Key Points
- ASMPT Ltd (ASMVF) achieved better-than-expected bookings for the first half of 2025, with revenue guidance for Q3 above market consensus.

- The group experienced strong booking growth in China, driven by demand in electric vehicles and consumer end markets.
- ASMPT Ltd's leadership position in TCB tools for both logic and high bandwidth memory (HBM) applications continues to strengthen, supported by an expanding customer base.
- The company's SMT segment experienced revenue declines year on year and half on half, despite some quarter-on-quarter growth.
- ASMPT Ltd's gross margin declined year on year due to an unfavorable product mix in the SMT segment.
- Operating profit showed a year-on-year decline of 12.2%, despite half-on-half growth, due to higher operating expenses and unfavorable foreign exchange impacts.
