Business development
In the second quarter, X-FAB generated revenues amounting to USD
188.8 million, at the upper end of the guided USD 180-190 million,
up 17% year-on-year and 6% quarter-on-quarter.
Revenues in X-FAB’s core markets – automotive, industrial, and
medical – reached USD 154.7 million, up 20% year-on-year and 7%
quarter-on-quarter. Their share in the Group’s total revenues
further increased to 82%.
X-FAB recorded strong double-digit growth in the second quarter
across all its key end markets and achieved record revenues in the
automotive as well as industrial business. Revenues were supported
by a favorable product mix, price increases as well as growth in
quantities produced, reflecting the focus on increasing wafer
output amidst the persisting chip shortage, but also the
accelerating demand driven by the transition to electric vehicles
and green energy. Silicon carbide (SiC) revenues continued to grow
strongly in the second quarter amounting to USD 12.8 million, up
78% year-on-year and 5% quarter-on-quarter. In addition, the
successful ramp up in volume production of X-FAB’s automotive 180nm
technology at X-FAB France contributed to the automotive growth of
the second quarter. This brought the share of the French site’s
revenues based on X-FAB technologies up to 52% while the legacy
business further decreased, in line with targets.
In the second quarter, X-FAB’s CCC business (Consumer,
Communication & Computer) recorded revenues of USD 33.6
million, up 4% year-on-year and 3% quarter-on-quarter.
Prototyping revenues in the second quarter came in at USD 20.5
million, flat year-on-year and down 17% quarter-on-quarter. This is
mainly due to several customer-specific projects having reached
production milestone, and thus, now being accounted as volume
production revenues.
Demand continued to be strong throughout the past quarter. This
is however not reflected in second quarter bookings, which totaled
at USD 162.6 million compared to USD 239.3 million in the previous
quarter. In light of ongoing negotiations relating to price
increases as well as long-term agreements with customers, X-FAB had
paused accepting firm orders for 2023 until commercial conditions
are fixed. Progress is being made to achieve the target to cover
about 70% of X-FAB’s business with long-term agreements.
Due to persistently high demand, the allocation of capacity had
to be continued throughout the quarter and X-FAB remains in close
contact with its customers to agree on minimum quantities required
to ensure supply chain stability on the customers’ side.

Operations update
Operational excellence and productivity improvements continued
to be a primary focus at all manufacturing sites to meet the
customers’ demand. The delivery of new equipment as well as the
ongoing activities to have them installed and qualified were key to
eliminate production bottlenecks and increase wafer output.
X-FAB proceeded with its capacity expansion program across all
sites to prepare for the expected long-term growth and kicked off a
major expansion project at X-FAB Sarawak, Malaysia. In line with
the high demand for the automotive 180nm technology, X-FAB plans to
invest more than USD 500 million over the next three years to
significantly increase manufacturing capacity of this technology
platform. Once the investment is completed, the site’s processing
capacity will increase by about 50%.
Full-year capital expenditures are expected to come in at around
USD 200 million. In the second quarter, they totaled USD 36.8
million, down 25% from the previous quarter. This is partially due
to the longer than expected delivery schedules for equipment due to
current tight supply chains. Thanks to the risk mitigation measures
that X-FAB has put in place to ensure a reliable supply of raw
materials, there were no supply bottlenecks impacting X-FAB’s
production in the second quarter.
X-FAB also continued to expand capacities for SiC processing as
well as SiC epitaxy, thus responding to the accelerating demand.
Quarterly SiC bookings came in at USD 14.8 million, up 21%
year-on-year and down 31% quarter-on-quarter following an
extraordinarily strong previous quarter. The development of
standard SiC process blocks, which allow customers to benefit from
faster technology releases and a reduced time-to-market, keeps
drawing interest from new customers, resulting in a marked increase
of X-FAB’s SiC customer base.
Financial update
Second quarter EBITDA was USD 42.5 million with an EBITDA margin
of 22.5%, within the guided 20-24%. Despite strong revenue growth,
the EBITDA margin went down 0.5 percentage points compared to the
previous quarter. Rising costs continued to put some pressure on
margins. Additionally, there was an exceptional item concerning the
award of an arbitration between X-FAB and a supplier. X-FAB made a
provision for a portion of the award. This relates to interest
payments in the amount of USD 12.4 million in the finance result as
well as legal fees of USD 1.4 million in the general &
administrative expenses.
In absolute terms, EBITDA was up 3% quarter-on-quarter and down
2% year-on-year due to a favorable one-off effect in the second
quarter last year related to USD 6.5 million received in the
context of a Covid-19-related government support scheme. Excluding
this, the EBITDA increased 15% year-on-year.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter
amounted to USD 250.8 million, down 3% compared to the previous
quarter end.
With a share of Euro-denominated sales amounting to 42% during
the second quarter, the current weakness of the Euro had a negative
impact on revenues. At a constant US-Dollar/Euro exchange rate of
1.20 as experienced in the previous year’s quarter, revenues of the
second quarter would have been USD 10.5 million higher and EBITDA
margin would have been 22.5%.
Management comments
Rudi De Winter, CEO of X-FAB Group, said: “In the current
economic environment that is marked by a high level of uncertainty,
I am very glad about the business X-FAB is in. We continue to see
an unprecedented strong demand for our technologies, which is
mainly driven by the accelerating electrification. This holds
particularly true for the automotive market, where X-FAB has a
strong presence. I would like to thank all X-FAB employees for
being strongly engaged to maintain production lines running at full
steam despite the challenges arising from Covid-19-related higher
absence rates as well as increased logistical challenges.”
