Dr. Zhao Haijun and Dr. Liang Mong Song, SMIC’s Co-Chief Executive Officers commented, “For the past two years, SMIC was in a period of transition. Through 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 second 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.

|
▪
|
Income tax expense was $6.1 million in 1Q19, as compared to income tax benefit of $8.3 million in 4Q18. The change was mainly due to that some subsidiaries were levied income tax in 1Q19 and recognized expected income tax refund in 4Q18.
|
|
▪
|
Exchange differences on translating foreign operations were $10.4 million gain in 1Q19 and $7.6 million loss in 4Q18.

R&D expenses, net decreased by $57.8 million QoQ to $77.2 million in 1Q19, compared to $135.0 million in 4Q18. Excluding the funding of R&D contracts from the government, R&D expenses decreased by $34.8 million QoQ to $150.3 million in 1Q19. The change was mainly due to less R&D activities in 1Q19. Funding of R&D contracts from the government was $73.1 million in 1Q19, compared to $50.1 million in 4Q18.
|
▪
|
The change in other operating income was mainly due to more government funding as other operating income received in 1Q19.

|
The increase in interest income was mainly due to more financial assets at amortized cost acquired in 1Q19.
|
▪
|
The increase in finance costs was mainly due to 1) new financial liabilities and related finance costs recognized as IFRS 16
—
Lease adopted in 1Q19 and 2) new medium-term notes issued in 1Q19.
|
▪
|
Foreign exchange gains or losses were mainly due to the net impact of cash flow hedging and the appreciation of RMB against USD in 1Q19. Foreign monetary assets mainly consist of cash and cash equivalent and trade and other receivables in RMB. Foreign monetary liabilities mainly consist of borrowings, medium-term notes and trade and other payables in RMB.
|
▪
|
The decrease in other gains or losses, net was mainly caused by less gain on fair value change of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss in 1Q19.
|
▪
|
The change in share of (loss) gain of investment accounted for using equity method was due to the loss of investments in joint ventures and associates in 1Q19.

Non-GAAP operating expenses are defined as operating expenses 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. SMIC reviews non-GAAP operating expenses together with operating expenses to understand, manage and evaluate its business and make financial and operational decisions. The Group also believes it is useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance. However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact our net profit for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider the non-GAAP operating expenses in isolation from or as an alternative to operating expenses prepared in accordance with IFRS.
|
|
The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the non-GAAP operating expenses to its most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with IFRS, for the periods indicated.

EBITDA
is defined as
p
rofit for the period
excluding the impact of the
finance cost
, depreciation and amortization, and income tax
benefit and
expense. EBITDA margin is defined as
EBITDA
divided by
revenue
.
SMIC uses EBITDA
margin
as a measure of operating performance; for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Group’s annua
l operating budget; to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of the Group’s business; to evaluate the effectiveness of the Group’s business strategies; and in communications with SMIC’s board of directors concerning the
Group’s financial
performance.
Although EBITDA is
widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items, such as net
finance cost
, income tax benefit and expense and depreciation and amortization that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their respective financing structures and accounting policies, the book values of their assets, their capital structures a
nd the methods by which their assets were acquired, EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Group’s results of operations as reported under IFRS. Some of these limitat
ions are: it does not reflect the Group’s capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or other contractual commitments; it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Group’s working capital needs; it does not reflec
t
finance cost
; it does not reflect cash requirements for income taxes; that, although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and these measures do not ref
lect any cash requirements for these replacements; and that other companies in SMIC’s industry may calculate these measures differently than SMIC does, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures
.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION
(In US$ thousands)
Note
:
|
(1)
|
The new IFRS 16 standard resulted in almost all leases being recognized on the balance sheet by lessees, as the distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognized. The only exceptions are short-term and low-value leases.
|
As the adoption of IFRS 16 since January 1, 2019, the Group recognized $279.7 million right-of-use assets and $279.7 million leased liabilities in
p
roperty, plant and equipment and other liabilities, respectively.
