Nanya Technology's third-quarter consolidated revenue was NT$133.649 billion (approximately $4.2 billion), up 61.9% quarter-over-quarter and 611.7% year-over-year, also a quarterly record. Gross profit reached NT$114.482 billion (approximately $3.6 billion), with operating income of NT$106.894 billion (approximately $3.4 billion) and an operating margin of 80%, up 6.3 percentage points quarter-over-quarter and a dramatic 74 percentage points higher than the same period last year. The company noted that third-quarter shipment volumes declined 4% to 6% from the prior quarter, meaning the sharp jump in revenue and profit was driven primarily by strong DRAM contract price momentum.
