Annual Report 2021

The coronavirus pandemic continued to have an impact in the 2021 fiscal year. The unexpectedly strong recovery of the global economy by the end of the 2020 calendar year led to a boom in demand in many sectors and a resultant shortage of semiconductor components.

We are continuing to focus on the structurally fastgrowing themes of electrification and digitalization. With Cypress, we have significantly increased our expertise in system solutions, especially with regard to the IoT.

The integration of Cypress and the refinancing of this acquisition are proceeding on schedule. In March 2021, capital market confidence in Infineon’s economic prospects resulted in the inclusion of our shares in Europe’s most prestigious stock market index, the EURO STOXX 50^®.

Sustainability plays a key role for Infineon. At the beginning of 2020, we had already set ourselves the goal of becoming carbon-neutral by 2030. Our high sustainability ratings and our inclusion in sustainability indices are both our reward and our motivation.

Many of you have been following Infineon’s progress for a number of years. You know that one really important factor in the success of the Company is our deep conviction that we can use innovative technology to contribute towards solving major challenges. Whether we are talking about the climate crisis, dwindling resources or population growth, the urgent issues of our time require intelligent concepts and solutions that enable us to lead a sustainable and secure life. Infineon, which acts as a link between the real world and the digital world, is more in demand than ever, and we have never been in a better position than we are today.
