Gross profit for the quarter was EUR 25.5 million. Operating profit was EUR 14.8 million, down 29% year-over-year.
Sales for the first nine months of 2010/11 were EUR 364.8 million, higher than expected.
Gross profit for the period was EUR 71.6 million. Operating profit was EUR 40.3 million, up from EUR 4.8 million in the year-ago period. Net earnings were slightly down in December.
Negative factors continue upward pressure on raw materials prices and high volatility in exchange rates, says AT&S.
Net revenues for the full year are expected to be EUR 470 million to EUR 500 million, with strong demand for high-end PCBs.
