Ad hoc-Service: Infineon Technologies AG FORE

Ad-hoc announcement sent by DGAP. The sender is solely responsible for the contents of this announcement. —————————————————————————— Infineon raises profit forecast for third quarter and fiscal 2000 Due to the increased demand for memory products and the better than expected positive price trend in this segment, Infineon Technologies has increased forecasts of the income it expects to generate in the third quarter and for fiscal 2000. The company expects EBIT (Earnings before Interest and Tax) for the third quarter (ending June 30, 2000) to be significantly above 300 million euros. Higher memory prices, which have been rising sharply since June, as well as above-average productivity gains, if continued, are likely to lead to even higher income in the fourth quarter. Apart from the memory business, demand has also been consistently high for products from all other segments in wireless and wired communications, automotive and security and chipcard ICs. Compared to revised sales forecasts for the worldwide semiconductor industry, Infineon is still set to grow significantly faster than the market. The World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) recently lifted its growth forecast for the year 2000 from 18.7 percent to 30.6 percent. Infineon plans to announce its third quarter results of fiscal year 2000 on July 26, 2000.
