Central News Agency (Central News Agency Reporter Zeng Renkai Taipei, April 20) SDS announced its first-quarter financial report today. Revenue was NT$1.138 billion, an 11% decrease year-on-year; operating profit was NT$59.32 million, a 15% decrease. However, net profit attributable to the parent company was NT$42.41 million, a 16% increase from the same period last year, with earnings per share of NT$0.7.

SDS explained that the year-on-year decline in Q1 revenue and operating profit was mainly due to a high base from last year and fluctuations in market conditions and exchange rates. However, the recognition of financial asset valuation gains boosted net profit by 16% year-on-year.

Wei Mao-fa, spokesperson for the SDS Group, stated that SDS's cloud services business achieved steady profit growth in the first quarter, with enterprise user services also growing quarter-on-quarter. The cloud services business, led by subsidiary Xinqi Cloud, achieved record high revenue and profit driven by the AI wave.

Looking ahead, SDS indicated that in the face of volatile international political and economic situations and market conditions, it will focus on high-value-added businesses and strengthen resilience. In the smart manufacturing field, SDS is focusing on 3D additive manufacturing for applications like drones, integrating design, manufacturing, and international resources to provide comprehensive services from design optimization, prototyping, and verification to mass production delivery, gradually expanding business contributions.

Furthermore, Wei Mao-fa stated that SDS will seize opportunities in equipment upgrades and industry transformation in digital printing services, continuing to deepen customer service and solution capabilities. In cloud services, it will extend the growth momentum brought by AI cloud applications and services, and steadily advance long-term development through investment and strategic mergers and acquisitions.
