Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited
2007-01-25 15:32 1330

HSINCHU, Taiwan, Jan. 25 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TSMC

(TAIEX: 2330; NYSE: TSM) today announced consolidated revenue of NT$74.96 billion, net income of NT$27.91 billion, and diluted earnings per share of NT$1.08 (US$0.16 per ADS unit) for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006.

Year-over-year, fourth quarter revenue decreased 5.4% while net income and diluted EPS decreased 17.7% and 17.8%, respectively. On a sequential basis, fourth quarter results represent a 9.1% decrease in revenue, and a decrease of 14.1% both in net income and in diluted EPS. All figures were prepared in accordance with R.O.C. GAAP on a consolidated basis.

Fourth quarter business was affected by inventory correction, and revenue came to the mid point of the guidance. Advanced process technologies (0.13-micron and below) accounted for 48% of wafer revenues with 90-nanometer process technology accounting for 22% and 65-nanometer approaching 1% of total wafer sales. Gross margin of 46% reached the mid point of the guidance, while operating margin of 36.6% was close to the high end of guidance. Net margin decreased 2.2 percentage points to 37.2% from the previous quarter.

"The current inventory correction which started in the third quarter of last year is expected to continue through the first quarter of 2007, but we expect the overall demand of our business to begin to recover by the end of first quarter," said Lora Ho, VP and Chief Financial Officer of TSMC. "Relative to the fourth quarter, the wireless communication segment appears to experience a more severe decline than the consumer and computer segments in the first quarter," said Ho. "Based on our current business outlook, management's expectations for first quarter 2007 performance are as follows":

-- Revenue to be between NT$62 billion and NT$64 billion;

-- Gross profit margin to be between 37% and 39%;

-- Operating profit margin to be between 26% and 28%.

Ho said management also expects that 2007 capital expenditure will be in the range of US$2.6 billion to US$2.8 billion.

Consolidated Revenue Analysis:

Consolidated net sales were NT$74.96 billion in the fourth quarter of 2006, down 9.1% from NT$82.48 billion in the previous quarter. The decline in fourth quarter business was primarily due to weakness in consumer and communication sectors and to a lesser extent in the computer sector, as customers continued to digest inventories.

On a sequential basis, revenues from consumer, communication and computer applications declined by 31%, 17% and 2%, respectively.

Revenues from 65nm and 90nm accounted for 23% of total wafer sales, down one percentage point from third quarter 2006. Revenues from advanced technologies (0.13-micron and below) accounted for 48% of total wafer sales, down slightly from the previous quarter.

Revenues from IDM customers accounted for 28% of total wafer sales during the quarter, down slightly from 29% in the previous quarter.

Geographically, revenues from North America accounted for 78% of total wafer sales. Meanwhile, sales from Asia Pacific, Europe and Japan accounted for 11%, 7% and 4% of wafer sales, respectively.

Consolidated Gross Profit Analysis:

Consolidated gross profit for the fourth quarter 2006 was NT$34.5 billion, or 46% of net sales, down from a gross profit of NT$41.1 billion, or 49.9% of net sales, in the previous quarter. The gross margin declined by 3.9 percentage points largely due to lower capacity utilization and an increase in depreciation expenses, offset in part by productivity improvement and lower provisions for sales returns.

III - 2. Consolidated Operating Expenses

Consolidated Operating Expenses:

Total operating expenses for 4Q06 were NT$7 billion, compared to NT$7.5 billion in third quarter 2006. Total operating expenses represented 9.4% of net sales, compared to 9.1% for the previous quarter.

Research and development expenditures decreased by NT$225 million sequentially, mainly due to a reduction in 65nm related expenditures as we entered into volume production for 65nm process node.

SG&A expenses decreased by NT$229 million compared to 3Q06, primarily due to the reduction of fab opening expenses for Fab 14 Phase II, which commenced commercial production in 4Q06.

Total Non-Operating Items 2,101 1,031 1,180

Consolidated Non-Operating Items:

Combined result from non-operating income and long-term investments was a gain of NT$2.1 billion for 4Q06.

Non-operating income totaled NT$1,713 million during the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to an income of NT$322 million in the previous quarter. The increase in non-operating income was mainly due to the mark to market adjustment recorded as a result of the increase in the market value of certain marketable securities, a decrease in losses realized upon the settlement of certain hedging instruments, and the settlement payment from the lawsuit against SMIC, offset in part by an increase in foreign exchange losses.

Net investment income was NT$388 million in fourth quarter 2006, compared to an income of NT$709 million in 3Q06, mostly due to lower level of profits at SSMC.

Liquidity Analysis:

Total cash and marketable securities increased by NT$31 billion in the fourth quarter 2006, mainly due to the free cash flows generated during the quarter. As a result, TSMC ended the quarter with NT$260.3 billion in total current assets, compared to NT$212.3 billion at the end of 2005 and NT$228.3 billion at the end of the previous quarter.

Total current liabilities were NT$46.9 billion at the end of the quarter, compared to NT$45.6 billion at the end of the previous quarter. The increase was mainly due to a reclassification of NT$4.5 billion in bonds payable from long-term liability to current liability, offset in part by a reduction in payables to contractors and equipment suppliers.

As a result, net working capital increased to NT$213.5 billion and current ratio improved to 5.6.

Summary of Consolidated Cash Flow:

During fourth quarter 2006, TSMC generated NT$53 billion in cash from operating activities, mainly from net income of NT$27.9 billion and depreciation & amortization of NT$19.7 billion.

Net cash used in investment activities totaled NT$28.4 billion, mainly as a result of an NT$17.6 billion in capital expenditures and an NT$6.7 billion net increase in marketable financial instruments.

Net cash provided by financing activities was NT$0.8 billion during the quarter.

As a result, TSMC ended the quarter with a cash balance of NT$117.8 billion, NT$24.9 billion higher than in 3Q06.

V - 2. Consolidated Operating and Free Cash Flows

TSMC continues to generate strong operating cash flows and free cash flows. Cash flows generated from operating activities were NT$53 billion, NT$0.3 billion higher than 3Q06. Free cash flows, defined as the excess of operating cash flows over capital expenditures, totaled NT$35.4 billion in 4Q06, NT$11 billion higher than the NT$24.4 billion generated in the previous quarter, mainly due to lower level of capital expenditures in 4Q06.
