Revenue growth in the second quarter of 2023 was led by improvements in the Company's memory and LCD driver businesses, which drove an increase in its overall utilization rate to 60% from 52% in the first quarter of 2023.

This was partially offset by a decrease in the gain on valuation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of NT$21 million or US$0.7 million. The difference between the second quarter of 2022 is mainly due to a decrease of share of profit of associates accounted for using equity method of NT$94 million or US$3.0 million, a lower foreign exchange gains of NT$75 million or US$2.4 million. It was partially offset by the positive valuation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss impact of NT$56 million or US$1.8 million from loss on valuation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of NT$52 million or US$1.7 million in the second quarter of 2022 to gain on valuation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of NT$4 million or US$0.1 million in the second quarter of 2023 and the decrease of net interest expense of NT$16 million or US$0.5 million.
