Insights

ChipMOS's Q3 2024 results show mixed performance. While revenue grew 4.4% QoQ and 8.7% YoY to $191.7 million, net profit declined significantly to $9.5 million from $14.2 million in Q2 2024. The decline was primarily driven by forex losses of $2.3 million versus gains in previous quarters.

The 67% utilization rate indicates room for improvement in operational efficiency. However, the strong cash position of $435.3 million provides financial flexibility for future growth investments. The net free cash outflow of $12.7 million for the first nine months reflects ongoing capital expenditure in growth segments.

The reduced EPS of $0.26 per ADS compared to $0.39 in Q2 2024 and $0.50 in Q3 2023 signals pressure on profitability despite top-line growth.
