Revenue Analysis:
1Q10 revenue reached NT$92.19 billion, up 0.1% from 4Q09, as demand was stronger than seasonal in all major applications. Consumer was the strongest with a 9% sequential growth. Communication and Industrial both grew 2% sequentially, while Computer related products declined 3% from the prior quarter.
By technology, revenue from 40/45nm grew strongly as a result of strong demand and continued yields improvement; 40/45nm reached 14% of total wafer sales in 1Q10, from 9% in the prior quarter. Meanwhile, revenues from 65nm and 90nm remained solid and accounted for 27% and 17% of total wafer sales, respectively. Revenues from 0.13-micron and below represented 71% of total wafer sales, up 1 percentage point from the last quarter.
Revenues from IDM customers accounted for 23% of total wafer sales in 1Q10, up 2 percentage points from 4Q09.
From a geographic perspective, revenues from customers based in North America accounted for 68% of total wafer sales, while sales from Asia Pacific, China, Europe and Japan accounted for 15%, 2%, 11%, and 4% of total wafer sales, respectively.

Gross Profit Analysis:
1Q10 gross margin was 47.9%, down by 0.6 percentage point from 48.5% in 4Q09. The increase in depreciation could have been more than offset by other manufacturing cost improvement. However, the effect from the March 4th earthquake resulted in additional cost from tool recovery and moves loss, which brought the gross margin down by 0.9 percentage point. The unfavorable exchange rate further reduced the gross margin by 0.4 percentage point.

Non-Operating Items:
Combined result from non-operating income and long-term investments was a gain of NT$1.18 billion for 1Q10.
Non-operating income was NT$1.00 billion, down NT$0.43 billion from 4Q09, primarily due to NT$0.33 billion less litigation compensation, and, to a lesser extent, wafer scrap loss of NT$0.19 billion resulting from the March 4th earthquake.
Net investment gain was NT$0.18 billion, lower than NT$0.30 billion in the prior quarter, as SSMC’s earnings was reduced by an inventory revaluation loss and less government subsidies.

Liquidity Analysis:
At the end of 1Q10, cash and marketable securities totaled NT$192.01 billion, decreased by NT$3.79 billion from 4Q09, primarily due to the acquisition of Motech shares of NT$6.23 billion, balanced by net proceeds from disposal of long-term financial instruments.
Account receivables increased by NT$4.39 billion from the lower base in 4Q09.
Inventory went up by NT$1.78 billion, mainly due to increased volume of work-in-progress to support stronger demand in 2Q10.
Total current liabilities decreased NT$0.95 billion, primarily due to the decrease in accrued employee profit sharing/bonus during the quarter (please refer to page 4).
Net working capital was NT$187.44 billion and current ratio was 3.4x.

Accrued Employee Profit Sharing /Bonus:
In the past, TSMC distributed employee profit sharing/bonus once a year after the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting and upon shareholders’ approval. Due to change in compensation scheme, half of 2009’s profit sharing/bonus was distributed as employee bonus in the first quarter. Starting this year, half of the quarterly accrued employee profit sharing/bonus will be distributed in the following quarter as employee bonus. The remaining half will be distributed as employee profit sharing after the AGM, subject to shareholders’ approval.
Therefore, NT$6.66 billion, which was half of 2009’s accrued employee profit sharing/bonus, was distributed during 1Q10. Meanwhile, 1Q10 accrued employee profit sharing/bonus was NT$4.62 billion.
In sum, the ending balance was NT$11.39 billion.

Summary of Cash Flow:
Cash generated from operating activities totaled NT$46.03 billion during the quarter, a decrease of NT$15.97 billion from 4Q09, primarily due to the payment of employee bonus of NT$6.66 billion and the increase in accounts receivable of NT$4.89 billion.
Net cash used in investing activities increased NT$9.19 billion to NT$56.29 billion in 1Q10, mainly due to the acquisition of Motech shares and higher capital expenditures.
Net cash used in financing activities was NT$0.84 billion during the quarter.
As a result, TSMC ended 1Q10 with a cash balance of NT$159.80 billion.
(PERFORMANCE GRAPH)
Operating and Free Cash Flows:
Cash flows generated from operating activities were NT$46.03 billion during the quarter. Free cash flow, defined as the excess of operating cash flows over capital expenditures, decreased by NT$19.40 billion compared to 4Q09, mainly due to the decrease in operating cash flow of NT$15.97 billion as discussed in previous paragraphs, and to a lesser extent, higher capital expenditures with a NT$3.43 billion increase compared with 4Q09.
