APWC Announces Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2026

GlobeNewswire
Quarterly revenue of $136.6 million, up 4% from Q1 and up 8% from a year ago. Quarterly operating profit was $3.4 million, up 36% from a year ago. TAIPEI, Taiwan, Aug. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Asia Pacific Wire & Cable Corporation Limited ("APWC" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: APWC) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. Quarterly revenue was $136.6 million, up 4% from the previous quarter and up 8% from a year ago. For the quarter, earnings per share were $0.01, down 80% from the previous quarter and down 67% from a year ago. Copper unit volume, measured by the tonnage of copper contained in the wire and cable sold, decreased 3% sequentially and decreased 7% from a year ago. This does not include other raw materials, such as aluminum and insulation materials. Q2 Fiscal 2026 Summary 1Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2026, March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2025 are calculated based on weighted average common shares outstanding of 41,232,454, 28,382,902, and 20,616,227, respectively. The increase in weighted average shares in 2026 reflects the full-period impact of the new common shares issued in February 2026. Numerators for all periods reflect profit attributable to the equity holders of the parent. RevenueRevenue for the second quarter was $136.6 million, representing an 8% year-over-year increase. The growth was largely attributable to the continued rise in international copper prices, alongside the gradual execution and completion of public-sector contracts. North Asia revenue for the second quarter was $29.5 million, up 29% year over year and 23% sequentially. This growth was largely attributable to the continued upward trend in copper prices, as well as seasonal factors that boosted sales volume compared to the previous quarter. Thailand's revenue for the second quarter was up 17% year over year and 1% sequentially, reflecting strong execution of public-sector orders and private-sector investment in manufacturing, supported by rising copper prices. ROW revenue for the second quarter was down 7% from a year ago and 1% sequentially, primarily reflecting temporary market constraints in Singapore. Despite the modest sequential decline, revenue remained relatively stable compared with the previous quarter. Gross ProfitGross profit margin for the second quarter was 8.1…Read full document

Gross ProfitGross profit margin for the second quarter was 8.1%, expanding year over year from 6.8% while remaining relatively unchanged compared to the preceding quarter. The year-over-year growth was largely attributable to higher copper prices and robust demand for public sector orders. ExpensesTotal selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 19.5% year over year, primarily due to higher research and development costs and increased selling expenses. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Cash and cash equivalents were $64.6 million, a decrease of $8.6 million from the preceding quarter, primarily reflecting payments made to suppliers. Trade receivables for the second quarter rose to $112.7 million, up $4.6 million from the preceding quarter, primarily reflecting higher sales revenue driven by elevated copper prices and volume growth. Inventory of $171.3 million represents an increase of $20.7 million from the preceding quarter. This expansion was mainly attributable to raw material accumulation required to fulfill public-sector contract delivery schedules. Cash flow from operating activities generated an outflow of $18.0 million in the second quarter, compared to a net inflow of $1.6 million in the prior quarter. The increased cash outflow was primarily driven by higher raw material costs stemming from sustained copper price increases, as well as an inventory build to support the fulfillment of existing customer contracts. Cash inflow from financing activities was $10.5 million for the second quarter, primarily driven by additional short-term borrowings to fund raw material procurement.

Shareholders Shouldn’t Be Too Comfortable With Asia Pacific Wire & Cable's (NASDAQ:APWC) Strong Earnings

Simply Wall St.
The latest earnings release from Asia Pacific Wire & Cable Corporation Limited (NASDAQ:APWC ) disappointed investors. Our analysis found several concerning factors in the earnings report beyond the strong statutory profit number. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. One essential aspect of assessing earnings quality is to look at how much a company is diluting shareholders. Asia Pacific Wire & Cable expanded the number of shares on issue by 100% over the last year. Therefore, each share now receives a smaller portion of profit. To talk about net income, without noticing earnings per share, is to be distracted by the big numbers while ignoring the smaller numbers that talk to per share value. You can see a chart of Asia Pacific Wire & Cable's EPS by clicking here. As you can see above, Asia Pacific Wire & Cable has been growing its net income over the last few years, with an annualized gain of 62% over three years. But EPS was only up 45% per year, in the exact same period. And the 100% profit boost in the last year certainly seems impressive at first glance. On the other hand, earnings per share are only up 83% in that time. And so, you can see quite clearly that dilution is having a rather significant impact on shareholders. Changes in the share price do tend to reflect changes in earnings per share, in the long run. So it will certainly be a positive for shareholders if Asia Pacific Wire & Cable can grow EPS persistently. However, if its profit increases while its earnings per share stay flat (or even fall) then shareholders might not see much benefit. For the ordinary retail shareholder, EPS is a great measure to check your hypothetical "share" of the company's profit. Note: we always recommend investors check balance sheet strength. Click here to be taken to our balance sheet analysis of Asia Pacific Wire & Cable. Finally, we should also consider the fact that unusual items boosted Asia Pacific Wire & Cable's net profit by US$1.9m over the last year. While we like to see profit increases, we tend to be a little more cautious when unusual items have made a big contribution. We ran the numbers on most publicly listed companies worldwide, and it's very common for unusual items to be once-off in nature. And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. A…Read full document

And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. Assuming those unusual items don't show up again in the current year, we'd thus expect profit to be weaker next year (in the absence of business growth, that is). To sum it all up, Asia Pacific Wire & Cable got a nice boost to profit from unusual items; without that, its statutory results would have looked worse. On top of that, the dilution means that its earnings per share performance is worse than its profit performance. Considering all this we'd argue Asia Pacific Wire & Cable's profits probably give an overly generous impression of its sustainable level of profitability. If you'd like to know more about Asia Pacific Wire & Cable as a business, it's important to be aware of any risks it's facing. To that end, you should learn about the 2 warning signs we've spotted with Asia Pacific Wire & Cable (including 1 which is concerning). In this article we've looked at a number of factors that can impair the utility of profit numbers, and we've come away cautious. But there is always more to discover if you are capable of focussing your mind on minutiae. For example, many people consider a high return on equity as an indication of favorable business economics, while others like to 'follow the money' and search out stocks that insiders are buying. So you may wish to see this free collection of companies boasting high return on equity, or this list of stocks with high insider ownership. Have feedback on this article?

APWC Announces Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2026

GlobeNewswire
Quarterly revenue of $130.8 million, up 30% from a year ago Quarterly EPS was $0.05, up 171% from a year ago TAIPEI, Taiwan, May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Asia Pacific Wire & Cable Corporation Limited ("APWC" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: APWC) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. Quarterly revenue was $130.8 million, down 2% from the previous quarter and up 30% from a year ago. For the quarter, earnings per share were $0.05, down 71% from the previous quarter and up 171% from a year ago. Copper unit volume, measured by the tonnage of copper contained in the wire and cable sold, decreased 2% sequentially and increased 5% from a year ago. This does not include other raw materials, such as aluminum and insulation materials. Q1 Fiscal 2026 Summary Revenue Revenue for the first quarter was $130.8 million, representing a 30% year-over-year increase. Growth was driven by broad-based momentum across our international markets, where favorable commodity trends and steady project execution contributed an additional $30.2 million to the top line. North Asia revenue for the first quarter was $23.9 million, up 26% year over year and 3% sequentially, primarily driven by the sustained increase in copper prices. Thailand's revenue for the first quarter was up 41% year over year and 12% sequentially, reflecting strong execution of public-sector orders, supported by rising copper prices. ROW revenue grew in the first quarter, up 23% from a year ago, but down 14% sequentially. The annual growth was driven by a recovery in the Australian market, supported by preemptive purchasing amid geopolitical tensions. The sequential decrease reflected the timing of public sector project milestones, resulting in normal quarterly variability. Gross Profit Gross profit margin for the first quarter was 8.2%, compared to 3.6% in the same period last year and flat sequentially. The year-over-year expansion was primarily driven by a more favorable product mix and the positive impact of rising copper prices. Expenses Total selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 19.0% year-over-year, primarily due to higher research and development costs and increased selling expenses.

Non-Operating Items During the quarter, the Company recorded a one-time gain of approximately $1.0 million from the disposal of an investment. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Cash and cash equivalents were $73.2 million, an increase of $40.1 million from the preceding quarter. This increase was primarily driven by the successful completion of a rights offering in the first quarter, which raised $34.1 million in net proceeds. Trade receivables for the first quarter rose to $108.1 million, up $4.6 million from the preceding quarter. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily driven by higher average selling prices, reflecting sustained copper price appreciation. Inventory was $150.6 million, representing a slight decrease of $1.0 million from the preceding quarter. The stable inventory level reflects the ongoing deliveries, which offset prior-period build-up while maintaining a consistent stock position to support future demand. Cash flow from operating activities generated an inflow of $1.6 million in the first quarter, compared to a net outflow of $1.9 million in the prior quarter. This improvement was primarily driven by a reduction in inventory purchases, which lowered cash requirements for replenishment. Cash inflow from financing activities recorded $40.6 million, compared with $40.9 million in the prior quarter, primarily driven by the completion of the rights offering.

Asia Pacific Wire & Cable's (NASDAQ:APWC) Earnings Might Be Weaker Than You Think

Simply Wall St.
Asia Pacific Wire & Cable Corporation Limited (NASDAQ:APWC) posted some decent earnings, but shareholders didn't react strongly. Our analysis suggests they may be concerned about some underlying details. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. One essential aspect of assessing earnings quality is to look at how much a company is diluting shareholders. In fact, Asia Pacific Wire & Cable increased the number of shares on issue by 100% over the last twelve months by issuing new shares. That means its earnings are split among a greater number of shares. To talk about net income, without noticing earnings per share, is to be distracted by the big numbers while ignoring the smaller numbers that talk to per share value. Check out Asia Pacific Wire & Cable's historical EPS growth by clicking on this link. Asia Pacific Wire & Cable's net profit dropped by 5.3% per year over the last three years. On the bright side, in the last twelve months it grew profit by 5.3%. On the other hand, earnings per share are only up 6.5% over the same period. And so, you can see quite clearly that dilution is having a rather significant impact on shareholders. In the long term, earnings per share growth should beget share price growth. So it will certainly be a positive for shareholders if Asia Pacific Wire & Cable can grow EPS persistently. However, if its profit increases while its earnings per share stay flat (or even fall) then shareholders might not see much benefit.

Finally, we should also consider the fact that unusual items boosted Asia Pacific Wire & Cable's net profit by US$662k over the last year. While it's always nice to have higher profit, a large contribution from unusual items sometimes dampens our enthusiasm. When we crunched the numbers on thousands of publicly listed companies, we found that a boost from unusual items in a given year is often not repeated the next year.

APWC Announces Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter of 2025 and Fiscal Year 2025

GlobeNewswire
Quarterly revenue of $133.8 million, up 4% from Q3 Full Year EPS was $0.18, up 6% from prior year TAIPEI, Taiwan, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Asia Pacific Wire & Cable Corporation Limited ("APWC" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: APWC) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025 and the April 29, 2026 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of its annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”). Quarterly revenue was $133.8 million, up 4% from the previous quarter and down 2% from a year ago. For fiscal year 2025, revenue was $489.7 million, up 4% from a year ago. Earnings per share was $0.18, up 6% from a year ago. For the quarter, earnings per share were $0.17, up 31% from a year ago. Copper unit volume, measured by the tonnage of copper contained in the wire and cable sold, decreased 8% sequentially and increased 2% year-over-year in the fourth quarter. This does not include other raw materials, such as aluminum and insulation materials. Q4 Fiscal Year 2025 Summary Revenue Revenue for the fourth quarter was $133.8 million, down $2.3 million or 2% from the same period last year and up $5.4 million or 4% sequentially. The year‑over‑year decline reflected fewer public sector orders compared with 2024, when a higher portion of such projects were completed. In addition, the majority of public sector deliveries continued to be concentrated in the fourth quarter. North Asia revenue for the fourth quarter was $23.3 million, up 14% from a year ago and up 9% sequentially. Growth was driven in part by higher average copper prices during 2025. Thailand revenue for the fourth quarter was up 4% from a year ago, but down sequentially. The year-over-year growth was supported by favorable foreign exchange movements, while the sequential decline reflected the completion of most public sector orders in the third quarter. ROW revenue rose to $64.6 million in the fourth quarter, up 14% sequentially from the prior quarter, driven by public sector order completions in Singapore. Compared with the same period last year, ROW revenue declined 10% year-over-year.

Quarterly revenue of $133.8 million, up 4% from Q3 Full Year EPS was $0.18, up 6% from prior year TAIPEI, Taiwan, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Asia Pacific Wire & Cable Corporation Limited ("APWC" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: APWC) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025 and the April 29, 2026 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of its annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”). Quarterly revenue was $133.8 million, up 4% from the previous quarter and down 2% from a year ago. For fiscal year 2025, revenue was $489.7 million, up 4% from a year ago. Earnings per share was $0.18, up 6% from a year ago. For the quarter, earnings per share were $0.17, up 31% from a year ago. Copper unit volume, measured by the tonnage of copper contained in the wire and cable sold, decreased 8% sequentially and increased 2% year-over-year in the fourth quarter. This does not include other raw materials, such as aluminum and insulation materials. Q4 Fiscal Year 2025 Summary Revenue Revenue for the fourth quarter was $133.8 million, down $2.3 million or 2% from the same period last year and up $5.4 million or 4% sequentially. The year‑over‑year decline reflected fewer public sector orders compared with 2024, when a higher portion of such projects were completed. In addition, the majority of public sector deliveries continued to be concentrated in the fourth quarter. North Asia revenue for the fourth quarter was $23.3 million, up 14% from a year ago and up 9% sequentially. Growth was driven in part by higher average copper prices during 2025. Thailand revenue for the fourth quarter was up 4% from a year ago, but down sequentially. The year-over-year growth was supported by favorable foreign exchange movements, while the sequential decline reflected the completion of most public sector orders in the third quarter. ROW revenue rose to $64.6 million in the fourth quarter, up 14% sequentially from the prior quarter, driven by public sector order completions in Singapore. Compared with the same period last year, ROW revenue declined 10% year-over-year. Public sector demand for supply, delivery and installation ("SDI") projects remains robust, though revenue recognition is linked to project milestones, which can cause quarterly fluctuations. Gross Profit Gross profit margin for the fourth quarter was 8.2%, down from 8.7% in the previous quarter and from 9.1% in the same period last year. The decrease primarily reflected a less favorable product mix. Expenses Total selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 22.5% year-over-year, primarily due to increased research and development costs. Non-Operating Items During the quarter, the Company recorded a one-time gain of approximately $0.7 million from the disposal of an investment. Net Income Net income increased by $2.4 million sequentially, due to the timing of project completions and profit contributions from all segments, except for Thailand. Thailand posted softer sequential results but only a portion was attributable to APWC. The increase in net income was aided by a one-time gain from the disposal of an investment. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Cash and cash equivalents were $33.2 million, a decrease of $2.1 million from the preceding quarter, primarily driven by higher inventory levels. The increase in accounts payable offset the impact on working capital. Trade receivables for the fourth quarter rose to $103.5 million, up $6.2 million from the preceding quarter, reflecting higher order volumes and shipments. Inventory was $151.5 million, an increase of $14.1 million from the preceding quarter. The increase primarily reflected advance procurement for the next quarter's orders and monthly deliveries amid sustained rising copper prices. Cash flow from operating activities saw an outflow of $1.9 million in the fourth quarter, compared with an inflow of $11.6 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to the timing of raw material purchases. Cash outflow from financing activities was $0.3 million, compared with an outflow of $10.0 million from the prior quarter, reflecting increased short-term borrowings. Fiscal Year 2025 Summary Revenue Fiscal year 2025 revenue was $489.7 million, up $17.0 million or 4% from 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher average copper prices, but partially offset by changes in product mix. North Asia revenue for 2025 was $86.3 million, up 19% from 2024. The increase was primarily due to customer pull-forward shipments in anticipation of tariff policy changes, driving higher overall sales volumes. Thailand revenue for 2025 was $176.9 million, up 2% from 2024. The increase was mainly due to 8% appreciation in the Thai Baht. ROW revenue for 2025 was $226.5 million, slightly down from 2024. The decrease was mainly driven by a reduction in one market, partially offset by the increase in another, resulting in a net decrease of $0.8 million. Part of the segment is experiencing cooling macroeconomic environment and stiffer competition. Gross Profit Fiscal year 2025 gross profit margin decreased by 2% from a year ago. The slight decline in gross profit margin was primarily due to a higher contribution from project-based and public sector sales during the period, which typically involve fixed or pre-agreed pricing and longer execution cycles, limiting our ability to immediately pass through increases in copper prices. Expenses Total selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 10.2%, mainly for research and development. Net Income Net income increased by $0.2 million or 6% from a year ago, reflecting the combined effect of revenue growth, margin pressure, higher operating expenses, and softer contribution from the Thailand segment. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Cash and cash equivalents for 2025 were $33.2 million, down $0.9 million from 2024, consistent with normal operational fluctuations. Trade receivables for 2025 were $103.5 million, up 1% from 2024. The modest increase reflects stable collection levels, remaining largely in line with revenue growth. Inventory for 2025 was $151.5 million, up $24.7 million from 2024, due to elevated unshipped orders and stocking requirements. Cash flow from operating activities saw an outflow of $7.8 million in 2025, representing a $32.1 million increase in outflow compared to the prior year, primarily reflecting timing and use of working capital, including contract asset movements related to public sector projects. Cash flow from financing activities was an inflow of $9.1 million, compared with an outflow of $24.3 million in 2024, reflecting increased short-term borrowings.

APWC Announces Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2025

GlobeNewswire
Quarterly revenue of $128.4 million, up 1% from Q2 and up 5% from a year ago Quarterly operating profit of $3.8 million, up 19% from Q3 2024 TAIPEI, Taiwan, Nov. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Asia Pacific Wire & Cable Corporation Limited ("APWC" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: APWC) today reported unaudited results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. Quarterly revenue was $128.4 million, up 1% from the previous quarter and up 5% from a year ago. Copper unit volume, measured by the tonnage of copper contained in the wire and cable sold, increased 2% in the third quarter from Q2 and increased 12% from a year ago. This does not include other raw materials, such as aluminum and insulation materials. For the quarter, earnings per share were $0.05, up 67% from the previous quarter and down 17% from a year ago. "In Q3 2025 we achieved revenue growth in an environment where businesses continue to face uncertainty," commented Yuan Chun Tang, Chairman and CEO of APWC. "Our revenues from public sector projects proved to be a dependable source of income, derived from contracts that can be awarded as much as 2 to 3 years before project commencement. We remain cautious, however, as an uncertain macroeconomic outlook and pricing pressure from increased competition persist." "Increase in copper prices had a significant impact on the current quarter gross profit," said Ben Lee, CFO. "We saw an expansion in gross profit and operating profit both sequentially and on a year-over-year basis. However, net income narrowed compared with the same period last year, as 2024 had a favorable foreign exchange movement. We are keenly aware that in the current environment, exchange rates and copper prices can turn quickly. We are making efforts to reduce our working capital and inventory levels and to shorten our cash conversion cycle." Q3 Fiscal 2025 Summary Revenue Revenue for the third quarter was $128.4 million, up $6.2 million (or 5%) from the same period last year and up $1.5 million (or 1%) sequentially. The increase this quarter was primarily driven by new orders from public sector customers. North Asia revenue for the third quarter was $21.3 million, up 20% from a year ago and down 6% sequentially. The year-over-year growth was driven by increased sales of flat wire products to the electric vehicle and drone industries. The sequential decline was mainly due to higher custom…Read full document

Quarterly revenue of $128.4 million, up 1% from Q2 and up 5% from a year ago Quarterly operating profit of $3.8 million, up 19% from Q3 2024 TAIPEI, Taiwan, Nov. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Asia Pacific Wire & Cable Corporation Limited ("APWC" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: APWC) today reported unaudited results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. Quarterly revenue was $128.4 million, up 1% from the previous quarter and up 5% from a year ago.

Q3 Fiscal 2025 Summary Revenue Revenue for the third quarter was $128.4 million, up $6.2 million (or 5%) from the same period last year and up $1.5 million (or 1%) sequentially. The increase this quarter was primarily driven by new orders from public sector customers. North Asia revenue for the third quarter was $21.3 million, up 20% from a year ago and down 6% sequentially. The year-over-year growth was driven by increased sales of flat wire products to the electric vehicle and drone industries. The sequential decline was mainly due to higher customer pull-forward of orders due to US tariffs in Q2. Thailand revenue for the third quarter was up 14% both from a year ago and sequentially. The growth was mainly driven by higher order volumes from public sector projects and a favorable product mix, both of which contributed to the overall revenue increase. ROW revenue declined slightly in the third quarter mainly due to a decrease in SDI revenue. Demand from SDI public sector projects remains strong, with large projects awarded in the current quarter. Revenue recognition for these projects is tied to the progress of project completion, resulting in some fluctuations from quarter to quarter. Gross Profit Gross profit margin for the third quarter was 8.7%, up from 6.8% in the previous quarter and up from 7.6% in the same period last year. The margin improvement was primarily driven by product mix and rising copper prices, partially offset by intensified price competition in certain regions. Expenses Total selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 11.1% from the previous quarter, mainly due to higher research and development costs related to flat wire products. Non-Operating Items Exchange gains and losses mostly offset each other during this quarter. In contrast, there was a substantial appreciation in Thai Baht in the same period last year, with exchange gains of $0.7 million. This led to an unfavorable variance when compared to the same period last year. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Cash and cash equivalents were $35.3 million, an increase of $0.3 million from the preceding quarter, driven by lower inventory levels and higher accounts payable, which led to a shorter cash conversion cycle. Trade receivables for the second quarter were $97.4 million, a $0.3 million decrease from the preceding quarter, reflecting improved cash collections. Inventory was $137.4 million, a decrease of $7.0 million from the preceding quarter, driven by higher public sector demand, which increased deliveries and reduced inventory levels. Cash flow from operating activities was an inflow of $11.6 million in the third quarter of 2025, representing a $27.0 million increase in inflow compared to the prior quarter. Cash outflow from financing activities was $10.3 million, a decrease of $21.8 million from the preceding quarter. The increase in operating cash inflow was mainly driven by growth in customer orders, while cash outflow from financing activities was used to repay short-term borrowings.

Quarterly revenue of $126.9 million, up 26% from Q1 and up 11% from a year ago Quarterly EPS was $0.03, up 143% from Q1 and 250% from a year ago TAIPEI, Taiwan, Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Asia Pacific Wire & Cable Corporation Limited ("APWC" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: APWC) today reported unaudited results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. Quarterly revenue was $126.9 million, up 26% from the previous quarter and up 11% from a year ago. Copper unit volume, measured by the tonnage of copper contained in the wire and cable sold, increased by 13% in the second quarter but decreased by 9% from a year ago. This does not include other raw materials, such as aluminum and insulation materials. For the quarter, earnings per share were $0.03, up 143% from the previous quarter and up 250% from a year ago. “In a second quarter filled with trade uncertainty, APWC delivered revenue growth compared to the same period in prior years,” said Yuan Chun Tang, Chairman and CEO of APWC. “In some markets, we benefited from pull forward of customer orders, before tariffs taking effect. We also observed increased competition, with over-capacity in China’s industrial sector leading to increased supply in some markets, putting pressure on prices. Our strong branding and qualifications to compete for public sector projects was crucial in enabling the Company to attain revenue growth this quarter. “Our business model and geographical footprint has provided us important optionality when facing trade uncertainty. Some of our manufacturing sites are located in countries with low tariff rates, as low as 10% based on announcements made as of August 1st. We are planning to leverage the low tariff rates of some our manufacturing sites to grow our top line revenue. “We are also preparing for a rights offering with details to be announced soon. We intend to use the rights offering proceeds to invest in new production facilities to take advantage of the global supply chain re-alignment. We are still evaluating site selection, andbesides Asia, North America is also a viable option. Working with our vendors and partners, we are also investing in new technologies to enhance our product portfolio and provide new drivers for future growth. Overall, while I remain cautious with the near-term business environment, I am optimistic about the long-term growth potential of APWC.” Q2 Fiscal…Read full document

In Q2, the currencies of Asia-Pacific economies generally appreciated against the U.S. dollars. Excluding the impact of the currency appreciation, on a constant currency basis, revenue grew 23% from the previous quarter. North Asia revenue for the second quarter was $22.8 million, up 18% from a year ago and up 21% sequentially. The rise was partly driven by customers pulling forward orders ahead of schedule due to U.S. tariff deadlines. Additionally, continued development of electric vehicles in the region contributed to steady growth in flat wire sales. Thailand revenue for the second quarter was up 10% from a year ago and up 22% sequentially. The increase was primarily driven by higher order volumes, foreign exchange appreciation, and changes in the product mix, all of which contributed to overall revenue growth. ROW revenue grew significantly in the second quarter, up 32% sequentially, mainly driven by completion of public sector projects. We also noted the demand for new projects remained at a high level throughout the first half of the year. Gross Profit Gross profit margin for the second quarter was 6.8%, up from 3.6% in the previous quarter and up from 4.3% in the same period last year. The margin expansion was mainly driven by higher margin product mix. However, intensified price competition, as well as fluctuations in copper prices and exchange rates, partially offset these gains. Expenses Total selling, general, and administrative expenses were mostly flat, as an increase in selling expenses was offset by decreases in other expenses. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Cash and cash equivalents were $35.0 million, a decrease of $3.3 million from the preceding quarter, mainly due to increased payments to suppliers, in line with higher sales activities. Trade receivables for the second quarter were $97.7 million, reflecting a $13.0 million increase from the preceding quarter and was primarily driven by higher customer orders and pull forward demand in the current quarter. Inventory was $144.5 million, a decrease of $5.0 million relative to the preceding quarter, as raw material build-up was consumed for the deliveries of customer orders in the current quarter. Cash flow from operating activities was an outflow of $15.5 million in Q2 2025, representing a $13.4 million increase in outflow compared to the prior quarter. The higher outflow was primarily driven by increased cash payments to vendors, despite stronger cash collections from increased customer orders. Cash outflow was lower by $7.4 million compared to the same period last year; the year-over-year improvement was mainly due to pull-forward demand and increased public sector purchases, which led to higher cash inflows.

In the Thailand segment, operating profit margin increased from a loss of (1.27)% in 2023 to 4.13% in 2024. This positive shift was largely due to enhanced profitability in the public utility sector. In the North Asia segment, operating profit margin decreased from 3.06% in 2023 to (0.61)% in 2024. This decline was increased research and development costs in 2024 related to advancing the Company's product lines in flat wire and rectangular enamel wires for the EV industry. The ROW segment’s operating profit margin decreased from 4.31% in 2023 to 2.29% in 2024, mainly due to Singapore’s reversal of a US$2.1 million onerous contract provision in 2023 after completing the delivery and influx of competitive products from China.
