Parent sales for the month came in at 28.50 bln twd, down from 29.20 bln achieved in August but up 6.1 pct from a year earlier, the world's largest contract maker of semiconductor chips said.
Cumulative consolidated sales in the first nine months of the year fell 5.6 pct year-on-year to 228.77 bln twd, it said.
Parent sales for the same period amounted to 222.66 bln twd, down 7.2 pct.
In the third quarter to September alone, consolidated sales rose to 88.00 bln twd from 74.92 bln in the previous quarter.
The third-quarter showing compares with its guidance given last month that its consolidated sales in the September quarter will top 87-89 bln twd, up from 85-87 bln projected in July.
Both the gross margin and operating margin for the third quarter are also expected to be better than the previous guidance, TSMC added.
In its guidance given on July 26, TSMC had expected its gross margin in the third quarter to come in at 43-45 pct with the operating margin at 33-35 pct.
In today's trade, TSMC closed down 0.20 twd or 0.31 pct at 64.80.
