TSMC Reports Third Quarter EPS of NT$1.18

HSIN-CHU, Taiwan, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- TSMC (NYSE: TSM) today announced consolidated revenue of NT$89.94 billion, net income of NT$30.55 billion, and diluted earnings per share of NT$1.18 (US$0.18 per ADS unit) for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.

Year-over-year, third quarter revenue decreased 3.3% while net income decreased 0.1% and diluted EPS increased 0.3%. Compared to second quarter of 2009, third quarter results represent a 21.2% increase in revenue, an increase of 25% in net income, and an increase of 24.8% in diluted EPS. All figures were prepared in accordance with R.O.C. GAAP on a consolidated basis.

Gross margin for the quarter was 47.7%, operating margin was 35.6%, and net margin was 34%.

As demand outlook continued to improve, third quarter saw a solid growth in the demand for semiconductors across all major applications.

Advanced process technologies (0.13-micron and below) accounted for 67% of wafer revenues. 90-nanometer process technology accounted for 18% of wafer revenues, 65-nanometer 31%, and 40-nanometer exceeded 4% of total wafer sales.

"For the fourth quarter, we expect the demand from computer related applications to grow strongly while communication related applications will take a pause after two consecutive quarters' strong momentum, and consumer applications will decline following their seasonal pattern," said Lora Ho, VP and Chief Financial Officer of TSMC. "Based on our current business outlook, management expects overall performance for fourth quarter 2009 to be as follows:

    -- Revenue is expected to be between NT$90 billion and NT$92 billion;
    -- Gross profit margin is expected to be between 47% and 48.5%;
    -- Operating profit margin is expected to be between 35.5% and 37%."

Lora Ho further said: "Due to stronger demand for 40-nanometer and 65-nanometer technologies, TSMC 2009 capital expenditure is further raised and is expected to be around US$2.7 billion."

Gross Profit Analysis:

Gross margin for the third quarter 2009 was 47.7%, up from 46.2% of prior quarter. The 1.5 percentage points improvement in gross margin was primarily due to a higher level of capacity utilization and continued cost improvement, partially offset by a decline in pure price and unfavorable exchange rate.

SG&A expenses increased by NT$0.60 billion from 2Q09. The increase was mainly due to higher legal fee and a one-time donation.

Research and development expenditures increased by NT$1.1 billion sequentially, primarily due to increased activities in 28nm and 22nm technology development.

    Total Non-Operating Items                   0.97         1.26        1.51


Non-Operating Items:

Combined result from non-operating income and long-term investments was a gain of NT$0.97 billion for third quarter 2009.

Non-operating income was NT$0.52 billion, lower than NT$1.15 billion in 2Q09. The sequential decline was primarily due to the absence of litigation compensation and less interest income.

Net investment gain was NT$0.45 billion, higher than NT$0.11 billion of prior quarter, mainly due to continued business improvement among invested companies.

At the end of 3Q09, total cash and marketable securities decreased by NT$66.45 billion to NT$180.32 billion. We paid NT$76.88 billion for cash dividends and generated NT$14.62 billion of free cash flow during this quarter.

Total current liabilities decreased by NT$74.62 billion in this quarter, primarily due to payment of cash dividends.

Net working capital was NT$189.23 billion and current ratio increased to 4.4x.

Summary of Cash Flow:

Cash generated from operating activities totaled NT$46.66 billion during the quarter, up from NT$24.52 billion in 2Q09 as a result of higher level of business activities, partially offset by NT$7.49 billion for 2008 employee profit sharing payment.

Net cash used in investing activities was NT$51.51 billion in 3Q09, reflecting the capital expenditures of NT$32.04 billion and investments in fixed income instruments of NT$14.83 billion.

Net cash used in financing activities was NT$76.99 billion during the quarter, as we paid NT$76.88 billion for cash dividends.

    As a result, TSMC ended 3Q09 with a cash balance of NT$156.94 billion.

    IV - 2. Operating and Free Cash Flows:

Operating and Free Cash Flows:

Cash flows generated from operating activities were NT$46.66 billion during the quarter. Free cash flow, defined as the excess of operating cash flows over capital expenditures, totaled NT$14.62 billion in 3Q09, compared to NT$17.10 billion in 2Q09.

Capital Expenditures:

Capital expenditures for TSMC on a consolidated basis totaled US$971 million in 3Q09.

First quarter through third quarter 2009, total capital expenditures reached US$1.36 billion. Due to stronger demand for 40nm and 65nm technologies, TSMC 2009 capital expenditures are further raised and expected to be around US$2.7 billion.

Capacity:

Total managed capacity was 2,444K 8-inch equivalent wafers in the third quarter, decreased by 1.6% from 2,483K in 2Q09, mainly due to capacity migration to advanced nodes.

TSMC managed capacity in 4Q09 is expected to increase by 3.6% to reach 2,532K 8-inch equivalent wafers.

Total managed capacity in 2009 is expected to reach 9,955K 8-inch equivalent wafers, representing an increase of 6.2% from 9,377K 8-inch equivalent wafers in 2008, while capacity for 12-inch wafer fabs is expected to increase by 11% year-over-year, reaching 42% of total capacity.

Safe Harbor Notice:

The statements included in this press release that are not historical in nature are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. TSMC cautions readers that forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are based on TSMC's current expectations. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons including, among others, risks associated with cyclicality and market conditions in the semiconductor industry; demand and supply for TSMC's foundry manufacturing capacity in particular and for foundry manufacturing capacity in general; intense competition; the failure of one or more significant customers to continue to place the same level of orders with us; TSMC's ability to remain a technological leader in the semiconductor industry; TSMC's ability to manage its capacity; TSMC's ability to obtain, preserve and defend its intellectual property rights; natural disasters and other unexpected events which may disrupt production; and exchange rate fluctuations. Additional information as to these and other risk factors that may cause TSMC's actual results to differ materially from TSMC's forward-looking statements may be found in TSMC's Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 17, 2009, and such other documents as TSMC may file with, or submit to, the SEC from time to time. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
