Announces FY2026 1Q Financial Results Press Release
NOVA Reports Q1 EPS of NT$3.84, a Record High for the Same Period; Strong Backlog Supports Positive Growth Outlook
Ranked in the top 5% of corporate governance assessments for seven consecutive years, demonstrating its outstanding sustainability
Hsinchu, May 7, 2026
Nova Technology Corp. (“NOVA*,” Taipei Stock Exchange: 6613 TT) , a leading provider of semiconductor and flat panel process supply systems, today announced consolidated revenue of NT$2.34 billion for the first quarter of 2026, representing a year-over-year increase of 8.95%. Net profit attributable to owners of the parent totaled NT$299 million, up 28.81% year-over-year, with earnings per share (EPS) of NT$3.84, also increasing 28.43% year-over-year.
The strong performance was primarily driven by robust order recognition from key customers in the semiconductor and memory sectors. Supported by an optimized order mix and effective cost control, both revenue and profitability reached record highs for the same period in the Company’s history.
NOVA* stated that sustained demand for AI chips has continued to drive global semiconductor and memory manufacturers to increase capital expenditures for new fab construction and capacity expansion. This, in turn, has led to more active order placement and revenue recognition for high-purity chemical supply and dispensing systems among its key customers.
During the first quarter, a higher proportion of smaller-scale project recognition, coupled with disciplined cost and expense management, supported margin expansion. As a result, NOVA* reported gross margin of 32.09%, operating margin of 20.16%, and net profit margin of 15.13% for the first quarter of 2026, all showing year-over-year improvement and reflecting across-the-board margin expansion.
NOVA* remains optimistic about maintaining solid growth momentum this year, supported by strong order intake across its business segments. The Company has also acquired several large-scale project orders since the beginning of the year.
As of the end of the first quarter, total order backlog reached NT$12.7 billion, representing a year-over-year increase of 81% and marking a record high in the Company’s history. As these large-scale projects progressively enter the equipment delivery and installation phases, their revenue contributions are expected to support continued growth in overall operations.
NOVA* noted that the Company remains committed to advancing its ESG principles, strengthening its operational fundamentals, and supporting long-term sustainable development. In the 12th Corporate Governance Evaluation jointly conducted by the Taiwan Stock Exchange and the Taipei Exchange, NOVA* was ranked among the top 5% of listed companies for the seventh consecutive year, achieving the highest level of recognition.
As the evaluation framework transitions toward a more comprehensive ESG assessment, NOVA* has proactively implemented related systems and strategies. The Company continues to enhance its sustainability initiatives and execution capabilities by integrating internal resources to promote green technologies, support social well-being, and improve transparency and efficiency in corporate governance. Through these efforts, NOVA* aims to create long-term corporate value while fulfilling its environmental and social responsibilities, and advancing its sustainable development objectives.
