Exhibit 99.1
STATS ChipPAC Reports First Quarter 2009 Results
Singapore — 4/29/2009, United States — 4/29/2009— STATS ChipPAC Ltd. (“STATS ChipPAC” or the “Company” — SGX-ST: STATSChP), a leading semiconductor test and advanced packaging service provider, today announced results for first quarter 2009.
Tan Lay Koon, President and Chief Executive Officer of STATS ChipPAC, said, “Revenue for first quarter of 2009 of $220.5 million decreased by 32.1% over prior quarter and by 48.4% over the first quarter of 2008. Our first quarter revenue reflected continued contraction in demand for our services as our customers adjusted their inventories and consequently reduced new build orders to us in response to severe weakness in their end markets as a result of the global economic downturn. As the quarter progressed, we saw selected restocking of inventories by some customers and some rebound in demand for our services.”
Net loss for first quarter of 2009, including an additional $12.9 million of restructuring charges, was $51.1 million or $0.02 of net loss per diluted ordinary share, compared to net income of $17.9 million or $0.01 of net income per diluted ordinary share in the first quarter of 2008.
John Lau, Chief Financial Officer of STATS ChipPAC, said, “In response to a further revenue decrease over the prior quarter, we implemented longer mandatory shutdowns and vacations; and additional workforce reduction of approximately 600 employees in March 2009 (representing approximately 5% of the Company’s global workforce), to reduce our cash costs and operating expenses. An additional $12.9 million of restructuring charges was included in the first quarter of 2009. The gross margin in first quarter of 2009 was (1.0)% compared to 17.4% in the first quarter of 2008, and 11.6% in the prior quarter. Operating margin for first quarter of 2009, including restructuring charges of $12.9 million (5.9% of revenue), was (19.7)% of revenue, compared to 7.5% over the first quarter of 2008 and (4.1)% over the prior quarter. Capital spending in the first quarter of 2009 was significantly reduced to $9.5 million or 4.3% of revenue compared to $55.2 million or 12.9% of revenue in the first quarter of 2008. Our cash, cash equivalent and marketable securities and debt were $306.8 million and $466.8 million respectively as of first quarter of 2009, compared to $352.8 million and $473.5 million respectively as of fourth quarter of 2008.”
