Acter Group Co., Ltd. ("Acter", Taipei Stock Exchange: 5536), a leading provider of cleanroom mechatronic engineering, today announced consolidated revenue of NT$14.28 billion for the third quarter of 2026, representing increases of 7% quarter-over-quarter and 29% year-over-year. Net income attributable to owners of the parent reached NT$1.6 billion, up 17% quarter-over-quarter and 56% year-over-year, while earnings per share (EPS) reached NT$12.86, representing increases of 17% quarter-over-quarter and 56% year-over-year. For the first three quarters of 2026, consolidated revenue reached NT$39.26 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 29%. Net income attributable to owners of the parent totaled NT$4.54 billion, up 80% year-over-year, while earnings per share (EPS) stood at NT$36.59, representing a year-over-year increase of 80%. Both quarterly and cumulative revenue and earnings for the first three quarters achieved record highs for the same period, underscoring the Group's powerful growth momentum and exceptional profitability.

Acter stated that its operational growth momentum remained highly robust this year, primarily fueled by the accelerating global expansion of AI applications. This trend has driven the semiconductor, high-tech electronics, cloud computing, and high-end manufacturing supply chains to aggressively advance new plant construction, facility expansions, and production line upgrades. Consequently, this has shored up the steady execution and revenue recognition of the Group's overall order backlog according to scheduled timelines. Concurrently, the continuously emerging benefits from project management, procurement integration, and cross-regional resource allocation have further optimized engineering execution efficiency and the profitability structure. These factors propelled the Group to deliver a stellar "tri-factor margin expansion" in the third quarter, with the single-quarter gross margin exceeding 24% and the operating margin reaching 19%. Notably, the gross margin improved both quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year, driving overall earnings performance to another historic high for the same period. This fully underscores the Group’s competitive advantage and operational synergies within high-technical-barrier engineering fields.

Acter further pointed out that as the semiconductor, AI, and high-tech electronics supply chains accelerate their global capacity reallocations, customers' demands for cross-regional plant construction, professional engineering integration, and localized service capabilities continue to escalate. The Group is actively consolidating its professional engineering resources, continuously expanding its overseas localized professional teams, supply chain systems, and strategic partner networks. These efforts strengthen Acter's capacity to secure and execute large-scale, highly complex turnkey projects, further enhancing its competitive edge in the global market. Backed by the steady progress of existing projects and the gradual realization of benefits from its overseas business layout, the Group’s consolidated revenue for October 2026 skyrocketed 60% year-on-year to NT$5.11 billion, setting a new record for the month. Cumulative consolidated revenue for the first ten months of 2026 reached NT$44.37 billion, a 32% increase year-on-year, which simultaneously refreshed the all-time high for the same period and demonstrated the sustained continuity of the Group's operational growth momentum.

Furthermore, Acter’s Board of Directors today resolved and approved the earnings distribution plan for the first half of 2026, proposing a cash dividend of NT$12 per share, which reflects an improved payout ratio compared to the first half of last year. The ex-dividend date has been scheduled for January 11, 2027, and the cash dividend payment date for January 29, 2027. While balancing overseas market expansion, funding requirements for large-scale engineering projects, and a robust financial structure, Acter continues to uphold its prudent financial management and dividend policy, aiming to return value to all shareholders through steady cash dividends and share the fruits of the Group's operational growth.

Looking ahead to the fourth quarter of 2026 and the Group's mid-to-long-term operations, Acter maintains a positive, proactive, and optimistic outlook. As global investments in AI infrastructure continue to expand, coupled with sustained strong demands for overseas plant construction in advanced semiconductor processes, memory, and high-tech industries, the trends of global supply chain regionalization and capacity expansion are becoming increasingly distinct. These factors will continue to create diversified and sustainable business growth opportunities for the Group. Capitalizing on its strategic layout advantages that span multiple industries, regions, and engineering disciplines, Acter is actively deepening cooperative relationships with existing clients, expanding its overseas market footprint, and continuously improving transnational project integration and engineering execution efficiency. These efforts have propelled the Group's overall engineering order backlog to another historic high of NT$84 billion. Moving forward, as the scale of global project awards continues to expand, coupled with the steady execution of on-hand engineering projects and the further realization of synergies from Group resource integration and project management, Acter remains highly confident in its mid-to-long-term operational growth prospects. The Group aspires to continuously drive the scale of its revenue and profitability, paving the way for a new milestone in its operational development.
