□ 1Q result and forecast by business unit
 
Turnover of the Components Unit in the 1st quarter increased by 11% compared to the previous quarter and 2% compared to the same period in the previous year due to expansion in industrial MLCC turnover, including high-capacity products and servers to strategic accounts, resulting in KRW 857.6 billion.
Although it expects demand for smartphones and electronic products to decrease as a result of COVID-19 in the 2nd quarter, strong demand for PC and server products is expected to continue.
Samsung Electro-Mechanics plans to operate its factories flexibly considering market supply and demand.
 
The Module Unit recorded turnover of KRW 983.2 billion, showing an increase of 53% compared to the previous quarter and 4% compared to the same period in the previous year, as a result of an increase in high specification multicamera modules and WiFi communication modules for new flagship models of strategic accounts.
Camera module turnover is expected to decrease as a result of COVID-19 and seasonality in the 2nd quarter, but it plans to recover turnover by increasing sales of high specification camera modules, including folded zoom, for its Chinese accounts.
 
Although turnover for its Substrate Unit decreased by 11% compared to the previous quarter due to a decrease in OLED RFPCB supply, an increase in turnover for PC CPU and 5G antenna packaged substrates resulted in turnover of KRW 383.7 billion, which is a 37% increase compared to the same period in the previous year.
With demand for PC packaged substrate is expected to stay strong in the 2nd quarter, it plans to increase sales of high value-add packaged substrate, including 5G and thin sheet CPU.
