NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)



1.    Interim Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation. The Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures as of June 30, 2013 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, are unaudited, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The December 31, 2012, Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In our opinion, these financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed on Form 10-K with the SEC on March 8, 2013. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “Amkor,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “company” are to Amkor Technology, Inc. and our subsidiaries.

Use of Estimates. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, using management’s best estimates and judgments where appropriate. These estimates and judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates and judgments.

2.    New Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Standards

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. ASU 2013-02 does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. ASU 2013-02 was adopted on January 1, 2013 and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

Recently Issued Standards

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date (Topic 405). ASU 2013-04 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance in ASU 2013-04 also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. ASU 2013-04 is not expected to have a significant effect on our financial statements.

AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unaudited)


In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (Topic 830). ASU 2013-05 provides guidance to resolve the diversity in practice regarding the release into net income of the cumulative translation adjustment when a company sells or ceases to hold a controlling interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. ASU 2013-05 may affect our financial statements to the extent we sell or cease to hold a controlling interest in subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (Topic 740). ASU 2013-11 requires that unrecognized tax benefits be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except in certain circumstances. When those circumstances exist, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This ASU is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2013-11 is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statement presentation.

Total unrecognized compensation expense from stock options, net of a forfeiture estimate, was approximately $2.3 million as of June 30, 2013, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.5 years beginning July 1, 2013. To the extent the actual forfeiture rate is different than what we have anticipated, share-based compensation expense related to these options will be different from our expectations.

The fair value of shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2013, was $0.5 million.

Unrecognized compensation cost, net of a forfeiture estimate, was $5.5 million as of June 30, 2013, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.3 years beginning July 1, 2013. To the extent that the actual forfeiture rate is different than what we have anticipated, the share-based compensation expense related to these awards will be different from our expectations.

4.    Income Taxes

Our income tax benefit of $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily reflects $9.6 million of expense related to income taxes at certain of our foreign operations and foreign withholding taxes incurred by both our U.S. and foreign operations offset by a $9.2 million benefit for the reversal of a deferred tax liability associated with the undistributed earnings from our investment in J-Devices Corporation (“J-Devices”) and by a $6.6 million release of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets at one of our foreign jurisdictions. Our income tax expense also reflects income taxed in foreign jurisdictions where we benefit from tax holidays. At June 30, 2013, we had U.S. net operating loss carryforwards totaling $336.9 million, which expire at various times through 2031. Additionally, at June 30, 2013, we had $90.5 million of non-U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, which expire at various times through 2023.

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we recognized an $8.6 million tax benefit from the reversal of a deferred tax liability as a result of a change in the ownership structure of our investment in J-Devices. We also recognized a $0.6 million tax benefit as a result of revaluing the deferred tax liability associated with our investment in J-Devices during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

We maintain a valuation allowance on all of our U.S. net deferred tax assets, including our net operating loss carryforwards. We also have valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions. Such valuation allowances are released as the related tax benefits are realized or when sufficient net positive evidence exists to conclude it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we concluded that sufficient net positive evidence existed to release the valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets at one of our foreign jurisdictions. The recent trend of improving taxable operating results in this jurisdiction continued in the three months ended June 30, 2013, and we now believe this recent history of earnings is sustainable and sufficient to fully realize the deferred tax assets in this jurisdiction. We had $10.6 million of net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2013, in this jurisdiction, $4.0 million of which we estimate will be realized in the current year and $6.6 million we estimate will be realized after December 31, 2013. The release of the valuation allowance related to this $6.6 million net deferred tax asset is included as a discrete tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Our gross unrecognized tax benefits increased from $8.2 million at December 31, 2012, to $9.4 million as of June 30, 2013, primarily because of a $2.5 million addition related to the application of a law change in a foreign jurisdiction. This addition was partially offset by $1.3 million of net reductions related to the settlement of contested prior year deductions in a foreign jurisdiction. At June 30, 2013, all of our unrecognized tax benefits would reduce our effective tax rate, if recognized. Our unrecognized tax benefits are subject to change as examinations of tax years are completed. Tax return examinations involve uncertainties, and there can be no assurances that the outcome of examinations will be favorable.

5.    Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to Amkor common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding includes restricted shares held by retirement eligible recipients and is reduced for treasury stock. Unvested share-based compensation awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. We grant restricted shares which entitle recipients to voting and nonforfeitable dividend rights from the date of grant. As a result, we have applied the two-class method to determine EPS.

Diluted EPS is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, unvested restricted shares and convertible debt. The following table summarizes the computation of basic and diluted EPS:

J-Devices Corporation

In October 2009, Amkor and Toshiba Corporation (“Toshiba”) invested in Nakaya Microdevices Corporation (“NMD”) and formed a joint venture to provide semiconductor packaging and test services in Japan. As a result of the transaction, NMD changed its name to J-Devices Corporation. In April 2013, we completed the exercise of our option to increase our ownership


- 14-


Table of Contents

AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unaudited)


interest in J-Devices from 30% to 60% for an aggregate purchase price of ¥6.7 billion ($67.4 million). J-Devices is now owned 60% by Amkor, 34% by the former shareholders of NMD and 6% by Toshiba.

At June 30, 2013, our investment includes our 60% equity interest and options to acquire additional equity interests. The options are exercisable at our discretion and permit us to increase our ownership interest in J-Devices up to 66% in 2014 by purchasing shares owned by Toshiba and up to 80% in 2015 by purchasing shares owned by the other shareholders. In 2014 and beyond, Toshiba has the option, at its discretion, to sell shares it owns to us. If we decline Toshiba's offer to sell their shares to us, then J-Devices shall have the obligation to purchase the shares. If J-Devices fails to purchase the shares offered by Toshiba, then we will be obligated to purchase the shares offered by Toshiba. The options in 2014 and 2015 become exercisable in the fourth quarter of such year, and if exercised, we would expect closing to occur in the first half of the following year, subject to regulatory approval. After we own 80% or more shares, the original shareholders of NMD have a put option which allows them to sell their shares to us. The exercise price for all options is payable in cash and is determined using a formula based upon the net book value and a multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of J-Devices.

J-Devices is a separate business and is not integrated with our Japan-based businesses. The governance provisions currently applicable to J-Devices restrict our ability, even with our majority ownership, to cause J-Devices to take certain actions without the consent of the other investors. Accordingly, we account for our investment in J-Devices using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, we recognize our proportionate share of J-Devices' net income or loss, which is after J-Devices' income taxes in Japan, during each accounting period as a change in our investment in unconsolidated affiliate. In addition, we record equity method adjustments as a change in our investment in unconsolidated affiliate. Because our incremental proportionate share of J-Devices' equity exceeded the cost of our additional investment, these adjustments include the amortization of a $5.1 million basis difference. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, our equity in earnings in J-Devices, net of J-Devices' income taxes in Japan, was $1.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, our equity in earnings in J-Devices, net of J-Devices' income taxes in Japan, was $0.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

In conjunction with entering into the joint venture, one of our subsidiaries in Japan purchased packaging and test equipment from Toshiba and leased the equipment to J-Devices under an agreement which was accounted for as a direct financing lease. At the end of the lease in October 2012, J-Devices exercised an option to purchase the remaining packaging and test equipment for ¥761.4 million. In January 2013, we received payment of ¥761.4 million (approximately $8.8 million) for the purchased equipment.

Interest is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, and commenced April 1, 2013. In May 2013, we issued an additional $225.0 million of 6.375% Senior Notes due October 2022 (the “Additional 2022 Notes”) under the same terms as the 2022 Notes. The Additional 2022 Notes were issued at a premium of 103% or $6.8 million. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Additional 2022 Notes were designated for general corporate purposes. We incurred $3.4 million of debt issuance costs associated with the Additional 2022 Notes.

In April 2009, we issued $250 million of our 6.0% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due April 2014 (the “2014 Notes”). The 2014 Notes are convertible at any time prior to the maturity date into our common stock at a price of approximately $3.02 per share, subject to adjustment. The 2014 Notes are subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of our senior debt. The 2014 Notes were purchased by certain qualified institutional buyers and an entity controlled by Mr. James J. Kim, our Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Kim's affiliate

purchased $150.0 million of the 2014 Notes. In June 2013, we completed a tender offer for the 2014 Notes and exchanged $193.7 million of the 2014 Notes, including the $150.0 million held by Mr. Kim's affiliate, for an aggregate 64.0 million shares of our common stock and a cash payment of $11.6 million. The cash payment was equivalent to the remaining coupons for the tendered notes and was recorded as a charge in our Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

In June 2012, Amkor Technology Korea, Inc., a Korean subsidiary (“ATK”) entered into a $41.0 million revolving credit facility with a Korean Bank with a term of 12 months. Principal is payable upon maturity and interest is paid monthly. The loan is collateralized with substantially all the land, factories and equipment at our ATK facilities. In June 2013, the facility was amended by extending the term by three years to June 2016. The facility now bears interest at the foreign currency funding-linked base rate plus 2.00% (3.97% as of June 30, 2013). As of June 30, 2013, $41.0 million was available to be borrowed for general working capital purposes.
(4)
In April 2013, ATK entered into a loan agreement with a Korean bank pursuant to which ATK may borrow up to $150.0 million for a term of three years. The loan is collateralized by substantially all the land, factories and equipment located at our ATK facilities. Principal is payable at maturity. Interest is due quarterly beginning three months after the first draw down date. Interest is payable at a rate of LIBOR plus 3.80% (4.07% as of June 30, 2013). As of June 30, 2013, $140.0 million was available to be borrowed for general working capital purposes and the repayment of inter-company debt.
(5)
In March 2013, ATK entered into a loan agreement with a Korean bank pursuant to which ATK may borrow up to $150.0 million for a term of four and a half years. The loan is collateralized by substantially all the land, factories and equipment located at our ATK facilities. Principal is payable in quarterly installments of $5.0 million each starting in December 2014, with the remaining balance due at maturity. Interest is paid quarterly, at a foreign currency funding-linked base rate plus 1.75% (3.85% as of June 30, 2013). As of June 30, 2013, $140.0 million was available to be borrowed for capital expenditures.
(6)
In November 2012, ATK entered into a loan agreement with a Korean Bank pursuant to which ATK may borrow up to $100.0 million by November 2013 for a term of seven years. The loan is collateralized by substantially all the land, factories and equipment located at our ATK facilities. Principal is payable upon maturity. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears, at LIBOR plus 3.70% (3.98% as of June 30, 2013). As of June 30, 2013, $52.0 million was available to be borrowed for capital expenditures.
(7)
In September 2012, Amkor Technology Taiwan Ltd, a subsidiary in Taiwan, entered into a revolving credit facility. The credit facility bears interest at the Taipei Foreign Exchange ("TAIFX") six month U.S. dollar rate plus a bank-determined spread. Availability under the revolving credit facility was originally $44.0 million and subsequent availability steps down $5.0 million every six months from the original available balance. Principal is payable at maturity. As of June 30, 2013, $34.0 million was available to be drawn for general corporate purposes and capital expenditures.
The debt of Amkor Technology, Inc. is structurally subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. Our collateralized bank debt agreements and the indentures governing our senior and senior subordinated notes contain a number of affirmative and negative covenants which could restrict our operations. We were in compliance with all of our covenants as of June 30, 2013.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we recognized net curtailment and settlement losses of $1.0 million, resulting from the remeasurement of our defined benefit plan in Japan due to reductions in workforce (Note 18).

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we contributed $0.1 million and $0.2 million to the defined benefit pension plans, respectively. We expect to contribute approximately $2.1 million to the pension plans during the remainder of 2013. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we contributed $0.1 million and $0.2 million to the defined benefit pension plans, respectively.

Korean Severance Plan

Our subsidiary in Korea participates in an accrued severance plan that covers employees with at least one year of service. To the extent eligible employees are terminated, our subsidiary in Korea would be required to make lump-sum severance payments on behalf of these eligible employees based on their length of service, seniority and rate of pay at the time of termination. Accrued severance benefits are estimated assuming all eligible employees were to terminate their employment at the balance sheet date. Our contributions to the National Pension Plan of the Republic of Korea are deducted from accrued severance benefit liabilities.

14.    Treasury Stock

Stock Repurchase Program

Our Board of Directors previously authorized the repurchase of up to $300.0 million of our common stock, exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses. The purchase of stock under the program may be made in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. Since inception of the program, we have purchased a total of 45.0 million shares at an aggregate purchase price of $208.4 million, net of $0.9 million of commissions. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by us at our discretion and will depend upon a variety of factors including economic and market conditions, the cash needs and investment opportunities for the business, price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. Our stock repurchase program has been and is expected to be funded with available cash and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we made no purchases under the stock repurchase program. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we purchased 7.1 million and 8.1 million shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $33.2 million and $37.7 million, respectively, net of $0.1 million and $0.2 million of commissions, respectively, for an average price of $4.66 and $4.65, respectively. At June 30, 2013, there were no unsettled shares, and there was approximately $91.6 million available to repurchase common stock pursuant to the stock repurchase program.

15.    Fair Value Measurements

The accounting framework for determining fair value includes a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to measure fair value, which enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of three tiers as follows: Level 1, defined as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2, defined as inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

Our assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include cash equivalent money market funds, restricted cash money market funds and foreign currency forward contracts. Cash equivalent money market funds and restricted cash money market funds are invested in U.S. money market funds and various U.S. and foreign bank operating and time deposit accounts, which are due on demand or carry a maturity date of less than three months when purchased. No restrictions have been imposed on us regarding withdrawal of balances with respect to our cash equivalents as a result of liquidity or other credit market issues affecting the money market funds we invest in or the counterparty financial institutions holding our deposits. Money market funds are valued using quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets.

Our forward contracts are not traded on an exchange and are therefore valued using conventional calculations or models that are primarily based on observable inputs such as foreign currency exchange rates. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we entered into foreign currency forward contracts to serve as an economic hedge for the payments related to the agreement to purchase land in Korea (see Note 8). The forward contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting

(Unaudited)


purposes and changes in the fair value of these forward contracts are recorded immediately in earnings in foreign currency loss, net in our Consolidated Statements of Income. As of June 30, 2013, the total notional value was $88.7 million. The fair value of the forward contracts at June 30, 2013, results in a liability of $3.8 million and is recorded in accrued expenses in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We also measure certain assets and liabilities, including property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and an equity investment, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, such measurements included the consideration of third party valuation reports based on a combination of market and cost approach valuation techniques. The valuation reports contained various inputs including semiconductor industry data, replacement costs, price lists and general information regarding the assets being evaluated. Nonrecurring fair value measurements related to property, plant and equipment impairments reflect the fair value of the assets at the dates the impairments were taken during the period.

The estimated fair value of the debt is based primarily on quoted market prices reported on or near the respective balance sheet dates for our senior and senior subordinated notes. The estimated fair value for the debt of our subsidiaries was calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis, which utilized market based assumptions including bond and credit default swap indices and was adjusted for credit risk.

16.    Commitments and Contingencies

We have a letter of credit sub-facility of $25.0 million under our $150.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility that matures in June 2017. As of June 30, 2013, we had $0.3 million of standby letters of credit outstanding and had an additional $24.7 million available for letters of credit. Such standby letters of credit are used in the ordinary course of our business and are collateralized by our cash balances.

We generally warrant that our services will be performed in a professional and workmanlike manner and in compliance with our customers' specifications. We accrue costs for known warranty issues. Historically, our warranty costs have been immaterial.

Legal Proceedings

We are involved in claims and legal proceedings and may become involved in other legal matters arising in the ordinary course of our business. We evaluate these claims and legal matters on a case-by-case basis to make a determination as to the impact, if any, on our business, liquidity, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Except as indicated below, we believe that the ultimate outcome of these claims and proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact to us. Our evaluation of the potential impact of these claims and legal proceedings on our business, liquidity, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows could change in the future.

In accordance with the accounting guidance for loss contingencies, including legal proceedings, lawsuits, pending claims and other legal matters, we accrue for a loss contingency when we conclude that the likelihood of a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. When the reasonable estimate of the loss is within a range of amounts, and no amount in the range constitutes a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue for the amount at the low end of the range. We adjust our accruals from time to time as we receive additional information, but the loss we incur may be significantly greater than or less than the amount we have accrued. We disclose loss contingencies if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss has been incurred. Attorney fees related to legal matters are expensed as incurred.

Arbitration Proceedings with Tessera, Inc.

On March 2, 2006, Tessera, Inc. (“Tessera”) filed a request for arbitration with the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”), captioned Tessera, Inc. v. Amkor Technology, Inc. (the "First Tessera Arbitration"). The subject matter of the arbitration was a license agreement (“License Agreement”) entered into between Tessera and our predecessor in 1996. In its rulings in 2008 and 2009, the arbitration panel in the First Tessera Arbitration found that most of the packages accused by Tessera were not subject to the patent royalty provisions of the License Agreement, awarded Tessera $60.6 million as damages for some infringing packages for the period March 2, 2002, through December 1, 2008, and denied Tessera's request to terminate the License Agreement. The final award, plus interest and the royalties through December 2008 amounting to $64.7 million, was expensed in 2008 and paid when due in February 2009.

Following Tessera's favorable decision in the U.S International Trade Commission (the “ITC”) in May 2009 against some of our customers, Tessera began making repeated statements to customers and others claiming that we were in breach of the royalty provisions of the License Agreement. We informed Tessera that we believed we were in full compliance with the License Agreement and of our intent to continue making the royalty payments when due in accordance with the terms of the License Agreement.

On August 7, 2009, we filed a request for arbitration in the ICC against Tessera, captioned Amkor Technology, Inc. v. Tessera, Inc. (the “Second Tessera Arbitration”). We instituted the action in order to obtain declaratory relief confirming that we were a licensee in good standing under our 1996 License Agreement with Tessera and that the License Agreement remained in effect.

On November 2, 2009, Tessera filed an answer to our request for arbitration and counterclaims in the ICC. In the answer and counterclaims, Tessera denied Amkor's claims, alleged breach of contract, sought termination of the License Agreement and asserted that Amkor owed Tessera additional royalties under the License Agreement, including royalties for use of thirteen U.S. and six foreign patents that Tessera did not assert in the First Tessera Arbitration. Tessera later dropped its claims on five of those patents. On February 17, 2011, Tessera sent Amkor a notice of termination of the License Agreement.

In May 2011, Tessera filed a new request for arbitration against Amkor with the ICC captioned Tessera, Inc. v. Amkor Technology, Inc. (the "Third Tessera Arbitration") seeking undisclosed damages and a declaration that the License Agreement had been terminated.

In July 2011, the panel issued its decision in the first phase of the Second Tessera Arbitration. The panel found that we did not owe any of the approximately $18 million of additional royalties claimed by Tessera for packages assembled by us for customers who had been involved in proceedings with Tessera before the ITC. Our request for a declaration confirming that we were in compliance with the License Agreement and that our royalty calculations from the First Tessera Arbitration were correct was denied. The panel found that we had materially breached the License Agreement by not paying the full amount of royalties due and by failing to satisfy the audit provisions of the License Agreement. The final amount of royalties and interest owed relating to the first phase of the Second Tessera Arbitration was approximately $0.5 million, which has been fully paid.

In July 2012, the panel issued an interim order in the second phase of the Second Tessera Arbitration finding that royalties are due to Tessera on three of the ten asserted U.S. patents remaining at issue but not on the other seven, royalties are due on four foreign patents related to U.S. patents that the panel found to be royalty bearing in the First Tessera Arbitration and that the License Agreement was terminated by Tessera as of February 17, 2011. We do not believe the termination of the License Agreement will interfere in any significant way with our ability to use our technology, conduct our business or service our customers. The panel also raised the question of whether Tessera intends to pursue its allegations regarding other patents which have not yet been addressed by the panel, and in July 2012, Tessera informed the panel that it intends to proceed on its claims related to three additional U.S. patents.

In February 2013, the panel issued another interim order in the second phase of the Second Tessera Arbitration. In the latest ruling, the panel determined that flip chip only packages and pin grid array only packages are not royalty bearing but that certain other packages, principally certain wirebond and combination flip chip wirebond packages are royalty bearing. The panel reserved for later decision the issues of the amount of royalties and pre-judgment interest due, and the allocation of costs. In February 2013, Tessera publicly announced its intention to seek an amount in excess of $150 million in the arbitration.

As a result of the interim orders issued by the panel, we recorded a charge in 2012 of $56.0 million based on our estimates of the damages and interest due to date in respect of the Second Tessera Arbitration. We believe that $56.0 million of damages and interest is a reasonable estimate of the low end of the possible range of loss up to the amount claimed by Tessera. Because we believe that no amount in the range constitutes a better estimate than any other amount, we recorded the $56.0 million estimate. Of the total charge, $50.0 million was recorded as cost of goods sold and $6.0 million was recorded as interest expense. The ultimate amount of damages and interest is subject to determination by the panel based on a number of complex factors, including the panel's determination of which package families the patents apply to, whether those packages meet criteria previously laid out by the panel, overlaps among the packages, the final date through which royalties are applicable and other factors. The final award could be more than the amount recognized, and we expect to record our estimate of interest accruing with the passage of time and may record additional charges as information develops or upon the issuance of the final award.

In August 2012, we paid $19.9 million to Tessera representing the undisputed amount and related interest that we owe in connection with the Second Tessera Arbitration.

In July 2012, Tessera filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint seeks injunctive relief and damages with respect to Amkor's alleged infringement of one of the U.S. patents that the panel found to be royalty bearing in the Second Tessera Arbitration. We strongly dispute Tessera's claims and intend to vigorously defend against them. However, the outcome of this matter is uncertain, and an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Amkor Technology, Inc. v. Carsem (M) Sdn Bhd, Carsem Semiconductor Sdn Bhd, and Carsem Inc.

On November 17, 2003, we filed a complaint against Carsem (M) Sdn Bhd, Carsem Semiconductor Sdn Bhd, and Carsem Inc. (collectively “Carsem”) with the ITC in Washington, D.C., alleging infringement of our United States Patent Nos. 6,433,277; 6,455,356 and 6,630,728 (collectively the “Amkor Patents”) and seeking, under Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, an exclusion order barring the importation by Carsem of infringing products. We allege that by making, using, selling, offering for sale or importing into the U.S. the Carsem Dual and Quad Flat No-Lead Packages, Carsem has infringed on one or more of our MicroLeadFrame packaging technology claims in the Amkor Patents.

On November 18, 2003, we also filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging infringement of the Amkor Patents and seeking an injunction enjoining Carsem from further infringing the Amkor Patents, compensatory damages and treble damages due to willful infringement plus interest, costs and attorney's fees. This District Court action has been stayed pending resolution of the ITC case.

The ITC Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) conducted an evidentiary hearing during July and August of 2004 in Washington D.C. and, on November 18, 2004, issued an Initial Determination that Carsem infringed some of our patent claims relating to our MicroLeadFrame package technology, that some of our 21 asserted patent claims are valid, that we have a domestic industry in our patents and that all of our asserted patent claims are enforceable. However, the ALJ did not find a statutory violation of Section 337 of the Tariff Act.

We filed a petition in November 2004 to have the ALJ's ruling reviewed by the full ITC. On March 31, 2005, the ITC ordered a new claims construction related to various disputed claim terms and remanded the case to the ALJ for further proceedings. On November 9, 2005, the ALJ issued an Initial Determination on remand finding that Carsem infringed some of our patent claims and that Carsem had violated Section 337 of the Tariff Act.

On remand, the ITC had also authorized the ALJ to reopen the record on certain discovery issues related to a subpoena of documents from a third party. An order by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia enforcing the subpoena became final on January 9, 2009, and the third party produced documents pursuant to the subpoena.

On July 1, 2009, the ITC remanded the investigation for a second time to the ALJ to reopen the record to admit into evidence documents and related discovery obtained from the enforcement of the above-referenced third-party subpoena.

Following a two-day hearing, on October 30, 2009, the ALJ issued an Initial Determination reaffirming his prior ruling that the Carsem Dual and Quad Flat No-Lead Packages infringe some of Amkor's patent claims relating to MicroLeadFrame package technology, that all of Amkor's asserted patent claims are valid and that Carsem violated Section 337 of the Tariff Act.

On December 16, 2009, the ITC ordered a review of the ALJ's Initial Determination. On February 18, 2010, the Commission reversed a finding by the ALJ on the issue of whether a certain invention constitutes prior art to Amkor's asserted patents. The ITC remanded the investigation to the ALJ to make further findings in light of the ITC's ruling. On March 22, 2010, the ALJ issued a Supplemental Initial Determination. Although the ALJ's ruling did not disturb the prior finding that certain Carsem Dual and Quad Flat No-Lead Packages infringe some patent claims of Amkor's U.S. Patent No. 6,433,277 (the "277 Patent"), the ALJ found that these infringed claims are invalid and, as a result, the ALJ did not find a statutory violation of the Tariff Act. On July 20, 2010, the ITC issued a Notice of Commission Final Determination, in which the ITC determined


- 23-


Table of Contents

AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unaudited)


that there is no violation of Section 337 of the Tariff Act and terminated the investigation. We appealed the ITC's ruling of invalidity for the claims of the 277 Patent to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the "Federal Circuit"), and oral arguments were heard in November 2011.

On August 22, 2012, the Federal Circuit issued a favorable ruling in Amkor's appeal in its patent infringement case against Carsem before the ITC. In its ruling, the Federal Circuit reversed the ITC's determination of invalidity on the 277 Patent, and remanded the matter to the ITC for further proceedings consistent with its opinion. On October 5, 2012, Carsem filed a Petition for Rehearing requesting the Federal Circuit to vacate its decision and affirm the ITC's determination of no violation of Section 337 of the Tariff Act. The Federal Circuit denied Carsem's petition on December 7, 2012, and remanded the matter to the ITC for further action consistent with its August 22, 2012 ruling.

In September 2012, Carsem, Inc. filed requests for Inter Partes Reexamination of the 277 Patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“Patent Office”). In December 2012, the Patent Office granted the requests for Reexamination. On January 10, 2012, the Patent Office issued an Office Action rejecting all of the 277 Patent claims over certain prior art references. Amkor believes that all of the 277 Patent claims are valid and filed a response to the Office Action in March 2013.

17.    Business Segments

We have two reportable segments, packaging and test. Packaging and test are integral steps in the process of manufacturing semiconductor devices, and our customers may engage with us for both packaging and test services, or for packaging or test services individually. We have concluded that our packaging and test services constitute a group of similar services within each reportable segment.

The accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as those for our Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole. We evaluate our operating segments based on gross profit and gross property, plant and equipment. We do not specifically identify and allocate total assets by operating segment. Summarized financial information concerning reportable segments is shown in the following table. The “other” column includes corporate adjustments, gross property, plant and equipment of our corporate and sales offices and capital additions that do not directly support manufacturing operations, such as research and development and infrastructure projects.

19.    Subsequent Event

On July 31, 2013, we completed the purchase of 100% of the shares of Toshiba Electronics Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (“TEM”), Toshiba’s power discrete semiconductor packaging and test operation in Malaysia. The total price for the shares was approximately $60 million, based on the estimated net asset value of TEM at closing. The price for the shares is subject to adjustment to the extent the actual net asset value of TEM at closing was more or less than the estimate. We paid $43 million at closing and are obligated to pay the remaining $17 million by March 31, 2014. In connection with the purchase of TEM, we were also granted a non-exclusive, royalty bearing license by Toshiba to certain intellectual property rights for providing packaging and test services for power discrete and certain other semiconductor products, subject to a royalty cap of ¥1.5 billion (approximately $15 million).

Item 2.         Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Amkor is one of the world's leading providers of outsourced semiconductor packaging and test services. Packaging and test are integral steps in the process of manufacturing semiconductor devices. The semiconductor manufacturing process begins with the fabrication of individual transistors, or multiple transistors and other electronic elements combined into an integrated circuit (generally known as a “chip” or “die”), onto semiconductor material such as a silicon wafer. Each chip on the wafer is probe tested. The good chips are identified and the wafer is then separated into individual die. Each good die is then assembled into a package that typically encapsulates the die for protection and creates the electrical connections used to connect the package to a printed circuit board, module or other part of the electronic device. In some packages, chips are attached to a substrate or leadframe carrier through wirebonding or flip chip interconnects and then encased in a protective material. Or, for a wafer-level package, the electrical interconnections are created directly on the surface of the die (while the wafer is still intact) so that the chip may be attached directly to other parts of an electronic device without a substrate or leadframe. The packages are then tested using sophisticated equipment to ensure that each packaged chip meets its design and performance specifications. The test services we offer include probe testing and final testing.

Our packaging services are designed to meet application and chip specific requirements including the type of interconnect technology employed; size; thickness and electrical, mechanical and thermal performance. We are able to provide turnkey packaging and test services including semiconductor wafer bump, wafer probe, wafer backgrind, package design, packaging, test and drop shipment services.

Our business is impacted by market conditions in the semiconductor industry, which is cyclical by nature and impacted by broad economic factors, such as world-wide gross domestic product and consumer spending. Historical trends indicate there has been a strong correlation between world-wide gross domestic product levels, consumer spending and semiconductor industry cycles. The semiconductor industry has experienced significant and sometimes prolonged cyclical downturns in the past. We cannot predict the timing, strength or duration of any economic slowdown or subsequent economic recovery.

Our net sales, gross profit, operating income, cash flows, liquidity and capital resources have historically fluctuated significantly from quarter to quarter as a result of many factors, including the seasonality of our business, the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry and other factors discussed in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report.

Our net sales increased $59.5 million or 8.7% to $746.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $686.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was driven by a $36.1 million or 5.9% increase in packaging net sales as well as a $23.4 million or 30.9% increase in test net sales. The increases in packaging and test net sales were driven by strong demand for flip chip and wafer-level processing and test services supporting mobile communications products and our continued investments in support of this end market. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in net sales of packaging services related to products for the consumer and computing end markets.

Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2013, increased to 18.5% from 13.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was mainly attributable to the $30.0 million charge related to our pending patent license arbitration that was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was also driven by higher net sales of wafer-level processing and test services supporting mobile communications products, partially offset by weakness in demand for products for the consumer and computing end markets.

We operate in a capital intensive industry and have a significant level of debt. Servicing our current and future customers requires that we incur significant operating expenses and continue to make significant capital expenditures, which are generally made in advance of the related revenues and without any firm customer commitments. We fund our operations, including capital expenditures and debt service requirements, with cash flows from operations, existing cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under available credit facilities and proceeds from any additional financing. Maintaining an appropriate level of liquidity is important to our business and depends on, among other things, the performance of our business, our capital expenditure levels and our ability to repay debt out of our operating cash flows or proceeds from debt or equity financings.

Table of Contents


Driven by continued customer demand for services supporting mobile communications products, our capital additions totaled $283.1 million or 19.7% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $273.4 million or 20.4% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2012. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, 60.0% of our capital additions were made in packaging, 28.2% in test and 11.8% in research and development and infrastructure projects. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, 44.2% of our capital additions were made in packaging, 30.8% in test and 25.0% in research and development and infrastructure projects.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $200.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $142.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we experienced negative free cash flow of $21.8 million, primarily due to our capital purchases to support anticipated customer demand for packaging and test services related to mobile communications. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. Free cash flow is not defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), and a reconciliation of free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities is set forth under the caption “Cash Flows” below.

Net Sales. Net sales in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, increased compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, as a result of higher net sales of our packaging and test services.

Packaging Net Sales. The increase in packaging net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily driven by strong demand for flip chip, wafer-level processing and certain wirebond services supporting mobile communications products, such as 28 nanometer chipsets and NAND memory. Our continued investments supporting mobile communications have provided opportunities for growth in this end market. These increases in net sales were partially offset by weakness in demand for products in the consumer end market, including gaming and home electronics, and by a decrease in the computing end market as net sales in the prior year benefitted from incremental demand from customers whose supply chains were disrupted by the flooding in Thailand.

Packaging unit volume increased to 2.7 billion units during the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 2.1 billion units during the three months ended June 30, 2012. Packaging unit volume increased to 5.0 billion units during the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 4.0 billion units during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, was primarily due to an increase in wafer-level processing services for mobile communications.

Test Net Sales. The increase in test net sales in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily attributable to higher demand for test services for mobile communications products and our continued investments in support of this end market as many of our mobile communications customers require turnkey packaging and test solutions.

Our cost of sales consists principally of materials, labor, depreciation and manufacturing overhead. Since a substantial portion of the costs at our factories is fixed, relatively modest increases or decreases in capacity utilization rates can have a significant effect on our gross margin.

Material costs as a percentage of net sales decreased to 41.7% and 42.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, from 43.2% and 44.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease as a percentage of sales was primarily due to increased net sales related to wafer-level processing and test services, which have lower material costs as a percentage of net sales. Material costs in absolute dollars for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, increased compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, as a result of the increased net sales of packaging services.

Labor costs as a percentage of net sales of 14.0% and 14.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, remained consistent with labor costs as a percentage of net sales of 14.4% and 14.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. Labor costs in absolute dollars increased primarily due to increased compensation expense and headcount at certain foreign manufacturing locations along with unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements as substantially all of our manufacturing operations' workforce is paid in local currencies.

Other manufacturing costs as a percentage of net sales decreased to 25.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, from 29.4% and 27.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in other manufacturing costs as a percentage of sales, and in absolute dollars, was attributable to the $30.0 million charge relating to our pending patent license arbitration that was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease was partially offset by increased depreciation expense due to our continued investments in property, plant and equipment to service the demand of our customers.
