Commenting on the results, Dr. Keh-Shew Lu, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Third quarter revenue reflected weaker than expected end customer demand in the consumer, computing and communications markets as well as the overall Asia market. Our original assumption of a market recovery did not materialize during the quarter. Our automotive product revenue in the third quarter remained at a record 19% of revenue, contributing to our combined automotive and industrial revenue being 45% of revenue and above our target model of 40%. However, in the fourth quarter we expect a broad-based slowdown globally in the industrial market as well as softness in the automotive market due to customer inventory adjustments coupled with year-end distributor inventory management, which is in addition to the ongoing delayed recovery in the 3C markets. As a result, our outlook for the fourth quarter is much lower than our typical seasonality.

“Despite the temporarily weaker demand dynamics, we remain focused on the long-term and our product mix improvement initiatives as we continue to invest in R&D for new products, targeting expanded design wins in the automotive and industrial markets. Additionally, we are further developing the process technology in our previously acquired fabrication facilities to build the capability in preparation for the reduction of our wafer service agreements, while also increasing manufacturing cost savings across our operations. These steps represent further enhancements to the actions we’ve taken over the past several years, which have consistently enabled us to deliver increasing growth and profitability and will continue to focus on achieving our next goal of $1 billion in annual gross profit.”

GAAP gross profit for the third quarter 2023 was $155.9 million, or 38.5 percent of revenue, due to the impact of the Company’s wafer service agreements combined with higher facility underutilization costs due to softer than expected demand in the quarter. This compares to $195.4 million, or 41.8 percent of revenue, in the second quarter 2023 and $217.8 million, or 41.8 percent of revenue, in the third quarter of 2022.

GAAP operating expenses for third quarter 2023 were $102.0 million, or 25.2 percent of revenue, and on a non-GAAP basis were $95.6 million, or 23.7 percent of revenue, which excludes $3.8 million of amortization of acquisition-related intangible asset expenses and $2.6 million of restructuring costs. GAAP operating expenses in the second quarter 2023 were $105.8 million, or 22.6 percent of revenue and $105.4 million, or 20.2 percent of revenue, in the third quarter 2022.

Third quarter 2023 GAAP net income was $48.7 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income $82.0 million, or $1.77 per diluted share, in the second quarter 2023 and GAAP net income of $86.4 million, or $1.88 per diluted share in the third quarter 2022.

Third quarter 2023 non-GAAP adjusted net income was $52.5 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, which excluded, net of tax, $3.1 million of acquisition-related intangible asset costs, $1.9 million of restructuring costs and a $0.9 million gain on an equity investment. This compares to non-GAAP adjusted net income of $73.3 million, or $1.59 per diluted share, in the second quarter 2023 and $92.2 million, or $2.00 per diluted share, in the third quarter 2022.
