Transcend Information saw revenues grow 21% sequentially to NT$2.84 billion (US$90 million) in March 2010, boosted by more working days, according to the memory module house. Accumulated revenues through the month amounted to NT$8.11 billion, a 3.9% increase from 2009.
Having seen February revenues dropping 20% sequentially and 8.3% on year, Transcend managed an on-year revenue growth of 13.9% in March. The company's efforts in product mix improvement have allowed it to be less affected by DRAM price fluctuations over the past year.
Rival A-Data Technology saw March 2010 revenues jump 142.9% from a year earlier, and revenues for the first quarter also rose over 100% on year to NT$11.73 billion, the company has revealed.
Transcend said NAND flash-based products accounted for 49.6% of its total March revenues, and DRAM modules 30.6%. Its strategic products such as digital photo frames and portable electronics devices made up the remainder.
Transcend's total shipments of flash disk drives and memory cards totaled 4.92 million units in March, compared to 5.63 million shipped in March 2009, according to the company. Meanwhile, March shipments of its DRAM modules also slid to 854,000 units from 1.25 million a year earlier.
However, Transcend saw March shipments of its strategic products reach 406,000 units, showing a rise from 310,000 units shipped in the same month of 2009, according to the company.
Transcend said it is on track to finish construction of a new plant in Taipei, Taiwan in the second half of 2010. Transcend plans to have the new site focus mainly on production of the company's own-brand products, and all of its OEM production will be handled by its existing facilities in Shanghai, China.
