"First quarter results were above the high end of our guidance,” said Steve Kelley, Amkor's president and chief executive officer. “We benefited from better than expected performance in Japan and in the high-end Android smartphone market. In addition, our strategic initiatives continued to build momentum with automotive sales of $220 million in the quarter, up 7% sequentially and 6% year-over-year on a combined basis with J-Devices. Our Greater China revenues were also up 21% sequentially. However, overall demand was still relatively low on a historical basis, which led to breakeven financial performance in the quarter."
