GlobalFoundries Inc. (NASDAQ: GFS) reported a double-digit increase in net profit for the first quarter of 2023 when the tech firm’s revenues decreased 5%.
The Santa Clara-headquartered semiconductor company said its March-quarter profit rose to $254 million or $0.46 per share from $178 million or $0.33 per share in the comparable period of 2022. At $0.52 per share, adjusted earnings were up 24% year-over-year.
Meanwhile, first-quarter revenues decreased 5% from last year to $1.84 billion, mainly reflecting weakness in the core Smart Mobile Devices segment. Adjusted EBITDA declined 6% annually to $655 million.
