Neubiberg, 5 August 2024 – Today, Infineon Technologies AG is reporting results for the third quarter of its 2024 fiscal year (period ended 30 June 2024).

 

"In a market environment that remains challenging, Infineon continues to hold up well," says Jochen Hanebeck, CEO of Infineon. "The recovery in our target markets is progressing only slowly. Prolonged weak economic momentum has resulted in inventory levels in many areas overlaying end demand. In addition to managing the current demand cycle, we are working on further strengthening our competitiveness through the "Step Up" structural improvement program."

 

GROUP PERFORMANCE IN THE THIRD QUARTER OF THE 2024 FISCAL YEAR

In the third quarter of the 2024 fiscal year, Infineon’s Group revenue improved slightly to €3,702 million, up 2 percent from the revenue generated in the prior quarter of €3,632 million. The main contributors to this increase in revenue were the Automotive (ATV) and Power & Sensor Systems (PSS) segments. Revenue in the Green Industrial Power (GIP) and Connected Secure Systems (CSS) segments was virtually unchanged from the previous quarter.

Revenue in the Automotive segment rose in the third quarter of the 2024 fiscal year to €2,112 million, up from €2,078 million in the prior quarter. The 2 percent increase was the result of stronger demand in the area of software-defined vehicles including E/E architecture, benefitting in particular microcontrollers.

The Segment Result Margin rose to 25.4 percent, up from 24.6 percent in the prior quarter.

 

In the third quarter of the 2024 fiscal year, revenue in the Green Industrial Power segment remained virtually unchanged from the prior quarter at €475 million, compared with €469 million in the second quarter of the fiscal year. Demand in the areas of electric buses and trucks, trains as well as home appliances increased slightly, while demand was somewhat lower in automation and industrial drives as well as air conditioning systems. The Segment Result achieved in the third quarter of the current fiscal year was €88 million, compared with €89 million in the second quarter of the 2024 fiscal year.

Revenue in the Power & Sensor Systems segment rose in the third quarter of the 2024 fiscal year by 5 percent to €749 million, up from €713 million in the prior quarter. The reason for the increase in revenue was rising demand for components in the area of servers and data centers as well as USB controllers and silicon microphones.

The Segment Result Margin improved slightly to 9.3 percent, from 9.0 percent in the second quarter.

At €42 million, the Segment Result remained unchanged. The Segment Result Margin improved slightly to 11.5 percent, up from 11.3 percent in the second quarter of the current fiscal year.

 

OUTLOOK FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER OF THE 2024 FISCAL YEAR

Assuming an exchange rate of US$1.10 to the euro, Infineon expects to generate revenue of around €4.0 billion in the fourth quarter of the 2024 fiscal year. It is anticipated that revenue will increase in all four segments compared with the preceding quarter. In the Power & Sensor Systems and Connected Secure Systems segments, the growth rate is expected to significantly exceed the forecast growth rate for the Group. In the Automotive and Green Industrial Power segments, the growth rate is expected to be lower than the average rate for the Group. It is expected that the Segment Result Margin will be around 20 percent.

 

OUTLOOK FOR THE 2024 FISCAL YEAR

Based on the results for the first three quarters and the outlook for the fourth quarter, Infineon expects to generate revenue of around €15.0 billion in the 2024 fiscal year. In the Automotive segment, revenue growth for the year is expected to be about 3 percent. The decrease in revenue in the Green Industrial Power segment is expected to be a low-teens percentage figure. The decline in revenue in the Power & Sensor Systems segment compared with the prior fiscal year is forecast to be in the high-teens and in the Connected Secure Systems segment in the mid-twenties percentage range.

 

With expected Group revenue in the 2024 fiscal year of €15.0 billion, the adjusted gross margin is still forecast to be in the low-forties percentage range and the Segment Result Margin to be around 20 percent.

 

Investments – which Infineon defines as the sum of investments in property, plant and equipment, investments in other intangible assets and capitalized development costs – are expected to reach around €2.8 billion in the 2024 fiscal year. The focus here is on investment in manufacturing modules for compound semiconductors on the Kulim site (Malaysia) and for analog/mixed-signal components in Dresden (Germany).

 

Depreciation and amortization are anticipated to be around €1.9 billion in the 2024 fiscal year, of which around €400 million is attributable to amortization of purchase price allocations arising mainly from the acquisition of Cypress. Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which is adjusted for investment in large frontend buildings and the purchase of GaN Systems, is expected to be about €1.5 billion, which is about 10 percent of the forecast revenue for the year. Reported Free Cash Flow should be around minus €200 million. Without the purchase price payment for the acquisition of GaN Systems reported Free Cash Flow would probably reach around plus €600 million. Return on Capital Employed (RoCE) is forecast to be around 9 percent.

 

3 Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share (diluted) should not be seen as a replacement or superior performance indicator, but rather as additional information to the net income and earnings per share (diluted) determined in accordance with IFRS.
