ELTA Technology [ELTA-TIB (8487)] held a meeting of its Board of Directors today and approved the financial statements for the third quarter of 2025. Consolidated revenue for the quarter reached NT$265 million, with after-tax net profit of NT$26.577 million and EPS of NT$1.00. Compared to the same period last year, results showed a slight decline, primarily due to the exceptional benefit generated from ELTA’s broadcast rights for the Paris Olympics in the previous year. From January to September, cumulative revenue reached NT$802 million, with after-tax net profit of NT$80.02 million and EPS of NT$3.02, fully aligning with the company’s operational objective of achieving “No Off-Season.”
In 2025, ELTA will offer an even broader and more competitive lineup of sports content, including MLB, Nippon Professional Baseball, the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL), BWF badminton, WTT table tennis, the NFL, major European football leagues, the Australian/French/Wimbledon Grand Slams, World Athletics flagship events, ISU figure skating, F1 racing, and various domestic grassroots competitions. Many of these rights are exclusive or Taiwan master broadcast rights. With more than 15,000 hours of live broadcasts annually, ELTA has built a stable and loyal base of viewers and subscribers. Long-term subscription users increased by 20%, becoming a key driver of sustained profitability.
Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, the excitement generated by the early November MLB World Series, together with growth in long-term OTT subscriptions, is expected to support stable profitability consistent with the performance of the first three quarters. Regarding the NBA broadcast rights issue, ELTA emphasized that it will not affect the company’s full-year operating results.
The year 2026 will be packed with major global sporting events—including the World Baseball Classic (WBC), the FIFA World Cup™, and the Asian Games—occurring in the same year for the first time. Historically, each of these events has contributed substantial growth momentum on top of ELTA’s existing operational base. Notably, these three events fall during key holiday or vacation periods—March (post-Lunar New Year), June (Dragon Boat Festival and summer break), and September (Mid-Autumn period)—and are expected to generate multiple peaks in viewership throughout the year. In addition, ELTA’s drama and variety programming continue to deliver steady ratings performance, contributing diversified revenue streams for the company.
To prepare for the influx of international sporting events in 2026, ELTA has launched a comprehensive upgrade of its primary and backup production control systems, integrating AI-powered technologies to enhance production quality and the viewer experience. These upgrades will strengthen ELTA’s ability to deliver high-standard, internationally aligned broadcast services. The company anticipates that these technological advancements will attract more subscribers, boost viewership ratings, and further enhance overall operating performance.
