In order to keep pace with our customers’ needs and support their increasing demand, we are confident in our ability to scale up our organization, further investing both in our human capital and in our industrial capacity for which our strong financial position is instrumental. We are very pleased to announce that we decided the extension of our Pasir Ris facility in Singapore that will be dedicated to 300mm SOI wafers,” added Paul Boudre.

Record revenue and strong increase in EBITDA¹ margin²

Consolidated income statement (part 1)

(Euros millions)	FY’22	FY’21	% change
Revenue	863	584	+48%
Gross profit	316	183	+72%
As a % of revenue	36.6%	31.4%
Net research and development expenses	(57)	(44)	+28%
Selling, general and administrative expenses	(64)	(49)	+30%
Current operating income	195	90	+117%
As a % of revenue	22.6%	15.4%
EBITDA1 from continuing operations	309	179	+72%
As a % of revenue	35.8%	30.7%

Consolidated revenue reached the all-time record high level of 863 million Euros in FY’22. Revenue was up 48% compared with 584 million Euros in FY’21. This reflects the combination of a 50% growth at constant exchange rates and a negative currency impact of 2%⁴.

• 150/200-mm wafer sales reached 344 million Euros in FY’22 (40% of total revenue), up 26% at constant exchange rates and up 24% on a reported basis compared to FY’21. This is a combination of i) a strong increase in sales of 150-mm POI (Piezoelectric-on-Insulator) wafers for smartphones RF filters, enabled by the good ramp-up in production following the increase in installed capacity at Bernin III; ii) higher sales of Power-SOI reflecting the recovery of the automotive industry from FY’21; and iii) a slight increase in 200-mm RF-SOI wafer sales dedicated to radiofrequency applications for smartphones.
  
  

• 300-mm wafer sales amounted to 488 million Euros in FY’22 (57% of total revenue), up 79% at constant exchange rates and up 77% on a reported basis compared to FY’21. 300-mm RF-SOI wafer sales recorded a strong increase, supported by the deployment of 5G smartphones requiring more RF-SOI content per smartphone. Increase in sales of FD-SOI wafers was particularly sharp, reflecting a stronger use of FD-SOI technology for applications related to Edge-Computing, Automotive and 5G mmWave modules. Soitec also recorded significantly higher sales of Photonics-SOI for data centers as well as higher sales of Imager-SOI dedicated to 3D sensing applications for smartphones.
  
  

• Total Royalties and other revenue were nearly stable at 30 million Euros (up 2% at constant exchange rates and up 1% on a reported basis).
  
  

Gross profit reached 316 million Euros in FY’22, up 72% from 183 million Euros in FY’21, reflecting a strong 5.2 points increase in gross margin, from 31.4% of revenue in FY’21 to 36.6% of revenue in FY’22, despite an unfavorable currency impact. Soitec benefited from a strong operating leverage due to the robust increase in activity as well as from a very good industrial performance across all its industrial facilities leading to a higher use of its production capacity. Soitec also maintained a strong control over costs despite higher energy costs and benefited from a favorable phasing of its long-term agreements with suppliers regarding bulk material prices.

Current operating income has more than doubled to 195 million Euros in FY’22, up from 90 million Euros in FY’21. This is translating into a strong increase in current operating margin from 15.4% of revenue in FY’21 to 22.6% of revenue in FY’22 despite the intensified efforts in R&D and higher SG&A aimed at supporting the Group’s growth:

• Net R&D expenses increased from 44 million Euros in FY’21 to 57 million Euros in FY’22. Gross R&D expenses increased by 19 million Euros as Soitec continued to invest in its innovation strategy and the expansion of its product portfolio required to support each of its three end markets. The increase in net R&D expenses was however limited to 13 million Euros thanks to higher subsidies and, as a percentage of revenue, they went down from 7.6% in FY’21 to 6.6% in FY’22.
  
  

• Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses went up from 49 million Euros in FY’21 to 64 million Euros in FY’22, essentially reflecting an increase in expenses related to employee compensation schemes due to the higher number of staff as well as profit-sharing and incentive plans. SG&A expenses were however well monitored, as they went down from 8.4% of revenue in FY’21 to 7.4% in FY’22.
  
  

The EBITDA¹ from continuing operations amounted to 309 million Euros in FY’22, up 72% from 179 million Euros in FY’21. Despite unfavorable currency impact and continuous efforts in R&D and SG&A, the EBITDA¹ margin² increased by 5.1 points to 35.8% of revenue in FY’22, compared with 30.7% of revenue in FY’21, benefitting from a strong operating leverage and a very good industrial performance.

Depreciation and amortization expenses went up from 60 million Euros in FY’21 to 81 million Euros in FY’22 as a result of the increased industrial capacity as well as R&D investments carried out by the Group in previous years.

The Group recorded a non-recurring income of 10 million Euros in other operating income and expenses in FY’22. This mainly reflects the full reversal of an impairment loss related to Singapore industrial building which had been recognized in FY’16. This reversal, which amounted to 9 million Euros, was triggered by the good industrial performance of Singapore facility. Consequently, the operating income reached 205 million Euros in FY’22 compared to 90 million Euros in FY’21.

The net financial result was a loss of 1 million Euros in FY’22 compared to a loss of 15 million Euros in FY’21. On the one hand, the Group recorded an increase of 2 million Euros in net financial expenses, which reached 13 million Euros in FY’22. On the other hand, the Group recorded a net foreign exchange gain of 13 million Euros in FY’22 compared to a foreign exchange loss of 4 million Euros recorded in FY’21.

Income tax expense amounted to 2 million Euros in FY’22 compared to 1 million Euros in FY’21. As the Group continues to benefit from tax loss carryforwards, the FY’22 net income tax expense includes a deferred tax income of 12 million Euros following the recognition of deferred tax assets in France and in Singapore.

The net profit, Group share nearly tripled to reach 202 million Euros in FY’22, compared with a net profit of 73 million Euros recorded in FY’21.

Positive Free Cash Flow while capacity investments increased strongly

The cash outflow from working capital amounted to 52 million Euros in FY’22 as a result of the strong increase in activity, as evidenced by i) a 31 million Euros increase in inventories and ii) a 48 million Euros increase in trade receivables, which were partly offset by iii) a 15 million increase in trade payables, iv) a 6 million Euros decrease in other receivables and v) a 6 million increase in other payables. In FY’21, when the activity was flat, the Group had recorded a cash inflow from working capital of 9 million Euros.

Overall, net cash generated by operating activities went up 46%, from 174 million in FY’21 to 255 million Euros in FY’22.

The net cash used in investing activities of continuing operations amounted to 213 million Euros in FY’22, up 61% compared to 133 million Euros in FY’21. Capital expenditure was mainly related to Bernin (103 million Euros spread between capacity investments and 8 million Euros of capitalized R&D) and Singapore (91 million Euros spent in capacity investments, including 300-mm SOI wafer production, refresh and epitaxy). In addition, the acquisition of NovaSiC represented an investment of 6 million Euros (net of cash).

According to IFRS, the cash used in investing activities is calculated net of investments financed through leasing, which accounted for 16 million Euros in FY’22. Total cash out related to investing activities therefore amounted to 229 million Euros.

A positive Free Cash Flow, at 42 million Euros in FY’22, was achieved while continuing to invest in capital expenditure to support the Group’s expansion and managing the working capital needs (in FY’21, Free Cash Flow also stood at 42 million Euros while the activity was flat and the capital expenditure lower).

Net cash generated by financing activities of continuing operations amounted to 37 million Euros in FY’22 essentially reflecting a net increase in borrowings, including i) a 31 million additional drawdown on the 200 million Euros IPCEI long-term loan facility granted by Banque des Territoires (Caisse des Dépôts Group) as part of the “Nano 2022” project and a net amount of 20 million Euros of bank loans contracted to finance new industrial equipment in Singapore. These were partially offset by repayments of leasing contracts over the period. In comparison, in FY’21, net cash generated by financing activities of continuing operations amounted to 412 million Euros including 321 million Euros of net proceeds from the issue of OCEANEs 2025.

In total, including a 6 million Euros positive impact of exchange rate fluctuations, net cash generated by continuing operations reached 85 million Euros in FY’22 compared to 454 million Euros generated in FY’21. Net cash used by discontinued operations amounted to 2 million Euros in FY’22.

Overall, Soitec further increased its cash position, which went up from 644 million Euros on March 31^st, 2021, to 728 million Euros on March 31^st, 2022.

Further enhanced balance sheet

Thanks to the strong performance achieved in FY’22, Soitec has further strengthened its balance sheet.

Property, plant and equipment increased by a net amount of 184 million Euros in FY’22 as a result of capacity investments in Bernin and Singapore.

Shareholders’ equity increased by 367 million Euros in FY’22 to 1,044 million Euros, mainly thanks to the net profit generated during the period and the conversion of the outstanding OCEANEs 2023 convertible bonds.

Financial debt decreased by 63 million Euros to 586 million Euros on March 31^st, 2022. The conversion of 139 million Euros OCEANEs 2023 bonds was partially offset by a €51m net increase in bank loans, a €16m mark-to-market increase of financial derivatives and a €4m net increase in leasing contracts.

Lower financial debt combined with the 83 million Euros increase in cash, led to switch from a 4 million Euros net debt position⁵ on March 31^st, 2021, to a 142 million Euros positive net cash position⁵ on March 31^st, 2022.

FY’23 Outlook

Soitec expects FY’23 revenue growth to reach around 20% at constant exchange rates and perimeter. Growth will continue to be driven by an increase in sales in each one of the Group’s three end-markets, as Soitec expects to continue benefiting from the 5G deployment, from an increase of the automotive market as well as from sustained market trends for smart devices.

Soitec expects FY’23 EBITDA¹ margin² to reach around 36% notably thanks to a strong operating leverage driven by higher volumes. Soitec expects its industrial performance to remain strong despite higher bulk material and energy prices.

In addition, Soitec expects FY’23 net cash out related to capital expenditure to reach around 260 million Euros, essentially reflecting capacity investments to support first acquisitions of SiC tools (150 & 200-mm) in Bernin IV, 300-mm SOI refresh capacity in Bernin IV and further 300-mm SOI capacity increase in Singapore facility, including both refresh and epitaxy capacity.

Key events of FY’22

Early redemption of the bonds convertible into and/or exchangeable for new or existing shares (OCEANEs) due June 28, 2023

On September 16^th, 2021, Soitec announced its decision to redeem all outstanding OCEANEs due June 28^th, 2023, at a price per OCEANE equal to par (i.e. 104.47 Euros). On October 8^th, 2021, all bondholders had opted for the exercise of their conversion/exchange right at the conversion/exchange ratio of 1 Soitec share per OCEANE. Consequently, 1,319,318 new Soitec shares were issued, representing 3.90% of Soitec share capital. On October 18^th, 2021, following the conversion of all OCEANEs 2023, share capital amounted to 70,275,148.00 Euros and comprised 34,896,560 ordinary shares, and 241,014 preferred shares, all with a par value of 2.00 Euros.
