<html><head><title>Himax Technologies, Inc. Declares Cash Dividend for FY2013</title></head><body><p align="right">EXHIBIT 99.1</p><h3 align="center">Himax Technologies, Inc. Declares Cash Dividend for FY2013</h3><h4 align="center">27 Cents Per ADS Payable on July 23, 2014</h4><p>TAINAN, Taiwan, June 9, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Himax Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:HIMX) ("Himax" or "Company"), a supplier and fabless manufacturer of advanced display drivers and other semiconductor products, today declared a cash dividend of 27 cents per ADS, or 13.5 cents per ordinary share, for the year of 2013.</p><p>
	The cash dividend is expected to be paid on July 23, 2014 to all the shareholders of record as of July 11, 2014. The ADS book will be closed for issuance and cancellation from July 4, 2014 to July 11, 2014. Ex-dividend date is two trading days prior to the record date. Himax's 2014 dividend is based on its performance for FY2013. Typically, Himax pays out its yearly dividend at approximately the middle of its current calendar year based on the Company's previous year's financial performance.</p><p>
	"Since our IPO in 2006, we have remained committed to a dividend policy," began Mr. Jordan Wu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Himax Technologies, Inc. "The Himax dividend is based on our prior year's profitability. The payout ratio and yield of our dividend is compared to those of other dividend paying companies in our sector which we work to maintain our high competitive standards. As the result of our profitability improvement in 2013, Himax increases cash dividend from 25 cents per ADS in 2013 to 27 cents per ADS in 2014. The high payout ratio demonstrates our continued support of our shareholder base and long standing profitability."</p><p>
