    SHANGHAI, China, Jan. 31 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ --
Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation
(NYSE: SMI; SEHK: 981) ("SMIC" or the
"Company"), one of the leading semiconductor
foundries in the world, today announced its consolidated
results of operations for the three months ended December
31, 2006.  Sales increased 4.0% in the fourth quarter of
2006 to $383.8 million from $368.9 million in the third
quarter.  The Company reported an increase in capacity to
182,250 8-inch equivalent wafers per month and a
utilization rate of 86.6% in the fourth quarter of 2006. 
Gross margins were 6.6% in the fourth quarter of 2006
compared to 8.9% in the third quarter of 2006.  Net income
of $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to
a net loss of $15.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2005
and a net loss of $35.1 million in the third quarter of
2006.

    "SMIC posted record revenues of $1.46 billion
dollars in 2006, which represented a 25% increase year over
year," said Dr. Richard Chang, Chief Executive Officer
of SMIC.  "Gross profit grew by 68% year over year to
$150.7 million dollars.  We were able to reduce our net
loss by 64% year over year and managed to increase EBITDA
by 25% year over year to $911.1 million dollars.

    Our fourth quarter revenue from advanced technology
nodes demonstrates SMIC's ability to meet the needs of a
growing customer base.  The positive product mix shift
resulted in 90 nanometer and 130 nanometer technologies
contributing 57.4% of total wafer revenues, up from their
46.1% contribution in the third quarter.

    There was particular strength in the PC related ICs,
DTV, MP3/4, and Bluetooth applications.  Also, we had eight
new Mainland China customer wins during the fourth quarter.

    SMIC will keenly focus on generating profitability for
our shareholders.  We will continue to develop our
capabilities according to our technology roadmap in a
fiscally responsible manner.  Our 65nm technology
development is progressing smoothly.  The Chengdu and Wuhan
projects allow us to continue to grow our business while
managing our internal capital expenditure in an efficient
manner.  These projects will allow us to better serve our
international customers while positioning ourselves closer
to potential Chinese customers.

    In the fourth quarter, the strategic decision to sell
some of SMIC's matured technology machinery and equipment
further lowered our future depreciation expenses and
enabled the Company to expand towards more advanced
technologies.  We plan to have controlled capital
expenditures of $720 million for 2007.

    For the first quarter of 2007, we are expecting more
than 17% of our total wafer revenue to come from 90nm
sales.  We believe the continued prudent development of
advanced technology nodes for leading customers positions
SMIC for continual growth and improved profitability in
2007."

    Litigation

    The Company is subject to a pending lawsuit with Taiwan
Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Limited
("TSMC"), related to the intangible assets, with
a net book value of $94.5 million, the Company recorded for
patents licensed from TSMC and TSMC's covenant not to sue
the Company regarding certain allegations of acts of trade
secret misappropriation.  Under SFAS 144, the Company is
required to make a determination as to whether or not this
pending litigation represents an event that requires a
further analysis of whether such assets have been impaired.
 We believe that the lawsuit is at a very early stage, TSMC
has not produced any evidence of misappropriation and we
are still evaluating whether or not the litigation
represents such an event. The Company expects further
information to become available to us, which will aid us in
making a determination.  The outcome of any impairment
analysis performed under SFAS 144 might result in a
material impact on our financial positions and results of
operations.

    On September 13, 2006, the Company announced that in
addition to filing a response (on September 12, 2006)
strongly denying the allegations of TSMC in the United
States lawsuit, the Company also filed a cross-complaint
against TSMC, seeking, amongst other things, damages for
TSMC's breach of contract and breach of implied covenant of
good faith and fair dealing.

    On November 16, 2006, the High Court in Beijing, the
People's Republic of China accepted the filing of a
complaint by the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Semiconductor Manufacturing International (Shanghai)
Corporation and Semiconductor Manufacturing International
(Beijing) Corporation regarding the unfair competition
arising from the breach of bona fide (i.e., integrity, good
faith) principle and commercial defamation by TSMC
("PRC Complaint").   In the PRC Complaint, the
Company is seeking, amongst other things, an injunction to
stop TSMC's infringing acts, public apology from TSMC to
the Company and compensation from TSMC to the Company,
including profits gained by TSMC from their infringing
acts.

    Capex Summary
    
    -- Capital expenditures for 4Q06 was $211.6 million.
    -- Total planned capital expenditures for 2007 will be
approximately $720
       million and will be adjusted based on market
conditions.

    First Quarter 2007 Guidance

    The following statements are forward looking statements
which are based on current expectation and which involve
risks and uncertainties, some of which are set forth under
"Safe Harbor Statements" above.

    -- Revenues expected to remain flat from the fourth
quarter. 
    -- Gross margins expected to be in the 12% to 14%
range.
    -- Operating expense excluding any gain from disposal
as a percentage of 
       sales expected to be in the mid-teens.
    -- Free cash flow of around $30 million.  Free cash
flow is defined as 
       EBITDA less capex.
    -- Capital expenditures expected to be approximately
$170 million to $190
       million and total capex for 2007 will be
approximately $720 million.
    -- Depreciation and amortization expected to be
approximately $185 
       million to $195 million.

    Beginning in the first quarter of 2007, the accounting
estimate in the relation to the useful life of fab-related
machinery and equipment will be modified.  This change will
have an effect on the gross margin and depreciation
guidance.  Currently, we use a five-year straight-line
depreciation method.  We consider the current useful life
estimate overly conservative in light of the expected
economic life of the equipment as well as the industry
general practice.  We will therefore change the useful life
estimate to a five to seven year range, which is consistent
with industry practice, and will more accurately reflect
the economics associated with the ownership of the
equipment.
