Siltronic AG Reports Mixed Financial Results for Q1 2025

BERLIN — Siltronic AG, a leading German manufacturer of hyperpure silicon wafers, has reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2025. The company, which operates in the Information Technology sector, specifically within the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry, saw a slight increase in sales but faced challenges in profitability.

Sales Performance

For the first quarter, Siltronic reported sales of €345.8 million, a modest increase from €343.5 million in the same period the previous year. The company is listed on the Xetra stock exchange and has a market capitalization of €1.12 billion. Despite the increase in sales, the company experienced a decline in EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization).

Profitability and Margins

Siltronic has adjusted its financial outlook for 2025 due to a decline in profits during the first quarter. The company has lowered its full-year core profit margin target, although it has maintained its sales outlook. This adjustment comes amid ongoing challenges, including weak demand for wafers and high inventory levels among customers. Michael Heckmeier, CEO of Siltronic, confirmed these challenges during the earnings release.

Market Conditions

The semiconductor industry has faced various pressures, including US tariffs, which have impacted demand. Despite these challenges, Siltronic has managed to exceed market expectations, which had anticipated a loss. The company’s price-to-earnings ratio stands at 17.72, with a close price of €39 as of April 28, 2025. The stock has experienced significant volatility over the past year, with a 52-week high of €79.1 and a low of €32.

Future Outlook

Despite the current challenges, Siltronic remains optimistic about its prospects for 2025. The company is scheduled to present its full financial results for the quarter ending March 31, 2025, on April 30, 2025. Analysts have revised their expectations, with some predicting a loss in earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter.
