MIGDAL HAEMEK, ISRAEL – August 2, 2021 – Tower Semiconductor (NASDAQ: TSEM & TASE: TSEM) reports today its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Highlights
 

Second quarter revenue of $362 million, reflecting record revenue for the company, with year over year 26% organic growth and 17% total growth.

Significant year over year increases in gross profit, operating profit, and net profit.

Expanding the previously announced capacity expansion plan by an additional $100 million, to support continued increases in customers’ demand for highly differentiated 200mm platforms.

Established partnership with ST Microelectronics accelerating the volume ramp-up of the Agrate 300mm factory, tripling Tower’s 300mm capacity.
 
Second Quarter of 2021 Results Overview
 
Revenue for the second quarter of 2021 was $362 million, the highest quarterly revenue in Company’s history, as compared to $310 million in the second quarter of 2020, reflecting 17% year over year growth. Organic revenue for the second quarter of 2021, defined as total revenue excluding revenues from Nuvoton Japan (previously named Panasonic Semiconductor Solutions) and from Maxim in the San Antonio fab, grew by 26% year over year.
 

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2021 was $74 million, 28% higher than $58 million in the second quarter of 2020.
 
Operating profit for the second quarter of 2021 was $34 million, 54% higher than $22 million in the second quarter of 2020.

Agreement with ST Microelectronics accelerating the ramp-up of Agrate 300mm fab to large volumes
In June 2021, Tower and ST Microelectronics announced joining forces to accelerate Agrate 300mm factory ramp-up. Tower and ST will share the cleanroom in Agrate facility, with Tower installing its own equipment in one third of the total space. The transaction will support Tower’s customers’ increasing demand for analog RF, power platforms, displays and other technologies, tripling its 300mm foundry capacity.

Manufacturing Expansion and Capabilities
The Company continues to execute its $150 million capacity expansion plan and is now announcing an additional $100 million investment for further expansion of 200mm differentiated platforms.

Business Outlook
Tower Semiconductor guides revenue for the third quarter of 2021 to be $385 million, with an upward or downward range of 5%. Mid-range revenue guidance represents year over year 24% total growth and 38% organic growth.


Mr. Russell Ellwanger, Chief Executive Officer of Tower Semiconductor, stated: “We are excited with the second quarter 2021 record revenue performance, leading to a third quarter revenue guidance of substantial continued growth, breaking a $1.5 billion annual run rate. We remain confident that we are serving the right customers in the right markets as evidenced by the 38% mid-range year over year organic revenue growth guidance.”
 
Ellwanger added, “We are effectively executing our expansion plans, and hence expect continued fourth quarter 2021 growth in both top and bottom lines. Our announced partnership with ST Microelectronics at the Agrate, Italy 300mm factory, will significantly enhance our 300mm capabilities, in order to further boost our leading position in advanced 300mm based analog RF, power platforms, displays and other technologies.”
