**Everlight's Revenues Slowed Last Year Amid Competitive Pressures and New Market Opportunities**

Everlight, a leading Taiwanese LED packaging company, experienced a slowdown in revenue growth last year due to intensified competition from mainland Chinese manufacturers. The pricing pressure on its products increased, and the usual seasonal demand did not have the same impact as before, leading to a 6.6% annual revenue decline. Analysts also expect a significant drop in profitability this year. In response, Everlight plans to continue adjusting its product mix to improve margins, though short-term revenue growth is expected to be cautious.
Over the years, Everlight has diversified its applications. Currently, about 35% of its revenue comes from consumer electronics and mobile devices, 25% from backlighting, 20% from invisible LEDs, and 15-20% from general lighting. Another 5% comes from other niche applications. Among these, small-pitch LED displays, infrared LEDs, automotive lighting, and ambient or special lighting are key areas where the company is actively investing.
Although automotive lighting currently accounts for around 5% of total revenue, Everlight has been certified by major European, Japanese, and South Korean automakers. The company has also improved its supply capabilities for automotive lighting products. It is anticipated that the proportion of automotive lighting could reach nearly 10% by the end of 2018.
In the small-pitch LED display market, Everlight has a strong foundation. Many of the top Chinese manufacturers in this field are its customers, and the company is gradually upgrading its product specifications to 0808 and 0606 sizes. This is expected to drive a 20% increase in shipments this year.
Regarding Mini LED technology, which is set to enter mass production this year, Everlight is well-positioned given its experience in high-end small-pitch displays. The company may explore new opportunities in outdoor and commercial LED billboards, potentially adding another source of growth.
Despite maintaining a leadership position in several technologies, Everlight faces challenges such as rising competition from mainland players, more OEM orders shifting to local manufacturers, and increasing price pressures. Additionally, the limited market size and revenue contribution from automotive and specialty lighting applications have contributed to the 6% year-on-year revenue decline, marking the lowest level in four years. With the Lunar New Year holiday affecting early-quarter performance, the first quarter is still expected to remain weak.
In the fourth quarter of last year, Everlight’s revenue declined to 6.725 billion NTD, a 2.58% drop compared to the previous quarter. The full-year revenue totaled approximately 27.337 billion NTD, down 6.8% from the previous year. Earnings per share for the first three quarters were estimated at around 2.2 yuan, with the full-year EPS possibly reaching just under 3 yuan, the lowest in nearly five years.
