On April 23, during its first quarter earnings conference call, SK hynix stated, "We expect our capital expenditures for this year to increase significantly compared to last year. Most of this will be allocated to expanding the operation rate (ramp-up) of 'M15X', preparing infrastructure centered around the Yongin Cluster, and securing key equipment such as extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems." The company added, "Since it takes several years to build and fully operate semiconductor production infrastructure, and securing critical equipment also requires substantial lead times, we will strategically secure a production base that allows us to proactively respond to mid- to long-term demand growth."
