Amkor Technology Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter 2013

Second Quarter 2013

CHANDLER, Ariz. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — July 29, 2013 — 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, 2013, with net sales of $746 million, net income of $30 million, and earnings per diluted share of $0.14.

“Driven by strong results in mobile communications, sales for the quarter increased more than 8% sequentially and year over year with a corresponding improvement in our gross margin,” said Steve Kelley, Amkor's president and chief executive officer. “Since joining Amkor in May, I have been working closely with customers and management to assess our business and operations. We are well positioned with solid investments in the right technologies, customers, and end markets, and I am optimistic about our long-term prospects for sales growth and improved profitability.”

Selected financial information for the second quarter 2013 is as follows:

Second quarter 2013 results include a $12 million ($0.05 per diluted share) charge on the exchange of $194 million principal amount of our Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 for cash and common stock, and a $15 million ($0.06 per diluted share) benefit from two discrete tax items relating to foreign operations.

The adjusted gross margin, adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings per diluted share presented above for the second quarter 2012 exclude a loss contingency of $34 million ($32 million, net of tax) relating to our pending patent license arbitration, and are non-GAAP measures. Selected operating data for the second quarter 2013, and a reconciliation of the second quarter 2012 non-GAAP measures presented above to the comparable GAAP measures, are included in a section below before the financial statements.

“Capital additions were $159 million during the second quarter, primarily in support of customers in mobile communications,” said Joanne Solomon, Amkor's executive vice president and chief financial officer.

“We took advantage of favorable conditions in the capital markets to raise additional funding,” continued Solomon. “The $225 million addition to our Senior Notes due 2022 provides resources for our investment initiatives. We also completed a tender offer for our Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 and exchanged approximately $194 million of these Notes for approximately 64 million shares of our common stock and approximately $12 million of cash.”

Cash and cash equivalents were $636 million, and total debt was $1.7 billion, at June 30, 2013.

Business Outlook

“Looking ahead to the third quarter, our sales are expected to be flat as some customers are adjusting their inventory levels in response to the recent slowdown in demand for smartphones,” noted Kelley. “In light of these developments, we are lowering our estimate of 2013 capital additions from around $525 million to around $450 million. Although this slowdown in the smartphone market has reduced our expectations for the third quarter, we remain confident in the strong growth prospects for mobile communications.”

Based upon currently available information, we have the following expectations for the third quarter 2013:

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. generally accepted accounting principles ("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.

 

(2)

The potential shares of common stock and interest related to the 6.0% convertible notes due 2014 were excluded from earnings per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2012, because the effect of including these potential shares was antidilutive.

 
 

In the press release above we provide adjusted gross margin, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share for the second quarter 2012. We present these non-GAAP amounts to demonstrate the impact of the loss contingency we recognized related to our pending patent license arbitration. These measures have limitations, including that they exclude the charges 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 we have recognized. 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.
