Based on preliminary figures for fiscal year 2022 (Oct. 1, 2021 - Sept. 30, 2022), the Management Board of First Sensor AG ("First Sensor") has determined that the annual planning, in particular the planned EBIT margin of -2.0 to +2.0%, will be missed. The deviation is primarily due to burdens from increased material costs. For this reason, the Management Board is revising its guidance and expects an EBIT margin of -3.0 to -4.0 percent for fiscal 2022.

The 2022 Annual Report will be published on January 31, 2023.
