“Thanks to leadership positions in our target markets, we translated the general economic recovery into operating results for the first quarter which exceeded our original expectations. The Automotive and Industrial & Multimarket segments benefited strongly from the market upswing”, said Peter Bauer, CEO of Infineon Technologies AG. “Although uncertainties in the worldwide economy remain regarding developments in the second half of this fiscal year, we are raising our guidance for the full 2010 fiscal year. We are now looking for revenue growth in excess of 20 percent with a high single-digit combined Segment Result margin.” Previously, the company expected revenue growth of ten percent or more with mid single-digit combined Segment Result margin.
The sequential increase in revenues of ten percent in the first quarter reflects growth in the company’s Automotive (ATV), Industrial & Multimarket (IMM) and Wireless Solutions (WLS) segments, mostly driven by the economic recovery and improved demand in the supply chain as well as at end customers.
First quarter combined Segment Result of Euro 88 million was up significantly compared to Euro 52 million in the fourth quarter of the 2009 fiscal year. Combined Segment Result margin in the first quarter was 9.4 percent, compared to 6.1 percent in the prior quarter. All of the company’s four operating segments achieved positive Segment Result. The increase in combined Segment Result reflected higher sales levels and continued increases in factory loading compared to the prior quarter. This more than offset the increase in operating expenses due to the termination of temporary labor cost reduction measures (short-time work and unpaid leave) and the negative impact of the U.S. dollar against the Euro.
For the first quarter, the loss from continuing operations was Euro 46 million. This amount included a non-recurring operating charge of Euro 81 million in connection with the deconsolidation of ALTIS, the company’s joint venture with IBM in France, as described below. For the fourth quarter of the 2009 fiscal year, income from continuing operations was Euro 24 million.
Infineon reported income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, of Euro 112 million for the first quarter. This amount consisted mainly of an after tax gain of Euro 106 million from the sale of the Wireline Communications (WLC) business to Lantiq, affiliates of Golden Gate Private Equity Inc., as well as the results of the operating WLC business before the closing of the sale of that business.

Net income was Euro 66 million in the first quarter, a strong improvement from the net income of Euro 14 million in the prior quarter. Included in this amount was an after tax gain of Euro 106 million from the sale of the WLC business to Lantiq, which more than offset the non-recurring operating charge of Euro 81 million in connection with the deconsolidation of ALTIS. Basic and diluted earnings per share were Euro 0.06 for the first quarter compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of Euro 0.02 for the fourth quarter of the 2009 fiscal year.
At the end of the first quarter, Infineon’s gross cash position was Euro 1,678 million compared to Euro 1,507 million at the end of the fourth quarter of the 2009 fiscal year. The increase of Euro 171 million included a cash inflow of Euro 223 million in connection with the sale of the WLC business to Lantiq, partly offset by the deconsolidation of the cash of the ALTIS joint venture in the amount of Euro 88 million. During the first quarter, voluntary repurchases of a portion of the company’s subordinated convertible notes due 2010 were made, totaling Euro 46 million at book value, as well as a repayment of other debt, totaling Euro 10 million. Overall, the company’s net cash position increased to Euro 874 million as of December 31, 2009, compared to Euro 657 million as of September 30, 2009.
Free cash flow3 from continuing operations for the first quarter was Euro 14 million. This amount included a reduction in cash of Euro 88 million resulting from the deconsolida-tion of the ALTIS joint venture. In the fourth quarter of the 2009 fiscal year, free cash flow from continuing operations was Euro 151 million. Capital expenditures, including capitalized intangible assets, were Euro 48 million in the first quarter, a slight increase compared to Euro 40 million in the prior quarter. Depreciation and amortization was Euro 106 million, compared to Euro 114 million in the prior quarter.
ALTIS
In December 2009, Infineon deconsolidated its joint venture ALTIS, after the waiving of its option to acquire shares in ALTIS from its joint venture partner IBM. In connection with the deconsolidation, Infineon recorded a non-recurring operating charge of Euro 81 million in its non-segment result. The investment in ALTIS is accounted for as an equity investment from December 31, 2009.

Outlook for the second quarter of the 2010 fiscal year
Flat or slightly lower revenues due to seasonality in WLS
Infineon expects revenues for the second quarter of the 2010 fiscal year to be approxi-mately on the same level or, due to seasonality, down slightly compared to the first quarter, resulting in another quarter with combined Segment Result margin of a high single-digit percentage.
Revenues in the ATV, IMM, and Chip Card & Security (CCS) segments are expected to increase compared to the first quarter. Revenues in the WLS segment are likely to decrease due to the seasonal slow-down which is typical after the Christmas season. This outlook is based on the assumption of a U.S. dollar/Euro exchange rate of 1.50.
Updated outlook for the 2010 fiscal year
Revenue growth now expected to be in excess of 20 percent year-over-year;
Segment Result margin expected to be a positive high single-digit percentage
Given strong first quarter results and second quarter outlook, Infineon is raising its outlook for the 2010 fiscal year.
In light of the strong performance in the first half of the 2010 fiscal year, and taking a conservative view regarding the sustainability of current growth patterns in the second half of the current fiscal year, Infineon now expects growth in revenues in excess of 20 percent for the 2010 fiscal year, at an assumed U.S. dollar/Euro exchange rate of 1.50. The company still anticipates the year-over-year increase to be driven by increases in revenues in all of the company’s operating segments, particularly in the ATV and IMM segments, with lower revenue growth anticipated in the WLS segment, and the lowest growth rate expected in the CCS segment. Revenues in Other Operating Segments, mainly from product supply agreements with Lantiq, are now anticipated to total a low triple-digit million Euro amount.
Infineon expects combined Segment Result in the 2010 fiscal year to improve considerably from the 2009 fiscal year with combined Segment Result margin now anticipated to be a high single-digit percentage.
Driven by the dynamic growth in revenue and production levels, Infineon anticipates that CapEx, including capitalized intangible assets, will be at the higher end of the previous guidance range of Euro 220 million to Euro 250 million for the 2010 fiscal year, compared to Euro 154 million in the 2009 fiscal year. As announced last quarter,

In the first quarter, all of the company’s four operating segments were positively impacted by lower opportunity cost of underutilized manufacturing facilities. In most segments, this positive effect, coupled with revenue increases, more than offset increases in operating expenses due to the termination of temporary labor cost reduction measures and the negative impact of the U.S. dollar against the Euro.
In the first quarter, revenues in the ATV segment increased 17 percent compared to the fourth quarter of the 2009 fiscal year, driven by growing demand in all regions and inventory replenishment in the supply chain. ATV Segment Result increased significantly on a sequential basis due to the strong growth in revenues and the positive effects of increased production levels, balancing the adverse effects of the termination of temporary labor cost reduction measures.
Revenues in the IMM segment increased six percent sequentially, reflecting strong end customer demand for computing, communications and industrial products. IMM Segment Result increased significantly compared to the previous quarter, driven by the

increase in sales volumes, the positive effects of increased factory loading and an improvement in the segment’s product mix. In addition, first quarter IMM revenues and Segment Result benefited from the settlement of patent infringement litigation with Fairchild Semiconductor International Inc. relating to power transistors. In total, the positive effects more than offset the adverse effects mentioned on page 5.
Revenues in the CCS segment decreased compared to the prior quarter, mainly reflecting the typical seasonal slow-down in the segment’s mobile communications and payment businesses. Business with government ID applications increased slightly. CCS Segment Result in the first quarter was stable compared to the prior quarter due to a shift in the segment’s product mix towards higher margin businesses. This more than offset the decrease in revenues, the adverse currency development and the termination of temporary labor cost reduction measures.
In the first quarter, revenues in the WLS segment increased slightly quarter-over-quarter, mainly due to strong demand of some major mobile phone customers, especially for smart phone solutions. WLS Segment Result was almost stable compared to the prior quarter. The higher revenues could not entirely compensate for the negative effects of the termination of temporary labor cost reduction measures and the impact of the weak U.S. dollar.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
Gross and Net Cash/(Debt) Position*
Infineon defines gross cash position as cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale financial assets, and net cash/(debt) position as gross cash position less short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt, and long-term debt. Since Infineon holds a portion of its available monetary resources in the form of readily available-for-sale financial assets, which for IFRS purposes are not considered to be “cash”, it reports its gross and net cash/(debt) positions to provide investors with an understanding of the Company’s overall liquidity. The gross and net cash/(debt) position is determined as follows from the condensed consolidated balance sheets, without adjustment to the IFRS amounts presented:
 
*   Includes only amounts from continuing operations.

Free Cash Flow*
Infineon defines free cash flow as net cash from operating and investing activities excluding purchases or sales of available-for-sale financial assets. Since Infineon holds a portion of its available monetary resources in the form of available-for-sale financial assets, 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 consolidated cash flow statements:
 
* Includes only amounts from continuing operations.
