(Taipei News) Winbond Electronics Corporation today announced its monthly revenue results for the month of November 2000. Revenue for the month was NT $3.96 billion, a decrease of 5.54 percent when compared with NT $4.19 billion over the same period last year. The accumulated revenue for January through November totaled approximately NT $44.93 billion, an increase of nearly 66.51 percent when compared with the accumulated total revenue of NT$27.0 billion over the same period last year.
Revenue results were influenced by the continued softening of DRAM pricing. The continued down turn in DRAM pricing resulted in a slight reduction in Winbond's November revenues. Currently, about 70 percent of the Company's DRAM are comprised of 128MB products. The rest are 16MB and 64MB; specialized DRAM products for graphic cards or other applications. Since 30 percent of DRAM products manufactured by Winbond are not typically sold for PC motherboard applications, Winbond's revenues experienced comparatively less impact from the continued drop in DRAM pricing. The General IC Business Group continued to perform well. The Group's digital video IC products reported outstanding monthly revenue growth in November. In addition, the Company's TFT-LCD driver ICs have begun to reach production capacity. The Company expects substantial growth next year in network ICs, wireless communications and LCD driver ICs, all of which are expected to drive overall company revenue. Winbond's strategy is to effectively minimize the consequences of economic downturns by maintaining and balancing the long-term competitiveness of its two major business groups.
