On April 24, Himax Technologies revealed that its revenue for the first quarter of 2025 soared to 995 million yuan, marking a year-on-year increase of 52.25% and setting a new all-time high. This robust performance was fueled by multiple factors, including the sustained expansion of the smart wearable market, government subsidies that bolstered consumer demand, an elevated sales proportion of smartwatch chips, and the relentless innovation in chip product offerings. Furthermore, the company's chip products witnessed an increase in their average selling price compared to the corresponding period last year. Notably, the net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company stood at 191 million yuan, representing a remarkable 590.22% year-on-year growth. This significant improvement is primarily attributed to the expansion of the overall gross profit margin due to changes in product mix, as well as the swift reduction in period expense ratio, which was a direct result of the substantial revenue growth's scale effect.
