Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC) held its regular shareholders' meeting hosted by Hsieh Tsai-chu. He stated that Chairman Frank Huang was unable to attend this year's meeting due to recent mobility issues but will certainly attend next year.
Hsieh Tsai-chu said that considering the industry climate and reviewing future operational expenditures, no dividends will be distributed this year. However, they are very confident in operations for the second half of this year, expect to make a profit for the full year—potentially a substantial one—and will definitely distribute earnings next year.
Chu Hsien-kuo stated that PSMC's revenue in 2025 was NT$46.7 billion, an annual increase of 4%. Logic foundry accounted for 61% of revenue, among which power management and power devices accounted for 36%, and 3D artificial intelligence accounted for about 2%. However, because the new Tongluo fab is still far from reaching economic scale, it resulted in a net loss after tax of NT$7.8 billion.
Chu Hsien-kuo mentioned that 2025 marked the bottom of their operations. Operations started to strengthen in the first quarter of this year, and even excluding non-operating income from disposing of the Tongluo fab, the core business has already begun to turn a profit. In the future, PSMC will transform from a traditional wafer foundry into a professional foundry service company centered on AI applications. (Edited by Lin Jia-hsien) 1150410
