(Central News Agency, Taipei, April 15, reporter Jiang Mingyan) Yih Jia stated that its Q1 revenue hit a new high for the same period. Due to rising raw material costs, increased short-term operating costs at its new Malaysian plant, and the appreciation of the RMB, Q1 profit was under pressure. However, optical communication and overseas layout continue to advance, and the benefits of the new Malaysian plant are expected to gradually emerge in the second half of the year, with clear medium-to-long-term growth momentum.
Yih Jia Technology today announced its Q1 financial report. Consolidated revenue was approximately NT$2.81 billion, a 15% year-on-year increase. Consolidated gross profit margin was 13%, operating net profit was NT$0.08 billion, net profit after tax was NT$0.02 billion, and earnings per share were NT$0.07.
Yih Jia pointed out that Q1 revenue, driven by strong customer demand, saw a 15% year-on-year increase in consolidated revenue for the quarter, setting a new high for the same period as Yih Jia's transformation strategy gradually took effect. However, due to rising raw material costs and increased short-term operating costs at the new Malaysian plant, the Q1 gross profit margin decreased compared to the same period last year, affecting Q1 operating net profit, which decreased by approximately 57% year-on-year. In addition, the appreciation of the RMB resulted in exchange losses, leading to a decline in net profit after tax for the quarter.
Looking ahead, Yih Jia Technology stated that to cope with the global supply chain restructuring, it has invested heavily in building production bases in Malaysia in recent years. This has caused cash flow pressure and increased short-term operating costs, but it is an important overseas layout for the Yih Jia Group to expand its operational scale and seize new technology application markets in the future.
Yih Jia is optimistic that with the expansion of its new Malaysian plant in optical communication and automotive new technology application fields, as long as the new plant's development in optical communication and automotive products goes smoothly, its operational performance will be more resilient and have greater growth potential.
Yih Jia stated that it focuses on technology applications and product layout in smart cockpits, optical communication, wearables, robotics, and drones, continuing to transform into a module solution provider, offering customers one-stop integrated services.
Yih Jia pointed out that the investment in the new Malaysian plant mainly focuses on the production and manufacturing of optical communication-related PCBA and PCB, serving as an important production base for high-end optical communication, high-speed transmission, and high-value-added products. Although fixed costs and operating expenses are reflected in the initial stages of the new plant's introduction and ramp-up, this investment will help strengthen Yih Jia's global supply capabilities, optimize its product portfolio, and enhance market competitiveness. The benefits of the new Malaysian plant are expected to gradually emerge in the second half of the year, and the net profit margin will further improve, with full-year profit showing a year-on-year growth trend.
