      UMC announced its unconsolidated operating results for the second quarter of 2009

1.Date of the investor/press conference:2009/07/29
2.Location of the investor/press conference: 3rd Floor, Far Eastern Plaza Hotel, 201 Tunhwa South Rd., Sec. 2, Taipei
3.Financial and business related information:United Microelectronics Corporation (NYSE: UMC; TSE: 2303) (“UMC” or “the Company”), a leading global semiconductor foundry, today announced its unconsolidated operating results for the second quarter of 2009. Revenue increased a substantial 108.8% QoQ to NT$22.63 billion, from NT$10.84 billion in 1Q09, and decreased 10.3% YoY, from NT$25.24 billion in 2Q08. Gross profit margin was 23.8%, with net margin at 11.9%. Net income in 2Q09 was NT$1.55 billion, with earnings per ordinary share of NT$0.12. Dr. Shih-Wei Sun, CEO of UMC said, “We experienced strong customer demand in 2Q09. Wafer shipments rose substantially to 898 thousand 8-inch equivalent wafers, while utilization rate for the quarter was up to 79%. Revenues for June have exceeded last year’s figures for the same month and have returned to the levels prior to the economic crisis. We expect increased revenues for Q3, and will keep a close eye on the industry situation during the upcoming quarters and proceed accordingly.”Dr. Sun continued, “UMC has executed well on its Customer-Driven Foundry Solutions approach to provide ideal solutions that meet customers’ needs. The number of new products for 65/55nm has increased as anticipated, with revenue from this technology segment growing significantly from Q1 to Q2 by approximately 120%. This will help contribute to our future revenue and market share for advanced process nodes. Furthermore, numerous customers have already adopted UMC’s independently developed 40nm high performance logic process. This volume production process incorporates many advanced technologies such as SiGe, Laser Anneal and Ultra Low-K. In addition, yield optimization for ICs designed using our 45/40nm Low Power process are progressing smoothly. For more advanced 28nm HK/MG technology development, UMC will mainly adopt the Gate-Last technology, which meets our customers’ needs for both high performance and low power technologies at advanced nodes. To help sustain this growth in advanced process demand, we have increased our CAPEX spending in 2009 to US$500 million. This amount will mainly be used to expand 65/55nm,45/40nm and 28nm production capacity and to acquire the most advanced R&D equipment.”“Throughout the past year, despite the challenges brought by the global economic crisis, UMC successfully persevered,” said Dr. Sun.“UMC’s management team and employees worked together through this period of economic adjustment, demonstrating commendable teamwork and execution to facilitate the company’s smooth reorganization and human resource consolidation.This effort resulted in significant improvements to our operating efficiency and cost structure.Looking ahead, UMC will continue to improve our utilization rate and revenues while implementing cost-control measures at the same time. We will also exercise timely CAPEX spending, aggressively invest in advanced R&D and support customers’ capacity needs in order to pursue stable, long-term growth, increase profitability, and maximize return on equity.”
