UMC Reports First Quarter 2014 Results

1Q Results Top Guidance on Better than Expected Demand, Momentum Continues into 2Q

(PRNewswire) —

First Quarter 2014 Overview[1]:

United Microelectronics Corporation (NYSE: UMC; TWSE: 2303) ("UMC" or "The Company"), a leading global semiconductor foundry, today announced its consolidated operating results for the first quarter of 2014.

Revenue was NT$31.69 billion, with gross margin at 18.6% and operating margin at 3.0%. Net income attributable to the stockholders of the parent was NT$1.18 billion, with earnings per ordinary share of NT$0.09.

Mr. Po-Wen Yen, CEO of UMC, said, "In the first quarter of 2014, UMC recorded NT$28.71 billion in revenue from the foundry segment, with operating margin from foundry operations of 4.0%. Wafer shipments reached 1.258 million 8-inch equivalent wafers."

CEO Yen added, "In a seasonally quiet quarter, UMC's first quarter of 2014 foundry performance exceeded guidance, driven by continuous chip demand that brought overall capacity utilization to 81%. Growth was led by the computing sector. As a result, contribution from 65nm and below technologies represented 51% of sales, including 20% from 40nm. For 28nm, our communication and consumer customers continue to be encouraged by our sustained yield improvement. While the average 28nm yields have shown stable performance, the continuous rise in our peak wafer yields will be a convincing factor for customers to enter pilot production in the coming months. UMC also continues to focus on capturing fast growing opportunities and further expanding our market share in China. Recently, UMC hosted its 2014 China Technology Forum in Shanghai to demonstrate our manufacturing excellence and comprehensive coverage of semiconductor applications. With 20 years of pure-play foundry experience, our technology leadership in logic and specialty solutions will help us gain additional design-wins in the Chinese fabless industry."

CEO Yen continued, "For the second quarter of 2014, UMC will benefit from the continued growth in customer demand, especially from the communication segment. We expect increased wafer shipments and higher capacity utilization rates to drive better profitability. At the leading-edge, 40nm demand continues to show strength while 28nm business is gaining momentum. We are confident that our engineering team's steady progress in 28nm yield enhancement activities will help UMC to capture key business and achieve strategic goals in the near future. We will continue to execute and take the necessary steps to propel our future growth. In the long run, we will further strengthen our technology solutions and service quality to enhance shareholder returns."

[2] One ADS represents five Taiwan-listed ordinary shares.

Revenue increased 3.2% QoQ to NT$31.69 billion from NT$30.72 billion in 4Q13, and increased 14.1% YoY from NT$27.78 billion in 1Q13. Gross profit was NT$5.90 billion, or 18.6% of revenue, compared to NT$5.56 billion, or 18.1% of 4Q13 revenue. Operating income for the quarter was NT$0.94 billion, or 3.0% of revenue, compared to operating income of NT$0.19 billion, or 0.6% of 4Q13 revenue. Net income attributable to the stockholders of the parent in 1Q14 was NT$1.18 billion, compared to NT$749 million in 4Q13.

Earnings per ordinary share for the quarter were NT$0.09. Earnings per ADS were US$0.015. The basic weighted average number of outstanding shares in 1Q14 was 12,479,924,736, compared with 12,476,082,332 shares in 4Q13 and 12,631,240,995 shares in 1Q13. The diluted weighted average number of outstanding shares was 13,157,984,032 in 1Q14, compared with 13,243,379,446 shares in 4Q13 and 13,396,609,065 shares in 1Q13.

Detailed Financials Section

The rise in revenue was largely due to an increase in shipments during 1Q14. Depreciation slightly increased 2.6% to NT$8.15 billion. Gross profit climbed 6.2% to NT$5.90 billion, or 18.6% of revenue. Total operating expenses decreased 5.7% to NT$5.02 billion. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 8.1% to NT$833 million, mainly due to lower mask expenses. Research and development expenses decreased to NT$3.34 billion, mostly due to a temporary reduction in engineering wafer use.
