Realtek Semiconductor Corp. announced robust financial results for the second quarter, reporting a consolidated revenue of NT$30.674 billion, marking a 19.7% increase from the previous quarter and a 16.7% rise year-on-year. The gross profit margin slightly improved to 50.9%, up 0.1 percentage point from the previous quarter. Net profit reached NT$4.387 billion, reflecting a significant quarterly growth of 40.2% and an annual increase of 68.3%. Earnings per share stood at 8.55 yuan.
The second quarter’s performance was notably driven by large-scale events such as the European Cup, which bolstered shipment momentum. Despite facing competitive pressures from Chinese manufacturers, Realtek aims to maintain and expand its market share. The company leverages its design strengths to attract more brand manufacturers and consumers, even as the Chinese government encourages local supplies for Chinese LCD TV brands.
Looking ahead, Realtek anticipates stable operational momentum in the third quarter, supported by strong demand in communications, information, and automotive networking applications. The company projects that its Q3 gross profit margin will remain consistent with Q2 levels.
Realtek’s ability to capitalize on major events and its strategic focus on innovation and market expansion underline its robust financial health and optimistic outlook for the rest of the year.
