Insights
TSMC posts very strong Q1 top-line growth with manageable FX-hedging impacts.
TSMC delivered robust demand signals: March 2026 revenue of NT$415.19 billion grew 30.7% month-on-month and 45.2% year-on-year. First-quarter 2026 revenue of NT$1,134.10 billion was up 35.1% versus the prior year period, indicating broad strength in wafer demand and advanced-node utilization.
The filing also outlines intra-group funding and guarantees that support overseas fabs in China, the United States, and globally. Lending to TSMC Nanjing and TSMC Washington and guarantees for TSMC North America, Global, and Arizona show continued capital commitment to international capacity expansion, while keeping exposures within pre-approved board limits.
On risk management, TSMC and its subsidiaries list sizeable foreign-exchange derivative positions. TSMC’s non-hedge-accounting forwards carry outstanding notional of NT$205.04 billion with a mark-to-market loss of NT$3.04 billion and cumulative realized losses of NT$5.11 billion. These amounts are modest relative to quarterly revenue but highlight ongoing sensitivity to currency swings. Subsequent disclosures in future periods will show whether hedging results normalize as contract portfolios roll off.

mark to market financial
"Mark to Market of Outstanding Contracts | (3,041,798)"
Mark to market is an accounting practice that records the value of an asset or liability at its current market price instead of its original purchase cost. For investors, it means a company's reported earnings, balance sheet and capital ratios change as market prices move—like updating a price tag each day—so reported profits and risk can fluctuate quickly with market swings.

hedge accounting financial
"Derivatives applying hedge accounting. ‧TSMC Global"
Hedge accounting is a way companies record the gains and losses from risk-management tools (like contracts that lock prices or rates) so those results line up with the items they protect. Think of it like matching the cost of an insurance policy to the value of the thing insured, which prevents artificial swings in reported profit. For investors, hedge accounting makes a company’s financial results clearer by showing the economic effect of risk management instead of noisy timing differences.
