1Q Results Top Guidance on Better than Expected Demand, Momentum Continues into 2Q
(PRNewswire) —First Quarter 2014 Overview[1]:
- Revenue: NT$31.69 billion (US$1.04 billion)
- Gross margin: 18.6%; operating margin: 3.0%
- Foundry capacity utilization rate: 81%
- Net income attributable to the stockholders of the parent: NT$1.18 billion (US$38.7 million)
- Earnings per share: NT$0.09; earnings per ADS: US$0.015
United Microelectronics Corporation (NYSE: UMC; TWSE: 2303) ("UMC" or "The Company"), a leading global semiconductor foundry, today announced its consolidated operating results for the first quarter of 2014.
Revenue was NT$31.69 billion, with gross margin at 18.6% and operating margin at 3.0%. Net income attributable to the stockholders of the parent was NT$1.18 billion, with earnings per ordinary share of NT$0.09.
Mr. Po-Wen Yen, CEO of UMC, said, "In the first quarter of 2014, UMC recorded NT$28.71 billion in revenue from the foundry segment, with operating margin from foundry operations of 4.0%. Wafer shipments reached 1.258 million 8-inch equivalent wafers."
CEO Yen added, "In a seasonally quiet quarter, UMC's first quarter of 2014 foundry performance exceeded guidance, driven by continuous chip demand that brought overall capacity utilization to 81%. Growth was led by the computing sector. As a result, contribution from 65nm and below technologies represented 51% of sales, including 20% from 40nm. For 28nm, our communication and consumer customers continue to be encouraged by our sustained yield improvement. While the average 28nm yields have shown stable performance, the continuous rise in our peak wafer yields will be a convincing factor for customers to enter pilot production in the coming months. UMC also continues to focus on capturing fast growing opportunities and further expanding our market share in China. Recently, UMC hosted its 2014 China Technology Forum in Shanghai to demonstrate our manufacturing excellence and comprehensive coverage of semiconductor applications. With 20 years of pure-play foundry experience, our technology leadership in logic and specialty solutions will help us gain additional design-wins in the Chinese fabless industry."
CEO Yen continued, "For the second quarter of 2014, UMC will benefit from the continued growth in customer demand, especially from the communication segment. We expect increased wafer shipments and higher capacity utilization rates to drive better profitability. At the leading-edge, 40nm demand continues to show strength while 28nm business is gaining momentum. We are confident that our engineering team's steady progress in 28nm yield enhancement activities will help UMC to capture key business and achieve strategic goals in the near future. We will continue to execute and take the necessary steps to propel our future growth. In the long run, we will further strengthen our technology solutions and service quality to enhance shareholder returns."

Capacity[5] for Foundry Segment
Capacity during the first quarter was 1,563K 8-inch equivalent wafers. The incremental increase in capacity was due to the advance node capacity expansion at Fab 12A. The estimated installed capacity for the second quarter of 2014 will be 1,597K 8-inch equivalent wafers, due to the capacity expansion mainly from Fab 8N and advanced node expansion at 12" facilities.

Note from UMC Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements in the foregoing announcement are forward looking within the meaning of the U.S. Federal Securities laws, including statements about future outsourcing, wafer capacity, technologies, business relationships and market conditions. Investors are cautioned that actual events and results could differ materially from these statements as a result of a variety of factors, including conditions in the overall semiconductor market and economy; acceptance and demand for products from UMC; and technological and development risks. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in UMC's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its registration statements and reports on Forms F-1, F-3, F-6 and 20-F and 6-K, in each case as amended.

These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual performance, financial condition or results of operations of UMC to be materially different from what is stated or may be implied in such forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that actual events and results could differ materially from those statements as a result of a number of factors including, but not limited to: (i) our dependence upon the frequent introduction of new services and technologies based on the latest developments in our industry; (ii) the intensely competitive semiconductor, communications, consumer electronics and computer industries and markets; (iii) the risks associated with international global business activities; (iv) our dependence upon key personnel; (v) general economic and political conditions; (vi) possible disruptions in commercial activities caused by natural and human-induced events and disasters, including terrorist activity, armed conflict and highly contagious diseases; (vii) reduced end-user purchases relative to expectations and orders; and (viii) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
