UMC Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results
22/28nm business reaches record high, accounting for 40% of Q2 revenue
Second Quarter 2025 Overview:
‧Revenue: NT$58.76 billion (US$2.01 billion)
‧Gross margin: 28.7%; Operating margin: 18.4%
‧Revenue from 22/28nm: 40%
‧Capacity utilization rate: 76%
‧Net income attributable to shareholders of the parent: NT$8.90 billion (US$304 million)
‧Earnings per share: NT$0.71; earnings per ADS: US$0.121
Taipei, Taiwan, ROC – July 30, 2025 – United Microelectronics Corporation (NYSE: UMC; TWSE: 2303) (“UMC” or “The Company”), a leading global semiconductor foundry, today announced its consolidated operating results for the second quarter of 2025.
Second quarter consolidated revenue was NT$58.76 billion, increasing 1.6% from NT$57.86 billion in 1Q25. Compared to a year ago, 2Q25 revenue increased 3.4%. Consolidated gross margin for 2Q25 was 28.7%. Net income attributable to the shareholders of the parent was NT$8.90 billion, with earnings per ordinary share of NT$0.71.
Jason Wang, co-president of UMC, said, “In the second quarter, the utilization rate increased to 76%, as wafer shipments grew 6.2% QoQ, primarily driven by communications in imaging signal processors, NAND controllers, WiFi and LCD controllers. While we experienced an increase in the overall utilization and a growth of our 22/28nm portfolio, the unfavorable foreign exchange movement of the NT dollar capped our gross margin to 28.7% by nearly 3 percentage points. Revenue from our 22/28nm portfolio continued to grow sequentially, now accounting for 40% of total sales, a record high in both percentage and absolute dollar terms. Our industry-leading 22/28nm solutions continue to win adoption by customers, and we expect to see further market share gains in wireless communications over the coming quarters. We have always believed that, with the right differentiation, 22/28nm is a strong and long-lasting node with a robust product pipeline. In addition, the new Phase 3 facility at our Singapore Fab 12i, set to start production in 2026, will enable UMC to better serve customers seeking diversified manufacturing for enhanced supply chain resilience.”
Co-president Wang added, “Looking ahead to the third quarter, we expect a mild increase in wafer shipments. However, adverse foreign exchange movement will lead to a decline in NT dollar revenue. We are closely monitoring the near-term uncertainties and risks as the markets anticipate US tariff policies. To navigate macro and geopolitical headwinds, including foreign exchange risks, UMC will continue to
actively manage our foreign exchange exposure and maintain financial flexibility to enhance our financial structure and business resilience.”
Co-president Wang said, “UMC was the recipient of two prestigious accolades at the 2025 Asia Responsible Enterprise Awards (AREA), organized by Enterprise Asia. Among the honors, UMC Co-President and Chief Sustainability Officer SC Chien received an award in the Responsible Business Leadership category, recognizing his leadership in advancing both business operations and sustainable development at UMC. In addition, UMC received the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Award for the company’s longstanding commitment to transparency and integrity in ESG disclosures.”
Third Quarter 2025 Outlook & Guidance
‧Wafer Shipments: Will increase by low-single digit %
‧ASP in USD: Will remain firm
‧Gross Profit Margin: Will be approximately Q2 gross margin subject to FX effect
‧Capacity Utilization: mid-70% range
