TSMC Reports First Quarter EPS of NT$3.05
Hsinchu, Taiwan, R.O.C., April 16, 2015 TSMC today announced consolidated revenue of NT$222.03 billion, net income of NT$78.99 billion, and
diluted earnings per share of NT$3.05 (US$0.48 per ADR unit) for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015.
Year-over-year, first quarter revenue
increased 49.8% while net income and diluted EPS both increased 65.0%. Compared to fourth quarter 2014, first quarter results represent a 0.2% decrease in revenue, a 1.2% decrease in net income and a 1.3% decline in EPS. All figures were prepared in
accordance with TIFRS on a consolidated basis.
In US dollars, first quarter revenue decreased 2.6% from the previous quarter and increased 43.7%
year-over-year.
Gross margin for the quarter was 49.3%, operating margin was 39.0%, and net profit margin was 35.6%.
Shipments of 20-nanometer process technology accounted for 16% of total wafer revenues. 28-nanometer accounted for 30% of total wafer revenues. Advanced
technologies, defined as 28-nanometer and 20-nanometer technologies, accounted for 46% of total wafer revenues.
The demand for TSMCs wafers
remained strong in the first quarter but NT dollar was stronger than the assumption in our first quarter guidance by about 1 percent, which reduced our revenue by NT$1.9 billion, said Lora Ho, SVP and Chief Financial Officer of TSMC. In
the second quarter, a combination of customers business loss, inventory adjustment, and a less favorable exchange rate will negatively impact our second quarter business. Based on our current business outlook and exchange rate assumption of 1
US dollar to 31.03 NT dollars, management expects overall performance for second quarter 2015 to be as follows:
|
|
Revenue is expected to be between NT$204 billion and NT$207 billion; |
|
|
Gross profit margin is expected to be between 47.5% and 49.5%; |
|
|
Operating profit margin is expected to be between 36.5% and 38.5%. |
The management further expects revenue
from second half of the year will recover and the full year will be double-digit growth over 2014. The management also states 2015 capital budget to be between US$10.5 billion and US$11.0 billion.
