United Microelectronics's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
The company operates in the global semiconductor foundry industry, competing with dedicated foundry service providers and foundry operations of integrated device manufacturers (IDMs). While IDMs primarily produce proprietary semiconductor products, they may also offer foundry services. Some competitors, including the company's largest rivals, have announced plans to significantly increase capacity expenditures, which could lead to industry-wide overcapacity. Overcapacity may result in price reductions or operating below full capacity, adversely affecting margins and profitability. Competitors may adopt new technologies more rapidly, potentially diminishing the company's competitive position and leading to customer and revenue losses. Market prices for advanced technologies and services typically decline over time, and delays in offering new advanced services may necessitate price reductions on existing services, impacting profitability. Additionally, new entrants and consolidations within the foundry sector may increase competitive pricing and overcapacity in legacy technologies. Some competitors possess greater access to capital and substantially larger production capabilities.
