(CNA Reporter Chang Chien-chung, Taipei, 16th) Semiconductor foundry TSMC reported a first-quarter revenue of 35.9 billion US dollars, a gross margin of 66.2%, and an operating margin of 58.1%, all outperforming expectations. Net income attributable to shareholders of the parent company reached 572.48 billion NTD, a record high, translating to an earnings per share (EPS) of 22.08 NTD.
TSMC held an online earnings conference today to announce its Q1 operational results. TSMC's Q1 revenue of 35.9 billion USD beat the expected range of 34.6 billion to 35.8 billion USD, amounting to approximately 1.1341 trillion NTD. This represents a record high, reflecting an 8.4% quarter-over-quarter increase and a 35.1% year-over-year increase.
In the first quarter, revenue from TSMC's High-Performance Computing (HPC) platform grew 20% quarter-over-quarter, IoT platform grew 12%, and consumer electronics platform grew 28%. These were the main drivers pushing the overall Q1 revenue to new heights.
TSMC's 3-nanometer sales accounted for approximately 25% of Q1 revenue, 5-nanometer accounted for 36%, and 7-nanometer accounted for 13%. Advanced technologies, defined as 7-nanometer and more advanced nodes, accounted for 74% of total wafer revenue.
Benefiting from cost improvements, increased capacity utilization, and favorable exchange rate conditions, TSMC's Q1 gross margin reached 66.2%, surpassing the expected 63% to 65% level, and up 3.9 percentage points from the fourth quarter of last year. Net income attributable to the parent company was 572.48 billion NTD, an increase of 13.2% quarter-over-quarter and 58.3% year-over-year, with an EPS of 22.08 NTD. (Editor: Lin Shu-yuan) 1150416
