Elmos Semiconductor SE Initiates Share Buyback Program Following Strong 2025 Results

The share buyback program announced by Elmos Semiconductor SE on February 4, 2026 will start as scheduled on February 24, 2026, following the publication of the preliminary 2025 financial results. In early February, the Management Board and Supervisory Board resolved, as part of the further development of the company’s distribution policy, to initiate a share buyback program with a total volume of up to 10.0 million Euro (excluding transaction costs). The buyback will be executed via the stock exchange in the period from February 24, 2026 to March 31, 2026.

The objective of the program is, within the framework of an attractive capital allocation strategy and in combination with the proposed 50% dividend increase for fiscal year 2025, to return a substantial portion of the net cash position to shareholders. With the share buyback and the dividend increase, Elmos underlines its commitment to ensuring that shareholders participate appropriately and consistently in the company’s success. This dual approach to capital return signals strong financial health and management's confidence in the company's future prospects.

The timing of this announcement, coming immediately after the release of preliminary 2025 results, suggests that Elmos has generated significant cash flow and maintains a robust balance sheet. Share buyback programs typically indicate that management believes the company's stock is undervalued, and repurchasing shares can increase earnings per share and return on equity for remaining shareholders. The combination with a substantial dividend increase creates a comprehensive shareholder return strategy that appeals to both income-focused and growth-oriented investors.

For the automotive semiconductor industry, where Elmos has been developing intelligent microchip solutions for over 40 years, this move demonstrates resilience and strategic capital management amid industry challenges. The company's focus on analog mixed-signal ICs positions it well for emerging automotive technologies, and this capital return program suggests management is confident in the company's ability to fund future growth while rewarding current shareholders. The program's execution via the stock exchange provides transparency and market-based pricing for the repurchases.

This release contains forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions and estimates made by the Elmos management. Even though we assume the underlying expectations of the forward-looking statements to be realistic, we cannot guarantee the expectations will prove right. The assumptions may carry risks and uncertainties, and as a result actual events may differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could cause such differences are changes in general economic and business conditions, fluctuations of exchange rates and interest rates, the introduction of competing products, lack of acceptance of new products, and changes in business strategy.
