HSINCHU, Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES INC. ("ChipMOS" or the "Company") (Taiwan Stock Exchange: 8150 and NASDAQ: IMOS), an industry leading provider of outsourced semiconductor assembly and test services ("OSAT"), today reported consolidated financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. All U.S. dollar figures cited in this press release are based on the exchange rate of NT$32.24 against US$1.00 as of September 29, 2023.

All the figures were prepared in accordance with Taiwan-International Financial Reporting Standards ("Taiwan-IFRS").

Revenue for the third quarter of 2023 was NT$5,581.5 million or US$173.1 million, an increase of 2.5% from NT$5,444.1 million or US$168.9 million in the second quarter of 2023 and an increase of 6.2% from NT$5,254.0 million or US$163.0 million for the same period in 2022.  The Company noted that while it may see some near-term lumpiness, its long-term business trends are strong, with inventories bottoming out and healthy long-term demand dynamics, as it benefits from diversity in its product line and leadership in key areas like DDIC.

Net non-operating income in the third quarter of 2023 was NT$230.9 million or US$7.2 million, compared to NT$222.4 million or US$6.9 million in the second quarter of 2023, and NT$403.3 million or US$12.5 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase of net non-operating income compared to the second quarter of 2023 is mainly due to the increase of the foreign exchange gains of NT$17 million or US$0.5 million and share of profit of associates accounted for using equity method of NT$9 million or US$0.3 million, which was partially offset by a NT$17 million or US$0.5 million decrease of interest income.  The difference between the third quarter of 2022 is mainly due to a decrease of foreign exchange gains of NT$131 million or US$4.1 million and share of profit of associates accounted for using equity method of NT$79 million or US$2.5 million. This was partially offset by the positive valuation impact of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of NT$37 million or US$1.1 million from loss on valuation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of NT$33 million or US$1.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 to gain on valuation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of NT$4 million or US$0.1 million in the third quarter of 2023.

Net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company for the third quarter of 2023 was NT$580.6 million or US$18.0 million, and NT$0.80 or US$0.02 per basic common share, as compared to NT$628.5 million or US$19.5 million, and NT$0.86 or US$0.03 per basic common share in the second quarter of 2023.  This compares to NT$671.8 million or US$20.8 million, and NT$0.92 or US$0.03 per basic common share in the third quarter of 2022.  Net earnings for the third quarter of 2023 were US$0.50 per basic ADS, compared to US$0.54 per basic ADS for the second quarter of 2023 and US$0.57 per basic ADS in the third quarter of 2022.

Free cash flow for the first nine months of 2023 was NT$1,089.0 million or US$33.8 million, with a balance of cash and cash equivalents was NT$11,312.0 million or US$350.9 million.
