TOKYO, Feb 12 (Pulse News Wire) -- Prestige International Inc. (4290.T), a leading provider of photomask solutions, reported its third quarter earnings for the fiscal year ending March 2026 on February 12, revealing robust growth despite some challenges. The company's revenue increased by 7.7% compared to the same period last year, reaching ¥96,234 million, while operating income decreased slightly to ¥19,925 million, marking an operating margin of 20.7%, down from 24.6% in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.
The semiconductor market has shown strong demand for AI and data center-related products, driving advancements in miniaturization. This trend is particularly evident in the external sales of photomasks, where advanced node products have seen consistent growth due to the concentration of resources among internal players on cutting-edge nodes. Foundry-focused sales were also robust, with both advanced and core product lines performing well against the backdrop of overall market demand.
Despite these positive trends, Prestige faced headwinds that affected profitability. Operating margins declined primarily due to higher depreciation expenses associated with upfront investments and one-time costs related to the company’s listing. Adjusted EBITDA margins stood at 36.3%, reflecting a slight decrease from the prior year's level. Notably, the company's EBITDA margin was 35.9%, showing a reduction of 1.5 percentage points from the previous year.
In response to growing demand, especially in China amid geopolitical risks and tariff concerns, Prestige plans to enhance production capacity. Additionally, the company announced the establishment of a new manufacturing facility in Singapore to capture increasing local demand for photomasks. These strategic moves underscore the company's commitment to investing in advanced technology nodes, which remain key drivers of future growth.
