United Microelectronics Corporation (NYSE: UMC; TWSE: 2303) ("UMC" or "The Company"), a leading global semiconductor foundry, today announced its unconsolidated operating results for the fourth quarter of 2011.
Revenue was NT$24.43 billion, a 3% quarter-over-quarter decrease from NT$25.19 billion in 3Q11, and a 22% year-over-year decrease from NT$31.32 billion in 4Q10. Gross margin was 18.6%, operating margin was 3.4%, net income was NT$1.18 billion, and earnings per ordinary share were NT$0.09. In 2011, revenue for the full year was NT$105.88 billion, with NT$10.14 billion operating income, NT$10.81 billion net income and NT$0.86 earnings per share.
Dr. Shih-Wei Sun, CEO of UMC, said: "In Q4 2011, revenue was in line with UMC's guidance, with a 10% decrease in quarterly shipments contributing to revenue decline. We shipped 915 thousand 8-inch equivalent wafers, with ASP increasing 5% in NT$. Overall utilization was 68%. Revenue from 40nm exceeded 10% of December monthly sales, bringing revenue contribution from this node to 8% for the fourth quarter."
Dr. Sun continued, "Since the first quarter of the year is traditionally slow, UMC's quarterly revenue will decrease slightly from the previous quarter. However, we expect to maintain operating profitability through continuous cost reduction and efficiency enhancement measures. During the slow period, our operating profitability has gained resilience and stability as a result of successful efforts to improve operating structure and diversify risk. From a market standpoint, we have observed several signs that the industry cycle is reaching the bottom and believe that the multi-quarter inventory correction will end soon. However, due to several remaining uncertainties, recovery momentum will be determined by macroeconomic conditions and the strength of end demand.
"UMC is optimistic about the demand for advanced mobile communication and computing chips. To capitalize on this opportunity, we will expand our comprehensive 28nm and 40nm foundry solutions, cooperate with top tier customers to gain more flagship products, and build sufficient capacity. Our 2012 CAPEX budget of US$2 billion will help fulfill this commitment. However, we will not blindly add capacity. Instead, our investment plan is based on progressive stages of both advanced technology readiness and customer capacity requirements. Due to promising 28nm engagements and strong demand, we believe UMC will be well rewarded when 28nm mass production begins. As for 2.5D interposer solution, we have successfully taped out 2.5D interposer for 28nm and 40nm customers. We have also developed an open platform with back-end OSAT partners to extend our foundry services. For 2012, UMC will put forth great effort to strengthen long-term partnerships with customers, provide competitive advanced technology and commit sufficient capacity to secure the next opportunity for growth."

Revenue decreased 3.0% QoQ to NT$24.43 billion from NT$25.19 billion in 3Q11, and decreased 22.0% YoY from NT$31.32 billion in 4Q10. Gross profit was NT$4.55 billion, or 18.6% of revenue, compared to NT$4.98 billion, or 19.8% of 3Q11 revenue. Operating income for the quarter was NT$0.84 billion, or 3.4% of revenue, compared to NT$1.54 billion, or 6.1% of 3Q11 revenue. The QoQ decrease in revenue mainly came from the lower shipment volume. Net income in 4Q11 was NT$1.18 billion, compared to NT$1.95 billion in 3Q11.
Earnings per ordinary share for the quarter were NT$0.09. Earnings per ADS (Note 2) were US$0.02. The basic weighted average number of outstanding shares in 4Q11 was 12,609,375,064, compared with 12,606,278,572 shares in 3Q11 and 12,450,619,954 shares in 4Q10. The diluted weighted average number of outstanding shares was 13,320,772,626 in 4Q11, compared with 13,378,728,208 shares in 3Q11 and 12,576,463,301 shares in 4Q10. The fully diluted share count on December 31, 2011 was approximately 14,260,187,000. On December 31, 2011, UMC held 458 million treasury shares acquired from the 13th and 14th share buy-back programs.

Revenue decreased 3.0% QoQ to NT$24.43 billion from NT$25.19 billion in 3Q11 due to reduced shipment volume. Gross profit was NT$4.55 billion, or 18.6% of revenue, compared to NT$4.98 billion, or 19.8% of 3Q11 revenue. Total operating expenses increased 7.6% to NT$3.71 billion mainly due to higher sales and marketing expenses as a result of bad debt accrual from customers. The total R&D expense was 9.4% of revenue in 4Q11.

Net non-operating income during 4Q11 decreased QoQ to NT$349 million. Net investment loss can be attributed to investment loss accounted for under the equity method. The increase of the gain from other items was mainly due to the raising of valuation gain from embedded options of exchangeable bonds and the donation income from the shares of Best Elite, Hejian's shareholder.

Revenue from the Communication sector grew to 60% of total 4Q11 revenue as relatively stronger demand from baseband and AP. Weak LCD and power IC related demand resulted in decreased Consumer sector revenue contribution in Q4.
Blended Average Selling Price Trend
The blended average selling price (ASP) increased during 4Q11 was mainly due to increasing revenue contribution from 40nm and 65nm.

Wafer shipments decreased 10.7% sequentially to 915K in 4Q11, compared to 1,025K 8-inch equivalent wafers shipped in 3Q11. Since wafer shipments decrease and wafer capacity increased in Q4, overall utilization rate for the quarter dropped to 68%.
Note 4: |
Utilization Rate = Quarterly Wafer Out / Quarterly Capacity |
|
Capacity (Note 5)
Capacity during the fourth quarter was 1,376K 8-inch equivalent wafers. The increase in total capacity is mainly due to advanced capacity expansion at 12" fabs. The estimated installed capacity in 1Q12 will decrease to 1,364K 8-inch equivalent wafers mainly due to fewer working days.

Note from UMC Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the statements in the foregoing announcement are forward looking within the meaning of the U.S. Federal Securities laws, including statements about future outsourcing, wafer capacity, technologies, business relationships and market conditions. Investors are cautioned that actual events and results could differ materially from these statements as a result of a variety of factors, including conditions in the overall semiconductor market and economy; acceptance and demand for products from UMC; and technological and development risks. Further information concerning these risks is included in UMC's filings with the U.S. SEC, including on Form F-1, F-3, F-6 and 20-F, each as amended.
Safe Harbor Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements. These statements constitute "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify these forward-looking statements by use of words such as "strategy," "expects," "continues," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "will," "estimates," "intends," "projects," "goals," "targets" and other words of similar meaning.

These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual performance, financial condition or results of operations of UMC to be materially different from what is stated or may be implied in such forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that actual events and results could differ materially from those statements as a result of a number of factors including, but not limited to: (i) our dependence upon the frequent introduction of new services and technologies based on the latest developments in our industry; (ii) the intensely competitive semiconductor, communications, consumer electronics and computer industries and markets; (iii) the risks associated with international global business activities; (iv) our dependence upon key personnel; (v) general economic and political conditions; (vi) possible disruptions in commercial activities caused by natural and human-induced events and disasters, including terrorist activity, armed conflict and highly contagious diseases; (vii) reduced end-user purchases relative to expectations and orders; and (viii) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
