ANNUAL REVENUE AS OF MARCH 31, 2019


Grenoble, France and Dallas, TX, USA – April 25, 2019 - Tronics, a TDK Group Company that manufactures custom MEMS products and standard inertial sensors, has announced its revenue for the fiscal year 2019 (from April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019). Consolidated revenue increased by 23%, mainly driven by the growth of the manufacturing activities recorded in Crolles, France.

Engineering 2,907 2,777 +5%   3,580  
Manufacturing ratio 56% 48%     47%  

Consolidated revenue for the fiscal year 2019 totalled nearly €6.6M, an increase of 23% compared to the same period of the previous pro forma fiscal year (April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018).

The Group's manufacturing activities recorded revenue of €3.7M, an increase of 42% over the same period of the previous fiscal year. This development is in line with the Company's strategy to continuously enhance its production activities, which now account for 56% of Tronics' overall revenue. This momentum was sustained by the increasing demand for Tronics' high-performance MEMS inertial sensors as well as the activities related to custom MEMS products for optical and industrial applications.

Engineering activities, dedicated to the development and the industrialization of future custom MEMS products at Group level, accounted for €2.9M in the fiscal year 2019 (versus nearly €2.8M in the fiscal year 2018).

Following the bankruptcy of a start-up customer with high potential, the level of the activity in the US subsidiary is currently below the Group's expectations, and now accounts for 8% of the consolidated revenue (compared to 5% during the last fiscal year).

As a result, the Group should announce significant losses for the period ending on March 31, 2019, given the continued investments and the expenses in sustaining both production units, in compliance with the pursued strategy.
