NSP reported first quarter sales of NT$4.63 billion (US$151.19 million), compared to sales of around US$237.6 million in the prior-year period, which was well ahead of the US anti-dumping rulings sanctioned.

NSP’s sales declined further (5.98%) in April, compared to the previous month to US$1.557 billion (US$50.84 million) but still a 39% decline from the prior-year period. 

The company reported a first quarter net loss after tax of NT$492 million (US$16.06 million).

Due to overall expected global market demand in 2015, NSP said it expected sales to recover as the year progresses.
