ChipMOS REPORTS MARCH 2019 AND 1Q19 REVENUE

HSINCHU, Taiwan, April 10, 2019 — (PRNewswire) —

HSINCHU, Taiwan, April 10, 2019 /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 its unaudited consolidated revenue for the month of March 2019 and for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.  All U.S. dollar figures cited in this press release are based on the exchange rate of NT$30.86 to US$1.00 as of March 29, 2019.

Revenue for the month of March 2019 was NT$1,583.6 million or US$51.3 million, an increase of 19.2% from the month of February 2019 and an increase of 8.2% from the same period in 2018. 

Revenue for the first quarter of 2019 was NT$4,462.0 million or US$144.6 million, representing a decrease of 10.3% from the fourth quarter of 2018, and an increase of 11.2% from the first quarter of 2018. 

The Company noted that while revenue growth in March benefitted from continued strong demand of TDDI combined with an uptick in orders for Niche DRAM and Flash product, the first quarter normally represents the low period of the year for the industry, followed by revenue growth in Q2, Q3 and Q4. This is due to fewer working days around the Chinese New Year holiday and semiconductor chain inventory rebalancing at the start of the New Year.
