Chang Wah Electromaterials Inc. (Chang Wah*, 8070) today held a Board meeting and approved the reviewed consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of 2026. Consolidated revenue for the quarter totaled NT$5,422 million, with a gross margin of 18%. Net profit attributable to owners of the Corporation reached NT$362 million, while earnings per share (EPS), calculated based on shares with a par value of NT$1, was NT$0.51.

First-quarter consolidated revenue reached NT$5,422 million, marking the highest quarterly level since the fourth quarter of 2022. Revenue increased 6% quarter-over-quarter and 20% year-over-year, mainly driven by sustained strong demand from networking, industrial control applications, and advanced packaging equipment. Gross profit for the quarter rose 8% sequentially and 18% from the same period last year. Supported by effective expense control, profit from operations showed even stronger growth momentum, increasing 17% quarter-over-quarter and 33% year-over-year.

Net profit attributable to owners of the Corporation in the first quarter totaled NT$362 million. Based on shares with a par value of NT$1, first-quarter EPS was NT$0.51, compared with a loss per share of NT$0.47 in the previous quarter and EPS of NT$0.47 in the same period last year. The significant improvement in profitability was mainly attributable to the absence of one-off adverse factors recognized in the previous quarter, including investment losses and goodwill impairment charges, allowing overall earnings performance to return to a normal level.

In addition, Chang Wah realized capital gains of approximately NT$79 million in the first quarter, which will serve as a source of funding for quarterly dividend distributions. As of the end of the first quarter, the Corporation also held approximately NT$7.3 billion in unrealized gains on equity investments, providing potential resources for future dividend distributions or investment opportunities.
