Soitec Reports Fourth Quarter Revenue and Full-Year Results of
Fiscal Year 2025
SOITEC REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER REVENUE
AND
FULL-YEAR RESULTS OF FISCAL YEAR 2025
- Q4’25 revenue reached €327m,
stable at constant exchange rates and perimeter compared to
Q4’24
- FY’25 revenue amounted to
€891m, down 9% both on a reported basis and at constant exchange
rates and perimeter, in line with revised guidance
- Soitec accelerated
diversification confirmed with POI becoming Soitec’s fourth product
to generate annual revenue of around $100m or more
- Robust FY’25
EBITDA1
margin2 at
33.5%, current EBIT margin at 15.2%
- Positive FY’25 Free Cash
Flow, at €26m, while maintaining strong R&D and industrial
investments
- Q1’26 revenue, impacted by
the anticipated phase-out of Imager-SOI, is expected down around
20% year-on-year at constant exchange rates and perimeter
(Imager-SOI Q1’25 revenue: $25m)
- FY’26 Capex cash-out
expected around €150m, down from €230m in FY’25
- Strong technology megatrends
and Soitec’s innovative engineered substrates continue to sustain
Soitec addressable market growth from ~5m wafers (200mm equivalent)
in 2024 to ~12m in 2030
- Given the current reduced
visibility and market uncertainties, the Group withdraws any
guidance, whether related to all or part of its activities. This
includes the projection of a quite limited growth for FY’26, as
well as the medium-term ambition to reach a revenue target of $2bn
with an EBITDA margin of approximately 40%. Going forward, the
Group will only provide revenue guidance on a quarterly
basis
Bernin (Grenoble), France, May
27th,
2025 – Soitec (Euronext Paris), a world leader in
designing and manufacturing innovative semiconductor materials,
today announced its revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2025 and its full-year results of fiscal year 2025 (ended on March
31st, 2025). The financial statements3 were
approved by the Board of Directors during its meeting today.
Pierre Barnabé, Soitec’s CEO, commented:
“On the back of strong sales
in the fourth quarter, we closed fiscal year 2025 in line with our
revised guidance, with a high-single digit decline in full-year
revenue. In this context, strict cost management enabled us to
deliver a robust EBITDA margin, generate positive free cash flow,
and continue investing both in innovation and in our industrial
capacity - all while maintaining a very healthy balance
sheet.
In a volatile and uncertain economic
environment, we are focusing on parameters within our control to
strengthen our fundamentals and accelerate our diversification
beyond RF-SOI and beyond Mobile Communications. With the growing
adoption of our new products by industry leaders - POI becoming an
industry standard for innovative smartphones and Photonics-SOI
gaining traction among industry leaders to equip the next
generation of AI Datacenters - we have been able to partially
offset the ongoing RF-SOI inventory correction and mitigate the
impact of the weakness in the automotive industry. While RF-SOI
remains by far the first contributor to our revenue, three other
products - FD-SOI, Power-SOI and POI - are now each generating
around or above 100 million US dollars in
revenue.
This environment however provides
limited visibility. We have therefore decided to suspend all
previously issued guidance and to only provide revenue guidance on
a quarterly basis. We expect Q1’26 to reflect the impact of the
Imager-SOI phase out, which we had already anticipated and prepared
for. Q1’26 revenue is hence expected to be down around 20% year on
year, Imager-SOI contributing 25 million dollars in
Q1’25.
We remain confident in our solid
fundamentals and in our ability to accelerate growth as soon as our
end markets begin to recover. Our strong technology megatrends -
5G, Energy Efficiency and Artificial Intelligence - and our unique
expertise in engineered substrates continue to support the
expansion of our Addressable Market from around 5 million wafers
(200-mm equivalent) in 2024 to around 12 million in
2030”, added Pierre Barnabé.

Soitec revenue reached 327 million Euros in
Q4’25, down 3% on a reported basis compared with revenue of 337
million Euros achieved in Q4’24. This reflects a 1% year-on-year
decline at constant exchange rates and perimeter, a negative
scope4 effect of 3% related to the divestment of Dolphin
Design’s businesses, and a positive currency impact of 1%.
Each one of Soitec’s three divisions recorded an
almost stable organic change in revenue in Q4’25 compared to the
high base achieved in Q4’24. The slight organic decline in Mobile
Communications revenue was partly offset by a small increase in
Edge & Cloud AI revenue, while Automotive & Industrial was
stable. This is however reflecting different dynamics per product,
with further strong traction in POI wafers for smartphone filters
and in Photonics-SOI wafers for data centers.
Mobile
Communications
In the context of a moderately recovering
smartphone market and with a progressively improving inventory
situation across the supply chain, Mobile Communications revenue
reached 220 million Euros in Q4’25, down 2% at constant
exchange rates and perimeter year-on-year.
On RF-SOI wafers, Soitec
benefited, as expected, from a usually strong seasonal stock
rebuilding at the beginning of the calendar year. Volumes of RF-SOI
wafers sold were higher in Q4’25 than in Q4’24, with a slightly
negative price / mix effect, thus partly mitigating a significant
decrease in 200-mm RF-SOI volumes.
Sales of POI
(Piezoelectric-on-Insulator) wafers dedicated to RF
filters continued to grow sequentially from one quarter to another,
translating into a sharp year-on-year increase in Q4’25. The
adoption of Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filters on POI continued to
accelerate. Ten customers are in volume production, and thirteen
others in qualification phase.
Sales of FD-SOI wafers, the
only solution for fully integrated 5G mmWave system-on-chip, have
been slightly growing in Q4’25 compared to Q4’24.
Automotive &
Industrial
Automotive & Industrial revenue reached 45
million Euros in Q4’25, flat at constant exchange rates and
perimeter compared to Q4’24, despite the ongoing difficulties of
the automotive market.
After the particularly low level reached in
Q3’25, volumes of Power-SOI wafers were
significantly higher in Q4’25 than in Q4’24, although with a
slightly negative price effect. Sales benefited from customer
restocking at the beginning of their calendar year. Despite very
low visibility, OEMs were keen to avoid stockouts in the event of a
market rebound, but this most likely came at the expense of volumes
in H1’26. As the Automotive market recovers, the outlook for
Battery Management Systems remains strong and supports Soitec’s
product roadmap towards 300-mm, further strengthening its
positioning.
Conversely, after a very strong performance in
Q3’25, FD-SOI wafer sales recorded a slight
year-on-year decline in Q4’25 compared to Q4’24. Automotive FD-SOI
continues to be mostly driven by adoption for microcontrollers,
radar and wireless connectivity, delivering superior performance
and greater power efficiency compared to other existing
technologies.
Regarding
SmartSiCTM, while
Soitec initiated a sixth customer qualification process early
Q4’25, the slower-than-expected growth of the electric vehicle
market, combined with the longer than initially anticipated
customers’ qualification cycles confirm the previously mentioned
delay in the initially expected wafer production ramp-up.
Edge & Cloud
AI
Edge & Cloud AI revenue reached 63 million
Euros in Q4’25, up 2% at constant exchange rates and perimeter
compared to Q4’24. On a reported basis revenue went down 11% as a
result of the divestment of Dolphin Design’s businesses.
Sales of Photonics-SOI wafers
recorded another high sequential increase in Q4’25, as Soitec
continues to benefit from a strong momentum in Cloud infrastructure
investments across the Big Tech and Artificial Intelligence supply
chains. On a year-on-year basis, sales were much higher than in
Q4’24. As the exponential growth of AI-related computing power
capabilities drives the need for more powerful and more
energy-efficient data centers, Photonics-SOI has become a standard
technology platform for high-speed and high bandwidth optical
interconnections in data centers. Photonics-SOI are adopted in
pluggable optical transceivers and used for the development of
Co-Packaged Optics.
In Q4’25 sales of FD-SOI wafers
were above the level reached in Q3’25 but slightly down
year-on-year compared to the high level recorded in Q4’24. This is
mainly the consequence of deliveries requests put on hold by a
couple of customers. FD-SOI technology is a key enabler for
AI-driven consumer and industrial IoT applications due to its
unique power efficiency, performance, thermal management and
reliability advantages.
Sales of Imager-SOI wafers for
3D imaging applications tapered off in Q4’25 due to the phase out
of this product, as expected.

-9% |
Consolidated revenue reached
891 million Euros in FY'25, down 9% on a reported basis compared to
978 million Euros in FY'24. This reflects a 9% decline at constant
exchange rates and perimeter, in line with Soitec’s latest
guidance, a negative scope4 effect of 1% and a slightly
positive currency impact of 1%.
Overall, the sharp increase in sales of
Photonics-SOI and POI wafers partly offset the drop in revenue
recorded both in RF-SOI and in Power-SOI.
- Mobile
Communications revenue reached 546 million Euros in FY'25,
down 11% on a reported basis and down 12% at constant exchange
rates and perimeter year-on-year. Revenue was impacted by weaker
RF-SOI volumes in connection with further inventory adjustment at
customer level, especially in H1’25. RF-SOI performance was partly
offset by a strong growth in POI wafer sales throughout the fiscal
year and by slightly higher FD-SOI wafer sales. Mobile
communications represented 61% of total revenue, almost stable vs
FY'24.
- Automotive &
Industrial revenue amounted to 129 million Euros in FY'25,
down 21% on a reported basis and down 22% at constant exchange
rates and perimeter compared to FY'24. This revenue decline was
primarily driven by lower Power-SOI volumes, reflecting weakness in
the automotive market. Revenue from SmartSiC™ technology in
connection with the initial phase of Soitec’s cooperation agreement
with STMicroelectronics have also decreased year-on-year. This was
partially offset by higher FD-SOI wafer sales. Automotive &
Industrial represented 15% of total revenue against 17% in
FY'24.
- Edge & Cloud
AI revenue reached 216 million Euros in FY'25, up
6% on a reported basis and up 11% at constant exchange rates
and perimeter compared to FY'24. The organic increase in revenue
was driven by higher sales of Photonics-SOI wafers, which benefit
from sustained investment in Cloud infrastructure. Sales of FD-SOI
went slightly down but remained at a high level, supported by the
need for low-power computing devices and edge-AI applications.
Imager-SOI sales were almost flat year-on-year despite the phase
out of this product from early H2’25 onward. Edge & Cloud AI
represented 24% of total revenue against 21% in FY'24.

Current operating income went
down from 208 million Euros in FY'24 (21.3% of revenue) to
136 million Euros in FY'25 (15.2% of revenue). This reflects
the weaker activity recorded in FY'25, but also higher R&D
investment and higher depreciation expenses, as Soitec continues to
invest to secure its competitiveness.
- Gross profit
reached 286 million Euros, down from 332 million Euros in FY'24.
Gross margin declined by 1.9 points to 32.1% of revenue. This was
essentially due to the lower sales volumes, of RF-SOI in
particular, leading to a lower utilization of some of the
industrial capacities, combined with an overall slightly negative
price / mix effect. In addition, depreciation costs went up,
reflecting the Group’s investment profile. These factors were
mitigated by strong discipline in cost management, including lower
purchase prices, by some agility in resource allocation between
plants, and by higher subsidies.
- Net R&D
expenses increased from 61 million Euros in FY'24 (6.3% of
revenue) to 85 million Euros in FY'25 (9.5% of revenue). Gross
R&D expenses before capitalization went up 11% to 152°million
Euros, as part of Soitec’s innovation strategy aimed at further
investing in the next generation of SOI products, in compound
semiconductors, as well as in new engineered substrates. In
addition, Soitec booked a much lower amount of capitalized
development costs in FY’25 (12 million Euros against 31 million
Euros in FY’24). This was only partly offset by the recognition of
higher R&D subsidies and higher prototype sales.
- Selling, general and
administrative (SG&A) expenses amounted to 65 million
Euros in FY'25 (7.3% of revenue), up from 63 million Euros in
FY'24. This slight increase is essentially due to non-recurring
positive effects on labor costs recorded in FY’24 and higher
depreciation expenses, notably related to recent IT investments in
cybersecurity. On the other hand, lower share-based compensation
and the divestment of Dolphin Design both had positive
effects.
EBITDA1,5 amounted to
298 million Euros in FY'25 compared to 332 million Euros in FY'24.
EBITDA1,5 margin2 remained at a robust level,
reaching 33.5%, only 50 basis points below the level of 34.0%
recorded in FY'24. The combination of a lesser absorption of fixed
costs due to lower volumes and higher level of R&D investments
was offset by higher non-cash items, notably depreciation and
amortization expenses and inventory valuation effects.

Other operating expenses
amounted to 16 million Euros in FY’25, mainly reflecting a
13 million Euros loss on the divestment of Dolphin Design’s
businesses.
Consequently, the operating
income stood at 119 million Euros, down from 205 million
Euros in FY’24.
The net
financial result came as an
expense of 9 million Euros in FY'25 compared to an expense of
5 million Euros in FY'24. Net financial expenses were 2
million Euros higher than in FY’24, reflecting new financing
arrangements, while a net foreign exchange loss of 2 million Euros
was recorded in FY'25 against a gain of 1 million Euros in
FY’24.
The income tax expense amounted
to 19 million Euros in FY'25, down from 23 million Euros in FY'24.
The effective tax rate, however, increased from 11% in FY’24 to 17%
in FY’25, as a result of specific one-off items.
In line with the decline in operating income,
the net profit amounted to 92 million Euros in
FY'25 (10.3% of revenue), down from 178 million Euros in FY’24
(18.2% of revenue).

The Group generated a positive Free Cash
Flow of 26 million Euros in FY'25, which represents a 69
million Euros improvement compared to the 43 million Euros
negative Free Cash Flow recorded in FY'24. Despite a lower
EBITDA1,5, this strong increase essentially comes as a
result of a better change in working capital. It also benefited
from lower tax paid and from reduced capital expenditure.
Change in working capital
remained under control with a cash outflow at 79 million Euros
in FY'25, compared to a cash outflow of 142 million Euros in
FY'24. FY’25 cash outflow is essentially reflecting:
- a
38 million Euros increase in inventories as a couple of
customers requested to put some deliveries on hold while some late
changes in product mix also resulted in an increase in bulk
material inventories,
- a 30 million
Euros increase in trade receivables, explained by a different
customer mix,
- a 15 million
Euros decrease in trade payables.
The net cash used in investing
activities amounted to 176 million Euros in FY'25,
compared to 209 million Euros in FY'24. It takes into account
financial income from cash investment of 19 million Euros (17
million Euros in FY'24). Including new production equipment under
leases (31 million Euros in FY'25 vs. 51 million Euros in
FY’24), total cash out related to capital expenditure amounted to
230 million Euros as expected. It compares with 276 million Euros
spent in FY'24. Capital expenditure was essentially related to
industrial investments, including:
- additional POI
manufacturing tools in Bernin to increase capacity,
- production
capacity for new SOI products (RF-SOI and Photonics-SOI) in
Singapore and 300-mm SOI refresh capacity in Bernin,
- the ongoing
extension of Singapore 300-mm facility (for the part already
started),
- completion of
the 200-mm SmartSiCTM pilot line in Bernin.
Capital expenditure also included IT investments
as well as investments supporting the Group’s innovation strategy
and its environmental policy.
Net cash used in financing
activities amounted to 50 million Euros in FY'25 (33
million Euros in FY’24) essentially reflecting a net decrease in
borrowings and related interest paid.
In total, including a 4 million Euros positive
impact of exchange rate fluctuations (3 million Euros negative
impact in FY'24), the net cash outflow reached 21
million Euros in FY'25 (80 million Euros in FY’24) resulting in a
steady strong cash position of 688 million
Euros on March 31st, 2025.
Strong balance sheet
maintained
Soitec maintained a strong balance sheet as of
March 31st, 2025.
Shareholders’ equity stood at
1.6 billion Euros on March 31st, 2025, up 100 million
Euros from March 31st, 2024.
Financial debt on March
31st, 2025, was slightly up, at 782 million Euros
against 747 million Euros on March 31st, 2024. Taking into account
the 21 million Euros cash outflow recorded in FY'25, the
net debt position6 was
kept at a moderate level, at 94 million Euros on March
31st, 2025, up from 39 million Euros on March
31st, 2024.
FY’26 outlook
Given the current reduced visibility and market
uncertainties, the Group withdraws any guidance, whether related to
all or part of its activities. This includes the projection of a
quite limited growth for FY’26, as well as the medium-term ambition
to reach a revenue target of $2bn with an EBITDA margin of
approximately 40%. Going forward, the Group will only provide
revenue guidance on a quarterly basis.
Q1’26 revenue, impacted by the anticipated
phase-out of Imager-SOI, is expected down around 20% year-on-year
(Imager-SOI Q1’25 revenue: $25m). FY’26 Capex cash-out is expected
around €150m, down from €230m in FY’25.
Operating model at scale
Soitec continues to pursue its long-term growth
strategy, supported by structural trends in its end markets and the
accelerated diversification of its product portfolio.
In this context, Soitec has defined an operating
model at scale, representing the financial profile the Group could
achieve when operating at a higher volume level. This model
reflects the Group’s internal assessment of the efficiencies and
profitability enabled by its current industrial and technological
platform.
Based on its market assessment and competitive
positioning, Soitec continues to grow its manufacturing capacity,
in line with market growth and customer demand. The Group
anticipates investing ~€770m to scale its production capacity to
enable a $2bn revenue run-rate, which should yield significant
operating leverage and cash generation improvement. Given ongoing
reduced visibility and market uncertainties, the Group will not
guide on a specific timing, which will be influenced by external
factors beyond its control.
This operating model and the associated
ambitions and financial information are not guidance and should not
be interpreted as a financial objective or forecast. Actual results
will depend on market dynamics, customer adoption, and
execution.
Key events of Q4 FY’25
Divestment of Dolphin Design’s main
businesses
Dolphin Design’s mixed-signal IP activities have
been acquired on October 31st, 2024, by Jolt Capital, a
private equity firm specializing in European deeptech investments.
Dolphin Design’s ASIC activities were sold to NanoXplore, a major
player in SoC and FPGA semiconductor design, on December
30th, 2024.
Dolphin Design, acquired by Soitec in 2018, has
long been at the forefront of delivering cutting-edge semiconductor
design solutions in mixed-signal IP and ASICs. The sale of Dolphin
Design’s two main business activities will support Soitec’s focus
on strategic development and growth opportunities in its core
advanced semiconductor materials business.
A 13 million Euros loss on the divestment of
Dolphin Design’s businesses was recorded in other operating
expenses in FY’25. There will be no further impact on Soitec
financial statements from FY’26.
Soitec contributes to accelerated
development of integrated optical connectivity solutions for AI
data centers with its silicon photonics SOI technology
On March 19th, 2025, Soitec
welcomed recent industry steps to accelerate development and
commercialization of co-packaged optics (CPO) solutions for data
centers. The rapidly rising data requirements of AI and
high-performance computing (HPC) are driving demand for silicon
photonics-based CPO architectures. For data centers, CPO adoption
enables energy savings of around 30% compared with current optical
transceiver-based solutions. The momentum for widespread CPO
adoption is building up. Following the earlier introduction of
groundbreaking CPO products and demonstrators by Broadcom, Intel,
and Marvell, NVIDIA unveiled its first CPO
products, Spectrum-X and Quantum-X.
Soitec is at the forefront of the transition from electrical to
optical interconnects. CPO components are reliant on specialist
silicon-on-insulator (Photonics-SOI) substrates, in which Soitec is
a leader. The coming shift to CPO-based data center architectures
is a major opportunity for Soitec.
Soitec joins the SEMI Silicon Photonics
industry alliance
Soitec also announced on March 19th,
2025, that it has joined the SEMI Silicon Photonics Industry
Alliance (SEMI SiPhIA), a group of more than 100 semiconductor
industry partners, with TSMC and ASE serving as the alliance's
advocates. The alliance's mission is to drive silicon photonics
innovation and applications, advance industry standards, and foster
knowledge-sharing, resource integration, and technical exchange.
Through its membership, Soitec will contribute to strengthening
supply chain partnerships and fostering international collaboration
on the deployment of key next-generation technologies, including
CPO.
Soitec confirms its excellence in

Consolidated financial statements for
FY’25
As previously reported, Soitec’s refocus on
Electronics operations decided in January 2015 was nearly completed
on March 31st, 2016. Consequently, the
FY’25 residual income and expenses relating to Solar and Other
activities are reported under ‘Net result from discontinued
operations’, below the ‘Operating income’ line, meaning that down
to the line ‘Net result after tax from continuing operations’, the
consolidated income statement fully and exclusively reflects the
Electronics activity as well as the Group’s corporate functions
expenses. This was already the case in FY’24 financial
statements.
