UMC Reports Third Quarter 2014 Results

Global expansion to ensure long term growth; significant 28nm ramp in 4Q

(PRNewswire) —

Third Quarter 2014 Overview[1]:

Revenue: NT$35.21 billion (US$1.16 billion)

United Microelectronics Corporation (NYSE: UMC; TWSE: 2303) ("UMC" or "The Company"), a leading global semiconductor foundry, today announced its consolidated operating results for the third quarter of 2014.

Revenue was NT$35.21 billion, with gross margin at 21.5% and operating margin at 4.8%. Net income attributable to the stockholders of the parent was NT$2.92 billion, with earnings per ordinary share of NT$0.23.

Mr. Po-Wen Yen, CEO of UMC, said, "In the third quarter, our foundry revenue grew 2.9% sequentially to NT$33.51 billion. Foundry operating margin was 8.8%. Overall capacity utilization reached 93%, led by increasing demand from communication products such as handsets and tablet devices, bringing wafer shipments to 1.462 million 8-inch equivalent wafers. Moreover, 24% of our revenue came from 40nm, while 28nm contribution rose from 1% to 3% quarter-over-quarter, demonstrating the sustained traction of UMC's leading edge geometries. Our 28nm yield progress for poly-SiON & gate-last, High-K Metal Gate products has continued to improve, which will drive significant production ramp during the fourth quarter. This progress will help attract multiple waves of new customers and products to strengthen UMC's 28nm growth and further diversify our customer base in advanced nodes."

CEO Yen continued, "UMC has collaborated with Asian regional partners for capacity deployment plans with the intention to expand our operating scale, strengthen efficiency and capture additional market share. This cooperative model will establish regional manufacturing centers that will build economy of scale to increase productivity and serve local markets, while helping UMC's global customers mitigate geographical risks in the supply chain. UMC's recent announcement with Fujitsu Semiconductor and our joint venture in Xiamen illustrates these collaborative efforts. Our foundry alliance with Fujitsu includes a 40nm licensing agreement which will enable UMC to better serve the Japanese local market, including automotive, industrial, consumer electronics, and other related sectors. Recently, we also announced an investment venture with Xiamen Municipal People's Government and FuJian Electronics & Information Group to establish a 12" fab in China for 40nm and 55nm foundry services, subject to approval by Taiwan government authorities. Meanwhile, UMC's dedicated engineering team continues to work on 10nm and 14nm advanced technologies in our Taiwan headquarters to ensure the company's next stage of growth. Our differentiated approach via global expansion, combined with the leadership in advanced manufacturing technologies, will serve as the engine that drives UMC's growth to enhance corporate profitability and provide long-term returns for our shareholders."

During 3Q14, foundry revenue increased 2.9% QoQ to NT$33.51 billion while New Business segment revenue, mainly consisting of solar subsidiary companies, decreased 48.2% sequentially to NT$1.72 billion, leading to a consolidated revenue of NT$35.21 billion, a 1.8% quarterly decline. Gross profit was NT$7.56 billion, or 21.5% of revenue. Operating income was NT$1.69 billion, or 4.8% of consolidated revenue, primarily due to a NT$602 million net other operating expense, mainly from an impairment loss in a solar subsidiary company during 3Q14. Net income attributable to the stockholders of the parent in 3Q14 was NT$2.92 billion, compared to NT$3.48 billion in 2Q14.

Earnings per ordinary share for the quarter were NT$0.23. Earnings per ADS were US$0.038. The basic weighted average number of outstanding shares in 3Q14 was 12,500,808,739, compared with 12,489,095,718 shares in 2Q14 and 12,459,978,088 shares in 3Q13. The diluted weighted average number of outstanding shares was 12,582,502,645 in 3Q14, compared with 12,607,860,758 shares in 2Q14 and 13,201,315,449 shares in 3Q13. The fully diluted share count on September 30, 2014 was approximately 12,781,655,000. On September 30, 2014, UMC held 200 million treasury shares acquired from the 15th share buy-back programs.

Detailed Financials Section

Foundry revenue increased by 2.9% to NT$33.51 billion due to sustained demand while New Business segment declined 48.2% to NT$1.72 billion due to a global slowdown in the solar sector, resulting in consolidated revenue of NT$35.21 billion. Cost of goods sold remained relatively flat from last quarter. Research and development expenses increased 4.3% to NT$3.47 billion. Net other operating expenses of NT$602 million was mostly due to an impairment loss from a solar subsidiary company.

Capacity[4] for Foundry Segment

Capacity during the third quarter was 1,586K 8-inch equivalent wafers. The difference of 11K 8-inch equivalent wafers during 3Q14 compared to 2Q14 was primarily due to the change in capacity profile at Fab8D and the capacity upgrades at Fab12i. Fourth quarter¡¦s estimated capacity will be approximately 1,577K 8-inch equivalent wafer, the net result of 28nm capacity expansion at Fab12A with current capacity upgrades at Fab12i.
