UMS’ net attributable profit rises to $9.8m in Q1

The board declared a tax-exempt dividend of $0.01 per share.

UMS reported a net attributable profit of $9.8m in Q1 2025, supported by a 7% increase in revenue to $57.7m.

The revenue growth was driven by stronger performances in both its Semiconductor and Aerospace segments, which rose 6% and 22% respectively. These gains were partly offset by a 12% decline in the Others segment.

Year-on-year, revenue in the Others segment fell 39%, mainly due to weaker performance in the material and tooling distribution business.

Geographically, all of the group’s key markets—with the exception of Malaysia and the US—posted lower revenue during the quarter.

Malaysia emerged as the top performer, recording a 287% year-on-year surge in sales to $9.4m. US revenue rose 7%, whilst sales in Singapore eased 5% and Taiwan saw a 22% decline.
