Taipei, May 8 (CNA) Laptop manufacturer Clevo today announced its Q1 2026 financial results, with net profit attributable to the parent company reaching NT$351 million, a 25% increase quarter-on-quarter and a 40% increase year-on-year, with earnings per share of NT$0.61. The company aims for continued quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year growth in Q2.
Clevo's laptop business saw steady sales growth in Q1 this year, with shipments reaching 287,000 units, a 10% increase year-on-year; laptop revenue was NT$4.18 billion, a 24% increase year-on-year. Clevo stated that in Q2, it will closely monitor the development of key component supply and demand, strategically plan its supply chain in advance, grasp customer replacement demands, and strengthen product competitiveness to drive subsequent shipment momentum.
Clevo pointed out that in Q1, the global laptop market was affected by the continuous rise in key component costs, and the market faced upward price pressure, leading to a slowdown in overall demand. At the same time, memory and related component prices remained high, eroding existing product profits.
Clevo adopted a flexible sales strategy to absorb the pressure of rising costs, maintain customer cooperation, and ensure sales momentum; the wave of replacement demand in the Japanese and European markets driven by the end of Windows 10 operating system support also contributed to Q1 sales growth.
Looking ahead to Q2, Clevo stated that the global laptop market continues to face factors such as memory shortages, CPU price increases, and rising metal raw material costs. Major brand manufacturers have comprehensively raised selling prices, with increases expected to be as high as 20% or more; despite the market facing comprehensive price adjustments, Clevo had previously completed strategic stockpiling of key components.
In terms of its channel business, Clevo's Buynow saw rental income of RMB 170 million (approximately NT$783 million) in Q1 this year, maintaining overall stable performance. It will continue to optimize content marketing and AI retail strategic layouts.
Clevo's 30% invested Chicony Plaza department store still faces challenges in the overall retail market conditions in China this year. Profit and cash flow remain stable, and the company will continue to strive to increase revenue and reduce expenditure to contribute to group profits. (Editor: Huang Kuo-lun) 1150508
