According to the company's disclosure, the overall revenue in June this year reached a record high of NT$148.47 billion (approximately 34.315 billion yuan), an increase of 22.8% over the same period last year, and the month-on-month growth rate of sales compared with May reached 32.1%. Based on the data from the first half of the year, the total revenue of TSMC in the first six months of this year reached NT$734.5 billion, a year-on-year growth rate of 18.2%, of which the total sales in the second quarter were NT$371.3 billion, a year-on-year growth rate of nearly 20%.
Against the backdrop of major leading chip factories spending money to enter advanced processes, the steadily rising revenue of TSMC is also expected to alleviate the pressure on the capital expenditure side. UMC, which also competes in the wafer manufacturing field, said on Wednesday that the current supply and demand situation in the entire industry may continue until 2023.
According to the schedule, TSMC will release its second quarter financial report on July 15 and hold a legal meeting. After revenue of US$13.233 billion in the second quarter slightly exceeded the guiding range of US$12.9-13.2 billion, the market is also looking forward to the performance of other financial indicators such as profitability.
Currently, the company's second-quarter gross profit margin and operating profit margin guidance ranges are 49.5%-51.5% and 38.5%-40.5% respectively, down 1 percentage point from the first-quarter guidance.
