Key Points

Positve
  • Siltronic AG (SSLLF) achieved its targets for the first half of 2025, delivering solid results despite subdued demand.
  • The company successfully completed important prime wafer qualifications for its new fab, paving the way for depreciation to begin in August.
  • EBITDA improved in Q2 2025, reaching EUR86 million, up from EUR78 million in Q1, with the EBITDA margin increasing to 26.3%.
  • Siltronic AG (SSLLF) maintained stable market share among major competitors, demonstrating resilience in a challenging environment.
  • The company is on track to complete the phase-out of its small diameters business by the end of July 2025, marking a successful transition process.
Negative
  • Sales declined by 5% quarter-on-quarter, primarily due to FX effects and price differences.
  • The weakening US dollar against the euro posed a significant headwind, leading to a revised full-year sales guidance.
  • Net cash flow remained negative at EUR83 million, with CapEx exceeding depreciation.
  • Elevated inventory levels across key segments continue to weigh on wafer demand, impacting short-term demand recovery.
  • The company anticipates full-year 2025 sales to be in the mid-single-digit range below 2024 levels due to FX developments.
