Tan Lay Koon, President and Chief Executive Officer of STATS ChipPAC, said, "We are pleased with our second quarter performance. Revenue for second quarter of 2010 increased by 35.7% to $435.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2009 and increased by 12.2% over the prior quarter. Our second quarter revenue reflected strong demand across all segments and was better than seasonal trend. As a result of higher savings from cost reduction effort and richer product mix, profitability for the quarter significantly improved over corresponding quarter a year ago."
Net income for second quarter of 2010 was $37.3 million or $0.02 of net income per diluted ordinary share, compared to $2.2 million or $0.00 per diluted ordinary share in the second quarter of 2009 and net income of $27.5 million or $0.01 of net income per diluted ordinary share in the prior quarter.
John Lau, Chief Financial Officer of STATS ChipPAC, said, "Our gross margin in the second quarter of 2010 was 21.5% compared to 15.1% in the second quarter of 2009 and 20.0% in the prior quarter. Operating margin for second quarter of 2010 was 12.9% of revenue compared to 4.7% in the second quarter of 2009 and 11.2% in the prior quarter. Capital spending in the second quarter of 2010 was $67.7 million or 15.5% of revenue compared to $32.4 million or 10.1% of revenue in the second quarter of 2009, as we continued investments in wafer level packaging and 300mm eWLB manufacturing capacity. We ended the second quarter of 2010 with cash, cash equivalent and marketable securities of $381.1 million and debt of $451.4 million, compared to $368.1 million and $458.0 million, respectively, as of the fourth quarter of 2009."
