However, GET noted that it expected wafer prices could vary mildly in the second quarter of 2016, due to seasonality and policy reasons. The company still plans to expand outsourcing of wafer capacity from partners to increase shipments in 2016.
First quarter 2016 sales were around NT$5,269 million (US$163 million), compared to US$124.6 million in the first quarter of 2015, around a 31% increase year-on-year.
