Business Report
In 2025, the global macroeconomic environment was fraught with volatility and challenges. Impacted by the U.S. government shutdown, fluctuating tariff policies, and heightened geopolitical tensions, global enterprises adopted a conservative approach toward capital expenditure and procurement decisions. Despite these severe external headwinds, AVer steadfastly adhered to our core business philosophy of "staying grounded and creating value." We continued to deepen our development in core technologies, including video, audio, and AI. Our dual developmental strategies—"Leveraging AI to drive telemedicine transformation" and "Deepening audio and video collaboration"—have progressively demonstrated our operational resilience.
Connected Health business achieved a milestone of doubling its performance. Anchored by AI, our robust R&D capabilities consecutively earned us the 2025 "Global Company of the Year Award" in the medical-grade PTZ camera sector by Frost & Sullivan, as well as the Best Telehealth & Telesitting Solutions Provider at the prestigious Healthcare & Pharmaceutical Awards 2025 from Global Health & Pharma in the UK. Looking ahead, we will increase our R&D investments in the Connected Health business and collaborate with global telemedicine ecosystem partners to provide customized medical electronic manufacturing services. This will expand our footprint in the European and American markets and drive our growth momentum.
Next, ODM business, AVer's strong R&D and manufacturing capabilities earned the trust of leading client partners in Europe, the Americas, and Japan. We successfully secured orders from key indicator clients, optimizing our Net Revenue structure to mitigate the volatility risks associated with the own-brand market. Moving forward, we will continually enhance our technical service capabilities, deliver high-value-added products and services, and deepen our strategic partnerships with key clients.
Regarding Video Conferencing business and Pro AV business, short-term performance fell short of expectations due to the conservative market sentiment; however, the long-term growth trajectory remains solid. Relying on outstanding product innovation and services, AVer not only secured deep trust from end-users but also received the Silver at Taiwan Excellence Awards 2026, fully demonstrating our leadership position in the AI intelligent and hybrid collaboration sectors. We will carefully navigate market changes, continue to cultivate medium to large conference rooms and hybrid collaborative spaces, and provide cross-platform and cross-device integrated solutions. We strive to become an indispensable strategic partner for our clients and further expand our market share.
For the Integrated Presentation and Education business, short-term operations faced disruptions from the crowding-out effect of the U.S. government budget. Nevertheless, the U.S. market remains highly indicative and serves as a benchmark for the Integrated Presentation and Education applications. Leveraging the practical experience and leading position accumulated in the U.S., we will proactively extend this successful model to other key regional markets to capture more project opportunities.
We hereby present the report on our 2025 operational results, the 2026 business plan, and the impacts of the macroeconomic environment as follows:

Independent Auditor's Report (translated from Chinese)
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of AVer Information Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Aver Information Inc. and its subsidiaries (AVer Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, cash flows, and notes to consolidated financial statements (including summary of significant accounting policies) from January 1 to December 31, 2025 and 2024. The independent auditor has completed the audits of these statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of AVer Information Inc. as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows from January 1 to December 31, 2025 and 2024 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of AVer Information Inc. in accordance with The Norm of the Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of AVer Group for the fiscal year of 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for AVer Group's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year of 2025 as stated as follows:
Assessment of sales returns and allowances
The main customers of AVer Group are distributors in the Americas. In order to promote sales and expand the market, AVer Group and its main distributors have entered multiple contracts on sales discounts (allowances). Since calculation methods applied to respective contracts vary by product or sales achievement; bases of the calculations also involve the risks of estimation uncertainty of expected sales amount, therefore, the assessment of the sales discounts (allowances) has been identified as a key auditor matter.
We obtained an understanding of the methods applied to sales discounts (allowances) by AVer Group, inquired the basis of management's estimation on expected sales amount, and obtained documents to assess the reasonableness thereof. Furthermore, we inspected AVer Group's contracts of sales discounts (allowances), checked whether the sales discount (allowance) calculations were implemented in accordance with AVer Group's established policies, verified the actual payment requests by the distributors and inspected the achievement of sales forecast after the reporting period in order to assess the reasonableness of the sales discount (allowance) estimations.

17
Other Matter
AVer Information Inc. has prepared parent company only financial statements for the fiscal years of 2025 and 2024 as references on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and maintains the internal control as management determines necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing AVer Group's 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 the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing AVer Group's financial reporting process.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement as a whole, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, however, is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards on auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists in the consolidated financial statements. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. Misstatements are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
We exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit as part of an audit in accordance with the standards on auditing of the Republic of China. We also conduct the following tasks:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error; design and perform audit procedures in response to those risks; and obtain audit evidence that are sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
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 AVer Group's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
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 of conditions that may cast significant doubt on AVer Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we 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 AVer Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements (including relevant notes), and whether the consolidated
18
financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within AVer Group 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 determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year of 2025. 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 Pei-Dep Chen and I-Ching Liu.

Independent Auditors' Report (translated from Chinese)
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of AVer Information Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of AVer Information Inc. (the Company), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and related statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, cash flows, and notes to parent company only financial statements (including summary of significant accounting policies) from January 1 to December 31, 2025 and 2024. The independent auditors have completed the audits of these statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AVer Information Inc. as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and its financial performance and its cash flows from January 1 to December 31, 2025 and 2024 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the parent company only financial statements section of our report. We are independent of AVer Information Inc. in accordance with the Norm of the Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements of AVer Information Inc. for the fiscal year of 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for AVer Information Inc.'s parent company only financial statements for the fiscal year of 2025 as stated as follows:
Subsidiary by investment using the equity method - Assessment on sales allowances of AVer Information Inc. (USA)
AVer Information Inc. (USA), a subsidiary of AVer Information Inc. invested by the Company using the equity method, has distributors in the Americas as its main customers. In order to promote sales and expand the market, AVer Information Inc. (USA) and its main distributors have entered multiple contracts on sales discounts (allowances). Since calculation methods applied to respective contracts vary by product or sales achievement; bases of the calculations also involve the risks of estimation uncertainty of expected sales amount, therefore, the assessment of the sales discounts (allowances) has been identified as a key auditor matter.
We obtained an understanding of the methods applied to sales discounts (allowances) by AVer Information Inc. (USA), a subsidiary of AVer Information Inc. invested by the Company using the equity method, inquired the basis of management's estimation on expected sales amount, and obtained documents to assess the reasonableness thereof. Furthermore, we inspected AVer Information Inc. (USA)'s contracts of sales discounts (allowances), checked whether the sales discount (allowance) calculations were implemented in accordance with AVer Group's policies, verified the actual payment requests by the distributors, and reviewed the estimation made for subsequent period, in order to assess the reasonableness of the sales discount (allowance) estimations.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of
29
Financial Reports by Securities Issuers to maintain the internal control as management determines necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing AVer Information Inc.'s 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 the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing AVer Information Inc.'s financial reporting process.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the parent company only financial statements are free from material misstatement as a whole, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinions. 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 in the parent company only financial statements. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. Misstatements are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also conduct the following tasks:
- 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 in response to those risks; and obtain audit evidence that are sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,
30
or the override of internal control.
-
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 AVer Information Inc.'s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
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 of conditions that may cast significant doubt on AVer Information Inc.'s ability to continue as a going concern. If we 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 AVer Information Inc. to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements (including relevant notes), and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within AVer Information Inc. to express an opinion on 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 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).
31
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 (including related safeguards where applicable).
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 AVer Information Inc. for the fiscal year of 2025 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 Pei-Dep Chen and I-Ching Liu.

Solicitors delegating proxy forms shall also bring identification documents for verification.
The shareholders (or proxies) attending the meeting shall wear attendance permits and surrender the attendance sign-in card in lieu of signing attendance sheet. The number of shares present shall be calculated based on the number registered in the attendance log or the attendance sign-in cards received from the shareholders in combination with the number of shares whose voting rights are exercised in writing or by electronic means.
The Company shall deliver the meeting manual, annual report, attendance permit, opinion slip, voting ballot and other meeting materials to the shareholders (or proxies) attending the Shareholders' Meeting. If Directors are to be elected, ballots shall also be provided.

Where the Chairman does not make such a designation, the Directors shall select one person from among themselves to act as chair.
When a Director serves as chair, as referred to in the preceding paragraph, the Director shall be the one who has held that position for six (6) months or more and who understands the financial and business conditions of the Company. The same shall be true for a representative of a juristic person Director who serves as chair.
