Revenue Analysis:
4Q09 marked the third consecutive growth quarter, mainly driven by strong demand from Computer related applications during the quarter. Revenues from Computer applications grew 22% sequentially, while Communication declined 8% after strong momentum in the prior two quarters and Consumer declined 15% following seasonal pattern.
As demand for 40/45nm technology remained strong and yield continued to improve, revenues from 40/45nm again more than doubled during the quarter and accounted for 9% of total wafer sales. Meanwhile, demand from 65nm and 90nm continued to be robust and accounted for 30% and 16%, respectively. Overall, revenues from 0.13-micron and below increased three percentage points sequentially and represented 70% of total wafer sales.
Revenues from IDM customers accounted for 21% of total wafer sales in 4Q09, up one percentage point from 3Q09.
From a geographic perspective, revenues from customers based in North America accounted for 71% of total wafer sales, while sales from Asia Pacific, China, Europe and Japan accounted for 13%, 3%, 10%, and 3% of total wafer sales, respectively.

Gross Profit Analysis:
Gross margin for the quarter was 48.5%, increased by 0.8 percentage point from 47.7% in 3Q09, due to a higher level of capacity utilization and continued cost improvement, partially offset by the unfavorable exchange rate.
On a full year basis, gross margin for 2009 was 43.7%, increased 1.2 percentage points from 2008, mainly due to a favorable exchange rate and cost improvement, partially offset by an adverse inventory valuation adjustment under ROC SFAS No.10.

Operating Expenses:
Total operating expenses for 4Q09 increased by NT$0.18 billion to NT$11.05 billion, representing 12.0% of net sales.
SG&A expenses decreased by NT$0.19 billion from 3Q09, primarily due to lower legal fees.
Research and development expenditures increased by NT$0.37 billion sequentially, mainly due to increased development activities in 28nm and 22nm technologies.
For full year 2009, total operating expenses were NT$37.37 billion, similar to that in 2008. However, due to a lower net sales base, total operating expenses accounted for 12.6% of net sales in 2009, compared with 11.1% in the prior year.

Non-operating income was NT$1.43 billion for 4Q09, a NT$0.91 billion increase from 3Q09, primarily due to the receipt of litigation compensation.
Net investment gain was NT$0.30 billion, lower than NT$0.45 billion in the prior quarter, mainly due to lower profits from certain invested companies.
On a full year basis, total non-operating items decreased by NT$3.54 billion to NT$3.50 billion in 2009, mostly due to less interest income and weaker business in certain invested companies.

Summary of Cash Flow:
Cash generated from operating activities totaled NT$62.00 billion during the quarter, an increase of NT$15.34 billion from 3Q09, mainly due to the increase in net income, the absence of the cash payment of employee profit sharing, and a decrease in net working capital.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased NT$4.41 billion to NT$47.10 billion in 4Q09, primarily reflecting less purchases of marketable financial instruments, partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures.
Net cash used in financing activities was NT$0.28 billion during the quarter.
As a result, TSMC ended 4Q09 with a cash balance of NT$171.28 billion.

*   Starting 2008, Taiwan accounting rule requires company to expense employee profit sharing
On a full year basis, cash generated from operating activities decreased NT$61.52 billion to NT$159.97 billion in 2009. The decrease mainly reflected the decrease in net income, the cash payment of 2008 employee profit sharing made in 2009, and increases in net working capital due to acceleration of business momentum.
Net cash used in investing activities was NT$96.47 billion in 2009, NT$88.43 billion higher than that in 2008, primarily reflecting redemptions of marketable financial instruments in 2008 and the increase in capital expenditures during 2009.
Meanwhile, net cash used in financing activities decreased by NT$29.92 billion to NT$85.47 billion during 2009, mainly due to the absence of repurchase of treasury stock and the reclassification of employee profit sharing from financing activities to operating activities starting 2009, partially offset by the repayment of corporate bonds in the first quarter.

IV-2. Operating and Free Cash Flows
(CHART)
Operating and Free Cash Flows:
Cash flows generated from operating activities were NT$62.00 billion during the quarter. Free cash flow, defined as the excess of operating cash flows over capital expenditures, totaled NT$19.29 billion in 4Q09, compared to NT$14.62 billion in 3Q09.
Total free cash flow generated in 2009 was NT$72.19 billion, declined NT$90.08 billion from NT$162.27 billion in 2008. The year-over-year decline was primarily due to lower business activities resulting from the economic downturn and the increased capital expenditures.

(1)   Figures represent number of 6² wafers. Conversion to 8²-equivalent wafers is obtained by dividing this number by 1.78
 
(2)   Figures represent number of 12² wafers. Conversion to 8²-equivalent wafers is obtained by multiplying this number by 2.25
Capacity:
Total managed capacity was 2,532K 8-inch equivalent wafers in 4Q09, increased by 3.6% from 2,444K in 3Q09. TSMC managed capacity in 1Q10 is expected to increase by 1% to reach 2,557K 8-inch equivalent wafers. 12² wafer capacity will increase by 38K (12²). However, due to scheduled annual maintenance and capacity migration to higher nodes, total legacy fabs capacity will decrease by 60K (8²) in the first quarter of 2010.
Total managed capacity in 2009 reached 9,955K 8-inch equivalent wafers, representing an increase of 6.2% from 9,377K 8-inch equivalent wafers in 2008, while capacity for 12-inch wafer fabs increased by 10.8% year-over-year, reaching 41.5% of total 2009 capacity.
