Amkor Revises Second Quarter Outlook
Thursday July 1, 8:30 am ET

CHANDLER, Ariz., July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Amkor Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMKR — News) said today that revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2004 are expected to be approximately 6% higher than the first quarter of 2004, compared with prior guidance of up 5% to 8%. Amkor expects gross margin for the second quarter to be around 19% compared with prior guidance of around 24%. Net income for the second quarter is expected to be approximately 6 cents per diluted share, compared with prior guidance of 17 to 22 cents, principally due to lower than anticipated gross margin. Both the prior and revised EPS guidance include an after-tax gain of 11 cents per share from the sale of 10.1 million shares of ASI common stock.

“Our second quarter gross margin shortfall is primarily attributable to a very unfavorable product mix,” said Ken Joyce, Amkor’s Chief Financial Officer. “Our revenue from several high-margin advanced packages, including MicroLeadFrame®, Stacked CSP and ChipArray®BGA, was less than we expected, reflecting weaker-than-normal support of customer forecasts in the wireless sector and some shortages of high-end wafers from the foundries. The soft demand in our higher margin advanced packages was offset by stronger than anticipated support of forecasts in our lower margin PBGA business. In addition, we are still absorbing higher factory costs related to our capacity expansion initiatives, as well as an overall rise in material costs.

“In order to improve our margins during the second half of 2004, we are focusing our efforts on enriching our product mix, selectively raising prices, accelerating our movement to lower cost material vendors and negotiating lower prices with our existing laminate substrate vendors,” said Bruce Freyman, Amkor’s president and chief operating officer. “While forecasting the product mix has been difficult so far this year, if normal seasonal trends hold, we would expect an improvement in our product mix in the second half of 2004.”

Amkor will release second quarter financial results on Tuesday, July 27, 2004 after the market closes and will conduct a conference call at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on July 27.
