“We incurred approximately $13 million of incremental earthquake costs that reduced gross margin by 150 basis points and earnings per diluted share by $0.04,” said Joanne Solomon, Amkor’s executive vice president and chief financial officer. “Taking into account insurance payments anticipated later this year, we expect the net impact of the Japan earthquakes on our full year 2016 results to be minimal."
Business Outlook
"Looking ahead to Q3, we expect that revenues will increase around 15% sequentially, driven by the launch of mobile devices across multiple tiers. We expect robust growth in advanced SiP, Greater China and automotive," said Kelley.
Third quarter 2016 outlook (unless otherwise noted):
- Net sales of $1.01 billion to $1.09 billion, up 10% to 19% from the prior quarter
- Gross margin of 16% to 20%
- Net income of $29 million to $65 million, or $0.12 to $0.28 per share
- Full year 2016 capital expenditures of around $650 million, unchanged from our previous forecast
Revision to Previously Reported Financial Information
In the second quarter of 2016, during our post-acquisition integration of J-Devices, we identified an error in the provision for income taxes in the financial statements for J-Devices for the periods beginning in 2012 through the fourth quarter of 2015. During those periods we did not control J-Devices and, accordingly, we accounted for our investment in J-Devices using the equity method. As a result of the J-Devices error, our equity in earnings of J-Devices was overstated by the cumulative amount of $8.0 million. We believe that the error is not material to Amkor for the periods impacted and have elected to revise our previously issued consolidated financial statements in our upcoming filings to correct prior periods. We have also recorded the impact of the revision in our purchase accounting for the acquisition of J-Devices on December 30, 2015. Periods presented herein are based on the revised financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. Please refer to the supplementary slides posted on our Investor Relations website for revised historical financial information.
