Remarks:
The first quarter diluted earnings per share were NT$1.10, representing an increase of 54.0% over the same period last year and a decline of 16.4% from the previous quarter. The consolidated operating results of 1Q08 are summarized below:
Net sales in the first quarter were NT$87.5 billion, up 34.8% from NT$64.9 billion in 1Q07 and down 6.8% from NT$93.9 billion in 4Q07.
Gross profit for the quarter was NT$38.2 billion with gross margin of 43.7%, 4.1 percentage points lower than the 47.8% gross margin in 4Q07, mainly due to accrued expenses of employee profit sharing and negative impact of a higher than forecast appreciation of the NT dollar.
Operating expenses, including expenses accrued for employee profit sharing, were NT$9.1 billion or 10.4% of net sales. The combined result from non-operating income and long-term investments was a gain of NT$2.4 billion.
Consolidated net income attributable to shareholders of the parent company, including an accrual of employee profit sharing, was NT$28.1 billion, up 49.4% from a year ago level and down 18.4% from the previous quarter. Net profit margin was 32.2% for 1Q08.

Revenue Analysis:
In-line with our guidance, first quarter 2008 revenue reached NT$87.5 billion. 1Q08 business followed a normal seasonal pattern but revenue was negatively impacted by a 2.6% appreciation in the NT dollar. Demand from consumer related applications grew but communication and computer applications declined during the quarter. On a sequential basis, revenue from consumer applications increased 3%, while revenues for communication and computer applications declined 9% and 12%, respectively.
As a result of continued strong ramp for our 65nm technology, revenue from 65nm reached 15% of total wafer sales during the quarter, up from 10% in the previous quarter. Meanwhile, revenue from 90nm remained strong and accounted for 28% of total wafer sales. Overall, revenues from advanced technologies (0.13-micron and below) accounted for 63% of total wafer sales, up four percentage points from the 4Q07.
Revenues from IDM customers accounted for 29% of total wafer sales in 1Q08, compared to 32% in 4Q07.
From a geographic perspective, revenues from customers based in North America accounted for 76% of total wafer sales. Meanwhile, sales from customers in Asia Pacific, Europe and Japan accounted for 12%, 9% and 3% of wafer sales, respectively.

Gross Profit Analysis:
Gross margin in 1Q08 was 43.7%, down 4.1 percentage points from the previous quarter, reflecting the expensing of employee profit sharing (2.5 percentage points), an appreciation of NT dollar (1.0 percentage point), and a lower level of capacity utilization, partially offset by cost improvements.

Operating Expenses:
Total operating expenses for 1Q08, including the accrued expenses of employee profit sharing (2.3 percentage points), increased by 12.9% sequentially to reach NT$9.1 billion, or 10.4% of net sales, compared with 8.6% of net sales in the previous quarter.
Research and development expenditures increased by NT$258 million quarter-over-quarter, mainly due to expensing of employee profit sharing, offset partially by cost improvement due to the maturity of 65nm technologies.
SG&A expenses increased by NT$780 million from the previous quarter, mostly due to expensing of employee profit sharing.

*   PSE: Profit Sharing Expenses
 
**   2007 PSE impact is estimated using the 12/31/2007 closing share price adjusted for dividends
The Impact of Employee Profit Sharing:
Total impact from employee profit sharing expensing (PSE) on gross margin in 1Q08 was 2.5 percentage points. If we use 12/31/2007 market price, adjusted for dividends, to reflect PSE’s impact in 2007, gross margin in 1Q08 would represent an improvement of 50 basis points from 4Q07.
Similarly, total PSE impact on operating margin was 4.8 percentage points in 1Q08, which was 4.2 percentage points less than that of 4Q07.

Total current liabilities increased by NT$13.3 billion in 1Q08, primarily due to increases in payables to equipment suppliers, accrual of employee profit sharing, and reclassification of corporate bonds.
Net working capital was NT$219.4 billion at the end of the quarter, current ratio declined slightly to 4.5.

Capacity:
Total TSMC managed capacity was 2,180K 8-inch equivalent wafers in the first quarter, 4% lower than 4Q07, mostly due to scheduled fab maintenance and less working days.
TSMC managed capacity in 2Q08 will increase by 6% to reach 2,308K 8-inch equivalent wafers.
Total managed capacity for 2008 is expected to reach 9,374K 8-inch equivalent wafers, representing an increase of 13% from 8,290K 8-inch equivalent wafers in 2007, while capacity for 12-inch wafer fabs will increase by 25%.
