Increased outlook for the 2017 fiscal year

Based on an assumed exchange rate of US$1.10 to the euro for the second half of the fiscal year, Infineon now forecasts revenue growth for the 2017 fiscal year in the range of 8 to 11 percent, and a Segment Result Margin of around 17 percent at the mid-point of revenue guidance.

Due to the stronger than expected development of revenues and order entry, higher investments in property, plant and equipment will be required.
