CapEx values are taken from TSMC's reported cash flow statements (interim 6-K and annual 20-F filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission). Each row shows the period end date and the filing date. YoY compares each figure to the same period one year earlier. Amounts converted to USD using IAS 21 average exchange rates (P&L / cash flow) or closing rates (balance sheet). Originally filed in TWD.
About CapEx at TSMC (TSM)
According to TSMC's latest reported financial statements, the company's current CapEx (TTM) is $41.98B. Capital expenditures (CapEx) are cash outlays for property, plant, and equipment and other long-lived productive assets — reported on the cash flow statement under investing activities. CapEx funds future capacity (factories, data centers, software, machinery), so rising spend can signal investment in growth, while heavy CapEx reduces free cash flow available to shareholders. We display CapEx as a positive amount (the absolute cash outflow); compare with revenue to gauge capital intensity and with total assets for the asset-base context.
