TOYKO -- CMK reported second quarter consolidated revenue increased 1.4% from last year to 19.75 billion yen ($148 million).

Consolidated revenue rose 171% to 599 million yen, and the consolidated net income jumped 558% to 432 million yen.

The top 50 PCB fabricator cited chip shortages and supply chain chaos and falling production at auto manufacturers, offset by higher demand in China.

Regionally sales in Japan shrank 6% compared with a year ago, while sales to China increased 22% and Southeast Asia rose 21%. Sales to Europea and America fell 3%.
