the dual strategy for product value optimization

For 3Q, AUO's large-sized panels exceeded 28.67 million units, down 3.2% quarter-over-quarter but up 7.4% year-over-year. Shipments of small- and medium-sized panels reached around 55.59 million units, up 0.3% quarter-over-quarter but down 14.2% year-over-year. For the first nine months of 2010, led high bay large-sized panels totaled about 85.52 million units and small- and medium-sized panels topped 168 million units.

A leader of AUO noted, thanks to the dual strategy for product value optimization and product portfolio adjustments, AUO average selling price per square meter dropped by merely 6.5% from 2Q. The company could remain operating margin positive for 3Q, and continued to sustain comparative advantage in terms of EBITDA margin. Meanwhile, UFO adjusted its capacity utilization rates, and its inventory turnover days improved from 43 days last quarter to 40 days at the end of 3Q.

Look into 4Q, AUO would continuously adjust its capacity utilization rates based on market demands. They expected continuously provide high value-added products and innovative R&D and technology to enhance their led high bay light capacity values, strengthen the long-term customer relations, and achieve better synergies in the alliances with customers.
