Neubiberg, Germany, 14 November 2017 – Infineon Technologies AG today reported preliminary results for the fourth quarter and the 2017 fiscal year, both ended 30 September 2017.

“Infineon continues to grow. We raised the outlook for the full fiscal year in March 2017 and achieved the higher targets, despite stronger headwinds caused by the weaker US dollar,” stated Dr. Reinhard Ploss, CEO of Infineon. “Our growth is very broadly based. Alongside electro-mobility, driver assistance systems and renewable energy, a further pillar of growth is our industrial business – including drives for increasingly automated production machinery and robotics. Demand is also strong for our highly efficient chips, by example for fast chargers for tablets. With future technologies such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride, we are paving the way for tomorrow's success. Adjusted for exchange rate effects, our growth rate in the 2018 fiscal year could even reach the double-digit mark.”
