Current IssueThe Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.
Fueling the Workforce Pipeline
We take a hard look at fueling the workforce pipeline, specifically at the early introduction of manufacturing concepts and business to young people in this issue of PCB007 Magazine.

Hana Microelectronics Reports 2024 Financial Results
February 28, 2025 | Hana Microelectronics GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Hana Microelectronics Group ("Hana") today announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Key Highlights:
- Sales Revenue: Decreased by 5% year-over-year to THB 24,801 million in 2024, down from THB 26,152 million in 2023. In USD terms, sales revenue decreased by 6% to USD 703 million in 2024, compared to USD 751 million in 2023.
- Earnings from Operations: Decreased by 53% to THB 845 million in 2024, down from THB 1,787 million in 2023.
- Gross Profit: Decreased by THB 786 million, with gross margin declining to 9% in 2024 from 11% in 2023.
- Operating Margin: Decreased to 3% in 2024 from 7% in 2023.
- Exceptional Items: Included a THB 1,844 million impact, comprising a general impairment provision for Powermaster and a gain of THB 299 million from the final payment related to the termination of the Credit Suisse Asset Management (Switzerland) AG Supply Chain Fund in 2021.
The 5% decrease in group sales (THB) in 2024 was primarily attributed to the ongoing downturn in the semiconductor cycle. The 6% decline in USD sales reflected a similar trend. The average THB/USD exchange rate weakened by 1% in 2024.
- The Microelectronics divisions' sales revenue in USD decreased by 1% year-over-year.
- Sales in Lamphun decreased by 3% (THB: -2%), while sales in Jiaxing increased by 5% (THB: 7%).
- IC assembly sales declined by 20% (THB: -19%), with IC AYT sales down 19% (THB: -18%) and IC JXG sales down 20% (THB: -19%).
- Hana Technologies Inc. (HTI) reported a 15% increase in sales (THB: 17%).
The decrease in gross profit and gross margin was due to lower sales in the IC divisions and increased operational losses at IC Korea. The operating margin decline was driven by lower sales revenue, gross profit, and other income. Selling, general, and administrative (SGA) expenses, including R&D, increased by 4% in 2024.
