Despite a weaker EUR/USD exchange rate of 1.09 (previously 1.03), Melexis confirms its outlook for sales to be around 400 million EUR for the first half of 2025. For the same reason, Melexis now expects a gross profit margin around 39% (previously around 40%) and an operating margin around 15% (previously around 16%) for the first half of 2025.
For the full year 2025, Melexis expects CAPEX to be around 50 million EUR.
Sales of 198.2 million EUR in the first quarter of 2025 were within the guidance of 190 to 200 million EUR. The outperforming product lines were smart motor drivers, inductive position sensors and temperature sensors.
Melexis launched 4 new products in Q1 2025. For automotive applications, we launched Melexis' latest magnetic position sensing technology able to perform in a high-voltage environment, supporting the transition from internal combustion powered vehicles to hybrid powertrains. We also added a new driver that supports up to 500 RGB LEDs per MeLiBu® segment, a world premiere allowing automotive manufacturers to further differentiate their offerings. In Beyond Automotive, an infrared thermometer for improved cooking control and safety, and a new current sensor for smart energy monitoring were introduced.
Sales for Beyond Automotive applications represented 12% of total sales in the first quarter of 2025, while 88% of Melexis sales were for automotive applications.
"Amid more volatile market conditions, we remain fully focused on the things within our control, managing the present and preparing the future. Sales in the first quarter of 2025 are in line with expectations as is our first half year outlook in spite of the recent weakening of the US dollar. Q1 2025 sales remained resilient in Asia-Pacific, as well as in Beyond Automotive applications, and I expect that we will progressively convert the increased number of new products and design wins into sales.
We recently announced the next step in our China strategy, designed to stay at the forefront of innovation and to intensify customer collaboration while reducing lead times. Key elements include establishing a locally embedded logistics hub, and moving to end-to-end local manufacturing. Customer feedback is very positive as they appreciate our enhanced commitment to this growing market.
I am convinced that the steps we are taking now are making Melexis stronger and will enable our customers to win in our target markets."
