SEMIFIVE Reports 137% Revenue Growth in Q1 2026

May 18, 2026
SEMIFIVE recorded a 137 percent year over year revenue increase in the first quarter of 2026, reaching KRW 47.9 billion, driven by strong growth across its ASIC development, mass production, and IP segments.

SEMIFIVE announced in a press release that it achieved record revenue and new orders in the first quarter of 2026, marking a 137 percent increase compared to the same period last year. The company reported consolidated revenue of KRW 47.9 billion and new orders totaling KRW 55.4 billion, representing its highest quarterly performance to date.

The ASIC development services segment generated KRW 28.0 billion in revenue, a 2.6-fold increase year over year. Overseas revenue now accounts for more than 60 percent of total development sales, supported by expansion in North America and Japan. SEMIFIVE’s focus on advanced 2nm and 4nm process node projects for data center AI ASICs contributed to improved profitability.

The mass production segment saw significant expansion, with new purchase orders in the quarter amounting to 74 percent of the total recorded for all of 2025. This reflects the transition of earlier design projects into mass production. The IP segment nearly doubled its revenue due to strong demand for low power mixed signal IP from subsidiary Analog Bits, particularly for 2nm and 3nm process nodes.

SEMIFIVE stated that continued overseas project transitions and an expanding pipeline are expected to sustain growth through 2026.
