Neubiberg, Germany, 3 August 2021 - Today, Infineon Technologies AG is reporting results for the third quarter of the 2021 fiscal year (period ended 30 June 2021).

"Demand for semiconductors is unbroken, as they play a key role in enabling the energy transition and digitalization. Currently, however, the market is faced with an extremely tight supply situation," said Dr. Reinhard Ploss, CEO of Infineon. "Inventories are at a historic low; our chips are being shipped from our fabs straight into the end applications. Under these circumstances, any pandemic- related restrictions on manufacturing, such as those recently imposed in Malaysia, are especially grave. We are doing our utmost to improve matters along the entire value chain and are working as flexibly as possible in the best interests of our customers. At the same time, we are continuously building up additional capacity."

The Cypress Semiconductor Corporation ("Cypress") has been fully consolidated since 16 April 2020. The comparability of current figures with the same period of the previous year is therefore limited.

Group performance in third quarter of 2021 fiscal year

In the third quarter of the current fiscal year, Group revenuerose by €22 million to €2,722 million, compared to €2,700 million in the preceding three-month period. Despite continued strong demand, revenue grew by only 1 percent due to pandemic-related constraints on our manufacturing capacity in Melaka, Malaysia, and the aftermath of the winter storm in Austin, Texas. These various factors have primarily affected the Automotive (ATV) and Power & Sensor Systems (PSS) segments, both of which saw a decline in revenue compared to the previous quarter. By contrast, the Industrial Power Control (IPC) and Connected Secure Systems (CSS) segments recorded revenue growth.

The gross marginimproved significantly from 36.0 percent to 39.1 percent quarter- on-quarter. The adjusted gross marginfor the three-month period under report came in at 41.8 percent, up from 39.3 percent in the preceding quarter.

Free cash flow2 continued to improve in the third quarter of the current fiscal year, rising to €477 million, compared with €407 million in the previous quarter. Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operationswent up from

€742 million to €762 million.

At the end of the third quarter, the gross cash positionstood at €3,863 million, up from €3,444 million at 31 March 2021. Net debtdecreased further from

€3,415 million to €2,945 million over the course of the three-month period. Gross debtamounted to €6,808 million at the end of the third quarter, compared with €6,859 million at 31 March 2021.

Outlook for the fourth quarter of the 2021 fiscal year

Based on an assumed exchange rate of US$1.20 to the euro, Infineon expects to generate revenueof around €2.9 billion in the fourth quarter of the 2021 fiscal year. While demand is rising at a dynamic pace, the overall supply situation remains tight due to various factors, including the pandemic-related manufacturing restrictions in Melaka, Malaysia, at the beginning of the quarter. In light of ongoing bottlenecks, revenue generated by the ATV and IPC segments is likely to remain at a similar level to the previous quarter. The CSS segment is forecast to record a slightly higher level of revenue. PSS segment revenue is set to rise sharply, mainly due to the recovery of demand for smartphones. At the level of revenue currently forecast, the Segment Result Marginis expected to come in at about 19 percent.

Outlook for the 2021 fiscal year

Based on the predicted level of revenue for the fourth quarter and an assumed unchanged exchange rate of US$1.20 to the euro, revenueis expected to total around €11 billion for the full 2021 fiscal year. At this level, the Segment Result Marginis forecast to come in at above 18 percent.

Investmentsin property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and capitalized development costs for the 2021 fiscal year are forecast at an unchanged level of around €1.6 billion. Depreciation and amortizationare also expected to remain unchanged at between €1.5 billion and €1.6 billion, of which approximately €500 million is attributable to depreciation and amortization from purchase price allocations arising mainly in connection with the acquisition of Cypress and to a

lesser extent with the acquisition of International Rectifier. Free cash flowis now anticipated to come in at around €1.5 billion.

Besides geopolitical and macroeconomic factors, the economic disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic makes accurate prediction difficult. Key factors influencing the expected development of revenue and earnings during the pandemic will be the progression of global infection rates over time, the progress of vaccination campaigns, possible restrictions on economic activities, effects on production and supply chains, and the level and effectiveness of governmental stimulus programs.
