Operational Overview: Foxsemicon reported record-high cumulative revenue of NT$11.861 billion for the first half of 2026, an 17.8% increase year-over-year. Management expects second-half performance to outperform the first half, driven by the ramp-up of the Thailand facility and optimized product mixes.

Business Segments: Both manufacturing and maintenance services hit record highs in Q2, bolstered by semiconductor equipment demand and aerospace project contributions. While gross margins were temporarily impacted by the initial production phase in Thailand, they are expected to improve as operational efficiency increases in the second half.
Industry Trends: The global semiconductor equipment market continues to grow, fueled by AI and HPC applications, as well as increased investment in advanced packaging and wafer fab equipment. Foxsemicon remains committed to deepening client partnerships and leveraging technological advancements to capture key market opportunities.
