For the full year 2024, we expect sales to be around 1 billion euro, with a gross profit margin above 44% and an operating margin above 25%, all taking into account a EUR/USD exchange rate of 1.08. For the full year 2024, Melexis expects CAPEX to be around 70 million EUR.

Business update

Sales in the first quarter of 2024 landed in the middle of the guidance at 241.8 million euro.

The outperforming product lines were embedded motor drivers, smart motor drivers and temperature sensors. In line with our automotive focus areas, we launched two innovations in the first quarter of 2024. We revealed the groundbreaking Triphibian™ technology, revolutionizing thermal management in electric vehicles. Furthermore, our engineering teams have redefined end-position sensing with the contactless and magnetless Induxis®, an inductive switch for safety applications in electrification.

Sales to automotive customers represented 90% of total sales in the first quarter of 2024.

Quote from CEO Marc Biron

"The inventory corrections in some product lines that we saw throughout the past few quarters are now behind us. Our solid customer base and the ever-increasing demand for automotive semiconductors addressing electrification and the increasing need for comfort and safety applications resulted in a 6% yearon-year growth in the first quarter of 2024.

After the cost optimization measures taken in the fourth quarter of last year, the fundamentals of the new organizational structure were laid in the first quarter. This will ensure further growth in the future, in line with the two-pronged strategy of 'automotive' and 'beyond automotive'.

The recent launch of Triphibian™ and Induxis® exemplifies our dedication to serving our customers with new and unique products. Melexis is at the forefront of innovation. This mindset will allow us to maintain a competitive advantage in the markets that we serve."
