[Financial News Express / Reporter Zhang Jiawei] Darfon (8163) announced consolidated revenue of NT$2.086 billion for August, a 4.18% decrease from the previous month and a 14.99% increase from the previous year. Cumulative consolidated revenue for the first eight months reached NT$16.65 billion, a 19.83% increase from the previous year. Although Darfon's IT products experienced premature inventory pulls in the second quarter, the company maintained growth momentum during the peak third quarter. New non-keyboard products also began contributing to revenue in the second half of the year, driving continued positive operational growth.
Darfon (8163) held a legal briefing today (1) and announced its financial statements for the second quarter and first half of this year (2025). Driven by the dual engines of IT and green energy products, the company's consolidated revenue in the second quarter reached NT$6.903 billion, a quarterly increase of 25.9% and an annual increase of 32.8%. However, due to the sharp appreciation of the Taiwan dollar, the net profit attributable to the parent company after tax was NT$61 million, and the EPS was NT$0.22, lower than NT$0.62 in the same period last year. Looking ahead, Darfon expects that in the second half of the year, IT will need to carefully observe whether the momentum can continue after customers have pulled in goods in advance. In terms of green energy, sales momentum has shown a mild recovery, but it is not yet obvious. It is expected that the overall industry will officially bottom out and recover by the end of this year or the first half of next year.
Darfon (8163-TW) announced today that its revenue in June 2025 was NT$2.319 billion, a year-on-year increase of 32.77% and a month-on-month increase of 4.61%.
The cumulative revenue from January to June this year was NT$12.385 billion, with a cumulative year-on-year increase of 20.14%.
Benefiting from the rush order effect, Darfon (8163) is expected to continue to see an upward momentum in AIoT IT product orders in the second quarter. Darfon expects that this year's revenue will be better than last year, and hopes that gross profit margin and profit will improve quarter by quarter. Although the rapid rise of AI has brought new business opportunities for servers and AI PCs, the bicycle industry is still in the inventory adjustment stage, and terminal demand has not yet fully stabilized. Darfon's consolidated revenue in 2024 will be 21.7 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of about 15.9%, operating gross profit will be 3.986 billion yuan, operating net profit will be 573 million yuan, net profit after tax attributable to the parent company will be 620 million yuan, earnings per share will be 2.22 yuan, and the company's shareholders' meeting will resolve to distribute a cash dividend of 2 yuan per share.
Darfon (8163) held an online legal briefing on Monday (5/5) to announce its first quarter financial report for 2025. Affected by the inventory liquidation of the green energy business, Darfon's gross profit margin was affected, and its EPS in the first quarter was only NT$0.21, a 9-year low. The stock price fell by more than 1% on Tuesday. Darfon was relatively weak as the Taiwan stock market remained slightly positive. Legal persons are also concerned about the impact of the reciprocal tariffs and the soaring New Taiwan dollar exchange rate on the industry. Overall, Darfon is optimistic about the full-year revenue growth through the acquisition of the German channel GROFA, and will reach a double-digit growth. In terms of profit, although the first quarter faced challenges due to the inventory liquidation of the green energy industry, Darfon is still optimistic about the quarterly increase in profit. In the AIOT industry category, Darfon believes that due to the 90-day suspension of reciprocal tariffs, the second quarter is still expected to benefit from the rush order effect. However, the third quarter will usher in the traditional peak season. Whether the rush orders will be pulled out early, resulting in a sluggish peak season, remains to be seen.
