"Strong utilization and growth in Advanced SiP drove solid profitability. Operating income margin expanded 365 basis points year-on-year to 11%, and EPS more than doubled to a second quarter record of $0.51," said Megan Faust, Amkor's executive vice president and chief financial officer. "EBITDA grew over 40% year-on-year, and our solid financial position provides flexibility to continue to invest in growth opportunities."

At June 30, 2021, total cash and short-term investments was $0.9 billion, and total debt was $1.1 billion.

We paid a quarterly dividend of $0.04 per share, representing a dividend payment of $9.8 million in the aggregate, on June 28, 2021 to stockholders of record as of June 7, 2021. The declaration and payment of future dividends, as well as any record and payment dates, are subject to the approval of the Board of Directors.

Business Outlook

"We expect 26% year-on-year growth in the third quarter with revenue of $1.70 billion, fueled by new product ramps for Advanced products in Communications," said Rutten. "We are working closely with our customers and suppliers to help mitigate ongoing supply chain constraints affecting the semiconductor industry."

Third quarter 2021 outlook (unless otherwise noted):

  • Net sales of $1.65 billion to $1.75 billion
  • Gross margin of 18.5% to 20.5%
  • Net income of $150 million to $200 million, or $0.60 to $0.80 per diluted share
  • Full year 2021 capital expenditures of approximately $775 million

Selected Operating Data

In this press release we refer to 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.
