SUMCO Corporation: Consolidated Financial Results for the First Quarter of FY2021

1. Qualitative Information for the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2021

(1) Explanation of Business Results

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 (January 1, 2021-March 31, 2021), the supply of 300 mm wafers for logic continued to fall short of the strong demand driven by PC, smartphone, and data center, while wafers for DRAM saw ongoing demand recovery. Supply and demand tightness continued also for wafers of 200 mm and smaller with expanding demand for automotive and consumer.

In this environment, in line with the SUMCO Vision, the SUMCO Group sought to maintain our strong presence with customers through technology development aimed at meeting their needs for leading-edge, distinctive products, while endeavoring also to improve our profitability by cost reduction.

As a result, for the period under review, the Group registered consolidated net sales of 75,939 million yen, operating income of 9,370 million yen, ordinary income of 9,472 million yen, and net income attributable to owners of the parent of 7,375 million yen.

(2) Explanation of Business Forecasts

The second quarter outlook for the 300 mm semiconductor silicon wafer market is for expanding growth, marked by increasing supply and demand tightness for logic and, in the memory segment, expected recovery for NAND in addition to wafers for DRAM. Supply and demand balance is forecast to be increasingly tight for wafers of 200 mm and smaller, driven by automotive, consumer and industrial.

In this market environment, the Group will continue seeking to enhance the competitive advantage of our products by developing technologies for state-of-the-art wafers for which continued demand growth is expected, while endeavoring to meet customer needs for these products through productivity improvements making greater use of AI, and through ongoing augmenting of equipment capacity in line with this demand. We will also be paying close attention to changes in the market environment including the impact of COVID-19 and US-China trade friction.

It is difficult for the Group to formulate reasonable business forecasts for the full-year, since the semiconductor industry to which the Group belongs is characterized by drastic and short-term changes in the business environment. Therefore, the Group has adopted the policy of disclosing business forecasts for the forthcoming quarter only.

SUMCO announces its consolidated business forecasts for the six months ending June 30, 2021 as follows.
