[Edaily Reporter Kim Hyun-ah ] Quality Reliability Technology Inc.(405100), a provider of comprehensive semiconductor verification solutions, continued its trend of improved performance, driven by growing demand for semiconductor verification in cutting-edge industries such as artificial intelligence (AI) and aerospace. As high-value-added evaluation services expanded, operating profit increased by more than 50%, and the operating profit margin reached double digits.

Quality Reliability Technology Inc. announced on the 13th that it recorded cumulative consolidated revenue of 57.8 billion won and operating profit of 5.9 billion won for the third quarter of this year. Compared to the same period last year, revenue increased by 11.7% and operating profit by 54.9%. The cumulative operating profit margin rose by 2.8 percentage points, from 7.3% to 10.1%.

Third-quarter results alone showed revenue of 18.9 billion won and operating profit of 1.7 billion won.

The improvement in performance was driven by high-value-added verification services in the aerospace and next-generation semiconductor sectors. This was due to increased demand for “upscreening” tests—which provide additional verification of the reliability of aerospace semiconductors—and for the evaluation and analysis of glass substrates, a next-generation semiconductor packaging material.

The company explained that the verification market is expanding as the use of high-performance semiconductors increases due to the proliferation of AI data centers, and as demand grows for semiconductors requiring high reliability in the aerospace and defense sectors.

Quality Reliability Technology Inc. plans to continue its growth momentum in the fourth quarter. The delivery of radio frequency (RF) reliability evaluation equipment to a European defense contractor—an order secured earlier this year—is set to begin in earnest and will be reflected in the company’s financial results.

The company is also preparing new business initiatives. It plans to launch reliability evaluation and comprehensive analysis services for AI data center servers, as well as new ventures in the aerospace sector, in the near future. The strategy is to diversify revenue streams by combining its existing testing and analysis services with the sale of in-house developed evaluation equipment.

The company is also expanding its overseas operations. It intends to secure global clients by increasing the overseas supply of its proprietary equipment and strengthening its on-site reliability evaluation services in the U.S.

A Quality Reliability Technology Inc. official stated, “Increased demand for high-value-added evaluation services in high-tech industries has led to improved financial performance and the achievement of a double-digit operating profit margin,” adding, “We will ensure the smooth delivery of overseas equipment in the fourth quarter and continue our growth in 2027 by targeting new markets such as AI data centers and the aerospace sector.”
