BUSINESS REVIEW
AAC Technologies built on the momentum of last year with a strong start to 2017. During the January to March period, revenue was up 66% year-on-year to RMB4,215 million. This is the highest Q1 sales the Company has ever reported. Our industry-leading acoustic business delivered another quarter of growth domestically and internationally. Upgraded acoustic solutions with higher dollar-content drove dynamic components sales growth of 14% year-on-year, contributing 45% of total sales. In the non-acoustic segment, the Company enjoyed another robust performance this quarter. Sales of RF Mechanical and Haptics soared 225% year-on-year and accounted for 52% of total sales. Gross margin improved 1.1ppt year-on-year, rising to 41.6% because of a better product mix. Net profit grew 72% year-on-year amounting to RMB1,062 million, mainly driven by effective control of operating expenses. The management continues to aim for growth and continuous improvement, enabling outperformance of the market the Company operates in.
The first quarter is a seasonal quiet period following Christmas and Chinese New Year holidays with fewer ramp-ups and launches of new smart devices. For this first quarter of 2017, the Company's revenue declined sequentially by 27% against the strong fourth quarter results in 2016. Nonetheless, in this quarter, the Company received persistent encouraging market response to its upgraded acoustic solutions especially stereo and waterproof features. The Company continues to build a strong technology foundation for its non-acoustic segments. As in the previous quarter, in the first quarter the contributions from the non-acoustic business continued to exceed acoustics revenue.
The business fundamentals driving the Company are progressing in line with our expectations, and the performance this quarter demonstrates that the Company is on track to achieve its financial and operational objectives. We remain confident in our ability to successfully execute our long-term growth strategies by leveraging on our industry leading market position, our R&D and innovation capabilities, our unique technology solutions and our vertically integrated manufacturing operations. We strive to create shareholder value through disciplined management and financial prudence.
