Himax Technologies, Inc. Announces Updates on Second Quarter 2022 Financial Guidance

TAINAN, Taiwan, June 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Himax Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HIMX) (“Himax” or “Company”), a leading supplier and fabless manufacturer of display drivers and other semiconductor products, today announced updates on the second quarter 2022 financial guidance for the three months ending June 30, 2022. The revised second quarter revenues and EPS are lower than the forward-looking guidance provided on May 12, 2022. The gross margin guidance remains unchanged.

• Revenues are expected to decrease 22% - 27% sequentially, lower than the previous guidance of 16% - 20% sequential decline.
• Gross margin is expected to be around 43.0% to 45.0%, the same as previous guidance.
• Non-IFRS earnings per diluted ADS are expected to be in the range of 40.0 cents to 45.0 cents, lower than the previous guidance of 45.0 cents to 50.0 cents.
• IFRS earnings per diluted ADS are expected to be in the range of 36.5 cents to 41.5 cents, lower than the previous guidance of 41.5 cents to 46.5 cents.

“The revised Q2 guidance reflects weaker macro environment and slowing end market demands, resulting from recent interest rate hikes and inflationary pressure. In response, panel customers are cutting back production and further tightening inventory levels. We will give detailed updates on the upcoming earnings call,” said Mr. Jordan Wu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Himax. The Company will provide its full financial report with investors and analysts at the next conference call in August. The exact date will be announced soon.
