Chip packager Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (ASE) posted consolidated revenues of NT$16.26 billion (US$504.65 million) in June 2010, up 4.9% sequentially and hitting a new monthly sales record. However, peer Siliconware Precision Industries (SPIL) saw its June sales slide on month.
Excluding sales generated by Universal Scientific Industrial (USI), ASE said revenues from its core ATM (assembly test and material) business were NT$11.1 billion in June. The figure showed growth of 4.5% on month and 43.7% on year.
Sales of ASE's ATM operations amounted to about NT$31.7 billion in the second quarter, a 15.6% increase from the first quarter when sales were NT$27.42 billion, and a 51.8% jump from NT$20.88 billion posted a year ago. The results beat the company's guidance.
ASE in end-April estimated that second-quarter shipments would rise 11-13%, and ASP stay flat, from the first quarter.
SPIL has reported consolidated revenues of NT$5.47 billion for June, down slightly from NT$5.54 billion in May. Overall results for the second quarter amounted to NT$16.39 billion, up 4.4% sequentially.
ASE and SPIL will hold their investors conferences on July 30 and 28, respectively, to discuss their performance in the second quarter and guidance for the third quarter.
