(Central News Agency reporter Wu Chia-hao, Taipei, 4th) Industrial PC manufacturer Adlink today announced its Q1 financial report. Driven by increased defense and military projects and growing demand for edge artificial intelligence (AI) computing, consolidated revenue reached NT$947 million, a year-on-year increase of 18.2%, setting a new record for the same period in history. However, rising component costs affected gross profit margin, with net profit attributable to the parent company being approximately NT$145 million, a year-on-year decrease of 2.1%, and earnings per share of NT$1.8.
Adlink issued a press release stating that to reflect the increase in memory costs, it has negotiated prices with customers and aims to maintain gross profit margins through cost transfer and strategic procurement.
Adlink stated that application demands including defense and military, smart manufacturing, smart healthcare, logistics, and smart cities continue to rise. Coupled with flexible global supply chain deployment and strengthened global localized market competitiveness, Q2 operations are expected to reach a new quarterly high, and overall operations for 2026 are projected to maintain double-digit growth.
Adlink stated that it continues to strengthen its presence in the US and accelerate its expansion and integration in Europe. It expects to integrate rugged tablets, rugged ground control stations (GCS), rugged handheld devices, rugged computers, and rugged laptops with edge AI chip computing power and graphics processing units (GPU), continuing to focus on rapidly growing industries such as healthcare and defense.
