(16 August 2013 – Hong Kong) – AAC Technologies Holdings Inc. (“AAC Technologies” or “the Company;” HKEx: 02018), a world-leading miniature technologies components solution provider, today announced its unaudited results for the first six months ended 30 June 2013 (“the period”).
On a year-on-year basis, the Company recorded a commendable
48% growth in
first-half revenue to RMB3,831 million, mainly attributable to higher average selling prices of products and increased contribution from tablet sales. Although higher labour cost and transition of customer product models caused a slight 0.7 point drop in gross profit margin, net profit margin rose
0.3 percentage point to
28.1%, supported by implementation of cost control measures and the benefits of
higher operating leverage.
The Board has declared an interim dividend of HK25.0 cents per share, a 25% growth to the previous year.
On a quarter-on-quarter basis, revenue of second quarter increased
to RMB1,926 million
or 1% sequentially. Increasing sales penetration into a broader portfolio of major handset customers has enabled revenue to remain stable despite slow mobile consumer electronics segment market sentiments amid macro-economic headwinds. Gross profit margin improved 0.1 percentage point to 42.8%.
The Company has succeeded in further enhancing its market share in tablets by winning new projects. In addition,
the Company’s development in non-acoustic segments such as radio frequency and optical
solutions has received positive feedbacks from customers. The Company will continue to pursue innovative solutions to anticipate the demand for next generation projects.
Mr. Benjamin Pan, Chief Executive Officer of AAC Technologies, said, “Our strong R&D foundation positions us well to maintain our profitability. Our solid track record, broad customer coverage and
production know-how will enable us to capture the growing potential in non-acoustic segments, and we are confident that the Company can deliver further growth and widen leadership in the smart-devices solutions market.”
