EBIT for the second quarter included charges of Euro 54 million, partially offset by gains totaling Euro 25 million.
OUTLOOK FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER OF THE 2007 FISCAL YEAR
  Infineon expects further revenue growth in the fourth quarter of the 2007 fiscal year for its businesses excluding Qimonda, driven mainly by a further increase in mobile phone platform shipments. The company also anticipates that EBIT for its businesses excluding Qimonda will increase from the third quarter. Net charges are expected to be insignificant.
  Infineon expects the Communication Solutions segment to show another quarter of strong revenue growth and significant EBIT improvement, driven mainly by the wireless business. The latter should achieve break-even EBIT in the last quarter of the 2007 calendar year.
  The company expects revenues in the Automotive, Industrial & Multimarket segment to increase compared to the third quarter, and an EBIT margin close to ten percent.

()

     
Neubiberg, Germany – July 27, 2007 – Infineon Technologies AG (FSE/NYSE:IFX) today reported results for the third quarter of the 2007 fiscal year. The Infineon group reported revenues of Euro 1.75 billion, net loss of Euro 197 million, EBIT of negative Euro 280 million, and basic and diluted loss per share of Euro 0.26.
Main highlights for Infineon excluding Qimonda
  Revenues for Infineon excluding Qimonda were Euro 1.01 billion, up three percent sequentially, mostly due to increased revenues in Communication Solutions.
  EBIT for Infineon excluding Qimonda was positive in the third quarter: Euro 13 million compared to negative Euro 28 million in the prior quarter. EBIT in the third quarter included charges of Euro 20 million for restructuring measures, largely offset by a gain of Euro 17 million related to the sale of the company’s Polymer Optical Fiber (POF) business. EBIT in the second quarter included net charges of Euro 29 million.
  Revenues of the Automotive, Industrial & Multimarket segment were Euro 752 million, reflecting another increase quarter on quarter. Segment EBIT increased to Euro 81 million from Euro 66 million in the prior quarter. Included was a gain related to the sale of the company’s POF business.
  The Communication Solutions segment increased mobile phone platform shipments significantly, driving revenues up nine percent sequentially to Euro 259 million. Segment EBIT improved to negative Euro 34 million from negative Euro 53 million in the prior quarter.
Outlook for Infineon excluding Qimonda for the fourth quarter
For the fourth quarter of the 2007 fiscal year, Infineon expects revenues for its segments excluding Qimonda to increase further, driven mainly by the Communication Solutions segment and to a lesser extent by the Automotive, Industrial & Multimarket segment. The company expects further strong growth in EBIT with improving EBIT margin. Net charges are expected to be insignificant in the fourth quarter.
Additional details concerning the outlook can be found in the segments’ sections below. “With positive EBIT and an improved EBIT margin in the third quarter, Infineon excluding Qimonda made further progress towards sustainable profitability. The recently announced acquisition in the area of DSL Customer Premises Equipment marks the first selective strengthening of our core businesses since the carve-out of Qimonda”, said Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart, President and CEO of Infineon Technologies AG. “Going forward, we aim for further improvements in our EBIT margin and we will continue to strengthen our core businesses.”

In the third quarter of the 2007 fiscal year, the Automotive, Industrial & Multimarket segment reported revenues of Euro 752 million, representing a two percent increase over the prior quarter.

As anticipated, revenues and EBIT in the automotive business increased, mostly due to seasonality. The industrial & multimarket business remained broadly flat compared with the second quarter as continued demand in high-power products offset some softness in the low-power business. Results of Infineon’s security & ASIC business were in line with the prior quarter, as strength in the chip card and security business was offset by continued softness in the hard-disk-drive business.
Automotive, Industrial & Multimarket’s outlook for the fourth quarter of the 2007 fiscal year

In the fourth quarter of the 2007 fiscal year, Infineon expects the revenues of its Automotive, Industrial & Multimarket segment to increase compared to the third quarter. The company expects improved EBIT performance in the segment’s ongoing operations, excluding the effect of the gain in the third quarter from the sale of the POF business. The EBIT margin is expected to be close to ten percent. Results in the segment’s automotive business are expected to remain broadly on the same level as in the third quarter. The industrial & multimarket business is expected to post higher revenues and EBIT, mainly due to improved demand in the consumer and computer markets. The security & ASIC business is expected to be negatively impacted by continued weak demand for hard-disk-drives, despite further good business development in the chip card and security business.
Communication Solutions (COM)

In the third quarter of the 2007 fiscal year, revenues in the Communication Solutions segment were Euro 259 million, a nine percent increase compared to the prior quarter. EBIT improved in line with the revenue increase to negative Euro 34 million, compared to negative Euro 53 in the second quarter.
In the wireless business, mobile phone platform shipments increased strongly, as expected, driven both by continued ramp-ups to existing customers and the start of ramp-ups at new customers. Revenues in the broadband business decreased

compared to the prior quarter, mainly due to a temporary slowdown in some infrastructure deployments, as well as customer-related inventory issues in broadband CPE following strong demand in previous quarters.
Communication Solutions’ outlook for the fourth quarter of the 2007 fiscal year

In the fourth quarter of the 2007 fiscal year, Infineon expects revenues of the Communication Solutions segment to increase strongly compared to the third quarter, mainly driven by continued increases in mobile phone platform shipments due to scheduled production ramp-ups. In the broadband access business, revenues are anticipated to remain stable. The Communication Solutions segment’s EBIT is also anticipated to improve considerably, driven by the revenue increase. The company continues to target break-even EBIT for its wireless business for the fourth quarter of the 2007 calendar year.

*) EBIT reported net of minority interests.



In the third quarter of the 2007 fiscal year, Qimonda reported revenues of Euro 740 million, a decline of 25 percent from Euro 984 million quarter over quarter. EBIT was negative Euro 293 million compared to Euro 77 million in the prior quarter. Minority interests, calculated from Qimonda’s third quarter net loss, were negative Euro 31 million. Infineon’s ownership in Qimonda as of June 30, 2007 was 85.9 percent.
Qimonda’s outlook for the fourth quarter of the 2007 fiscal year

Qimonda expects its bit production to grow by 15 to 20 percent in the fourth quarter of the 2007 fiscal year, mainly based on increased in-house and partner capacities and continued productivity improvements from the ongoing conversion to 80-nanometer and 75-nanometer technologies. Qimonda targets a share of bit-shipments to non-PC applications of around 50 percent for the fourth quarter, and expects the trend of strong demand for PC-related products in particular to continue.

Third quarter EBIT in Corporate and Eliminations included charges of Euro 20 million for restructuring measures in manufacturing facilities and further streamlining of the company’s research & development locations. EBIT of Corporate and Eliminations in the second quarter included charges of Euro 54 million. These primarily consisted of restructuring charges of approximately Euro 20 million for planned downsizings, mainly in the Essonnes, France (ALTIS) manufacturing facility and in the company’s baseband business after the insolvency of BenQ, as well as an asset write-down of Euro 35 million. Also included in EBIT for the second quarter was a positive effect of Euro 22 million from a revision to accrued personnel costs.
Other Operating Segments / Corporate and Eliminations’ outlook for the fourth quarter of the 2007 fiscal year
In the fourth quarter, Infineon expects revenues and EBIT in Other Operating Segments and Corporate and Eliminations to remain broadly unchanged prior to inclusion of net charges. Net charges are expected to be insignificant in the fourth quarter.
Group Tax Position
With the Corporate Tax Reform Act 2008 likely to be enacted in Germany in the fourth quarter of the 2007 fiscal year, Infineon will have to revalue the deferred tax positions on its balance sheet relating to its German operations. The resulting devaluation of deferred tax assets would lead to an income tax charge in the fourth quarter.
Additional major business highlights of Infineon’s segments in the third quarter of the 2007 fiscal year can be found in this document after the financial tables.
All figures are preliminary and unaudited.

EBIT
Infineon defines EBIT as earnings (loss) before interest and taxes. Infineon’s management uses EBIT among other measures to establish budgets and operational goals, to manage the Company’s business and to evaluate its performance. Infineon reports EBIT information because it believes that it provides investors with meaningful information about the operating performance of the Company and especially about the performance of its separate operating segments.
EBIT is determined as follows from the condensed consolidated statements of operations, without adjustment to the US GAAP amounts presented:

Gross and Net Cash Position
Infineon defines gross cash position as cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, and net cash position as gross cash position less short and long-term debt. Since Infineon holds a substantial portion of its available monetary resources in the form of readily marketable securities, which for US GAAP purposes are not considered to be “cash”, it reports its gross and net cash positions to provide investors with an understanding of the Company’s overall liquidity. The gross and net cash position is determined as follows from the condensed consolidated balance sheets, without adjustment to the US GAAP amounts presented:

Free Cash Flow
Infineon defines free cash flow as cash from operating and investing activities excluding purchases or sales of marketable securities. Since Infineon holds a substantial portion of its available monetary resources in the form of readily marketable securities, and operates in a capital intensive industry, it reports free cash flow to provide investors with a measure that can be used to evaluate changes in liquidity after taking capital expenditures into account. Free cash flow is not intended to represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, since debt service requirements or other non-discretionary expenditures are not deducted. The free cash flow is determined as follows from the condensed consolidated cash flow statements, without adjustment to the US GAAP amounts presented:

Infineon business highlights for the third quarter of the 2007 fiscal year
()

     
  To secure future technology leadership, Infineon and its joint-development alliance partners IBM and Freescale Semiconductor, along with its Common Platform technology partners Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing and Samsung Electronics, signed agreements to jointly develop and manufacture high-performance, energy-efficient chips at 32-nanometers. The alliance partners (other than Freescale) already successfully work together on the development and manufacturing of 65-nanometer and 45-nanometer technologies.
  AIM: Robert Bosch GmbH and Toyota’s Hirose plant presented Infineon with awards as the Best Supplier of the Year for 2006. The main reasons for Bosch awarding the prize to Infineon are the company’s logistics performance, customer orientation and product quality. Toyota’s Hirose plant awarded the prize to Infineon mainly for the company’s product quality excellence.
Energy Efficiency
  Infineon unveiled details of a new transistor architecture, known as a multi-gate field-effect transistor that eliminates many of the barriers to the production of smaller, more powerful electronic devices and circuits. Compared to today’s 65-nanometer transistors, an integrated multi-gate transistor offers a greater than ten times reduction in off current and a 50 percent reduction in transistor switching power.
  AIM: In the third quarter, a number of system suppliers and car manufacturers selected Infineon’s BTS 55 family of high-side smart power switches, as car manufacturers continue to move away from bulbs and towards LEDs, which are smaller, lighter and easier to integrate into the vehicle. The BTS 55 family controls both standard bulbs and LEDs in interior and exterior automotive lighting systems. The automotive LED market is expected to grow by 70 percent over the next five years.
  AIM: In May, Infineon introduced its intelligent CiPoS (Control Integrated Power System) power modules, which enable the manufacturers of consumer appliances such as washing machines and air conditioners to develop increasingly energy-efficient appliances. Using CiPoS makes the motor drive more compact and saves energy: Compared to regular air conditioners, for example, the power consumption of inverter-driven air cons is about 30 percent lower.
  AIM: In April 2007, a French TGV next-generation train achieved a velocity world record of 574.8 kilometer per hour, using more than 300 of Infineon’s IGBT power modules. These modules can feed braking energy back into the system, thus achieving a high degree of energy efficiency.

Communications
  COM: The continued expansion of the mobile phone platform customer base drove strong growth of the company’s wireless business during the third quarter. The company achieved a significant increase in mobile phone platform shipments across all standards (GSM/EDGE/ UMTS), mostly due to production ramp-ups for several major customers.
  COM: Infineon further expanded its customer base in the wireless business:
    Infineon’s RF transceiver SMARTi 3G was selected by Ericsson Mobile Platforms (EMP) for their U310 and U360 EDGE/HSDPA platforms and will be supplied to EMP’s licensees, scheduled to ramp in the second half of the 2007 calendar year.
 
    Seiko Instruments, a Japanese vendor of RF data communication cards, chose Infineon’s SMARTi 3G for its UMTS/HSDPA data card applications such as laptops and PDAs.
 
    ZTE, a leading China-based telecommunication equipment manufacturer, selected Infineon’s ULC2 single-chip solution for ultra-low cost mobile phones. A leading mobile carrier has already deployed two ZTE phone models using Infineon’s ULC2 solution.
  COM: Further strengthening the company’s position in the DSL Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) market, Infineon announced the acquisition of the DSL CPE business of Texas Instruments. With this acquisition, Infineon will be able to combine its innovative broadband CPE roadmap with Texas Instruments’ large DSL CPE deployment base at major carriers worldwide.
Security
  AIM: Infineon continued to serve new application segments with its RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chips for object identification: Gambling chips in the gambling casino in Macau, China, will soon be equipped with an Infineon RFID chip. Co-developed with Magellan Technology, the RFID chips are designed for applications that either require the reliable identification of up to 500 tightly packed or stacked objects in less than one second or where individual objects identified by RFID labels travel past a reader at high speed. Apart from the casino in Macao, Infineon’s RFID chips are also used in gambling casinos in Melbourne, Australia, and Las Vegas, USA.
