友達迎來成立30週年,面對全球面板競爭格局轉變,持續推動轉型及資產活化。
面板大廠友達(2409)迎接成立30週年,轉型腳步持續加快。董事長彭双浪今(17)日表示,友達將透過三大營運支柱公司化、傳統面板產能調整及資產活化,加速布局新興技術,打造第二成長曲線,同時將培育更多「小老虎」。友達總經理張博儀表示,市場關注的中科廠區是否處分,預計年底前將有明確答案,屆時這波資產活化也將告一段落,以利明年推動新布局。
友達今日於新竹舉辦30週年運動會。彭双浪在會後記者會上指出,友達30年來曾經歷獲利高峰,也面臨嚴重虧損及生存挑戰。隨著全球面板產業競爭從日本、韓國延伸至台灣及中國,產業格局已大幅改變,友達必須尋求新的成長方向。
彭双浪表示,友達早在2014年便提出從價格競爭轉向價值競爭,雖然過去十多年來轉型策略不斷調整,但核心方向始終不變。從過去雙軸轉型走向三大營運支柱,今年更進一步推動公司化經營,集團運作逐步朝「類控股公司」模式發展,讓各事業體對營收、獲利及營運績效負責。
彭双浪指出,友達正朝輕資產方向轉型,持續整頓傳統面板產能,對缺乏競爭力的產線進行關閉或轉型,並透過「騰籠換鳥」,將部分既有廠區改造成新技術及新產品研發基地,涵蓋Micro LED、低軌衛星天線及X光感測等應用,提高既有廠房及設備的使用效益。同時積極推動土地及廠房資產活化,將處分所得資金重新投入新技術及新事業布局,加速集團轉型。
針對先前董事會通過的約240億元投資計畫,彭双浪澄清,這並非今年單年度資本支出,而是配合各項新技術及新事業發展進度,分階段投入,顯示友達投資重心已逐步從傳統面板產能擴充,轉向新興技術布局。
彭双浪強調,友達經過近幾年營運體質及財務結構調整,已建立更健康的經營基礎,未來將以既有顯示技術、製造能力、客戶關係及供應鏈生態系為基礎,積極拓展顯示器以外的新事業,朝穩定獲利及建立第二成長曲線的目標邁進。
此外,彭双浪也提出培育更多「小老虎」。他表示,對於不屬於集團三大核心營運支柱的子公司,若營運規模及獲利達一定水準,未來不排除規劃上市,例如星耀、雨沛永續等。
在資產活化進度方面,張博儀補充,友達希望今年底前完成這一波資產活化的整體評估,對外提出明確答案,讓相關討論告一段落。
他強調,資產活化並非單純為了出售廠房取得資金,而是從未來幾年的業務策略出發,評估哪些廠區仍有保留必要,以及舊世代產線是否具備競爭力。
至於外界關注的中科廠區是否列入下一波資產活化名單,張博儀表示,目前仍在討論,尚未定案。他也坦言,相關議題長期懸而未決,已對投資人、客戶及員工造成困擾,友達會在年底前給出明確方向。
對於友達先前出售廠房的交易,能否在今年內認列處分利益,張博儀指出,部分已出售廠房目前仍有產線運作,必須先完成產線移轉、廠房清空及交付,相關交易才能依會計規定認列。其中,新加坡廠房交易還涉及當地政府審核,程序較台灣複雜,即使買賣雙方已有共識,實際完成時間仍取決於主管機關審查進度,因此相關處分利益能否在今年認列,仍有不確定性。
