  • Automotive display ICs remained the largest revenue contributor, accounting for about 50% of total revenue, with the company holding the No.1 global market share in this segment.

  • WiseEye AI, CPO, and AR/AI glasses businesses are expected to drive long-term growth, with WiseEye entering a rapid growth phase and AR/AI glasses revenues projected to rise substantially.

  • Tariff policy uncertainty persisted, but recent U.S. clarifications and settlements have reduced global trade uncertainty; new U.S. tariffs on non-U.S. manufactured chips announced, with limited direct impact expected.

  • Non-driver sales rose 14.7% sequentially, mainly from increased automotive and monitor product shipments.

Financial highlights

  • Q2 operating income was $18.1M (8.4% margin), down from $19.8M last quarter and $29.3M a year ago.

  • Q2 after-tax profit was $16.5M, or $0.095 per diluted ADS, compared to $20.0M last quarter and $29.6M a year ago.

  • Cash, cash equivalents, and other financial assets totaled $332.8M at quarter end, up from $281.0M last quarter, driven by $60.5M positive operating cash flow.

  • Q2 inventories were $134.6M, up from $129.9M last quarter but down from $203.7M a year ago.

  • Operating expenses rose 6.9% sequentially, mainly due to NT dollar appreciation.

Outlook and guidance

  • Q3 2025 revenue expected to decline 12–17% sequentially; gross margin projected around 30%; loss per diluted ADS estimated at $0.02–$0.04, mainly due to annual employee bonus expensing.

  • Q3 guidance incorporates an estimated $8.2M–$13.3M employee bonus expense, impacting cash and operating expenses.

  • Automotive and non-automotive sectors face limited visibility and cautious customer demand, with customers maintaining lean inventories and delaying new product launches.

  • AR/AI glasses and WiseEye AI sensing businesses projected for substantial growth in coming years.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
