"ASE's continued execution to expand operations and deliver growth led to 5% year-on-year revenue improvement in 2012, again setting a new record for the Company," stated ASE Group Chairman and CEO, Jason Chang.  "Our steadfast commitment to shareholders, customers, partners, and employees alike, provides the strong foundation on which we build our business, particularly as we embrace this era of mobile communications and optimize our business activities accordingly."

Chang added, "The macroeconomic climate and the cyclic nature of our industry will always impact our bottom line, however, our global strategy – expanding regional capabilities, manufacturing capacity, and product portfolio, to penetrate new markets and help drive our customers' businesses – is proving the right long-term strategy for our ongoing success.  Clearly, semiconductor is at the center of huge technology transitions worldwide, and ASE is evolving in alignment with the opportunities such transitions present."
