[6-K] Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd. Current Report (Foreign Issuer)

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

TSMC’s July 2025 6-K highlights continued top-line momentum. Consolidated revenue reached NT$323.17 bn, up 22.5% versus June and 25.8% year-on-year. Cumulative Jan-Jul revenue climbed to NT$2,096.21 bn, a 37.6% YoY increase, underscoring robust demand for the foundry’s advanced process nodes.

Liquidity activities remain routine and intra-group focused. Subsidiary lending outstanding totaled NT$15.95 bn (TSMC China NT$14.15 bn; TSMC Development NT$1.80 bn) against board-approved limits of about NT$137 bn. Guarantees to wholly-owned units stood at NT$554.34 bn, well below the aggregate limit of NT$2.50 tn.

Derivative positions were sizeable but manageable: the parent company carried NT$118.40 bn notional forward contracts with an unrealized loss of NT$3.88 bn; other subsidiaries recorded minor unrealized losses. No hedge-accounted contracts show material mark-to-market impact.

No major transactions, earnings guidance, or management changes were disclosed.

Positive

• July revenue rose 25.8% YoY and 22.5% MoM, indicating strong demand momentum.
• Year-to-date revenue up 37.6%, pointing to robust 2025 growth trajectory.
• Loans and guarantees remain well within board-approved limits, supporting prudent balance-sheet management.

Negative

• Unrealized derivative loss of NT$3.88 bn at the parent level, though currently modest.
• Significant notional derivative exposure (NT$118 bn) could introduce future mark-to-market volatility.

Insights

Equity Research Analyst

TL;DR – Strong July sales reinforce growth; derivative losses modest.

The 25.8% YoY and 22.5% MoM revenue jump signals sustained capacity pull-through despite cyclical concerns. Jan–Jul sales growth of 37.6% puts TSMC on track to comfortably exceed prior full-year revenue comparisons if momentum persists. Intra-group loans and guarantees appear conservative relative to limits, suggesting disciplined capital allocation. Forward-contract unrealized losses of NT$3.9 bn are immaterial (<0.2% of YTD revenue) and reflect currency hedging, not speculative trading. Overall filing is incrementally positive for the equity narrative, affirming demand resilience without introducing new risks.
