Hsinchu, Taiwan – February 23, 2023 - ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES INC. (“ChipMOS” or the “Company”) (Taiwan Stock Exchange: 8150 and NASDAQ: IMOS), an industry leading provider of outsourced semiconductor assembly and test services (“OSAT”), today reported consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year ended December 31, 2022. The Company noted that reported sequential and year over year declines are consistent with continued macro weakness, and inventory adjustments at customers in response to end market demand levels, in particular in the consumer market. All U.S. dollar figures cited in this press release are based on the exchange rate of NT$30.73 against US$1.00 as of December 30, 2022.

 

All the figures were prepared in accordance with Taiwan-International Financial Reporting Standards (“Taiwan-IFRS”).

 

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 was NT$4,686.2 million or US$152.5 million, a decrease of 10.8% from NT$5,254.0 million or US$171.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 and a decrease of 31.0% from NT$6,791.4 million or US$221.0 million for the same period in 2021. Revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 was NT$23,517.1 million or US$765.3 million, a decrease of 14.2% from NT$27,400.0 million or US$891.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Net non-operating expenses in fourth quarter of 2022 were NT$130.0 million or US$4.2 million, compared to net non-operating income NT$403.3 million or US$13.1 million in the third quarter of 2022. The increase of net non-operating expenses compared to the third quarter of 2022 is mainly due to an increase of the foreign exchange losses of NT$515 million or US$16.8 million, and a decrease of share of profit of associates accounted for using equity method of NT$87 million or US$2.8 million, which was partially offset by an increase of gain on valuation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of NT$47 million or US$1.5 million and interest income of NT$27 million or US$0.9 million. Net non-operating income in fourth quarter of 2021 was NT$319.3 million or US$10.4 million. The difference is mainly due to a lower share of profit of associates accounted for using equity method of NT$291 million or US$9.5 million, an increase of the foreign exchange losses of NT$206 million or US$6.7 million and partially offset by the increase of interest income of NT$35 million or US$1.1 million and gain on valuation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of NT$14 million or US$0.5 million.

The increase is mainly due to an increase of the foreign exchange gains of NT$537 million or US$17.5 million and interest income of NT$47 million or US$1.5 million and partially offset by the decrease of share of profit of associates accounted for using equity method of NT$172 million or US$5.6 million and increase of loss on valuation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of NT$85 million or US$2.8 million.
