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 2023.
Third quarter consolidated revenue was NT$57.07 billion,
increasing 1.4% QoQ from NT$56.30 billion in 2Q23. Compared to a
year ago, 3Q23 revenue declined 24.3% YoY from NT$75.39 billion in
3Q22. Consolidated gross margin for 3Q23 was 35.9%. Net income
attributable to the shareholders of the parent was NT$15.97
billion, with earnings per ordinary share of NT$1.29.
Jason Wang, co-president of UMC, said, “During the third
quarter, despite a 2.3% decrease in wafer shipments, quarterly
revenue and gross margin remained firm QoQ which primarily
attributed to the demand strength in computing and communication
segments, continuous product mix enhancement as well as favorable
currency movement. From end markets perspective, strength in
computing applications were propelled by LCD controller, WiFi,
codec and touch IC controllers while shipments in communication
segments increased due to demand for RF front end IC and networking
chips. Looking back at 2023, although foundry industry experienced
a significant decline in market demand, UMC maintained solid
structural profitability supported by firmness in blended ASP due
to continuous product mix optimization efforts and the increasing
contribution from specialty technologies. As UMC continues to
introduce new specialty technologies to solidify our
differentiation, we will strengthen the competitiveness of our
customers and enhance their respective market position.”
Co-president Wang said, “For the fourth quarter, with the recent
rush orders from PC and smartphones, we expect demand has gradually
stabilized. However, customers still employ a cautious and
conservative approach in maintaining lean inventory levels while
automotive business conditions appear challenging. For 2024, we
anticipate the production ramp of our 12A Phase 6 fab will further
enhance revenue contribution from 22/28nm continuing the robust
business traction for UMC. In addition, through our technology
leadership, we will ramp up our offering on 22nm derivative
products which will further our specialty technology product
pipeline.”
Co-president Wang continued, “Talent is UMC's most important and
highly valued asset. We respect the uniqueness of every employee
and are committed to creating a diverse, equal, and inclusive
workplace environment. Receiving the ‘HR Asia’ award for the ‘Best
Employer in Asia’ in July is a recognition of our years of effort.
Our goal is to create a culture of diversity and inclusivity in our
workplace that enables employees to leverage their strengths,
thereby playing a pivotal role in the Company's sustained growth
and enduring success.”

Third quarter operating revenues slightly grew by 1.4%
sequentially to NT$57.07 billion mainly lifted by a favorable
exchange rate and a better product mix from wafer shipments.
Revenue contribution from 40nm and below technologies increased to
45% of wafer revenue. Gross profit grew 1.0% QoQ to NT$20.46
billion, or 35.9% of revenue. Operating expenses remained flat QoQ
to NT$5.72 billion. Net other operating income declined to NT$573
million. Net non-operating income reached NT$3.34 billion mainly
reflecting the mark to market securities. Net income attributable
to shareholders of the parent amounted to NT$15.97 billion.
Earnings per ordinary share for the quarter was NT$1.29.
Earnings per ADS was US$0.200. The basic weighted average number of
