Premstaetten, Austria (30 April 2019) -- ams (SIX: AMS), a leading worldwide supplier of high performance sensor solutions, reports first quarter results with revenues at the upper end of the guidance range and operating profitability above guidance. Driven by ams’ consumer business, these results reflect ongoing customer success in optical and 3D sensing despite a generally more subdued end market environment and typical seasonality in the consumer market. ams expects a positive sequential and year-on-year development for the second quarter with expected revenues of USD 390-430 million and a strongly higher adjusted operating margin of around 10%.

The adjusted result from operations (EBIT) for the first quarter was USD 23.5 million or 6% of revenues (excluding acquisition-related and share-based compensation costs), above previous guidance, while decreasing from USD 71.4 million in the same period 2018
(USD -4.5 million or -1% of revenues including acquisition-related and share-based compensation costs, down from USD 43.0 million in the same period 2018).
Adjusted net income for the first quarter was USD -9.5 million (excluding valuation effect of option element of foreign currency convertible bond), compared to USD 92.3 million for the same period 2018 (first quarter 2019 including valuation effect: USD -9.5 million).
