UMC Reports Third Quarter 2017 Results
United Microelectronics Corporation (NYSE:UMC; TWSE:2303) ("UMC"
or "The Company"), a leading global semiconductor foundry, today
announced its consolidated operating results for the third quarter of
2017.
Third quarter consolidated revenue was NT$37.70 billion, flat from
NT$37.54 billion in 2Q17 and down 1.2% YoY from NT$38.16 billion in
3Q16. 3Q17 consolidated gross margin was 17.5%. Net income attributable
to the stockholders of the parent was NT$3.47 billion, with earnings per
ordinary share of NT$0.28.
Jason Wang, co-president of UMC, said, "In the third quarter of 2017,
UMC's foundry revenue was NT$37.61 billion. In 3Q17, we continued to
sustain stable utilization rates across our 8" and 12" mature
technologies, driven by strong chip demand in consumer and computing
peripheral segments. Our 8" facilities remained nearly full while mature
12" fabs operated above 90% capacity, lifting overall wafer shipments to
1.75 million 8-inch equivalents. Our 12" fab in Xiamen, Fab 12X, also
began shipping 28nm wafers, with yield rates and chip performance
reaching the same quality as our Tainan Fab 12A."
President Wang continued, "Looking into 4Q17, we expect the business
environment to decline, due to typical year-end seasonal adjustment. In
addition, we foresee 28nm HKMG demand to soften. As we develop and
redefine new process technologies according to market demand, we expect
to enhance UMC's market share by penetrating into emerging applications
including IoT, 5G wireless and industrial segments, which will spur new
waves of growth opportunities. UMC's recent selection as a DJSI global
component for the 10th consecutive year also highlights our
active involvement in environment protection and sustainable
manufacturing practices, demonstrating our commitment to setting higher
corporate social responsibility standards."

Wafer shipments increased to 1,748K in 3Q17. Quarterly capacity
increased 2.5% QoQ to 1,861K, leading to an overall utilization rate of
96% in 3Q17.
Capacity4 for Foundry Segment
Total capacity in the third quarter was 1,861K 8-inch equivalent wafers.
Estimated capacity in the fourth quarter will increase to 1,886K 8-inch
equivalent wafers, primarily due to capacity expansion at Fab 12X and
Fab 12A as well as enhancements to production capabilities at Fab 8S,
Fab 8N and Fab 8F.
