the company's voting rights relative to both the size and dispersion of other parties who hold voting rights • Substantive potential voting rights held by the company and by other parties • Other contractual arrangements • Historic patterns in voting attendance. The consolidated financial statements present the results of the company and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) as if they formed a single entity. Inter-company transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full. The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the acquisition method. In the statement of financial position, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date on which control ceases. The consolidation scope includes on the one hand Melexis NV and its three branch offices being Melexis NV/BO Philippines, Melexis NV/BO France and Melexis NV/BO Taiwan. On the other hand, the subsidiaries being part of the consolidation scope are Melexis Ukraine, Melexis Inc., Melexis GmbH, Melexis Bulgaria EOOD, Melefin NV, Melexis Technologies NV, Melexis Technologies SA, K.K. Melexis Japan Technical Research Center, Melexis Electronic Technology (Shanghai) Co. Ltd, Melexis (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd., Melexis Technologies NV/BO Malaysia, Melexis Dresden GmbH, Melexis France SAS, Melexis Korea Yuhan Hoesa, Xpeqt NV and Xpeqt EOOD. Cash and cash equivalents Cash includes cash on hand and cash in different bank accounts. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Term deposits with a maturity period of more than three months that can be redeemed, subject to the interest income being forfeited, might be classified as cash equivalents if the deposit is held to meet short-term cash needs and there is no significant risk of a change in value as a result of an early withdrawal. Hedging There were no outstanding derivatives as per 31 December 2024 for which Melexis has elected to apply hedge accounting by designating the derivative as a hedging instrument in an eligible relationship. Inventories Inventories, including work-in-progress, are comprised of material, labor and manufacturing overheads and are valued at the lower of cost (determined on FIFO basis) or net realizable value after reserve for obsolete items. Net realizable value is the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion, marketing and distribution. For processed inventories, cost includes the applicable allocation of fixed and variable overhead costs. Unrealizable inventory has been fully written off. Inventory is written off when no sales are expected in the next six months. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings 20-33 years Machinery, equipment and installations 5 years Furniture and vehicles 5 years Computer equipment 3-5 years Mask set 5 years Melexis does capitalize the expenses for masks as tangible assets. A mask is a thin sheet of material from which a pattern has been cut, placed over a semiconductor chip so that an integrated circuit can be formed on the exposed areas. Masks can be used for the lifetime of the product. Therefore, masks are depreciated over the estimated useful lifetime of 5 years. An item of property, plant and equipment is initially measured at its cost. Cost includes: • Its purchase price, including import duties and non- refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates • Any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management • The estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, unless those costs relate to inventories produced during that period. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 133 à Consolidated Financial Statements à Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Expenditures, incurred after the fixed assets have been placed in operation, such as repairs and maintenance and overhaul costs, are included in the statement of comprehensive income, in the period in which the costs are incurred. Depreciation starts when the asset is ready for use. The useful life and depreciation methods are reviewed periodically to ensure that the method and period of depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property, plant and equipment. Investments and other financial assets a Classification The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: • Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI or through profit or loss) • Those to be measured at amortized cost. The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. b Recognition and derecognition Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on trade date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. c Measurement At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss. Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest. Debt instruments Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group's business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Group classifies its debt instruments: • Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognized directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss. • FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets' cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognized in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains/(losses) and impairment expenses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss. • FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognized in profit or loss and presented net within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises. Equity instruments The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group's management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognized in profit or loss as other income when the Group's right to receive payments is established. Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognized in other gains/(losses) in the statement of profit or loss as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 134 à Consolidated Financial Statements à Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements d Impairment From 1 January 2018, the Group assesses, on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortized cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables. Impairment of assets Property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in consolidated income statement. The recoverable amount is the higher amount of an asset's net selling price and value in use. The net selling price is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm's length transaction while value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or, if it is not possible, for the cash-generating unit. Reversal of impairment losses recognized in prior years is recorded when there is an indication that the impairment losses recognized for the asset no longer exist or have decreased. Non-current assets held for sale Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale when: • They are available for immediate sale • Management is committed to a plan to sell • It is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn • An active program to locate a buyer has been initiated • The asset or disposal group is being marketed at a reasonable price in relation to its fair value • A sale is expected to complete within twelve months from the date of classification. Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of: • Their carrying amount immediately prior to being classified as held for sale in accordance with the Group's accounting policy • Fair value less costs of disposal. Following their classification as held for sale, non-current assets (including those in a disposal group) are not depreciated. The results of operations disposed during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income up to the date of disposal. Intangible assets Intangible assets, externally purchased, are measured initially at cost. Intangible assets are recognized if it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the enterprise and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the best estimate of their useful lives. The amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed annually at each financial year end. Melexis does not have intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Amounts paid for licenses are capitalized and then amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected periods of benefit. The expected useful life of licenses is 5 years, IP is 10 years. Business combinations The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the statement of financial position, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases. Goodwill The excess of the cost of an acquisition over the company's interest in the fair value of the net identifiable assets and liabilities acquired as at the date of the exchange transaction is recorded as goodwill and recognized as an asset in the statement of financial position. When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in the statement of comprehensive income. The identifiable assets and liabilities recognized upon acquisition are measured at their fair values as at that date. Any non-controlling interest is stated at the minority's proportion of the fair values. Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition of that foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the company (unless it concerns badwill, this is recognized in the comprehensive income). Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment of goodwill is included in operating profit. Goodwill is tested yearly for impairment losses. Research and development costs According to IAS 38 Par. 57 development costs are capitalized, only if among others the technical and economic feasibility can be proven, the future economic benefits are probable and costs can be reliably measured. Management has reviewed the development expenses based on the IFRS criteria and is of the opinion that the development expenses should be expensed as the existence of an actual market for the output of Melexis’ development efforts can only be demonstrated in a late stage of the project cycle. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 135 à Consolidated Financial Statements à Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Equity The shares of Melexis NV are listed without par value. Melexis' aim in managing its equity is to maintain a healthy financial structure with a minimal dependency on external financing as well as to create shareholders value. Melexis intends to pay out regular (interim) dividends in order to maximize the return on equity for its shareholders. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net result for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Treasury shares Treasury shares are presented in the statement of financial position as a deduction from equity. The acquisition of treasury shares is presented as a change in equity. No gain or loss is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income on the sale, issuance, or cancellation of treasury shares. Consideration received is presented in the financial statements as a change in equity. Provisions A provision is recognized when, and only when an enterprise has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable (i.e. more likely than not) that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of a provision is the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. Warranty claims Even though Melexis has installed elaborate test procedures before commencing delivery of its products, product defects might still arise upon the installation or the end consumer’s use of the product. If such product defects materialize, expensive and time-consuming product modifications might ensue, and further liability claims might arise. Melexis set up a warranty provision which is based on a reliable estimate of historical data. Reserves Capital reserves represent the legal reserve of the parent company and are in accordance with the Belgian law. The cumulative translation adjustment is used for translation differences arising on consolidation of financial statements of foreign entities. Non-controlling interests Non-controlling interests include the third party interests in the fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities recognized upon acquisition of a subsidiary as well as the minority share of the result of the year and retained earnings. Financial liabilities All movements in financial liabilities are accounted at trade date. Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value. Subsequently they are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs, and any discount or premium on issue. Any differences between cost and redemption value are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income upon redemption. Trade and other payables Trade payables and other short-term monetary liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Leasing IFRS 16 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a ‘right-of- use asset’ for virtually all lease contracts. Under IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Group leases various properties and cars. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of one to nine years. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 January 2024 was between 1.00% and 6.00%. From 1 January 2019, leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments: Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 136 à Consolidated Financial Statements à Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements • Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable • Variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate • Amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees • The exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and • Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following: • The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability • Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received • Any initial direct costs, and • Restoration costs. Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight- line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Melexis recognizes the interest expenses of lease liabilities in the interest paid component in the cash-flow statement. Melexis opted not to distinguish between lease and non-lease components and accounted for the full amount of the lease liability. Revenue recognition Melexis has one major revenue stream. The Group designs, develops and delivers semiconductors. Sales are recognized when control over the product has transferred, being when the products are shipped to or delivered at the customer. In case customers make a payment before the transfer of control is met, a contract liability is recognized as prescribed in the IFRS 15 standard. The Group is involved in several consignment arrangements. Revenue is not recognized upon delivery of a product if the product is held on consignment, but when the control is transferred to the customer. This transfer of control is based on the customers’s usage reporting. The Group does not have contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money. Variable consideration: some of the contracts contain commercial discounts and rebates. These incentives are included in the transaction price. A liability is set up for the most likely amount of variable consideration that is to be paid by Melexis in the future. This liability is recognized when the revenue and the corresponding accounts receivable position is recognized. To mitigate the risk of supplier LTAs, Melexis also engaged in LTAs (2023-2025) with its main customers. These contracts do not contain financial components giving rise to material rights nor any material variable considerations to be taken into account. Government grants Government grants are deferred and amortized into income over the period necessary to match them with the related costs that they are intended to compensate. Grants received are treated as deferred income in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The company recognizes government grants if they have reasonable assurance that the grants will be received. They are recognized as income on a systematic and rational basis over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs. The grant related revenue is recorded net of the related expense in the income statement and as deferred income on the statement of financial position. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are included in the cost of the asset. Income taxes The income tax charge is based on the result of the year and considers deferred taxation. Deferred taxes are calculated using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the enterprise expects, at the balance sheet date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized regardless of the moment when the timing difference is likely to reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted and are classified as non- current assets/liabilities in the statement of financial position. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 137 à Consolidated Financial Statements à Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which the deferred tax assets can be utilized. At each balance sheet date, the company reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets and the carrying amount of deferred tax assets. The enterprise recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. The company conversely reduces the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or that entire deferred tax asset to be utilized. A deferred tax liability is recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Retirement benefits: defined contribution schemes A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions (percentage of annual gross salary). The scheme is funded through payments to the insurance company. Contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the year to which they relate. In Belgium, Melexis' defined contribution plans, while funded through group insurance contracts, must adhere to Belgian regulations guaranteeing a minimum 1.75% return on contributions. This rate, tied to a risk-free rate of 10-year government bond, places the investment risk until the legal minimum rates applicable, on the employer. This structure classifies the plans as defined benefit plans under IAS19. Under IAS 19, companies must recognize a liability for employee benefits earned but not yet paid, such as pensions. These future obligations are measured on a discounted basis to reflect their present value. We refer to note 1.5.AH for more information on this topic. Segments Melexis uses the management approach for determining its segment information (paragraph 7 of IFRS 8). As of 2014, Melexis has only one operating segment: the development and sale of integrated circuits. As a result, regular financial reporting towards the CODM (Chief Operating Decision Maker, at Melexis this is CEO + CFO ) is done in one segment and the full R&D resource allocation is done on project level by one corporate team. Melexis' products and production processes have evolved in such a way that the distinction between automotive and non-automotive segments is no longer relevant. Operating decisions are taken during a committee lead by the CEO, based on performance assessments. Financial information on geographical segments is presented in note 1.5.AA. Contingencies Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. A contingent asset is not recognized in the financial statements, but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. Subsequent events Post year end events that provide additional information about a company's position at the balance sheet date (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Post year end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material. Adoption of new and revised standards The consolidated financial statements of Melexis NV are prepared according to IFRS as accepted by the EU on 1 January 2024. During the current financial year, the Group has adopted all the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the IASB, that are relevant to its operations and effective for the accounting year starting on 1 January 2024. The Group has not applied any new IFRS requirements that are not yet effective as per 31 December 2024. The following new standards and amendments to standards are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 January 2024 and have been endorsed by the European Union: 1 Amendments to IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as current or non-current’ (effective 01/01/2024), affect only the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position — not the amount or timing of recognition of any asset, liability income or expenses, or the information that entities disclose about those items. They: • Clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current should be based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and align the wording in all affected paragraphs to refer to the "right" to defer settlement by at least twelve months and make explicit that only rights in place "at the end of the reporting period" should affect the classification of a liability; • Clarify that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability; and make clear that settlement refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services. • Clarify how conditions with which an entity must comply within 12 months after the reporting period, such as covenants, affect the corresponding liability’s classification. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 138 à Consolidated Financial Statements à Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 2 Amendments to IAS 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’ and IFRS 7 ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’ (effective 1 January 2024): Supplier Finance Arrangements. The amendment describes the characteristics for which reporters will have to provide additional disclosures regarding the impact of supplier finance arrangements on liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk. 3 Amendments to IFRS 16 ‘Leases’: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (effective 1 January 2024). The amendments explain how an entity accounts for a sale and leaseback after the date of the transaction, specifically where some or all the lease payments are variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate. They state that, in subsequently measuring the lease liability, the seller-lessee determines ‘lease payments’ and ‘revised lease payments’ in a way that does not result in the seller-lessee recognising any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. Any gains and losses relating to the full or partial termination of a lease continue to be recognised when they occur as these relate to the right of use terminated and not the right of use retained. The following amendments have been issued, but are not mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 January 2024 and have been endorsed by the European Union: 1 Amendments to IAS 21 ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of exchangeability’ (effective 1 January 2025). IAS 21 previously did not cover how to determine exchange rates in case there is long-term lack of exchangeability and the spot rate to be applied by the company is not observable. The narrow scope amendments add specific requirements on: • Determining when a currency is exchangeable into another and when it is not; • Determining the exchange rate to apply in case a currency is not exchangeable; • Additional disclosures to provide when a currency is not exchangeable. The following amendments have been issued, but are not mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 January 2024 and have not been endorsed by the European Union: 1 Amendments to IFRS 9 and to IFRS 7: the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (effective on 1 January 2026). On 30 May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 to: • Clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system; • Clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) criterion; • Add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (such as some instruments with features linked to the achievement environment, social and governance (ESG) targets); and • Update the disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). 2 Amendments to IFRS 9 and to IFRS 7: Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 (effective on 1 January 2026). On 18 December 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7: • clarify the application of the ‘own-use’ requirements; • permit hedge accounting if these contracts are used as hedging instruments; and • new disclosure requirements to enable investors to understand the effect of these contracts on a company’s financial performance and cash flows. 3 IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (effective on 1 January 2027). The IASB has issued IFRS 18, the new standard on presentation and disclosure in financial statements, with a focus on updates to the statement of profit or loss. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to: • the structure of the statement of profit or loss; • required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity’s financial statements (that is, management- defined performance measures); and • enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general. IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1; many of the other existing principles in IAS 1 are retained, with limited changes. IFRS 18 will not impact the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements, but it might change what an entity reports as its ‘operating profit or loss’. IFRS 18 will apply for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 and also applies to comparative information. The changes in presentation and disclosure required by IFRS 18 might require system and process changes. 4 IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures (effective on 1 January 2027). The International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) has issued a new IFRS Accounting Standard for subsidiaries. IFRS 19 ‘Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures’ permits eligible subsidiaries to use IFRS Accounting Standards with reduced disclosures. Applying IFRS 19 will reduce the costs of preparing subsidiaries’ financial statements while maintaining the usefulness of the information for users of their financial statements. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 139 à Consolidated Financial Statements à Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 5 Annual improvements Volume 11 (effective 1 January 2026). The amended Standards are: IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards; IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and its accompanying Guidance on implementing IFRS 7; IFRS 9 Financial Instruments; IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements; and IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows. The following standard is mandatory since the financial year beginning 1 January 2016 (however not yet subjected to EU endorsement). The European Commission has decided not to launch the endorsement process of this interim standard but to wait for the final standard: 1 IFRS 14, ‘Regulatory deferral accounts’ (effective 1 January 2016). It concerns an interim standard on the accounting for certain balances that arise from rate–regulated activities. IFRS 14 is only applicable to entities that apply IFRS 1 as first-time adopters of IFRS. It permits such entities, on adoption of IFRS, to continue to apply their previous GAAP accounting policies for the recognition, measurement, impairment and derecognition of regulatory deferral accounts. The interim standard also provides guidance on selecting and changing accounting policies (on first–time adoption or subsequently) and on presentation and disclosure. At any time, management aims at providing a fair representation of the financial statements to its stakeholders according to IFRS legislation. In case of changes in IFRS legislation that materially impact, but are not yet adopted by Melexis, management ensures timely disclosure of the impact on Melexis’ financial statements. There is no impact expected. The Group elected not to adopt early the new Standards, Interpretations and Amendments, which have been issued but are not yet effective as per 31 December 2024.

Fair value The fair value of derivatives is based upon mark to market valuations. All derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value derived from level 2 input criteria. For FX swaps, this is calculated using the forward rate of the appropriate currency pair on 31 December. No outstanding derivatives classified as an asset under current investments, derivatives. The following table presents an overview of the fair value of outstanding derivatives, classified as a liability under derivative financial instruments: 31 December 2024 2023 Liabilities in EUR Fair value Fair value Outstanding FX hedge contracts - level 2 228,348 259,214 Total, classified under derivative financial instruments 228,348 259,214 As of 31 December 2024, there were no outstanding derivatives for which hedge accounting was applied as defined under IFRS 9. As a result, no changes in the fair value of hedging instruments were recognized in a hedging reserve. The advance payments as disclosed in note 1.5.AD are not accounted for under IFRS 9 as the settlement will be in wafers and not in cash or another financial instrument. C Trade receivables Trade receivables are measured at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost, less allowance for credit losses. Due to the short-term nature of the current receivables, their carrying amount is considered to be the same as their fair value. in EUR 2024 2023 Trade accounts receivable 102,302,262 120,264,282 Credit loss allowance (55,783) (57,940) Total 102,246,479 120,206,343 As of 31 December 2024, trade receivables of EUR 14,053,797 were past due.

When there is a significant increase in the credit risk of a customer, an allowance for credit losses is made. The analysis of the increased credit risk is performed according to the credit loss model of IFRS 9. The output of the analysis did not result in material amounts to be accounted for. Melexis uses an early warning system to detect potential bad debtors. In this system, the most recent available financial information of the customer (with focus on credit ratios) is combined with an analysis of their (future) order and payment behavior. The analysis is done on a weekly basis and thoroughly investigated by the credit control team. No additional impairment or credit losses needed to be taken in 2024. Per 31 December 2024, EUR 6,886 of the trade accounts receivable are related parties, compared to EUR 3,095 per 31 December 2023.

Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 144 à Consolidated Financial Statements à Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements E Income taxes The income tax expenses can be broken down as follows: in EUR 2024 2023 Current tax expenses 34,309,897 51,731,089 Deferred tax expenses (435,131) (8,031,602) Total 33,874,765 43,699,487 Income tax expenses decreased compared to last year due to a decrease in taxable result. Intra-group transactions resulted in intangible assets in the Melexis Technologies SA and Melexis Bulgaria EOOD statutory (standalone) financial statements. These assets, although eliminated in consolidated figures, result in tax deductible amortization charges in the hands of these companies. Deferred tax effects linked to these transactions amount to approximately EUR 0.38 million at year end 2024. As from financial year 2016, the Board of Directors deemed it expedient to start capitalizing research and development efforts in Melexis Technologies NV’s standalone/tax financial statements. Such approach is found to be a best practice approach from a Belgian accounting and tax perspective. Deferred tax effects linked thereto amount to approximately EUR 31.7 million at year end 2024. Added to deferred tax effects linked to available tax offsets carried forward in the hands of Melexis NV and Melexis Technologies NV and deferred tax effects resulting from various temporary differences, the maximum amount of deferred tax assets to be recognized amounts to EUR 39.9 million at year end 2024. As in previous years, the company assessed to what extent it is probable that this positive tax effect will effectively be realized in the future. In this respect, the Board of Directors in particular took into account the uncertainties related to the rapid technological evolutions in the sector, the highly competitive market as well as the fact that the company only has short-term contracts with its customers. Deferred tax amounts recognized in financial statements per 31 December 2024 are based on management’s best estimate covering expected business performance in the foreseeable future. In its assessment the Board of Directors typically adheres to a 3-year horizon. Taking into account these considerations, the Board of Directors decided to recognize as per 31 December 2024 a cumulative deferred tax asset of EUR 36,985,308. Accordingly, the unrecognized deferred tax asset for carried forward dividends received deduction amounts to approximately EUR 3 million at year end 2024, linked to an excess DRD of EUR 12.754.155 which can be carried forward indefinitely. Furthermore, a deferred tax liability of EUR 3,737,367 was recognized at year end 2024 mainly linked to setting up deferred tax liabilities for leases and capital allowances. Consolidated figures show a current tax receivable amounting to EUR 18,889,415 and a current tax liability amounting to EUR 3,219,819. The most important component of the current tax receivable is the overpayment of Belgian corporate income taxes, amounting to approximately EUR 17.5 million. The Group operates on the assumption that it is within the scope of the OECD Pillar Two (GloBE) model rules. Pillar Two legislation was enacted in Belgium, the jurisdiction in which Melexis NV is incorporated, and came into effect as from 1 January 2024. Under the new legislation, the Group is liable to pay a top-up tax for the difference between their GloBE effective tax rate per jurisdiction and the 15% minimum rate. All jurisdictions in which the Group is present have an effective tax rate that exceeds 15%, except for Bulgaria and Switzerland. The Group calculated the current tax exposure in the form of top-up tax according to the locally applicable legislation. The calculated top-up tax for Bulgaria amounts to approximately EUR 0.75 million and for Switzerland to approximately EUR 0.89 million. The group applies the exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar II income taxes, as provided in the amendments to IAS 12 issued in May 2023. Components of deferred tax assets are as follows: in EUR 1 January 2024 Charged to income statement Charged to equity 31 December 2024 Tax amortization charges 29,171,460 2,967,000 32,138,460 Tax losses carried forward 2,368,000 (762,000) 1,606,000 Asset on leases — 1,813,007 1,813,007 Fair value adjustments to hedge accounting 64,804 (7,717) 57,087 IAS 19 221,764 221,764 Miscellaneous 1,727,556 (578,566) 1,148,990 Total 33,331,820 3,431,724 221,764 36,985,308 Financial instruments refer to our FX and inflation derivatives used for hedging purposes.

In 2024, EUR 6,868,066 of additional inventory was written off. EUR 8,077,414 of the inventory written off during the previous year was reversed as the business conditions to write off these inventory items became redundant or the estimated sales value increased due to a change in business conditions.

Prepaid expenses are expenses paid in advance for the whole year, for example insurance fees, license fees, etc. These increase at the beginning of the year and decrease towards the end. The increase in other current assets from EUR 32,429,173 per end December 2023 to EUR 55,960,756 per end December 2024 is mainly because of the short-term portion of the repayments of X-FAB, which are scheduled to start in Q3 2025 and were therefore not considered short-term in 2023.

During recent years, in line with developments within the sector, Melexis and its subsidiaries have also concluded various long-term agreements (LTAs) with different suppliers. The most important goal of the LTAs is to secure volumes and more predictable prices. Given that the LTA with our main supplier X-FAB requires significant capacity expansions on their part, Melexis Technologies agreed in 2023, in line with current market practices, to prepay a part of the committed wafers. For more details about this transaction, we refer to note 1.5.AD. No triggering event occurred that would give rise to any indication for impairment of these non-current assets.

The deferred income mainly relates to shipments that were not delivered at the customer or that were prepared and not picked up before year end. As this performance obligation was not met, revenue was not recognized at year end but will be recognized when the shipment will be delivered to the customer. The performance obligation was met shortly after year end and revenue was recognized in January of the next year. A deferred income is recognized in case a payment for a customer is due before a related performance obligation is satisfied.

The estimation covers Melexis’experience of past claim rates and knowledge of current claims together with an assessment of rectification costs.The estimated period of usage of the underlying expenses is set at 1-2 years. Employee benefit obligations Melexis’ employee benefit plans consist of defined contribution plans providing retirement, disability and surviving dependent’s benefits with main contract in Belgium. In Belgium, Melexis' defined contribution plans, while funded through group insurance contracts, must adhere to Belgian regulations guaranteeing a minimum 1.75% return on contributions. This rate, tied to a risk-free rate of 10-year government bond, places the investment risk until the legal minimum rates applicable, on the employer. This structure classifies the plans as defined benefit plans under IAS19. Under IAS 19, companies must recognize a liability for employee benefits earned but not yet paid, such as pensions. These future obligations are measured on a discounted basis to reflect their present value. A qualified actuary has determined the present value of the defined benefit obligations and the fair value of the plan assets. The Projected Unit Credit (PUC) method was used to estimate the defined benefit obligations, the defined benefit cost and the re-measurements of the net liability. There are 3 defined benefit plans in Melexis Belgium for which we show below the aggregated view as these do not differ materially from characteristics, regulatory environment, reporting segment or funding arrangement. In accordance with IAS 19 the disclosure is in the form of a weighted average Financial impact Given the continued increase in the gross obligation's value, Melexis decided to account for IAS19 as of 2024 (through OCI). As per 31 December 2024, the net defined benefit obligation for Belgium amounts to EUR 887,054 (compared to EUR 714,158 in 2023), comprised of a defined benefit obligation of EUR 9,722,354 and plan assets of EUR 9,008,196. The changes in defined benefit obligations in 2024 and the corresponding financial impact are detailed in the tables below: in EUR 2024 CHANGE IN DEFINED BENEFIT OBLIGATION Defined benefit obligation at end of prior year 9,722,354 Current service cost 1,215,646 Interest expense 346,596 Cash flows Benefit payments from plan assets (175,692) Participant contributions 366,106 Administrative expenses included in the DBO (21,823) Taxes included in the DBO (160,481) Remeasurements Effect of changes in demographic assumptions — Effect of changes in financial assumptions (81,180) Effect of experience adjustments 229,084 Defined benefit obligation at end of year 11,440,610 in EUR 2024 CHANGE IN FAIR VALUE OF PLAN ASSETS Fair value of plan assets at end of prior year 9,008,196 Interest income 305,852 Cash flows Total employer contributions 1,249,264 Participant contributions 366,106 Benefit payments from plan assets (175,692) Administrative expenses paid from plan assets (21,823) Taxes paid from plan assets (160,481) Remeasurements Return on plan assets (excluding interest income) (17,866) Fair value of plan assets at end of year 10,553,556 Net defined pension liability 887,054 Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 150 à Consolidated Financial Statements à Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Components of defined benefit cost in EUR 2024 Service cost 1,215,646 Net interest cost Interest expense on DBO 346,596 Interest income on plan assets (305,852) Total net interest cost 40,744 Defined benefit cost included in P&L 1,256,390 Remeasurements (recognized in OCI) Effect of changes in demographic assumptions 110,304 Effect of changes in financial assumptions 374,011 Effect of experience adjustments 61,613 Return on plan assets (excluding interest income) 134,054 Total remeasurements included in OCI 679,982 Total defined benefit cost recognized in P&L and OCI 1,936,372 The following payments are to be expected benefit payments for the following year from the plan assets: Expected cashflow for following year in EUR Expected employer contributions 1,300,484 Expected total benefit payments Year 1 234,343 Year 2 253,850 Year 3 193,593 Year 4 194,085 Year 5 194,452 Next 5 years 1,813,449 The fair value of the plan assets are fully invested in insurance policies with guaranteed interest rates as provided by the insurer. Assumptions The principal assumptions used in determining the IAS 19 pension obligation for Melexis were as follows: in EUR 2024 2023 Discount rate 3.7% 3.6% Inflation rate 2.1% 2.3% Salary increases 4.1% 4.3% Retirement age following legal retirement age following legal retirement age Sensitivity analysis The below table summarizes the sensitivity analysis performed for significant assumptions as per 31 December 2024. The figures show the impact on the defined benefit obligation. in EUR Present value defined benefit obligation Change in defined benefit obligation Impact on defined benefit obligation Discount rate -25 basis points 11,679,475 238,866 2.1% Discount rate +25 basis points 11,249,005 (191,604) (1.7)% Salary increase rate -25 basis points 11,331,550 (109,059) (1.0)% Salary increase rate +25 basis points 11,565,273 124,664 1.1% The sensitivity analysis presented above, demonstrate the potential impact on the defined benefit obligation if key assumptions were to change at the end of the reporting period. Each analysis focuses on the effect of a single significant assumption, while holding all others constant. These results may not be representative to fully reflect real-world changes, as it's unlikely that assumptions would shift independently in practice. The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period at a discount rate - 25 basis points is 8.58 years and at a discount rate + 25 basis points is 7.01 years. The impact on the defined benefit obligation for changes in inflation rate is considered to be immaterial. P Product sales The product sales are as follows: in EUR 2024 2023 Product sales 932,808,067 964,297,902 Total 932,808,067 964,297,902 For the revenue from product sales, please refer to the operating segments section in note 1.5.AA. 1 Includes accruals for write-offs on inventory for the amount of EUR 6,868,066 and reversal of accruals for write-offs in previous year for EUR 8,077,414. Inventory write-offs were reversed as the business conditions to write off these inventory items became redundant or the estimated sales value increased due to a change in business conditions. Consequently, the net impact on the consolidated income statement of 2024 is a loss of EUR 1,209,348.

Melexis is using revolving credit facilities. Z Shareholders' equity and rights attached to the shares Shareholder's capital As of 31 December 2024, the common stock consisted of 40,400,000 issued and outstanding ordinary shares without face value, unchanged from last year. Each shareholder is entitled to one vote per share, without prejudice to specific restrictions on the shareholders' voting rights in the company's articles of association and the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations, including restrictions for non-voting shares and the suspension or cancellation of voting rights for shares which have not been fully paid up at the request of the Board of Directors. Under the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations, the shareholders decide on the distribution of profits at the annual shareholders' meeting, based on the latest audited statutory accounts of the company. Dividends may be paid either in cash or in kind. However, shareholders may not declare a dividend if the company has not first reserved at least 5% of its profits for the financial year until such reserve has reached an amount equal to 10% of its share capital (the “legal reserve”) or if, following any such dividend, the level of the net assets adjusted for the unamortized balance of the incorporation costs and capitalized research and development costs of the company falls below the amount of the company's paid-in-capital and of its non-distributable reserves. The Board of Directors may pay an interim dividend, provided that certain conditions set forth in the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations are met. In the event of a liquidation of the company, the proceeds from the sale of assets remaining after payment of all debts, liquidation expenses and taxes are to be distributed proportionally to the shareholders, subject to liquidation preference rights of shares having preferred dissolution rights. The company currently has no plans to issue any shares having such preferred dissolution rights. Reserves Reserve treasury shares: for own shares repurchased by the company or entities belonging to the Melexis Group, the amount of consideration paid is recognized as a deduction from equity. In case of a cancellation or sale of treasury shares, the result of the transaction is included in retained earnings. In December 2024, Melexis initiated a share buy-back program of its outstanding common stock for up to 850 thousand shares for an amount of EUR 50 million. The bought back shares are held as treasury shares for a total amount of EUR 4.4 million or 77,200 shares per 31 December 2024. Revaluation reserve hedge: changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument, for which hedge accounting is applied as defined under IFRS 9, are recognized in a hedging reserve. For more details about the fair value of the hedging instruments through equity, please refer to note 1.5.B. Revaluation reserve fair value: the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of current investments classified as available for sale is recognized directly into equity into ‘Revaluation reserve fair value'. For more detail about the fair value of the current investments, please refer to note 1.5.B. Legal reserve: the part of the retained earnings that cannot be used for distribution to the shareholders as a result of the legal requirement to have a legal reserve of at least 10 per cent of the share capital. Retained earnings: the net earnings retained by the company to be reinvested in its core business, or to pay debt. Cumulative translation adjustment: the foreign currency translation reserve is used to record exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries.

The independent directors or entity that they represent have received in total EUR 56,000 remuneration in 2024 compared to EUR 56,000 in 2023. The other directors are not remunerated. AC Earnings per share Net earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net result for the period attributable to ordinary shareholders of EUR 171,446,322 in 2024 and 209,463,394 in 2023 by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period (40,400,000 in 2024 and 40,400,000 in 2023). The average number of ordinary shares outstanding diluted and non-diluted are the same. No material share transactions or potential share transactions occurred after the balance sheet date. On 3 February 2025, the Board of Directors decided to propose to the annual shareholders’ meeting to pay out over the result of 2024 a total dividend of EUR 3.70 gross per share. This amount contains an interim dividend of EUR 1.30 per share, which was paid in October 2024 , and a final dividend of EUR 2.40 per share which will be payable after approval by the annual shareholders’ meeting. AD Commitments & estimated liabilities Purchase commitments As of 31 December 2024, the company had purchase commitments for tangible fixed assets amounting to EUR 13,684,587 mainly related to test equipment for the production sites. As of 31 December 2023, the amount was EUR 30,442,779, which was impacted by the construction of the new building in Malaysia. The 2023 mismatch between supply and demand related to automotive semiconductors has led market participants to establish new ways of contracting aimed at the long-term relationship between suppliers and their customers. During recent years, in line with developments within the sector, Melexis and its subsidiaries have also concluded various long-term agreements (LTAs) with different suppliers. The most important goal of the LTAs is to secure volumes and more predictable prices. Given that these X- FAB LTAs require significant capacity expansions at X-FAB, Melexis Technologies agreed, in line with current market practices, to prepay a part of the committed wafers. For Melexis Technologies, the determination and allocation of such prepayments for capacity reservation involves the approval of an operational advance payment to X-FAB for a total amount of around EUR 189.2 million, i.e. 15% of the reserved capacity. The prepayments were scheduled to occur at the end of April 2023, end of September 2023, end of October 2023 and end of February 2024. The settlement of this prepayment will be done through wafer sales. For the impact on the balance sheet, we refer to note 1.5.H. There is no impact on the profit and loss accounts. These advance payments are not accounted for under IFRS 9 as the settlement will be in wafers and not in cash or another financial instrument. Hence the advance payment is accounted for as a non-financial asset and no interest revenue on the prepayment is recognized. The operational advance payment towards X-FAB in the framework of the LTA has no interest component, which is in line with current market practices. To mitigate the risk of supplier LTAs, Melexis also engaged in LTAs (2023-2025) with its main customers. These contracts do not contain financial components giving rise to material rights nor any material variable considerations to be taken into account. AE Business combinations There were no business combinations in 2024. In October 2023, Melexis NV acquired Xpeqt NV for EUR 13.7 million, resulting in a net cash out of EUR 9.4 million. The acquisition, driven by Melexis' strategic need to own its main test system supplier, resulted in minimal goodwill and limited contribution to the groups net profit. AF Litigation The company is currently not involved in any litigation. AG Auditor's services On a consolidated basis, the audit fees required by law amounted to EUR 389,906 in 2024, compared to EUR 361,388 in 2023. AH Reserves post-retirement benefits Melexis’ employee benefit plans consist of defined benefit and defined contribution plans providing retirement, disability and surviving dependent’s benefits with main contract in Belgium. Contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the year to which they relate. The contributions to defined contribution schemes amoun ted to EUR 1,583,088 in 2024 compared to EUR 1,120,544 in 2023. In Belgium, Melexis' defined contribution plans, while funded through group insurance contracts, must adhere to Belgian regulations guaranteeing a minimum 1.75% return on contributions. This rate, tied to Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 156 à Consolidated Financial Statements à Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements a risk-free rate of 10-year government bond, places the investment risk until the legal minimum rates applicable, on the employer. This structure classifies the plans as defined benefit plans under IAS19. Under IAS 19, companies must recognize a liability for employee benefits earned but not yet paid, such as pensions. These future obligations are measured on a discounted basis to reflect their present value. A qualified actuary has determined the present value of the defined benefit obligations and the fair value of the plan assets. As per 31 December 2024, the net defined benefit obligation for Belgium amounts to EUR 887,054 (see note 1.5.O).

Prior to making any investment decision, prospective purchasers of shares should consider carefully all of the information set forth in this annual report and, in particular, the risks described below. If any of the following risks actually occur, the company's business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Except for the historical information in this annual report, the discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements regarding the company's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. The cautionary statements made in this annual report should be read as being applicable to all forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this annual report. aRisks related to the company Operating history; inability to forecast revenues accurately The company's business and prospects must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies active in new and rapidly evolving markets, such as the semiconductor market. To address these risks and uncertainties, the company must, among other things: (1) increase market share; (2) enhance its brand; (3) implement and execute its business and marketing strategy successfully; (4) continue to develop and upgrade its technology; (5) respond to competitive developments; and (6) attract, integrate, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that the company will be successful in accomplishing any or all of these things, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the company's business, result of operations and financial condition. As a result of the rapidly evolving markets in which it competes, the company may be unable to forecast its revenues accurately. The company's current and future expense levels are based largely on its investment plans and estimates of future revenues. Sales and income from operations generally depend on the volume and timing of, and ability to fulfil, orders received, which are difficult to forecast. The company may be unable to adjust its expenditures in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. Accordingly, any significant shortfall in revenues in relation to the company's planned expenditures would have an immediate adverse effect on the company's business, income from operations and financial condition. Furthermore, in response to changes in the competitive environment, the company may, from time to time, make certain pricing, service or marketing decisions that could have a material adverse effect on the company's business, result of operations and financial condition. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 157 à Consolidated Financial Statements à Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Manufacturing The Group has multiple manufacturing sites around the world. These sites are exposed to risks related to interruptions of our manufacturing processes, such as political upheavals, natural disasters, occupational accidents and pandemics. These could impede the Group's ability to manufacture at these sites on the planned scale or to export products manufactured at those sites, which in turn can impact our financial condition and results of operations. Contingency plans are in place in order to be able to respond adequately to crisis situations. Dependence on data and IT systems including cybersecurity The Group heavily depends on the reliability and security of its IT systems: networks, infrastructure, operating systems and databases. These systems are subject to attempted security breaches and other cybersecurity threats, a risk that is becoming more important with the rise in the level of threats to data security. If successful, this could adversely impact our business and result in an immediate loss of revenue for the Group. To mitigate these risks, an array of precautionary measures were put in place. Currency fluctuations The company is subject to risks of currency fluctuations to the extent that its revenues are received in currencies other than the currencies of the company's related costs. Fluctuations in the value of the euro against an investor's currency of investment may affect the market value of the shares expressed in an investor's currency. Such fluctuations may also affect the conversion into USD of cash dividends and other distributions paid in EUR on the shares. Please refer to the foreign currency risk in note 1.5.AL for more information about the impact of foreign currencies. Credit risk on short-term investments The company is subject to risks of financial losses on investments in marketable securities and short- term deposits. Managing growth To manage future growth effectively, the company must enhance its financial and accounting systems and controls, further develop its management information systems, integrate new personnel and manage expanded operations. The company's failure to manage its growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on the quality of its products and services, its ability to retain key personnel and its business, operating result and financial condition. Risk of potential future acquisitions As a part of its growth strategy, the company regularly evaluates potential acquisitions of businesses, technologies and product lines. Announcements concerning potential acquisitions and investments could be made at any time. Future acquisitions by the company may result in the use of significant amounts of cash, potentially dilutive issuing of equity securities, incurrence of debt and amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets, each of which could materially and adversely affect the company's business, result of operations and financial condition or negatively affect the price of the shares. Should the company's future acquisitions operate at lower margins than those that exist for the company's present services and products, they may further limit the company's growth and place a significant strain on its business and financial resources. In addition, acquisitions involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of the operations, technologies, products and personnel of the acquired company, the diversion of management's attention from other business concerns, risks of entering markets in which the company has no, or limited, direct prior experience and potential loss of key employees of the acquired company. While the company has had discussions with other companies, there are currently no commitments or agreements with respect to any potential acquisition. In the event that such an acquisition does occur, there can be no assurance that the company's business, result of operations and financial condition, and the market price of the shares will not be materially adversely affected. Dependence on key personnel; ability to recruit and retain qualified personnel The company's performance is substantially dependent on the performance and continued presence of its senior management and other key personnel. The company's performance also depends on the company's ability to retain and motivate its other officers and employees. The loss of the services of any of the company's senior management or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on the company's business, result of operations and financial condition. The company's future success also depends on its ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate other highly skilled technical, managerial, marketing and customer service personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that the company will be able to attract, integrate or retain sufficiently qualified personnel. The failure to retain and attract the necessary personnel could have a material adverse effect on the company's business, result of operations and financial condition. Products may contain defects The company's products may contain undetected defects, especially when first released, that could adversely affect its business. Despite rigorous and extensive testing, some defects may be discovered only after a product has been installed and used by customers. Any defects discovered after commercial release could result in (1) adverse publicity; (2) loss of revenues and market share; (3) increased service, warranty or insurance costs; or (4) claims against the company. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the company's business, result of operations and financial condition. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 158 à Consolidated Financial Statements à Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Evolving distribution channels The majority of sales to the large automotive accounts are generated by direct sales people. However, over time, increasingly more sales of ASSPs have been generated via the representative and distribution network of Melexis. As the majority of the Melexis ASSPs are unique, the end customers are still dependent on Melexis and not on the representative or distributor that they are working with. Every distributor or agent or distribution method may involve risks of unpaid bills, idle inventories and inadequate customer service. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the company's business, result of operations and financial condition. Protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights The semiconductor industry is characterized by frequent claims alleging the infringement of patents and other intellectual property rights. Thus, the company may receive communications or claims from third parties asserting patents or other intellectual property rights on certain technologies or processes used by the company. In the event any third party claim were to be valid, the company could be required to discontinue using certain processes or technologies or to cease the use and sale of infringing products, to pay damages and to acquire licenses to the allegedly infringed technology or develop non- infringing technologies. The company's business, financial condition and result of operations could be materially and adversely affected by any such development. The company has already obtained patent protections and expects to file additional patent applications when appropriate to protect certain of its proprietary technologies. The company also protects its proprietary information and know-how through the use of trade secrets, confidentiality agreements and other measures. The process of patent protection can be expensive and time consuming. There can be no assurance that patents will be issued for applications or that, if patents are issued, they will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or that rights granted thereunder will provide meaningful protection or other commercial advantage to the company. Likewise, there can be no assurance that the company will be able to preserve any of its other intellectual property rights in the future. Claims Melexis receives, on a regular basis, claims from customers, and might receive claims from competitors as well. These claims can be recognized as a liability in the Consolidated statement of financial position. The company uses all possible resources to limit the risk for the company. More information on the pending claims can be found in note 1.5.AF Litigation. The importance of significant customers Melexis' biggest customer accounts for 13% of total sales. No other customers have sales over 10% of total sales. For the year ended 31 December 2024, the 10 most important customers accounted for 42% of total sales (see 1.5.AA). Significant supplier Melexis sources the majority of its wafers from one supplier. To reduce the risk of dependency on one supplier, Melexis also sources from other wafer fabs. For packaging services, Melexis sources from several mainly Asian vendors. bRisks related to the business The semiconductor market The semiconductor industry is characterized by rapid technology change, frequent product introductions with improved price and/or performance characteristics, and average unit price erosion. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the company's business and prospects. The automotive industry As a semiconductor company with most of its revenue coming from the automotive industry, Melexis sales are impacted by, among others, the number of vehicles produced and sold worldwide. The demand for vehicles is influenced by the economic and geopolitical situation in different regions. Macro-economic risks and trade tensions can lead to reduced purchasing power, causing the demand for vehicles to drop. Other factors that can lead to a reduced demand for vehicles include a shift in consumer purchase behavior, uncertainty amongst consumers on what type of car to buy and new forms of mobility such as car sharing and robotaxis. Intense competition The automotive semiconductor market is very different from other segments of the semiconductor market. In particular, technological requirements for automotive semiconductors differ significantly as automotive electronics must withstand extreme conditions, including very hot and cold temperatures, dry and humid weather conditions and an environment subject to dust, oil, salt and vibration. In addition and unlike the situation in other segments of the semiconductor market, the supply voltage to automotive semiconductors originating from a car's battery will vary strongly in practice (between 6.5 and 24 V). As a result, these factors make automotive semiconductor product design and, in particular, testing, difficult when compared with other semiconductor markets. The company currently competes with a number of other companies. These companies could differ for each type of product. The company's competitors include, among others, Allegro Microsystems, Analog Devices, Microchip Technology, ams-OSRAM, Elmos, Infineon Technologies, TDK (Micronas), NXP, ST Microelectronics, onsemi and Texas Instruments. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 159 à Consolidated Financial Statements à Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements The company believes that the principal competitive factors in its market are technological know-how, human resources, new product development, a close relationship with the leading automotive original equipment manufacturers and with the car manufacturers. The company's current and potential competitors could have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, access to larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than the company. As a result, they may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements or to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products than the company. There can be no assurance that the company will be able to compete successfully against current and future competition. Furthermore, as a strategic response to changes in the competitive environment, the company may, from time to time, make certain pricing, service and marketing decisions or acquisitions that could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition. New technologies and the expansion of existing technologies may increase the competitive pressures on the company by enabling its competitors to offer a lower cost service or a better technology. There can be no assurance that any current arrangements or contracts of the company will be renewed on commercially reasonable terms. Any and all of these events could have a material adverse effect on the company's business result of operations and financial condition. Rapid technological change The semiconductor market is characterized by rapidly changing technology, frequent new product announcements, introductions and enhancements to products, and average unit price erosion. In the automotive semiconductor market, the active product life cycle is approximately 5 to 10 years. Accordingly, the company's future success will depend on its ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies, to adapt its products and services to evolving industry standards and to improve the performance, features and reliability of its products and services in response to competitive product and service offerings and evolving demands of the marketplace. The failure of the company to adapt to such changes would have a material adverse effect on the company's business, result of operations and financial condition. Purchasing The vast majority of the company's products are manufactured and assembled by foundries and subcontract manufacturers under a ‘fabless' model. This reliance upon foundries and subcontractors involves certain risks, including potential lack of manufacturing availability, reduced control over delivery schedules, the availability of advanced process technologies, changes in manufacturing yields, dislocation, expense and delay caused by decisions to relocate manufacturing facilities or processes, and potential cost fluctuations. During downturns in the semiconductor economic cycle, reduction in overall demand for semiconductor products could financially stress certain of the company's subcontractors. If the financial resources of such subcontractors are stressed, the company may experience future product shortages, quality assurance problems, increased manufacturing costs or other supply chain disruptions. During upturns in the semiconductor cycle, it is not always possible to respond adequately to unexpected increases in customer demand due to capacity constraints. The company may be unable to obtain adequate foundry, assembly or test capacity from third-party subcontractors to meet customers' delivery requirements even if the company adequately forecasts customer demand. The company may have to incur unexpected costs to expedite orders in order to meet unforecast customer demand. Because of the mismatch between supply and demand in the automotive market in 2023, new ways of contracting have been introduced in our industry over the last two years, called long-term agreements or LTAs. The main aim of these new market practices in case of upturns is securing volumes and more predictable pricing. The company's foundry and assembly subcontractors typically do not guarantee that adequate capacity will be available within the time required to meet customer demand for products. In the event that these vendors fail to meet required demand for whatever reason, the company expects that it would take up to twelve months to transition performance of these services to new providers. Such a transition may also require qualification of the new providers by the company's customers or their end customers, which would take additional time. The requalification process for the entire supply chain including the end customer could take several years for certain of the company's products. Melexis sources the majority of its wafers from one supplier, but sources from other wafer fabs as well, to reduce the risk of dependency on one supplier. For the packaging services, Melexis sources from several mainly Asian vendors. Geopolitical environment Uncertain political landscapes and tensions in global trade could have a significant impact on Melexis’ business by causing a reduced free trade of goods and services and, as a consequence, disruptions in the supply chain. Examples of such situations include increased protectionism, technology wars and rising populism. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 160 à Consolidated Financial Statements à Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements cRisks related to the trading on Euronext Possible volatility of share price The trading price of the company's shares has been and may continue to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as actual or anticipated variations in the company's quarterly operating results, announcements of technological innovations, or new services by the company or its competitors, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, conditions or trends in semiconductor industries, changes in the market valuations of companies active in the same markets, announcements by the company or its competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments, additions or departures of key personnel, sales of shares or other securities of the company in the open market and other events or factors, many of which are beyond the company's control. Furthermore, the stock markets in general, and Euronext, the market for semiconductor-related and technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. These broad market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect the market price of the company's shares, irrespective of the company's operating performance. AL Sensitivity analysis on financial risk Melexis is mainly sensitive to foreign currency rate and interest rate risks. Foreign currency risk The Group has transactional currency exposures. Such exposure arises from sales or purchases by an operating unit in currencies other than the unit's functional currency, especially in USD. In 2024, approximately 34% of the Group's sales are denominated in USD and approximately 35% of the Group's costs are denominated in USD. The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in the EUR/USD exchange rate of the Group's result before tax, with all other variables held constant. FY 2024 Increase/decrease in EUR/USD rate Effect on profit or loss before taxes (in EUR) Reference rate: 1.08 (average FY 2024) +0.05 (1.13) (3,194,571) -0.05 (1.03) 3,503,893 On 31 December 2024, the following financial assets and liabilities were present, shown in USD and CHF: 2024 (in USD) 2024 (in CHF) Financial assets 41,627,222 276,104 Cash and cash equivalents 10,929,572 264,993 Trade and other receivables 30,697,650 11,111 Financial liabilities 23,932,412 317,300 Trade and other payables 23,932,412 317,300 An increase/decrease of the EUR/USD rate of +/- 500 base points (reference rate = 1.04) would have an impact on the balance sheet value of EUR -782,085 / EUR 861,172 on 31 December 2024. The portion of other non-functional currencies (other than USD) is not material. Interest rate risk The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group's long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates. On 31 December 2024, all of the Group’s borrowings are at a floating rate of interest. Melexis is currently not using interest rate derivatives to hedge the interest rate risk. The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Group’s financial result to a reasonably possible change in interest rates (through the impact on floating rate borrowings), with all other variables held constant. Increase/decrease Effect on financial result (in EUR) FY 2024 in base points (15.00) (319,983) 15.00 319,983 AM Financial instruments Financial risk management Melexis operates internationally, which could give an exposure to market risks from changes in interest and foreign exchange rates. Melexis can use derivative financial instruments to manage the foreign exchange risks, interest risks and inflation risks. Table of contents At a glance About Melexis Sustainability report Financial report Corporate governance Appendix 161 à Consolidated Financial Statements à Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Risk management policies have been defined on Group level, and are carried out by the local companies of the Group. 1Credit risks Credit risk arises from the possibility that customers or other counterparties may not be able to settle obligations to the company within the normal terms of trade. Melexis’ credit risk arises primarily from cash and cash equivalents, current investments and accounts receivable. To manage the risk, the company periodically assesses the financial viability of counterparties. Current investments and investments in cash equivalents are entered into with financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with any single counterparty or group of counterparties having similar characteristics. 2Interest rate risk On 31 December 2024, the Group does not use derivatives to manage interest rate risks. 3Liquidity risk Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group is unable to meet its financial obligations upon maturity, due to the inability to convert assets into cash without incurring a loss. To prevent this, the Group keeps a significant cash reserve in combination with multiple unused committed credit lines. 4Foreign exchange risk The functional currency of the Group is the euro as Melexis uses the principle of single billing, single sourcing through the Belgian entity Melexis Technologies NV. The currency risk of the Group occurs due to the fact that the Group operates and has sales in USD. The Group uses derivative contracts to manage foreign exchange risk. The table with outstanding derivatives per 31 December is taken up in note 1.5.B. 5Inflation risk The inflation risk of the Group arises from the possibility that the salaries will increase due to inflation. The Group occasionally uses inflation hedge contracts to hedge Belgian salary payments. For more information, please refer to note 1.5.B. Fair value of financial instruments The fair value of foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange market rates at the balance sheet date. The fair value of inflation hedge contracts is determined by discounting future expected cash flows, which are impacted by inflation expectations. For all of these instruments, the fair values are confirmed to the Group by the financial institutions through which the Group has entered into these contracts. The Group's principal financial instruments not carried at fair value are cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other current assets, other non-current assets, trade and other payables, bank overdrafts and long-term borrowings. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and of bank overdrafts approximates their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of current investments is calculated by reference to the market value on the stock exchange on which the shares are listed. The fair value of the long-term loans is based on the current rates available for debt with the same maturity profile and approximates their carrying amounts. Management believes that the exposure to interest rate risk of financial assets and liabilities as of 31 December 2024 was minimal since their deviation from their respective fair values was not significant. AN Climate change Earth’s systems and processes have been influenced by human activity. Climate change, resource scarcity, environmental pollution – these are just some of the issues that humanity faces. To address this global problem, the Paris Agreement set a goal to limit the increase in global average temperature to below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to attempt to limit the increase to 1.5°C. Melexis is committed to environmental sustainability, both in our products and in the way they are produced. We strive to minimize our environmental impact by analyzing and reducing our carbon footprint and increasing efficient use of natural resources on all our sites. On a product level, Melexis contributes to the electrification trend in the automotive industry, which is seen as one of the most important strategies for reducing CO2 emissions. We identified two main climate-related risks. The first one is the higher occurrence of natural hazards, such as floods and fires. What makes this risk significant is the fact that Melexis sites are geographically spread across 20 locations from the US to Japan, thus across various climatic zones. The second high- priority risk is increased investments by players in the semiconductor industry to ensure compliance with new regulations to reduce the environmental impact. The production of wafers for instance is energy and water intensive. Moreover, the environmental footprint of transportation of ICs is high, given the global nature of the semiconductor supply chain. Therefore, regulation in view of climate change could put pressure on the industry and lead to substantial increases in the cost of doing business. To address this risk, Melexis measures its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering all Scopes 1, 2 and 3 in accordance with the GHG Protocol. Based on these measures, we are setting carbon targets and are searching for ways to reduce our footprint (see also our GHG disclosures). In 2024, expenses related to climate change were not material. There is no substantial impact of climate change considerations on the financial judgments and estimates made in this annual report.
