ASIA PACIFIC WIRE & CABLE CORP LTD (APWC) SEC Filings

ASIA PACIFIC WIRE & CABLE CORP LTD (APWC) reported that shareholders approved all resolutions at its 2026 Annual General Meeting held on September 11, 2026, and management presented an operational and financial update for the first half of 2026.

For H1 2026, revenue rose 17.6% year-over-year to US$267.5 million, while EBITDA margin expanded to 4.56% from 1.66%. Cash balances increased to US$64.6 million, supported by a rights offering completed in Q1 2026. Management highlighted a pipeline of approximately SGD 1 billion in Singapore power infrastructure projects over the next four years and outlined plans to develop Singapore as a regional hub for energy storage, AI data center and infrastructure solutions.

The company also described strategic expansion beyond traditional wire and cable into energy storage, EPC and O&M services, on-train communication systems, public transportation infrastructure, and potential North American investments centered around Texas, with discussions ongoing with partners and customers.

Asia Pacific Wire & Cable Corporation Limited reported solid top-line growth for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, with revenue of $136.6 million, up 4% sequentially and 8% year over year, driven mainly by higher international copper prices and execution of public-sector contracts.

Operating profit rose to $3.4 million, up 36% from a year earlier, and gross profit margin expanded to 8.1% from 6.8%. However, earnings per share were $0.01, down 80% from the prior quarter and 67% from a year ago, as higher share count diluted profit attributable to equity holders.

By segment, North Asia revenue grew 29% year over year to $29.5 million, Thailand rose 17% to $51.7 million, while Rest of World declined 7% to $55.4 million. Cash and cash equivalents were $64.6 million, but there was an operating cash outflow of $18.0 million in the quarter, reflecting inventory build and higher raw material costs; short-term borrowings increased, contributing to $10.5 million of financing cash inflow.

Asia Pacific Wire & Cable Corporation Limited will hold its 2026 Annual General Meeting on September 11, 2026 in Plano, Texas, with July 31, 2026 as the shareholder record date. Agenda items include approving prior minutes, setting the board size range, electing up to seven directors and approving director compensation, and ratifying PricewaterhouseCoopers Taiwan as independent auditor for fiscal 2026.

Shareholders will also vote on increasing authorized share capital to US$5,000,000 and amending the Bye-Laws, a step the company states is intended to support its long-term operational roadmap and financial flexibility, while noting it has no current plans for imminent share issuances. The meeting will present audited 2025 financial statements, first-half 2026 results, a report on the unexecuted reverse stock split, and a strategic update focused on expanding into Battery Energy Storage Systems and AI data center infrastructure in Asia-Pacific and evaluating a prospective North American production facility.

Asia Pacific Wire & Cable reported strong year-over-year growth for Q1 2026, with revenue of $130.8 million, up 30% from a year ago but slightly below the prior quarter’s $133.8 million. Earnings per share were $0.05, a sharp improvement from a loss of $0.07 a year earlier, though down from $0.17 in Q4 2025.

Gross margin expanded to 8.2% from 3.6% a year ago, helped by a better product mix and higher copper prices. Segment performance was mixed: Thailand grew 41% year over year, North Asia rose 26%, and ROW increased 23% but declined sequentially.

The company recorded a one-time gain of about $1.0 million from disposing of an investment. Liquidity strengthened as cash and cash equivalents rose to $73.2 million, largely driven by a rights offering that generated $34.1 million in net proceeds, while operating cash flow turned positive at $1.6 million.
