剛剛宣佈衝刺科創板,中芯國際又披露其一季度實現營收和利潤高增長,且二季度業績指引依然保持樂觀,半導體行業的高景氣度可見一斑。
營收和利潤大增
中芯國際5月13日晚間在港交所發佈一季度報告,今年第一季度實現收入9.05億美元,環比去年第四季度增加7.8%,同比去年一季度大增35.3%,創歷史新高;實現淨利潤6416.4萬美元,環比減少27.7%,同比增加422.8%。

對於靚麗的一季報,中芯國際聯合首席執行官趙海軍和樑夢鬆表示,由於市場需求和產品結構優於預期,公司一季度營收創出新高。產品方面,通訊、電腦與消費電子相關營收同比增長,逐步增加市場份額。
中芯國際營收再創新高的同時,毛利率也大幅提升。公司第一季度毛利率25.8%,環比去年第四季度的23.8%、同比去年第一季度的18.2%,均有提升。
12nm業務已貢獻業績
縱覽一季報,雖然中芯國際沒有特別提及先進製程,但各種跡象表明,其在先進製程量產方面又取得了新進展。
具體到一季報中,中芯國際在28nm上的業務營收佔比為6.5%,去年第一季度、第四季度的佔比分別為3%、5%;在14nm上的營收佔比則為1.3%,也高於去年四季度的1%。

上證報記者獲悉,除了14nm工藝的營收繼續增長,中芯國際的12nm工藝也已經開始貢獻業績。更有業內人士對記者透露,相比14/12nm這個過渡性工藝,中芯國際的“N+1”更為值得期待。
此前,中芯國際在2019年財報中透露,公司已經開發了14/12nm多種特色工藝平台,N+1的研發進程穩定,已進入客户導入及產品認證階段。
二季度業績指引折射高景氣度
在一季報中,中芯國際給出了令人期待的第二季度業績指引。
根據指引,中芯國際預計第二季度的收入環比增加3%至5%,毛利率在26%至28%之間。第二季度非國際財務報告準則的經營開支將介於2.4億美元至2.45億美元。
更為重要的是,中芯國際表示,由於市場需求旺盛,公司決定繼續增加資本支出,將資本開支上調11億美元至43億美元,以充分滿足市場需求。

中芯國際是中國大陸半導體產業的風向標,其增加資本開支,意味着行業景氣度持續走高。那麼,產業的需求都在哪裏?
中芯國際在第二季度業績指引中披露,成熟工藝平台產能滿載,攝像頭、電源管理、指紋識別、特殊存儲等相關應用需求強勁。先進工藝方面,研發與業務進展順利,持續拓展通訊、手機、汽車、消費電子等相關領域。
