Dr. Tzu-Yin Chiu, SMIC’s Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director, commented, “Excluding Wuhan contribution, SMIC achieved record high revenue in the second quarter, which is our ninth consecutive profitable quarter. We reached a gross margin of 28%—our highest since 2005.

Compared to Q1 2014, utilization was up more than 10 percentage points; while revenue increased 13.4% sequentially. When comparing Q2 2014 to Q1 2014, gross margin increased 6.7 percentage points, profit from operations nearly doubled, and net profit tripled. We continue to emphasize the priority of sustained profitability and carefully planned growth. Overall, we are optimistic about 2015 as we prepare our capacity and technology for many new and exciting opportunities.

One of our growth drivers for 2015 will be 28nm. We are happy to work with our long-time customer as we ramp up this new technology. We are on track to have production ramp up in 2015. We are also working with other customers who are targeting to capture the LTE handset IC market in China, AP for tablets, and RF applications on 28nm.

Our other growth driver for this year and more so in 2015 is our differentiated product offering. SMIC continues to experience high demand for 8-inch production capacity for PMIC, CIS, e-NVM, and sensors. Our effort in 12-inch specialty process development has recently yielded the industry’s leading 55nm embedded NVM solution. Our customer has entered into high volume production based on this technology.

The strong IC demand in China is continuing to drive our growth. For the first time in SMIC’s history, our China revenue has exceeded all other regions in the second quarter. Revenue from China now accounts for more than 44% of our total revenue.

The second quarter recovery ended with strong financials and profitability for SMIC. We are optimistic about 2015 as we prepare for growth on 8-inch and 28nm. We continue to have confidence in our strategy to capture growth opportunities in China.”

About Non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“Non-GAAP”) Financial Measures

To supplement SMIC’s consolidated financial results presented in accordance with IFRS, SMIC uses in this press release measures of operating results that are adjusted to exclude wafer shipments from Wuhan Xinxin Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (“Wuhan Xinxin”), which SMIC began gradually phasing out in 3Q13. There were no wafer shipments from Wuhan Xinxin from 1Q14 onwards. This earnings release includes non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP cost of sales, non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating expenses, which consists of total operating expenses as adjusted to exclude the effect ofemployee bonus accrual, government funding and gain from the disposal of living quarters. It also includes third quarter 2014 guidance for non-GAAP operating expenses. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS.

SMIC believes that use of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors’ and management’s comparisons to SMIC’s historical performance. The Company’s management regularly uses these non-GAAP financial measures to understand, manage and evaluate the Company’s business and make financial and operational decisions.

The accompanying table has more information and reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis.

  R&D expenses increased to $45.1 million in 2Q14, compared to $36.7 million in 1Q14. The increase was primarily due to 1) a decrease in the funding of R&D contracts from the government, which was $7.6 million in 2Q14, compared to $11.7 million in 1Q14 and 2) an increase of R&D activities in 2Q14.

  General and administrative expenses increased to $35.5 million in 2Q14, up 53.2% QoQ from $23.2 million in 1Q14, mainly because 1) accrued employee bonus increased by $7.1 million and 2) government tax surcharges increased by $2.4 million in 2Q14.

  Other operating income increased 57.7% QoQ from $3.0 million in 1Q14 to $4.8 million in 2Q14, mainly because of the gain arising from the disposal of part of the living quarters in Beijing.

Other operating income decreased 85.6% YoY compared to $33.1 million in 2Q13, mainly because of 1) the gain arising from the disposal of part of the living quarters in Shanghai in 2Q13 and 2) the gain arising from the disposal of the Company’s total ownership interest in SMIC (Wuhan) Development Corporation which was mainly engaged in the construction, operation and management of SMIC living quarters and schools in Wuhan in 2Q13.

n Capital expenditures for 2Q14 were $142.4 million.
n The Company raised planned 2014 capital expenditures for
foundry operations from approximately $1.0 billion to approximately $1.1
billion. The increase is mainly for product-mix change, including conversion
from 40/45nm to 28nm in our Shanghai 12-inch fab, and the expansion of capacity
in our Tianjin 8-inch fab from 39K to 42K. Around $570 million of the total
estimated 2014 capital expenditures is expected to be used for our new Beijing
majority owned subsidiary, which is 55% funded by SMIC and 45% funded by the
other shareholders of the subsidiary.
n As previously announced, 2014 capital expenditures for
non-foundry operations is approximately $110 million, mainly for the
construction of living quarters. The Company plans to rent out or sell these
living quarter units to employees in the future.

Non-GAAP operating expenses
  (86,600 )   (79,363 )
 
               

Note:

  (1)   SMIC defines non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP cost of sales and non-GAAP gross margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures, as revenue, cost of sales and gross margin, in each case excluding wafer shipments from Wuhan Xinxin. SMIC also defines non-GAAP operating expenses prepared on a forward-looking basis as a non-GAAP measure in our next quarter’s guidance, which is adjusted to exclude the effect of employee bonus accrual, government funding and gain from the disposal of living quarters. SMIC reviews non-GAAP financial measures together with revenue, cost of sales, gross margin and operating expenses to understand, manage and evaluate its business and make financial and operational decisions. The Company also believes it is useful supplemental information for investors and analysts to assess its operating performance without the effect of wafer shipments from Wuhan Xinxin, which were not output through its production capacity. SMIC announced in March 2013 that it had ceased to manage and operate the 300mm wafer fab in Wuhan owned by Wuhan Xinxin, and began gradually phasing out wafer shipments from Wuhan Xinxin in 3Q13. There were no wafer shipments from Wuhan Xinxin from 1Q14 onwards. However, the use of non-GAAP financial measures has material limitations as an analytical tool. One of the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not include all items that impact our net profit for the period. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similar titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measure in isolation from or as an alternative to revenue, cost of sales, gross margin and operating expenses prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of each of non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP cost of sales, non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating expenses to its most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with IFRS, for the periods indicated.
