Second Quarter Highlights
- Net sales $917 million, 5.6% sequential growth
- Gross margin 14.3%, reflecting 150 basis points of Japan earthquake costs
- Net income $5 million, earnings per diluted share $0.02 and EBITDA $168 million
- Strong Android smartphone demand
- Accelerated recovery from Japan earthquakes
TEMPE, Ariz. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — August 1, 2016 — Amkor Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMKR), a leading provider of semiconductor packaging and test services, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.
"Second quarter results were above the high end of our guidance," said Steve Kelley, Amkor's president and chief executive officer. "Strong Android smartphone demand and a quicker recovery at our earthquake-damaged Kumamoto factory were the key drivers of our financial performance for the quarter. Our growth in sequential sales also drove an 8.1% improvement in EBITDA.”

*EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. The reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measure is included below under "Selected Operating Data."
“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.

In the press release above we provide EBITDA, which is not defined by U.S. GAAP. We define EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA to be relevant and useful information to our investors because it provides additional information in assessing our financial operating results. Our management uses EBITDA in evaluating our operating performance, our ability to service debt and our ability to fund capital expenditures. However, EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not reflect the impact of certain expenses on our consolidated statements of income, including interest expense, which is a necessary element of our costs because we have borrowed money in order to finance our operations, income tax expense, which is a necessary element of our costs because taxes are imposed by law, and depreciation and amortization, which is a necessary element of our costs because we use capital assets to generate income. EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, operating income, net income or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Furthermore our definition of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Below is our reconciliation of EBITDA to U.S. GAAP net income.
