It earns revenue by providing electronics manufacturing services along with engineering and supply chain support across a global production footprint.

Key risks
- Interest expense surged 94% YoY to $11.6M on six months, with $321.8M total debt outstanding and $86.8M now classified current.
- Margins remain thin: Q2 gross margin just 8.2% and net margin 2.0%, leaving little cushion if EMS demand softens further.
- Operating cash flow negative $17.9M for the half on bloated working capital — inventories $455.7M and receivables $309.7M against $39.9M cash.
