- Revenue increased to $541.3 million in 2Q13, up 7.9% QoQ from $501.6 million in 1Q13, mainly due to an increase in wafer shipments.
- Revenue generated by shipments from Wuhan Xinxin was $39.5 million in 2Q13 compared to $29.2 million in 1Q13. This portion of revenue will gradually be phased out starting in 3Q13.
- Cost of sales in 2Q13 was $406.1 million , comparable to $403.3 million in 1Q13 despite an increase in shipments primarily due to significantly higher fab utilization. As a result, depreciation expense was distributed to a larger number of wafers produced.
- Gross profit was $135.2 million in 2Q13, an increase of 37.6% QoQ from $98.3 million in 1Q13.
- Gross margin was 25.0% in 2Q13, up from 19.6% in 1Q13 primarily due to significantly higher fab utilization in 2Q13.
- Operating expenses increased to $56.1 million in 2Q13, an increase of 19.4% QoQ from $47.0 million in 1Q13, mainly due to the reasons stated in Operating Expenses (Income) Analysis .
- Income tax expenses was $0.5 million in 2Q13, a decrease of 79.9% QoQ from $2.5 million in 1Q13, due to the effect of the decrease in the number of living quarter units disposed in 2Q13 compared to 1Q13, which also resulted in decreased income tax.
