INFINEON IS STRENGTHENING POSITION AS LARGEST SUPPLIER OF POWER SEMICONDUCTORS, OFFERING THE BROADEST PORTFOLIO OF PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR USE IN ENERGY-EFFICIENCY APPLICATIONS Neubiberg, Germany, January 29, 2015 - Infineon Technologies AG today reports its results for the first quarter of the 2015 fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. "We had a good start into the new fiscal year. Revenue and margin have developed better than expected during the three-month period, in particular due to the strength of the dollar. Even adjusted for the tailwind from the dollar and one-time effects, reported figures would have been at the upper end of the forecasted range, reflecting Infineon's ability to perform well, even in times of uncertainty. Compared in each case to the equivalent quarter of the previous year, our business has now grown for seven quarters in succession", stated Dr. Reinhard Ploss, CEO of Infineon Technologies AG. "Market conditions remain challenging. We are nevertheless confident that Infineon will continue to grow. The successful acquisition of International Rectifier will provide an additional boost."

1 The calculation for earnings per share is based on unrounded figures. REVIEW OF GROUP FINANCIALS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE 2015 FISCAL YEAR Revenue of the Infineon Group decreased by 4 percent quarter-on-quarter in the first quarter of the 2015 fiscal year to EUR1,128 million due to seasonality, compared with EUR1,175 million in the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year. On a year-on-year basis it increased by 15 percent from EUR984 million in the first quarter of the 2014 fiscal year. The lower-than-expected sequentially decrease in revenue partly reflected the fact that the US dollar was stronger than expected against the euro during the reporting period, adding some EUR20 million to Infineon's revenue compared to the the assumptions underlying our previous guidance. Excluding this effect, the quarter-on-quarter decrease in revenue would have been at the more favorable end of the originally forecasted range of between minus 5 and minus 9 percent. Segment Result fell quarter-on-quarter by 10 percent from EUR188 million to EUR169 million. The Segment Result Margin for the three-month period came in at 15.0 percent, compared to 16.0 percent in the fourth quarter of the 2014 fiscal year. As with revenue, the strength of the US dollar against the euro also impacted Segment Result positively. The reduction in the rental liability for the Group's Campeon headquarters - recognized on a linear basis following a change in future expected rental payments - also had an additional positive one-time effect. Excluding these two factors, the Segment Result Margin would have amounted to approximately 13 percent and - similar to revenue - would therefore also have been at the upper end of the original forecast of a Segment Result Margin of between 10 and 13 percent. Operating income for the first quarter of the current fiscal year totaled EUR153 million, compared with EUR118 million in the preceding quarter. The figure for the previous quarter included an exceptional expense of EUR83 million relating to a fine imposed by the European Commission in conjunction with antitrust proceedings against several manufacturers of semiconductors used in chip card applications. Income from continuing operations decreased from EUR148 million in the preceding quarter to EUR130 million in the first quarter of the 2015 fiscal year. A tax expense of EUR24 million arose in the first quarter of the new fiscal year, corresponding to an effective tax rate of 16 percent. In comparison, Infineon reported a tax benefit of EUR29 million in the fourth quarter of the 2014 fiscal year, reflecting the fact that the current tax expense for that period was more than offset by the revaluation of deferred tax assets. Income from discontinued operations decreased quarter-on-quarter to EUR6 million. The equivalent figure for the fourth quarter of the 2014 fiscal year was EUR33 million, reflecting the partial reversal of provisions in conjunction with the partial settlement reached with the Qimonda insolvency administrator. Net income for the first quarter of the current fiscal year totaled EUR136 million, compared with EUR181 million in the preceding quarter. First-quarter earnings per share (basic and diluted) amounted to EUR0.12, compared with EUR0.16 one quarter earlier. Investments - which Infineon defines as the sum of purchases of property, plant and equipment, purchases of intangible assets and capitalized development assets -amounted to EUR141 million in the first quarter of the 2015 fiscal year. This figure includes EUR21 million relating to patents acquired in conjunction with the settlement reached with the Qimonda insolvency administrator which are reported as "available for sale". Investments in the fourth quarter of the preceding fiscal year totaled EUR242 million. Depreciation and amortization increased from EUR137 million in the preceding quarter to EUR141 million in the first quarter of the new fiscal year. Free cash flow from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of the 2014 fiscal year was a positive amount of EUR158 million. In the first quarter, the equivalent figure was a negative amount of EUR171 million, with a lower net income and changes in working capital contributing to the deterioration. More significant, however, was the impact of the payments made during the period relating to a fine arising in conjunction with EU-antitrust proceedings against the Chip Card & Security segment (EUR83 million) and to the purchase of Qimonda patents and the settlement of disputes relating to patent usage rights following an extra-judicial agreement reached with the Qimonda insolvency administrator (EUR125 million). Excluding these two exceptional cash outflows, free cash flow from continuing operations would have been a positive amount of EUR37 million. The payment of a further EUR135 million for the portion of the settlement reached with the insolvency administrator that does not relate to the Qimonda patents contributed to a negative free cash flow of EUR140 million from discontinued operations. As a result of the negative free cash flow, Infineon's gross cash position fell from EUR2,418 million at September 30, 2014 to EUR2,107 million at December 31, 2014. Correspondingly, the net cash position decreased from EUR2,232 million at September 30, 2014 to EUR1,917 million at the end of the first quarter. ACQUISITION OF INTERNATIONAL RECTIFIER Infineon successfully completed the acquisition of International Rectifier on January 13, 2015. Due to the short period of time between the completion of the acquisition and the date of reporting the figures for the first quarter, Infineon has not yet reported on the acquisition in accordance with IFRS requirements and has not yet presented an outlook for the International Rectifier sub-group. Infineon is planning to report financials and an outlook for the entire Group (including the business acquired from International Rectifier) when reporting the figures for the six-month period on May 5, 2015. For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, International Rectifier achieved revenue of US$275 million and an adjusted operating income-margin (adjusted by amortization on intangible assets, restructuring and merger-related costs) of 7.0 percent in accordance with US GAAP (unaudited figures). Net cash stood at US$658 million as of December 31, 2014. OUTLOOK FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF THE 2015 FISCAL YEAR (excluding International Rectifier) Based on an assumed exchange rate of US$1.20 to the euro, Infineon expects quarter-on-quarter revenue growth of between 5 and 9 percent in the second quarter of the 2015 fiscal year. All segments are forecast to contribute to the expected revenue growth. A Segment Result Margin of between 12 and 13 percent is forecast. OUTLOOK FOR THE 2015 FISCAL YEAR (excluding International Rectifier) Based on an assumed exchange rate of US$1.20 (previously US$1.30) to the euro, Infineon forecasts a year-on-year growth in revenue of 12 percent, plus or minus 2 percentage points. So far, Infineon had expected sales growth of 8 percent, plus or minus 2 percentage points. At the mid-point of the planned range for revenue growth, the Segment Result Margin is expected to come in at between 14 and 15 percent. Previously, Infineon had predicted a Segment Result Margin of about 14 percent. The Power Management & Multimarket (PMM) and Chip Card & Security (CCS) segments are expected to record faster revenue growth than the average for the Group as a whole. The growth rate for the Automotive (ATV) segment should be roughly in line with the Group average. Revenue growth in the Industrial Power Control (IPC) segment is likely to be below the Group average. Expected investments for the 2015 fiscal year are around EUR750 million containing an amount of about 13 to 14 percent of sales for investments for equipment within our operating facilities and for intangibles as one part. In addition between EUR60-70 million will be spent for readying the second shell in Kulim, Malaysia, for volume production and payments of EUR21 million are included for the purchase of Qimonda patents in conjunction with the settlement reached with the insolvency administrator of Qimonda AG. Depreciation and amortization is expected to amount to approximately EUR600 million.
