FORMOSA SUMCO TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION 2016 Business Report
I. 2016 Annual Business Report
The consolidated operating revenue of our company in 2016 was NT$10,794,340,000 (an increase of 3% from NT$10,487,897,000 in 2015), achieving 104% of the target revenue NT$10,396,175,000. The consolidated profit before tax of our company in 2016 was NT$905,327,000 (a decrease of 41% (NT$629,765,000) from NT$1,535,092,000 in 2015), achieving 86% of the target profit NT$1,052,686,000, with a shortfall of NT$147,359,000.
Put in a boarder context, the global semiconductor industry faced a drastic economic downturn since the end of the third quarter in 2015, followed by stagnant end-product sales and customer inventory adjustments in 2016. In response to these new challenges, our company has adopted several countermeasures to ensure sufficient end-product sales. Despite our best efforts, annual 8-inch silicon wafer sales dropped 1% from 2015. Even though annual 12-inch silicon wafer sales rose 2% from 2015, sales price dropped sharply 9.4% from 2015 in condition of market supply and demand imbalance. In summary, despite the fact that the market is so sluggish, our company has implemented several cost-reducing strategies and reduced our raw material costs to lower overall costs significantly and make sure company has sustainable profitable performance.
Although our company continues to face an external environment full of threats and challenges, the company must be constantly vigilant and guard against external threats to ensure a sustainable business operation. By upholding the founding philosophy
5
of diligence and frugality, our company is dedicated to promoting equipment automation, technological advancements, process enhancement, and quality improvement in order to reduce operating costs. As we receive stricter demands from our customers, we will respond by providing them with the best products with a proactive attitude. We hope to become a supplier that our customers can trust and rely on.
With regard to environmental protection, our company has always put equal emphasis on industrial development and environmental protection. Since our establishment, we have made constant improvements to overall pollution control, such as adopting the best manufacturing process technologies, installing the most advanced pollution control systems, and enacting the most demanding pollution control policies. Despite the fact that all our pollutant treatments are well above the national control standards, environmental standards are quickly developing due to the rising environmental awareness these days. In response to higher environmental standards, our company will continue to further improve our manufacturing processes and environmental protection efforts in order to reach our ultimate goal of “zero pollution”.
The silicon wafer production and marketing status of our company in 2016 is summarized below:
1. Silicon Wafer Production and Marketin Status: g
| Product | Production Volume | Sales Volume |
|---|---|---|
| Silicon Wafer (thousand) |
6,850 | 6,992 |
The total sales amount of our company in 2016 was
6
NT$10,794,340,000, with domestic sales accounting for 92% (NT$9,909,528,000) and foreign sales accounting for the remaining 8% (NT$884,812,000) of the entire sales amount.
- Operating Status: The consolidated operating revenue of our company in 2016 was NT$10,794,340,000, which is NT$306,443,000 more than the consolidated operating revenue of our company in 2015, which was NT$10,487,897,000. After deducting the consolidated operating cost of NT$9,429,790,000 and the consolidated management cost of NT$403,428,000 from the consolidated operating revenue, the consolidated operating profit becomes NT$961,122,000. By adding the non-operating revenue of NT$290,434,000 to and deducting the non-operating expenditure of NT$346,229,000 from the consolidated operating profit, the consolidated pretax profit of our company in 2016 becomes NT$905,327,000.
II.2017 Business Plan Overview, Future Corporate Development Strategies, and Impacts Generated from the External Competitive Environment, Legislative Environment, and Overall Business Environment
Because of semiconductor market recovery since the fourth quarter of 2016, the economic prospects for the semiconductor industry are promising for 2017. The growing markets in smartphones, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and automobile electronics have driven a significant increase in demand for products such as DRAM, MPU (micro processor unit), etc. As a result, demand for silicon wafers is bound to become stronger. On the other hand, semiconductor customers strengthen its cost competitiveness by committing to develop new products and
7
shrink semiconductor manufacturing process aggressively. Therefore, the entire silicon wafer industry is expected to meet stricter silicon wafer demands from its customers. In order to provide our customers with the best products, our company will continue to be devoted to putting the following activities into real practice. By implementing these strategies, we hope to secure our share of revenue and profit in the ever-changing semiconductor market. Above all, we look forward to improving our competitiveness, in order to achieve high business performance.
-
Continue to improve the semiconductor manufacturing process and implement TPM (total production maintenance) activities. By jointly carrying out stabilized production, quality control measures, and manufacturing equipment management, production site quality can be further improved so that we can provide our customers with the best products on the premise of “stabilized production” and “best quality”.
-
Faced with stricter customer demands, we must ensure that future technologies are developed while making constant improvements to our production site.
-
Continue to ensure and improve customer satisfaction, reach a larger demographic, increase the frequency of visits, assign technicians to provide additional technical services, and participate in the certification of new products of customers; by doing so, we can expand our sales to secure our leading market position in the domestic semiconductor market. In addition to expanding sales in such foreign countries as mainland China, we must seek new client bases to increase foreign sales.
-
In response to customer demands, we must make improvements with regard to quality, costs, delivery, and service. We must become the best company, one that our customers can trust and rely on.
8
-
Optimize domestic advantages of streamline production, sales, and technical services to improve corporate competitiveness in areas other than price.
-
6.Implement business continuity management (BCM) to prevent the occurrence of potential risks.
-
7.Combine excellent Japanese SUMCO / SUMCO TECHXIV production technologies with the excellent Formosa Plastics Group management system to optimize business performance.
In order to establish the most complete corporate system and raise corporate competitiveness, our 2017 business guidelines are listed below:
-
1.Make qualitative improvements to the 300mm manufacturing process to raise product competitiveness.
-
2.Perform thorough management of the 200mm and 300mm manufacturing process equipment to stabilize production with high availability.
-
3.Rationalize production thoroughly based on TPM (total production management).
-
4.Carry out sales, technical services, and production according to tightly-knit cooperation with our clients.
-
Follow established laws and regulations to secure “zero disasters” and “zero accidents”.
-
Continue to cultivate talents for every position.
