(IMI), a leading worldwide provider of electronics manufacturing services (EMS) and power semiconductor assembly and test services (SATS), posted US$853.9 thousand in net income in the first three months of 2012, or a 128 percent year-on-year growth due to the company’s business expansion in Europe andMexico, and reduced operating expenses. IMI’s consolidated sales revenues of US$152 million improved by 24 percent year over year.

Arthur Tan, IMI president and chief executive officer, said, “With our company’s implementation of a global geographic expansion, we have realized a diversity in markets and operations.

The company’s operations inChinaandSingaporeposted US$61.7 million in combined revenues, a decline of 5 percent year-on-year due primarily to a reduction in turnkey sales to a customer in the telecommunication infrastructure market. IMI’s Philippine operations generated US$38.2 million revenues, a 4 percent year-on-year growth because of strong programs in the consumer and automotive segments.

PSi Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of IMI, recorded US$10.9 million in revenues.

We expect more business in Asia given the economists’ outlook of high growth rate forChinaand the rest of emergingAsia.
