MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The review of Q1 2026 will include a business and financial review of the Group's Continuing Operations only, after adjustments under non-HKFRS measures, unless otherwise specified.
The Group consists of two businesses: the Semiconductor Solutions Segment ("SEMI") and SMT Solutions Segment ("SMT").
Q1 2026 Group Business Review – Continuing Operations
AI Driving Demand Across Multiple Products
The rapid evolution of AI technology is increasing the value and complexity of backend semiconductor manufacturing. New AI architectures demand heterogeneous integration, tighter interconnect pitch, higher bandwidth and power efficiency across data-centre, cloud and edge workloads. These requirements are driving higher precision, alignment and process-control needs across packaging flows, increasing demand for the Group's solutions. This includes Thermo-Compression Bonding and Hybrid Bonding for advanced logic-to-memory interconnects, high-precision Flip Chip and Mass Reflow for cost-efficient scaling, and Photonics & Co-Packaged Optics as connectivity constraints emerge. In parallel, AI-infrastructure build-outs continue to support SEMI and SMT mainstream applications with increasing power density and reliability requirements.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - Continued
Thermal Compression Bonding ("TCB")
In Logic, the Group reinforced its leadership in chip-to-substrate ("C2S"), underpinned by sizeable shipments and repeat orders in Q1. In chip-to-wafer ("C2W"), the Group booked a total of four tools in Q1 from a leading advanced logic customer for its ultrafine-pitch TCB solution featuring the Group's proprietary plasma AOR technology. The Group is also actively engaging key logic players across multiple programmes and is well-positioned for more opportunities as the industry advances towards more complex logic chip architectures.
In Memory, the Group remains at the forefront of technology development, with a key memory player adopting its flux based TCB tool for sampling and qualifying the Group's AOR fluxless process for HBM4 16H.
Photonics & Co-Packaged Optics ("CPO")
The Group's Photonics solutions delivered five-fold increase in YoY revenue growth, benefitting from strong demand for high-speed transceivers of 800G and beyond. Its 1.6T transceiver solutions received bulk orders from key optics suppliers in the data centre networking supply chain. This demonstrates strong traction for the Group's optical transceiver solutions as the market leader.
CPO represents a paradigm shift in AI system design by bringing optical engines closer to, or directly alongside, compute silicon, significantly reducing electrical trace lengths, lowering power consumption and improving system efficiency. The Group's CPO solutions enable high-precision bonding to integrate diverse components including fibre array unit, microlens, electronic IC and photonic IC into a single high-performance optical engine. The Group deepened engagement with multiple leading global CPO players, and this positions the Group well to gain market share as CPO adoption accelerates.
Flip Chip High Precision Die-Bonding ("FC")
The Group's FC solutions achieved strong bookings growth in Q1.
The accelerated adoption of 2.5D packaging for larger AI package sizes has led to a steady order pipeline for the Group's FC solutions for embedded bridge die bonding across both Chip-on-Wafer ("CoW") and Chip-on-Panel ("CoP") applications. The Group's solutions are also gaining traction in Panel-Level Fan-Out ("PLFO") for radio frequency and power devices. These solutions offer cost effectiveness, scalability, and both superior placement accuracy and throughput.
Hybrid Bonding ("HB")
Building on shipments in 2025, the Group continued to make progress on its second-generation HB solution that delivers competitive alignment precision, bonding accuracy, footprint efficiency, and units per hour ("UPH"). The Group also recently commissioned an additional Class 100 clean room to further support its active collaborations with leading logic and memory players across multiple projects.

Q1 2026 Group Financial Review
Group revenue of HK$3.97 billion (US$507.9 million) was above the mid-point of guidance, up 0.2% QoQ and 32.0% YoY.
Group bookings of HK$5.67 billion (US$727.0 million) were significantly stronger than expected, up 46.0% QoQ and 71.6% YoY, the highest in the last 4 years. Growth came from multiple products, notably, SMT products, wire and die bonders, and Photonics. The Group achieved a book-to-bill ratio of 1.43.
Adjusted gross margin of 39.5% for the Group was up 357 bps QoQ but down 151 bps YoY. QoQ improvement was due to higher gross margin and revenue contribution from SEMI. YoY decline was due to higher revenue contribution from SMT.
The Group's adjusted operating expenses ("OPEX") declined 4.6% QoQ mainly due to cost control measures. Adjusted OPEX was up 12.4% YoY largely due to unfavourable FX impact, strategic infrastructure and R&D investments.
Adjusted net profit was HK$335.2 million, up 123.8% QoQ and 193.5% YoY, due to higher operating profit.

Page 6 of 16
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - Continued
SMT achieved record bookings of HK$3.26 billion (US$417.4 million), up 70.0% QoQ and 101.1% YoY, primarily driven by strong demand from AI servers, optical transceivers and China EVs.
SMT's adjusted gross margin was 31.3% for Q1 2026, down 32 bps QoQ and 12 bps YoY. QoQ decline was due to lower volume while YoY decline was due to unfavourable end-market mix, partially offset by higher volume.
Adjusted segment profit was HK$141.8 million in Q1 2026, down 28.3% QoQ due to lower volume but improved YoY.
Outlook
The Group expects Q2 2026 revenue to be between US$540 million to US$600 million, up 12.2% QoQ and 37.0% YoY at mid-point of US$570 million, which is above market consensus. This strong growth will be driven mainly by SEMI.
The Group expects bookings in Q2 2026 to remain elevated for both segments, though SMT will be down QoQ due to high base effect.
The continued proliferation of AI is expected to drive broad-based, structural demand for ASMPT across multiple products. These include the Group's cutting-edge TCB and HB solutions enabling next-generation AI compute and HBM, photonics and CPO supporting high-speed data requirements, to wire & die bonding and pick-and-place solutions enabling AI infrastructure deployment. Looking ahead, structural AI-driven demand is expected to support revenue growth across both SEMI and SMT in 2026.
While the Group has not experienced any material impact from the ongoing geopolitical developments in the Middle East, it acknowledges that uncertainties remain. The Group's global presence provides it with the flexibility to navigate any potential impact, and it will continue to monitor the situation closely and adapt as needed.

For review of financial performance, the Group has provided adjusted results and adjusted earnings per share which are supplementary to the Group's consolidated results in accordance with HKFRS Accounting Standards ("HKFRS"). The Group believes that these additional figures provide our shareholders and investors with useful supplementary information about our ongoing operating performance and facilitates the analysis and comparison of financial trends and results between periods. The adjusted profit and adjusted earnings per share exclude the impact of (i) share-based payments, (ii) restructuring costs which were mainly related to employee severance, benefit arrangements and shutdown-related cost, (iii) gain on disposal of a joint venture, (iv) loss on dilution effect of investment in an associate, (v) impairment loss of goodwill and intangible assets and (vi) related income tax effects.
Share-based payments under the employee share incentive scheme of the Group are included in HKFRS reporting. For non-HKFRS measures, it was excluded for greater comparability of operating results across periods. Management believes that it will provide greater comparability of operating results across periods by eliminating the share-based payments, which can vary based on the award timing, vesting period and market price volatility.
The use of these non-HKFRS measures may have certain limitations as a tool for analysis and comparison. Shareholders and investors are advised not to consider these non-HKFRS measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for analysis of, the Group's financial performance as reported under HKFRS. Also, please note that these non-HKFRS measures may be defined differently from similar terms used by other companies.
The following tables highlighted the reconciliations of the Group's financial measures prepared in accordance with HKFRS for Q1 2026, Q4 2025 and Q1 2025 to the non-HKFRS measures.
