The net loss per share for last quarter was NT $ 1.75, and the net profit per share for the same period last year was NT $ 0.62.

w   2023 Q3 Revenue and annual growth rates:

w   Sales in the first quarter showed a decline compared with the same period last year. In related industries such as industrial machinery and injection molding machines, as Europe and the United States continued to maintain high interest rates, market demand has not yet recovered. In addition, the mainland China market has not recovered due to the real estate bubble and excessive debt leverage have led to insufficient consumption momentum, poor investment confidence and the order volume has fallen. Although the installed capacity of mainland China's wind power industry in 2023 has begun to rebound to close to the volume in 2020, there is still a big gap with the original plan. Therefore, the production capacity prepared by the market is greater than the actual demand, resulting in the intense price war and affect the profits of the entire industry. On the other hand, in 2024, China's domestic installed demand has slowly picked up, and at the same time, international demand has also reached a new high. Thus, the price decline has stabilized, and there may be a chance for a moderate correction after the second quarter. 

Operational Outlook

The following statements about future prospects are based on expectations of the current situation, but at the same time subject to known or unknown risks or uncertainties. Please refer to the attached "Disclaimer".

w If Europe and US enter an interest rate cut cycle due to inflation falling back to a reasonable range, it is expected to promote the recovery of the industrial machinery and injection molding machine markets and accelerate and increase the development and construction capacity of wind fields.

w Yeong Guan Group strengthens its efforts to develop orders for die-casting machines, punch presses, machining machines and other industries to achieve the annual goal of accounting for more than 50% of orders for die-casting machines and other products. At the same time, we will increase efforts to develop business volume in markets outside mainland China, such as Japan.

w Yeong Guan Group will continue to implement lean measures to eliminate old production capacity, implement cost reduction and increase efficiency, and improve product quality and management efficiency to cope with the new era of global supply chain restructuring and industrial structure transformation.
