(Central News Agency reporter Tseng Jen-kai, Taipei, 7th) Chung-Hwa today announced its first-quarter financial report, with revenue of NT$18.54 billion, a 7.2% increase quarter-on-quarter and a 17.6% increase year-on-year. Net profit attributable to the parent company was NT$1.32 billion, an increase of over 40% year-on-year, and earnings per share reached a record high of NT$6.86.
Chung-Hwa, an integrated service provider for semiconductor and optoelectronic key materials, stated today that although the first quarter is traditionally a slow season, coupled with fewer working days due to the Lunar New Year, Q1 revenue maintained "double growth year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter," and profit growth outpaced revenue growth due to optimized product structure.
Chung-Hwa analyzed that the strong demand for advanced semiconductor processes drove robust demand for key materials such as photoresists, photomask substrates, and silicon wafers. In addition, Chung-Hwa's domestic and international environmental engineering businesses entered a peak period of revenue recognition, boosting Q1 operations.
Looking ahead, Chung-Hwa stated that with the development of AI and HPC (High-Performance Computing) applications, the capacity of wafer foundry high-end processes and advanced packaging supply chains continues to expand, which will provide long-term and stable growth momentum for the semiconductor materials market. Chung-Hwa has a complete layout in the supply chains of Taiwan, the United States, Japan, and Southeast Asia, and is optimistic that its overall operations in 2026 are expected to reach a new high, surpassing last year's high base.
