Segment Revenue

In Q2 FY2018, the CE segmental revenue increased by 45.7% to HK$380.4 million from HK$261.1 million in Q2 FY2017, mainly attributable to the increased demand of smart LED lighting products with Internet of Things (IoT) features.

ICE segmental revenue increased by 10.5% to HK$345.3 million in Q2 FY2018 year-on-year. The increase in revenue was mainly contributed by the increase in demand from some ICE customers, in particular, rising demands from in-car connectivity modules.

The Group’s gross profit for Q2 FY2018 increased by 25.5% to HK$104.8 million from HK$83.5 million in Q2 FY2017. Due to a change in product sales mix in the period, gross profit margin decreased slightly to 14.4%.

The Group’s other income remained stable at HK$3.3 million.
