SOITEC REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER REVENUE AND
FULL-YEAR RESULTS OF FISCAL YEAR 2025
- Q4'25 revenue reached €327m, stable at constant exchange rates and perimeter compared to Q4'24
- FY'25 revenue amounted to €891m, down 9% both on a reported basis and at constant exchange rates and perimeter, in line with revised guidance
- Soitec accelerated diversification confirmed with POI becoming Soitec's fourth product to generate annual revenue of around $100m or more
- Robust FY'25 EBITDA1 margin2 at 33.5%, current EBIT margin at 15.2%
- Positive FY'25 Free Cash Flow, at €26m, while maintaining strong R&D and industrial investments
- Q1'26 revenue, impacted by the anticipated phase-out of Imager-SOI, is expected down around 20% year-on-year at constant exchange rates and perimeter (Imager-SOI Q1'25 revenue: $25m)
- FY'26 Capex cash-out expected around €150m, down from €230m in FY'25
- Strong technology megatrends and Soitec's innovative engineered substrates continue to sustain Soitec addressable market growth from ~5m wafers (200mm equivalent) in 2024 to ~12m in 2030
- Given the current reduced visibility and market uncertainties, the Group withdraws any guidance, whether related to all or part of its activities. This includes the projection of a quite limited growth for FY'26, as well as the medium-term ambition to reach a revenue target of $2bn with an EBITDA margin of approximately 40%. Going forward, the Group will only provide revenue guidance on a quarterly basis
Bernin (Grenoble), France, May 27th, 2025 - Soitec (Euronext Paris), a world leader in designing and manufacturing innovative semiconductor materials, today announced its revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 and its full-year results of fiscal year 2025 (ended on March 31st, 2025). The financial statements3 were approved by the Board of Directors during its meeting today.
Pierre Barnabé, Soitec's CEO, commented: "On the back of strong sales in the fourth quarter, we closed fiscal year 2025 in line with our revised guidance, with a high-single digit decline in full-year revenue. In this context, strict cost management enabled us to deliver a robust EBITDA margin, generate positive free cash flow, and continue investing both in innovation and in our industrial capacity - all while maintaining a very healthy balance sheet.
In a volatile and uncertain economic environment, we are focusing on parameters within our control to strengthen our fundamentals and accelerate our diversification beyond RF-SOI and beyond Mobile Communications. With the growing adoption of our new products by industry leaders - POI becoming an industry standard for innovative smartphones and Photonics-SOI gaining traction among industry leaders to equip the next generation of AI Datacenters - we have been able to partially offset the ongoing RF-SOI inventory correction and mitigate the impact of the weakness in the automotive industry. While RF-SOI remains by far the first contributor to our revenue, three other products - FD-SOI, Power-SOI and POI - are now each generating around or above 100 million US dollars in revenue.
This environment however provides limited visibility. We have therefore decided to suspend all previously issued guidance and to only provide revenue guidance on a quarterly basis. We expect Q1'26 to reflect the impact of the Imager-SOI phase out, which we had already anticipated and prepared for. Q1'26 revenue is hence expected to be down around 20% year on year, Imager-SOI contributing 25 million dollars in Q1'25.
We remain confident in our solid fundamentals and in our ability to accelerate growth as soon as our end markets begin to recover. Our strong technology megatrends - 5G, Energy Efficiency and Artificial Intelligence - and our unique expertise in engineered substrates continue to support the expansion of our Addressable Market from around 5 million wafers (200-mm equivalent) in 2024 to around 12 million in 2030", added Pierre Barnabé.
Fourth quarter FY'25 consolidated revenue
| Q4'25 | Q4'24 | Q4'25/Q4'24 | ||
| (Euros millions) | change reported | chg. at const. exch. rates & perimeter | ||
| Mobile Communications | 220 | 222 | -1% | -2% |
| Automotive & Industrial | 45 | 44 | +1% | 0% |
| Edge & Cloud AI | 63 | 70 | -11% | +2% |
| Revenue | 327 | 337 | -3% | -1% |
Soitec revenue reached 327 million Euros in Q4'25, down 3% on a reported basis compared with revenue of 337 million Euros achieved in Q4'24. This reflects a 1% year-on-year decline at constant exchange rates and perimeter, a negative scope4 effect of 3% related to the divestment of Dolphin Design's businesses, and a positive currency impact of 1%.
Each one of Soitec's three divisions recorded an almost stable organic change in revenue in Q4'25 compared to the high base achieved in Q4'24. The slight organic decline in Mobile Communications revenue was partly offset by a small increase in Edge & Cloud AI revenue, while Automotive & Industrial was stable. This is however reflecting different dynamics per product, with further strong traction in POI wafers for smartphone filters and in Photonics-SOI wafers for data centers.
Mobile Communications
In the context of a moderately recovering smartphone market and with a progressively improving inventory situation across the supply chain, Mobile Communications revenue reached 220 million Euros in Q4'25, down 2% at constant exchange rates and perimeter year-on-year.
On RF-SOI wafers, Soitec benefited, as expected, from a usually strong seasonal stock rebuilding at the beginning of the calendar year. Volumes of RF-SOI wafers sold were higher in Q4'25 than in Q4'24, with a slightly negative price / mix effect, thus partly mitigating a significant decrease in 200-mm RF-SOI volumes.
Sales of POI (Piezoelectric-on-Insulator) wafers dedicated to RF filters continued to grow sequentially from one quarter to another, translating into a sharp year-on-year increase in Q4'25. The adoption of Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filters on POI continued to accelerate. Ten customers are in volume production, and thirteen others in qualification phase.
Sales of FD-SOI wafers, the only solution for fully integrated 5G mmWave system-on-chip, have been slightly growing in Q4'25 compared to Q4'24.
Automotive & Industrial
Automotive & Industrial revenue reached 45 million Euros in Q4'25, flat at constant exchange rates and perimeter compared to Q4'24, despite the ongoing difficulties of the automotive market.
After the particularly low level reached in Q3'25, volumes of Power-SOI wafers were significantly higher in Q4'25 than in Q4'24, although with a slightly negative price effect. Sales benefited from customer restocking at the beginning of their calendar year. Despite very low visibility, OEMs were keen to avoid stockouts in the event of a market rebound, but this most likely came at the expense of volumes in H1'26. As the Automotive market recovers, the outlook for Battery Management Systems remains strong and supports Soitec's product roadmap towards 300-mm, further strengthening its positioning.
Conversely, after a very strong performance in Q3'25, FD-SOI wafer sales recorded a slight year-on-year decline in Q4'25 compared to Q4'24. Automotive FD-SOI continues to be mostly driven by adoption for microcontrollers, radar and wireless connectivity, delivering superior performance and greater power efficiency compared to other existing technologies.
Regarding SmartSiCTM, while Soitec initiated a sixth customer qualification process early Q4'25, the slower-than-expected growth of the electric vehicle market, combined with the longer than initially anticipated customers' qualification cycles confirm the previously mentioned delay in the initially expected wafer production ramp-up.
Edge & Cloud AI
Edge & Cloud AI revenue reached 63 million Euros in Q4'25, up 2% at constant exchange rates and perimeter compared to Q4'24. On a reported basis revenue went down 11% as a result of the divestment of Dolphin Design's businesses.
Sales of Photonics-SOI wafers recorded another high sequential increase in Q4'25, as Soitec continues to benefit from a strong momentum in Cloud infrastructure investments across the Big Tech and Artificial Intelligence supply chains. On a year-on-year basis, sales were much higher than in Q4'24. As the exponential growth of AI-related computing power capabilities drives the need for more powerful and more energy-efficient data centers, Photonics-SOI has become a standard technology platform for high-speed and high bandwidth optical interconnections in data centers. Photonics-SOI are adopted in pluggable optical transceivers and used for the development of Co-Packaged Optics.
In Q4'25 sales of FD-SOI wafers were above the level reached in Q3'25 but slightly down year-on-year compared to the high level recorded in Q4'24. This is mainly the consequence of deliveries requests put on hold by a couple of customers. FD-SOI technology is a key enabler for AI-driven consumer and industrial IoT applications due to its unique power efficiency, performance, thermal management and reliability advantages.
Sales of Imager-SOI wafers for 3D imaging applications tapered off in Q4'25 due to the phase out of this product, as expected.
FY'25 consolidated revenue
| FY'25 | FY'24 | FY'25/FY'24 | ||
| (Euros millions) | change reported | chg. at const. exch. rates & perimeter | ||
| Mobile Communications | 546 | 611 | -11% | -12% |
| Automotive & Industrial | 129 | 163 | -21% | -22% |
| Edge & Cloud AI | 216 | 204 | +6% | +11% |
| Revenue | 891 | 978 | -9% | -9% |
Consolidated revenue reached 891 million Euros in FY'25, down 9% on a reported basis compared to 978 million Euros in FY'24. This reflects a 9% decline at constant exchange rates and perimeter, in line with Soitec's latest guidance, a negative scope4 effect of 1% and a slightly positive currency impact of 1%.
Overall, the sharp increase in sales of Photonics-SOI and POI wafers partly offset the drop in revenue recorded both in RF-SOI and in Power-SOI.
- Mobile Communications revenue reached 546 million Euros in FY'25, down 11% on a reported basis and down 12% at constant exchange rates and perimeter year-on-year. Revenue was impacted by weaker RF-SOI volumes in connection with further inventory adjustment at customer level, especially in H1'25. RF-SOI performance was partly offset by a strong growth in POI wafer sales throughout the fiscal year and by slightly higher FD-SOI wafer sales. Mobile communications represented 61% of total revenue, almost stable vs FY'24.
- Automotive & Industrial revenue amounted to 129 million Euros in FY'25, down 21% on a reported basis and down 22% at constant exchange rates and perimeter compared to FY'24. This revenue decline was primarily driven by lower Power-SOI volumes, reflecting weakness in the automotive market. Revenue from SmartSiC technology in connection with the initial phase of Soitec's cooperation agreement with STMicroelectronics have also decreased year-on-year. This was partially offset by higher FD-SOI wafer sales. Automotive & Industrial represented 15% of total revenue against 17% in FY'24.
- Edge & Cloud AI revenue reached 216 million Euros in FY'25, up 6% on a reported basis and up 11% at constant exchange rates and perimeter compared to FY'24. The organic increase in revenue was driven by higher sales of Photonics-SOI wafers, which benefit from sustained investment in Cloud infrastructure. Sales of FD-SOI went slightly down but remained at a high level, supported by the need for low-power computing devices and edge-AI applications. Imager-SOI sales were almost flat year-on-year despite the phase out of this product from early H2'25 onward. Edge & Cloud AI represented 24% of total revenue against 21% in FY'24.
EBITDA1 margin2 maintained at a robust level
Consolidated income statement (part 1)
| (Euros millions) | FY'25 | FY'24 | % change |
| Revenue | 891 | 978 | -9% |
| Gross profit | 286 | 332 | -14% |
| As a % of revenue | 32.1% | 34.0% | |
| Net research and development expenses | (85) | (61) | +39% |
| Selling, general and administrative expenses | (65) | (63) | +4% |
| Current operating income | 136 | 208 | -35% |
| As a % of revenue | 15.2% | 21.3% | |
| EBITDA1,5 | 298 | 332 | -10% |
| As a % of revenue | 33.5% | 34.0% |
Current operating income went down from 208 million Euros in FY'24 (21.3% of revenue) to 136 million Euros in FY'25 (15.2% of revenue). This reflects the weaker activity recorded in FY'25, but also higher R&D investment and higher depreciation expenses, as Soitec continues to invest to secure its competitiveness.
- Gross profit reached 286 million Euros, down from 332 million Euros in FY'24. Gross margin declined by 1.9 points to 32.1% of revenue. This was essentially due to the lower sales volumes, of RF-SOI in particular, leading to a lower utilization of some of the industrial capacities, combined with an overall slightly negative price / mix effect. In addition, depreciation costs went up, reflecting the Group's investment profile. These factors were mitigated by strong discipline in cost management, including lower purchase prices, by some agility in resource allocation between plants, and by higher subsidies.
- Net R&D expenses increased from 61 million Euros in FY'24 (6.3% of revenue) to 85 million Euros in FY'25 (9.5% of revenue). Gross R&D expenses before capitalization went up 11% to 152°million Euros, as part of Soitec's innovation strategy aimed at further investing in the next generation of SOI products, in compound semiconductors, as well as in new engineered substrates. In addition, Soitec booked a much lower amount of capitalized development costs in FY'25 (12 million Euros against 31 million Euros in FY'24). This was only partly offset by the recognition of higher R&D subsidies and higher prototype sales.
- Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses amounted to 65 million Euros in FY'25 (7.3% of revenue), up from 63 million Euros in FY'24. This slight increase is essentially due to non-recurring positive effects on labor costs recorded in FY'24 and higher depreciation expenses, notably related to recent IT investments in cybersecurity. On the other hand, lower share-based compensation and the divestment of Dolphin Design both had positive effects.
EBITDA1,5 amounted to 298 million Euros in FY'25 compared to 332 million Euros in FY'24. EBITDA1,5 margin2 remained at a robust level, reaching 33.5%, only 50 basis points below the level of 34.0% recorded in FY'24. The combination of a lesser absorption of fixed costs due to lower volumes and higher level of R&D investments was offset by higher non-cash items, notably depreciation and amortization expenses and inventory valuation effects.
Consolidated income statement (part 2)
| (Euros millions) | FY'25 | FY'24 | % change |
| Current operating income | 136 | 208 | -35% |
| Other operating income / (expenses) | (16) | (3) | |
| Operating income | 119 | 205 | -42% |
| Net financial expense | (9) | (5) | |
| Income tax | (19) | (23) | |
| Net profit from continuing operations | 91 | 178 | -49% |
| Net profit from discontinued operations | 1 | 0 | |
| Net profit, Group share | 92 | 178 | -48% |
| Basic earnings per share (in €) | 2.57 | 5.00 | -49% |
| Diluted earnings per share (in €) | 2.56 | 4.88 | -48% |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares | 35,670,651 | 35,655,679 | |
| Weighted average number of diluted ordinary shares | 35,868,688 | 37,710,587 |
Other operating expenses amounted to 16 million Euros in FY'25, mainly reflecting a 13 million Euros loss on the divestment of Dolphin Design's businesses.
Consequently, the operating income stood at 119 million Euros, down from 205 million Euros in FY'24.
The net financial result came as an expense of 9 million Euros in FY'25 compared to an expense of 5 million Euros in FY'24. Net financial expenses were 2 million Euros higher than in FY'24, reflecting new financing arrangements, while a net foreign exchange loss of 2 million Euros was recorded in FY'25 against a gain of 1 million Euros in FY'24.
The income tax expense amounted to 19 million Euros in FY'25, down from 23 million Euros in FY'24. The effective tax rate, however, increased from 11% in FY'24 to 17% in FY'25, as a result of specific one-off items.
In line with the decline in operating income, the net profit amounted to 92 million Euros in FY'25 (10.3% of revenue), down from 178 million Euros in FY'24 (18.2% of revenue).
Positive Free Cash Flow generation
Consolidated cash-flows
| (Euros millions) | FY'25 | FY'24 |
| Continuing operations | ||
| EBITDA1,6 | 298 | 332 |
| Inventories | (38) | (19) |
| Trade receivables | (30) | (94) |
| Trade payables | (15) | (45) |
| Other receivables and liabilities | 4 | 17 |
| Change in working capital requirement | (79) | (142) |
| Tax paid | (17) | (25) |
| Net cash generated by operating activities | 202 | 165 |
| Net cash used in investing activities | (176) | (208) |
| Free Cash Flow | 26 | (43) |
| New loans and debt repayment (including finance leases), drawing on credit lines | (36) | (15) |
| Financial expenses | (14) | (12) |
| Liquidity contract and other items | (1) | (7) |
| Net cash used in financing activities | (50) | (33) |
| Impact of exchange rate fluctuations | 4 | (3) |
| Net change in cash | (21) | (80) |
The Group generated a positive Free Cash Flow of 26 million Euros in FY'25, which represents a 69 million Euros improvement compared to the 43 million Euros negative Free Cash Flow recorded in FY'24. Despite a lower EBITDA1,5, this strong increase essentially comes as a result of a better change in working capital. It also benefited from lower tax paid and from reduced capital expenditure.
Change in working capital remained under control with a cash outflow at 79 million Euros in FY'25, compared to a cash outflow of 142 million Euros in FY'24. FY'25 cash outflow is essentially reflecting:
- a 38 million Euros increase in inventories as a couple of customers requested to put some deliveries on hold while some late changes in product mix also resulted in an increase in bulk material inventories,
- a 30 million Euros increase in trade receivables, explained by a different customer mix,
- a 15 million Euros decrease in trade payables.
- a 15 million Euros decrease in trade payables.
The net cash used in investing activities amounted to 176 million Euros in FY'25, compared to 209 million Euros in FY'24. It takes into account financial income from cash investment of 19 million Euros (17 million Euros in FY'24). Including new production equipment under leases (31 million Euros in FY'25 vs. 51 million Euros in FY'24), total cash out related to capital expenditure amounted to 230 million Euros as expected. It compares with 276 million Euros spent in FY'24. Capital expenditure was essentially related to industrial investments, including:
- additional POI manufacturing tools in Bernin to increase capacity,
- production capacity for new SOI products (RF-SOI and Photonics-SOI) in Singapore and 300-mm SOI refresh capacity in Bernin,
- the ongoing extension of Singapore 300-mm facility (for the part already started),
- completion of the 200-mm SmartSiCTM pilot line in Bernin.
Capital expenditure also included IT investments as well as investments supporting the Group's innovation strategy and its environmental policy.
Net cash used in financing activities amounted to 50 million Euros in FY'25 (33 million Euros in FY'24) essentially reflecting a net decrease in borrowings and related interest paid.
In total, including a 4 million Euros positive impact of exchange rate fluctuations (3 million Euros negative impact in FY'24), the net cash outflow reached 21 million Euros in FY'25 (80 million Euros in FY'24) resulting in a steady strong cash position of 688 million Euros on March 31st, 2025.
Strong balance sheet maintained
Soitec maintained a strong balance sheet as of March 31st, 2025.
Shareholders' equity stood at 1.6 billion Euros on March 31st, 2025, up 100 million Euros from March 31st, 2024.
Financial debt on March 31st, 2025, was slightly up, at 782 million Euros against 747 million Euros on March 31st, 2024. Taking into account the 21 million Euros cash outflow recorded in FY'25, the net debt position6 was kept at a moderate level, at 94 million Euros on March 31st, 2025, up from 39 million Euros on March 31st, 2024.
FY'26 outlook
Given the current reduced visibility and market uncertainties, the Group withdraws any guidance, whether related to all or part of its activities. This includes the projection of a quite limited growth for FY'26, as well as the medium-term ambition to reach a revenue target of $2bn with an EBITDA margin of approximately 40%. Going forward, the Group will only provide revenue guidance on a quarterly basis.
Q1'26 revenue, impacted by the anticipated phase-out of Imager-SOI, is expected down around 20% year-on-year (Imager-SOI Q1'25 revenue: $25m). FY'26 Capex cash-out is expected around €150m, down from €230m in FY'25.
Operating model at scale
Soitec continues to pursue its long-term growth strategy, supported by structural trends in its end markets and the accelerated diversification of its product portfolio.
In this context, Soitec has defined an operating model at scale, representing the financial profile the Group could achieve when operating at a higher volume level. This model reflects the Group's internal assessment of the efficiencies and profitability enabled by its current industrial and technological platform.
Based on its market assessment and competitive positioning, Soitec continues to grow its manufacturing capacity, in line with market growth and customer demand. The Group anticipates investing ~€770m to scale its production capacity to enable a $2bn revenue run-rate, which should yield significant operating leverage and cash generation improvement. Given ongoing reduced visibility and market uncertainties, the Group will not guide on a specific timing, which will be influenced by external factors beyond its control.
This operating model and the associated ambitions and financial information are not guidance and should not be interpreted as a financial objective or forecast. Actual results will depend on market dynamics, customer adoption, and execution.
Key events of Q4 FY'25
Divestment of Dolphin Design's main businesses
Dolphin Design's mixed-signal IP activities have been acquired on October 31st, 2024, by Jolt Capital, a private equity firm specializing in European deeptech investments. Dolphin Design's ASIC activities were sold to NanoXplore, a major player in SoC and FPGA semiconductor design, on December 30th, 2024.
Dolphin Design, acquired by Soitec in 2018, has long been at the forefront of delivering cutting-edge semiconductor design solutions in mixed-signal IP and ASICs. The sale of Dolphin Design's two main business activities will support Soitec's focus on strategic development and growth opportunities in its core advanced semiconductor materials business.
A 13 million Euros loss on the divestment of Dolphin Design's businesses was recorded in other operating expenses in FY'25. There will be no further impact on Soitec financial statements from FY'26.
Soitec contributes to accelerated development of integrated optical connectivity solutions for AI data centers with its silicon photonics SOI technology
On March 19th, 2025, Soitec welcomed recent industry steps to accelerate development and commercialization of co-packaged optics (CPO) solutions for data centers. The rapidly rising data requirements of AI and high-performance computing (HPC) are driving demand for silicon photonics-based CPO architectures. For data centers, CPO adoption enables energy savings of around 30% compared with current optical transceiver-based solutions. The momentum for widespread CPO adoption is building up. Following the earlier introduction of groundbreaking CPO products and demonstrators by Broadcom, Intel, and Marvell, NVIDIA unveiled its first CPO products, Spectrum-X and Quantum-X. Soitec is at the forefront of the transition from electrical to optical interconnects. CPO components are reliant on specialist silicon-on-insulator (Photonics-SOI) substrates, in which Soitec is a leader. The coming shift to CPO-based data center architectures is a major opportunity for Soitec.
Soitec joins the SEMI Silicon Photonics industry alliance
Soitec also announced on March 19th, 2025, that it has joined the SEMI Silicon Photonics Industry Alliance (SEMI SiPhIA), a group of more than 100 semiconductor industry partners, with TSMC and ASE serving as the alliance's advocates. The alliance's mission is to drive silicon photonics innovation and applications, advance industry standards, and foster knowledge-sharing, resource integration, and technical exchange. Through its membership, Soitec will contribute to strengthening supply chain partnerships and fostering international collaboration on the deployment of key next-generation technologies, including CPO.

- in Q4'25, in addition to Dolphin Design's mixed signal IP activities, the negative scope effect also includes the divestment of Dolphin Design's ASIC activities (completed on December 30th, 2024).
Consolidated financial statements for FY'25
As previously reported, Soitec's refocus on Electronics operations decided in January 2015 was nearly completed on March 31st, 2016. Consequently, the FY'25 residual income and expenses relating to Solar and Other activities are reported under 'Net result from discontinued operations', below the 'Operating income' line, meaning that down to the line 'Net result after tax from continuing operations', the consolidated income statement fully and exclusively reflects the Electronics activity as well as the Group's corporate functions expenses. This was already the case in FY'24 financial statements.
