“Our first quarter business was supported by HPC-related demand, balanced by a milder smartphone seasonality than in recent years,” said Wendell Huang, VP and Chief Financial Officer of TSMC. “Moving into second quarter 2021, we expect our revenue to be flattish, as HPC-related demand will continue to grow, offset by smartphone seasonality.”
Based on the Company’s current business outlook, management expects the overall performance for second quarter 2021 to be as follows:
- Revenue is expected to be between US$12.9 billion and US$13.2 billion;
And, based on the exchange rate assumption of 1 US dollar to 28.4 NT dollars,
- Gross profit margin is expected to be between 49.5% and 51.5%;
- Operating profit margin is expected to be between 38.5% and 40.5%.
The management further expects the 2021 capital budget to be around US$30 billion.
