(Central News Agency reporter Zhong Rongfeng, Taipei, 4th) Semiconductor wafer testing firm Ardentec today predicted that this year's revenue and profit will grow quarter by quarter, estimating that Q2 performance could increase by a mid to high single-digit percentage quarter-on-quarter, continuously benefiting from strong demand for artificial intelligence (AI) applications and overflow orders from communication clients, driving revenue performance.
Ardentec held an online investor conference this afternoon. Regarding the layout for AI application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) wafer testing at its Longtan plant, Ardentec pointed out that it has agreed on cooperation with strategic clients, starting with a 1-floor cleanroom cooperation project, with revenue contribution expected to begin as early as Q3. Future plans include more cooperation opportunities with strategic clients. In addition, the Hukou plant also has other client ASIC cooperation projects, covering wafer testing and finished product testing.
Looking ahead to this year's capital expenditure, Ardentec stated that it is dynamically planning capital expenditure items in response to 2027 growth trends and the long lead times for equipment in the market. As for the plan for Singapore Plant 2, Ardentec stated that discussions with US clients are ongoing.
Ardentec's Q1 consolidated revenue was NT$3.983 billion, a quarterly increase of 4.9% and an annual increase of 24%. Q1 gross margin was 38.4%, a quarterly increase of 0.6 percentage points and an annual increase of 3.3 percentage points; operating profit margin was 27.5%, a quarterly increase of 0.9 percentage points and an annual increase of 3.3 percentage points. Q1 net profit after tax was NT$924 million, a quarterly increase of 8.9% and an annual increase of 53.7%. Q1 earnings per share (EPS) was NT$1.95.
From the perspective of tested products and applications, according to data, wafer testing accounted for approximately 70% of Ardentec's overall performance in Q1, and finished product testing accounted for approximately 30%. Among these, communication and networking applications accounted for about 32.5%, automotive and security applications accounted for about 19.3%, RF components accounted for about 12.8%, storage accounted for about 11.6%, personal computers and consumer electronics accounted for about 10.1%, microcontrollers accounted for about 7.4%, and memory accounted for about 5.1%.
