Phononics' Q1 Profit Reaches Record High for Same Period, Order Backlog at NT$12.7 Billion

Central News Agency (CNA) reporter Chang Chien-chung, Hsinchu, 7th May – Phononics, a semiconductor and panel process supply system manufacturer, reported a net profit attributable to the parent company of NT$299 million in the first quarter, setting a new record high for the same period, with earnings per share of NT$3.84. According to Phononics' statistics, the value of its order backlog reached NT$12.7 billion, also a historical high.

Phononics' Q1 revenue was NT$2.342 billion, an 8.95% year-on-year increase. Net profit attributable to the parent company was NT$299 million, a 28.81% year-on-year increase, with earnings per share of NT$3.84.

Phononics stated that robust order recognition from semiconductor and memory clients, coupled with optimized order structure and effective cost control, drove both Q1 revenue and profit to new record highs for the same period.

Phononics pointed out that strong demand for artificial intelligence (AI) chips has prompted international semiconductor and memory manufacturers to expand capital expenditure, investing in new plants and capacity expansion plans. This has led to active order recognition and demand for high-purity chemical supply and dispensing system equipment.

Phononics stated that its business order momentum is strong, having successively secured large-scale project orders. As of the first quarter, the cumulative value of its order backlog reached NT$12.7 billion, an 81% year-on-year increase, setting a new historical high. As large-scale projects are successively installed and recognized as revenue, this will boost the overall operational performance. (Edited by Pan Yi-ching) 1150507
