Diluted net loss per ordinary share was USD0.01, an improvement from USD0.07 diluted net loss per ordinary share in the third quarter a year ago.
Chartered's third quarter revenues amounted to USD415.2m, a decrease of 10.4% from USD463.6m in last year's third quarter but up 19.0% sequentially. Revenues including Chartered's share of SMP totalled USD439.8m, down 9.7% from the same period in 2008 but up 19.2% sequentially.
The year-on-year revenue decline was primarily due to a decline in semiconductor demand across all sectors, the company stated. The improvement from the second quarter of 2009 was attributed to strength in the communications sector and to a lesser extent the computer sector.
