Amkor Technology Reports Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2018

(1) Q4 2018 net income includes a $17 million discrete income tax charge, or $0.07 per diluted share, driven by finalizing the accounting for U.S. tax reform. Q4 2017 net income includes a $42 million discrete income tax benefit, or $0.17 per diluted share, due to the estimated impact of U.S. tax reform. Full year 2017 net income also includes an after-tax gain of $82 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, from the sale of our K1 factory in Korea.

(2) EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP measures. The reconciliations to the comparable GAAP measures are included below under "Selected Operating Data."

Cash and cash equivalents were $682 million, and total debt was $1.3 billion, at December 31, 2018.

Business Outlook

“We expect first quarter 2019 revenues to be around $880 million. Our first quarter revenue guidance reflects the inventory correction currently underway in the smartphone market," said Kelley.
