1. Business report of 2024.
Business Report
In 2024, the ASUS team successfully reached another milestone in our evolution, achieving the second-highest annual profits in our company’s history, while also accomplishing several key strategic goals. These include securing a leading position in the Copilot+ PC market, establishing ourselves as the leading gaming laptop brand, achieving our server revenue growth targets ahead of schedule, and continuously driving product and operations innovation within our Open Platform Business Group to further strengthen our unwavering market leadership. Together, let us take this opportunity to recognize and thank the ASUS team for their outstanding achievements.
Throughout our evolution, we witnessed the ASUS team’s unity, mutual trust, and radical transparency that encouraged constructive confrontation, while embracing idea meritocracy built upon collective wisdom and creative excellence. Together, we cultivated strong relationships and delivered meaningful results. Additionally, we deepened our commitment to embedding Design Thinking throughout our organization, ensuring every team member prioritizes customer-centric innovation. This approach guides us to support customers throughout the entire value chain, delivering products and services characterized by exceptional desirability, experience, and happiness.
Looking ahead to 2025, the wave of AI development will be even greater, potentially ushering in revolutionary innovations, even as the political and economic landscape becomes increasingly turbulent and unpredictable. This era of uncertainty provides an incredible opportunity for the ASUS team to unleash our potential and demonstrate our resilience. The faster the world changes, the greater ASUS's evolution will be. AI represents an unprecedented opportunity for the technology industry and society as a whole, and we are excited to both witness and actively shape this new era. Regardless of external changes, our commitment to user-centric innovation remains unwavering. By fully integrating and implementing Design Thinking, ASUS will continuously enhance user experiences and generate greater corporate value, fulfilling our mission of delivering incredible experiences to everyone.
The following is a brief overview of our operational results for 2024 and our outlook for 2025:
Taiwan's Most Valuable Global Brand and One of the World's Most Admired Companies
Upholding our In Search of Incredible brand spirit, ASUS was honored by Interbrand for the eleventh year as Taiwan’s Most Valuable Global Brand, and for the tenth year as one of Fortune’s World's Most Admired Companies. These prestigious international recognitions reflect our longterm investment value, corporate social responsibility, and effective utilization of corporate assets. ASUS’s continued success is rooted in our culture of radical transparency and our unwavering commitment to enhancing customer experiences through Design Thinking.

Taiwan Excellence Awards, nine Best Choice Awards, 23 Good Design Awards, two IDEA Silver Awards, and was selected for the "Best Design of the Year" Golden Pin Award.
Driving Comprehensive AI Innovation and Applications through Design Thinking
ASUS is committed to becoming a comprehensive AI company, advancing AI integration across our products and services through our strategy of Ubiquitous AI. Incredible Possibilities. In 2024, ASUS launched multiple Copilot+ PCs and various AI-driven applications. The Zenbook DUO (2024), recognized for its revolutionary dual-screen design and detachable keyboard enabling outstanding productivity across diverse scenarios, was added to the permanent collection at the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. Additionally, the ROG Zephyrus series laptops exemplify our Design Thinking approach, achieving an excellent balance of design and performance, and winning both the 2024 Red Dot Design Award and PC Gamer's Best Gaming Laptop award for 2024.
In the server domain, ASUS introduced comprehensive AI infrastructure solutions, including collaborating with our partners to build advanced supercomputing centers, one of which ranked 31st among the world’s TOP 500 supercomputers. In smart healthcare, ASUS's AI-powered endoscopy solution, EndoAim, received the prestigious U.S. MedTech Breakthrough Award, and our handheld wireless ultrasound LU800 series won the National Medical Quality Award. Internally, ASUS established a Gen AI committee, developed a proprietary AI Hub and Large Language Model (LLM), and introduced multiple AI assistants and productivity tools, significantly enhancing organizational efficiency and fostering innovation.
Strengthening Sustainable Strategies and Cybersecurity Management to Build Operational Resilience
ASUS promotes a sustainability strategy with a focus on fundamentals and results by digitizing data, adopting scientific management practices, and optimizing core competencies. We concentrate on four key pillars: Climate Action, Circular Economy, Responsible Manufacturing, and Value Creation. In recent years, we have been recognized for our climate governance and disclosure efforts. For three consecutive years, Corporate Knights has included ASUS in the Clean200. Additionally, for two consecutive years, we received Leadership-level ratings from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) in its Climate Change Report. ASUS was also honored with an Asia Sustainability Reporting Award, ranked among the Asia-Pacific Climate Leaders, and attained a Prime-level ranking in the ISS ESG Corporate Ratings. Furthermore, ASUS was included in the Morgan Stanley Sustainable Index, the Financial Times Emerging Markets Sustainable Index, and the Taiwan Sustainability Index.
ASUS remains committed to strengthening cybersecurity governance through the comprehensive implementation of the ISO 27001, 27701, 27017, and 27018 information security management standards. Our dedicated team has obtained over 200 international cybersecurity certifications, and we continuously invest in strengthening employees’ cybersecurity capabilities. In product development, ASUS adheres to international best practices, such as the Secure Software
2025 Annual General Shareholders Meeting Handbook -6-
Development Life Cycle (SSDLC) and Secure Hardware Development Life Cycle (SHDLC) to ensure robust product security. In 2024, ASUS successfully completed an audit by the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), becoming a Certified Numbering Authority (CNA), capable of independently managing and disclosing product vulnerabilities. Additionally, ASUS joined the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), further enhancing our digital operational resilience.
Expanding AI Deployment and Accelerating Industry Innovation in 2025
In 2024, ASUS Group's consolidated revenue reached NT$587.1 billion, representing a 22% increase compared to 2023.

Looking ahead, although AI-enabled technologies are still in their infancy, their potential to enhance the utility and value of personal computing products is rising. The market is expected to enter a period of healthy growth in the coming years, with product iterations and strategic projects gaining even greater strategic importance. The diversified development of AI products and applications will accelerate market innovation and transformation. Historically, during periods of stable technical specifications, ASUS differentiated ourselves and established competitive advantages through incremental innovation. However, as we now face rapid market transformation and significant technological advancements, ASUS is prepared to embrace bold ambition and make strategic investments to fully realize “leapfrog” innovation and further expand our leadership and competitive edge.
Overall, ASUS's key strategic goals for 2025 will remain focused on expanding our leadership in AI by empowering products and services with this technology across AI PCs, AI Servers, Edge AI, AIoT, and a comprehensive range of usage scenarios. We will also develop premium products aimed at high-value customers, further elevating user experiences and strengthening brand value. Gaming products, now one of our core business areas, will continue to reinforce ASUS’s reputation and market presence among high-end users. In the enterprise segment, we will strengthen our regional strategies, deeply cultivating commercial markets and strengthening channels in key countries. In terms of industry strategy, ASUS will collaborate with key platform creators to jointly develop AIdriven products and applications, accelerating overall industry innovation and evolution.
