REVIEW OF GROUP FINANCIALS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE 2013 FISCAL YEAR
Group revenue of Infineon Technologies AG in the first quarter of the 2013
fiscal year totalled EUR851 million, 13 percent downon the EUR982 million
recorded in the previous quarter. This performance was in line with
expectations.
Segment Result fell from EUR116 million in the fourth quarter of the 2012
fiscal year to EUR44 million in the first quarter of the current fiscal
year, causing the Segment Result Margin to decline from 11.8 percent to 5.2
percent. The decrease in Segment Result and Segment Result Margin in the
first quarter was attributable to the sharp drop in revenue. Despite a
negative impact of EUR6 million arising in connection with the euro/US
dollar exchange rate, the scale of the decrease was in line with
expectations. The measures aimed at stabilizing the margin announced in
November in conjunction with the publication of the fourth quarter and 2012
fiscal year results are taking effect.
Income from continuing operations in the first quarter of the 2013 fiscal
year amounted to EUR26 million, compared with EUR129 million recorded in
the final quarter of the previous fiscal year. The first quarter loss from
discontinued operations was negative EUR7 million, marginally down from the
positive EUR9 million reported in the fourth quarter. Overall, net income
fell from EUR138 million in the fourth quarter to EUR19 million in the
first quarter of the current fiscal year. Earnings per share declined
quarter-on-quarter from EUR0.13 to EUR0.02 (basic and diluted).
Investments - which the Company defines as the sum of purchases of
property, plant and equipment, purchases of intangible assets and
capitalized research and development assets - amounted to EUR88 million in
the first quarter of the 2013 fiscal year, compared to investments of
EUR246 million one quarter earlier. The depreciation and amortization
expense increased marginally to EUR116 million, compared to a
fourth-quarter expense of EUR115 million.
Free cash flow from continuing operations deteriorated from positive EUR47
million in the previous quarter to negative EUR128 million in the first
quarter. The principal reasons for the first quarter's negative free cash
flow were the reduction in net income, significantly lower trade payables
due to reduced investment levels and a cash-relevant decrease in current
provisions.
Infineon repurchased 6 million of its own shares during the first quarter
of the 2013 fiscal year for a total of EUR38 million with put options at an
average exercise price of EUR6.29 per share. The effective price paid per
share, net of all premiums for options exercised or expired during the
quarter, was EUR5.74.
These two factors - negative free cash flow and the repurchase of own
shares via put options - resulted in a reduction in cash levels over the
course of the quarter under report, with the gross cash position down from
EUR2.235 billion at the end of September 2012 to EUR2.081 billion at
December 31, 2012 and the net cash position down from EUR1.940 billion to
EUR1.768 billion over the same period.
OUTLOOK FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF THE 2013 FISCAL YEAR
Revenue is forecast to rise by a mid single digit percentage in the second
quarter of the 2013 fiscal year despite the weakness of the US dollar. The
Industrial Power Control (IPC), Power Management&Multimarket (PMM), Chip
Card&Security (CCS) and Other Operating (OOS) segments are all expected
to report revenues at similar levels to the previous quarter, while the
Automotive (ATV) segment is likely to see a distinct increase. The second
quarter Segment Result is expected to be slightly up in absolute terms
compared to the first quarter.
UNCHANGED OUTLOOK FOR 2013 FISCAL YEAR
For the purposes of the outlook for the remainder of the year, Infineon has
adjusted its assumed exchange rate from US dollar 1.25 to US dollar 1.30 to
the euro. Despite the negative impact of this adjustment, Infineon
continues to forecast a mid-to-high single digit percentage decrease in
revenue in the 2013 fiscal year compared to one year earlier. Revenues
generated by the ATV, PMM and CCS segments are expected to fare better than
the Group average whereas IPC is expected to fare significantly worse than
the Group average. Revenue of the OOS segment will again fall sharply, as
sales to the previously sold Wireline Communications and Wireless mobile
phone businesses are further reduced.
In margin terms, Infineon continues to forecast a mid-to-high single digit
Segment Result Margin despite the unfavorable development of the euro/US
dollar exchange rate. The measures aimed at stabilizing the margin
announced in November in conjunction with fourth quarter and 2012 fiscal
year reporting will continue to have a positive impact on Segment Result in
the coming quarters.
Investments - defined as the sum of purchases of property, plant and
equipment, purchases of intangible assets and capitalized research and
development expenditures - are likely to be in the region of EUR400 million
for the full fiscal year, compared to depreciation and amortization of
approximately EUR470 million.
