All figures were prepared in accordance with R.O.C. GAAP on a consolidated basis.
In US dollars, first quarter revenue increased 2.7% from the previous quarter and decreased 1.3% year-over-year.
Gross margin for the quarter was 47.7%, operating margin was 33.6%, and net margin was 31.7%.
28-nanometer process technology accounted for 5% of total wafer revenues, 40-nanometer was 32%, and 65-nanometer accounted for 26%. These advanced technologies accounted for 63% of total wafer revenues.
- Revenue is expected to be between NT$126 billion and NT$128 billion;
- Gross profit margin is expected to be between 47% and 49%;
- Operating profit margin is expected to be between 34.5% and 36.5%.
Due to stronger demand for TSMC’s 28-nanometer technology and the pull-in of a 20-nanometer R&D process line, our estimate for 2012 capital expenditure is raised and is in the US$8-8.5 billion range.
