AI Summary
Q2 2025

Strategic Review: IQE expanded its strategic review to consider a possible sale of the whole company, with multiple early-stage expressions of interest received.

H1 Performance: Revenue and overall performance were below expectations, mainly due to continued softness in the wireless market and delays in US federal defense funding.

Outlook & Guidance: Full-year 2025 revenue is expected between GBP 90 million and GBP 100 million, with adjusted EBITDA guidance of GBP 5 million loss to GBP 2 million profit.

Cost Control: The company maintained tight cost controls, reduced headcount, and optimized assets to address underutilization and a high fixed cost base.

Market Trends: Continued weakness in the wireless and handset markets, though AI, data communications, and defense segments show longer-term growth potential.

Banking Support: HSBC granted a waiver on Q3 2025 EBITDA covenant testing, supporting near-term liquidity.
