“After a challenging 2009 fiscal year, we are executing extremely well in the current up-cycle. We have come a long way in improving profitability and are now beginning to take aim at our ambitious goal of 15 percent and greater overall Segment Result margin”, said Peter Bauer, CEO of Infineon Technologies AG.
Summary outlook for the fourth quarter and the full 2010 fiscal year
For the fourth quarter of the 2010 fiscal year, Infineon expects a high single-digit percentage increase in revenues and an increase in Segment Result margin of one to two percentage points.
Given the results for the first nine months and the outlook for the fourth quarter of the 2010 fiscal year, Infineon is now anticipating revenue growth for the 2010 fiscal year

compared to the 2009 fiscal year to be a mid to high 40’s percentage, up from a high 30’s percentage in the previous outlook. Infineon now expects Segment Result margin for the full year to be a low teens percentage. The company now anticipates investments of more than Euro 400 million, up from an earlier guidance of more than Euro 300 million.
“Our high level of innovation and our strong customer relationships are driving strong growth in the 2010 fiscal year and should lead to further market share gains. Within our current portfolio of activities, last quarter marked an all-time-high for Segment Result margin and free cash flow was yet again solidly in excess of Euro 100 million”, said Peter Bauer, CEO of Infineon Technologies AG.
Detailed review of the group financials of the third quarter of the 2010 fiscal year
Revenues in the third quarter increased by 17 percent sequentially to Euro 1,209 million, reflecting strong demand in all of the company’s operating segments, especially driven by the Wireless Solutions (WLS) and Industrial & Multimarket (IMM) segments. In addition, the stronger U.S. Dollar contributed about five percentage points of sequential revenue growth.
Third quarter combined Segment Result was Euro 163 million, a significant increase of 48 percent compared to Euro 110 million in the second quarter. Whilst the stronger U.S. Dollar had a positive effect on revenues, there was no benefit on the Segment Result level, mainly due to hedging expenses and increases in U.S.-Dollar-denominated-costs. Nonetheless, combined Segment Result margin in the third quarter reached 13.5 percent, in-line with guidance and up from 10.6 percent in the prior quarter.
For the third quarter, income from continuing operations was Euro 121 million, up from Euro 81 million in the second quarter. Infineon reported income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, of Euro 5 million for the third quarter, up from a loss of Euro 2 million in the preceding quarter. Resulting net income for the group was Euro 126 million in the third quarter. This represented an increase of 59 percent compared to net income of Euro 79 million in the second quarter. For the third quarter, basic earnings per share were Euro 0.12 and the diluted earnings per share were Euro 0.11, compared to Euro 0.07, basic and diluted, for the second quarter.
Investments, which the company defines as the sum of purchases of property, plant and equipment, purchases of intangible assets and capitalized research & development

(R&D) assets, were Euro 117 million in the third quarter, up from Euro 63 million in the prior quarter, reflecting increased investments in the company’s production facilities. Depreciation and amortization remained almost unchanged at Euro 96 million, compared to Euro 97 million in the prior quarter. Despite the strong increase in capital spending, free cash flow2 from continuing operations for the third quarter was Euro 134 million, down only slightly from Euro 141 million for the second quarter.
At the end of the third quarter, Infineon’s gross cash position2 was Euro 1,514 million. The decrease compared to Euro 1,667 million at the end of the second quarter, despite strong free cash flow from continuing operations, was driven mainly by the scheduled repayment of the company’s 2010 convertible notes with a nominal value of Euro 255 million. The strong free cash flow generation drove an increase in Infineon’s net cash position2 to Euro 1,108 million as of June 30, 2010, compared to Euro 995 million as of March 31, 2010.
Detailed outlook for the fourth quarter of the 2010 fiscal year: High single-digit sequential sales growth and an increase in Segment Result margin of one to two percentage points
Assuming a U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate of 1.30, Infineon expects revenues for the fourth quarter of the 2010 fiscal year to increase sequentially by a high single-digit percentage. Fourth quarter combined Segment Result margin should post an increase of one to two percentage points from third quarter levels.
The sequential increase in revenues is expected to be driven mainly by the WLS segment, with the IMM and Chip Card & Security (CCS) segments growing at a slower pace. ATV revenues are expected to stay approximately flat.
Detailed outlook for the 2010 fiscal year: mid to high 40’s year-over-year revenue growth with low teens Segment Result margin; investments to total more than Euro 400 million
Given the results of the first three quarters of the 2010 fiscal year and the fourth quarter outlook, Infineon is again raising its guidance for the 2010 fiscal year as a whole.
The company now expects full-year revenues to grow by a mid to high 40’s percentage compared to the 2009 fiscal year, at an assumed U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate of 1.30 for the last quarter of the 2010 fiscal year. This compares to a previous expectation of a high 30’s percentage for sales growth. Combined Segment Result margin is now expected to be a low teens percentage of revenue.

After several quarters of fully loaded manufacturing facilities and allocation across a wide range of products and in light of continued high levels of order intake, Infineon is increasing guidance for investments. The company now anticipates an amount of more than Euro 400 million for the 2010 fiscal year. This compares to the previous 2010 guidance of more than Euro 300 million and reported investments of Euro 154 million in the 2009 fiscal year. The company maintains its guidance for depreciation and amortization at approximately Euro 400 million for the 2010 fiscal year compared to Euro 513 million in the 2009 fiscal year.

Experiencing continued strong demand across all regions and throughout the entire customer base, third quarter sales in the ATV segment increased by five percent compared to the prior quarter to Euro 333 million. This was ahead of earlier guidance calling for flat sequential revenues as all efforts were undertaken to meet customer demand despite certain capacity constraints. ATV Segment Result increased only slightly on a sequential basis despite higher turnover, due to hedging expenses and higher R&D spending in connection with 65-nanometer microcontrollers and integrated power-logic-products.

IMM segment sales increased 18 percent sequentially to an all time high of Euro 373 million driven by strong demand for ASICs and power modules as well as chips for the consumer and computing markets. Strong revenue growth drove an increase in IMM Segment Result to Euro 82 million with Segment Result margin of 22 percent despite hedging expenses.
Growth in payment and government ID applications, as well as the strength of the U.S. Dollar, led to an 11 percent increase in CCS revenues compared to the prior quarter, to Euro 110 million. CCS Segment Result improved sequentially to Euro 6 million, due to higher revenues and better product mix, despite hedging expenses.
In the third quarter, the WLS segment recorded substantial revenue growth of 30 percent versus the prior quarter to Euro 346 million. This was mainly due to the very successful ramp-up of new smart phone and entry level phone platforms at several major customers, but also reflected the stronger U.S. Dollar. WLS Segment Result improved to Euro 24 million, reflecting the healthy top line development, despite increased R&D spending to support a growing number of projects and despite the negative effects of hedging.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
Gross and Net Cash/(Debt) Position*
Infineon defines gross cash position as cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale financial assets, and net cash/(debt) position as gross cash position less short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt, and long-term debt. Since Infineon holds a portion of its available monetary resources in the form of readily available-for-sale financial assets, which for IFRS purposes are not considered to be “cash”, it reports its gross and net cash/(debt) positions to provide investors with an understanding of the Company’s overall liquidity. The gross and net cash/(debt) position is determined as follows from the condensed consolidated balance sheets, without adjustment to the IFRS amounts presented:
 
*   Includes only amounts from continuing operations.

Free Cash Flow*
Infineon defines free cash flow as net cash from operating and investing activities excluding purchases or sales of available-for-sale financial assets. Since Infineon holds a portion of its available monetary resources in the form of available-for-sale financial assets and operates in a capital intensive industry, it reports free cash flow to provide investors with a measure that can be used to evaluate changes in liquidity after taking capital expenditures into account. Free cash flow is not intended to represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, since debt service requirements or other non-discretionary expenditures are not deducted. The free cash flow is determined as follows from the consolidated cash flow statements:
 
*   Includes only amounts from continuing operations.
