Hello, welcome to the Soitec full year 2021 Q4 call. My name is Josh, and I will be your coordinator for today's event. Please note that this conference is being recorded, and for the duration of the call, your lines will be on listen only. However, you will have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the call. This can be done by pressing star one on your telephone keypad to register your question. If you require assistance at any point, please press star zero and you will be connected to an operator. I will now hand you over to your host, Paul Boudre, to begin today's conference. Thank you.
Thank you operator, welcome to Soitec conference call dedicated to the publications of the fourth quarter sales of our Fiscal Year 2021. This is the quarter covering the period from the 1st of January to the end of March 2021. I am Paul Boudre, Soitec CEO. Together with me on this call are Léa Alzingre, our CFO, and Steve Babureck, our Investor Relations Officer. Before going into the quarterly figures, let's start with a few general and macro comments. First of all, as the world has been in this COVID situation for a little over a year now, I hope everyone on this line is safe. At Soitec, as we reported in the last few quarters, our organization has well adapted to these long-lasting situations, to this what we call new normal.
To that extent, as we closed our Fiscal Year 2021 several weeks ago, I am very, very pleased with what my management team and all Soitec employees have delivered over the last 12 months. Beyond the resilience and professionalism, Soitec has proved to be a very reliable partner to all its stakeholders, especially with its strategy customers and suppliers. Regarding our strategy and markets, as we are beginning a new fiscal year, we can also confirm that all stars seem to be aligned. As you have seen, our semiconductor industry is going through the biggest inflection of our lifetime, supported by very strong mega trends, 5G, AI, edge AI, and energy efficiency. Indeed, for Soitec, as expected, we are benefiting from a recovery in our end markets, smartphones and automotive, as well as a continuous adoption of our products in IoT, edge AI, and data centers.
In smartphones, specifically, we are still expecting a high single-digit growth in volume in 2021 for the whole market, and above 500 million units of 5G smartphones. In addition, semiconductor content growth is increasing in all our end markets, which support a solid footprint expansion in square millimeters for our products. We continue to expand into new products or applications, specifically on the RF side with POI for filters, GaN for base stations, and FD-SOI is getting a good traction in edge computing. On the operating side, we continue to ramp our capacity and our head count to deliver a strong multiyear growth plan. Last but not least, we have also secured our ramp through long-term agreements with our silicon wafer suppliers and our fab equipment providers.
Overall, what we guided to you last June for Fiscal Y ear 2021 is what we can repeat today, flat revenue growth and an EBITDA margin around 30%. Regarding Fiscal Year 2022, we continue to expect revenue above $900 million, thus an organic growth at least 35%. Let's discuss our full year revenue for Fiscal Year 2021. We are pleased to report that we achieved 1% growth in revenue at constant exchange rates, it is in line with our guidance provided last June. This particularly demonstrate the intimacy built with our customers and ecosystem, as well as the agility and efficiency of our operating model. This also shows to which extent the demand for Soitec wafers remains driven by the increasing footprint of our products, especially for RF-SOI in the context of 5G.
Also by the adoptions of our semiconductor materials like POI, Imager-SOI, and FD-SOI, which had a strong finish in Q4. Overall, we achieved sales of EUR 584 million in Fiscal Year 2021. We had a 3% negative currency impact due to the weakness of the U.S. dollars. This means that our Fiscal Year 2021 sales are down 2% on a reported basis. You may also remember that at the beginning of the Fiscal Year 2021, we told you that Q1 was expected to be our lowest quarter, and that we would enjoy quarter-over-quarter sequential growth. Well, this is exactly what happened. Okay, we have been back to sequential organic growth from one quarter to another quarter since Q2 2021. That to the opposite of Fiscal Year 2020, when we had a particularly strong Q4, we achieved this year much more balanced revenue from one quarter to another.
Let's now move to our Q4 2021 sales performance. We achieved sales of EUR 181 million in Q4 2021. This is our second highest quarter ever. It represents a 23% growth excluding currency impact over Q3 2021. Compared to the record level of Q4 2020, it represents a 6% organic decrease. Including a 5% negative currency impact, sales were down 11% on a reported basis from Q4 2020. If we now dive deeper in our Q4 figures and look at sales by revenue type. Starting with 150 mm, 200 mm. Compared to Q4 last year, 150 mm, 200 mm sales decreased by 14%, excluding current currency effects. This is essentially due to a volume effect, and we also add slightly less favorable product mix. However, compared to Q3 2021, we had a sequential growth of 16% at constant exchange rates.
Sales of RF-SOI 200 mm were lower than the record sales that we had in Q4 2020, but slightly up compared to Q3 2021, as they continue to be driven by the increase in RF-SOI content in every new smartphones 4G and even more in 5G. Sales of Power-SOI were slightly up compared to Q4 2020, meaning that they achieved a strong recovery after the low level recorded throughout the year, due to the decline of the automotive market in the context of the COVID crisis. In addition, we had a strong surge in 150 mm POI wafers for RF filters, as we have been able to respond to the increasing demand. This is thanks to the ongoing capacity increase at our Bernin 3 facilities and the good ramp-up in manufacturing productions.
As a reminder, demand for POI is driven by the need for 4G and 5G smartphones to cope with an increased number of frequency bands. This translates into a higher number of filters and the requirements for enhanced performance. If we now look at our 300 mm business, compared to Q4 2020, which was a very high comparison basis, 300 mm sales decreased by only 3%, excluding currency effects. This represent a 25% growth compared to Q3 2021. We maintain a high level of RF-SOI 300 mm sales, like in 200 mm tractions for more RF-SOI content comes from the need for more switches, more antenna tuners, and more low noise amplifiers in 4G and increasingly in 5G smartphones. We achieved a strong quarter in FD-SOI. Sales were higher than in Q4 2020 and significantly higher than in Q3 2021.
This confirms the rebound that we started to experience in Q3. Fabless company continued to strengthen their FD-SOI based offering for applications dedicated to edge computing, automotive, and 5G. Regarding Imager-SOI for 3D sensing applications and Photonics-SOI for data center sales were lower than in Q4 last year, but have increased from one quarter to another through the year. Finally, our other revenues went up from EUR 8.3 million in Q4 2020 to EUR 11.7 million in Q4 2021. This is essentially due to a strong quarter achieved by Dolphin Design. Let me now give you a quick update on the main announcement which took place during the quarter regarding further adoptions of our FD-SOI technology. First, I would like to mention Bosch. Bosch is partnering with GlobalFoundries to develop and manufacture its next generations of automotive radar technology. Second, NXP.
NXP continues to expand its product range built on 28 nm FD-SOI technology with two new ultra low power crossover products. This is really targeting secure cloud and connectivity. To conclude these opening remarks, I would like to reconfirm our outlook for both the Fiscal Year 2021 and the Fiscal Year 2022. First, we confirm that our EBITDA margin will reach around 30% in Fiscal Year 2021. Second, we continue to expect our Fiscal Year 2022 sales to reach above $900 million, which represent an organic growth of at least 35%. This ends our opening remarks, and we are now ready to take your questions. Operator, if you want to take over.
Thank you very much. If you would like to ask a question or make a contribution on today's call, please press star one on your telephone keypad now, please. Please ensure your line is unmuted locally, then I will introduce you into the call. That is star one on your telephone keypad now, please. We do have a couple of questions in the queue already, our first question comes to the line of Alexander Peterc from Société Générale . Alexander, please go ahead. Your line is now unmuted.
Yes, good morning. Thank you for taking my question. I just have a few. The first one is just general. In the sector, we've seen most companies beating substantially net guidances and have raised a lot of their outlooks over the past two quarters. If you could just generally explain why, at Soitec, you were bang in line and basically there was no change to your current year outlook. Why are you not following the general move of upgrades that we see across the sector? Then I have two specific questions. One is, if you could give us an update on silicon carbide, how's that progressing? The second one is, if you could explain why photonics was actually down year -on -year against the strong backdrop for 5G and cloud infra, that should have driven it higher. I'd just like to understand that. Thanks a lot.
Yes. Thank you, Alexander. In fact, we have been very early in our fiscal year, giving you the guidance for what we will be doing. We did that in the middle of a very complex situations, in the pandemic situation. Really, what we are really proud of is that we have been able to deliver exactly what we said at the beginning of the fiscal year. That is really staying flat in revenue. That was, at the time already, a strong challenge. Now, what is also interesting to look at is that our fiscal year and calendar years, like many other companies are reporting, are slightly different in terms of sometimes the trend. Don't forget that we had a very strong Q4 Fiscal Year 2020 .
If you were look back to a kind of calendar year type of story, it will be, again, a different pictures, but w e are reporting on our fiscal year. I will say that, again, the trend that we have seen since Q2 is exactly what we were expecting. Quarter -after -quarter, we are now back to significant growth, because again, I repeat our Q4 Fiscal Year 2021 is the second-ever quarter in terms of revenues. We are seeing exactly what our partners and customers and what the industry today is reporting. We are seeing these accelerations, and this is exactly at the time we were expecting. Back to the second questions on silicon carbide. I mean, this is clearly a strong market pull to today. We continue to see a lot of interest in this technology.
The JDA and the progress with Applied Materials is working as planned. The team have done a great job, and we are delivering exactly as we said, the prototypes to leading automotive chip makers as we speak. Don't forget that we do not plan for target revenues for the next two to three years. That's still part of the plan. We are basically on plan for what we were expecting to do and deliver during the last 12 months. Incredible job made by all teams because it was not so easy to travel, as you can imagine. We were forced to travel wafers when we were not able to travel people. Again, we are pleased with where we stand right now, and we are in the process to evaluate now the samples with our partners. Last questions was about photonics. Yes.
Why did it go down? Photonics-SOI remains the solution of choice for new generations of data centers. Okay. What is true is that it's very sporadic from one quarter to the next. This Q4 was a strong sequential increase. That's what we see. We have seen also across the ecosystem, a better usage of the material itself, which means that the overall yield in the supply chain has increased, which is good because it will accelerate in the future, the adoptions of this technology.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you very much. Our next question comes from the line of Emmanuel Matot from ODDO BHF. Emmanuel, please go ahead. Your line is now unmuted.
Hello. Nice to speak to you. Hope everything all right. Paul, just to confirm, are you exposed to any risk of shortage from your key suppliers in terms of silicon or equipment? It seems not, but please can we check that at that point, please? Second, you are guiding for at least 35% organic growth in Fiscal Year 2022. Do you expect these growths to be quite regular per quarter, or there will be some volatilities? Does this guidance also include some price increase because the environment is booming, so maybe you are planning to put in place some price increase for your products. I have also a question about your CapEx budget for Fiscal Year 2022. Can you give us some color about it? Do you plan to increase it compared to Fiscal Year 2021?
My last question, have you seen some changes in your top five customers last year? Do they still represent more than 60% of your sales, or do you have more diversification? Thank you.
Okay. Thank you, Emmanuel, for these good questions because yes, the overall industry is getting exposed to a more aggressive ramp, as we discussed previously. The very good news for Soitec is that we have seen it coming, and we have been able to really protect ourselves with a long-term agreement with all our silicon suppliers, but also with our equipment suppliers. We have also now agreements, and we are giving them visibility not only on Fiscal Year 2022, but we are also giving them visibility on what is coming next. We do have a very solid supply plan, and I do not expect anything wrong on this side. It's not going to be in any way a limiting factor. We talked about this target for next year, about $900 million. Clearly, we want to give you all the details in June.
What is very important, as I said, for this call is that we have seen, starting Q2, quarter -after -quarter, a very positive trend. This is something that we like because we can plan further, and we can anticipate better. What we see now in the seasonality coming, we continue to see a much better alignment again in the growth. We will continue to see accelerations in H1. That will be a very positive sign also because it has been, over the last two years, a kind of end-of-the-year type of growth. This is not going to be the case this time. We see a much more balance. Again, we will give you much more details in June. Same for CapEx. We will comment, not today, but we will comment in June.
This is very good that you ask these questions because we have been able to plan for the future. As I said during my comment today, it's a multi-year growth that we are planning for. Within the top five customers, we have a few leading foundries which are serving the whole industry across multiple market segments and geographies. This is, for us, a big sign of our diversifications because you know that these foundries are serving multiples customers. We see, in terms of the overall pipeline of end customers, we see it growing in a significant way. Again, the manufacturing platform that we are using are clearly the top manufacturer that you can find today in the world. We are very pleased with the trend also on this.
Could you also comment a little bit about your pricing policy in the current environment?
Yeah.
Do you plan to change anything because the demand seems so booming in the semiconductor industry? Maybe you can try to pass some price increase?
You're correct. I told you that we are planning with our customers. Every customer that are under LTAs today, basically we are in line with contract, and we will fulfill both contracts in terms of volumes and pricing. We are facing a lot of new demand on top of LTAs. In this case, we are also increasing pricing.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Thank you. Just as a reminder, if you would like to ask a question, it is star one on your telephone keypads. Our next question comes from the line of Varun from JP Morgan. Varun, please go ahead. Your line is now unmuted.
Hi. Good morning. Thanks for letting me on. I have a couple of questions. First question on demand visibility and capacity planning. Paul, can you comment on how much of your FY 2022 sales is underpinned by your current order book? As a related question on capacity planning, as I understand, your Bernin 1 and Bernin 2 fabs are running at full capacity. Also, your outsourcing partner in China, Simgui, will also approach full capacity at some point in early 2022, Fiscal Year 2022. Essentially, the flex in terms of capacity will come from Singapore and the ongoing POI ramp at Bernin 3. Can you update us on your capacity status at Bernin 3 and Singapore? The second question is on the mmW ave opportunity.
We've heard some speculation in the press that Tier 1 smartphone OEMs are planning to roll out more mmW ave-based smartphone models, not just for the U.S. market, but for other regions as well. I just wanted to understand if there is any ongoing discussion at your end, and what is the market outlook, and are you still on track to roll out SOI-based platforms for millimeter-based smartphones? Thank you.
Thank you for this question. Let me start with the first one, which is how much of our Fiscal Year 2022 sales is already booked. Clearly, I'm not going to share the exact numbers, but it's a very, very high numbers. Clearly, in the current situations, every customer is really trying to secure their supply. You can imagine that. We are extremely confident on what is happening for this fiscal year. To be very clear, we have started to look at even Fiscal Year 2023. This is the type of situations we are in, which is a good situation in terms of how do we plan for growth. In terms of capacity, you said it right.
I think the growth will come in 200 mm from our partner in Simgui, in 300 mm Singapore, and in Bernin, it's going to be on the POI. We have, on these three sites, a very aggressive ramp that we will share with you guys in June. That is something that we'll be happy to share again in June. Regarding mmW ave trends, we continue to see mmW ave being a significant opportunity in the market towards the end of calendar year 2022 and specifically in calendar year 2023. We don't see a major change on this. We are working with all our key fabless partners to look at the opportunity to integrate our new platforms and new products into this second generations of mmW aves.
This is the trend that we continue to see, and we're happy with what we are getting right now in terms of traction for the next generations and solutions that we see for the mmW ave part. Don't forget that every mmW ave smartphones will contain sub-6 GHz phone with our RF front-end modules solutions, and this is basically also RF-SOI in this case. We are pleased with what we see coming in mmW ave. We have not seen an acceleration in terms of adoptions in other regions than U.S.A. Right now, t here is a lot of talk going on, and yes, we expect to see the end result for us end of calendar year 2022 and specifically in calendar year 2023.
Paul, maybe if I can just ask a clarification question on Imager-SOI. How big is this product line for Soitec today? What is your outlook on Imager-SOI sales over the next few years? Thanks.
Yeah. We say that already, but it's always good to remind everyone. Imager-SOI is around the mid-single digit in terms of the overall sales. We are extremely confident on what is happening. We have seen a significant growth year-over-year Fiscal Year 2020 versus Fiscal Year 2021. We continue to have a very strong visibility on what is going to happen this fiscal year.
Thanks, Paul.
Thank you very much. Our next question comes from the line of Jerome Ramel from Exane BNP Paribas. Jerome, please go ahead.
Thank you. Good morning. Good morning, Paul. Two questions. Could you help us to understand what was the revenue breakdown, roughly, for your fiscal 2021 between RF-SOI and the POI and FD-SOI, just to get a rough idea? Are we still in the ballpark of, let's say, 2/3 of your revenues or 70% in RF-SOI? Second question, could you update us on the potential FD-SOI ecosystem in China? Thank you.
Thank you, Jerome. Regarding the mix for this fiscal year, clearly, the RF-SOI is still the main driver. In the range of 60%, that's what we see for this past fiscal year. In terms of the FD-SOI was more in the range of 10%-15%, and the rest was covered by Power-SOI and POI and Photonics-SOI and all the other products. Clearly, this is the way we see it. In terms of the ecosystems in China, I think what is important is that it is moving ahead. We continue to see a lot of focus from the Chinese to build this ecosystem. Huali, as a foundry, has now 55 nm that they have acquired from Renesas available on the market. You may think of 55 nm, i t's not exactly what we expect for a technology like FD-SOI.
Believe it or not, this is first of all, a technology that they can manage, and they can grow. They are also building a roadmap, moving down to 22 nm, which is also very important because 22 nm is under qualifications. If you look at the range of products that they can really bring to the market from 55 nm going down to 40 nm and allowing 22 nm to be on the market within, I don't know how much time it will take. The trend, and that was the beginning of my comment, the trend is there. The trend is positive. The momentum is building, and we are very positive about this.
Thank you.
Our next question comes from the line of Sébastien from Kepler . Sébastien, please go ahead. Your line is now unmuted.
Hello, everyone, and thanks for taking the question. Coming back to FD-SOI specifically, the business was improving since third quarter of last year. How do you see the demand for FD-SOI building up into 2022? Have you seen a specific, I would say, pickup in demand in any of the market or the verticals targeted with FD-SOI, like edge computing or 5G? Additionally, on POI, could you please make an update on the ramp of the Qualcomm project and also the capacity expansion that you have on track? Also, have you made any progress on your discussions with the other RF players for POI? Thank you.
Yeah. Thank you for these three questions. Regarding the first one on FD-SOI and again, the trend. As you know, and we were reporting these situations with Bosch, for example, for radar. As you know, from these situations, from a product announcement to a significant impact on manufacturing, it's basically 18 months. Okay? The story I told you last year is exactly what is happening. We are seeing now a lot of new design wins in terms of in the applications that we were expecting to see. Obviously, the new radar for cars, part of this new, I will say, applications that is in the range of this edge computing type of sensing and capability, improving the overall capability of the systems. We see it exactly where we wanted to see it.
Edge computing is one, mmW ave, we are making good progress in the basically qualifications of the technology. We continue to see growth on FD-SOI, and we continue to see growth that we can plug over the next two to three years. This is not an overnight voila kind of change because, again, we have to integrate these new applications. We have to get into the qualification paths. We have to get the product into a manufacturing ramp. Stay with us on this, but the impact, you will continue to see it in fiscal year 2022, and you will continue to see it in fiscal 2023 and 2024. We are engaged for this long-term growth for these applications. The good news is that we continue to report new design wins.
The foundries that are really involved into this platform, very aggressive in terms of the opportunity they see. We are at the bottom of it, and we will continue to support it. One thing you may not see, and we will try to give you a little bit more color during June, is that like POI, I mean FD-SOI, there is many products now that are coming out of this so-called main technology. We have a main technology for FD-SOI. We have a main technology for POI. Now we are getting into specific product, and we are differentiating our products based on the applications. This is also the value that we bring in terms of differentiations.
We are really tuning our process and product to make sure that we deliver the best power performance at the end, which gives our customer unique differentiations at the end. This give me the opportunity to comment on POI. That's exactly the case. Now we have multiple products running for POIs, and Qualcomm is, as you know, the main drivers in terms of growth. The ramp is extremely aggressive, and we continue to see this coming in Fiscal Year 2022. We'll give you more color on this in June. Last but not least, Qualcomm is not the only one. We have basically now several customers in the qualification phase. We believe and we expect to see these customers being in manufacturing during the course of Fiscal Year 2022 second part.
Life is clearly moving very fast for POI, and we expect to see a significant improvement in Fiscal Year 2022.
Okay. One question, if I may. On 2022, you have already your bullish sales guidance. How do you see the margin evolving? Is there anything that we need to know in terms of positive drivers or some pressure anywhere in your business or your margins moving into 2022?
You know the headwinds and the tailwinds, right? Clearly, we will give you all the colors in June. You know that clearly, we are going to really benefit from leveraging our manufacturing ramp. There is something that we do not really comment is on the FX. We will show you the model that we are using and what we are doing. Again, please be patient and join us in June. If I said everything now, Lea is going to be very upset about me and you won't come in June. We want you in June.
Okay. Our next question comes from the line of Adithya Metuku from Bank of America. Please go ahead. Your line is now unmuted.
Thank you. Good morning, guys. Apologies, I joined the call a bit late. Just a couple of questions. Firstly, just on FD-SOI adoption. Intel obviously has previously used or designed SOI transistors. They're now going into foundry. I just wondered if you had any thoughts around what that could mean for FD-SOI adoption in the digital space. Secondly, just on mm Wave adoption. Compared to three months ago, I just wondered if you had any more color around which way your customers are going. Are they thinking about using more FD-SOI, or are they thinking about using more RF-SOI? Finally, any color you can provide on what's happening around GaN would be very helpful. Hopefully these questions haven't been asked previously. Sorry, I joined a bit late. Thank you.
Yeah. On the FD-SOI trend, clearly regarding Intel, I have no really comment on that. They just announced these new orientations. We are in contact with them. We will be talking to them. Hopefully, we have been always a very good supplier to Intel in other products like photonics, for example. We will continue to develop the relationship with this new model. Nothing really that I can add to that. Regarding the GaN, clearly this is an opportunity for growth. What we have done in the course of last year, we have basically made investments to bring capacity expansions in both 150 mm and 200 mm for RF and power applications. We needed to accelerate our 200 mm roadmap with our unique capabilities. This was a strong demand from our customers. This is done. We have now the capabilities and the capacity.
We are basically here as well in this, driving the opportunities for entering more GaN products into RF, and starting to look at the opportunity for power as well. Finally, maybe I forgot the last questions, and the last question is on?
Just the mmW ave adoption. I just wondered if you could give us some color on whether it's going towards FD-SOI or more towards RF-SOI around the incremental?
No change. I think that the historical companies that have been on the RF are basically continuing to develop their roadmap using RF-SOI. The newcomers are clearly entering with more integrations, more capabilities integrated in one chips, and FD-SOI will be the platform. We are exactly where we wanted to be, which means that we wanted to have the a la carte menu to really sustain and support the architectures that we are seeing coming to mmW ave. We are pleased with the feedback from our customers.
They like that and they continue, and we continue to evolve because, as I said, we are developing next generations of RF-SOI and also, I don't know if we will call it FD-SOI in the future because the platform, the product roadmap has evolved in terms of supporting the mmW aves, and it's a very interesting roadmap that we are building with our end customers as well.
Understood. Thank you.
Our final question in the queue at the moment is from Robert Sanders from Deutsche Bank. Robert, please go ahead. Your line is now unmuted.
Yeah. Hi. Good morning. Thanks for taking my question, squeezing me in. First question would just be around your customers. Are they becoming a bit of a constraint on your growth in the sense that they're doubling CapEx, but they have a massive backlog? Therefore, in things like RF-SOI, in a way, you are a little bit constrained by the willingness of your customers to spend CapEx and find equipment. Is that a consideration at the moment? It does seem like the RF demand is still there.
Yeah, Rob, clearly the entire supply chain is coming under stress, and everybody understands that. What is extremely good for us is that we are part of these new innovations that are kind of a priority for the foundry because it's a priority for the fabless guys, right? The end users. We talked about this during the call. Obviously, 5G is the platform that will be used for these new products that we are going to see not only in the automotive world, but in the way educations, the way smart cities, the way smart home, the way smart a lot of things right now, but health included. What we have seen so far is that all our products are really driven by a very high priority in the supply chain.
We are not facing capacity constraint towards in the supply chain. We don't know what we don't know. So far, which is so good. The fact that it's really driven by the new innovations for the end customers is the priority for us.
My last question would just be, in terms of this whole regionalization of semiconductors. In places like Europe and China, clearly it seems like those regions would like to build their own domestic capability in things like RF. I guess Europe had a bit of a step backwards when ST lost so much business with Huawei, EUR 500 million in infrastructure, EUR 500 million in smartphone in terms of building scale. What are you seeing post that? Are you still seeing a strong appetite from companies like ST and others to build capability in order to sort of, whatever you want to call it, security reasons? Is that something that you think could, for example, lead to more funding or other ways of getting money for you guys?
Clearly, Rob, the 5G opportunity is the platform that is going to drive for the next 10 years, a lot of new applications. Without naming any customers, I will say that all our customers have a deep interest in not only this platform, but the derivative products that will be supported by these platforms. We see it all over the place. For Europe, yes, there is a big focus in Europe. You know that part of the early stage of the funding for RF-SOI, it has been through European programs as well many years ago. Soitec will be very well positioned this year, also in the new IPCEI to really drive new innovations, new products, as you can see, because we have PIO, we have RF next generations, we have FD next generations. We have also silicon carbide in the pipeline.
We are on the front line to really get tremendous support from the state, but also from Europe.
Thank you.
We do have another question in the queue. It comes from the line of Jean-Philippe Galland from [audio distortion]. Jean-Philippe, please go ahead. Your line is now unmuted.
Good morning, Paul. I just have a question of what is your market share currently, globally and maybe by different segments? I suppose that some of the new products, you would be the only one to be able to manufacture them. On FD-SOI or RF-SOI, I'd like to understand a little bit the evolution of your market share and the evolution of your competitors.
Maybe we could debate on this maybe more during the CMD in June. High-level pictures, we continue to grow our capability and capacity in 200 mm with our partner in China, and w e will be expanding this dramatically again this year. We are the only one today expanding also at the speed that we are expanding our capacity in 300 mm SOI. Just taking into this, we continue to improve our overall market share as the demand continue to grow. On POI, if you look at the RF, the filter market, I don't know if we even exist. We are at the beginning, okay. The market is huge, and we are really getting into this market. We have no limit here to continue to grow, but our market share is very small.
Okay. Thank you.
Thank you.
We have no further questions in the queue at the moment.
Maybe then I would like to thank you all for your questions. I would like to remind you that the next date in our agenda will be the publications of our Fiscal Year 2021 results of the 9th of June, after market close. We will present these results as part of a Capital Markets Day that we will host on the next day. That is to say, on the 10th of June. Please mark your calendar and save the date. I would say that this ends our call for today. Thank you for your attention. Thank you for all the good questions, and stay safe. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much for joining today's call. You may now disconnect your handsets. Hosts, please stay on the line. Thank you.
