TSMC Reports 5% Sequential Increase in Second Quarter Revenue with EPS of NT$0.74
On a sequential basis, second quarter results represent a 5.1% increase in revenue, a 9.2% increase in net income and fully diluted EPS. Year-over-year comparison shows decreases in revenue, net income, and fully diluted EPS to be 9.8%, 21.5%, and 21.3%, respectively. All figures were prepared in accordance with R.O.C. GAAP on an unconsolidated basis.
The 5.1% increase in second quarter revenue mainly resulted from a 14.5% increase in wafer shipments and a 5.4% decline in average wafer selling price (ASP). Gross margin for the second quarter improved to 39.7% from the previous quarter’s 38.9%, due to higher levels of capacity utilization, but a lower ASP partially reduced the magnitude of the improvement. Revenues from advanced process technologies (0.13-micron and below) accounted for 43% of total wafer sales, compared to 45% previously. Net margin for the quarter improved to 31.4% from 30.2% in the last quarter.
“Due primarily to demand recovery from our customers, our second quarter business had improved better than we guided previously,” said Lora Ho, VP and Chief Financial Officer of TSMC. “We expect the recovery to continue for the coming quarter,” noted Ho,“and based on the current business outlook, management’s expectations for third quarter 2005 performance are the following”:
- Wafer shipments to increase by a mid-teen percentage point sequentially;
- Overall utilization rate to exceed 90%;
- Gross profit margin to be in the range of 41% to 43%;
- ASP to decline by a low to mid single digit percentage point sequentially.
