AU Optronics Corp. Reports 1Q2013 Financial Results
 
Issued by: AU Optronics Corp.
Issued on: April 30, 2013
 
Hsinchu, Taiwan, April 30, 2013 –

AU Optronics Corp. ("AUO" or the "Company") (TAIEX: 2409; NYSE: AUO) today held its investors conference and announced its unaudited earnings results for the first quarter of 2013(1).

Consolidated revenue in the first quarter of 2013 was NT$94,244 million (US$3,161 million) (2), down 5.2% from the previous quarter. Gross profit was NT$4,548 million (US$153 million), with the gross margin of 4.8%. Operating loss was NT$1,361 million (US$46 million), with the operating margin of -1.4%. AUO’s net loss for the first quarter of 2013 was NT$3,320 million (US$111 million). Net loss attributable to owners of Company was NT$3,173 million (US$106 million), or a basic EPS of -NT$0. 36 (-US$0.12 per ADR).

 
1Q2013 Result Highlights
 
AUO’s unaudited consolidated results for the first quarter of 2013 were highlighted as below:
 
Ÿ  
Revenue was NT$94,244 million, down 5.2% quarter-over-quarter
Ÿ  
Net loss was NT$3,320 million
Ÿ  
Basic EPS was -NT$0. 36
Ÿ  
Gross margin was 4.8%
Ÿ  
Operating margin was -1.4%
Ÿ  
EBITDA (3) margin was 16.3%

In the first quarter of 2013, shipments for AUO's large-sized panel shipments reached around 27.0 million units, down by 13% quarter-over-quarter. Shipments for small and medium-sized panels were around 30.7 million units, down 18.5% quarter-over-quarter.

Looking back to the first quarter, AUO’s display segment dispelled the gloom and turned profitable at the operating level despite the traditional slow season. On the back of product mix improvement and yield enhancement, for the display segment, the company reported positive operating margin with EBITDA margin increased to 17.5%. AUO not only had critical breakthroughs on the yield of tablet panels and also had at least doubled its tablet panel shipments sequentially. Also, the Company’s UHD 4K TV panels have been well recognized by the leading international brands and mass production has smoothly commenced in the first quarter. On the other hand, for the solar segment, the market and product differentiation that gradually evolved has helped to boost the demand and price of the high-efficiency products. In addition, with the Company’s constant efforts to work down the operating expenses, its loss for the solar segment has further improved.
 
Looking forward to the second quarter, the Company’s operation is expected to further grow supported by several positive factors. For the TV panel market, AUO plans to ride the trends of large-screen TV to increase the average panel size of the Company and to continuously strengthen its competitive edge on the high-resolution products. In addition, for the small and medium-sized panels and touch applications, the Company’s customer portfolio is becoming more solid and diversified. With more customers’ new models expected to roll out this quarter, the Company’s capacity utilization rates has chances to trend up sequentially. Driven together by smartphone, tablet, and touch panels, it is hoped to further contribute to AUO’s growth momentum and earnings performance.

(1) All financial information was unaudited and was prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles on Taiwan IFRS.
(2) Amounts converted by an exchange rate of NTD29.81:USD1 based on Federal Reserve Bank of New York, USA as of March 31, 2013.
(3) EBITDA=Operating Income +D&A, that is, operating income before depreciation and amortization.

Safe Harbor Notice

[]   The statements included in this presentation that are not historical in
     nature are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A
     of the United States Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the United
     States Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements,
     which may include statements regarding AU Optronics' future results of
     operations, financial condition or business prospects, are subject to
     significant risks and uncertainties and are based on AU Optronics' current
     expectations.

[]   Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in
     these forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, including, among
     other things: the cyclical nature of our industry; our dependence on
     introducing new products on a timely basis; our dependence on growth in the
     demand for our products; our ability to compete effectively; our ability to
     successfully expand our capacity; our dependence on key personnel; general
     economic and political conditions, including those related to the TFT-LCD
     industry; possible disruptions in commercial activities caused by natural
     and human-induced disasters, including terrorist activity and armed
     conflict; and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

[]   Beginning on January 1, 2013, we have adopted the International Financial
     Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards
     Board ("IFRS") to the extent endorsed by the ROC Financial Supervisory
     Commission ("FSC") ("Taiwan IFRS") for reporting our annual and interim
     consolidated financial statements in the ROC in accordance with the
     requirements of the FSC. All financial information contained herewithin is
     presented in conformity with Taiwan IFRS. Readers should be cautioned that
     Taiwan IFRS differs in many material respects from accounting principles
     generally accepted in the Republic of China ("ROC GAAP"), the United States
     of America ("US GAAP"), and IFRS including to the extent that any new or
     amended standards or interpretations applicable under IFRS may not be
     timely endorsed by the FSC. We have historically presented our consolidated
     financial statements in accordance with ROC GAAP, including our
     consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.
     Consequently, the selected comparison financial information to be included
     in our quarterly earning releases in 2013 may differ materially from those
     released historically.

[]   Our release of financial forecasts and forward-looking statements at any
     particular time does not create any duty of disclosure beyond that which is
     imposed by law, and we expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly update
     or revise any forecasts or forward-looking statements, whether as a result
     of new information, future events or otherwise.

[]   Additional information as to these and other factors that may cause actual
     results to differ materially from AU Optronics' forward-looking statements
     or some of the major differences between ROC GAAP and US GAAP, IFRS or
     Taiwan IFRS can be found in AU Optronics' Annual Report on Form 20-F with
