AAC Technologies Q1 Revenue and Gross Profit Grow 24% and 28% YoY - A Record First Quarter Performance

Solid Performance from Non-Acoustic Segments; Contribute more than 35% of Q1 Sales

HONG KONG, May 11, 2015 - (ACN Newswire) - AAC Technologies Holdings Inc. ("AAC Technologies" or "the Company"; HKEx: 02018), a world-leading miniature technologies solution provider, today announced its unaudited first quarter results for the three months ended 31 March 2015.

AAC Technologies began its 10th year of being a listed company with the highest sales and earnings in any first quarter in the company's history. With our broad product portfolio, revenue and gross profit in the January to March quarter were up 24% and 28% year-on-year to RMB 2,305 million and RMB 956 million respectively. The focus on execution, automation and cost reduction enabled gross profit margin to increase 1.3 percentage points to 41.5%. The non-acoustic segment continued to deliver more than 35% of sales in the first quarter 2015, consecutively, particularly the continued growth of the RF Mechanical solutions business. Net profit grew 25% to RMB 606 million.

Mr. Benjamin Pan, Chief Executive Officer of AAC Technologies, said, "Competition is driving handset manufacturers to deliver devices best suited to what the market desires. Our strong design and production capabilities, aligned with high production automation and efficiency and backed by a consistent high level of investment in R&D, enable us to provide solutions that fit diverse needs from customers in terms of technology upgrades and innovation in different tiers of models. In this way we can win a higher market share in the non-acoustic segments and solidify our leadership in the audio segment. We are committed to identify and evaluate appropriate opportunities to invest in other global technology companies that will create synergy with the Company's existing technology capabilities, such as the recent acquisition of WiSpry, Inc."
