TAIPEI, Taiwan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 26, 2022--
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 2022.
Third quarter consolidated revenue was NT$75.39 billion, increasing 4.6% QoQ from NT$72.06 billion in 2Q22. Compared to a year ago, 3Q22 revenue grew 34.9% YoY from NT$55.91 billion in 3Q21. Consolidated gross margin for 3Q22 reached 47.3%. Net income attributable to the shareholders of the parent was NT$27 billion, with earnings per ordinary share of NT$2.19.
Jason Wang, co-president of UMC, said, “In the third quarter, our results benefited from product mix optimization and a more favorable exchange rate, while fab capacity remained fully utilized. Despite softening demand in consumer end markets, strengths in certain wireless communications areas drove further expansion in our 22/28nm business, which accounted for 25% of overall third-quarter revenue and lifted wafer average selling price. We believe our industry-leading position in OLED display driver ICs will continue to drive growth for our 22/28nm technologies amid growing adoption of OLED panels in smartphones and other end devices. We also saw sustained momentum in our automotive business during the quarter, and we intend to pursue more collaboration opportunities with existing and potential automotive customers.”
