All Three Margins Improved! Acter Reports Record-High 1Q EPS of NT$12.76 for the Same Period in History Order Backlog Surpasses NT$50 Billion as Strong AI-Driven Fab Expansion Demand Supports Future Growth Momentum

Acter Group Co., Ltd. ("Acter", Taipei Stock Exchange: 5536), a leading provider of cleanroom mechatronic engineering, today announced consolidated revenue of NT$11.6 billion for the first quarter of 2026, representing a year-over-year increase of 36%. Net profit attributable to owners of the parent totaled NT$1.58 billion, up 146% year-over-year, while earnings per share (EPS) reached NT$12.76, representing year-over-year increases of 146%. Both first-quarter revenue and profitability reached record highs for the same period in the Company’s history. Acter noted that continued fab construction and capacity expansion demand from customers across the semiconductor, AI data center, and high-tech electronics industries drove growth in ongoing engineering project execution during the quarter. In addition, the Group’s continued optimization of order mix and project management efficiency further supported the Company’s strong first-quarter operating performance.


Acter noted that its record-high first-quarter performance was primarily driven by solid project execution demand in Taiwan. During the first quarter of 2026, revenue contribution from Taiwan reached 67%, up sharply from 54% in the same period last year. In addition, amid strong expansion demand from diversified industries, Acter continued to enhance project engineering management and optimize supply chain integration efficiency. As a result, the Company reported gross margin of 25%, operating margin of 19%, and net profit margin of 16% for the first quarter, all showing year-over-year improvement and reflecting across-the-board margin expansion.


Acter remains optimistic that broad-based increases in AI-related capital expenditures will continue to drive a new wave of expansion across the supply chain. As of the end of the first quarter, the Company’s total order backlog officially surpassed NT$50 billion, laying a solid foundation for growth in the future. Acter will continue leveraging its “group-wide integrated approach” strategy to provide customers with more comprehensive one-stop high-tech facility engineering solutions, helping enhance project value-added capabilities and large-scale turnkey project execution capacity. The Group’s operational footprint currently spans 11 regions, including Taiwan, China, Southeast Asia, Japan, India, and the United States, and Germany, enabling strong cross-regional project management and localized service capabilities. These advantages position Acter to capture long-term growth opportunities arising from AI infrastructure expansion, semiconductor supply chain restructuring, and multi-region high-tech facility construction trends.


Looking ahead to the second quarter of 2026, Acter remains positive and optimistic. The Company will continue strengthening its professional engineering management and system integration capabilities, while actively optimizing its order mix to focus on high value-added projects. At the same time, Acter is expanding its overseas market presence to pursue large-scale turnkey engineering opportunities. With order backlog remaining at a high level, steady project execution, and the growing benefits of the Group’s “group-wide integrated approach” strategy, Acter expects to further expand both its operational scale and order intake momentum going forward.
