Based on our current business outlook and exchange rate assumptions of 1 US dollar to 31.4 NT dollars (versus 30.9 in 4[th] quarter 2025), management projects overall performance for the first quarter of 2026 to be as follows:

ATM

  • In NT dollar terms, our ATM 1st quarter revenue should decline by low to mid single digits quarter over quarter;

  • Our ATM 1st quarter gross margin should be between 24% to 25%.

EMS

  • In NT dollar terms, our EMS 1st quarter revenue and operating margin should be similar with 1st quarter 2025 levels.
