現在我將電話轉給吉爾。

Thank you, Jennifer. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining the call today. Amkor delivered first-quarter results in line with expectations with revenue of $1.37 billion and EPS of $0.24. Overall, a 7% year-on-year revenue decline with the most significant decline from the automotive and industrial markets.

謝謝你，詹妮弗。大家下午好，感謝大家參加今天的電話會議。 Amkor 第一季業績符合預期，營收為 13.7 億美元，每股收益為 0.24 美元。整體而言，營收年減7%，其中汽車和工業市場的降幅最為顯著。

After a multi-quarter industry cycle, we believe the first quarter marks the low point for revenue and utilization for Amkor. Although macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties continue to impact market sentiments, we observed positive signs of market recovery in multiple areas across our portfolio. During the quarter, we continued to focus on our strategic pillars to elevate our leadership position. With our strong technology leadership in advanced packaging, a unique diversified global footprint, and partnerships with lead customers in the secular growth markets, we are well positioned to accelerate as the industry exits the cycle.

在經歷了多個季度的行業週期後，我們認為第一季是 Amkor 收入和利用率的最低點。儘管宏觀經濟和地緣政治的不確定性繼續影響市場情緒，但我們觀察到投資組合中多個領域出現了市場復甦的正面跡象。本季度，我們繼續專注於我們的策略支柱，以提升我們的領導地位。憑藉我們在先進封裝領域的強大技術領導地位、獨特多元化的全球影響力、以及與長期成長市場中主要客戶的合作夥伴關係，我們已做好準備，在行業退出週期時加速發展。

Now let me review the dynamics in each of our end markets. Revenue in the communications end market declined 3% year-on-year in the first quarter. Within the iOS ecosystem, we experienced a larger-than-seasonal correction after record revenues in the second half of 2023. Within the Android supply chain as well as in NAND memory, we observed improvement in demand and year-on-year growth from the lows in 2023. Overall smartphone units are projected to be up low single digits this year. We believe that the introduction of AI into edge devices like smartphones will accelerate innovation and drive increased demand for advanced packaging solutions. With Amkor's strong position throughout premium tier smartphones and our advanced packaging leadership, we expect this to create opportunities for further business growth.

現在讓我回顧一下我們每個終端市場的動態。第一季通訊終端市場營收年減3%。在 iOS 生態系統中，我們在 2023 年下半年創下創紀錄的收入後經歷了一次大於季節性的調整。我們相信，將人工智慧引入智慧型手機等邊緣設備將加速創新並推動對先進封裝解決方案的需求增加。憑藉 Amkor 在高階智慧型手機領域的強勢地位和我們在先進封裝領域的領導地位，我們預計這將為進一步的業務成長創造機會。

In Q1, revenue in our automotive and industrial business declined 22% year-on-year as several of our customers implemented inventory control measures. Despite these near-term inventory corrections, long-term drivers for growth remain intact. Semiconductor content per car is expected to continue to increase, driven by the proliferation of ADAS, electrification, infotainment, and telematics all requiring advanced packaging technology.

第一季度，由於我們的多家客戶實施了庫存控制措施，我們的汽車和工業業務收入較去年同期下降 22%。儘管近期庫存有所調整，但長期成長動力依然完好。由於 ADAS、電氣化、資訊娛樂和遠端資訊處理的普及需要先進的封裝技術，每輛汽車的半導體含量預計將持續增加。

Amkor is the leading automotive OSAT and has multiple decades of experience meeting the stringent requirements of the automotive industry. During the quarter, we used our Portugal facility as a base for enhancing key partnerships with industry leaders in support of a resilient European semiconductor supply chain. We also expanded engagements with leading Japanese automotive semiconductor companies through our factory in Kumamoto and other locations in Japan. We remain focused on leveraging our broad geographic footprint and strengthening partnerships with leading automotive semiconductor customers.

Amkor 是領先的汽車 OSAT，擁有數十年滿足汽車行業嚴格要求的經驗。在本季度，我們利用葡萄牙工廠作為基地，加強與產業領導者的關鍵合作關係，以支持有彈性的歐洲半導體供應鏈。我們也透過位於熊本和日本其他地區的工廠擴大了與日本領先汽車半導體公司的合作。我們將繼續致力於利用我們廣泛的地理覆蓋範圍並加強與領先汽車半導體客戶的合作夥伴關係。

Revenue from the computing end market increased 4% sequentially, driven by strength in the AI devices and several new product introductions for ARM-based PCs. Slow recovery of infrastructure and traditional server demand resulted in a 4% year-on-year decline. Planned investments to expand 2.5D capacity for AI devices are on track to come online by the end of the second quarter. We also strengthened our R&D efforts in Korea to innovate and enable next-generation advanced packaging technologies for high-performance computing.

受人工智慧設備強勁成長和多款基於 ARM 的個人電腦新產品推出的推動，運算端市場營收季增 4%。基礎設施和傳統伺服器需求復甦緩慢，導致年減4%。用於擴大 AI 設備 2.5D 產能的計畫投資預計將在第二季末上線。我們也加強了在韓國的研發力度，以創新和實現用於高效能運算的下一代先進封裝技術。

The consumer end market increased 6% year-on-year and experienced a typical seasonal decline in the first quarter. Traditional consumer product demand remains weak, while increased demand for IoT wearables drove the year-on-year growth. Production ramps of new products, utilizing advanced SiP technologies are on track for high volume production in the second half of this year. Amkor is engaged with lead customers across a diverse set of products, ranging from audio devices, smartwatches, and the emerging AR/VR experience. Our advanced SiP expertise positions us well for growth, and we continue to expand capacity and invest to drive manufacturing scale and innovation.

消費端市場年增6%，第一季出現典型的季節性下滑。傳統消費品需求依然疲軟，而物聯網穿戴裝置需求增加推動了年成長。採用先進 SiP 技術的新產品預計將於今年下半年實現量產。 Amkor 與主要客戶合作提供多種產品，包括音訊設備、智慧手錶以及新興的 AR/VR 體驗。我們先進的 SiP 專業知識為我們提供了良好的成長基礎，並且我們將繼續擴大產能並進行投資以推動製造規模和創新。

During the first quarter, our manufacturing organization continued to demonstrate operational excellence with a focus on cost control while maintaining the high-quality standards required by our customers. We focused on optimizing capacity for 2.5D technology in Korea, supporting AI data center applications, and on qualifying advanced SiP and memory technology in Vietnam to support ramps in the second half of this year. Additionally, we progressed our plans for our advanced packaging and test facility in Arizona and submitted our full application for CHIPS funding.

第一季度，我們的製造部門繼續展現卓越的運營，注重成本控制，同時保持客戶要求的高品質標準。我們專注於優化韓國 2.5D 技術的產能，支援 AI 資料中心應用，並在越南推廣先進的 SiP 和記憶體技術，以支援今年下半年的成長。此外，我們推進了位於亞利桑那州的先進封裝和測試設施的計劃，並提交了 CHIPS 資助的完整申請。

Now let me turn to our second quarter outlook. After a multi-quarter semiconductor industry cycle, we believe the first quarter marked the low point of our revenue. We expect second-quarter revenue of $1.45 billion, which represents sequential growth of 6% and flat revenue year-on-year. Overall, our expectations for full-year 2024 have not changed. We foresee a muted first half followed by strong growth in the second half, driven by the seasonal launch of premium tier smartphones, a meaningful ramp of a new consumer wearable program, and additional capacity coming online for 2.5D technology.

現在讓我來談談我們第二季的展望。在經歷了多個季度的半導體產業週期後，我們認為第一季是我們收入的低點。我們預計第二季營收為 14.5 億美元，季增 6%，與去年同期持平。整體而言，我們對 2024 年全年的預期並沒有改變。我們預計上半年將會表現平淡，下半年將會強勁成長，這得益於高階智慧型手機的季節性發布、新型消費穿戴裝置專案的顯著提升以及 2.5D 技術的額外產能上線。

Assumptions for more balanced inventory levels within Android, memory, and PCs and additional confidence. Although the automotive and industrial market appears to be softening more than we expected earlier this year, we see upsides in other areas of our portfolio. We believe that the secular growth drivers for the semiconductor industry remain in place. And with our leading technology portfolio, scale, and global footprint, we are confident in our position to accelerate as the industry exits the current cycle.

假設 Android、記憶體和 PC 的庫存水準更加平衡且信心增強。儘管汽車和工業市場似乎比我們今年稍早預期的要疲軟得多，但我們看到投資組合中其他領域存在上行空間。我們相信半導體產業的長期成長動力仍然存在。憑藉我們領先的技術組合、規模和全球影響力，我們有信心在產業退出當前週期時加速發展。

With that, I will now turn the call over to Megan to provide more detailed financial information.

說完這些，我現在將電話轉給梅根，以提供更詳細的財務資訊。

Thank you, Giel, and good afternoon, everyone. Amkor delivered first-quarter revenue of $1.37 billion, in line with expectations. We believe this will be the lowest revenue quarter for this cycle as we see signs of recovery and anticipate a stronger second half. First quarter gross profit was $202 million, and gross margin was 14.8%. Gross margin includes a benefit of approximately 100 basis points related to lower depreciation expense on our test equipment.

謝謝你，吉爾，大家下午好。 Amkor 第一季營收為 13.7 億美元，符合預期。我們相信這將是本週期收入最低的季度，因為我們看到了復甦的跡象並預計下半年會更加強勁。第一季毛利為2.02億美元，毛利率為14.8%。毛利率包括與我們測試設備的較低折舊費用相關的約 100 個基點的收益。

During the quarter, we performed a periodic assessment of the useful lives of our manufacturing equipment and extended the estimated useful life of our test equipment as a result of broader and longer use. The factory teams continue to utilize temporary cost control measures during the quarter in response to the low utilization environment. Headcount control, overtime reduction, and reduced work weeks contributed to lower labor costs. Reduced factory supplies and maintenance contributed to a decrease in other costs of goods sold. These focused cost containment measures are flexible tools, allowing us to sustain profitability while maintaining the ability to support an anticipated increase in demand in the second half of 2024.

在本季度，我們對製造設備的使用壽命進行了定期評估，並由於使用範圍更廣泛且使用時間更長而延長了測試設備的預計使用壽命。為因應低利用率環境，工廠團隊本季持續採用臨時成本控制措施。控制員工人數、減少加班和縮短工作週有助於降低勞動成本。工廠供應和維護的減少導致其他銷售成本的下降。這些有針對性的成本控制措施是一種靈活的工具，使我們能夠保持獲利能力，同時保持支援 2024 年下半年預期需求成長的能力。

Operating expenses for the quarter came in as expected at $129 million, reflecting an annual reset of employee compensation levels as well as costs to bring our new Vietnam factory online. Operating income was $73 million and operating income margin was 5.4%.

本季的營運費用達到預期的 1.29 億美元，反映了員工薪資水準的年度調整以及新越南工廠投產的成本。營業收入為7,300萬美元，營業收入利潤率為5.4%。

Net income for the first quarter was $59 million, resulting in EPS of $0.24, which includes a $0.05 benefit from the change in depreciable useful lives of our test equipment. First quarter EBITDA was $233 million, and EBITDA margin was 17.1%.

第一季淨收入為 5,900 萬美元，每股收益為 0.24 美元，其中包括測試設備折舊使用壽命變化帶來的 0.05 美元收益。第一季 EBITDA 為 2.33 億美元，EBITDA 利潤率為 17.1%。

Our balance sheet remains strong. We ended the quarter with $1.6 billion of cash and short-term investments and total liquidity of $2.2 billion.

我們的資產負債表依然強勁。截至本季末，我們的現金和短期投資為 16 億美元，總流動資金為 22 億美元。

Our total debt as of the end of the quarter is $1.2 billion, and our debt-to-EBITDA ratio is 1x.

截至本季末，我們的總負債為 12 億美元，負債與 EBITDA 比率為 1 倍。

Moving on to our second quarter outlook. We expect Q2 revenue of around $1.45 billion, representing a sequential increase of 6%, slightly stronger than historical seasonality. While there are still some areas of softness, we are seeing signs of returning to a more balanced seasonal demand pattern. We expect the gross margin to be between 13% and 15%, reflecting a product mix with higher material content. We expect Q2 operating expenses to increase to around $135 million, primarily due to preparation costs for our Vietnam factory. Our activities to qualify initial products are on track, and we expect to begin high-volume manufacturing in the second half of the year.

接下來是我們對第二季的展望。我們預計第二季營收約 14.5 億美元，季增 6%，略強於歷史季節性。儘管一些領域仍存在疲軟跡象，但我們看到了恢復至更平衡的季節性需求模式的跡象。我們預計毛利率在 13% 至 15% 之間，這反映了產品組合中材料含量的增加。我們預計第二季的營運費用將增加至約 1.35 億美元，這主要是由於我們越南工廠的準備成本。我們對初始產品的認證活動正在順利進行，我們預計將在今年下半年開始大量生產。

We expect our full-year effective tax rate to be around 18%. Second quarter net income is expected to be between $35 million and $75 million, resulting in EPS of $0.14 to $0.30. Our CapEx forecast for the year remains at $750 million. Our investments are primarily focused on increasing advanced packaging capacity for 2.5D and advanced SiP as well as expanding select manufacturing facilities.

我們預計全年有效稅率約為18%。預計第二季淨收入在 3,500 萬美元至 7,500 萬美元之間，每股收益在 0.14 美元至 0.30 美元之間。我們對今年的資本支出預測仍為 7.5 億美元。我們的投資主要集中在提高 2.5D 和先進 SiP 的封裝能力以及擴大精選製造設施。

Amkor is a technology leader with decades of experience, and we have leveraged that experience to successfully navigate through this semiconductor cycle. We managed our cost structure to align with lower demand, preserve profitability, and generate free cash flow. We continue to invest in the most advanced packaging technology to support growth markets such as high-performance computing, specifically for AI applications. We strategically invested to further expand our broad geographic footprint by completing our Vietnam factory and beginning the qualification of new products.

Amkor 是一家擁有數十年經驗的技術領導者，我們利用這些經驗成功度過了半導體週期。我們管理成本結構以適應較低的需求，保持獲利能力並產生自由現金流。我們持續投資最先進的封裝技術，以支援高效能運算等成長市場，特別是人工智慧應用。我們進行了策略性投資，透過完成越南工廠並開始新產品的認證，進一步擴大我們廣泛的地理覆蓋範圍。

These activities enable us to serve the world's leading semiconductor companies in this dynamic environment, and we are poised for growth as we exit the cycle.

這些活動使我們能夠在這種動態的環境中為世界領先的半導體公司提供服務，並且我們在退出週期時已準備好實現成長。

With that, we will now open the call up for your questions. Operator?

現在，我們將開始回答大家的提問。操作員？

(Operator Instructions) Our first question comes from Toshiya Hari with Goldman Sachs.

(操作員指示) 我們的第一個問題來自高盛的 Toshiya Hari。

Congrats on the strong results. Giel, for the full year, you mentioned that your outlook remains largely unchanged. You did comment that auto and industrial are a little softer than what you had expected 3 months ago. So what are some of the offsets, if you can walk through how you're thinking about computing, consumer, et cetera, that would be helpful.

恭喜您取得的優異成績。吉爾，您提到，對於全年前景，您的展望基本上保持不變。您確實評論說汽車和工業表現比您三個月前的預期要疲軟一些。那麼，如果您可以闡述您對計算、消費者等的看法，那麼有哪些抵銷措施呢？

Yes, Toshi, good to see you on the call. I mean some of the offsets for that will compensate in our view for the weaker automotive performance during this year will come, first of all, from the launch of the communication devices in the second half of the year. We see there some upsides also with the recovery of the Android markets that will give us slightly an upside, but also on the compute side as well as on the consumer side, the elements that we mentioned before, the launch of a new device for consumer as well as the 2.5D upsides where we expect 2024 revenue to be triple the revenue in 2023, that will give us compensation for the lower automotive performance.

是的，Toshi，很高興在電話中見到你。我們認為，今年汽車產業表現較弱的部分原因將首先來自於今年下半年通訊設備的推出。我們也看到了一些好處，隨著 Android 市場的復甦，這將為我們帶來一些好處，但在計算方面和消費者方面，我們之前提到的因素，推出一款新的消費者設備以及 2.5D 的好處，我們預計 2024 年的收入將是 2023 年收入的三倍，這將彌補汽車性能下降的不足。

And then as my follow-up, maybe one for Megan, on the gross margin side. So in Q1, even if you exclude the benefit from lower depreciation, I think gross margins came in towards the high end of guidance. What drove the upside in Q1? Was it just conservatism on your part 3 months ago? Or did you see any pricing upside or what have you, maybe it was mix? And then for Q2, you talked about the mix deteriorating with higher material costs. If you can expand on that, that would be helpful.

然後作為我的後續問題，也許我想問一下梅根，關於毛利率方面。因此，在第一季度，即使排除折舊減少的好處，我認為毛利率也會達到預期的高點。推動第一季上漲的因素有哪些？三個月前你們只是採取保守主義嗎？或者您是否看到了任何價格上漲，或者是什麼，也許是混合？然後對於第二季度，您談到了由於材料成本上升導致產品組合惡化。如果您可以詳細說明這一點，那將會很有幫助。

So with respect to the outperformance, you're right that our gross margin performance, even without that depreciation benefit exceeded even on the higher revenue in our range. Really, the only notable thing was I would say there was continued cost control. So the costs came in slightly lower than what we had guided despite the upside in revenue. So that's the story around Q1 gross margin. As we move into Q2, you'll note that there is some pressure on the gross margin percentage. That is a product mix element. We're anticipating as we move into the Q2 and as we start to see things come in for communications, there will be higher advanced SiP products, and those tend to have a higher material content associated with that.

因此，就優異表現而言，您說得對，即使沒有折舊收益，我們的毛利率表現也超過了我們範圍內的更高收入。確實，唯一值得注意的是成本控制的持續進行。因此，儘管收入增加，但成本卻略低於我們預期的水平。這就是第一季毛利率的情況。隨著我們進入第二季度，您會注意到毛利率百分比面臨一些壓力。這是一個產品組合元素。我們預計，隨著進入第二季並開始看到通訊領域的發展，將會出現更先進的 SiP 產品，而這些產品往往具有更高的材料含量。

So despite there being higher material content putting pressure on the gross margin percentage, we are expecting to have higher gross profit dollars.

因此，儘管材料含量較高對毛利率造成壓力，但我們預期毛利會更高。

And our next question comes from Ben Reitzes with Melius Research.

我們的下一個問題來自 Melius Research 的 Ben Reitzes。

I wanted to ask about the smartphone market. Just as we go throughout the year, are you expecting a strong second half of launches in 2024? Or does it feel like 2025 is when AI really kicks in? And just if you can characterize smartphones this year. I'd appreciate it. And then I have a follow-up.

我想問一下智慧型手機市場的情況。正如我們全年的情況一樣，您是否預計 2024 年下半年的發布會將強勁進行？還是你覺得 2025 年才是人工智慧真正發揮作用的年份？如果你能描述一下今年的智慧型手機的話。我將非常感激。然後我有一個後續問題。

On the smartphone market, 2 comments from my side. One is the volumes are expected to go up, let's say, mid-single digits if we compare the market versus 2023. And on top of that, we see that the inventory levels, specifically on the Android side when we enter the year are lower, and that gives us some upside there. That's one important trend that drives the market up. The second trend is a trend where we see both in the China market as well as in the non-China smartphone market, a trend toward higher-end smartphones. And that gives a place to over advantage our position in the premium tier segment of the smartphone market is better than in the midrange or low end. So given these 2 elements, we see some upside on the smartphone market as compared to our earlier assumptions entering this year.

關於智慧型手機市場，我有 2 則評論。一方面，如果我們將市場與 2023 年進行比較，預計銷量將上升，比如說，上升中個位數。這是推動市場上漲的一個重要趨勢。第二個趨勢是我們在中國市場和非中國智慧型手機市場都看到的趨勢，也就是智慧型手機朝向高階化的趨勢。這使得我們在智慧型手機市場高階領域的地位比中階或低階領域更具優勢。因此，考慮到這兩個因素，我們認為智慧型手機市場將比我們今年早些時候的假設有所上升。

Great Megan, for you, on the gross margin, I just want to clarify. So there's a $0.05 benefit from depreciation in the quarter. It's going to last, I assume, all year each quarter. Can we flow that through to earnings? Or were you in answer to the prior question, mentioning that there could be offsets that make up for it? Or can we flow through each quarter, the upside from that change?

偉大的梅根，關於毛利率，我只想向您澄清一下。因此本季的折舊收益為 0.05 美元。我認為這種情況將持續全年每季。我們可以將其計入收益嗎？或者您是在回答前面的問題時提到可能會有補償措施來彌補這一點？或者我們能否在每個季度中體現出這種變化帶來的好處？

Ben, yes, with respect to the change in estimated useful lives, that impact in Q1 as disclosed, was about $0.05 on the bottom line. As we go through the year, that benefit is going to gradually decrease as those assets become fully depreciated. So as we get through the second half, that impact will become less than it is, say, in Q1 and further out. So it won't be something that you can just add straight to the bottom line.

本，是的，關於預計使用壽命的變化，據披露，該變化對第一季的影響約為 0.05 美元。隨著時間的流逝，隨著這些資產的完全折舊，該福利將逐漸減少。因此，當我們進入下半年時，這種影響將比第一季及以後更小。所以它不是你可以直接加到底線的東西。

Our next question comes from Craig Ellis with B. Riley Securities.

我們的下一個問題來自 B. Riley Securities 的 Craig Ellis。

Congratulations on the good performance, Giel and Megan. I wanted to go back 3 months, Megan, and just use that as a reference point to understand how you're thinking about the business' performance half-on-half. I think 3 months ago, we thought there was potential for 30% half-on-half growth. Is that still the right way to look at the business?

恭喜吉爾和梅根的出色表現。梅根，我想回顧 3 個月前，並以此為參考點，了解您如何看待業務的半年度表現。我想三個月前，我們認為有30%的年增幅的潛力。這仍然是看待業務的正確方式嗎？

Well, let me start giving some comments, Greg, and then maybe Megan can give some more details. I mean, the assumption is still that we see roughly a 30% first-half, second-half seasonality. We expect the first half to come in a bit better than we originally anticipated. So with that seasonality still in place and the underlying assumption to that higher seasonality still being confirmed, we expect, let's say, the outlook similar than 3 months ago. That's on a qualitative basis. And Megan, can you add to that?

好吧，格雷格，讓我開始發表一些評論，然後梅根也許可以提供更多細節。我的意思是，我們仍然假設上半年和下半年的季節性約為 30%。我們預計上半年的表現會比我們最初預期的要好一些。因此，由於季節性仍然存在，並且更高季節性的基本假設仍然得到證實，我們預計前景與 3 個月前相似。這是從質量角度而言的。梅根，您能補充一下嗎？

Yes, Craig. So I would say, overall, that's the same sentiment. It's just the puts and takes that get us to that have shifted a bit, as we just previously described with a bit weaker automotive and a bit more upside in some of the other markets. So even though there's an outperformance in Q1, and I would say our Q2 guide is slightly better than seasonal. For the full year, I would still say we would anticipate something that could be as strong as that '22 second-half growth.

是的，克雷格。所以我想說，總的來說，這是一種相同的觀點。只是我們的看跌期權和看漲期權發生了一些變化，正如我們之前所描述的，汽車市場略顯疲軟，而其他一些市場的上漲空間則更大。因此，儘管第一季的表現優異，但我還是想說，我們的第二季指引比季節性指引略好。對於全年而言，我仍然認為我們預計其成長可能會與 2022 年下半年一樣強勁。

Got it. That's helpful. And then the second one is just a deeper dive into the compute business in the first quarter. So sequentially was better than we had modeled than had expected. Can you just go into a little bit more detail on what drove that? And maybe what I'm getting at is that more memory? Or was there an early start on the 2.5D HPC program for 2Q that might have helped a little bit?

知道了。這很有幫助。第二個是對第一季計算業務的更深入研究。因此，連續表現比我們模型預測的要好。您能否詳細地講一下導致這現象的原因是什麼？也許我想表達的是需要更多的記憶？或者 2.5D HPC 計劃在第二季度提前啟動可能會有一點幫助嗎？

Yes, Greg, I mean, we had some puts and takes in the first quarter on the compute market. On the downside, our more conventional compute business was still slow. I think the conventional servers were still slow. We saw some upside on the memory business, although that was relatively small. We saw a good upside on PC and laptop where we launched some new products in the ARM-based PC market. And since the PC market is gradually improving, that gave us some upside. And I would say the other one was in the data center you already mentioned that slightly better than we expected on the 2.5D, although, let's say, the bigger capacity increase will come on stream in the second quarter, we continuously try to optimize overline utilization there.

是的，格雷格，我的意思是，我們在第一季在計算市場上有一些波動。不利的一面是，我們更傳統的運算業務仍然進展緩慢。我認為傳統伺服器仍然很慢。我們看到記憶體業務有一些上升空間，儘管幅度相對較小。我們看到個人電腦和筆記型電腦具有良好的成長潛力，我們在基於 ARM 的個人電腦市場推出了一些新產品。而且由於個人電腦市場正在逐步改善，這為我們帶來了一些好處。我想說的另一個是在資料中心，您已經提到了 2.5D 的情況比我們預期的要好一些，儘管更大的容量增加將在第二季度投入使用，但我們會不斷嘗試優化那裡的線路利用率。

If I could just ask a clarification on that, that might tilt a little bit more toward Megan. Megan, I know when we've talked in the past, new programs can often ramp at a lower than corporate gross margin. I know you've had 2.5D capability for some time, but I think this is a new program. So anything we should have in mind as we think about the back half of the year as this program becomes bigger?

如果我可以就此作出澄清，那麼我的觀點可能會更傾向於梅根。梅根，我知道我們過去談話時說過，新項目的毛利率通常會低於企業毛利率。我知道您已經擁有 2.5D 功能一段時間了，但我認為這是一個新程式。那麼，隨著這個計畫變得越來越大，我們在考慮下半年的情況時應該考慮什麼呢？

So with respect to the profitability associated with this since we are expanding the existing scale and these products have already been in production, I wouldn't anticipate any significant movements. We do -- obviously, this is a very technical high-value product. Its profitability is greater than our corporate average, but we would continue to see that play out in the second half.

因此，就與此相關的獲利能力而言，由於我們正在擴大現有規模，而這些產品已經投入生產，我預計不會有任何重大變動。我們確實如此——顯然，這是一款技術性極強的高價值產品。它的獲利能力高於我們公司的平均水平，但我們會繼續看到這種趨勢在下半年繼續蔓延。

Our next question comes from Charles Shi with Needham & Company.

我們的下一個問題來自 Needham & Company 的 Charles Shi。

Megan, allow me to ask the technology question on 2.5D. I think the leading foundry is probably moving from standard silicon in the posted base 2.5D more towards organic interposer base, the 2.5D, and probably a little bit in the distant future that the embedded type of the 2.5D. So one thing you can address is what capability you have in-house right now. And how long do you expect you can maintain the status of being in offset that has the full pump capability with respect to the standard in the poster base, organic interposer base, and maybe embedded application in the future? Could you help us understand a little bit better about the capability?

梅根，請容許我問一個關於 2.5D 的技術問題。我認為領先的代工廠可能正從貼合式基底 2.5D 標準矽片轉向有機中介層基底 2.5D，並且可能在遙遠的未來轉向嵌入式 2.5D。因此，您可以解決的一件事是您目前內部擁有什麼能力。您預計您能在多長時間內保持這種具有完全泵送能力的偏移狀態，以滿足海報基座、有機插入器基座以及未來的嵌入式應用的標準？您能幫助我們更了解該功能嗎？

Yes, I got your question, Charles. Let me repeat that. Your question was indeed along the technologies line on the next-generation technology after 2.5D interposer how we see that and how we are positioned with that. Now when it comes to 2.5D with interposers, we see that running currently, but we also expect that we'll continue to run for, let's say, the next 1 to 2 years. But we see an active transition from silicon interposer into RDL structures with 2.5D. We launched those technologies with 3 new customers and one existing customer, we expect that to be qualified and introduced early 2025. For, let's say, the time being, we expect that to run in parallel to the interposer technologies. And then on top of that, we see as a variation to that the bridge technology, which basically uses a silicon bridge together with RDL as a next-generation connectivity structure between 2 dies. And I think there, we have the capability in-house also. So is that answering your question, Charles?

是的，我明白你的問題了，查爾斯。讓我重複一遍。您的問題確實是關於 2.5D 中介層之後的下一代技術，我們如何看待它以及我們對此的定位。現在，當談到具有中介層的 2.5D 時，我們看到它目前正在運行，但我們也預計它將繼續運行，比如說，未來 1 到 2 年。但是我們看到了從矽中介層到 2.5D RDL 結構的正向轉變。我們與 3 個新客戶和 1 個現有客戶一起推出了這些技術，我們預計這些技術將在 2025 年初獲得認證並推出。在此基礎上，我們將其視為橋接技術的變體，該技術基本上使用矽橋和 RDL 作為兩個晶片之間的下一代連接結構。我認為我們內部也具備這樣的能力。那麼這就回答了你的問題了嗎，查爾斯？

Yes. Maybe as a follow-up, your OSAT competitor probably lie on the earnings call was in a little bit ambiguous about what role they play under their partnership with its foundry with respect to what part of the 2.5D packaging they do versus what they don't. Can you kind of clarify a little bit between you and your peers? What are the things you are more uniquely positioned than you are capable to do 2.5D, what you are already doing? And maybe your competitors are still having?

是的。也許作為後續問題，您的 OSAT 競爭對手可能在收益電話會議上對他們在與代工廠的合作中扮演的角色有點模糊，即他們負責 2.5D 封裝的哪些部分，不負責哪些部分。您能否稍微澄清一下您和同事之間的關係？除了能夠做 2.5D 之外，您還具備哪些獨特的優勢？也許您的競爭對手仍在這麼做？

Charles, I mean, generally, we don't comment to the capabilities or business of our competitors. But let me give you a few highlights here. Amkor started with a lead customer on a full flow. That means on wafer as well as on substrate for 2.5D multiple years ago, we currently are in the third generation, and we are currently performing at yield levels because that's an important performance indicator that is, I would say, industry standards. That doesn't hold for our competitors. We still believe that we are the only OSAT that is doing this at scale, and we're ramping up. The industry still has a shortage in capacity when it comes to high-end computing devices, and we expect that to continue.

查爾斯，我的意思是，一般來說，我們不會評論競爭對手的能力或業務。但讓我在這裡給你幾個重點。 Amkor 從領先客戶開始全面實施流程。這意味著，在晶圓以及基板上，幾年前我們就已經在採用 2.5D 技術，而現在我們已進入第三代技術，並且我們目前的產量水平也達到了要求，因為這是一個重要的性能指標，也就是行業標準。但對我們的競爭對手來說，情況並非如此。我們仍然相信，我們是唯一一家大規模開展此項業務的 OSAT，而且我們正在加強。在高端計算設備方面，該行業仍然存在產能短缺的問題，我們預計這種情況還將持續下去。

So definitely, there are alternatives being explored to rapidly expand capacity to accelerate there. And I cannot comment to all the details there. But as we mentioned, compared to last year, we're tripling our capacity coming on stream by the end of the second quarter, that results in tripling of our revenue for 2.5D, and we are launching our, let's say, fan-out technology or RDL technologies in high-volume production by early 2025. So I would see still in that whole environment of growing markets, we are well positioned, but we don't exclude that the supply chain will diversify when the volumes really go up.

因此，可以肯定的是，我們正在探索其他替代方案，以迅速擴大那裡的加速能力。我無法對所有細節發表評論。但正如我們所提到的，與去年相比，到第二季度末，我們的產能將增加三倍，從而使我們的 2.5D 收入增加三倍，而且我們將在 2025 年初推出扇出型技術或 RDL 技術的大批量生產。

And our next question comes from Randy Abrams with UBS.

下一個問題來自瑞銀的蘭迪艾布拉姆斯 (Randy Abrams)。

The first question, actually, Giel, just to follow up on the last one on the advanced packaging. Just factoring you do see RDL interposer and also we're seeing good strength or interest for the NVIDIA new parts. Do you have any further plans to expand? Just after the tripling, are you already starting to prepare orders for further capacity if you have anything to share on that?

實際上，Giel，第一個問題只是為了跟進關於先進封裝的最後一個問題。僅考慮到您確實看到了 RDL 中介層，我們也看到了 NVIDIA 新零件的良好實力或興趣。您還有進一步擴展的計劃嗎？在產量增加三倍之後，您是否已經開始準備進一步增加產能的訂單了，有什麼可以分享的嗎？

Yes, Randy. We also commented in the last earnings call that we will continue to ramp our capacity beyond the tripling. But we wanted to avoid this becomes, let's say, a recurring team where we report out on the capacity, but definitely, in the second half of the year, we will continue to ramp our capacity. A lot of the equipment that we bring in is fungible between our, let's say, RDL interposer versus our silicon interposer as well as our advanced pumping technologies. The factory where we ramp up and will continue to ramp up is in Korea, where we have, let's say, significant plans in place to ramp this capacity.

是的，蘭迪。我們也在上次收益電話會議上表示，我們將繼續將產能提高兩倍以上。但是，我們希望避免這種情況，比如說，變成一個定期報告產能的團隊，但毫無疑問，在下半年，我們將繼續提高產能。我們引進的許多設備都是可互換的，例如 RDL 中介層與矽中介層以及我們先進的泵送技術。我們正在擴大產能並將繼續擴大產能的工廠位於韓國，我們已製定了擴大產能的重要計劃。

And to follow up, when you do the RDL interposer, since I would assume the silicon interposer is built up to foundry, is there -- how is the step up in dollar opportunity per solution or on that kind of scale versus what you're doing now? Do you expect you'll get a meaningful amount of the processing of the actual RDL interposer? And just curious how that scales your business versus the value you can do now.

接下來的問題是，當您進行 RDL 中介層時，由於我假設矽中介層是在代工廠建造的，那麼與您現在所做的相比，每個解決方案的美元機會或這種規模的增長如何？您是否期望獲得對實際 RDL 中介層進行大量處理的能力？我只是好奇這如何擴大您的業務規模以及您現在所能實現的價值。

Yes, I don't want to quote specific numbers here. So the answer is yes. I think if you look to the value that we bring on the RDL interposer, then it's significantly more than on the silicon interposer where the silicon interposer is being procured or supplied by a foundry and the value is generated by the foundries on the RDL interposers. The value is created in this case by ourselves. And that will give us an upside per unit.

是的，我不想在這裡引用具體的數字。所以答案是肯定的。我認為，如果您看看我們在 RDL 中介層上帶來的價值，那麼它的價值遠遠高於矽中介層，因為矽中介層是由代工廠採購或供應的，而價值是由代工廠在 RDL 中介層上創造的。在這種情況下，價值是由我們自己創造的。這將為我們帶來單位利潤。

And to ask maybe a follow-up since you called out the addition of the AI compute. Do you see much change, whether it's in test time or packaging type of value for -- as we start to put like the AI engine added to the mobile device or even in the compute device?

既然您提到了增加 AI 計算，那麼也許可以進行後續詢問。當我們開始將人工智慧引擎添加到行動裝置甚至計算設備中時，您是否看到了很大的變化，無論是在測試時間還是封裝類型的價值方面？

Yes, that's a good question, Randy. We see a transition, the next-generation mobile devices, including with integrated AI capabilities that we gradually move to another test platform, and that means that also for 2024, we actually increased our investment in test and test equipment not only for this one but in general, with 50% or not we're doubling it actually versus 2023. So a significant increase. And one of the reasons, not the only reason, but one of the reasons is that the complexity of testing these devices with an AI co-processor is getting more complex.

是的，這是個好問題，蘭迪。我們看到了下一代行動裝置的轉變，包括整合的 AI 功能，我們將逐步轉向另一個測試平台，這意味著到 2024 年，我們實際上增加了對測試和測試設備的投資，不僅針對這一領域，而且總體而言，與 2023 年相比，我們的投資實際上增加了一倍，無論是 50% 還是 50%。其中一個原因，雖然不是唯一的原因，但其中一個原因是使用 AI 協處理器測試這些裝置的複雜性變得越來越複雜。

And our next question comes from Tom Diffely with D.A. Davidson.

下一個問題來自 D.A. 的 Tom Diffely。戴維森。

I guess first, another margin question for Megan. When you look at the ramp in Vietnam over the next several quarters, and I know that some costs are already in the system, but how do you expect that to impact depreciation or the gross margin?

我想首先要問的是梅根的另一個邊際問題。當您看到未來幾季越南的銷售成長時，我知道一些成本已經存在於系統中，但您預計這會對折舊或毛利率產生什麼影響？

Tom, yes, so we have started to incur our cost to bring that factory online with respect to labor and other costs. And so that is part of the OpEx uptick that we had in Q1 as well as moving into Q2. As we think about that moving to a high volume ramp at the second half of the year, when that moves into production and those costs move into the cost of goods sold, that is a fairly minor part of our total picture. So we're not anticipating a significant impact. However, as you do ramp up programs and that utilization is small, there will be some impact.

湯姆，是的，所以我們已經開始承擔使該工廠上線的勞動力和其他成本。這是我們在第一季和第二季營運支出上升的一部分。當我們考慮在今年下半年實現高產量成長、投入生產並且這些成本轉入銷售成本時，這只是我們整體情況中相當小的一部分。因此我們預計不會產生重大影響。然而，當你確實加大專案投入並且利用率很低時，就會產生一些影響。

And as a follow-up, Giel, I was wondering if you can give us an update on the Arizona facility as far as timing or potential subsidies go. The new one that you haven't built Carter.

作為後續問題，吉爾，我想知道您是否可以向我們介紹亞利桑那州工廠的最新情況，包括時間表或潛在的補貼。卡特，你還沒有建造新的。

Yes, Tom, thanks. I think the question was clear. I mean, we're making significant progress there. We have a team in place. We're working with a design company to design the facility. We're identifying contractors to start the building and we work with customers as well as with other partners in the supply chain to plan our capacity, our technologies, our technology roadmap to detail out the timing. So there is a significant effort ongoing to prepare for building the factory. The timeline is still in place. We try to tune the timeline as good as possible to the availability of silicon capacity in the U.S. And yes, that's the only confirmation that I can get. I think we settled a lot of the details when it comes to the location also.

是的，湯姆，謝謝。我認為這個問題很清楚。我的意思是，我們在那裡取得了重大進展。我們已有一個團隊。我們正在與一家設計公司合作設計該設施。我們正在確定承包商來開始建設，並與客戶以及供應鏈中的其他合作夥伴合作，規劃我們的產能、技術、技術路線圖，詳細說明時間表。因此，我們正在為建設工廠付出巨大的努力。時間線仍然有效。我們嘗試將時間表盡可能地調整到與美國矽產能可用性相適應的水平。我認為我們在地點方面也解決了很多細節問題。

Okay. But it doesn't require CHIP X funding, irrespective of that, you'll continue on with it?

好的。但它不需要 CHIP X 資金，不管怎樣，你會繼續做下去嗎？

Well, the CHIP X funding is a very fundamental part of starting the facility in the U.S. I mean starting greenfield operations in the U.S. requires significant start-up costs on top of the higher running cost, and there, we will require chip funding in order to build a sustainable business case for this facility in the U.S. But I cannot comment to all the details there, but we feel very confident that we are aligned with, let's say, the market strategy for manufacturing and reshoring manufacturing back to the U.S. and the support of the CHIPS office there. So we are fairly confident that we're on the right track there.

嗯，CHIP X 資金是啟動美國工廠的一個非常基礎的部分。因此我們非常有信心我們走在正確的道路上。

(Operator Instructions) Our next question comes from Joe Moore with Morgan Stanley.

（操作員指示）我們的下一個問題來自摩根士丹利的喬·摩爾。

I just wondered, you've been generating quite a bit of cash on the balance sheet. Any plans there? Any kind of uses of cash that you can talk about?

我只是想知道，你在資產負債表上產生了相當多的現金。有什麼計劃嗎？能談談現金有哪些用途嗎？

So as far as it relates to our liquidity, looking at our current capital allocation priorities, I would say really the -- and reinvesting in the business is our #1 priority. And as we've been sharing our expansion of our footprint, we're all well aware of the opening of our Vietnam facility. We're also expanding our Europe facility. We're building a new building there. And then, of course, the upcoming U.S. facility will require cash for that as well. So that I would say is our #1 priority followed by ensuring that we're staying up on the most advanced technology and investing in R&D.

因此，就我們的流動性而言，看看我們目前的資本配置優先事項，我會說——對業務進行再投資是我們的首要任務。當我們分享我們的足跡擴展時，我們都非常清楚越南工廠的開幕。我們還在擴建我們的歐洲工廠。我們正在那裡建造一座新建築。當然，即將在美國開設的工廠也需要現金。所以我想說這是我們的首要任務，其次是確保我們掌握最先進的技術並投資研發。

Also with our commitment of returning 40% to 50% of our free cash flow to shareholders, that would be then another commitment that we have with respect to our cash.

此外，我們也承諾將 40% 至 50% 的自由現金流返還給股東，這也是我們對現金的另一項承諾。

Our next question comes from Steve Barger with KeyBanc Capital Markets.

下一個問題來自 KeyBanc Capital Markets 的 Steve Barger。

Domestic chip makers in China have been really active in buying wafer fabrication equipment over the past several quarters. And I think a lot of that's for memory. So first, how long do you think it will take for that incremental capacity in China to come online? And second, can you talk about the potential for share gains with those mature node chip makers as you manage your own capacity across regions in Asia?

過去幾個季度，中國本土晶片製造商在購買晶圓製造設備方面非常活躍。我認為這很大程度上是為了記憶。那麼首先，您認為中國新增產能需要多長時間才能投入使用？其次，您能否談談在管理亞洲各地區自身產能時，與那些成熟節點晶片製造商一起獲得份額增長的潛力？

Yes, Steve. That's a good question. There is indeed a significant capacity expansion ongoing in China, mostly for the more mature silicon nodes and I would say the previous generation of memory I include that in that assessment. Now with respect to our sell-off and the markets that we're serving, we are very much focusing our business on advanced packaging and advanced packaging uses silicon of the latest silicon nodes, I would say, 7 meters and below, and that is still very much restricted when it comes to expansion in China. The expansion, as we understand it, and I don't have full detail available is very much on the mature nodes in China. Mature nodes would require more mature assembly and test packaging. And I believe it's very much focused to a local-for-local market currently. More, I cannot say on that topic, Steve.

是的，史蒂夫。這是個好問題。中國確實正在進行大規模的產能擴張，主要針對更成熟的矽節點，我想說上一代記憶體也包括在這項評估中。現在就我們的出售和我們所服務的市場而言，我們的業務重點非常集中在先進封裝上，先進封裝使用最新矽節點的矽，我想說的是7米及以下，而這在中國的擴張方面仍然受到很大限制。據我們了解，此次擴張主要是在中國的成熟節點上進行，但我還沒有提供完整的細節。成熟的節點需要更成熟的組裝和測試封裝。我相信，它目前主要專注於本地市場。史蒂夫，關於這個主題我無法透露更多。

And you talked about expanded engagements with industry leaders in auto industrial for Europe and Japan. Are those new relationships or existing that you're just trying to get deeper with those potential customers? And is there any way to think about timing for conversion of engagement to orders?

您談到了與歐洲和日本汽車行業領導者擴大合作。這些是新的關係還是現有的關係，您只是想與這些潛在客戶建立更深入的關係？有沒有什麼方法可以考慮將參與度轉化為訂單的時間？

Yes. Good question, Steve. I mean most of the customers that we refer to for expanding our, let's say, partnership with our existing customers where we change our engagement model from more, I would say, more a tactical model to more a longer-term partnership model, and that holds definitely in the European supply chain. I can say without calling out names here that we're engaged with all the semiconductor leaders in the, let's say, IDM space in Europe for supporting them in our manufacturing facility in Portugal.

是的。好問題，史蒂夫。我的意思是，我們所提到的大多數客戶都希望擴大我們與現有客戶的合作夥伴關係，我們將我們的合作模式從更多的戰術模式轉變為更長期的合作模式，這在歐洲供應鏈中肯定是適用的。我可以不點名地說，我們與歐洲 IDM 領域的所有半導體領導者都有合作，並在葡萄牙的製造工廠為他們提供支援。

We have a broad range of technology there, let's say, from FlipsiBGA for ADAS devices to sensors to, let's say, extended wafer bump and wafer probe technologies we teamed up and that was, let's say, an announcement that we've made in last quarter with Global Foundries. That supports the same supply chain in Europe out of their Drayson factories to offer a seamless manufacturing footprint in Europe. So all in all, I think existing engagement, but we're expanding them with different business models, and that also relates to, for example, models like co-investments, dedicated capacities, and broadening the portfolio from what we had in Portugal to also, for example, in the latest announcement, power modules for the EV market.

我們擁有廣泛的技術，從用於 ADAS 設備的 FlipsiBGA 到感測器，再到我們合作的擴展晶圓凸點和晶圓探針技術，這是我們上個季度與 Global Foundries 共同宣布的。這支持了 Drayson 工廠在歐洲的相同供應鏈，從而在歐洲提供無縫的製造足跡。總而言之，我認為現有的參與度很高，但我們正在透過不同的商業模式來擴展它們，這也涉及例如共同投資、專用產能等模式，以及將投資組合從我們在葡萄牙的投資組合擴大到例如最新公告中的電動車市場的電源模組。

And so do you view this as an ongoing process in which there may be some near-term wins, but you're also setting seeds for wins and multiple years out?

那麼，您是否認為這是一個持續的過程，其中可能會有一些短期的勝利，但您也為未來的勝利奠定了基礎？

Yes. Exactly, Steve. I think for some of these engagements, basically, let's say, can materialize and will materialize in revenue this year. Others will ramp up in the course of the next couple of years. For example, in the latest announcement that would require or that's requiring the build-out of a separate manufacturing module that will go on stream in 2025. But before that has material revenue contribution, that may go towards the end of '25 into 2026. So there are several engagements with different dynamics, but we expect the upside starting this year.

是的。確實如此，史蒂夫。我認為對於其中一些業務來說，基本上可以說可以實現並將在今年實現收入。其他國家也將在未來幾年加大力度。例如，在最新的公告中，這將要求或正在要求建造一個單獨的製造模組，該模組將於 2025 年投入使用。 但在此之前，它會產生實質性的收入貢獻，可能會持續到 2025 年底到 2026 年。

Thank you. And at this time, I'm showing no further questions. I would like to turn the call back over to Giel for closing remarks.

謝謝。此刻，我沒有其他問題。我想將電話轉回給吉爾，請他作最後發言。

Thank you. Let me recap the key messages. Amkor delivered first-quarter results in line with expectations with revenue of $1.37 billion and EPS of $0.24. After a multi-quarter industry cycle, we believe the first quarter marked the low point for revenue and utilization for Amkor. We expect second-quarter revenue of $1.45 billion, which represents sequential growth of 6% and flat revenue year-on-year.

謝謝。讓我回顧一下關鍵訊息。 Amkor 第一季業績符合預期，營收為 13.7 億美元，每股收益為 0.24 美元。在經歷了多個季度的行業週期後，我們認為第一季是 Amkor 收入和利用率的最低點。我們預計第二季營收為 14.5 億美元，季增 6%，與去年同期持平。

Overall, our expectations for full-year 2024 have not changed. We foresee a muted first half followed by strong growth in the second half. Amkor has continued to elevate its leadership position by executing on its 3 strategic pillars: advancing our technology leadership, expanding our broad geographic footprint, and strengthening engagements with lead customers in the growth markets. Thank you for joining the call today.

整體而言，我們對 2024 年全年的預期並沒有改變。我們預計上半年將會表現平淡，下半年將會強勁成長。 Amkor 透過執行三大策略支柱不斷提升其領導地位：提升我們的技術領導地位、擴大我們廣泛的地理覆蓋範圍以及加強與成長市場的主要客戶的合作。感謝您今天的電話會議。

Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's conference call. You may now disconnect.

女士們、先生們，今天的電話會議到此結束。您現在可以斷開連線。
