Trio-Tech Reports 82% Revenue Growth in Q2 FY2026, Reflecting Expanding Role in AI and EV Semiconductor Reliability Testing

VAN NUYS, Calif.: 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 financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2025. The Company reported 82% year-over-year revenue growth, driven primarily by strong demand for advanced semiconductor testing services supporting AI compute chips and EV power devices, along with continued growth in aerospace-related industrial electronics.

Trio-Tech International Chairman and CEO S.W. Yong’s Comments

Semiconductor Back-End Solutions Driving Growth

“We delivered a strong quarter marked by substantial revenue growth and improved operating performance, driven by continued momentum in our Semiconductor Back-End Solutions segment, which is increasingly serving customers developing AI compute chips and EV power devices that require advanced reliability and performance validation.

“Demand for final test services supporting next-generation semiconductor products remained robust during the quarter, reflecting our customers’ growing focus on device reliability, yield optimization, and compliance with increasingly stringent performance standards. As AI and electrification trends drive greater complexity in semiconductor design, our testing capabilities are becoming increasingly critical to our customers’ development and qualification processes.

“We believe Trio-Tech is well-positioned as a critical infrastructure partner for semiconductor reliability and performance validation, particularly for customers operating in high-growth, high-value markets such as AI and electric vehicles. At the same time, we continue to invest in our capabilities and regional footprint to capitalize on anticipated growth opportunities in these expanding end markets. Our focused approach, combined with expanding testing activity across Southeast Asia and increasing demand outside of China, continues to support strong segment performance.

“In our Industrial Electronics segment, revenue growth was driven by higher sales of aerospace-related products and increased equipment demand, reflecting the benefits of our ongoing expansion into diversified end markets. With a solid balance sheet and continued operational discipline, we remain focused on executing our strategy and positioning the Company for sustainable growth through the remainder of fiscal 2026.”
