Note 1:

Unless otherwise stated, all financial figures discussed in this announcement are prepared in accordance with ROC GAAP, which differ in some material respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. They are un-audited, unconsolidated, and represent comparisons among the three-month period ending Jun 30, 2011, the three-month period ending March 31, 2011, and the equivalent three-month period that ended Jun 30, 2010. For all 2Q11 results, New Taiwan Dollar (NT$) amounts have been converted into U.S. Dollars at the Jun 30, 2011 exchange rate of NT$28.71 per U.S. Dollar.



United Microelectronics Corporation (NYSE: UMC; TWSE: 2303) ("UMC" or "The Company"), a leading global semiconductor foundry, today announced its unconsolidated operating results for the second quarter of 2011.

Revenue was NT$28.15 billion, a 0.1% quarter-over-quarter increase from NT$28.12 billion in 1Q11, and a 5.4% year-over-year decrease from NT$29.75 billion in 2Q10.  Gross margin was 23.9%, operating margin was 11.8%, net income was NT$3.19 billion, and earnings per ordinary share were NT$0.26.

Dr. Shih-Wei Sun, CEO of UMC, said: "In Q2 2011, wafer shipments reached 1.15 million 8-inch equivalent wafers, in line with UMC's guidance. As we enter the third quarter of 2011, certain macroeconomic factors such as European and U.S. sovereign debt issues and emerging market inflation have led to unfavorable global economic conditions. These macro uncertainties have led customers to adopt a conservative outlook. Furthermore, customers have adjusted their order patterns in order to consume elevated inventory levels due to overstocking after Japan's March earthquake. This ongoing situation has negatively impacted the worldwide semiconductor industry and will offset the high demand season traditionally seen during the second half of the year. Consequently, we anticipate UMC's business performance may reflect this weakened demand condition beyond Q3."

"During this period, we will further enhance our operations through active customer diversification, efficient business execution, and aggressive cost control measures. We will also focus on the opportunities ahead. UMC's CAPEX, which remains at US$1.8 billion for 2011, will support our advanced production ramp. UMC's R&D efforts will continue in earnest to prepare for customers' future technology requirements. We will also leverage our foundry technologies to take advantage of the fast-growing mobile communication and computing markets with high performance/low power consumption requirements. UMC's volume production 40nm process is expected to reach 10% of revenue by the end of 2011. We are also smoothly developing our 28nm process and design IP platform, with the first of several 28nm customer products entering pilot production in Q3, 2011.  For 65nm, UMC will benefit from the second wave of new customers targeting specialty technologies including analog, high voltage, CMOS image sensor, and embedded non-volatile memory products. We believe through the leadership of our cohesive, high caliber management team, healthy capital structure, and clearly defined business strategy, UMC will emerge from the downturn stronger and better positioned to capitalize on the business opportunities in 2012 and beyond."

Revenue increased 0.1% QoQ to NT$28.15 billion from NT$28.12 billion in 1Q11, and decreased 5.4% YoY from NT$29.75 billion in 2Q10. Wafer shipments increased 2.2% QoQ; however, the associated revenue growth was mostly offset by the appreciation of the NT dollar. Gross profit was NT$6.72 billion, or 23.9% of revenue, compared to NT$7.74 billion, or 27.5% of 1Q11 revenue. Operating income for the quarter was NT$3.32 billion, or 11.8% of revenue, compared to NT$4.44 billion, or 15.8% of 1Q11 revenue. Net income in 2Q11 was NT$3.19 billion, compared to NT$4.48 billion in 1Q11.

Earnings per ordinary share for the quarter were NT$0.26. Earnings per ADS (Note 2) were US$0.045.  The basic weighted average number of outstanding shares in 2Q11 was 12,513,899,178, compared with 12,513,899,178 shares in 1Q11 and 12,449,924,578 shares in 2Q10.  The diluted weighted average number of outstanding shares was 13,013,072,483 in 2Q11, compared with 12,810,053,573 shares in 1Q11 and 12,638,413,042 shares in 2Q10.  The fully diluted share count on June 30, 2011 was approximately 14,349,267,000.  On June 30, 2011, UMC held 458 million treasury shares acquired from the 13th and 14th share buy-back programs.

Revenue from the Consumer sector grew to 29% of total 2Q11 revenue was due to relatively stronger demand from DTV and STB in 2Q11. Weak feature phone related demand resulted in decreased Communication sector revenue contribution for Q2.

Wafer shipments increased 2.2% sequentially to 1,145K in 2Q11, compared to 1,120K 8-inch equivalent wafers shipped in 1Q11. Since wafer capacity increased in Q2, overall utilization rate for the quarter dropped to 87%.

Capacity (Note 6)

Note 6:

Estimated capacity numbers are based on calculated maximum output rather than designed capacity. The actual capacity numbers may differ depending upon equipment delivery schedules, pace of migration to more advanced process technologies, and other factors affecting production ramp-up.



Capacity during the second quarter was 1,330K 8-inch equivalent wafers. The increase in total capacity is mainly due to advanced capacity expansion at 12" fabs. The estimated installed capacity in 3Q11 will increase to 1,358K 8-inch equivalent wafers.
