Advantest profit seen up 10% on chip-test systems – Nikkei Asia
TOKYO — Advantest‘s group operating profit apparently climbed 10% for the six months ended in September, with growth in the semiconductor-testing equipment business mitigating the impact of the stronger yen.
The Japanese test-equipment maker looks to have logged around 7.5 billion yen ($72.1 million) in profit for the first half. This likely exceeds internal projections, though no public guidance has been issued. Sales apparently fell 10% or so to around 78 billion yen, as a strong yen crimped overseas revenue in conversion. This fiscal year’s figures reflect international reporting standards, which Advantest adopted in place of U.S. standards at the end of March.
