Operational Results Analysis for the Third Quarter Ended March 31, 2023
Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $167.6 million, as compared to $155.7 millon for the same period of the prior fiscal year, representing an increase of 7.7%. In terms of revenues by type, integrated contracts revenue increased by 4.5% to $139.1 million, products sales revenue increased by 45.3% to $10.4 million, and services revenue increased by 17.9% to $18.1 million. Unfavorable impact from depreciation of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar has adversely affected our revenues in the past three fiscal quarters. Based on current expectations of Hollysys’ management, such unfavorable foreign exchange rate change is expected to adversely affect our full-year revenue for fiscal year 2023; however, the actual results may differ materially.
The following table sets forth the Company’s total revenues by segment for the periods indicated.
