Driven by the technological transition to advanced nodes required by #ArtificialIntelligence, the #electronics market continued to stepwise recover in Q2 2024. We delivered strong organic sales growth in Q2 2024 fueled by the inflection in logic chips. Semiconductor Solutions, accounting for 69 % of our sales, grew by 11.4% organically, mainly driven by Semiconductor Materials. Display Solutions (20% share in sales) declined 2.4% organically. Volume growth in LC and OLED was offset by price erosion for liquid crystals due to continued competitive pressure. Surface Solutions?(11% share in sales) registered a plus of 4.1% in sales (organic), due to growth across most business lines in Asia-Pacific as well as in Latin America and North America. We increased our sales guidance for 2024 to 4-8% growth, based on our strong performance in H1 2024 and positive market signals for the second half of the year, namely chip inventories continuing to go down, chip prices improving and customers preparing to increase fab utilization.
