Revenue Analysis Revenue Analysis: In the second quarter, revenue increased 11.3% quarter-over-quarter, as our business was supported by strong demand for our industry-leading 3nm and 5nm technologies, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign exchange rate. By technology, 3nm process technology contributed 24% of total wafer revenue in 2Q25 while 5nm and 7nm accounted for 36% and 14% respectively. Advanced technologies (7nm and below) accounted for 74% of total wafer revenue. By platform, HPC and Smartphone represented 60% and 27% of net revenue respectively, while IoT, Automotive, DCE, and Others each represented 5%, 5%, 1%, and 2%. Sequentially, revenue from HPC, Smartphone, IoT, DCE, and Others increased 14%, 7%, 14%, 30%, and 6% respectively. Automotive remained flat from last quarter. From a geographic perspective, revenue from customers based in North America accounted for 75% of total net revenue in 2Q25 while revenue from China, Asia Pacific, Japan, and EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) accounted for 9%, 9%, 4%, and 3% of total net revenue respectively. II. Profit & Expense Analysis Gross Profit Analysis: Gross margin was 58.6% in 2Q25, 0.2 percentage points lower than 1Q25, primarily due to an unfavorable foreign exchange rate and margin dilution from our overseas fabs, partially balanced by higher capacity utilization rate and cost improvement efforts.

The increase was mainly due to the injection of US$10 billion capital in 2Q25 to TSMC Global, a BVI company, which effectively reduced our USD exposure during a period of rapid NTD appreciation. This is more likely to be a one-time event. Operating Income Analysis: Total operating expenses decreased by NT$0.68 billion to NT$84.51 billion in 2Q25, representing 9.1% of net revenue in 2Q25, as compared to 10.2% in 1Q25, mainly due to operating leverage. Operating margin improved 1.1 percentage points sequentially to 49.6% in 2Q25. Net Profit and EPS: Net income attributable to shareholders of the parent company was NT$398.27 billion in 2Q25, up 10.2% from 1Q25 and up 60.7% from 2Q24. The higher income tax expenses during the second quarter mainly reflected the tax on undistributed retained earnings.

Days of inventory decreased 7 days to 76 days in 2Q25, primarily due to higher N3 and N5 wafer shipments. Liquidity Analysis: On a sequential basis, total current assets decreased by NT$80.75 billion, mainly due to the decrease of NT$68.66 billion in cash and marketable securities. Total current liabilities decreased by NT$22.49 billion, due to (1) the decrease of NT$38.46 billion in accrued liabilities and others and (2) the decrease of NT$29.75 billion in accounts payable, partially balanced by (3) the increase of NT$32.44 billion in current portion of bonds payable and bank loans and (4) the increase of NT$13.28 billion in dividends payable. Net working capital was NT$1,887.61 billion and current ratio was 2.4x in 2Q25. Debt Service: Net cash reserves increased by NT$2.21 billion to NT$1,656.54 billion in 2Q25, mainly due to the decrease of NT$70.87 billion in interest-bearing debts, offset by the decrease of NT$68.66 billion in cash and marketable securities in 2Q25. Interest-bearing debts decreased NT$70.87 billion in 2Q25, mainly due to changes in foreign exchange rates. III. Financial Condition Review

The other operating uses were mainly attributable to the income tax payment of NT$127.35 billion and changes in working capital of NT$55.46 billion. Net cash used in investing activities was NT$228.49 billion in 2Q25, primarily attributable to capital expenditures of NT$297.22 billion. Net cash used in financing activities was NT$119.70 billion, mainly reflecting the payment of 3Q24 cash dividends of NT$116.70 billion. Taking the unfavorable exchange rate into consideration, cash position decreased by NT$30.28 billion to NT$2,364.52 billion at the end of 2Q25. Capital Expenditures: Capital expenditures for TSMC on a consolidated basis totaled US$9.63 billion in 2Q25. V. CapEx Operating and Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow decreased by NT$94.89 billion to NT$199.85 billion in 2Q25 as a result of lower operating cash flow, primarily due to the income tax payment of NT$127.35 billion.
