United Microelectronics Corporation (NYSE: UMC; TWSE:
2303) (“UMC” or “The Company”), a leading global semiconductor
foundry, today announced its consolidated operating results for the
third quarter of 2024.
Third quarter consolidated revenue was NT$60.49 billion,
increasing 6.5% from NT$56.80 billion in 2Q24. Compared to a year
ago, 3Q24 revenue increased 6.0%. Consolidated gross margin for
3Q24 was 33.8%. Net income attributable to the shareholders of the
parent was NT$14.47 billion, with earnings per ordinary share of
NT$1.16.
Jason Wang, co-president of UMC, said, “In the third quarter, we
delivered results that were in line with guidance. In particular,
wafer shipments grew more than expected, increasing 7.8%
sequentially due to strong demand for 22/28nm products. Our
strategy is to develop specialty technology solutions that deliver
best-in-class performance, and I am pleased to report that revenue
in absolute dollar derived from our specialty portfolio hit a
record high in the third quarter, accounting for 53.1% of total
sales. In our industry, technology is fundamental. We continue to
invest significantly in technology development every year to ensure
we are ready to support customers’ next-generation product features
with more advanced solutions. For instance, our 22nm display driver
solution was the first to be made available to the market and
offers unparalleled performance, and we foresee strong tape-out
momentum in the upcoming months.”
Co-president Wang commented, “With regards to Q4 outlook, we are
seeing demand stabilizing across end markets and a clear downward
trend in inventory levels. Looking ahead, we have a number of
exciting technology and collaboration projects in the pipeline as
we continue to align closely with our customers’ product roadmaps.
In addition, as we hear consistently from customers, UMC’s
diversified manufacturing footprint is also very important in
supporting their long-term strategies. Our new fab expansion in
Singapore is nearing completion while our collaboration with Intel
remains on track. These projects will further enhance our value
proposition to customers and strengthen our position in the foundry
industry.”
Co-president Wang added, “We released our 2023 Sustainability
Report during the third quarter, which is available on our website
for all stakeholders to read. I would like to highlight the
progress we have made towards our energy transition goals, with
renewable energy use doubling in 2023 from the previous year to
account for 11.1% of UMC’s total energy consumption. With a
181-megawatt peak renewable energy purchase agreement coming into
effect this year, we are on track to achieving our progressive
targets of 25% renewable energy by 2025 and 50% by 2030.”
