Fiscal Year 2025
-
Record Q4 revenue and gross profit were driven by strong enterprise and embedded growth, with enterprise SSDs set to become the largest revenue contributor. Tight NAND/DRAM supply and rising prices are managed through LTAs and high inventory, supported by increased R&D and new financing.
-
Q3 set new records for revenue and gross margin, driven by strong demand and price increases across SSD, mobile, and enterprise segments. Outlook remains bullish with continued supply constraints, rising R&D, and major design wins in AI and automotive.
-
Q2 revenue hit a record NT$70.8B, with strong growth in embedded ODM, PC OEM, and mobile modules, despite FX headwinds. Gross margin reached 29% and operating margin 13%, with robust demand and inventory build-up positioning for continued growth amid supply constraints.
-
Q1 saw strong revenue and margin growth, driven by robust controller and module demand, especially in PCIe Gen4/Gen5, mobile, and automotive segments. Inventory was strategically increased at low prices, supporting profitability, while management expects higher revenue in Q2 and a strong second half despite currency and geopolitical risks.
Fiscal Year 2024
