HSINCHU, Taiwan, April 26 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TSMC today announced consolidated revenue of NT$64.90 billion, net income of NT$18.84 billion, and diluted earnings per share of NT$0.73 (US$0.11 per ADS unit) for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007.

Year-over-year, first quarter revenue decreased 16.6% while net income and diluted EPS decreased 42.2% and 42.3%, respectively. On a sequential basis, first quarter results represent a 13.4% decrease in revenue, and a decrease of 32.5% both in net income and in diluted EPS. All figures were prepared in accordance with R.O.C. GAAP on a consolidated basis.

First quarter business was affected by inventory correction and seasonality, but revenue slightly exceeded the guidance given on January 25. Advanced process technologies (0.13-micron and below) accounted for 49% of wafer revenues with 90-nanometer process technology accounting for 22% and 65-nanometer about 1% of total wafer sales. Gross margin of 37.9% reached the mid point of the guidance, while operating margin of 27.5% was close to the high end of guidance. Net margin decreased 8.2 percentage points to 29% from the previous quarter.

"A majority of our customers' excess inventory has been worked through in the first quarter and the recovery of our business is already in place," said Lora Ho, VP and Chief Financial Officer of TSMC. "Relative to the first quarter, the communication and consumer segments will rebound quite well while the computer segment will grow at a lower pace," said Ho. "Based on our current business outlook, management's expectations for second quarter 2007 performance are as follows":

-- Revenue is expected to be between NT$73 billion and NT$75 billion;

-- Gross profit margin is expected to be between 42% and 44%;

-- Operating profit margin is expected to be between 32% and 34%.

Revenue Analysis:

First quarter business was affected by inventory correction and seasonality, but consolidated net sales exceeded the high end of the guidance slightly to reach NT$64.9 billion, mainly due to better than expected exchange rates and an increase in revenues from our subsidiaries.

On a sequential basis, revenues from all three applications declined. Revenues from computer, communications and consumer applications declined by 21%, 15% and 12%, respectively.

Revenues from 65nm and 90nm accounted for about 23% of total wafer sales, flat from the fourth quarter 2006. Revenues from advanced technologies (0.13-micron and below) accounted for 49% of total wafer sales, up one percentage point from the previous quarter.

Revenues from IDM customers accounted for 30% of total wafer sales during the quarter, compared to 28% in the previous quarter.

Geographically, revenues from North America accounted for 77% of total wafer sales. Meanwhile, sales from Asia Pacific, Europe and Japan accounted for 11%, 7% and 5% of wafer sales, respectively.

Capacity:

Total TSMC managed capacity was 1,890K 8-inch equivalent wafers in 1Q07, 1% lower than the 1,912K 8-inch equivalent wafers in 4Q06, largely due to fewer working days and scheduled annual maintenance for some of the TSMC fabs.

TSMC managed capacity in 2Q07 will increase by 4% to reach 1,968K 8-inch equivalent wafers.

Total managed capacity for year 2007 is expected to be 8,335K 8-inch equivalent wafers, up 18% from 7,062K 8-inch equivalent wafers in year 2006.

The statements included in this press release that are not historical in nature are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. TSMC cautions readers that forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are based on TSMC's current expectations. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons including, among others, risks associated with cyclicality and market conditions in the semiconductor industry; demand and supply for TSMC's foundry manufacturing capacity in particular and for foundry manufacturing capacity in general; intense competition; the failure of one or more significant customers to continue to place the same level of orders with us; TSMC's ability to remain a technological leader in the semiconductor industry; TSMC's ability to manage its capacity; TSMC's ability to obtain, preserve and defend its intellectual property rights; natural disasters and other unexpected events which may disrupt production; and exchange rate fluctuations. Additional information as to these and other risk factors that may cause TSMC's actual results to differ materially from TSMC's forward-looking statements may be found in TSMC's Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 20, 2007, and such other documents as TSMC may file with, or submit to, the SEC from time to time.
