Issued by: AU Optronics Corp.

Hsinchu, Taiwan, April 22, 2010 –


AU Optronics Corp. ("AUO" or the "Company") (TAIEX: 2409; NYSE: AUO) today announced its unaudited results for the first quarter of 2010(1). For the first quarter ended March 31, 2010, AUO posted consolidated revenue of NT$111,564 million (US$3,516 million) (2), down 2.9% from the previous quarter. Gross profit improved 62.8% quarter-over-quarter to NT$14,270 million (US$450 million), representing a gross margin of 12.8%. Operating income, on the other hand, reached NT$8,129 million (US$256 million), with an impressive quarterly growth rate of 327.9% and an operating margin of 7.3%. Consequently, AUO’s net income came in at NT$7,274 million (US$229 million), attributable to equity holders of the parent company at NT$7,103 million (US$224 million), or basic EPS of NT$0.8 per common share (US$0.25 per ADR) for the first quarter of 2010.

1Q2010 Result Highlights
 
AUO reported the following unaudited consolidated results for the first quarter of 2010:
Ÿ  
Revenue of NT$111,564 million, down 2.9% quarter-over-quarter
Ÿ  
Net income of NT$7,274 million
Ÿ  
Basic EPS of NT$0.8 per common share
Ÿ  
Gross margin of 12.8%
Ÿ  
Operating margin of 7.3%
Ÿ  
EBITDA (3) margin of 27.6%
 
For the first quarter, AUO’s large-sized panels totaled 27.22 million units, down 0.6% quarter-over-quarter but up significantly 107.1% year-over-year. In terms of small- and
 
 
 

 
 
medium-sized panels, the shipment was over 56.99 million units, down 5.2% quarter-over-quarter but up 32.7% year-over-year.

“Although the first quarter was the traditional low season, we have seen relative stable panel prices thanks to recovering global demand and healthy inventory levels in the channel, “ said Mr. Andy Yang, Chief Financial Officer of AUO. “As a result, the Company’s average selling price per square meter dropped by merely 1.6% from the previous quarter. In addition, the management team has taken a proactive approach toward product mix improvements. On rising high-end product mix and the design efforts which helped lower our costs effectively, our gross margin picked up from last quarter’s 7.6% to 12.8% this quarter. Meanwhile, our operating margin also increased considerably from 1.7% last quarter to 7.3%. Being noteworthy, our EBITDA margin expanded to 27.6% for the first quarter.”

In view of the positive outlook for the demand in 2010, the total capacity of AUO’s 7.5 generation fabs is planned to increase from 100,000 sheets per month in the first quarter of 2010 to 120,000 sheets by the end of the second quarter, aiming at meeting the growing demands in the emerging markets and seizing the opportunities brought by recovery of the European and American markets.

-- Unaudited, prepared by AUO on a consolidated basis
(a)  Basic EPS was calculated based on the total weighted average outstanding
     shares of each quarter (8,827m shares in 1Q10, 8,797m shares in 4Q09 and
     8,761m shares in 1Q09) by retroactively adjusting to stock dividend and
     stock bonus
(b)  Large size refers to panels that are 10 inches and above

(c)  The increase of the non-operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2009 is
     mainly attributable to legal expenses reserved for antitrust matters. The
     company expects that indictments against the company and certain personnel
     may be forthcoming in the next few months. The company has and will
     continue to vigorously defend itself with respect to the antitrust
     allegations. However, given the unpredictable nature of legal matters, the
     company cannot rule out the possibility that it may not prevail in all such
     matters or that the matters may settle. Therefore, the company believes
     that it is appropriate to make such accruals at this time as the company
     deems appropriate, with the understanding that the final amount, if any,
     may not be ascertained until the final resolution of these matters. 3 AUO
