The company's gross profit also saw a substantial rise, climbing to $239 million, up from $158 million, resulting in a gross margin of 14.2%, compared to 11.9% in the prior year.

In terms of operational developments, Amkor's capital expenditures for the quarter totaled $224.6 million, significantly higher than the $79.9 million spent in the same period last year. This investment was primarily directed towards advanced packaging and test equipment, as well as the construction of a new facility in Arizona, which is expected to enhance the company's manufacturing capabilities. The company also reported a net cash inflow from operating activities of $145.1 million, a substantial increase from $24.1 million in the previous year, indicating improved cash flow management.

Amkor's customer base and market presence continue to expand, with notable growth in the communications and automotive sectors, which increased by 42% and 28%, respectively. The computing and consumer markets also saw growth of 19% and 4%. The company is strategically positioned to capitalize on trends in high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, and automotive technologies, which are driving demand for advanced semiconductor packaging solutions. As of March 31, 2026, Amkor had cash and cash equivalents of $1.12 billion, alongside short-term investments of $727.3 million, providing a solid liquidity position to support ongoing operations and investments.

Looking ahead, Amkor anticipates continued growth driven by demand for advanced packaging technologies and plans to invest between $2.5 billion and $3.0 billion in capital expenditures throughout 2026.
