IMI Income Up 33% in Q1 2017
May 4, 2017 | Integrated Micro-Electronics Inc.Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
Integrated Micro-Electronics Inc. (IMI) has announced net income of $8.7 million for the first quarter of 2017, up by 33% year-on-year, buoyed by strong revenue growth and better gross profit margins. Revenue reached $235.9 million, up by 18% compared from last year. The strong net income performance was mainly led by the company's continuous focus on its core markets—automotive and industrial.
Arthur Tan, IMI CEO, says, "Our net income for the quarter increased year-on-year as we continue to explore the limits of our customer base for emerging trends, as well as unfulfilled needs and opportunities."
Combined IMI Europe's operations generated $66.5 million revenues in the first quarter, a 17.8% improvement year-on-year mainly from automotive lighting applications.
The company's Mexico site generated $19.2 million revenues, higher by 13.3% due to increasing demand for its key industrial and automotive businesses.
The EMS operations in the Philippines posted $57.1 million in revenues, an increase of 11.1% from that of the same period of last year due to bolstering automotive camera sales, while the company’s semiconductor assembly and test subsidiary delivered $8.8 million, a growth of 13.7% from last year.
IMI China's $60.6 million revenues saw a 9% reduction year-over-year as a result of a drop in demand for the telecom infrastructure business.
Newly acquired Via Optronics GmbH showed strong continued revenue growth of $23.9 million.
"IMI delivered solid first quarter results due to growing industry trends and expanding portfolio, riding high on the strong performance of our high-margin businesses with higher revenues from our focus markets," said IMI President Gilles Bernard. "Our recent acquisitions, as well as our continued efforts to build and enhance quality in our operations and the establishment of a more solid corporate culture are testaments to such strong results."
IMI CFO Jerome Tan said, "We continue to invest in capital expenditures required to support new projects in our pipeline. This growth was evidenced by 56 percent increase in our capital spending year-on-year."
The company's balance sheet as of the end of March 2017 remains stable with current ratio and debt-to-equity ratio of 1.44:1 and 0.80:1, respectively. IMI recently announced the start of operation of its motorcycle manufacture and assembly, a joint venture between Ayala and KTM AG, an Austrian motorcycle company.
