Acer Inc. has announced a leadership transition at its Pan-America operations headquarters, as current regional president Gregg Prendergast is set to retire at the end of 2025. Effective January 1, 2026, Chris Chiang and Germano Couy will take over as co-general managers, jointly overseeing operations across North and Latin America. Both will report directly to Chairman and CEO Jason Chen.
Chiang, who joined Acer in 2007, currently serves as vice president of product and business management for the Pan-America region. Since 2016, he has led the company's product strategy, market expansion, and portfolio management initiatives, while overseeing diverse multinational teams to strengthen Acer's presence in the Americas.
Couy brings over three decades of experience in sales, business development, and leadership within the Latin American technology industry. Currently, Acer's general manager for Latin America, he joined the company in 2014 and has been instrumental in driving operational optimization and leading multicultural teams to strengthen the company's regional performance.
Solid financial performance in 3Q25
Acer's board of directors has approved the company's consolidated financial results for the third quarter of 2025, reporting revenue of NT$73.399 billion (US$2.37 billion). This represents an increase of 10.3% from the previous quarter and is nearly flat compared with the same period a year earlier.
Gross profit rose 21.7% sequentially and 6.7% annually to NT$8.19 billion, with a gross margin of 11.2%. Operating income surged 105.1% from the previous quarter to NT$1.505 billion, delivering an operating margin of 2.1%. Net income after tax reached NT$1.11 billion, up 2.3% quarter over quarter.
For the first three quarters of 2025, Acer posted cumulative consolidated revenue of NT$201.269 billion, up 1.3% year over year. Gross profit increased 1.6% to NT$21.396 billion, maintaining a 10.6% margin, while operating income stood at NT$3.278 billion with a 1.6% margin. Net income after tax totaled NT$2.71 billion.
Diversification strategy gains traction
Acer's ongoing efforts to diversify its business portfolio beyond traditional PCs and monitors continue to pay off. Non-PC and monitor segments accounted for 33.6% of third-quarter 2025 revenue and 31.8% of total revenue for the first nine months, reflecting steady progress in broadening its revenue mix.
Meanwhile, Acer's service subsidiary, Highpoint Service Network (HSN), has passed the OTC Review Committee evaluation and has received approval from the Taipei Exchange Board of Directors for public listing, marking another milestone in Acer's strategy to strengthen multiple revenue streams.
