ChipMOS REPORTS FEBRUARY 2019 REVENUE
Hsinchu, Taiwan, March 7, 2019 - ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES INC. (“ChipMOS” or the “Company”) (Taiwan Stock Exchange: 8150 and NASDAQ: IMOS), an industry leading provider of outsourced semiconductor assembly and test services (“OSAT”), today reported its unaudited consolidated revenue for the month of February 2019. All U.S. dollar figures cited in this press release are based on the exchange rate of NT$30.83 to US$1.00 as of February 28, 2019.
Revenue for the month of February 2019 was NT$1,328.5 million or US$43.1 million, a decrease of 14.3% from the month of January 2019 and an increase of 9.8% from the same period in 2018. The Company noted that growth from higher TDDI demand and favorable pricing was offset by softness impacting the broader industry in the memory business and a lower number of working days around the New Year Holiday. Based on historical trends, the Company expects the first quarter overall representing the low point for the year due to the above noted factors.
