Kinus posted an August net profit of NT$817 million, or NT$1.59 per share, and announced a NT$23.5 billion capital expenditure plan to boost ABF substrate capacity.
What Happened
Financial Performance: Kinus released its unaudited August financial results, reporting a monthly net profit of approximately NT$817 million, representing a 353.89% year-over-year increase. The monthly EPS reached NT$1.59, signaling a significant recovery in profitability compared to the previous year.
Capital Expenditure: The company has approved a NT$23.5 billion capital expenditure plan to expand its ABF substrate production capacity over the next three years. A significant portion of this investment, including NT$6 billion earmarked for 2026, is dedicated to upgrading and expanding ABF substrate manufacturing equipment.
Operational Goals: Kinus reaffirmed its goal of achieving quarter-over-quarter growth throughout the year. The company has also strengthened its financial structure through shareholder-approved private placement plans to support its long-term strategic objectives.
Market Challenges: While demand for substrates is recovering, Kinus noted that rising costs for raw materials like copper foil will limit the extent of potential price hikes. Consequently, the company expects that future margin improvements will be driven primarily by higher capacity utilization rates rather than price increases.
