growth in line with rev growth, but 2H26 growth is expected to reaccelerate to be faster

than 1H26. Demand from local customer is clearly strong, but the mgmt also saw that more

and more oversea customers were talking to company to get AMEC’s tools verified, on top

of the existing leading global foundry customer who continue to purchase from them. CEO

increasingly attractive. They are expanding their manufacturing capability aggressively and

the current clean room capacity can support up to 70bn RMB of revenue, leaving ample room

for the multi-year revenue growth.
