Thalwil, Switzerland – 24 April 2024 – u-blox (SIX: UBXN), a global provider of leading positioning and wireless communication technologies and services, announces its trading update for the first quarter of 2024. u-blox generated revenue of CHF 56.0 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared to EBIT, on an IFRS basis, declined to CHF -20.4 million from CHF 28.1 million in the first quarter of 2023. The respective EBIT margin declined to -36.4% from 17.0% one year earlier. EBIT (adjusted) declined to CHF -18.6 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared to CHF 29.8 million one year earlier. The respective EBIT margin (adjusted) declined to -33.2% from 18.0% one year earlier. The decline reflects the lower operational leverage following the decline in revenue. Stephan Zizala, CEO of u-blox, commented, “The results achieved in the first quarter of 2024 were weak as expected. Our view for 2024 is unchanged: based on our experience and input from customers, we expect a sequential recovery over the next quarters.” u-blox remains positive on its long-term development prospects. Demand and requirements for semiconductor solutions for automated and autonomous driving, asset tracking, healthcare offerings, and industrial automation will grow significantly.
