Third-quarter margins came under pressure

The operating result shifted from a TWD 2.80 billion profit in the second quarter to a TWD 4.20 billion loss in the third quarter. Pretax income was TWD 5.30 billion, while equity-method investment income reached TWD 7.43 billion, including TWD 7.53 billion from Formosa Petrochemical.
