Acter Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Acter*”, Ticker: 5536 TT) announced May 2023 revenue. On a consolidated basis, the group’s May 2023 revenue increased 4% YoY to NT$2.06 billion. 2023 accumulated revenue grew 7% YoY to NT$9.87 billion. Acter* continues to improve the efficiency of project engineering, master the procurement lead time, and implement modular operational processes to meet the project completion schedules for cleanroom and electromechanical projects of various industries. Despite the challenges faced in the supply chain, Acter* continued to deliver revenue growth, demonstrating excellent project management capabilities. While factors such as the required raw materials and labor continue to affect project execution, Acter* has improved cost estimation and control by establishing a database of qualified suppliers and subcontractors, maintaining good relationships with suppliers, and keeping track of changes in procurement and outsourcing prices. This effectively mitigates the risks associated with price fluctuations in procurement and outsourcing, enhances the efficiency of engineering management, and ensures the implementation of project budgets and schedules, thereby sustaining steady growth.

2023 Outlook:

Despite short-term fluctuations in the semiconductor market, the medium and long-term business outlook remains optimistic. In mainland China, emerging markets such as 5G communication, low-orbit satellites, and electric vehicles are on the rise. The third-generation semiconductors with advantages in high power and high frequency are expected to grow significantly in the future, and industry participants are actively developing and investing, bringing new project opportunities for Acter*. In Southeast Asia, investments are advancing towards the region. Acter* has established subsidiaries in Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand. By leveraging Taiwan's experience and early mover advantages, we expect new orders momentum to accelerate in the next few years. In Taiwan, although the order momentum of new projects may slow down due to high comparison base, as Taiwan integrates into the global resilient supply chain, customers will continue to invest and bring new opportunities. Acter* will continue to deliver customer needs, consolidate existing customers, and continuously develop new customers and industries. Acter*'s strategy is to reduce negative impact through a business layout of multiple industries, regions, and skill sets. In addition, Acter*’s NT$30 billion accumulated would be sufficient to support the group's operations for the next 1-2 years.

Acter*'s core business is engineering system integration services. In the face of global climate change and industrial transformation challenges, Acter* is committed to investing in the research and development of green innovative technologies. From a technical standpoint, Acter* provides customers with energy-saving and environmentally friendly economic engineering solutions.
