"As part of our 2017 Japan factory consolidation plan, we incurred approximately $10 million of one-time costs in the third quarter,” said Megan Faust, Amkor’s corporate vice president and chief financial officer. “After completion of the plan in the fourth quarter, we expect annualized savings from this initiative of around $30 million, including a $25 million reduction in manufacturing costs."
"Our focus on CapEx discipline has driven improved free cash flow," added Faust. "During the quarter we redeemed $200 million of the outstanding $400 million of our Senior Notes due 2021 using cash on hand. This will result in annualized pre-tax interest savings of approximately $13 million."
Cash and cash equivalents were $519 million and total debt was $1.4 billion, at September 30, 2017.
Business Outlook
"We expect solid fourth quarter demand in mobile communications and our other end markets, leading to another year of record sales for Amkor," said Kelley.
