ANNUAL RESULTS AS OF MARCH 31, 2024

Crolles, France – July 4, 2024 – Tronics Microsystems, a TDK Group Company that manufactures standard and custom MEMS inertial sensors for industrial applications, has announced its results for the fiscal year 2024 (from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024).

Tronics' Management Board met on June 19, 2024, and approved the accounts of its fiscal year ending on March 31, 2024, which were presented to the Supervisory Board on the same day.

The annual financial report will be made publicly available and submitted to the French Market Authorities during July 2024. This report will be uploaded on the company's investors website, in the ”Financial Documents” section: www.tronicsgroup-bourse.com.

CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL RESULTS

In accordance with IFRS 5 “Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations”, the discontinued operations are identified in a separate line in the financial statements for the fiscal year 2024 and in fiscal year 2023 for comparison purposes.

6% growth of the consolidated revenue of the continuing operations in fiscal year 2024

Consolidated revenue of the continued operations for the fiscal year 2024, ending on March 31, 2024, totaled €13.6M, an increase of 6% compared to the previous fiscal year driven by the increasing demand for Tronics' high-performance digital MEMS inertial sensors.

That increase is the combination of the growth of manufacturing activities which amounted to €11.6M in fiscal year 2024 (versus €10.4M in the previous fiscal year) and a decrease in engineering revenues to €2.1M (versus €2.5M for the previous fiscal year).

Over the 2024 fiscal year, the group focused on the improvement of the efficiency of the production site and the control of the cost structure. This led to an increase of the Operating income from continuing operations of +39%. The Operating profit now represents more than 10% of the revenue (versus 8% in the previous fiscal year).

The operating income from continuing operations of the fiscal year as of March 31, 2024, came at €1.4M, and the net income was €1.0M.

Discontinued operations

The consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year 2024 include the effects of the decisions to close Tronics US operations and to sell the assets of Tronics MEMS Inc. taken by the Supervisory Board in March and May 2023.

In accordance with IFRS 5 (Non Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations), Tronics MEMS Inc. operations represent a separate major line of operation and have therefore been classified as “discontinued activities” in those consolidated financial statements.

The net income from discontinued operations amounted to +€1.7M and includes the effect of the sales of assets from May 2023 and the foreign exchange impact of the loan forgiveness from Tronics Microsystems SA to Tronics MEMS Inc.

BALANCE-SHEET STRUCTURE

As of March 31, 2024, the equity of Tronics stood at minus €6.2M, including the profit generated during the fiscal year 2024.

The gross debt of Tronics (mainly due to the loans contracted with TDK Group, its parent company) amounted to €12.9M decreasing by €7.2M.

On the financial level, Tronics benefits from the financial support of the TDK Group in order to adapt its cash flow to its investment needs.

PERSPECTIVES

For the current fiscal year, Tronics is aiming to continue to grow the inertial sensors revenue manufactured in Crolles and accelerate the commercialization of its AXO and GYPRO high performance inertial sensors products lines. The company will continue to invest in R&D to expand its innovative inertial MEMS products portfolio for heavy industrial inertial applications with high added value.
