WinWay explained that the explosion of AI applications and demand has driven the simultaneous increase in shipments of high-end product lines such as high-frequency and high-speed, pushing first-quarter revenue and profit to historical highs.

WinWay stated that it continues to seize the strong demand in the AI chip industry, providing corresponding solutions to AI customers from final test (FT) to system-level test (SLT and SFT), and actively deploying high-speed functional burn-in (Functional BI).

Regarding production capacity layout, WinWay pointed out that it is accelerating its factory expansion plan. Its leased factory in Kaohsiung's Renwu Industrial Park is accelerating expansion into ramp-up phase. After commencing operations in early April, the company continues to purchase new machinery and move in equipment (tool-in). As of now, the new capacity has reached 30% of total capacity, and it is estimated that the new capacity will reach 40% of total capacity in the first half of the year.

Looking ahead to Q2 and this year's operations, WinWay previously stated that with continuously increasing orders and new capacity coming online, revenue is expected to grow quarter by quarter. (Edited by Lin Chia-hsien) 1150504
