KUALA LUMPUR, 16 December 2025 — UWC Berhad kicked off the new financial year on a strong footing, posting a 35.1% year-on-year increase in revenue for the first quarter ended 31 July 2026, supported by rising semiconductor orders and contributions from recently acquired subsidiaries.
The integrated engineering supporting services provider recorded revenue of RM120.8 million in Q1FYE2026, up from RM89.4 million in the same quarter a year earlier. The improvement was driven primarily by stronger order intake from the semiconductor industry, alongside additional revenue streams from the Group’s acquired subsidiaries.
In tandem with the higher revenue base, profit before tax (PBT) surged 177.5% to RM23.3 million, while profit after tax (PAT) climbed 169.8% to RM17.0 million. During the quarter, UWC also recorded a foreign exchange loss of RM3.0 million.
Semiconductor Recovery and AI Demand Lift Performance
Executive Director and Group Chief Executive Officer Dato’ Seri Ng Chai Eng said the strong quarterly performance reflects improving conditions across the semiconductor value chain and the effectiveness of UWC’s strategic initiatives.
“We are pleased to begin the financial year with a robust set of results, reflecting improving conditions in the semiconductor industry and the positive impact of our strategic initiatives. The gradual recovery in both front-end and back-end semiconductor segments has translated into higher order flows and improved financial performance during the quarter,” he said.
Ng added that the continued global adoption of artificial intelligence is driving demand for more complex and higher-precision semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
“Supported by ongoing investments in cleanroom facilities, automation and talent development, our front-end semiconductor engineering capabilities position us well to meet customers’ evolving requirements,” he said.
Focused on Long-Term Growth Execution
Looking ahead, Ng said the Group remains focused on executing new projects, expanding its customer base and advancing its long-term growth strategy.
