"After a record year in 2023, we have started 2024 with a stable quarter, improving EBITDA approx. 35% YoY," said Anders Storm, Group CEO of Sivers Semiconductors. "This temporary slowdown in growth is expected, as we gather strength for continued expansion in the second half of 2024 and beyond. The four new important deals we won during the quarter, totalling approximately SEK 100 million, are a testament to our strong pipeline and future growth potential."

Sivers Semiconductors continues to make significant strides in the SATCOM, 5G, and AI Photonics sectors.
