OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2003

 

                  Third quarter revenues were Euro 1.47 billion – flat sequentially and increasing 11 percent year-on-year - mainly driven by increased sales in the logic product segments

                  Quarterly net loss was Euro 116 million - improving from a net loss of Euro 328 million sequentially - primarily due to further productivity increases and no significant inventory valuation effect; the net loss includes an impairment charge of Euro 68 million related to Catamaran Communications

                  Improved gross cash position of 2.4 billion Euro and positive free cash flow of Euro 11 million

 

Infineon Technologies, the world’s six-largest semiconductor manufacturer according to IC Insights, ended the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 on June 30, 2003, with revenues from continuing operations of Euro 1.47 billion, remaining primarily unchanged sequentially and increasing 11 percent year-on-year.

 

The net loss in the third quarter amounted to Euro 116 million compared to a net loss of Euro 328 million in the previous quarter and a net loss of Euro 76 million in the third quarter of the last fiscal year. This strong sequential improvement is mainly due to increased productivity, further cost reductions and no significant inventory valuation effect compared to the previous quarter. The quarterly loss included an impairment charge of Euro 68 million, reflecting a partial goodwill write down related to the acquisition of Catamaran Communications. The net loss also included a tax benefit of Euro 10 million compared to a tax expense of Euro 96 million in the previous quarter.

 

Basic and diluted loss per share for the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 was Euro 0.16, compared to a loss per share of Euro 0.45 in the previous quarter and Euro 0.11 year-on-year.

 

Revenues

 

Although we currently forecast a more positive market environment, especially for DRAM, revenues in the third quarter remained under pressure due to the unfavorable Euro/Dollar exchange rate conditions and ongoing strong pricing competition. However, during the quarter we achieved improved revenue performance in most of our segments.

 

Segment revenue developments during the third quarter of the 2003 financial year as compared to the previous quarter and the third quarter of the 2002 financial year were as follows:

 

                  The Automotive & Industrial segment’s third quarter revenues were Euro 351 million, a decrease of 1 percent sequentially but an increase of 14 percent year-on-year. The sequential decrease was due to a decline in licensing income from the previous quarter.  According to Strategy Analytics, Infineon’s Automotive and Industrial segment in 2002 increased its market

share as the No 1 in Europe with a greater than 15 percent market share and the No 2 position worldwide with a greater than 8 percent market share.

 

                  Wireline Communications third quarter revenues improved to Euro 119 million in the third quarter, an increase of 6 percent from the previous quarter, and up 17 percent year-on-year. The sequential revenue increase was principally due to higher sales of access and fiber optic products.

 

                  Secure Mobile Solutions third quarter revenues were Euro 387 million, an increase of 3 percent from the previous quarter and 18 percent compared to the third quarter of last year. The sequential quarterly revenue increase was mainly driven by security solutions and Local Area Wireless applications, particularly Bluetooth.

 

                  The Memory Products segment’s third quarter revenues were Euro 569 million, a decrease of 7 percent sequentially but an increase of 4 percent year-on-year. The sequential revenue decrease was mainly due to the unfavorable Dollar/Euro exchange rate development, slightly declining average selling prices for memory products and, licensing income of Euro 36 million, which was lower compared to the previous quarter.

 

                  Revenues in the Other operating segment were Euro 36 million, up 38 percent sequentially and up 50 percent year-on-year.

 

Revenues outside Europe in the third quarter constituted 57 percent of total revenues, up from 56 percent in the previous quarter.

 

Operating Results

 

Quarterly EBIT (which we define as earnings (loss) from continuing operations before interest, minority interest and taxes) improved to a loss of Euro 115 million, compared to a loss of Euro 223 million in the previous quarter, but up from a loss of Euro 110 million in the third quarter of the last fiscal year.

 

For our segments, the developments during the third quarter of the 2003 financial year as compared to the previous quarter and the third quarter of the 2002 financial year were as follows:

 

                  The Automotive & Industrial segment’s third quarter EBIT remained flat sequentially at Euro 49 million and increased from Euro 29 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2002. The segment maintained its level of profitability mainly due to higher productivity, based on the ongoing conversion of production to 200mm wafers, and the full utilization of capacities.

 

                  Wireline Communications EBIT amounted to a loss of Euro 99 million compared to a loss of Euro 39 million in the previous quarter and a loss of Euro 49 million year-on-year. Third quarter EBIT included an impairment of Euro 68 million related to the acquisition of Catamaran Communications.

 

                  Secure Mobile Solutions’ third quarter EBIT loss of Euro 17 million improved from an EBIT loss of Euro 23 million during the previous quarter but declined from a positive EBIT of Euro 3

million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2002. The sequential improvement of EBIT loss was mainly due to increased sales volume, particularly for security controllers.

 

                  The Memory Products segment’s third quarter EBIT improved significantly to Euro 2 million compared to an EBIT loss of Euro 138 million in the second quarter and a loss of Euro 22 million year-on-year. The strong EBIT improvement was mainly due to further productivity increases and the absence of significant inventory valuation adjustments. We achieved profitability in our memory products group despite slightly declining average selling prices for DRAMs and maintained our favourable cost position in the DRAM market with our lead in 300mm volume production in Dresden, where we have reached approximately 6,400 wafer starts per week.

 

                  The Other operating segments’ EBIT was a loss of Euro 14 million compared to a loss of Euro 15 million in the previous quarter and a positive EBIT of Euro 3 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2002.

 

                  In Corporate and Reconciliation EBIT in the third quarter improved to a loss of Euro 36 million, compared to a loss of Euro 57 million in the second quarter and a loss of Euro 74 million year-on-year. The reduced loss primarily reflects reduced unallocated idle capacity costs and corporate restructuring charges.

 

Expenditures for Research and Development in the third quarter totaled Euro 273 million, or 19 percent of sales, compared to Euro 254 million in the second quarter. The increase is mainly due to additional investments in our technology expertise for 3G as well as Optical Networking.

 

SG&A expenses totalled Euro 158 million or 11 percent of total revenues, down from Euro 164 million in the previous quarter. The further decrease in these expenditures primarily reflects the effects of cost reduction measures taken.

 

Results for First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 2003

 

Total revenues for the first nine months of fiscal year 2003 were Euro 4.4 billion, up 22 percent from Euro 3.6 billion in the same period last year. Net loss amounted to Euro 484 million, compared to a net loss of Euro 515 million year-on-year. Tax expense of Euro 98 million was recorded for the first nine months of fiscal year 2003 compared to a tax benefit of Euro 345 million during the comparable period of fiscal year 2002. EBIT for the first nine months of this fiscal year was a loss of Euro 369 million, a significant improvement from an EBIT loss of Euro 845 million year-on-year.

 

As of June 30, 2003, we had approximately 31,600 employees worldwide, including about 5,700 engaged in research and development.

Liquidity

 

On June 5, 2003, we issued Euro 700 million subordinated convertible notes due 2010, as we decided to take advantage of the low interest rates available in the European convertibles market to improve our cash position. The notes may be converted into up to 68.2 million ordinary shares of Infineon Technologies AG.

 

Our gross cash position, representing cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash, amounted to Euro 2.4 billion, up sequentially from Euro 1.5 billion. The increase in gross cash was mainly attributable to the convertible bond.

 

In addition, we have decided to divest of our interest in ProMOS Technologies and from April 1, 2003 our investment in ProMOS is no longer accounted for on the equity method and is treated as marketable securities available for sale.

 

Free cash flow, representing cash from operating and investing activities excluding purchases or sales of marketable securities, significantly improved from a negative Euro 90 million in the previous quarter to a positive Euro 11 million. This improvement mainly reflects higher operating cash flow and lower capital expenditures compared to the previous quarter.

 

Outlook for the second half of calendar year 2003

 

We have seen first signs of a positive market trend in the last quarter and anticipate continued improvement of demand both in our logic and our memory products segments in the second half of calendar year 2003. In the light of the continuing uncertainty of the global economic situation, which makes it difficult to predict consumer demand in our target applications, we will continue to implement our successful cost reduction and restructuring programs.

 

For the Secure Mobile Solutions segment, we expect a further moderate increase of demand for GSM/GPRS mobile handsets and Bluetooth products. In addition, we see a positive development of demand for security solutions, particularly for ID-systems, but also expects continued pricing pressure.

 

Agreeing with many industry analysts, we expect further reductions in capital expenditures in the global wireline telecom infrastructure market in 2003, but continue to expect moderate growth in Europe. We expect a further positive development of demand for broadband access technology, particularly in Asia.

 

In the automotive electronics and automotive semiconductor markets, we see weaker demand. However, we anticipate this to be primarily a seasonal effect since the automotive electronics market is expected to grow further despite the current weakness in the overall automotive industry.

 

For the logic segments as a whole, we expect a further overall improvement in revenues, as well as EBIT, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2003.

 

4



 

We have seen continuously growing demand and steadily increasing prices for DDR memory products since the beginning of June 2003. We expect a further positive development of demand mainly driven by gradually improving corporate replacement investments, the upcoming back-to-school season and the shift towards higher Megabyte per Box and DRAM demand due mainly to the introduction of the new INTEL Springdale chipset offering Dual Channel DDR technology for computers.

Infineon Technologies AG and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(euro in millions, except where otherwise stated)

 

1.     Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Infineon Technologies AG and its subsidiaries (“Infineon” or “the Company”) as of and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2002.

 

The preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent amounts and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

All amounts herein are shown in millions of euro (or “€”) except where otherwise stated. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2003, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months then ended and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months then ended are also presented in U.S. dollars (“$”), solely for the convenience of the reader, at the rate of one euro = $1.1502, the noon buying rate on June 30, 2003.

 

2.     Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”, which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances), many of which were previously classified as equity. It also addresses questions about the classification of certain financial instruments that embody obligations to issue equity shares. The changes in this Statement will result in a more complete depiction of an entity’s liabilities and equity and will, thereby, assist investors and creditors in assessing the amount, timing, and likelihood of potential future cash outflows and equity share issuances. This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 150 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, which amends Statement 133 for decisions made (1) as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process that effectively required amendments to Statement 133, (2) in connection with other Board projects dealing with financial instruments, and (3) in connection with implementation issues raised in relation to the application of the definition of a derivative, in particular, the meaning of an initial net investment that is smaller than would be required for other types of contracts that would be expected to have a similar response to changes in market factors, the meaning of underlying, and the characteristics of a derivative that contains financing components. This statement shall be effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 149 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, which addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities which have one or both of the following characteristics: (1) The equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without support from other parties and (2) the equity investors lack one or more of the defined essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest. This Interpretation requires existing unconsolidated variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary

 

11



 

beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse risks among the participating parties. This Interpretation applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It also applies in the first fiscal year or interim period after June 15, 2003 to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of Interpretation No. 46 on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure”, which amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an entity’s accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation. Finally, it amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require disclosure about those effects in interim financial information. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 effective from October 1, 2002. The pro-forma impact of adopting the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation under SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, is disclosed in note 16.

 

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others”, which requires a company upon issuance of a guarantee, to recognize an initial liability for the fair value of obligations assumed under the guarantee and provides additional disclosure requirements. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of Interpretation No. 45 effective October 1, 2002 (see note 18).  The initial recognition requirements of Interpretation No. 45 are effective for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, the adoption of which did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)”. SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for the cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when, and in the period in which, the liability is incurred. Under EITF No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost as defined in EITF No. 94-3 was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 146, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. SFAS No. 144 retains the current requirement to recognize an impairment loss only if the carrying amounts of long-lived assets to be held and used are not recoverable from their expected undiscounted future cash flows. However, goodwill is no longer required to be allocated to these long-lived assets when determining their carrying amounts. SFAS No. 144 requires that a long-lived asset to be abandoned, exchanged for a similar productive asset, or distributed to owners in a spin-off be considered held and used until it is disposed. However, SFAS No. 144 requires the depreciable life of an asset to be abandoned be revised. SFAS No. 144 requires all long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale be recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell and to cease depreciation (amortization). Therefore, discontinued operations are no longer measured on a net realizable value basis, and future operating losses are no longer recognized before they occur. Effective October 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) normal use of the asset. SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expense. If the obligation is

 

12



 

settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability, a gain or loss on settlement will be recognized. Effective October 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 143, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

3.     Acquisitions

 

The Company acquired 92.5% of the outstanding shares of SensoNor AS on June 18, 2003 following a public tender offer, and the remaining 7.5% by June 30, 2003, for total consideration of € 34. SensoNor, a listed stock corporation company based in Horton, Norway, develops, produces and markets tire pressure monitors. The Company is in the process of finalizing the purchase price allocation.

 

On September 9, 2002, Infineon acquired all the shares of Ericsson Microelectronics AB (“MIC”). MIC, based in Sweden, a supplier of Radio Frequency (RF) microelectronic components for wireless applications, high end power amplifiers, Bluetooth components and broadband communications. MIC is a strategic supplier to Ericsson, a market leader in base stations, Bluetooth solutions and RF components for mobile phones and wireless infrastructure.  The Company also entered into a strategic supply agreement with Ericsson for a period of two years with certain specified purchase thresholds, pursuant to which € 50 was recorded as a liability as of September 30, 2002.

 

In June 2003, the Company and Ericsson signed an amendment to the MIC acquisition agreement. The companies will strengthen their strategic co-operation in various areas of mobile phone technology and wireless infrastructure, including Bluetooth solutions, RF ICs, RF Power and other applications. Furthermore the companies agreed to eliminate the remaining acquisition indebtedness due to Ericsson of € 50 million as well as the historic and future purchase thresholds of Ericsson and related penalties. In addition, the Company received € 50 million from Ericsson. These amounts have been reflected as an adjustment to the originally recorded goodwill.

 

Following these amendments, the purchase price allocation for the MIC acquisition was finalized and is presented below:

achievements of specified events.

 

Proforma financial information relating to these acquisitions is not material to the results of operations and financial position of the Company and has therefore been omitted.

 

4.     Discontinued Operation and Divestitures

 

Pursuant to an agreement reached between the Company and Osram GmbH (“Osram”), the Company transitioned all its opto-electronic activities to Osram as of March 31, 2003. The agreement provides for the transfer of all customer relationships and related backlog, the cancellation by the Company of all of its opto-electronic distribution agreements, as well as providing the Company with certain rights of return related to unsold inventory as of March 31, 2003. The Company did not incur a loss on the discontinuation of the opto-electronic business. Accordingly, the results of the opto-electronics business are presented as a discontinued operation in the accompanying financial statements.

 

The following table presents comparative information of the discontinued operation, which was previously reported as part of the other operating segments, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003, respectively:

On July 1, 2002, the Company completed the sale of its gallium arsenide business, reflected in the Wireless solutions segment, including specified non-manufacturing tangible and intangible assets, as well as specified customer contracts and liabilities. The Company’s divested gallium arsenide business generated sales of € 9 and € 24, and earnings (loss) before interest, minority interest and taxes (“EBIT”) of € (3) and € (26) for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2002, respectively.

 

On December 31, 2001 the Company completed the sale of its remaining 81% interest in Infineon Technologies Krubong Sdn. Bhd., representing its infrared components business unit, previously reflected in the other operating segment. The Company’s divested infrared components business generated sales of € 0 and € 11, and EBIT of € 0 and € (7), for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2002, respectively. The Company recognized a gain on sale of € 32, which is reflected other operating income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2002.

Deferred tax benefits are recognized to the extent it is considered more likely than not that such benefits will be realized in future years. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate the appropriate character of future taxable income sufficient to utilize loss carry-forwards or tax credits before their expiration. As a result of cumulative losses in certain tax jurisdictions over a three-year period, the Company did not recognize deferred tax benefits relating to those tax jurisdictions for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003. The Company expects to continue providing a full valuation allowance on deferred tax benefits arising in such tax jurisdictions, until such time as taxable income is generated from operations that would utilize the tax loss carry-forwards in those jurisdictions.

 

At June 30, 2003, Infineon had tax loss carry-forwards of € 2,019 and tax credit carry-forwards of € 84. Such tax loss and credit carry-forwards are from both German and non-German operations, are generally limited to use by the particular entity that generated the loss or credit and do not expire under current law, except for tax loss carry-forwards of € 91 which expire in 2020 and 2021.

 

6.     Restructuring

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2003, the Company continued to take further measures under its Impact programs aimed at improving operational efficiencies and reducing costs, which amounted to € 16. In addition, € 11, which had previously been accrued under restructuring, was forgiven in partial consideration for the execution of a service agreement and accordingly, has been deferred and will be recognized over the term of the service agreement.

 

The development of the restructuring liability during the nine months ended June 30, 2003, is as follows:

On April 29, 2003, the Company announced additional restructuring measures that are aimed at further reducing costs, including downsizing its workforce, outsourcing and decentralizing certain functions and operations. As part of the restructuring, the Company plans to terminate up to 900

 

15



 

employees comprised mainly from corporate functions and the Secure Mobile Solutions segment, as well as through the outsourcing of certain functions to external providers. In addition, the Automotive and Industrial segment will be relocated to Austria in order to benefit from the proximity between research and production facilities through increased efficiency and to be in a position to launch new products to the market more quickly. The Company is in the process of quantifying the costs relating to these restructuring measures and expects to recognize such costs to the extent incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2003.

 

7.     Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the sum of the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding plus all additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities or ordinary share equivalents had been issued.

 

The computation of basic and diluted loss per share from continuing operations is as follows:

On November 13, 2002, the Company entered into agreements with Nanya Technology Corporation (“Nanya”) relating to a strategic cooperation in the development of DRAM products and the foundation of a 50:50 joint venture to construct and operate a 300-millimeter manufacturing facility in Taiwan. Pursuant to the agreements, the Company and Nanya are developing advanced 90-nanometer and 70-nanometer technology, the cost of which will be borne two-thirds by the Company and one-third by Nanya. In connection with these development efforts, the Company has granted Nanya a license to use its 0.11-micron technology in Nanya’s existing operations. License income related to the technology is expected to be recognized over the estimated life of the technology. The new 300-millimeter manufacturing facility will be constructed by the joint venture and employ the technology developed under the aforementioned agreements to manufacture DRAM products and is anticipated to be completed in two phases. The first phase is projected to be completed by the second half of the 2004 calendar year. The second phase is anticipated to be completed in the 2006 financial year. The joint venture partners are obligated to each purchase one-half of the facility’s production based in part on market prices.

 

On October 4, 2002, the Company announced that it has cancelled its shareholders’ agreement with Mosel Vitelic Inc. (“MVI”) relating to their ProMOS joint venture, effective January 1, 2003, due to material breaches of the terms of the shareholders’ agreement by MVI. The product purchase and capacity reservation agreement, which establishes the rights and obligations of both shareholders to purchase product from ProMOS, also terminated on January 1, 2003. On January 27, 2003, the Company terminated its technology license agreement with ProMOS. ProMOS subsequently terminated this same technology license agreement. The technology license agreement provides for the use of an arbitration proceeding to resolve certain disputes. In May 2003, ProMOS initiated an arbitration proceeding relating to this dispute pursuant to International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) regulations which is to be conducted in Munich, Germany.

 

In February 2003, the Company, ProMOS and MVI agreed to extinguish third party indebtedness of € 60, which was subject to a guarantee by the Company, as well as offset other indebtness between the parties. The Company recognized previously deferred license income of € 36 and € 96 (of which  60 relates to the aforementioned guaranteed indebtness) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, and € 65 and € 85 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2002, since the amounts had been earned and realized.

 

In January 2003, the Company announced its intention to liquidate its investment in ProMOS, depending on market conditions, and in accordance with Taiwanese security regulations. Effective April 1, 2003, due to the lack of significant influence, the investment is no longer accounted for on the equity method, and is treated as marketable securities available for sale.  At June 30, 2003, the Company’s ownership interest in ProMOS was 19.3% and the carrying value of the Company’s investment was € 230.  The Company does not believe that the liquidation of its ProMOS investment or the outcome of the arbitration proceeding will result in material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

 

On October 1, 2002, the Company, Agere Systems Inc. and Motorola Inc., incorporated StarCore LLC, based in Austin, Texas. As of June 30, 2003, the Company holds a 34.3% ownership interest in exchange for contributed intellectual property, other assets and cash with an aggregate value of € 27. StarCore focuses on developing, standardizing and proliferating Digital Signal Processor (DSP) core technology.

The Company recognized impairment charges related to certain investments for which the carrying value exceeded the fair value on an other than temporary basis, of € 0 and € 31 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, and € 4 and € 12 for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2003, respectively.

 

11.  Other Assets

 

In June 2003, the Company entered into technology development and license agreements with IBM and Chartered Semiconductor for advanced logic process manufacturing technology. Licenses are amortized over the expected life of the related technology of five years.

 

As a result of the combination of below forecasted operating results and moderated market expectations, the Company, taking the technical milestones achieved to date into account, revised the forecasted returns for the optical networking reporting unit of the Wireline Communications segment. Accordingly, the Company tested the reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment pursuant to SFAS No.142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and recognized an impairment charge of € 68 during the three months ended June 30, 2003.

On June 5, 2003, the Company issued subordinated convertible notes due 2010 for gross proceeds of € 700 with deferred debt costs of € 14. The notes are convertible into up to 68 million ordinary shares of Infineon Technologies AG, the equivalent cash amount at the Company’s discretion or an equivalent cash/share combination. The notes have a maturity of 7 years and they cannot be called for the first three years, and are callable thereafter subject to a 125 percent provisional call.

 

At June 30, 2003, the 4.25% convertible subordinated notes due 2007 were trading at a 13.1% discount to par and the 5% convertible subordinated notes due 2010 were trading at a 13.7% premium to par, based on quoted market values.

 

At June 30, 2003, the Company is in compliance with its debt covenants under its credit facilities.

 

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003 was € 32 and € 31, respectively.

Interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003 was € 64 and € 87, respectively.

Pursuant to APB No. 25, the Company did not recognize compensation expense for stock options issued under these plans during the nine months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003, respectively, because the option terms and exercise price are fixed and the exercise price exceeded the market price of the underlying shares on each grant date. If the Company had accounted for stock option grants under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123, and thereby recognized compensation expense based on the fair values over the respective option vesting periods, net loss and loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

18.  Commitments and Contingencies

 

On August 7, 2000 and August 8, 2000, Rambus Inc. (“Rambus”), filed separate actions against the Company in the U.S. and Germany. Rambus alleges that the Company has infringed patents owned by Rambus that relate to the SDRAM and DDR dynamic random access memory (“DRAM”) products. The affected products currently constitute substantially all of the products of the Memory Products segment. If the Company were to be enjoined from producing SDRAM and DDR DRAM products, the Company’s financial position and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected, as the Company would have to discontinue the SDRAM and DDR DRAM product lines or enter into a licensing arrangement with Rambus, which could require the payment of substantial licensing fees. On May 4, 2001 and May 9, 2001, the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia dismissed all 57 of Rambus’ patent infringement claims against the Company. In addition, the court found that Rambus committed fraud by its conduct in the JEDEC standard setting organization and awarded damages to Infineon. On January 29, 2003 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit revised the District Court’s claim construction on 4 claim terms, and remanded the infringement case back to the District Court for a jury trial on 4 remaining claims. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the allegations of infringement. The Court of Appeals also reversed the District Court’s finding that Rambus had committed fraud by its conduct in JEDEC. On February 26, 2003, the Company asked for a rehearing of this decision at the Court of Appeals, which was rejected on April 4, 2003. (see note 20)

 

The initial hearings on the German action commenced in May 2001. In its brief on February 9, 2001,

 

22



 

Rambus amended its initial injunctive relief complaint to include a request for payment of damages for alleged infringement of the patents. No amount of damages have yet been declared. The initial hearing took place on May 18, 2001, at which time the Court noted the decisions of the parallel infringement suit in the U.S. The court has appointed a technical expert who has rendered an opinion on the infringement issue, however, the court is still to give its ruling. In addition, on September 11, 2002, the European Patent Office (EPO) declared that the Rambus Patent had been unduly broadened, thus making it easier for the Company to defend against allegations of direct infringement. Rambus has appealed the EPO’s declaration, and the EPO is expected to decide on the appeal in February 2004. In May 2004 the court is expected to rule on the appropriateness of a stay in this matter pending the EPO’s decision of the appeal. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

 

In October 1999, Deutsche Telekom AG (“DT”) notified the Company of a potential contractual warranty claim in respect of chips supplied by the Company for DT calling cards. The claim relates to damages allegedly suffered by DT as a result of such cards being fraudulently reloaded by third parties. DT originally alleged damages of approximately € 90 as a result of these activities, reflecting damages suffered and the cost of remedial measures, and sought compensation from both Siemens and the Company. In November 2001, however, DT brought an action in court against Siemens alone.  Siemens gave a third party notice to the Company and the Company has joined the court proceedings on the side of Siemens. DT currently claims damages of approximately € 150. After an initial hearing, a court decision is expected to be rendered by mid of July 2003. Should Siemens be found liable, the Company could be responsible for payments to Siemens in connection with certain indemnifications provided to Siemens at the Company’s formation. The Company has investigated the DT claim and believes that it is without merit. The Company does not anticipate that the ultimate resolution of the DT claim will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. (see note 20)

 

In June 2002, Infineon Technologies AG’s U.S. subsidiary, Infineon Technologies North America Corp., as well as other manufacturers of memory products, received a subpoena from a grand jury sitting in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in connection with an investigation of possible violations of U.S. federal antitrust laws involving pricing in the dynamic random access memory (DRAM) industry. The Company has been requested to provide information to the grand jury to assist with its investigation. Since then, a number of class action lawsuits have been filed against Infineon Technologies AG, Infineon Technologies North America Corp.  and other DRAM manufacturers alleging violations of the Sherman Act relating to the sale and pricing of DRAM products. All of these cases have been stayed pending a decision from the Joint Panel on Multidistrict Litigation on consolidation. In addition, a number of cases have been filed in California alleging violation of the Cartwright Act; those are also subject to a stay. In April 2003, Infineon Technologies AG received a request for information from the European Commission (the “Commission”) to enable the Commission to assess the compatibility with the Commission rules on competition of certain practices of which the Commission has become aware in the European market of DRAM memory products. The Company is in the process of responding to the U.S. Department of Justice and to the Commission. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters.

 

The Company is subject to various other lawsuits, claims and proceedings related to products, patents and other matters incidental to its businesses. Liabilities, including accruals for significant litigation costs, related to such matters are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Based upon information presently known to management, the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of such other pending matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, although the final resolution of such matters could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in the year of settlement.

 

In connection with the Formation, Siemens retained certain facilities located in the U.S. and certain related environmental liabilities. Businesses contributed to the Company by Siemens have conducted operations at certain of these facilities and, under applicable law, could be required to contribute to the environmental remediation of these facilities despite their retention by Siemens. Siemens has provided guarantees to certain third parties and governmental agencies, and all involved parties have recognized Siemens as the responsible party for all applicable sites. No assessments have been made of the extent of environmental remediation, if any, that could be required, and no claims have been made against the Company in this regard. The Company believes its potential exposure, if any, to liability for remediating the U.S. facilities retained by Siemens is therefore low.

The Company has capacity reservation agreements with certain Associated Companies and external foundry suppliers to purchase a portion of their production output based on market prices. Purchases under these agreements are recorded as incurred in the normal course of business. The Company assesses its anticipated purchase requirements on a regular basis to meet customer demand for its products. An assessment of losses under these agreements is made on a regular basis in the event that budgeted purchase quantities fall below the specified quantities.

 

The Company has received government grants and subsidies related to the construction and financing of certain of its production facilities. These amounts are recognized based on the attainment of specified milestone criteria and where the fulfillment of the total project requirements is reasonably assured through planned and committed spending levels, employment and other factors. The Company is committed to meeting these requirements. Nevertheless, should the total project requirements not be met, up to € 636 of these subsidies could be refundable as of June 30, 2003.

 

At June 30, 2003, the Company has recorded a provision, net of anticipated insurance recoveries, relating to a product warranty matter, against cost of good sold in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Management believes that based upon currently available information, such estimate will adequately provide for the exposure related to this matter.

 

Infineon Technologies AG, as parent company, has in certain circumstances as is customary, guaranteed the settlement of certain of its consolidated subsidiaries’ obligations to third parties.  Such obligations are reflected as liabilities in the consolidated financial statements by virtue of consolidation. As of June 30, 2003, such inter-company guarantees principally relate to certain consolidated subsidiaries’ third party debt and aggregated € 2,727, of which € 1,700 relates to the convertibles notes issued. Additionally, as of June 30, 2003, the Company had guaranteed associated company’s debt of € 22.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2003, the Company and IBM amended the shareholders agreement of their ALTIS Semiconductor joint venture (ALTIS), pursuant to which, the Company will ratably increase its capacity reservation in the production output of ALTIS from the existing level of 50% to 100% during calendar years 2004 through 2007.  Additionally, the amended shareholders agreement grants the Company an option to acquire IBM’s interest in ALTIS no later than January 31, 2008, and alternatively, regulates the dissolution of ALTIS and certain settlement payments by the Company to IBM.

 

19.  Operating Segment and Geographic Information

 

The Company decided to merge the activities of the Wireless Solutions and Security & Chipcard ICs segments into one operating segment called Secure Mobile Solutions and to report it as such with effect from October 1, 2002.

 

Segment data through June 30, 2003 have been reclassified and exclude discontinued operations (see note 4). The following tables present selected segment data for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003, respectively:

Certain items are included in corporate and reconciliation and are not allocated to the segments. These include corporate headquarters’ cost, certain incubator and early stage technology investment costs, non-recurring gains and specific strategic technology initiatives. Additionally, legal costs associated with intellectual property are recognized by the segments when paid, which can differ from the period originally recognized by corporate and reconciliation. For the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003 corporate and reconciliation includes unallocated excess capacity costs of € 54 and € 18 and restructuring (recovery) charges of € (1) and € 5, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003, corporate and reconciliation includes unallocated excess capacity cost of € 183 and € 64, and restructuring charge of € 7 and € 16, respectively.

Revenues from external customers are based on the customers’ billing location. Accordingly, there are no sales transactions between operating segments.

 

Except for sales to Siemens, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of Infineon’s sales during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003. Sales to Siemens are made primarily by the Secure Mobile Solutions and Automotive & Industrial segments.

 

Infineon defines EBIT as earnings (loss) from continuing operations before interest, minority interest and taxes. Infineon management uses EBIT as a measure to establish budgets and operational goals, to manage the company’s business and to evaluate its performance. Infineon reports EBIT information because it believes that it provides investors with meaningful information about the operating performance of the company and especially about the performance of its separate business segments. EBIT is determined as follows from the statement of operations, without adjustment to the US GAAP amounts presented:

20.  Subsequent Events

 

On July 3, 2003, in connection with the Rambus U.S. action (see note 18), the Company filed its petition for certiorari (application for a hearing) with the U.S. Supreme Court, but can not conclude as to the likelihood of a favorable outcome or whether the Company will ultimately prevail in the matter. The remand of the patent infringement suit back to the District Court in Virginia has been stayed until at least October 1, 2003, the currently planned date for the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on certiorari.

 

In July 2003, the European Commission announced an inquiry into whether proposed state subsidies (aggregating € 77) applied for, but not yet received, by the Company for the extension of its manufacturing plant in Portugal are in accordance with European Commission directives. In addition, the European Commission approved state subsidies of € 98 for Advanced Mask Technology Center, the Company’s Dresden-based joint venture which will research and develop optical photo masks.

 

On July 15, 2003, in the Deutsche Telekom (DT) action (see note 18) the district court ruled that DT does not have a valid claim for damages against Siemens and the Company.

Supplementary Information

 

Gross Cash Position

 

Infineon defines gross cash position as cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash. Since Infineon holds a substantial portion of its available monetary resources in the form of readily marketable securities, which for US GAAP purposes are not considered to be “cash”, it reports its gross cash position to provide investors with an understanding of the company’s overall liquidity. The gross cash position is determined as follows from the balance sheet, without adjustment to the US GAAP amounts presented:

Marketable securities as of June 30, 2003 includes the Company’s investment in ProMOS of € 230, which was accounted for as an equity method investment in prior periods. Such reclassification did not affect free cash flow.

 

Free Cash Flow

 

Infineon defines free cash flow as cash from operating and investing activities excluding purchases or sales of marketable securities. Since Infineon holds a substantial portion of its available monetary resources in the form of readily available marketable securities, and operates in a capital intensive industry, it reports free cash flow to provide investors with a measure to evaluate changes in liquidity after taking capital expenditures into account, which ultimately requires financing.  It is not intended to represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, since debt service requirements or other non-discretionary expenditures are not deducted. The free cash flow is determined as follows from the cash flow statement, without adjustment to the US GAAP amounts presented:
