Elmos Semiconductor AG (FSE: ELG) anticipates sales growth of 12.6% year on year to 69.4 million Euro in the third quarter of 2018, according to preliminary figures. The EBIT margin is expected to reach 20.2% of sales, which corresponds to an EBIT of 14.0 million Euro.
Due to the positive development, especially in Q3 2018 and current expectations for the remaining year, the 2018 annual guidance for the EBIT margin is now expected to be between 17% and 19% (previously: between 13% and 17%). All other figures of the guidance remain unchanged. Elmos expects sales growth of 8% to 12% for the current financial year. Capital expenditures should amount to less than 15% of sales, with a negative adjusted free cash flow expected. The forecast is based on an exchange rate of 1.20 USD/EUR.
All figures for the third quarter of 2018 are preliminary. Elmos will publish its full results on November 7, 2018.
