Bernin (Grenoble), France, July 22nd, 2026
Soitec (Euronext Paris), a world leader in the design and manufacturing of innovative semiconductor materials, today announced unaudited consolidated revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 (period ended on June 28th, 2026).
Since the start of Q2’27, the Group has seen further acceleration in customer demand for Photonics-SOI, as well as the satisfactory results of the action plan initiated to increase its production output. As visibility in the Photonics-SOI business improved materially, Soitec published its Q1’27 revenue ahead of schedule.
Laurent Rémont, CEO of Soitec, commented: “Q1’27 revenue came in above our guidance, driven by the strong acceleration of AI-related activity, with Photonics-SOI sales doubling year-on-year.
Visibility on Photonics-SOI is now good, as we continue to sign Capacity Reservation Agreements with multiple customers over several years. We have successfully qualified our Singapore 300mm SOI fab with first customers. With higher demand and improved execution, I am confident in the outlook for the year, as we advance additional customer qualifications.
We are tracking to the plan we set out. With the company positioned on a cash generation path, revenue is now back to growth, paving the way for improved profitability.”

| Q1’27 | Q1’26 | y/y change (reported) | y/y change (at constant FX & scope) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mobile Communications | 39 | 43 | -10% | -10% |
| Edge & Cloud AI | 65 | 44 | +47% | +46% |
| Automotive & Industrial | 10 | 5 | +108% | +108% |
| Revenue | 113 | 92 | +23% | +23% |
Mobile Communications revenue reached €39 million in Q1’27, down 10% year-on-year at constant currency and scope. In a constrained smartphone market, POI adoption continues to gain momentum, while RF-SOI customers make further progress in reducing excess inventories.
RF-SOI sales were broadly stable year-on-year, as higher 300mm sales offset lower 200mm RF-SOI sales.
POI (Piezoelectric-on-Insulator) sales were roughly stable. Higher volumes, reflecting continued technology adoption, were offset by lower pricing. The recent long-term agreement with Skyworks provides greater medium-term visibility and reinforces POI's position as a core substrate for next-generation filter architectures.
FD-SOI sales were lower year-on-year. FD-SOI is the only solution for fully integrated 5G mmWave system-on-chips and enables state-of-the-art RF integration for Wi-Fi 7 SoCs.
Edge & Cloud AI revenue reached €65 million in Q1’27, up 46% year-on-year at constant currency and scope.
This strong performance was primarily driven by Photonics-SOI, with sales doubling year-on-year, driven by volumes. Demand remains underpinned by the growing need for high-speed, high-bandwidth optical connectivity in AI data center infrastructure, including pluggable transceivers and Near-Package Optics (NPO), as well as the industry qualification of Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) architectures.
Soitec continues to strengthen its medium-term visibility in Photonics-SOI through multi-year commitments from a growing number of customers, and associated cash deposits. These commitments extend beyond FY27, while the Group remains focused on scaling its Photonics-SOI production capacity to support accelerating demand. In this context, the qualification of its Singapore fab for 300mm Photonics-SOI production with initial customers marks an important milestone, supporting confidence in the ramp-up path as the Group continues to progress additional customer qualifications.
FD-SOI sales in Edge & Cloud AI increased year-on-year, with a slightly positive price/mix contribution. FD-SOI technology serves as a primary foundation for edge computing and AI-powered applications. By pairing compute performance with excellent energy efficiency, FD-SOI enables continuous, always-on AI processing across consumer, wearables, healthcare, and industrial IoT markets.
Automotive & Industrial revenue reached €10 million in Q1'27, up 108% year-on-year at constant currency and scope, albeit from a low comparison base, as some customers continued to work through excess inventories. The Group has good visibility for FY27, supported by a long-term agreement with a key customer.
Power-SOI sales increased year-on-year, driven by higher 200mm volumes. Primarily used in smart power management for electric vehicles (EVs), Power-SOI provides the underlying platform for critical Battery Management Systems (BMS) and power control circuits operating alongside advanced power semiconductors. To meet growing demand across vehicle electrification applications, Soitec continues to actively drive the transition to 300mm wafers.
Automotive FD-SOI wafer sales also increased year-on-year, essentially supported by larger volumes. The technology is gaining traction for applications such as automotive radar, microcontrollers, and other analog/mixed-signal systems, allowing next-generation vehicles to perceive and respond to their environment with superior power efficiency.
Soitec expects Q2’27 revenue to be up more than 30% year-on-year, notably sustained by an acceleration in Photonics-SOI.
Looking ahead, the momentum behind Photonics-SOI keeps building. As AI architectures progressively adopt optical transceivers, SOI delivers higher bandwidth, lower latency and better energy efficiency, supporting the acceleration in demand Soitec has witnessed over the past several months. Beyond current deployments, the industry is now preparing the transition to scale-up architectures. This transition is expected to occur through successive phases. Photonics-SOI technology has already demonstrated its ability to address different scale-up configurations, such as pluggable transceivers, Near-Package Optics (NPO) and Co-Packaged Optics (CPO).
As the industry is entering the scale-up era with mass production of AI Interconnects, Soitec is actively cementing its leadership in the Photonics value chain and working on capturing the steep acceleration in customer demand. In this context, Soitec’s visibility on Photonics-SOI end-demand and the Group’s ability to execute are improving. Assuming no material disruption in the AI market, Photonics-SOI FY27 revenue is expected to more than double the slightly above $100m generated in FY26.
This visibility is underpinned by accelerating adoption across AI data centers, expanding multi-year customer commitments to secure capacity with cash deposits, a strong signal of engagement to securing long-term supply with Soitec. Further volumes are under active discussion.
For FY27, we expect contrasting dynamics across our end markets. In Mobile Communications, progress in POI should be offset by the ongoing customer inventory correction in RF-SOI, in a challenging smartphone market. In Automotive, the good visibility stemming from a customer long-term agreement means that any early signs of end-market recovery would not be expected to benefit the Group this year. By contrast, Edge & Cloud AI momentum continues to improve, driven by accelerating demand for Photonics-SOI.
Projected FY27 CAPEX cash-out is confirmed around €100m.
Soitec qualified its 300mm SOI fabrication facility in Singapore with its first customers for high-volume Photonics-SOI manufacturing. This milestone enhances the Group's capacity to meet surging demand for Photonics-SOI driven by AI data center architectures. Supported by growing visibility on demand, secured by customer downpayments, Soitec is scaling its industrial footprint through a disciplined, controlled investment strategy. The Singapore site is central to this effort; its strategic location and established 300mm manufacturing capabilities allow Soitec to serve the Photonics-SOI market with increased agility and scale. Combined with the Group's facilities in Bernin, this dual-site manufacturing footprint provides robust supply chain resilience, further solidifying Soitec’s position as a partner of choice for the rapidly evolving photonics ecosystem.
On June 29th, 2026, Soitec and ZenSemi announced a strategic collaboration to enable high-volume production of 300mm BCD-on-SOI technologies for next-generation power electronics. Under the partnership, Soitec will supply ZenSemi with its advanced 300mm Power-SOI substrates to support the development and capacity ramp-up of a new BCD-on-SOI process. By combining Soitec’s engineered substrate expertise with ZenSemi’s specialty foundry capabilities, the collaboration aims to provide fabless companies and integrated device manufacturers with a high-performance manufacturing platform for applications including AI datacenters, electric vehicles, humanoid robots and industrial systems. The partnership also supports the broader transition toward more reliable, power-dense chip architectures, with BCD-on-SOI enabling advanced integration for high-efficiency power distribution, battery management systems and other next-generation applications.
