TSMC Reports Second Quarter EPS of NT$0.94

HSIN-CHU, Taiwan, July 30 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- TSMC (NYSE: TSM) today announced consolidated revenue of NT$74.21 billion, net income of NT$24.44 billion, and diluted earnings per share of NT$0.94 (US$0.14 per ADS unit) for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Year-over-year, second quarter revenue decreased 15.8% while net income and diluted EPS decreased 15% and 13.9%, respectively. Compared to first quarter of 2009, second quarter results represent an 87.9% increase in revenue, and an increase of 1467.9% in net income and an increase of 1466.5% in diluted EPS. All figures were prepared in accordance with R.O.C. GAAP on a consolidated basis.

Gross margin for the quarter was 46.2%, operating margin was 33.9%, and net margin was 32.9%.

As a result of improved demand outlook, customers' companies launching new products, and customers' inventory restocking, second quarter saw a sharp rebound in the demand for semiconductors across all applications.

Advanced process technologies (0.13-micron and below) accounted for 65% of wafer revenues. 90-nanometer process technology accounted for 23% of wafer revenues, 65-nanometer 28%, and 45/40 nanometer, with wafer shipments tripling those of 1Q, exceeded 1% of total wafer sales.

"Both our macroeconomic forecast and booking trend indicate that we will have a good third quarter," said Lora Ho, VP and Chief Financial Officer of TSMC. "Based on our current business outlook, management expects overall performance for third quarter 2009 to be as follows":

    -- Revenue is expected to be between NT$88 billion and NT$90 billion;
    -- Gross profit margin is expected to be between 46.5% and 48.5%;
    -- Operating profit margin is expected to be between 35% and 37%.

Lora Ho further said: "Due to improved demand outlook for 2010 and a more aggressive technology strategy, TSMC 2009 capital expenditure is expected to be above both the 2008 expenditure of US$1.9 billion and the previously guided US$1.5 billion, and is expected to be around US$2.3 billion."

    2Q09 Gross Margin                                46.2%



    Gross Profit Analysis:

Gross margin in 2Q09 was 46.2%, up 27.3 percentage points from 1Q09. A sharply increased utilization rate contributed 48.2 percentage points to gross margin, while several other elements acted to offset partially the increase in gross margin, including a lower percentage of total revenue from non-wafer- related business (-8.4 percentage points), one-time and miscellaneous items (- 6.7 percentage points), increase in employee profit sharing (-2.0 percentage points), adverse effect of ROC SFAS No.10 on inventory valuation (-1.5 percentage points), decline in standard gross margin (-1.4 percentage points), and unfavorable exchange rate (-0.9 percentage point).

Gross margin in 2Q09 increased 0.6 percentage point compared with 45.6% in 2Q08, due to favorable exchange rate (+3.7 percentage points), one-time and miscellaneous items (+2.8 percentage points), partially offset by lower utilization rate (-4.1 percentage points), negative impact from the adoption of ROC SFAS No.10 (-1.5 percentage points), and decline in standard gross margin (-0.3 percentage points).

Research and development expenditures increased by NT$1.37 billion sequentially, mainly due to higher level of employee profit sharing and more development expenses, mainly related to 28nm and 22nm technologies.

SG&A expenses increased by NT$1.53 billion from 1Q09 level. The increase was mainly due to higher level of employee profit sharing and opening expense related to Fab 12 Phase 4.

For 2Q09, combined result from non-operating income and long-term investment gain was a net gain of NT$1.26 billion.

Non-operating income was NT$1.15 billion, higher than NT$0.35 billion in 1Q09, primarily due to income from litigation compensation, higher disposal gains and lower impairment losses of financial assets, partially offset by less interest income.

Net investment gain was NT$0.11 billion, improving from a net loss of NT$0.81 billion in 1Q09, mainly due to business recovery in VIS and SSMC.

Liquidity Analysis:

At the end of 2Q09, total current assets increased by NT$40.86 billion to NT$309.42 billion, mainly contributed by the free cash flow of NT$17.10 billion (please refer to page 6) generated during this quarter.

Total current liabilities increased by NT$84.26 billion in 2Q09, primarily resulting from the increases of cash dividend payable and payables to contractors and equipment suppliers.

Net working capital was NT$179.79 billion and current ratio decreased to 2.4x.

Receivable and Inventory Days:

Sequentially, days of receivable decreased by eight days to 30 days in 2Q09, mainly resulting from a slower growth in average receivables than in revenue.

    Days of inventory decreased by two days to 42 days.

    Capacity:

Total managed capacity was 2,483K 8-inch equivalent wafers in the second quarter, decreased by 0.5% from 2,495K in 1Q09, mainly due to capacity migration to higher nodes.

Total managed capacity in 2009 is expected to reach 9,937K 8-inch equivalent wafers, representing an increase of 6.0% from 9,377K 8-inch equivalent wafers in 2008, while capacity for 12-inch wafer fabs is expected to increase by 10%, reaching 41% of total capacity.

TSMC cautions readers that forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are based on TSMC's current expectations. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons including, among others, risks associated with cyclicality and market conditions in the semiconductor industry; demand and supply for TSMC's foundry manufacturing capacity in particular and for foundry manufacturing capacity in general; intense competition; the failure of one or more significant customers to continue to place the same level of orders with us; TSMC's ability to remain a technological leader in the semiconductor industry; TSMC's ability to manage its capacity; TSMC's ability to obtain, preserve and defend its intellectual property rights; natural disasters and other unexpected events which may disrupt production; and exchange rate fluctuations. Additional information as to these and other risk factors that may cause TSMC's actual results to differ materially from TSMC's forward-looking statements may be found in TSMC's Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 17, 2009, and such other documents as TSMC may file with, or submit to, the SEC from time to time.
