Hsinchu, Taiwan –July, 29 2011 – Faraday Technology Corporation (TSE: 3035), a leading fabless ASIC service and silicon IP provider, today announced its unconsolidated operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The second quarter revenue was NT$1,395 million, while net income and basic earnings per share came to NT$10 million and NT$0.03, respectively.
The Q2 revenue meets the guidance. Within IP revenue was down, but still reached a high level and contributed to the good margin results, meeting the guidance of 40% up. ASIC and NRE revenue increased by a 17% quarter-to-quarter rate, mainly benefited from the higher demand in display and multimedia markets.
In profit-wise, to cater for the emerging SoC projects, Faraday has expanded its cooperation with specific IP vendors and caused the rising operation expense. Meanwhile, a more conservative evaluation was adopted toward its investment businesses, leading to the obvious up of Faraday's non-operating expenses this quarter.
Looking into Q3, IP business will remain at the same or even higher level, sustaining the overall gross margin; ASIC business will keep growing driven by the applications in consumer and PC/PC peripheral sectors.
