Exhibit 99.1
Outlook
STATS ChipPAC Ltd. (“STATS ChipPAC” or the “Company” — NNM: STTS and SGX-ST: STATSChP) is affected by macroeconomic uncertainties and higher inventory levels at a number of semiconductor companies that have made customers more cautious in their short term business outlook. Towards the end of the second quarter, the Company experienced some customers adjusting their orders as they took aggressive actions to reduce their inventory levels. Barring significant deterioration in the macroeconomic conditions, the Company believes that the current inventory adjustments represent a pause in the growth of its business. The Company’s optimism is based on the continuing robust outlook of customers, and the restraint in capacity additions and investments throughout the manufacturing supply chain of the semiconductor industry, and the Company’s broad engagement with market leaders in the communications, consumer and computer segments of the semiconductor industry. In terms of guidance for the third quarter of 2006, the Company expects revenue in the third quarter of 2006 will be approximately 2% to 7% lower than the second quarter of 2006, with US GAAP net income per diluted ADS of $0.06 to $0.11, including the impact of $0.02 per ADS for the expensing of share-based compensation and the impact of approximately $0.01 per ADS due to restructuring activities in the quarter.
Certain statements in this press release, including statements regarding expected future financial results and industry growth, are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those described in this press release. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include general business and economic conditions and the state of the semiconductor industry; level of competition; demand for end-use applications products such as communications equipment and personal computers; reliance on a small group of principal customers; decisions by customers to discontinue outsourcing of test and packaging services; continued success in technological innovations; availability of financing; delays in acquiring or installing new equipment; our substantial level of indebtedness; potential impairment charges; ability to develop and protect our intellectual property; intellectual property rights disputes and litigation; capacity utilization; limitations imposed by our financing arrangements which may limit our ability to maintain and grow our business; pricing pressures including declines in average selling prices; changes in customer order patterns; shortages in supply of key components; disruption of our operations; loss of key management or other personnel; defects or malfunctions in our testing equipment or packages; changes in environmental laws and regulations; exchange rate fluctuations; regulatory approvals for further investments in our subsidiaries; significant ownership by Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited (Temasek Holdings) that may result in conflicting interests with Temasek Holdings and our affiliates; our ability to successfully integrate the operations of former STATS and ChipPAC and their employees; labor union problems in South Korea; uncertainties of conducting business in China; unsuccessful acquisitions and investments in other companies and businesses; and other risks described from time to time in the Company’s SEC filings, including its annual report on Form 20-F dated February 28, 2006. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Since the beginning of fiscal 2005, we employed quarterly and fiscal year reporting periods that end on the Sunday nearest to the end of each calendar quarter or calendar year, as the case may be. Our second quarter of 2006 ended on June 25, 2006, while our second quarter of 2005 ended on June 26, 2005. For ease of presentation, our second quarter of 2006 and 2005 have been presented as ending on June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. References to “US GAAP” are to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as practiced in the United States of America and references to “$” are to the lawful currency of the United States of America.
