(Central News Agency reporter Zeng Renkai, Taipei, 7th) WPG Holdings, a major electronic component distributor, today announced its first-quarter financial report. Revenue reached NT$494.3 billion, a quarter-on-quarter increase of approximately 44% and a year-on-year doubling. Net profit attributable to the parent company was NT$7.01 billion, a quarter-on-quarter increase of approximately 67% and a year-on-year increase of 159%, surpassing the upper end of the financial forecast of NT$6.49 billion. This set a new historical high for single-quarter profit, with earnings per share reaching NT$5.32.
WPG Holdings also released its second-quarter financial forecast today. Based on an exchange rate assumption of 1 US dollar to 31.6 New Taiwan dollars, the estimated median revenue for Q2 is approximately NT$575 billion, a quarter-on-quarter increase of approximately 16% and a year-on-year increase of approximately 122%. The estimated median net profit attributable to the parent company is approximately NT$8.1 billion, a quarter-on-quarter increase of approximately 16% and a year-on-year increase of approximately 186%. The estimated median earnings per share is approximately NT$6.41.
WPG Holdings held an online investor conference today. The company stated that both consolidated revenue and net profit after tax for Q1 exceeded the upper end of the financial forecast, mainly benefiting from the significant growth in demand for data center and communication products driven by AI, as well as the steady recovery of industrial and other non-AI applications.
Looking ahead, WPG Holdings believes that the uncertainty in the overall economic environment is slowing down. In terms of semiconductor demand, major cloud service providers (CSPs) continue to revise up their capital expenditures. The company is optimistic that AI-related demand will continue, and in the medium to long term, AI technology will further penetrate various aspects, driving demand growth for other applications.
As for the non-AI sectors, WPG Holdings believes that market inventories have mostly returned to healthy, lower levels. Relevant indicators for demand in European and American markets, and industrial and automotive sectors, such as the B/B Ratio (book-to-bill ratio), also show a steady and continuous recovery.
