UMS Integration Limited, listed on the SGX Mainboard, has announced a 7% increase in revenue to S$57.7m for the first quarter of the financial year 2025, alongside a net attributable profit of S$9.8m. This growth was primarily fuelled by robust performances in its Semiconductor and Aerospace divisions, which saw increases of 6% and 22% respectively. However, the company’s Others segment experienced a 12% decline due to challenging market conditions.
The Semiconductor segment saw a notable 19% rise in component sales, reaching S$28.9m, driven by demand from a new customer. Despite this, sales of Semiconductor Integrated Systems fell by 8% due to earlier supply chain issues, which have now been resolved. Geographically, Malaysia was a standout performer with a 287% increase in sales, whilst the US market grew by 7%.
UMS’s financial health remains strong, with a free cashflow generation of S$1.1m and net cash increasing to S$81.4m by the end of March 2025. The company also declared a tax-exempt dividend of 1 cent per share for the quarter.
Looking ahead, UMS is optimistic about its growth prospects, particularly with the anticipated rise in global fab equipment spending. Chairman and CEO Andy Luong noted the company’s strategic positioning amidst global trade challenges, stating, “We remain optimistic of brighter prospects and will leverage our strong balance sheet and financial position to enhance our ability to navigate the ongoing global volatility and deliver long-term value to shareholders.” The company plans to continue expanding its product offerings and expects significant growth in its Semiconductor and Aerospace segments in the coming quarters.
