TRIO-TECH DELIVERS Q4 REVENUE GROWTH AND PROFITABILITY AND STRENGTHENS BALANCE SHEET
Van Nuys, Calif. – September 19, 2025 – Trio-Tech International (NYSE MKT: TRT), a comprehensive provider of semiconductor back-end solutions and a global value-added supplier of electronic equipment, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended June 30, 2025.
Trio-Tech International Chairman and CEO S.W. Yong’s Comments:
“In the fourth quarter, Trio-Tech achieved year-over-year revenue growth and delivered profitability, driven by strong momentum in our Industrial Electronics (IE) segment. IE revenue grew 70% compared to the prior year, fueled by demand and diversification into both existing and new end markets. This performance highlights the opportunity for IE to increasingly serve as a growth engine for the Company.
For the full year, while our Semiconductor Back-End Solutions (SBS) revenues were pressured by industry cyclicality and trade-related headwinds, we saw encouraging resilience from our operations in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, as customers began to shift toward alternative geographies for testing solutions. Excluding the negative impact from foreign exchange movements of $671,000, Trio-Tech would have achieved full-year profitability of $630,000, underscoring the strength of our operations, disciplined cost management, and improved product mix.
“Our balance sheet remains strong, with $19.5 million in cash and deposits, and an 11% increase in working capital. This financial flexibility allows us to invest selectively in growth opportunities while weathering short-term industry volatility. We also significantly reduced liabilities during the year, positioning us well to support future growth. Following the year-end, we signed an agreement to acquire the remaining 50% stake in our Malaysian subsidiary, Trio-Tech (Malaysia), subject to Malaysian government approval, further strengthening our presence in this strategically important region. While semiconductor demand is expected to remain volatile, particularly in China, we are confident that our customer engagement, strategic partnerships, and expanding Industrial Electronics business position the Company for sustainable, long-term growth.
“The global semiconductor industry is undergoing a strategic transformation, with supply chains shifting from cost optimization toward resilience amid tariffs and escalating geopolitical tensions. With Malaysia and Thailand emerging as critical hubs for backend testing and packaging, Trio-Tech is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this transition. Our longstanding relationships with leading semiconductor players—built on trust, reliability, and shared value—give us deep insight into their evolving needs, while our regional expertise and proven capabilities ensure we can deliver high-impact services. Our focus on resilience, adaptability, and targeted demand opportunities strengthens our confidence in the Company’s long-term prospects.”
