[Public Notice+] Alpha Holdings "Expecting Positive Impact from AI Semiconductor Market Entry... Confident in Performance Improvement This Year"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Alpha Holdings announced on the 24th that it recorded separate basis sales of 70 billion KRW and an operating profit of 1.7 billion KRW last year. In particular, the operating loss in the consolidated results decreased, and the operating profit also increased separately.

An Alpha Holdings official stated, "The non-recurring losses that occurred and were reflected last year are expected to hardly occur from this year," adding, "Due to the performance increase of the acquired IR Receiver Business (formerly ADTech) and Image Sensor Business (formerly Alpha Plus Chip), performance is expected to improve noticeably this year."

Recently, market demand for high-performance system semiconductors such as 5G and AI, which are the growth drivers of the system semiconductor foundry market, is rapidly increasing. Alpha Holdings is a SAFE partner company of Samsung Electronics' Foundry Division. It is expected that the system semiconductor design service sector will grow as the company will soon make a full-scale entry into the AI semiconductor market.

An Alpha Holdings official said, "This year, significant performance growth is expected as the effects of entering the AI semiconductor business will be added to the growth of the existing design service and fabless sectors."
