Group performance in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, Group revenue rose by 13 percent to €4,706 million, compared with €4,172 million in the previous quarter. Revenue increased significantly in Automotive (ATV), Green Industrial Power (GIP), and Power & Sensor Systems (PSS). Revenue in Connected Secure Systems (CSS), however, declined.
The gross margin rose to 41.8 percent in the fourth quarter, compared with 40.8 percent in the previous quarter. The adjusted gross margin improved to 45.1 percent, compared with 42.8 percent in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026.
Segment Result increased to €1,119 million in the fourth quarter, compared with €797 million in the previous quarter. Segment Result Margin rose to 23.8 percent, compared with 19.1 percent in the previous quarter.
Non-Segment Result came in at minus €344 million in the fourth quarter, compared with minus €203 million in the previous quarter. Of this total, €155 million was attributable to cost of goods sold, €47 million to research and development expenses, and €92 million to selling, general, and administrative expenses. In addition, net other operating expenses amounted to €50 million.
Operating profit improved to €775 million in the fourth quarter, compared with €594 million in the previous quarter.
Financial result amounted to minus €88 million in the fourth quarter, compared with minus €63 million in the third quarter.
Income taxes amounted to €163 million in the fourth quarter, compared with €112 million in the previous quarter.
Profit from continuing operations amounted to €531 million in the fourth quarter, compared with €423 million in the third quarter. Profit from discontinued operations stood at €1 million, compared with €0 million in the previous quarter. Profit for the period reached €532 million in the fourth quarter, compared with €423 million in the third quarter.
Basic earnings per share from continuing operations increased to €0.41 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations rose to €0.40. Both figures stood at €0.32 in the previous quarter. Adjusted earnings per share (diluted)3 improved to €0.60 in the fourth quarter, compared with €0.44 in the third quarter.
Investments – which Infineon defines as the sum of investments in property, plant and equipment, investments in other intangible assets and capitalized development costs – rose as planned to €931 million in the fourth quarter, compared with €514 million in the previous quarter. Depreciation and amortization amounted to €499 million, compared with €466 million in the previous quarter.
Free Cash Flow improved further to €656 million in the fourth quarter, compared with €599 million in the previous quarter. Cash flow from operating activities from continuing operations rose to €2,171 million, compared with €1,114 million in the third quarter. This was partly offset by the €564 million purchase price payment for the sensor portfolio of ams OSRAM.
Gross cash increased to €2,137 million at the end of the fourth quarter, compared with €1,656 million at the end of the previous quarter. Financial debt stood at €6,850 million at the end of September, compared with €6,841 million on 30 June 2026. Net cash stood at minus €4,713 million, compared with minus €5,185 million at the end of the previous quarter.
Dividend proposal for fiscal year 2026: €0.38 per share
Infineon’s dividend policy aims to let shareholders appropriately participate in the Company’s economic performance and to maintain the dividend at least at a constant level even if earnings stagnate or decline. For fiscal year 2026, Infineon intends to propose an increase in the dividend of €0.03 to €0.38 per share to the Annual General Meeting in February 2027. The proposal reflects the improvement in operating and financial performance compared with the previous year and, at the same time, keeps our financial flexibility for further profitable growth in the years ahead. The number of issued shares remained unchanged at 1,305,921,137 as of 30 September 2026. This included 5,265,744 treasury shares that are not entitled to a dividend. The expected total dividend payment would therefore be approximately €494 million, subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting.
Change in segment structure: adjusted historical figures
On 1 July 2026, Infineon changed its organizational structure and is operating since then in the Automotive (ATV), Edge Systems (ES), and Power Systems (PS) segments. The table in the appendix on page 10 shows adjusted historical financial data for the three segments. These data provide, among other things, a basis for comparison for the statements on segment performance in the outlook for the first quarter and fiscal year 2027.
Outlook for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027
For the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, Infineon expects revenue of approximately €4.6 billion at an assumed EUR/USD exchange rate of 1.15. The forecast of nearly stable revenue compared with the previous quarter represents a significantly better-than-usual seasonality. Revenue is expected to remain stable in the ATV and PS segments, while revenue in ES is expected to decline moderately. Segment Result Margin is expected to be approximately 23 percent.
Outlook for fiscal year 2027
At an assumed EUR/USD exchange rate of 1.15, Infineon expects revenue to grow by more than 20 percent to approximately €20 billion in fiscal year 2027. Revenue in the PS segment is expected to grow significantly faster than Group revenue. Revenue from data center power supplies is expected to reach close to €4 billion in the current fiscal year. Revenue is expected to increase by a mid-teens percentage in ATV and a low-teens percentage in ES. The adjusted gross margin should be in the mid-to-high fourties percentage range, and Segment Result Margin in the mid twenties percentage range.
Investments – which Infineon defines as the sum of investments in property, plant and equipment, investments in other intangible assets and capitalized development costs – of €3.0 billion to €3.5 billion are planned for fiscal year 2027, depending on expected customer demand. The main areas of investment are equipment for the ramp-up of production in the fourth manufacturing building in Dresden (Germany), expansion of silicon carbide capacities in Kulim (Malaysia), and the start of gallium nitride manufacturing on 300-millimeter wafers in Villach (Austria). Infineon also plans to further expand its backend sites in Bangkok (Thailand), and Melaka (Malaysia).
Depreciation and amortization should amount to approximately €2.2 billion in fiscal year 2027. This includes approximately €300 million of depreciation and amortization arising from purchase price allocations. Free Cash Flow adjusted for major investments in frontend buildings is expected to be approximately €2.2 billion. Free Cash Flow should reach approximately €1.8 billion.
Return on capital employed (RoCE) is expected to be in the low-teens percentage range.
The forecast for fiscal year 2027 does not take into account the announced sale of the NOR Flash and F-RAM memory business to Winbond. Subject to the required regulatory approvals, the transaction is expected to close in the second half of calendar year 2027. In case the transaction closes, the expected pre-tax proceeds from the sale would increase Free Cash Flow in fiscal year 2027 by up to €1 billion. The sale is not expected to have a material impact on revenue, Segment Result Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, or RoCE in fiscal year 2027.
3 Adjusted profit (loss) for the period and adjusted earnings per share (diluted) should not be seen as a replacement or as superior performance indicator, but rather as additional information to profit (loss) for the period and earnings per share (diluted) determined in accordance with IFRS.
