Himax Q3 2025: $199.2M revenue beats guide as 0.6¢ EPS tops loss outlook

Himax Technologies reported third quarter 2025 net revenues of $199.2 million, a 7.3% sequential decline that significantly outperformed guidance for a 12%–17% drop, driven by better-than-expected automotive IC and Tcon sales. Gross margin was 30.2%, in line with guidance, and after-tax profit was $1.1 million, or 0.6 cents per diluted ADS, well above the guided loss of 2.0–4.0 cents. Automotive business remained over 50% of revenue with single-digit quarter-over-quarter growth in automotive drivers. Operating expenses rose 24.2% sequentially to $60.7 million, primarily on $8.1 million of annual bonus expense. The company ended the quarter with $278.2 million in cash and equivalents after paying a $64.5 million dividend and $13.1 million in employee bonuses. Q4 guidance calls for flat quarter-over-quarter revenue, gross margin flat to slightly up, and profit per diluted ADS of 2.0–4.0 cents.

Forward guidance

For Q4 2025, Himax expects revenue flat quarter over quarter, gross margin flat to slightly up, and profit per diluted ADS of 2.0–4.0 cents amid limited automotive demand visibility.

Tailwinds

  • Automotive TDDI and Tcon design wins support multi-year growth despite near-term conservatism.
  • WiseEye AI, CPO, and smart glasses initiatives are emerging growth drivers.

Headwinds

  • Automotive demand visibility remains low with customers maintaining lean inventories.
  • Large panel and smartphone/tablet segments face sequential declines from pull-forward buying.
