2Q24 strong earnings driven by networking biz and Voltaira. FIT’s 2Q24 revenue of US$ 1,102mn (+20% YoY) and net profit of US$ 22.3mn (vs US$0.35mn in 2Q23) were in-line with prior positive profit alert. Higher-ASP server products and better product mix led to a better GPM of 20.4% (vs 16.0% in 2Q23). By segment, EV segment jumped +231% YoY due to Voltaira merge, while networking segment grew 29% YoY on booming AI demand. Smartphone segment delivered better-than-expected results due to key customer’s shipment improvements with sales strategy. 2Q OPEX ratio lowered to 16.3% (vs. 17.8% in 1Q24) due to higher efficiency, FIT maintained OPEX ratio target of below 15-16%/13% for FY24/25E.
