The Management Comments
In the third quarter of this year, Company's revenue was $1.62 billion, up 3.9% sequentially, which was at the midpoint of the guidance; gross margin was 19.8%, down 0.5 percentage points comparing to the previous quarter. The Company's overall shipments continued to increase, up 9.5% sequentially. Since the total capacity as the denominator increased to 796 thousand wafers, the utilization rate decreased by 1.2 percentage points to 77.1%.
The Company expects the fourth quarter's revenue to grow by 1% to 3% sequentially; the gross margin will be dragged by the continuous depreciation pressure of the new capacity, which is expected to be in the range of 16~18%.
