AU Optronics Corp. today announced its consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of 2026 (Note 1). Total consolidated revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was NT$69.03 billion, a decrease of 1.6% from the fourth quarter of 2025 and a decrease of 4.3% compared to the first quarter of 2025.
Net loss attributable to owners of the parent company for the first quarter of 2026 was NT$1.14 billion, and basic loss per share (Note 2) was NT$0.15.
Summary of AU Optronics Corp.'s Consolidated Financial Statements for the First Quarter of 2026:
Revenue was NT$69.03 billion
Operating loss was NT$0.64 billion
Net loss attributable to parent company was NT$1.14 billion
Basic loss per share (Note 2) was NT$0.15
Gross margin was 11.9%
Operating loss margin was 0.9%
EBITDA (Note 3) profitability was 9.6%
Reviewing the first quarter, the company's overall revenue decreased by 1.6% QoQ. Among these, Display Technology's revenue saw a slight decrease of 3% QoQ due to consumer electronics being affected by memory shortages, coupled with customers' early pull-in of orders and rising panel prices, which offset some of the impact of the traditional off-season. Mobility Solutions' revenue decreased by 3% QoQ, mainly due to the automotive market entering its off-season in the first quarter. Vertical Solutions' revenue increased by 2% QoQ due to the recovery of demand for industrial and commercial panels. In terms of profitability, influenced by favorable factors such as exchange rates and rising panel prices, along with the company's continuous control of operating expenses, the core business operating condition improved. The net loss attributable to the parent company for this quarter was NT$1.14 billion. Inventory days were 56 days, and the net debt ratio was 32.1%, both maintained at relatively healthy levels.
Looking ahead to the second quarter, the momentum for customer pull-in in consumer electronics is expected to slow down. However, automotive and vertical solutions businesses are expected to maintain steady growth. The second half of the year presents an unpredictable market trend due to uncertainties such as war, energy, and inflation. The company will view the industry outlook cautiously and closely monitor market conditions, adjusting dynamically to meet customer needs.
