Yes. Thank you, G.S. We appreciate everyone joining our call today. This was another strong quarter for us with record revenue for the fourth consecutive quarter in Q3 2021. We have delivered over 23.4% revenue growth in the first 9 months of 2021 compared to 2020 with strong profitability and cash flow. We remain very close with our customers and are doing a good job supporting their demand and forecasts. Challenges remain across the broader industry, but we are covering everything within our control.
是的。謝謝 G.S。我們感謝大家今天加入我們的電話會議。對於我們來說,這是又一個強勁的季度,2021 年第三季度連續第四個季度的收入創紀錄。與2020 年相比,我們在2021 年前9 個月實現了超過23.4% 的收入增長,盈利能力和現金流強勁。我們與客戶保持密切聯繫,並很好地支持他們的需求和預測。更廣泛的行業仍然面臨挑戰,但我們正在覆蓋我們控制範圍內的一切。
Let me give you some highlights from the quarter. First, we achieved a new quarterly revenue record with a 25.9% increase in Q3 2021 revenue year-over-year. This is up 2.6% over Q2 2021. Gross margin increased 800 basis points for Q3 2021 to 27.3% compared to Q3 2020. Higher costs led to a 90 basis point decline compared to Q2 2021. And we achieved TWD 1.93 in Q3 EPS compared to TWD 1.76 of Q2 2021 with a 117% increase in the first 9 months of 2021, TW $5.01, compared to the same period of 2020, TWD $2.31.
讓我向您介紹本季度的一些亮點。首先,我們創下了新的季度收入記錄,2021 年第三季度收入同比增長 25.9%。比2021 年第二季度增長2.6%。與2020 年第三季度相比,2021 年第三季度毛利率增長800 個基點,達到27.3%。成本上升導致與2021 年第二季度相比下降90 個基點。與2021 年第二季度相比,我們的第三季度每股收益實現了1.93 新台幣2021 年第二季度為1.76 新台幣,2021 年前9 個月為5.01 新台幣,與2020 年同期的2.31新台幣相比增長117%。
I am very pleased that our profitability expansion is higher than our revenue growth. We continue to stress operating efficiency targets and utilization improvement. Our ongoing investments in automation are helping us maintain a safe work environment and let us hold operating expense at 6.5% of Q3 revenue. The overall utilization was 85% in Q3 compared to 87% in Q2 as we continue to benefit from customers' demand even with added capacity in before several quarters. And while we had a slightly lower assembly utilization level, it remains strong at 90% in Q3 2021. Testing also held strong at 85%.
我很高興我們的盈利增長高於收入增長。我們繼續強調運營效率目標和利用率提高。我們對自動化的持續投資正在幫助我們維持安全的工作環境,並使我們將運營費用控制在第三季度收入的 6.5%。第三季度的整體利用率為 85%,而第二季度為 87%,因為即使在前幾個季度增加了產能,我們仍繼續受益於客戶的需求。雖然我們的裝配利用率稍低,但在 2021 年第三季度仍保持在 90% 的強勁水平。測試也保持在 85% 的強勁水平。
Lastly, our high-end DDIC test platform utilization remained high in Q3, and DDIC remained at around 80% despite the nonlinear wafer supply [led].
最後,我們的高端 DDIC 測試平台利用率在第三季度仍然很高,儘管晶圓供應呈非線性,但 DDIC 仍保持在 80% 左右。
Regarding our manufacturing business, assembly represented 30% of Q3 revenue. Testing represented around 22%, and wafer bumping represented about 18.5% of Q3 revenue. On a product segment basis, our DDIC, including COG and COF, was about 29.8% of Q3 revenue with gold bumping representing about 15.7% of Q3 revenue. Revenue from DRAM and SRAM represented about 18.6% of Q3 revenue. Our flash segment and the mixed-signal segment represented about 24.8% of Q3 revenue and 11% of Q3 revenue, respectively.
就我們的製造業務而言,組裝佔第三季度收入的 30%。測試約佔第三季度收入的 22%,晶圓凸點約佔第三季度收入的 18.5%。從產品細分來看,我們的 DDIC(包括 COG 和 COF)約佔第三季度收入的 29.8%,其中金塊約佔第三季度收入的 15.7%。 DRAM 和 SRAM 收入約佔第三季度收入的 18.6%。我們的閃存部門和混合信號部門分別佔第三季度收入的 24.8% 和 11%。
In terms of adding color on our business, our memory product benefited from healthy demand across all end markets with growth in IoT and consumer electronics, including gaming. Revenue was up about 3.5% in Q3 2021 compared to Q2 2021. On a year-over-year basis, revenue was up about 32%. Memory products represented about 43.5% of total Q3 revenue. DRAM revenue increased 5.3% compared to Q2 2021, led by consumer and automotive electronics demand and 22% year-over-year. Total flash revenue benefited from application diversified and customers continuing restocking.
在為我們的業務增添色彩方面,我們的內存產品受益於所有終端市場的健康需求,以及物聯網和消費電子產品(包括遊戲)的增長。與 2021 年第二季度相比,2021 年第三季度的收入增長了約 3.5%。與去年同期相比,收入增長了約 32%。內存產品約佔第三季度總收入的43.5%。在消費和汽車電子需求的帶動下,DRAM 收入較 2021 年第二季度增長 5.3%,同比增長 22%。閃存總收入受益於應用多樣化和客戶持續補貨。
NOR grew 4.3% in Q3 compared to Q2 2021 and grew more than 34% year-over-year. Our NAND flash business increased about 6% compared to Q2 2021 and increased 47% year-over-year. This represented 31% of our total Q3 2021 flash revenue.
與 2021 年第二季度相比,NOR 在第三季度增長了 4.3%,同比增長超過 34%。我們的 NAND 閃存業務較 2021 年第二季度增長約 6%,同比增長 47%。這占我們 2021 年第三季度閃存總收入的 31%。
Moving on to driver IC related product revenue, including gold bumping. I am pleased to report that our test ASP increased driven by customers optimized their product mix. This would have been even higher, but we continue to work through ongoing wafer supply bottlenecks from foundry capacity constraints. Despite the supply limits, our driver IC related product revenue increased about 2.6% compared to Q2 2021 and increased about 15.5% compared to Q3 2020.
繼續驅動IC相關產品收入,包括金凸塊。我很高興地報告,我們的測試平均售價在客戶優化其產品組合的推動下有所增長。這個數字本來會更高,但我們將繼續努力解決因代工產能限製而持續存在的晶圓供應瓶頸。儘管供應有限,我們的驅動IC相關產品收入與2021年第二季度相比增長了約2.6%,與2020年第三季度相比增長了約15.5%。
Driver IC related revenue was about 45.4% of total Q3 revenue. Total DDIC revenue, including COG and COF, was up just over 25.4% year-over-year and increased 3.3% compared to Q2 2021. We are benefiting from higher wafer loading with some key customers. This helped our COF revenue increase 4% compared to Q2 2021 and represented 45% in Q3 DDIC revenue. TDDI revenue represented 24.3% of Q3 DDIC revenue. OLED significantly grew 11.2% compared to Q2 2021 and represented about 4.5% of Q3 DDIC revenue.
驅動IC相關營收約佔第三季度總營收的45.4%。包括 COG 和 COF 在內的 DDIC 總收入同比增長略高於 25.4%,與 2021 年第二季度相比增長 3.3%。我們受益於一些主要客戶的晶圓裝載量增加。與 2021 年第二季度相比,這幫助我們的 COF 收入增長了 4%,佔第三季度 DDIC 收入的 45%。 TDDI 收入佔第三季度 DDIC 收入的 24.3%。與 2021 年第二季度相比,OLED 顯著增長 11.2%,約佔第三季度 DDIC 收入的 4.5%。
On an end-market basis, revenue from automotive and industrial increased to 15% of Q3 revenue. We continue to see long-term growth in both automotive and industrial. Smartphones and TV as an end market accounted about 33.5% and about 16.5% of Q3 2021 revenue, respectively. Computing represented about 11% and consumer represented 24% of Q3 revenue.
從終端市場來看,汽車和工業收入佔第三季度收入的比例增至 15%。我們繼續看到汽車和工業領域的長期增長。智能手機和電視作為終端市場分別佔 2021 年第三季度收入的約 33.5% 和約 16.5%。計算業務約佔第三季度收入的 11%,消費者業務約佔 24%。

Thank you, Sylvia. As we move into the fourth quarter, we expect to see continued customer restocking for consumer electronics launches, workplaces restarting and economies around the world continuing to grow. Capacity is expected to remain tight and OSAT ASPs will likely increase led by product mix optimization. However, this continues to be a challenging period for the industry as we all work together to remove supply chain bottlenecks. We were not directly impacted by recent power shortages in China, but this does not help when wafer supply is already tight. Overall, we are cautious about the fourth quarter and taking a conservative view given broader market challenges and how strong the first 9 months of 2021 have been for us.
謝謝你,西爾維婭。隨著進入第四季度,我們預計客戶將繼續為消費電子產品的發布、工作場所的重新啟動以及世界各地的經濟持續增長而補充庫存。預計產能仍將緊張,並且在產品組合優化的帶動下,OSAT 平均售價可能會增加。然而,對於該行業來說,這仍然是一個充滿挑戰的時期,因為我們所有人都在共同努力消除供應鏈瓶頸。我們沒有受到中國近期電力短缺的直接影響,但在晶圓供應已經緊張的情況下,這無濟於事。總體而言,鑑於更廣泛的市場挑戰以及 2021 年前 9 個月的強勁表現,我們對第四季度持謹慎態度,並採取保守觀點。
For example, in memory, despite demand increasing in consumer and auto electronics, there is a semiconductor supply imbalance that may impact overall Q4 demand in the segment. Therefore, we are taking a conservative view about memory in Q4. And in DDIC, tightened wafer supply is expected to continue in Q4, which will cause DDIC utilization level fluctuations. However, our ASP continues to increase driven by customers optimize their product mix and OLED increase in Q4. So we are somewhat cautiously optimistic about DDIC continuing to grow in Q4.
例如,在內存領域,儘管消費和汽車電子產品的需求不斷增加,但半導體供應不平衡可能會影響該領域第四季度的整體需求。因此,我們對第四季度的內存持保守看法。而在DDIC方面,預計第四季度晶圓供應將持續吃緊,這將導致DDIC利用率水平波動。然而,在客戶優化產品結構和第四季度 OLED 增長的推動下,我們的平均售價繼續增長。因此,我們對 DDIC 第四季度的持續增長持謹慎樂觀態度。

Why did Q3 revenue grow but gross margin declined?
為什麼第三季度營收增長但毛利率下降?
Silvia Su - Chief Corporate Governance Officer, VP of Finance & Accounting Management Center and Director
Silvia Su - Chief Corporate Governance Officer, VP of Finance & Accounting Management Center and Director
In Q3, we had increased depreciation, higher power costs, and we recognized higher bonus costs due to the higher profit in Q3, gold material inventory valuation loss compared to previous quarter.
在第三季度,我們的折舊增加,電力成本上升,並且由於第三季度的利潤較高,與上一季度相比,黃金材料庫存估值損失,我們確認了更高的獎金成本。

As we move into the fourth quarter in memory, despite demand increasing in consumer and auto electronics, there is a semiconductor supply imbalance that may impact overall Q4 demand in the segment. Therefore, we are taking a conservative view about memory in Q4. And in DDIC, our ASP continues to increase driven by customers optimizing their product mix and OLED increasing in Q4.
隨著內存領域進入第四季度,儘管消費和汽車電子產品的需求有所增加,但半導體供應不平衡可能會影響該領域第四季度的整體需求。因此,我們對第四季度的內存持保守看法。在 DDIC 中,由於客戶優化其產品組合以及第四季度 OLED 的增長,我們的平均售價持續增長。
Further, ChipMOS did get some rush orders from customers led by the uncertainty of power shortages in China. So we are somewhat cautiously optimistic about DDIC to be flat in Q4. In all, given the strength in the first 9 months of 2021, we expect revenue could be flat to down in the low single digits. Gross margin would be slightly impacted by revenue declines and higher depreciation in Q4.
此外,由於中國電力短缺的不確定性,茂茂確實收到了一些客戶的緊急訂單。因此,我們對 DDIC 第四季度持平持謹慎樂觀態度。總而言之,鑑於 2021 年前 9 個月的強勁表現,我們預計收入可能持平或下降至低個位數。毛利率將受到第四季度收入下降和折舊上升的輕微影響。

So far, we are not seeing any real wafer supply relief. Under such situation, we did see customers optimizing product mix causing a longer test time. Currently, better UT for high-end testers [led] and worst UT for the others.
到目前為止,我們還沒有看到任何真正的晶圓供應緩解。在這種情況下,我們確實看到客戶優化產品組合導致測試時間更長。目前,高端測試人員的 UT 較好,而其他測試人員的 UT 最差。

We don't expect any major changes to our dividend payout ratio, 50%, 60% of EPS. However, the final dividend will be discussed and proposed by our Board and need to get approval at our normal annual AGM.
我們預計我們的股息支付率(每股收益的 50%、60%)不會發生任何重大變化。然而,末期股息將由董事會討論和提議,並需要在正常的年度股東大會上獲得批准。
