Annual General Meeting of Siltronic AG
Munich, May 13, 2016 - At the Annual General Meeting of Siltronic AG that
was held in Munich on May 12, 2016, the shareholders approved the items on
the agenda by a large majority. Approximately 88 percent of the share
capital of Siltronic AG was represented at the meeting. The Executive and
Supervisory Boards of Siltronic AG were discharged. Angela Wörl was elected
to serve on the Supervisory Board as shareholder representative after
having been previously ordered to temporarily serve as a Supervisory Board
member by the Munich District Court on January 4, 2016, at the request of
the Executive Board. Furthermore, KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft,
Munich, was chosen to be the auditor for financial year 2016.
In his speech, Chief Executive Officer Dr. Christoph von Plotho gave
shareholders a comprehensive overview of Siltronic AG and the financial
results for financial year 2015. "We generated sales of EUR 931 million and
even succeeded in increasing this figure by 9 percent compared to 2014,
despite inventory corrections by our customers in the second half and the
seasonal slowdown at the end of the year," he explained.
The company got off to a good start to the new year in the first quarter of
2016 by posting sales of EUR 221 million and EBITDA of just under EUR 24
million.
Nevertheless, the market environment in 2016 remains challenging for
Siltronic. The company currently expects sales which will be in the low to
mid single-digit percentage range below the level of the previous financial
year. The company expects to achieve a slight improvement in its EBITDA
margin due to significantly lower currency effects from hedging and
positive effects from the ongoing cost reduction program, however.
Von Plotho also discussed the planned investments of around EUR 80 million
in his speech. These mainly relate to a new crystal pulling hall at the
site in Freiberg, the replacement of obsolete crystal pullers with state-
of-the-art equipment and continued automation of manufacturing. These
investments will help the company to remain competitive. "We can only
achieve this if we continue to increase our yields, keep our technology up
to date and increase our productivity," von Plotho emphasized.
The detailed voting results as well as the speech of the CEO of Siltronic
AG, Dr. Christoph von Plotho, are available in the Investor Relations/
Annual General Meeting section at www.siltronic.com.
