Neubiberg, Germany, 9 November 2020 – Today, Infineon Technologies AG is reporting results for the fourth quarter and for the full 2020 fiscal year, both ended on 30 September 2020.

“Infineon has successfully completed an exceptional and difficult fiscal year with a very respectable fourth quarter. We have proven that our company has a robust business model and continues to develop steadily, even in uncertain times,” said Dr. Reinhard Ploss, CEO of Infineon. “Some of our target markets, especially the automotive sector, have recovered better than expected since the summer. In addition, the structural transformation towards electro mobility is accelerating, particularly in Europe. Other markets are showing weakness, like traction or government identification, or are still a long way from recovery, such as factory automation. All in all, we are cautiously optimistic for the fiscal year that has just begun. However, the coronavirus pandemic, the geopolitical situation and prevailing macroeconomic conditions all remain challenging. The combination of a strengthened team and a broader technology and product portfolio – especially through connectivity for the IoT and other digital applications – enables us to address an even greater number of markets. We are in an excellent position to master future challenges.”
