Hsinchu, Taiwan – April 10, 2025 – Integrated Service Technology Inc. (iST, TWSE:3289), a leading provider of verification and analysis services for electronic products, today announced its consolidated revenue for March 2025 totaled approximately NT$394 million. This represents a 9.38% increase compared to the previous month and a year-over-year growth of 1.30%. The performance marks a new third record high, underscoring the company’s ongoing growth momentum.
The recent proposal by U.S. President Donald Trump to implement a “reciprocal tariff” policy has intensified global concerns over supply chain restructuring and its potential ripple effects on the semiconductor industry. However, iST indicated that despite uncertainties surrounding product pricing and shipment volumes, the impact on the verification and analysis sector remains relatively limited.
First of all, semiconductor-related items remain on the exemption list under the latest announced tariff schedule by the U.S. government. As a result, the circulation of core components has not encountered material disruptions. Moreover, iST’s core business model is service-oriented, focusing on reliability verification, failure analysis, and materials analysis at the R&D stage, rather than direct product sales. Consequently, cross-border tariff policies exert less influence on iST’s operations compared to manufacturing and mass production segments.
Looking ahead, even under geopolitical and trade tensions that may lead to lab capacity adjustments and reduced capital expenditures, major customers are expected to maintain R&D investment in pursuit of technological leadership and new market opportunities. As long as R&D continues, the demand for verification and analysis services will remain strong. iST is confident that its unique value proposition and role in the industry value chain will buffer the company against potential risks posed by tariffs and production scalebacks.
In addition, to enhance shareholder value and uphold financial discipline, iST’s Board of Directors has approved a share buyback program. The company intends to repurchase up to 5,000,000 shares of its common stock via the OTC market between April 11 and June 10, 2025, using internal funds. The total repurchase amount will not exceed NT$600 million, with the price range set at NT$59 to NT$120 per share. The repurchased shares, representing 6.72% of total shares outstanding, will be canceled in due course, ensuring that the company’s capital structure and financial stability remain unaffected.
