Siltronic Reports Q1 2025 Performance in Line with Expectations

Siltronic AG announced that its financial performance in Q1 2025 met expectations, despite a 4.1% drop in sales compared to Q4 2024. This decline, bringing sales to EUR 345.8 million, was chiefly attributed to adverse product mix and pricing. The EBITDA margin fell from 25.8% in Q4 2024 to 22.6% in Q1 2025.

The company highlighted ongoing challenges such as weak demand for wafers, uncertainties related to U.S. tariff policies, and FX fluctuations. Despite these, Siltronic retained its sales guidance for 2025 but adjusted its EBITDA margin expectations to 21-25%.

Gross profit and margin experienced declines, and while income tax expenses fell significantly to EUR 3.2 million, the high tax rate persisted. The net result showed improvement, posting a positive EUR 4.3 million, translating to earnings per share of EUR 0.08.
