Amkor Technology Amkor Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMKR) is a high-tech semiconductor product manufacturer that includes Intel and IBM among its primary customers. Previously headquartered in West Chester, Pennsylvania, United States, Amkor recently announced that it will move to Chandler, , Inc. (Nasdaq: AMKR AMKR Amkor Technology ) reported fourth quarter sales of $426 million and a net loss of $196 million, or ($1.19) per share. The net loss for the fourth quarter includes $172 million in non-cash charges Non-Cash Charge

A charge off, made by a company against earnings, that does not require an initial outlay of cash.

Notes:
Non-cash charges are typically against the depreciation, amortization, and depletion accounts on a company's balance sheet.
 incurred in the quarter as detailed below:
-- a non-cash charge of $129 million, or $0.78 per share, recorded to establish a valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset consisting primarily of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, as part of its income tax provision. Generally accepted accounting principles require companies to weigh both positive and negative evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance. In light of the Company's three years of cumulative losses, an unprecedented industry downturn and continued poor visibility of customer demand, Amkor determined in the fourth quarter that a valuation allowance representing substantially all of its deferred tax assets was appropriate. These negative factors outweighed Amkor's forecasted future profitability and expectation that it will be able to utilize its Net Operating Loss carryforwards (NOL);

-- a non-cash impairment charge of $33 million, or $0.20 per share, to reduce the carrying value of Amkor's investment in Anam Semiconductor, Inc. (ASI) to ASI's market value of $2.90 per share based on ASI's closing share price on December 31, 2002; and

-- a non-cash special charge of $10 million, or $0.06 per share, in connection with a consolidation of two Korean factories as part of an ongoing program designed to increase operational efficiency and reduce costs. Amkor will transfer most of the assembly operations at its 271,000 sq. ft. K2 site in Bucheon, South Korea into its one million square foot, state-of-the-art K4 factory in Kwangju, South Korea. Amkor expects to complete the closing of the K2 facility during the second quarter of 2003.


Excluding these charges, Amkor's fourth quarter net loss was $24 million, or ($0.15) per share. For the fourth quarter of 2001, Amkor's net loss, excluding goodwill amortization, was $108 million, or ($0.67) per share.

Fourth quarter 2002 revenue was in line with guidance provided in the company's third quarter earnings release, and gross margin exceeded the company's expectations. Assembly & test revenue was $373 million, up 26% over the year-ago period and down 5% from the third quarter.

 fab revenue was $53 million compared with $60 million in the third quarter. Total revenue was $426 million, up 21% from the year-ago period and down 6% from the third quarter. Fourth quarter gross margin increased to 15.6% from 11.5% in the third quarter and negative 2.4% in the year-ago period, due in part to lower levels of depreciation, ongoing cost efficiency programs, and higher capacity utilization Capacity Utilization measures the rate at which a firm makes use of their capital productive capacities, such as factories and machinery.

For the full year, revenue was $1.6 billion, an 8% increase over 2001. Amkor's net loss was $827 million, or ($5.04) per share, compared to a net loss, excluding goodwill amortization, of $335 million, or ($2.13) per share in 2001.

Amkor calculates EBITDA as earnings before income taxes; special charges; equity in income (loss) of affiliates; minority interest; foreign currency gain or loss; interest expense, net; depreciation and amortization; loss on disposal of assets; and loss on impairment of equity investment. EBITDA is a common measure used by investors to evaluate a company's ability to service debt.

Capital expenditures were $13 million for the fourth quarter and $95 million for the year. Depreciation and amortization totaled $60 million for the fourth quarter and $325 million for the year.

"We ended the year with improved financial liquidity," said Ken Joyce, Amkor's chief financial officer. "During the year we extended our existing financial covenant framework under our bank agreement through December 31, 2003 and achieved positive cash flow for the second half of the year. We have $311 million in cash at December 31, compared with $235 million at September 30, 2002. The fourth quarter cash increase includes $26 million in processing fees payable to ASI under the foundry A semiconductor manufacturer that makes chips for third parties.

-- In September 2002, Amkor sold 20 million shares of ASI common

-- In January 2003, Amkor reached a definitive agreement to sell

its wafer fabrication services business to ASI for total

consideration of $62 million.

merger between ASI and Dongbu, (i) Amkor acquired a 10%

interest in Acqutek from ASI for $2 million; (ii) Amkor

 and it is possible that if each of the transactions were viewed on a stand-alone basis without regard to the other transaction, Amkor could have had different conclusions as to fair value.

In January 2003, Amkor reached final agreement with ASI to sell Amkor's wafer fabrication services business to ASI, subject to foreign regulatory approval. Additionally, Amkor is structuring a release from ASI's largest customer regarding Amkor's contractual obligations with respect to its wafer fabrication services. The sale of the wafer fabrication services business is expected to close during the first quarter of 2003, at which time Amkor expects to reflect its wafer fabrication services segment as a discontinued operation discontinued operation

The carrying value of Amkor's remaining investment in ASI at December 31, 2002 was $77 million and could be subject to additional impairment charges if ASI's share price continues to decline. Although Amkor intends to monetize its remaining investment in ASI, the ultimate level of proceeds could be less than the current carrying value.

Business Outlook

The first calendar quarter is typically a seasonally down quarter for Amkor. On the basis of customers' forecasts, we currently expect first quarter 2003 assembly & test revenue to be around 10% lower than the fourth quarter. We expect first quarter 2003 gross margin to be around 11%. As noted above, we anticipate that the wafer fabrication services business will be treated as a discontinued operation in the first quarter.

We will resume the recognition of deferred tax assets when Amkor returns to profitability. Additionally, until we utilize our NOLs, the income tax provision will reflect modest levels of foreign taxation. At December 31, 2002, our company has U.S. net operating losses Net operating losses
