Trading Update
I am pleased to report that the Group's trading performance for the opening months of the financial year to 31 March 2022 has got off to a positive start, resulting in a healthy improvement over the corresponding period for the prior year.
Order intake has continued to be relatively strong, reflecting a combination of end-market recovery, new customer traction and general concerns over product availability due to ongoing semiconductor supply chain capacity constraints.
Activities to capture a share of new market application areas remains a priority focus and as we move through the year, we expect to see existing markets recovering back towards more normalised levels.
Subject to the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing geopolitical trade issues not having any further impact, the Board continues to expect a year of good progress for the Group.

About CML Microsystems PLC
CML develops mixed-signal, RF and microwave semiconductors for global communications markets. The Group utilises a combination of outsourced manufacturing and in-house testing with trading operations in the UK, Asia and USA. CML targets sub-segments within Communication markets with strong growth profiles and high barriers to entry. It has secured a diverse, blue chip customer base, including some of the world's leading commercial and industrial product manufacturers.
The spread of its customers and diversity of the product range largely protects the business from the cyclicality usually associated with the semiconductor industry. Growth in its end markets is being driven by factors such as the appetite for data to be transmitted faster and more securely, the upgrading of telecoms infrastructure around the world and the growing prevalence of private commercial wireless networks for voice and/or data communications linked to the industrial internet of things (IIoT).
The Group is cash-generative, has no debt and is dividend paying.
