Business Report

Dear Shareholders,

Acer has made significant progress with the dual transformation of our core business and new initiatives in 2019, and we are pleased to share with you key developments that demonstrate the forward-looking mindset of a sustainable company. Opportunities as well as challenges have arisen, in fact, the industry’s CPU supply issue that began in late 2018 persisted throughout 2019, and has been reflected in our consolidated revenues, which was down slightly year-over-year at NT$234.29 billion, with net income of NT$2.63 billion, and earnings per share (EPS) at NT$0.87.

The pursuits in technological innovation, broadening the boundaries of the PC business and new markets, and creating multiple growth engines are the foundations of Acer’s dual transformation. In the PC business we have focused on segments with growth opportunities, such as ultra-slim notebooks and gaming PCs. Our efforts have been rewarded with year-on-year growth for Acer gaming PC and ultrathin notebook shipments exceeding the industry (Source: FY2019, GfK & NPD), and ranking No. 2 in Taiwan patent applications with 565 filings – up 19% from the previous year.

At the same time, Acer’s corporate responsibility efforts have consistently been recognized by global sustainability indices that benchmark environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance of organizations. For the sixth consecutive year we have been listed in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) Emerging Markets Index.

In the gaming field, Acer has created an ecosystem with powerful PCs and cool gadgets, esports events, and an esports social platform. Our flagship Predator PCs, and Predator Thronos gaming chair provide the ultimate gaming experience. We not only sponsored esports events but also hosted our own Asia Pacific Predator League with growing success. The 2019 tournament drew 3,530 teams who competed for months and battled for the championship in Thailand. The 2020 finals will bring the league to a higher level with almost 20,000 tickets sold already. Finally, Planet9 is our new brand and latest venture in gaming announced in September. Currently in open beta stage, it is an open community platform that allows players to build their team, train, and challenge for victory. Through esports, Acer will engage new audiences while bringing innovations and game-changing designs first to market.

In the PC business we have continued to challenge ourselves and innovate. We maintained our leading edge in the thin-andlight notebook segment with the Swift 5 as the world’s lightest 14-inch notebook, under 900 g. Worldwide, Acer gaming monitors ranked No. 1 (Q1-Q3 ’19, IHS). As we continue our leadership in these two segments, we unveiled a new brand of high-end PCs and monitors optimized for creators such as graphic designers, filmmakers, engineers, architects, developers and others. The pristine yet powerful ConceptD portfolio, with quiet operation and high color accuracy, has been hailed as the Windows comparison of the Apple Mac, as well as receiving more the 40 “Best of Show” accolades recently at the CES consumer show, reflecting the media’s positive reception of the brand.

Making up the other part of Acer’s dual transformation is our multiple business engines, which have kept their momentum and have seen viable growth, these include Acer Cyber Security, Acer Synergy Tech (AST), Weblink International, and Acer e-Enabling Service Business, and more. The strategy of listing our subsidiaries is also progressing accordingly. During the fourth

14

Agenda of 2020 General Shareholders’ Meeting

quarter, AST became listed on the emerging market of the Taipei Exchange, Weblink International began its public offering process, with more in the pipeline. These new businesses are also making steadily increasing contribution to Acer’s overall revenues.

Many of our new initiatives are making good progress. GadgeTek captured great international media attention with the launch in the Vatican of the “Click to Pray eRosary” smart wearable for the Catholic community, reaping 2500 media articles. In the biotech realm, we forged a cross-industry cooperation with Novartis Taiwan, where the companies will focus on artificial intelligence (AI) technology in areas such as clinical trial design, disease detection, and patient care integration. Acer and Novartis will benefit from each other’s global operations to bring smart medical products to markets, forming a win-win opportunity.

More exciting developments of our AI-based technologies include the indoor smart air monitor solution, developed by our AI research team in collaboration with experts in the field of air quality. Plans are in place to serve 1300 locations including schools in mid and southern Taiwan in 2020. Acer will provide a one-stop shop air quality improvement solution from detection, data analytics, reporting, solution, to maintenance. Also in the realm of smart cities, following the success of Taiwan’s first roadside Smart Parking Meter BOT project in Tainan by Acer ITS, more smart parking meters will be promoted to be implemented in other cities.

Without a doubt, Acer has so much under development and we are constantly seeking for new prospects. With your trust and support, Acer’s goal is to bring higher value to our customers, shareholders and employees, and to become an indispensable part of life. Thank you.
