Online Submitter's questions to Himax Technologies Inc (HIMX) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
An online submitter inquired about the full-year 2025 guidance and the demand outlook for the second half of the year, particularly concerning the automotive market.
Answer
President and Chief Executive Officer Jordan Wu reiterated that Himax does not provide full-year guidance. He noted that visibility for the second half is particularly low due to tariff uncertainties and customer concerns about the effectiveness of potential new stimulus programs in China's auto market. Despite this, Wu stated the internal goal is to achieve growth in the automotive business, driven by strong market share in new technologies like TDDI, Tcon, and LTDI, which should offset potential declines in traditional DDIC.
