Winbond said that in the memory segment, Specialty DRAM accounted for 40% of revenue in FY17 and 8% of revenue in FY17, mainly due to limited production capacity. Mobile DRAM, which accounts for 13% of revenue and 5% of revenue in the previous fiscal year, was mainly due to the increased demand for low-capacity products. Finally, in the flash memory market, Flash Memory segment, revenue accounted for 47% of the full year and revenue increased 46% from the previous year. The growth momentum came from the increase in production capacity and the favorable market conditions.
Cumulatively, in the whole year of 2017, Winbond Electronics Co., Ltd. consolidated its revenue of 47.592 billion yuan from its subsidiary, Nuvoton Technologies and its net profit attributable to parent company of 5.551 billion yuan, reaching 1.54 yuan per share, setting a new high figure in 17 years. Zhan Dongyi, general manager of state power that the current memory, including DRAM, FLASH accounted for half of the proportion of the company's revenue share, as two major growth engines, which will make the company more optimistic about the operation of the company and, because the two products At the same time the market conditions worsened not easy, so the situation in 2018, DRAM, FLASH two major health products market conditions, making Winbond 2018 will be a steady state of growth.
In addition, Zhan Dongyi also stressed that in the market many more applications, including artificial intelligence, mining machines, automotive electronics and other fields, the past DRAM, or FLASH relies PC or smart phone single product growth is over, therefore, While the overall market is still healthy, the company hopes to increase its production capacity to meet the market demand. However, limited by the fact that the plant in Taichung is already full of space at present, its production capacity can only be increased by optimizing its product mix and manufacturing process With a total monthly production capacity of about 46,000 units in 2017 and an estimated 52,000 units in 2018. Among them, DRAM and FLASH's annual production capacity estimates will increase by more than 10%.
As for the part of overall capital expenditure, Winbond Electronics Co., Ltd. will have a capital expenditure of 15.2 billion yuan in 2017 and an increase of 18.5 billion yuan in 2018 in response to the increase of production capacity. In terms of technology development, DRAM parts, Winbond The self-developed 3X nanometer mass-produced shipments will also gradually increase, and will continue to be devoted to the research and development of the 2X nano-fabrication process, while the research and development of 45-nanometer process technology will continue on the FLASH products. Continued development of DRAM and FLASH products, Zhan Dongyi said Winbond will not be defined as pure DRAM manufacturing company in the future.
