Q & A Highlights
Q: Can you explain the change in tone regarding the cyclical recovery and the impact of tariffs on your outlook? A: Haviv Ilan, CEO, explained that while the cyclical recovery is ongoing, with four out of five markets showing recovery, the automotive market remains shallow. The geopolitical environment, including tariffs, continues to create uncertainty, necessitating flexibility in operations. The company is prepared to support customers despite these challenges.
Q: Are you expecting gross margins to decline in the next quarter despite revenue growth? A: Rafael Lizardi, CFO, clarified that gross margins are expected to remain flat despite higher depreciation costs. The net of other income and expenses, including interest expenses, will be unfavorable by about $20 million due to lower cash levels and increased debt interest expenses.
Q: How is the industrial segment performing, particularly in light of trade and tariff concerns? A: Mike Beckman, Head of Investor Relations, noted that the industrial segment showed broad recovery across all sectors, continuing the trend from the first quarter. The recovery was not significantly impacted by tariff concerns.
Q: What is the outlook for capital expenditures and depreciation for the coming years? A: Rafael Lizardi stated that there are no changes to the CapEx and depreciation framework. For 2025, CapEx is expected to be $5 billion, and for 2026, it will range between $2 billion and $5 billion. Depreciation for 2025 is expected to be between $1.8 billion and $2 billion, and for 2026, between $2.3 billion and $2.7 billion.
Q: How is the automotive market performing, particularly in China, and is there any share loss? A: Haviv Ilan explained that the automotive market in China ran hot last year, and current dynamics are more about inventory correction rather than share loss. The automotive market has not yet shown signs of broad recovery, but it is expected to follow the industrial market's recovery pattern.
