2026-05-14 08:30 ET - News Release

VAN NUYS, Calif. -- (Business Wire)

Trio-Tech International (NYSE American: 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 third quarter ended March 31, 2026.

The Company reported 124% year-over-year revenue growth, driven primarily by strong demand for semiconductor reliability testing services.

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

Semiconductor Back-End Solutions Driving Growth

“During the third quarter, we delivered strong revenue growth driven primarily by continued demand in our Semiconductor Back-End Solutions segment, including customers developing advanced AI computing and EV automotive-related chips that require high levels of reliability and performance validation. We continue to see solid momentum in semiconductor testing services and equipment, particularly across Asian operations.

“We are encouraged by the significant year-over-year improvement in revenue and profitability year-to-date. We believe Trio-Tech is well-positioned as a key partner for semiconductor reliability and performance validation, particularly for customers in high-growth markets such as AI and EV automotive. In March, we announced approximately $5.3 million in orders for high-performance Burn-In Boards supporting a next-generation AI GPU platform. Since then, we have received an additional $2.5 million in orders, underscoring demand for our burn-in and reliability solutions. Accordingly, we continue to invest in our capabilities and regional footprint to support anticipated growth opportunities in these expanding end markets.

“Our focused approach, combined with expanding testing activity across Southeast Asia, continues to support strong segment performance. With a solid balance sheet, further strengthened by our recently completed equity financing, and with continued operational discipline, we remain focused on executing our strategy and positioning the Company for sustainable growth.”

Outlook

Trio-Tech expects increased demand for its semiconductor back-end testing services, supported by customer programs for advanced semiconductor devices, including high-performance CPU and GPU computing requirements and EV automotive applications. In response to growing demand from our North American and European semiconductor customers,the Company is expanding its footprint in Malaysia through a newly executed lease for an additional 104,000 square feet in Perai, Penang. This expansion adds significant capacity for AI-related testing services and meets the strong customer demand for our services in Southeast Asia.

The Company also expects higher contributions from its Industrial Electronics segment, driven by demand across industrial, commercial and aerospace applications. Within Industrial Electronics, revenue growth and contribution increased from key components used in third-generation point-of-sale (POS) systems, reflecting the segment’s continued expansion into commercial technology applications.

Trio-Tech remains focused on operational efficiency, disciplined demand-driven capital allocation, and maintaining a strong liquidity position to support long-term growth and profitability.
