 Due to seasonal demand increase in cellphones, revenue in Q2 grew 20% sequentially to NT$ 2,597M. However, the level of the revenue this year was below last year. This was primarily due to the sudden change in screen aspect ratio for the new designs. This change caught the supply chain by surprise and stalled the shipment of many new designs. For FocalTech, this impact slows down the ramp up of IDC products. Thus, our Q2 revenue showed a sequential quarterly increase but a yoy drop of 12%.

  • The change in display aspect ratio so far impacted more on mid to highend cellphones than on mid to low-end phones. This adversely affected our Q2 product mix and in turn affecting the gross margin, which dropped to 20.5% by nearly 2.5% qoq. However, on a yoy basis, our gross margin rate managed a continuing improvement.

CONFIDENTIAL @2017 FocalTech Systems Co., Ltd. All rights reserved

  • As for the net income of Q2, it turned positive to NT$ 31M from a loss of NT$ 8M in Q1. Despite small revenue base, similar result was also found for the 1H of this year vs. 1H of 2016; the net profit of NT$ 23 million this year vs. a loss of NT$28 million last year.

  • In summary, the overall gross profit and net profit of the first half of 2017 are better than those of last year. This is due to the continuing improvement in overall manufacturing efficiency and cost; the gross margin improved by 2.5% to 21.7%.

  • Q3 is typically a high season in the year. We expect this remains to be true for mid to low-end cellphone market this year. However the design change for higher aspect ratio screen will cast some uncertainty on how fast the recovery is for the mid to high-end cellphone market. It may be a supply limit situation. Both OLED and LCD in-cell modules will become the key focus.

  • For mid to high-end segment, FocalTech is expecting noticeable growth in the full in-cell IDC products. Both LTPS and α-Si in-cell panels will be in strong demand in 2H of this year. However, due to cost advantage, the shipment of α-Si HD in-cell modules may overtake the LTPS FHD counterpart.
