ChipMOS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2016 RESULTS

S.K. Chen, Chief Financial Officer of ChipMOS, said, "Our Q316 gross margin was 19.0%, which came in at the high end of our guidance due to product mix and higher utilization levels. We generated US$84.3 million in cash from operations in the first three quarters of 2016, with US$45.9 million invested in CapEx, and US$0.6 million used in the repurchase of shares from the open market in 3Q16.  We made further progress with Tsinghua Unigroup on its proposed investment, which was already overwhelmingly approved by shareholders early this year. We still require regulatory approval in Taiwan but expect to reach a decision by the end of December as our private placement agreement will expire on December 11 and would require another shareholder vote to extend. Regardless of the outcome, we expect material growth in China in 2017 and should have the necessary funding in place. Beyond 2017, if the Tsinghua Unigroup investment is not approved by the Taiwan regulators we would likely pursue a joint venture structure in Shanghai to secure the more significant investment required to achieve our long-term growth targets."
