Nanya Technology Corporation
Business Report for 2019
I. Business Performance for 2019
Nanya Technology Corporation's consolidated revenue was NT$51.7 billion, net income was NT$9.8 billion, and earnings per share was NT$3.23 in 2019. Last year, despite many challenges and uncertainties in the industrial environment, we still achieved good profits, generated free cash inflow, and further optimized our 20nm product portfolio. We independently developed 10nm class DRAM memory cell technology, which has enhanced our competitiveness.
The increase in tariffs, supply chain adjustments, and economic slowdown resulting from the US-China trade war last year, as well as Intel's CPU shortage, continued to affect the end application market and lowered the demand for DRAM. Average selling price for the year decreased by over 45% compared with that in the previous year. Bit shipment grew by over 10% compared with that in the previous year. The 2019 revenue of NT$51.7 billion was down 39% compared with that in the previous year.
The 2019 gross profit was NT$16.5 billion and gross margin was 32%. After deducting operating expenses, operating income was NT$9.5 billion. Net cash inflows from operating activities reached NT$17.4 billion, and was mainly due to net income and depreciation. After deducting capital expenditures of NT$5.5 billion, free cash flow reached NT$11.9 billion.
To optimize our 20nm product portfolio, we continued to promote 8GB DDR4 products, which were qualified by server
4
and tier-1 data center customers, and increase our market share in the server market. Furthermore, we released low-power 20nm 4GB/8GB LPDDR3 and 2GB/4GB/8GB LPDDR4/4X products in the second half of last year, and began making shipments after the products were qualified by customers. We will also promote these products in the smartphone, smart wearable device, smart voice, low-power laptop, and high-performance SSD markets.
As for our future strategy on process technology, we carefully evaluated two options at the end of last year, namely, to either obtain technology licensing from Micron Technology or independently develop our proprietary10nm class process technology. Considering economic benefits and long-term technology development which are the foundation of sustainability, we decided to independently develop our process technology and product design as the main theme for future business development.
To strengthen our strategic partnership with Formosa Advanced Technologies Co., Ltd. in product engineering, packaging, and testing, to improve our overall business performance, and to increase our return on cash investments, we acquired another 13% of the company's shares in 2019 with our total shareholding ratio reaching 32%.
We pursue sustainable development and fulfill our corporate social responsibility based on six sustainability themes, namely "integrity and transparency," "innovative technology," "responsible procurement," "cleaner production," "harmonious workplace," and "common good." We were recognized with
5
numerous awards for corporate sustainability in 2019, including once again being selected as a constituent stock of the DJSI Emerging Markets Index and the FTSE4Good TIP Taiwan ESG Index. We were awarded the Top 50 Taiwan Sustainable Corporates, the TCSA (Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards) Corporate Sustainability Report Platinum Award, Climate Leadership Award, People Development Award, and Growth through Innovation Award; the sixth National Industrial Innovation Award by the Ministry of Economic Affairs; ranking in the top 20% of the 5th Corporate Governance Evaluation by the Taiwan Stock Exchange; the Ministry of Labor National Talent Development Awards; the upcoming Large Corporation Award in the Excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility Awards organized by CommonWealth Magazine; and obtained the ISO 27001 information security management system certification.
II. Business Plan for 2020
We independently developed a 10nm class DRAM memory cell, which will be adopted in shrinking our DRAM products for the next 3 generations. We also used our proprietary process and product technology platform to develop the first generation 10nm class DDR4 and DDR5 products. We expect to begin pilot runs in the second half of this year to prepare for mass production next year. The second generation 10nm class process technology is currently in the R&D stage, and the pilot run is expected to be carried out before 2022.
This year we will continue to optimize our 20nm product portfolio to enhance our competitiveness. Besides obtaining
6
more qualifications from tier-1 cloud service providers to increase sales volume, we will also accelerate the promotion of 20nm low-power products and obtain qualifications from important customers to effectively increase product value and sales flexibility.
III. Industry Outlook
DRAM is a key component in all electronic products, and smartphones and servers/data centers are currently the most important market segments. As telecom operators around the world begin to offer 5G services, we expect total smartphone shipments and DRAM demand to simultaneously increase in the future. In terms of servers, mobile computing, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and deployment of 5G base stations will continue to drive growth of cloud servers and edge computing. We expect CPUs to be released by Intel in the second half of this year will increase the demand of servers for DRAM. The growth of smart products and applications will also increase the demand for DRAM.
As for DRAM supply, the three major DRAM suppliers have publicly announced their production capacity and output adjustment plan. The increase in production capacity has been limited due to relatively conservative capital expenditure by DRAM suppliers last year. Growth of supply in 2020 will mainly came from process migration, and the growth is expected to be limited. Furthermore, we currently do not have precise information on DRAM products and the timetable for mass production by Chinese manufacturers. We will continue to observe subsequent developments, as well as the potential effects on overall supply.
7
However, short-term end demand growth has been impacted by COVID-19. Working from home, virtual education, and online shopping have driven increased demand for DRAM in data centers, laptop computers, tablet devices, SSD, and network equipment. At the same time, the demand for smart phones has relatively weakened. The industry's DRAM bit demand is expected to grow slightly in the first half of the year, while that demand in the second half of the year will require further observation of the state of the pandemic in Europe and the US as well as the strength of economic recovery worldwide.
IV. Conclusion
The DRAM industry severely declined in 2019, but Nanya Technology Corporation still remained profitable. Looking into 2020, the Company will stay cautious and simultaneously observe the development of the pandemic, making dynamic response to the demand for DRAM. More importantly, we will invest even more resources in 2020 to accelerate the development of 10nm class process technologies and related products to enhance our competitiveness. Looking into the future, technology innovations will continue to be the main driver of our growth momentum, and will create greater value for all shareholders.
