SMIC Reports 2022 Second Quarter Results
SHANGHAI -- Aug. 11, 2022 -- Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SEHK: 00981; SSE STAR MARKET: 688981) ("SMIC", the "Company" or "we"), one of the leading semiconductor foundries in the world, today announced its consolidated results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
2022 Second Quarter Highlights
- Revenue was $1,903.2 million in 2Q22, an increase of 3.3% QoQ from$1,841.9 million in 1Q22, and 41.6% YoY from $1,344.1 million in 2Q21.
- Gross profit was $750.5 million in 2Q22, compared to $750.3 million in 1Q22, and 85.3% YoY from $405.0 million in 2Q21.
- Gross margin was 39.4% in 2Q22, compared to 40.7% in 1Q22 and 30.1% in 2Q21.
Third Quarter 2022 Guidance
The following statements are forward looking statements based on current expectations and involved risks and uncertainties. The Company expects (in accordance with IFRS):
- Revenue to increase by 0% to 2% QoQ.
- Gross margin to range from 38% to 40%.
SMIC management commented: "In the second quarter of this year, the company's revenue exceeded US$ 1.9 billion, up 3.3% sequentially, with a small increase in both shipments and ASP. Capacity utilization was 97.1% and gross margin was 39.4%. Due to the limitations on people's movement as a result of the epidemic, some of the fabs did not conduct annual maintenance in the second quarter, causing the overall impact of the epidemic on output to be lower than expected, thus revenue and gross margin in the quarter slightly exceeded guidance.
In the third quarter, revenue is expected to be flat to up 2% sequentially, with gross margins in the range of 38% to 40%.
In the first half of the year, the Company spent a total of $2.5 billion on capital expenditures and increased its 8-inch equivalent capacity by 53 thousand wafers per month, which is in line with the expectation, and the new projects are progressing as planned.
At present, it seems that this cycle adjustment will last at least until the first half of next year. However, what is certain is that the IC industry's demand growth and global localization trend as well as the long-term logic of indigenous manufacturing remains unchanged, although there are short-term adjustments. We remain confident in the company's medium- to long-term growth."
