Amkor Technology Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter 2012
Second Quarter 2012
• | Net sales $687 million |
• | Gross margin 13% |
• | Net income $1 million |
• | Earnings per diluted share $0.00 |
Second Quarter 2012 Excluding $34 Million Charge for Loss Contingency Accrual
• | Adjusted gross margin 17% |
• | Adjusted net income $33 million |
• | Adjusted earnings per diluted share $0.15 |
CHANDLER, Ariz. - July 26, 2012 - Amkor Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMKR), a leading provider of semiconductor packaging and test services, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012, with net sales of $687 million, net income of $1 million, and earnings per diluted share of $0.00.
Second quarter results included a charge of $34 million ($32 million, net of tax), or $0.13 per diluted share (net of tax), relating to an accrual of the low end of Amkor's estimated loss for the previously announced interim order issued by an arbitration panel relating to Amkor's license agreement with Tessera, Inc. Of the total accrual, $30 million was recorded as cost of goods sold and $4 million was recorded as interest expense.
"After adjusting for the loss contingency accrual, second quarter results were consistent with our expectations," said Ken Joyce, Amkor's president and chief executive officer. "Amkor's strong position in communications continues to drive our business with notable strength in smartphones and tablets. We also saw a seasonal increase in gaming, although lower than the levels we have seen in the past few years."
Selected financial information for the second quarter 2012, excluding the loss contingency accrual, is as follows:
• | Net Sales: $687 million, up 5% from $655 million in the prior quarter, and flat with $688 million in the second quarter of 2011 |
• | Adjusted Gross Margin: 17%, compared to 16% in the prior quarter, and 19% in the second quarter of 2011 |
• | Adjusted Net Income: $33 million, up from $12 million in the prior quarter, and up from $14 million in the second quarter of 2011 |
• | Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share: $0.15, up from $0.06 in the prior quarter, and up from $0.07 in the second quarter of 2011 |
The adjusted items presented above are non-GAAP measures. Selected operating data for the second quarter 2012, and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures presented above to the comparable GAAP measures, is included in a section below before the financial statements.
“Capital additions were $149 million during the second quarter, primarily in support of specific business for customers in smartphones and tablets,” said Joanne Solomon, Amkor's executive vice president and chief financial officer. "This was about $50 million below our guidance as we saw some delays in the demand forecasts from several of our major customers that sell into smartphones and tablets."
Amkor's Board of Directors previously authorized $300 million for the repurchase of our common stock. During the second quarter 2012 the company repurchased 7.1 million shares at a purchase price of $33.2 million, for a total of 36.7 million shares at a purchase price of $166.6 million since the program commenced.
Cash and cash equivalents were $351 million, and net debt was $1.0 billion, at June 30, 2012.
Business Outlook
"We expect to see sequential third quarter sales growth of 2% to 9% driven by a seasonal increase in gaming, solid demand for communications, and a continuing recovery in the networking sector,” said Joyce. “Our growth in the third quarter is somewhat slower than anticipated due to worldwide macroeconomic uncertainties, the delay in the ramp of 28 nanometer wafer supply and the softness in end market demand by the less dominant OEMs that sell smartphones and tablets.”
"In light of these developments, we are lowering our full year 2012 capital additions expectations to around $500 million (excluding $100 million for the acquisition of land relating to our previously announced new factory and R&D center in Incheon, South Korea). Our capital additions for the first half of 2012 totaled $273 million, and we are estimating capital additions of around $150 million for the third quarter 2012, although some of that spending could move to the fourth quarter if the ramp of 28 nanometer wafer supply is pushed out," continued Joyce.
Based upon the currently available information, we have the following expectations for the third quarter 2012:
• | Net sales of $700 million to $750 million, up 2% to 9% from the prior quarter |
• | Gross margin of 17% to 19% |
• | Net income of $20 million to $44 million, or $0.10 to $0.20 per diluted share |
• | Capital additions of around $150 million for the third quarter, and around $500 million for the full year (excluding $100 million for the acquisition of land relating to our previously announced new factory and R&D center in Incheon, South Korea) |

• | with respect to the interim order issued by the Tessera arbitration panel, we believe that $34 million is a reasonable estimate of the low end of the possible range of loss up to an amount in excess of $125 million claimed by Tessera, and that no amount in the range constitutes a better estimate than any other amount; however, the final award could |
be more than the amount currently accrued, and we expect to record our estimate of interest accruing with the passage of time and may record additional charges as information develops or upon the issuance of the final award;
• | the highly unpredictable nature of the semiconductor industry; |

*We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. Free cash flow is not defined by U.S. GAAP. We believe free cash flow to be relevant and useful information to our investors because it provides them with additional information in assessing our liquidity, capital resources and financial operating results. Our management uses free cash flow in evaluating our liquidity, our ability to service debt and our ability to fund capital additions. However, free cash flow has certain limitations, including that it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other, non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service, are not deducted from the measure. The amount of mandatory versus discretionary expenditures can vary significantly between periods. This measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures of liquidity or financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, such as net cash provided by operating activities. Furthermore, our definition of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
**Amkor's Board of Directors previously authorized $300 million for the repurchase of our common stock. During the second quarter, we repurchased 7.1 million shares of common stock for a purchase price of $33.2 million. As of June 30, 2012, we had repurchased a total of 36.7 million shares under the stock repurchase program for a purchase price of $166.6 million. From July 1, 2012, through July 25, 2012, we repurchased an additional 5.6 million shares for a purchase price of $27.1 million, for a cumulative total of 42.3 million shares for a purchase price of $193.7 million.
In the press release above we provide adjusted gross margin, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share. We present these non-GAAP amounts to demonstrate the impact of the loss contingency accrual discussed above. However, these measures have limitations, including that they exclude the accrual for the arbitration panel award, which is an amount that the company may ultimately have to pay in cash. Furthermore, the factors affecting the calculation of the arbitration award are complex and subject to determination by the arbitration panel. Therefore, the final amount of the loss may be more than the amount of the current accrual. Accordingly, these measures that exclude the loss contingency accrual should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, gross margin, net income and earnings per diluted share prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Below is the reconciliation of adjusted gross margin, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share to U.S. GAAP gross margin, net income and earnings per diluted share.
