Sumco Seen Posting Smaller FY10 Net Loss On Better Wafer Demand

TOKYO (NQN)--Sumco Corp. (3436) said Friday it is likely to see a 20 billion yen group net loss for the year through January 2011.

In the previous year, the maker of silicon wafers for semiconductors logged a 100.4 billion yen loss, its first-ever red ink.

Though the firm's earnings will continue to be eroded by depreciation costs of nonoperating facilities, the red ink will probably shrink on the year, due to improved prices of and larger demand for silicon wafers.

Sales are likely to increase 28% on the year to 280 billion yen.

Sumco anticipates breaking even on an operational basis this fiscal year, after logging an 86.5 billion yen loss last year.

SUMCO offers Ohio wafer fab to solar industry
08 April 2010 | By Mark Osborne | News > Fab and Facilities


Following in the footsteps of Komatsu Group, which successfully sold a redundant semiconductor wafer fab to SolarWorld, SUMCO Phoenix is now offering its wafer fab facility near Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S.A to the solar industry. The 70,000 square foot cleanroom (Class 100) is housed in a 200,000 square foot building on a 100 acre site that can accommodate future growth. ATREG, a division of Colliers International has won the contract to sell the facility on behalf of SUMCO.

"SUMCO's Ohio plant has advanced infrastructure, including exceptional water/sewer capacity and dual-source power supply," stated Doug Barrett, Senior Vice President and Director of ATREG. "We will seek out alternative advanced-technology users, including solar, defense and battery manufacturers, datacenters and others that would benefit from SUMCO's highly advanced infrastructure."

"The well-trained, highly motivated workforce provides potential buyers with a significant head start to quickly and easily come to market," said Mark Dobbins, Senior Vice President of human resources and general affairs for SUMCO.

According to SUMCO, the facility has undergone recent expansion and comprehensive modernization.

Sumco exiting solar wafer market with 1,300 job losses


Sumco had used a proprietary ‘Electromagnetic Casting Method,’ which produced seven-metre long ingots with extremely high purity.

Citing ‘structural’ overcapacity, ‘significant price declines’ and a fall in demand of crystalline silicon wafers, Sumco said it would completely exit the market.
Citing ‘structural’ overcapacity, ‘significant price declines’ and a fall in demand of crystalline silicon wafers, Sumco has decided to completely exit the market. The company expects to incur charges of ¥5 billion, folding both wafer subsidiaries, Sumco Solar Corporation and Minimata Denshi, and noted that it would report a significant operating loss in its fiscal fourth quarter results. Sumco said that wafer prices had declined by 70% from January 2011.

Sumco had guided that solar wafer segment losses in the fourth quarter would be -¥7.2 billion and full-year losses of -¥6 billion.

Sumco is also restructuring and consolidating its semiconductor wafer operations. The reduction in demand for 200mm wafers was cited as one of the reasons for the changes. Sumco said it would close its Ikuno 200mm plant and transfer production to its Imari and Nagasaki facilities. However, the company is also closing its 300mm wafer line at its Nagasaki plant, while a 150mm wafer line at its Imari plant will also close.

In total, Sumco expects to incur charges related to the restructuring charges of approximately -¥58.2 billion, with 1,300 job losses, or 15% of its workforce.
