BANGKOK – Hana Microelectronics said second-quarter revenue dropped 1% year-over-year to about $115 million, but net profit rose 26% to almost $16 million.
First-half revenue rose 1% to $227.5 million compared to the same period last year, with net profit rising 24% to $29.13 million.
The profit increase was a result of higher capacity utilization, the company said.
The firm, which builds IC packages and electronics assemblies, expects revenues to grow 15% in the third quarter, as a result of increased orders from China, India and Southeast Asia.
Hana recorded revenue of $452 million last year. More than 80% of sales were attributable to PCBs and IC assemblies, say published reports. The company was ranked 36th among the largest EMS suppliers by Electronic Business.
Hana also has added 3,000 sq. meters to its production plant, and is considering building a new facility in the same location.
