August 15, 2025 /Semimedia/ — Electronic components distributor WT Microelectronics Co., Ltd. has outlined measures to address potential US chip tariffs, emphasizing a full-cost pass-through approach to safeguard operational stability. Chairman and CEO Eric Cheng stated that only the company’s passive component segment is currently affected, with limited impact on overall operations, and that clients have largely prepared contingency plans pending final policy decisions.

Despite first-half uncertainties from tariffs and currency fluctuations, WT Microelectronics expects the operational impact to ease in the second half of the year. The company is also enhancing global service capabilities and supply chain resilience to seize new opportunities arising from market shifts.

Financial results showed the company’s Q2 consolidated revenue reached NT$259.503 billion, up 5% quarter-on-quarter and 7% year-on-year, with net income attributable to parent company shareholders of NT$2.83 billion, up 5% quarter-on-quarter and 32% year-on-year. Q3 revenue is projected between NT$283.5 billion and NT$299.5 billion, with a gross margin of 3.85% to 4.05%.

On market demand, WT Microelectronics anticipates AI-driven investments in data centers and infrastructure will support growth, with European and US markets recovering from inventory lows and industrial and automotive applications stabilizing. Subsidiary Fuchang has returned to a growth trajectory, with momentum expected to continue into next year.

Regarding the previous share swap with Nichi-Den Trade, Cheng said the collaboration leverages complementary strengths, enabling customers to procure both active and passive components in a single transaction, expanding overseas market reach and benefiting from higher-margin passive component operations.
