ASICLand Reports 72.8 Billion Won in Sales Last Year... Anticipates Full-Fledged Future Growth

ASICLand, a company specializing in application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design solutions, announced on the 13th that it recorded consolidated sales of 72.8 billion won and an operating loss of 27.6 billion won last year. This result is attributed to preemptive investments aimed at strengthening advanced process design capabilities to respond to the global semiconductor market and internalizing AI semiconductor design technologies.

ASICLand identified the primary factors behind the recent changes in performance as follows: ▲ revenue deferral due to adjustments in the development schedules of major clients; ▲ increased overseas investment to expand advanced processes at its Taiwanese subsidiary; ▲ expanded research and development investment resulting from the pursuit of new research projects.

The company’s performance is expected to improve significantly this year. This is due to a sharp increase in demand for customized AI semiconductors in the global market, creating a favorable business environment. In fact, last January, ASICLand signed a mass production contract for storage controllers worth approximately 25.4 billion won, marking the beginning of a shift toward a more profitable mass production sales structure. As ongoing development projects are converted to mass production sales, the company anticipates a reduction in development and operational expenses, resulting in improved profitability.

Last month, ASICLand further demonstrated its global technological competitiveness by signing a new development contract with 'BrainChip,' a global neuromorphic AI semiconductor company. In December of last year, the company also announced a new contract with a client based in Malaysia. By securing customers in North America—the world’s largest semiconductor market—and Malaysia, which is emerging as a key hub for semiconductor back-end processes, ASICLand is expected to gain momentum in securing new client references in both the United States and Asia.

An ASICLand representative stated, “Starting this year, with mass production sales and the addition of new global projects, we expect to see a clear improvement in our performance.”
