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 unaudited consolidated financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017. All U.S. dollar figures cited in this press release are based on the exchange rate of NT$30.33 against US$1.00 as of September 29, 2017.

All the figures were prepared in accordance with Taiwan-International Financial Reporting Standards ("Taiwan-IFRS"). In March 2017, the Company completed the sale and transfer of 54.98% equity interests of its former wholly-owned subsidiary ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES (Shanghai) LTD. ("ChipMOS Shanghai") to Tsinghua Unigroup led investors ("Strategic Investors"). Under Taiwan-IFRS, starting in Q1 2017 the revenue generated by ChipMOS Shanghai is no longer included in the Company's consolidated revenue. The Company, however, recognizes 45.02% of the net income generated from ChipMOS Shanghai on an ongoing basis. Revenue from ChipMOS Shanghai has been excluded from all periods indicated.

Net revenue for the third quarter of 2017 was NT$4,431.1 million or US$146.1 million, a decrease of 2.4% from NT$4,541.2 million or US$149.7 million in the second quarter of 2017 and a decrease of 7.1% from NT$4,769.0 million or US$157.2 million for the same period in 2016.

Net earnings for the third quarter of 2017 was US$0.13 per diluted ADS, compared to US$0.25 per diluted ADS for the second quarter of 2017. Net income attributable to equity holders of the Company for the third quarter of 2017 was NT$162.0 million or US$5.3 million, and NT$0.19 or US$0.01 per basic common share and NT$0.19 or US$0.01 per diluted common share, as compared to net income attributable to equity holders of the Company for the second quarter of 2017 of NT$321.4 million or US$10.6 million, and NT$0.38 or US$0.01 per basic common share and NT$0.38 or US$0.01 per diluted common share, and compared to net income attributable to equity holders of the Company in the third quarter of 2016 of NT$255.1 million or US$8.4 million, and NT$0.30 or US$0.01 per basic common share and NT$0.29 or US$0.01 per diluted common share.

For the first nine months of 2017, total revenue was NT$13,532.6 million or US$446.2 million. Net earnings for the first nine months of 2017 were NT$66.39 or US$2.19 per diluted ADS, with NT$3.32 or US$0.11 per diluted common share in the same period.

S.J. Cheng, Chairman and President of ChipMOS, said, "The third quarter developed as expected and reflects the impact of a lower allocation from our largest DRAM customer, along with product mix changes in our Niche DRAM business. On the positive side, we continue to benefit from growth in DDIC demand, which is being led by further adoption of 4K2K/UHD TVs, and higher driver demand from smartphone customers. We expect this to be a multi-year demand catalyst due to the shift underway to 18 by 9 screen with narrow bezel or a full screen panel, along with higher demand for OLED, and TDDI. We expect to see a margin benefit as we capture our increased share of these opportunities due to the required longer test times. These models will use a more advanced driver solution with 12" fine pitch COF package, which we already have in volume production. As we move into 2018, we expect to also benefit from the increased adoption of optical sensors in the mobile market, where we are well positioned in the supply chain. We are also encouraged by strong demand for NOR Flash, in particular, wafer test services. As a result our NOR wafer test capacity remains fully utilized."

Silvia Su, Senior Director of Finance and Accounting, commented, "Our gross margin was impacted by several items in the third quarter, including, the lower allocation from our largest DRAM customer, production disruption and loss from Taiwan's massive August power outage. We reduced our short-term bank loans by about US$34.0 million. We also paid cash dividend of approximately US$28.2 million in the third quarter. We continue to execute on our core business, target sustainable higher margin growth opportunities, and prioritize capital expenditures in support of our long-term growth strategy."

     starting in Q1 2017 the revenue generated by ChipMOS Shanghai is no longer included in the Company's consolidated revenue.  The Company, however, recognizes 45.02% of the net income generated
     from ChipMOS Shanghai on an ongoing basis.
