HSIN-CHU, Taiwan, April 30 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- TSMC today announced consolidated revenue of NT$39.5 billion, net income of NT$1.56 billion, and diluted earnings per share of NT$0.06 (US$0.01 per ADS unit) for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009. Year-over-year, first quarter revenue decreased 54.8% while net income and diluted EPS decreased 94.5% and 94.4%, respectively. Compared to fourth quarter of 2008, first quarter results represent a 38.8% decrease in revenue, and a decrease of 87.5% in net income and in diluted EPS. All figures were prepared in accordance with R.O.C. GAAP on a consolidated basis. As a result of deepening economic recession worldwide and customers' inventory adjustment, first quarter saw a sharp decline in the demand for semiconductors across all applications. Gross margin for the quarter was 18.9%, operating margin was 3.1%, and net margin was 3.9%. Advanced process technologies (0.13-micron and below) accounted for 65% of wafer revenues with 90-nanometer process technology accounting for 25%, 65- nanometer 23%, and 45/40 nanometer reaching 1% of total wafer sales. "Although global economic conditions continue to decline, a few signs of economic stabilization began to emerge. Consumption of electronics in the last two quarters exceeded production and surpassed semiconductor companies' low expectations. Meanwhile, companies began to launch new products, while China started implementing various stimulus programs. The dynamic has resulted in a substantial increase in order levels. After sharp declines in two consecutive quarters, TSMC is seeing a strong rebound in its second quarter business and believes overall business in the second half of 2009 will be considerably better than that of the first half," said Lora Ho, VP and Chief Financial Officer of TSMC. "Based on our current business outlook, management expects overall performance for second quarter 2009 to be as follows": -- Revenue is expected to be between NT$71 billion and NT$74 billion; -- Gross profit margin is expected to be between 43.5% and 45.5%; -- Operating profit margin is expected to be between 30.5% and 32.5%. The management further expects that 2009 capital expenditure will be around US$1.5 billion.

In 1Q09, demand continued to be weaker across all applications compared to 4Q08. On a sequential basis, revenues from computer, communication, and consumer applications decreased 53%, 36%, and 32%, respectively. Technology-Revenue from 45/40nm reached 1% of total wafer sales in 1Q09. Meanwhile, revenue from 65nm and 90nm were 23% and 25% of total wafer sales, respectively. Overall, revenues from advanced technologies (0.13-micron and below) accounted for 65% of total wafer sales. Customer-Revenues from IDM customers accounted for 23% of total wafer sales in 1Q09, lower than 28% in 4Q08, primarily due to increasing in-sourcing of those customers in the weak demand environment. Geography-In 1Q09, revenues from customers based in North America accounted for 68% of total wafer sales, lower than 72% in 4Q08. Meanwhile, sales from customers in Asia Pacific, China, Europe, and Japan accounted for 14%, 3%, 12% and 3% of wafer sales, respectively. II. Profit & Expense Analysis II - 1.

II - 2. Operating Expenses (In NT billions) 1Q09 4Q08 1Q08 Total Operating Exp. 6.27 8.17 9.12 SG&A 2.54 3.34 3.85 Research & Development 3.73 4.83 5.27 Total Operating Exp. as a % of Sales 15.9% 12.7% 10.4% Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses for 1Q09 decreased to NT$6.27 billion, representing 15.9% of net sales, higher than 12.7% of net sales in 4Q08. Research and development expenditures decreased by NT$1.10 billion sequentially, mainly due to lower level of employee profit sharing and less development expenses related to 40nm technologies. SG&A expenses decreased by NT$0.80 billion from 4Q08 level. The decrease was mainly due to lower level of employee profit sharing and more stringent expense control. II - 3. Non-Operating Items (In NT billions) 1Q09 4Q08 1Q08 Non-Operating Inc./(Exp.) 0.35 1.41 1.87 Net Interest Income/(Exp.) 0.88 1.18 1.19 Other Non-Operating (0.53) 0.23 0.68 L-T Investments (0.81) (0.34) 0.58 SSMC (0.32) (0.07) 0.38 Others (0.49) (0.27) 0.20 Total Non-Operating Items (0.46) 1.07 2.45 Non-Operating Items: For 1Q09, combined result from non-operating income and long-term investment losses was a net loss of NT$0.46 billion. Non-operating income was NT$0.35 billion, lower than NT$1.41 billion in 4Q08, primarily due to less interest income, disposal and impairment losses of financial assets, and the absence of litigation compensation. Net investment losses increased by NT$0.47 billion to NT$0.81 billion, mainly due to weaker business in VIS and SSMC. III. Financial Condition Review III - 1.
