Asia Optical's Q2 Profit Hits Second-Highest; Focuses on Robot Lenses

Optical giant Asia Optical (3019) announced strong second-quarter results, with net profit reaching NT$537 million (US$16.3 million), the second-highest for the period in its history. Revenue hit NT$8.03 billion, up 29% quarter-on-quarter and 16% year-on-year, though net profit decreased 33% year-on-year due to non-operating factors like interest income and exchange rate losses.

The company is focusing on three key growth areas: promoting its glass-plastic hybrid lenses for humanoid robots, accelerating research and development for AR, VR, Metalens, and AI applications, and ensuring its new overseas production base operates smoothly. Asia Optical highlighted its leading position in Metalens technology, utilizing direct nanoimprint lithography for CPO (co-packaged optics).

Furthermore, Asia Optical is leveraging its precision manufacturing expertise to expand into the data center market. The company aims to partner with global data center operators, offering AI data center liquid cooling solutions to address increasing thermal management challenges and enhance computing efficiency. This strategic focus on AI-driven products is expected to capitalize on market opportunities.

We will continue to promote three major development opportunities, including promoting humanoid robot lenses, actively demonstrating the advantages of G+P (glass + plastic hybrid lenses), accelerating R&D for AR, VR, Metalens, and AI application products, and launching market-注目 products in a timely manner, promoting the smooth production of new overseas production bases.
