STATS ChipPAC Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2006 Results

Revenue at Record Level of $1.6 Billion; Revenue Grew 40% Year-Over-Year; Net Income at Record High of $76.8 Million


UNITED STATES -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 24, 2007 -- SINGAPORE -- 1/25/2007 -- STATS ChipPAC Ltd. ("STATS ChipPAC" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: STTS) (SGX-ST: STATSChP), a leading independent semiconductor test and advanced packaging service provider, today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year 2006.

Tan Lay Koon, President and Chief Executive Officer of STATS ChipPAC said, "The fourth quarter concluded a record year for our company. We achieved the highest revenue and profits in the history of our company. We also generated free cash flow and significantly improved our capital efficiency. Our capital expenditures in 2006 were $348.5 million or 21.6% of revenue, compared to $277.7 million or 24.0% of revenue in 2005, which supported nearly 40% revenue growth in 2006.

We believe our financial performance over the last two years validates the resiliency of our post-merger business model. With a broader and more diversified customer base and end markets exposure, more comprehensive service offerings, enhanced leadership in technology and a global manufacturing footprint, we are better positioned to deliver more stable operational and financial performance through the semiconductor industry cycles."

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2006 increased 16.4% to $416.0 million, compared to $357.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. This represents a sequential increase of 4.8% compared to the third quarter of 2006. On a US GAAP basis, net income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $28.3 million or $0.13 per diluted ADS, compared to net income of $16.9 million or $0.08 per diluted ADS in the fourth quarter of 2005. US GAAP results for the fourth quarter of 2006 and 2005 include $8.2 million and $13.9 million in special items and costs associated with the merger of STATS and ChipPAC, respectively. Excluding the special items and including certain adjustments, non-GAAP adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $36.5 million or $0.17 per diluted ADS, compared to a non-GAAP adjusted net income of $30.8 million or $0.15 per diluted ADS in the fourth quarter of 2005. Results for the fourth quarter of 2006 include $3.0 million in share-based compensation expense as required under SFAS 123(R).

Revenue for the full year 2006 increased 39.7% to $1.6 billion, compared to $1.2 billion in 2005. On a US GAAP basis, net income for the full year 2006 was $76.8 million or $0.37 per diluted ADS, compared to a net loss of $(26.3) million or a net loss of $(0.13) per diluted ADS in 2005. US GAAP results for the full year 2006 and 2005 include $48.8 million and $59.6 million in special items and costs associated with the merger of STATS and ChipPAC, respectively. Excluding the special items and including certain adjustments, non-GAAP adjusted net income for the full year 2006 was $125.6 million or $0.59 per diluted ADS, compared to a non-GAAP adjusted net income of $33.3 million or $0.17 per diluted ADS in 2005. Results for the full year 2006 include $13.7 million in share-based compensation expense as required under SFAS 123(R).

Michael G. Potter, Chief Financial Officer of STATS ChipPAC said, "We further established STATS ChipPAC as a leader in our industry and significantly improved our financial metrics. In the fourth quarter alone, we achieved positive free cash flow, reduced our debt and improved our balance sheet. We maintained a disciplined approach to capital expenditures spending during this period, while fully supporting our customers globally. We will remain focused on taking additional costs out of all parts of our business and further improving customer service. We expect to be able to continue funding capital expenditures from the cash we generate from our business and without increasing our debt level. For the full year 2007, we expect capital expenditures to be approximately $250 million, depending on business conditions."

Outlook

Tan Lay Koon, commented, "Industry sources currently expect the overall semiconductor industry to grow about 7% in 2007. Historically, we have outpaced the growth of the semiconductor industry and we believe we are well positioned to benefit from the growing outsourcing trend and from our strategic positioning in the higher growth communication, computing and consumer markets. In 2007, we will continue to focus on margin expansion and return on invested capital, and further improve our capital efficiency and cash flow generation.

As for the first quarter of 2007, our current customer forecasts reflect the seasonal slowdown in the semiconductor industry and their general caution. Specifically, we currently expect revenue in the first quarter of 2007 to be approximately in the range of $374.0 million to $391.0 million or in the range of 6% to 10% lower than the fourth quarter of 2006, with US GAAP net income in the range of $12.0 million to $21.0 million, which represents US GAAP net income per diluted ADS of $0.06 to $0.10, including the impact of approximately $0.02 per ADS for the expensing of share-based compensation."

                        Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss)

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented on
a GAAP basis, STATS ChipPAC uses a non-GAAP conforming measure of net
income (loss), that is GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude certain
costs, expenses or gains, referred to as special items.  Non-GAAP adjusted
net income (loss) measure gives an indication of our baseline performance
before other charges that are considered by management to be outside of our
core operating results.  In addition, our non-GAAP adjusted measure of net
income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share/ADS are among the
primary indicators management use for the following purposes:

--  As a basis for our planning and forecasting future periods;
--  Managing and benchmarking performance internally across our business
    and externally against our peers;
--  Determining a portion of bonus compensation for executive officers and
    certain other key employees;
--  Calculating return on investment for development programs and growth
    initiatives;
--  Comparing performance with internal forecasts and targeted business
    models; and
--  Evaluating and valuing potential acquisition candidates.

We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in enabling them
to perform additional analyses of past, present and future operating
performance and as a supplemental means to evaluate our core operating
results.  The presentation of this additional information should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States of America.

Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to present the Company's operating
results, excluding special items. The special items excluded for the three
and twelve months ended December 25, 2005 and December 31, 2006 were:

(1) We incurred direct merger and integration expenses in both our cost of
revenues and operating expenses in the three and twelve months ended
December 25, 2005 and December 31, 2006.  These legal, professional and
other expenses including retention programs are temporary in nature and
relate to the merger and not our ongoing business.

(2) In order to more closely align expenses with revenues, the Company
reduced headcount by 88 employees in the Singapore and the United States
facilities in the three months ended March 27, 2005 and by 556 employees in
Singapore during the three months ended September 24, 2006.  This reduction
of headcount resulted in a charge of $0.8M and $1.9M for severance payments
in the three months ended March 27, 2005 and September 24, 2006,
respectively.

(3) As part of the purchase accounting for the merger, certain intangible
assets, including customer relationships and intellectual property, were
either created or revalued.  The increased amortization due to these assets
was excluded as it is a non-cash charge and arose solely because of
purchase accounting.  In addition, due to purchase accounting, the net book
value of ChipPAC's fixed assets was reduced. This resulted in depreciation
being approximately $1.7M and $6.4M lower in the three and twelve months
ended December 31, 2006 and $1.5M and $7.6M lower in the three and twelve
months ended December 25, 2005 than it would have been without the
revaluation due to purchase accounting.  As this is ongoing and a
reflection of the assets value used in production, no adjustment was made
for this item.

(4) As a result of the repurchase of $26.1M and the redemption of the put
of $125.9M of our 1.75% convertible notes due 2007, we incurred write-off
charges on our capitalized debt issuance costs in the three months ended
March 27, 2005. In the three months ended December 31, 2006, we incurred
write-off charges on our capitalized debt issuance costs resulting from
repurchase of the entire $50.0M of our 8.0% convertible notes due 2011.

(5) Adjustment to original purchase price to benefit acquired tax
attributes based on increased taxable income during three and twelve months
ended December 25, 2005 and December 31, 2006 due to foreign operating
income results, resulting in the release of ChipPAC acquisition date
valuation allowances, and including currency fluctuations.
