# X-FAB posts Q4 EBITDA of USD 42.3 million, down 21% quarter-on-quarter

X-FAB Silicon Foundries SE reported fourth quarter (Q4) 2025 revenue of USD 222.3 million, an increase of 18% year-on-year and a decrease of 3% quarter-on-quarter. Excluding the impact from revenue recognized over time (IFRS 15), revenue amounted to USD 218.1 million, within the guided range of USD 215 million to USD 225 million. EBITDA for Q4 2025 was USD 42.3 million, up 6% year-on-year and down 21% quarter-on-quarter, with an EBITDA margin of 19.0%. Excluding a one-off item related to the SiC business totaling USD 9.3 million, the EBITDA margin would have been 23.6%. EBIT for the quarter was USD 9.8 million, down 7% year-on-year and 59% quarter-on-quarter. Full year (FY) 2025 revenue reached USD 870.3 million, up 7% year-on-year. Excluding the IFRS 15 impact, revenue was USD 867.6 million, within the guidance range of USD 863 million to USD 873 million. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of Q4 2025 amounted to USD 194.3 million, up USD 20.1 million compared to the previous quarter, while net debt decreased by USD 4.5 million quarter-on-quarter. During the period, X-FAB reported ongoing momentum in CMOS prototyping and strong traction in photonics initiatives. The SiC business is on track for recovery, although Q4 profitability was affected by a USD 9.3 million one-off expense related to the renegotiation of a long-term SiC raw wafer agreement and inventory revaluation. In response to short-term challenges and limited market visibility, X-FAB announced further cost-efficiency measures, including a planned headcount reduction in the high single-digit percentage range for 2026 and the gradual reduction of operational costs, with estimated quarterly cost savings of USD 6 million by Q4 2026. Effective February 6, 2026, Damien Macq will succeed Rudi De Winter as CEO of X-FAB Silicon Foundries SE.
