The Management Comments
In the second quarter of 2023, the Company's revenue increased by 6.7% sequentially to $1.56 billion, and gross margin declined 0.5 percentage points to 20.3%. The capacity demand of 12-inch were relatively full, while the customer demand of 8-inch were weak. The utilization rate for 8-inch was lower than 12-inch, but still better than the industry average.
Third quarter's revenue is expected to grow by 3%-5% sequentially, and gross margin is expected to be in the range of 18%-20%. Shipments are expected to continue to increase in the third quarter, meanwhile, the depreciation will also continue to increase. The Company's revenue in the second half of the year is expected to be better than that in the first half.
We will continue to strengthen our technology R&D and platform development, verify new products quickly, arrange the supporting capacity as soon as possible, and fully prepare for the next round of growth cycle.
