1. Comments on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

1.1 Summary of most important developments

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Highlights

In the first half of 2022, total revenue amounted to USD 367,495 thousand (first half of 2021: USD 316,375 thousand), an increase of 16.2% compared to the same period in the previous year. Business continued to develop strongly throughout the first half of 2022 and across all end markets.

Revenue in X-FAB's core business, namely automotive, industrial, and medical, came in at USD 299,615 thousand (first half of 2021: USD 252,991 thousand), an increase of 18.4% compared to the same period in the previous year.

X-FAB's core business generated 81.5% of total revenue (first half of 2021: 80.0%).

The Consumer, Communications & Computer business ("CCC business") came in at USD 66,096 thousand (first half of 2021: USD 62,954 thousand). This is a year-on-year increase of 5.0%.

Revenue analysis

In the first half of 2022, demand continued to be strong. Across all its key end markets, X-FAB recorded strong double-digit growth in the first half of 2022, achieving record revenues in the automotive as well as industrial business. In particular, volume production revenues went up considerably, showing the focus on increasing wafer output amid the persisting chip shortage but as well as the accelerating demand driven by the transition to electric vehicles and green energy.

The Group has received support under short-term working and other government support schemes introduced in various countries to alleviate the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the amounts received did not have a significant effect on the results of the Group in the first half of the financial period 2022.

Subsidies under government support programs to alleviate the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as other subsidies designed to offset ongoing operating costs are recognized as a deduction of cost of sales, research and development expenses, and general and administration expenses as appropriate, and have been recognized in the same period as the costs incurred that they are intended to offset provided it is reasonably assured that the Group has been, and will continue to be, in compliance with the terms and conditions to obtain and retain those subsidies. The ongoing commitments under the terms of those subsidies are not significant to the Group's operations.

In responding to the COVID-19 pandemic the Group's primary priority has been to ensure the health and well-being of X-FAB's employees with a variety of safety measures implemented at all locations, ultimately contributing positively to the continuity of production.

There have been no significant effects on the Group's balance sheet or on the carrying value or fair values of financial instruments as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or the Russia-Ukraine war.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales includes material expenses such as raw materials, the costs of maintaining fixed assets, depreciation, staff costs, and costs for external services. In 2022, cost of sales increased by USD 38,643 thousand or 16.1% compared to the first half of 2021 as a consequence of the increase in revenue. Cost of sales in the first half of the previous year was reported after deducting USD 6,563 thousand of government support in 2021 that had been paid to X-FAB in 2020 to offset direct salary and production-related costs as part of a program to offset the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (further details are provided in notes 6.2 and 7.10 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements 2021).

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses amounted to USD 20,679 thousand in the first half of 2022, representing 5.6% of revenue (first half of 2021: USD 17,174 thousand, 5.4% of revenue). The increase of 20.4% (USD 3,505 thousand) compared to the previous year's six-month period is more than proportionate to the change in revenue in 2022. Research and development expenses include grants in the amount of USD 2,660 thousand compared to USD 5,020 thousand in the first half of 2021. The Group's research and development activities focus on development of new fabrication processes, optimization of existing processes using the Group's key process technologies, and development of new integrated circuit features in order to meet customers' analog/mixed-signal needs.

General, administrative, and selling expenses

General and administrative expenses and selling expenses increased by USD 3,416 thousand (17%) compared to the first half of 2021. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in business.

Net finance costs

Net finance costs increased by USD 22,372 thousand in the first half of 2022 compared to the previous year due to higher interest expenses. Reference is made to note 2.5.5.20, Events after the reporting period.

Net income

The Group recorded a profit for the period for the first half of 2022 of USD 26,293 thousand compared to a profit of USD 39,511 thousand in the first half of 2021.

The announcement of third quarter results will take place on October 27, 2022.

1.2 Risk factors

The following risk factors may affect X-FAB's business, financial condition, and results of operations; the list is not exhaustive:

  • Structural trends in the markets for the end-user products produced by X-FAB's customers, or material volatility in demand for these products, may limit X-FAB's ability to maintain or increase sales and profit levels. A global systemic economic or financial crisis, increased political uncertainty, or increased economic protectionism could negatively affect X-FAB.
  • A significant portion of X-FAB's revenue comes from a relatively limited number of customers, with its largest customer being a related party.
  • Due to X-FAB's relatively fixed-cost structure, its ability to grow profitability is dependent on its ability to maintain appropriate utilization levels.
  • X-FAB faces difficulties in forecasting demand and may therefore be unable to match its production capacity to demand.
  • X-FAB may be unsuccessful in its attempts to increase its production capacity and capabilities.
  • X-FAB may not realize all the anticipated benefits from its acquisition of Altis' core business.
  • X-FAB's expectations of an increase in market share by foundries might not occur.
  • X-FAB may face increasing competition.
  • X-FAB may face competitive pricing pressures.
  • X-FAB may face raw material price increases.
  • X-FAB is subject to risks associated with currency fluctuations.
  • X-FAB is subject to risks associated with any form of cyber criminality.

1.3 Events after the reporting period

On July 13, 2022, X-FAB received the arbitration award resulting from an ongoing dispute with one of its suppliers. The award consisted of the following elements:

  • X-FAB is required to pay the supplier USD 36.8 million provided that the supplier delivers material (see note 2.5.5.19).
  • X-FAB is required to pay the supplier pre-award interests of USD 12.4 million (see note 2.5.5.4) and legal expenses of USD 1.4 million (see note 2.5.5.13).

Refer to note 2.5.5.20 of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

1.4 Board of Directors

2.5 Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

2.5.1 Company information

X-FAB Silicon Foundries SE (hereafter referred to as "X-FAB SE," "the parent," "the Company," or "the parent Company" and, together with its subsidiaries, as "X-FAB SE Group" or "the Group") is a European limited company (Societas Europaea/SE) registered under the number BE0882.390.885 in Hasselt, Belgium. The Company is a holding company for the Group's investments in pure-play semiconductor wafer companies. The Company's registered address is Transportstraat 1, 3980 Tessenderlo, Belgium.

The X-FAB SE Group is one of the world's leading pure-play foundry providers specializing in analog/mixedsignal technologies. As a pure-play foundry, the Group develops its own technologies, offering its customers a comprehensive range of product development (design support) and production services. The X-FAB SE Group manufactures integrated circuits to customers' designs, supplying these in the form of silicon wafers.

2.5.2 Basis of preparation

2.5.2.1 Statement of compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of X-FAB SE Group were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on September 1, 2022.

2.5.2.2 Use of estimates and judgements

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, management has made judgements, assumptions, and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Measurement of fair values

A number of the Group's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, both for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

If third-party information is used to measure fair values, the evidence obtained from third parties is assessed to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of IFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible.

Fair values are classified into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

  • Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
  • Level 3: techniques that use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorized in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Group measures transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

2.5.3 Summary of significant accounting policies

The accounting policies applied are consistent with those applied in the annual consolidated financial statements ended December 31, 2021.

2.5.4 New accounting pronouncements

Total (32,643) (10,272)

Other interest of USD 12,362 thousand refers to an arbitration award as discussed in note 2.5.5.20.

Exchange rate expenses primarily include amounts of USD 4,100 thousand (2021: USD 4,511 thousand) resulting from the translation of cash balances denominated in Malaysian ringgit and USD 5,685 thousand (2021: USD 863 thousand) cash balances denominated in euros.

2.5.5.5 Income taxes

Income tax expense is recognized at an amount determined by multiplying the profit before tax for the interim reporting period by the expected effective tax rate of the year.

The income tax expense comprised the following:

in thousands of U.S. dollars For the six months ended June 30
2022 2021
Current taxes:

Adjustment of prior years' tax charges - -
(2,486) (2,436)
Deferred taxes (502) 2,831
Total (2,988) 395

Changes in recognized deferred tax assets resulted in a decrease of deferred tax assets of USD 503 thousand (2021: increase of USD 2,831 thousand). The decrease in deferred tax assets is mainly due to derecognition of previously recognized deferred tax assets arising on property, plant, and equipment in Malaysia amounting to USD 354 thousand (2021: recognition of USD 2,857 thousand), which is the estimated pro-rata amount of the expected recognition for the full financial year 2022 based on latest forecasts.

The assumptions made and the method applied to calculate deferred taxes were consistent with the methods used at December 31, 2021. The actual income tax expense for the period primarily consists of accruals made for income taxes for the year to be paid in Malaysia, France, and Germany.

2.5.5.6 Earnings per share

The earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit for the period attributable to the ordinary shareholders (as reported in the condensed interim statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income) by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period.

There were 130,781,669 shares in issue at January 1 and June 30 in both periods, and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding was 130,631,921 in both periods.
