Tex Year (4720) reported cumulative consolidated revenue of NT$3.036 billion as of October this year, with October 2024 revenue surpassing any single month's revenue in 2023. According to the Group's Q3 2024 financial report, consolidated revenue reached NT$2.699 billion, marking an 11% annual growth rate. Earnings per share (EPS) stood at NT$1.23, setting a historical high for the same period. This growth was primarily driven by stable raw material costs and steady shipment growth across all regions, allowing the Group's gross profit margin to return to normal levels. Looking ahead to Q4, despite economic uncertainties influenced by the U.S. presidential election, exchange rate fluctuations, and geopolitical tensions, overall demand remains higher than last year. The Group's full-year revenue and profit are expected to exceed last year's performance, achieving double-digit growth.

Tex Year actively participates in major international industry events, staying ahead of innovation trends. This year, in its role as the International PR Convener of the Taiwan Synthetic Resins and Adhesives Industrial Association (TSRAIA), Tex Year assisted in organizing the "ARAC 2024: The 7th Conference of Asia Regional Adhesive Council," a prestigious event held in Taiwan once every 16 years. During the conference, Tex Year's Chief Technology Officer, John Yeh, served as one of the session moderators, while R&D Manager of the Hot Melt Adhesive Division, Larry Wu, presented research on "Development of Bio-based and Compostable Hot Melt Adhesives." This showcased Tex Year's commitment to technological innovation in green adhesives and aligned with the conference theme, "Toward Green," focusing on the industry's transition to sustainable development. The guests engaged in lively discussions, with a full audience in attendance. Additionally, TSRAIA was officially confirmed as the new rotating chair of ARAC. TSRAIA Chairman Huang Tsung-Yu nominated, and the assembly approved, Tex Year’s Chairman and CEO, Donald Hsiao, to assume the ARAC Chairmanship. This marks a new chapter for TSRAIA on the international stage, further strengthening the development of Taiwan’s related industries.
