Adata Technology will focus on its profit performance in 2012, looking to expand its high-margin operations, according to the memory module maker.

Having reported losses for the second and third quarters of 2011, Adata managed to turn profitable in the last quarter of the year. Net profits for the fourth quarter were high enough to turn its operation from the red into profitability in 2011.

Looking forward, Adata is looking to increase profitability and better manage risks in 2012, the company said. Adata reported revenues of NT$2.66 billion (US$90.1 million) for March 2012, up 8.7% sequentially. Revenues for the first quarter totaled NT$7.22 billion, an 11.5% decrease on quarter.

In the first quarter, Adata saw sales generated from its DRAM products rise on higher chip prices. Sales of DRAM modules accounted for 42.03% of company revenues in the first quarter, up from 33.99% in fourth-quarter 2011. Sales of NAND flash devices accounted for 30-40% of Adata's first-quarter revenues and those of SSDs and external HDDs took up the remainder.
