Business Report

Acer’s key focuses over the past year have been to maintain its business momentum and march towards a more sustainable future. We have continued to evolve with the industry and lifestyle changes by pushing for innovation and environmentally-friendly designs for our PCs/displays and expand our multiple business engines.

Acer believes that it is everyone’s responsibility to do the right thing for a greener environment; it’s a critical subject across all industries. In 2021, we joined the RE100 initiative and pledged to source 100% renewable energy by 2035. Moreover, we announced the Acer “Earthion” platform that unites employees and supply chain partners to tackle environmental challenges, and launched the Vero line of green notebooks, desktops and displays, which utilize post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic, recyclable packaging, and ocean-bound plastic waste.

As the current pandemic lingers on, our company has been working hard to help people cope with the challenges by providing them with the technology to stay connected for study, work, or stay in touch with their loved ones. Adapting to changing needs, we have expanded our antimicrobial offering to more products and lines. The close monitoring of market dynamics and swift actions taken have helped our company to strengthen our resilience and return to profitability to over NT$10 billion in 2021. We reported our fiscal 2021 results with consolidated revenues of NT$319.01 billion with 15.1% year-over-year (YoY) growth, and operating income of NT$14.16 billion with 58.5% YoY growth. In addition, the net income of NT$10.90 billion and EPS of NT$3.63 were both the highest in 11 years.

Innovation and Intrapreneurship

In 2021, Acer ranked No. 5 for total PCs shipments worldwide (Source: IDC). Business highlights include YoY growth of both our notebook and desktop PCs by 21%, the gaming line (gaming related products and businesses) by 27%, our commercial notebooks by 43%, while other businesses (not part of PCs and displays) grew by 27% YoY. In addition, we ranked among the top 3 in Taiwan patent applications.

In the PCs and displays business, we are committed to strengthening the foundations with technological innovations such as our state-of-the-art thermal cooling solutions and unique product lines for the specific needs of gamers, creators, education, usage in harsh environments, and more. At the same time, our strategy to explore new initiatives such as solutions for smart cities, expand into adjacent territories, and cultivate multiple business engines, is gaining momentum.

In the gaming field, Acer continued building on its comprehensive ecosystem that now includes hardware/accessories, esports tournaments, esports social platforms, and beverages (launched in Asia, Europe and South America). In Taiwan, Acer subsidiaries are distributors of popular gaming consoles. In hardware, Acer has stood out from the competition by introducing new generations of its advanced thermal cooling solutions to enable its gaming notebooks and desktops to run at peak performance.

Multiple Growth Engines and New Initiatives

Acer’s strategy to build multiple business engines continued to gain momentum and saw viable growth, such as the good progress made by Highpoint Service Network, Acer Gaming, and Acer Gadget. For the full year of 2021, these businesses contributed to 17.6% of Acer’s overall revenues, up from 15.4% in 2020.

The strategy of promoting intrapreneurship and listing our subsidiaries also made progress; as of January 2022, Acer has six listed subsidiaries in Taiwan, with Acer Medical as the newest addition being listed on the Taipei Exchange Emerging Stock Market. We always offer our shareholders the opportunity to invest in the new engines as they go public, so that shareholders can have their share of voice and be part of the business development, and ensuring that we adhere to proper governance.

Recognition for ESG Performance

Our corporate responsibility efforts have consistently been recognized by global sustainability indices that benchmark environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance of organizations. We have been awarded with a Silver Class distinction in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook in both 2021 and 2022 for the top ESG scoring companies. We were listed in the MSCI ESG Leaders Indexes for the eighth year, and garnered the best rating of “AAA” for the first time that represents the top 2% in its category. And for the eighth consecutive year we have been listed in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices Emerging Markets Index.

With your support we’ve navigated through these ever-challenging times and tested our company resilience. We will continue to push limits and bring value to our customers, shareholders and employees. Thank you.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or aggregated, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent-company-only financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent-company-only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve

collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  1. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.

  2. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  3. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, base on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. lfwe conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the parent-company-only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future

events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent-company-only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent-company-only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  2. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investee companies the equity method to express an opinion on

accounted for using the parent-company-only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other ma ers, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that w e identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent-company-only financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors'report are Huei-Chen Chang and Ching-Wen Kao.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing Acer Incorporated and its subsidiaries' ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate Acer Incorporated and its subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors'Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements, as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or aggregated, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions ofusers taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

~

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due those risks, and obtain audit evidence

to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to a material

that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  1. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Acer Incorporated and its subsidiaries'internal control.

  2. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  3. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on Acer Incorporated and its subsidiaries'ability to continue as a going concern. Ifwe conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors'report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors'report. However, future events or conditions may cause Acer Incorporated and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.

  4. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  5. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within Acer Incorporated and its subsidiaries to express an opinion on the consolidated financial

statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we detennine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors'report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors'report are Huei-Chen Chang and Ching-Wen Kao.
