  • Net non-operating income in Q2 2026 was TWD79 million compared to net non-operating expense in Q2 2025 was TWD682 million. The difference is mainly due to the decrease of foreign exchange loss of TWD685 million, and the positive impact on valuation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of TWD80 million from the loss on valuation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of TWD2 million in Q2 2025 to gain on valuation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of TWD78 million in Q2 2026.

    2026年第二季淨營業外收入為新台幣79百萬元;相較之下,2025年第二季淨營業外費用為新台幣682百萬元。差異主要來自外匯損失減少新台幣685百萬元,以及透過損益按公允價值衡量之金融資產評價的正面影響新台幣80百萬元;該項目由2025年第二季評價損失新台幣2百萬元,轉為2026年第二季評價利益新台幣78百萬元。

  • Net free cash inflow for the first half of 2026 was TWD736 million compared to TWD1,667 million for the same period in 2025. The difference is mainly due to the TWD1,757 million increase of CapEx, and the change in income tax from a benefit of TWD106 million in the first half of 2025 to an expense of TWD229 million in the first half of 2026.

    2026年上半年自由現金流入淨額為新台幣736百萬元,較2025年同期的新台幣1,667百萬元減少。差異主要來自資本支出增加新台幣1,757百萬元,以及所得稅由2025年上半年的所得稅利益新台幣106百萬元,轉為2026年上半年的所得稅費用新台幣229百萬元。

    Shih-Jye Cheng - Chairman of the Board, General Manager

  • Thank you, Silvia. Looking ahead, the industry remains in a period of record growth. Our performance in the second half of 2026 is expected to remain strong, led by increased customer visibility, stable pricing, and a favorable mix, with DRAM leading and DDIC rush orders.

    謝謝你,Silvia。展望未來,產業仍處於創紀錄成長的階段。我們預期 2026 年下半年表現將維持強勁,主要受惠於客戶能見度提升、價格穩定以及有利的產品組合,其中以 DRAM 領軍,並有 DDIC 急單挹注。

  • Adding to our confidence, solid memory products momentum growth driven by customers restocking is expected to help improve related UT levels of assembly and test.

    此外,客戶回補庫存所帶動的記憶體產品動能成長可望延續,並有助於提升相關封裝與測試的 UT 水準。

  • The momentum for memory is expected to be better than DDIC products. DRAM products will see more significant growth in the third quarter, driven by strong demand for DDR4 and the ramp up of DDR5 products.

    記憶體的動能預期將優於 DDIC 產品。DRAM 產品在第三季將出現更顯著的成長,主要由 DDR4 的強勁需求以及 DDR5 產品的放量所帶動。

  • While flash products are affected by some customers' inventory adjustments, their momentum remains steady for the seasonal stocking, though slightly trailing DRAM.

    雖然快閃記憶體產品受到部分客戶庫存調整影響,但在季節性備貨帶動下,其動能仍維持穩健,僅略落後於 DRAM。

  • In our DDIC product business, the momentum is expected to further improve in the second half, thanks to seasonal demand for OLED products, automotive panels, and rush orders.

    在我們的 DDIC 產品業務方面,受惠於 OLED 產品、車用面板的季節性需求以及急單挹注,下半年動能預期將進一步改善。

  • In logic and mixed signal products, we plan to extend our product portfolio from TV SoC chips into mobile and AI ASIC-related fields to increase our future business growth momentum.

    在邏輯與混合訊號產品方面,我們計畫將產品組合從 TV SoC 晶片延伸至手機與 AI ASIC 相關領域,以提升未來業務成長動能。

  • Several mobile-related projects are ongoing, with new high-end testing equipment arriving at the end of this year for production. We will expand capacity based on further customer demand and aim to broaden our scope to AI ASIC products to enhance our long-term growth and profitability for the mixed signal line.

    目前已有多個手機相關專案進行中,新的高階測試設備將於今年底到位以投入量產。我們將依據客戶進一步需求擴充產能,並以拓展至 AI ASIC 產品為目標,以強化混合訊號產線的長期成長與獲利能力。

  • To expand our business scope and enhance our growth momentum, we are also integrating and leveraging our wafer bumping, including copper pillar and gold bumping, capacity with assembly technologies. This gives us a strong position as we focus on opportunities in the silicon photonics supply chain as a new long-term business growth driver.

    為擴大業務範疇並提升成長動能,我們也正整合並運用晶圓凸塊(wafer bumping)產能(包含銅柱與金凸塊)與封裝技術。這使我們在聚焦矽光子供應鏈機會時具備有利位置,並將其作為新的長期業務成長驅動力。

  • The Board approved our increased 2026 CapEx plan today. This includes additional capacity expansion for memory assembly and testing bottleneck stations, continued investments in automation and AI across our operations. This also includes strategic investment to expand testing capacity for developing promising longer-term opportunities in silicon photonics and AI-related ASICs. As always, we are prudent with our CapEx and prioritize investing in high return customer growth opportunities.

    董事會今日核准我們提高 2026 年資本支出(CapEx)計畫。其中包含針對記憶體封裝與測試瓶頸站點的額外產能擴充,以及持續在營運各環節投入自動化與 AI。亦包含策略性投資,以擴充測試產能,布局矽光子與 AI 相關 ASIC 等具潛力的長期機會。一如既往,我們對資本支出保持審慎,並優先投資於高報酬的客戶成長機會。

  • Regarding the related capital for the expanded investment, we are monetizing the low-end and lower UT level DDIC assets and applying for the government's Invest Taiwan project for the investment budget subsidy to reduce the cost of capital and support upcoming new product projects.

    就擴大投資所需的相關資金而言,我們正將低階且 UT 水準較低的 DDIC 資產進行變現,並申請政府的投資台灣專案投資預算補助,以降低資金成本並支援即將到來的新產品專案。

  • To meet memory customers' capacity needs starting in 2027 and mixed signal customers' strategic capacity investment and expansion for new product projects, we also recently acquired a new facility in the Tainan Science Park area. We are not only building up memory testing capacity to establish turnkey assembly and testing capabilities in our recently acquired new facility at Tainan site, but also consolidating the clean room space and optimizing logistics efficiency to meet future business growth demand for the next three to five years.

    為滿足 2027 年起記憶體客戶的產能需求,以及混合訊號客戶針對新產品專案的策略性產能投資與擴充,我們近期也在台南科學園區取得一座新廠房。我們不僅將在台南新取得的廠區建置記憶體測試產能,以建立一站式(turnkey)的封裝與測試能力,同時也將整合無塵室空間並優化物流效率,以因應未來三到五年的業務成長需求。

  • Furthermore, we continue to optimize our product mix, control operating costs, and improve product quality to enhance profitability and maintain our competitive advantage and growth momentum.

    此外,我們持續優化產品組合、控管營運成本並提升產品品質,以強化獲利能力,並維持我們的競爭優勢與成長動能。

  • Thank you for taking my questions. Chairman and President, congratulations on the strong profit performance this quarter, I would first like to ask about the CapEx. You mentioned that the Board of Directors approved an upward adjustment today. How should we estimate the magnitude of this adjustment or the total annual amount?

    謝謝讓我提問。董事長與總經理,恭喜本季獲利表現強勁。我想先請教資本支出。您提到董事會今天核准上調。我們應該如何估算這次調整的幅度或全年總額?

  • Also, you mentioned introducing logic testing for mobile phones or AI ASIC, what percentage of this year's CapEx will be invested in this segment? Additionally, do you have any preliminary thoughts regarding next year's CapEx?

    另外,您提到導入手機或 AI ASIC 的邏輯測試,今年資本支出中有多少比例會投入在這一塊?此外,對於明年的資本支出,您是否有任何初步想法?

  • Regarding this year's CapEx, as I mentioned, the Board adjusted it upward today. While we usually aim to control CapEx relative to annual revenue at about 20%, it will be higher this year, likely exceeding 25% of our revenue. As for the proportion for logic and mixed signal products, it will account for approximately 7% to 10% of our total CapEx for the full year 2026.

    關於今年的資本支出,如我所提,董事會今天已上調。雖然我們通常希望將資本支出相對於年營收控制在約 20%,但今年會更高,可能會超過營收的 25%。至於邏輯與混合訊號產品的占比,2026 全年約占我們總資本支出的 7% 到 10%。

  • I see. Do you have any preliminary thoughts on next year's CapEx?

    了解。那對於明年的資本支出,您有任何初步想法嗎?

  • Next year's CapEx should also remain relatively high because we are investing to support growth.

    明年的資本支出也應會維持相對較高,因為我們正在投資以支援成長。

  • Therefore, it will likely exceed 25% of revenue again. While we hope to control it below 20% in the long term, for both this year and next, it will likely be above 25%.

    因此,可能也會再次超過營收的 25%。雖然長期而言我們希望控制在 20% 以下,但今年與明年大概率都會高於 25%。

  • You mentioned that logic and mixed signal account for about 7% to 10% of CapEx this year. I wonder if that proportion will increase next year as 7% to 10% feels like it only covers a few testing machines. If you are entering this market, the proportion for logic should see a more significant increase next year.

    您提到今年邏輯與混合訊號約占資本支出 7% 到 10%。我想了解明年這個比例是否會提高,因為 7% 到 10% 感覺只夠買幾台測試機。如果要切入這個市場,明年邏輯相關的占比應該會更明顯增加。

  • The proportion for next year should indeed be higher than this year's, though we still need to organize the specific waiting for the memory segment. Overall, however, the proportion will be higher.

    明年的占比確實應該會高於今年,不過我們仍需要就記憶體區塊的部分進一步整理與安排。但整體而言,占比會更高。

  • One more question for the Chairman. You mentioned price adjustments for memory and driver IC packaging/testing in the second quarter. Is there room for further upward adjustments for these two product lines in the second half of the year?

    我還有一個問題想請教董事長。您提到第二季記憶體與驅動 IC 封裝/測試有做價格調整。下半年這兩條產品線是否還有進一步上調的空間?

  • As everyone knows, material costs including substrates, lead frames, and gold are rising, especially for gold. We will pass these price increases on to our customers.

    如各位所知,包含基板、導線架與黃金在內的材料成本正在上升,尤其是黃金。我們會將這些漲價轉嫁給客戶。

  • Secondly, for high-end probe cards in the Driver IC segment, the price increases have been quite substantial. We have reached agreements with customers to pass these costs through to maintain our competitive advantage.

    第二,在驅動 IC 這一塊,高階探針卡的漲幅相當可觀。我們已與客戶達成協議,將這些成本轉嫁,以維持我們的競爭優勢。
