Business Review
AAC Technologies continued to report new highs in both sales and earnings for the nine months ended 30 September 2017. The revenue and net profit rose 43% and 42% year-on-year to RMB13,967.8 million and RMB3,492.7 million respectively, due to solid growth across all major business segments. Sales of the acoustic segment increased by 20% year-on-year, contributing 48% of total revenue, with growth mainly driven by increasing shipments of major products and the increase in the ASP caused by wider adoption of higher specification acoustic solutions, namely stereo sound designs and waterproof features. The non-acoustic business grew 79% year-on-year, accounting for 47% of total revenue, representing greater penetration of our unique solutions into more new customers and the growth of ASP on upgrading design on this segment. New platforms started in the latter half of the third quarter and overall gross profit margin achieved 41.1%. Increased R&D investment incurred mostly in the new acoustic and optics directions to deliver innovative designs for customers and R&D expenses rose 39% year-on-year, representing 8.2% of revenue. Net profit margin was 25.0% and basic earnings per share was up 43% to RMB2.85 per share.
Being the start of the high traditional season, the third quarter would be packed with new flagship smartphone launches across different major brand names. Due to product mix improvement, strong growth in major platforms shipments has largely outperformed the overall smartphone market growth. Q3 revenue rose 27% year-on-year to RMB5,323.5 million, a new Q3 record. Acoustic sales recorded a growth of 17% to RMB2,522.5 million in Q3 compared to the same quarter of 2016, representing 47% of total revenue.
