Consolidated Half-Year Results
| in €k (IFRS) - unaudited | First half of fiscal year 2023 | First half of fiscal year 2022 |
| From April 1 to September 30, 2022 | From April 1 to September 30, 2021 | |

Revenue for the first half of fiscal year 2022 totalled €7.8M, a significant increase compared with the same period of last fiscal year (from April 1 to September 30, 2021), driven by the growth of the manufacturing activities, which generated revenues of €6.3M, an increase of +25% compared to the same period of last year. Engineering activities, dedicated to the development and the industrialization of future customized MEMS products at Group level, accounted for €1.5M in the first half of fiscal year 2023 (versus €1.3M in the first half of fiscal year 2022).
Consolidated operating income for the first half of fiscal year 2022 amounted to €(1.1)M. This improvement is mainly due to the increase in revenues and improved operational performance balanced by price increases on raw materials and energy.
After recognition of a financial loss of €(2.0)M related to a negative foreign exchange impact on the loan, accounted for in US dollars, granted by Tronic's Microsystems SA to Tronics Mems Inc.. the Group share of consolidated net income amounted to €(2.9)M.
Balance-Sheet Structure
As of September 30, 2022, Tronics' equity amounted to €(7.6)M. Cash amounted to €1.M and gross debt to €24.9M, mainly related to the debt towards TDK Electronics AG.
In the first half of fiscal year 2023, Tronics put in place a cash pooling agreement with TDK Europe SA. The position of the cash pooling at the end of September 2022 is €(3.3)M.
Outlook
In the second half of fiscal year 2023, Tronics expects stable revenues compared to the first half of fiscal year 2023. Tronics will remain focused on the ramp-up of the existing product portfolio and new product launches, which allow for increased sales of innovative MEMS products for high value-added inertial and industrial applications.
