MediaTek’s gross margin for first-quarter 2017 represented declines of 1pp sequentially and 4.6pp on year. The company posted consolidated revenues of NT$56.08 billion (US$1.86 billion) in the first quarter, down 18.3% on quarter and 0.3% compared to the same period in 2016.

MediaTek saw its net profits climb 29.2% sequentially and 48.4% on year to NT$6.64 billion in the first quarter of 2017, thanks mainly to recognized gains from the sale of its China-based subsidiary AutoChips. EPS for the quarter came to NT$4.29.
