optimization and reformation, we enhanced our capability and
accelerated R&D significantly. We have been building up
competency and competitiveness to accelerate our pace and catch up
with the new trends in the industry, meet the needs of the upcoming
market opportunities, emerge from the transitional period and
accelerate our growth."
Dr. Zhao said, "Looking at 2019, the first quarter seems to be
the bottom for us, as the inventory adjustment cycle is coming to
an end and new mature technology platforms that SMIC worked hard to
prepare are also ready. New applications such as analog power
management, and CMOS RF for Internet of Things will drive revenue
growth. Revenue in the second quarter is expected to increase by
17% to 19% quarter over quarter."
Dr. Liang said, "Our FinFET technology R&D is progressing
smoothly, as our 12nm is entering customer engagement, and the
research and development of our next generation of FinFET is
progressing well based on our accumulated technology
development. The construction of SMIC South FinFET Fab was
completed successfully, and we have begun capacity deployment. We
will prepare ourselves to be ready for rapid transitions in
customer technology migration to face the ever-changing industry
environment."

About Non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
("non-GAAP") Financial Measures
To supplement SMIC's consolidated financial results presented in
accordance with IFRS, SMIC uses in this press release non-GAAP
measures of operating results that are adjusted to exclude finance
cost, depreciation and amortization, income tax benefits and
expenses, the effect of employee bonus accrual, government funding,
impairment loss of tangible and intangible assets, gain or loss on
the disposal of machinery and equipment and gain from the disposal
of living quarters. This earnings release also includes first
quarter 2019 guidance for non-GAAP operating expenses. The
presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial
information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. This
earnings release includes EBITDA, EBITDA margin and non-GAAP
operating expenses which consist of total operating expenses as
adjusted to exclude the effect of employee bonus accrual,
government funding, impairment loss of tangible and intangible
assets, gain or loss on the disposal of machinery and equipment and
gain from the disposal of living quarters. These non-GAAP financial
measures are not calculated or presented in accordance with, and
are not alternatives or substitutes for financial measures prepared
in accordance with IFRS, and should be read only in conjunction
with the Group's financial measures prepared in accordance with
IFRS. The Group's non-GAAP financial measures may be different from
similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other
companies.
SMIC believes that use of these non-GAAP financial measures
facilitates investors' and management's comparisons to SMIC's
historical performance. The Group's management regularly uses these
non-GAAP financial measures to understand, manage and evaluate the
Group's business and make financial and operational decisions.
The accompanying table has more information and reconciliations
of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable
GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance
measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a
forward-looking basis because the effect of these adjustment items
excluded for the purpose of non-GAAP operating expenses guidance
are subject to some unpredictable conditions that cannot be
estimated with reasonable certainty.
