Attachment I. 2025 Business report
Bora Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd.
2025 Business report
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the management team, I am pleased to present Bora Pharmaceuticals’ 2025 Annual Report and share an overview of the Group’s operating performance and strategic direction.
The past year was marked by significant shifts in the global economic and supply chain landscape, driven by evolving U.S. policy dynamics, rapid advances in artificial intelligence, and heightened geopolitical uncertainty. Across industries, companies strengthened their resilience to navigate this volatility and protect their long-term competitiveness.
For Bora, these external forces coincided with an important phase in our development as an emerging CDMO platform integrating multiple acquisitions. We faced immediate challenges from currency fluctuations, tariff changes, and shifts in U.S. pharmaceutical pricing policies. Despite these headwinds, we remained firmly committed to our dual-engine strategy — CDMO and Pharma Sales (operated by Upsher-Smith)– and delivered close to NT$20 billion in revenue with sustained profitability. Importantly, without undertaking any new financing activities, we significantly improved operating cash flow and maintained a healthy cash position, reinforcing the strength of our strategic direction.
While the road ahead remains challenging, we will continue to execute with rigor, agility, and speed, steadily advancing our financial and operational objectives and demonstrating to the market the resilience and growth potential of our dual-engine model.
Advancing Value Transformation
Our core philosophy remains the creation of long-term value through disciplined transformation. In 2025, we advanced this commitment by refining our portfolio and
strengthening the strategic focus of our key business units to better serve patients, partners, and the communities we touch.
We repositioned Upsher-Smith’s generics business toward U.S. specialty distribution channels and rare disease therapies, with early traction in building a pediatric neurology portfolio. This move goes beyond financial optimization; it marks a deliberate yet thoughtful evolution of a century-old brand as it continues to grow with the market and expand into areas of greater clinical impact.
In parallel, and in response to the U.S. manufacturing reshoring trend, we separated the Maple Grove facility from Upsher-Smith to operate as an independent CDMO site. This clearer supply-chain specialization strengthens our ability to collaborate with multinational pharmaceutical partners. These efforts have already yielded results: earlier this year, Bora secured a five-year CDMO contract renewal with GSK, expanding supply beyond the original Canada site to multiple Bora sites across different dosage forms. This milestone underscores Bora’s growing capability as a global partner supporting cross-regional supply-chain resilience and marks a new chapter in our expanding collaboration with GSK.
Execution as Competitive Advantage
Reflecting on 2025, Bora has solidified its position as a trusted outsourcing partner in pharmaceutical commercialization, recognized internationally for consistent execution discipline and uncompromising quality.
Our cross-disciplinary adoption of new technologies has reinforced a clear conclusion: in the next era of biopharmaceutical manufacturing, competitive advantage will depend not only on innovation, but on the reliability of execution. In the coming year, we will strategically invest in AI initiatives, leveraging our accumulated operational data to optimize manufacturing efficiency and proactively predict quality deviations. Our goal is to deliver lower-risk, higher-value outcomes for our partners and strengthen Bora’s role as a dependable global CDMO platform with the courage to innovate and the discipline to deliver.
Strengthening Global Capital Market Presence and ESG Commitment
In the capital markets, Bora achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first Taiwanese company to launch a U.S. Level 1 ADR program. This accomplishment reflects our commitment to financial transparency and positions Bora more prominently within global capital markets. Beyond enhancing shareholder liquidity and information disclosure, the ADR program represents a critical step toward becoming a truly global pharmaceutical group with a broader, more engaged investor base.
We also advanced our sustainability agenda across Environmental (E), Social (S), and Governance (G) dimensions. In 2025, all manufacturing sites established net-zero targets for the first time, and selected sites initiated plans to adopt Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) standards.
On the social front, we continued to invest in community engagement and advocacy. Upsher-Smith supported the TSC Alliance to raise awareness of pediatric neurological diseases. The Bora Wei-En Sheng Foundation launched mental health and educational programs for adolescents, and our long-standing partnership with Red Nose Doctors continued to bring emotional support to children with rare diseases and their families.
We believe that medicine is only the beginning. Even when treatment meets patients' medical needs, patients and families still face emotional, social, and practical challenges that require understanding and support. Through the collective strength of our global workforce, we are committed to contributing meaningfully to global health and to standing with the communities we serve.
Looking Ahead
Geopolitical forces continue to reshape regional economic structures, creating a "new normal" defined by persistent volatility. While these fluctuations will continue to influence the biopharmaceutical industry, we expect downstream demand to gradually stabilize and for more favorable industry conditions will emerge over time.
Throughout 2025, Bora pursued a disciplined integration and transformation strategy to establish a solid foundation for sustainable growth. As we move forward,
18
we will continue to rely on the unity, dedication, and professionalism of our global team as we advance toward becoming a globally recognized CDMO platform and deliver long-term value for our shareholders with confidence, purpose, and momentum.
On behalf of the Board and management team, I thank you for your continued trust and support.
I. Operational Highlights of 2025
(I) Progress Report
Bora Group continued its trajectory of steady growth across both its CDMO and commercial businesses. In fiscal year 2025, consolidated revenue reached NT$19.01 billion, representing a $9.11\%$ increase from NT$17.42 billion in the previous year. Net income attributable to the parent company is NT$2.98 billion, a $22.61\%$ year-over-year decrease from NT$3.85 billion. This decrease is mainly due to the operational restructuring and generic product portfolio optimization.

In 2025, Bora Group's CDMO business continued to make big strides, adding 24 new molecules and 117 new launches. Our manufacturing sites remain integrated and aligned to support the commercialization of U.S. market-bound products within the group.
For the pharma sales, the promotion on the patent protected rare disease drug VIGAFYDETM and the optimization of product portfolio aim to unlock the future growth potential and increase the overall profitability. In 2025, the Company's $100\%$ owned subsidiary TWi Pharmaceutical has received US FDA's approval for Cyclosporine Ophthalmic Emulsion, an ophthalmic drug for patients with dry eye syndrome. We will continue to focus on and concentrate on high-value R&D projects by integrating group resources.
(V) Corporate Social Responsibility and Industry Recognition
At Bora, we believe that it is our mission to contribute to better health all over the world. In the pursuit of combating diseases and alleviating suffering, we find deeper meaning in our business. We take great pride in the impact of our work and remain committed to delivering meaningful change in patients' lives through rigorous manufacturing standards, stringent quality control, and the highest ethical principles. Rooted in Taiwan and expanding globally, we embrace our corporate responsibility by aligning our core values with our competitive strengths. We are dedicated to sustainable, profitable
growth, striving to make medicines made-by-Bora recognized worldwide.
In 2025, we stood out from global CDMO competitors and were awarded as the best new or transforming CDMO company in the Outsourced Pharma Leadership Awards. We are the first Taiwanese pharmaceutical company to win this award in its 14-year history. In addition, we also won the "Overall Biotech Company of the Year" award in the Biotech Breakthrough Awards. Our continuous practice of sustainable development has been recognized by the World Finance Sustainability Award. Last year, we won the "Most Representative M&A Award" and the "M&A Award for Mid-sized Enterprises" in the most authoritative M&A awards in Taiwan. This fully demonstrates our outstanding achievements in M&A strategy and global market layout.

Continuous Integration of portfolio, technology platform, geography offerings and organizations to accelerate growth in 2025
Following its successful expansion into the US market in 2024, Bora adopted a robust "value transformation" strategy in 2025 in response to the new Trump administration. In response to international exchange rate fluctuations, it established Bora Global Ltd. in the British Virgin Islands to create a group-wide currency hedging mechanism. To unleash capital potential, optimize its pharmaceutical profit mix and internal specialization, it rapidly conducted post-acquisition restructuring. By introducing new AI technologies, it aims to build a more reliable and efficient business environment for the life sciences industry, thus initiating a new phase of growth in 2026.
(II) Expected Sales Volume and Its Basis
The company's sales plan is formulated based on contract agreements, historical sales records, and market dynamics. For fiscal
21
year 2025, we anticipate steady growth in our revenue targets.
(III) Key Production and Sales Strategies
1. International Contract Development and Manufacturing (CDMO) Services
Bora’s CDMO business primarily focuses on contract manufacturing for leading global pharmaceutical companies. Our CDMO facilities are certified by regulatory authorities across the U.S., U.K., EU, and Japan, ensuring high-quality operations cross offerings. Our capabilities include nasal sprays, oral solid dosage forms, liquid formulations, topical semi-solid preparations, and aseptic fill-finish products. Following the integration of our U.S. sterile injectable facility last year and the strategic alliance with Tanvex, Bora has expanded both its formulation capabilities (Scope) and large-scale manufacturing capacity (Scale). This enables us to efficiently serve and address the needs of customers in North America—the world’s largest pharmaceutical market—by providing localized production and end-to-end CDMO solutions. We remain committed to strengthening our technological capabilities through strategic investments in equipment upgrades and cutting-edge innovations. Leveraging our established technology platform, Bora will continue to drive growth momentum and create long-term value for our customers.
2. Strategic Partnerships (In-Licensing & Out-Licensing)
Bora Group is committed to long-term, mutually beneficial partnerships with international pharmaceutical companies through strategic collaborations. Our success is driven by our ability to identify and secure high-value in-licensing and out-licensing opportunities. In recent years, Bora has actively pursued the acquisition and in-licensing of established, commercially viable products as well as high-growth potential pipeline assets—both domestically and internationally. We expect to continue to expand our global footprint and market penetration.
3. Globalized Pharmaceutical Commercialization Services
Bora’s state-of-the-art laboratories ensures seamless analytical integration with global industry standards. Our R&D team brings deep expertise in development of generics, new dosage forms, and regulatory compliance. With a comprehensive understanding of international pharmaceutical regulations and global market trends, Bora is a trusted
22
partner for multinational pharmaceutical companies. We provide end-to-end support in cross-border drug development, regulatory submissions, and market entry strategies, maximizing the success of our partners in achieving swift and efficient commercialization.
III. Future Corporate Development Strategy
(I) Leveraging data computing power to establish a one-stop service capability for outsourcing the entire process from preclinical to commercial mass production
The Group has nine production site worldwide, with a total annual production of 2.5 billion doses. The number of overseas employees have exceeded the number of domestic employees. In addition, the subsidiary TWi Pharmaceuticals, possesses high-barrier-to-entry drug R&D technology and has successfully commercialized specialty generic drugs and 505B2 new dosage forms with high market potential, along with strong US know-how on pharmaceutical regulations, market competition and technology analysis, and strong market competitiveness. With the North American market as its base, it has a full international competitive advantage. In addition, the CDMO has accumulated an ample database and will strategically invest in AI projects this year. By leveraging its past strengths in execution, it will be able to assist more clients from preclinical development to quality manufacturing, using computing power to reduce decision-making risks for clients. The global cross-regional production base layout can provide clients with cross-regional launch services, which will build a closer partnership business model, enhance Bora’s industrial competitiveness and expand subsequent economic benefits.
(II) Establish a CDMO Platform with Comprehensive Technologies and Offerings to Cover Diverse Dosage Forms
From Baltimore site to Canada site, Bora incorporates multiple production facilities to support a broad spectrum of dosage forms, including tablets, oral liquids, nasal sprays, and semi-solid
23
formulations such as gels, creams, and ointments, we have strengthened our capacity to provide end-to-end CDMO services in North America. Additionally, in Taiwan, our Tainan, Zhunan, Zhongli, Taoyuan sites and Tanvex offer a diverse range of formulation lines to meet the evolving needs of global clients. As one of Taiwan's largest pharmaceutical manufacturers, Bora has established a fully integrated CDMO network that covers major international markets, enabling seamless, time-zone-aligned CDMO services. To further solidify our position as a leading global CDMO, Bora will continue vertical and horizontal integrations, invest in cutting-edge technologies, and expand both formulation capabilities (Scope) and large-scale production capacity (Scale) to enhance our competitiveness in the international pharmaceutical market.
(III) Expanding Global Services with Taiwan as a Strategic Hub
The global pharmaceutical industry is on a steady growth trajectory, yet Taiwan's pharmaceutical sector faces structural challenges, including an oversaturated domestic market, rigid national health insurance pricing policies, and intense low-cost competition. Transitioning into a truly globalized pharmaceutical company remains a challenge for many Taiwan-based manufacturers. Bora is committed to overcoming these barriers by adopting a synergistic M&A strategy, ensuring that 1+1 is greater than 2 in every acquisition. With the successful establishment of our CDMO facility in the U.S. and high-value specialty drug distribution channels, we have strengthened our international competitiveness and established a foothold in U.S. local manufacturing policies and pharmaceutical supply chains. As global manufacturing policies and trade regulations continue to evolve, Bora will leverage its experience and competitive advantages to facilitate greater international expansion for Taiwan-based pharmaceutical companies. By connecting Taiwanese manufacturers with global markets, we aim to enhance Taiwan's presence in the international pharmaceutical industry and contribute to the sector's long-term global success.
24
IV. Impact of External Competitive, Regulatory, and Macroeconomic Factors
The global pharmaceutical industry is shaped by several key factors influencing supply, demand, and long-term market growth:
- The Acceleration of Global Aging Trends
According to United Nations, the global population is expected to reach 9.15 billion by 2050, with 16% aged 65 and above. This demographic shift will drive increased demand for medications targeting age-related and chronic diseases, expanding the market for specialized treatments.
- Continued Steady Growth in the Global Pharmaceutical Market
As reported by IQVIA, the global pharmaceutical market reached $1.75 trillion in 2024, reflecting a 8.89% increase from $1.6 trillion in 2023. The pharmaceutical industry is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5% from 2025 to 2029. In the generics sector, governments worldwide continue to promote affordable, high-quality generics as a strategy to reduce healthcare costs and restore fiscal balance. The combination of rising aging populations, economic uncertainties in Western markets, and cost-containment policies has reinforced government initiatives to increase adoption of generics over high-cost branded medications. In accordance to Precedence Research’s report, the global generic drug market was approximately US$464.98 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach US$776.78 billion by 2033, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. North America is the largest market for generic drugs, accounting for approximately 34.69%, and its future growth rate is projected to reach 8%.
To align with market changes and evolving demand, Bora group will pivot toward capitalizing on selective portfolio composed of high-performing products but at the same time diversifying end markets and sales footprint to ensure growth.
Bora continues to pursue accretive M&A opportunities, targeting high-
25
growth sectors in and for the right market. With in-house, captive manufacturing facilities, a dedicated sales network, and extensive post-merger integration experience, we are well-positioned to transition acquired portfolio into in-house production, and hence to improve overall margin profile, time-to-market, and utilization rate and supply chain resilience. Furthermore, high-quality standards and ramp up capability of our CDMO business provide a solid foundation for our commercial operations, enabling seamless market expansion and broader distribution reach. We firmly believe that our dual-engine strategy—CDMO and commercial—generates abundant synergy, reinforcing Bora’s competitive edge in M&A execution and long-term market leadership.

Convener of the Audit Committee: Ming-Jung Lai
March 11, 2026
Attachment III: 2025 Financial Statements (including Consolidated Financial Statements) and Independent Auditors' Report
Independent Auditors' Report
To BORA PHARMACEUTICALS CO., LTD.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BORA PHARMACEUTICALS CO., LTD. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the summary of material accounting policies (together "the consolidated financial statements").
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter — Making Reference to the Audit of Component Auditors section of our report), the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and their consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statements Auditing and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the "Norm"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, 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 2025 consolidated financial statements. 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.
28
29
Valuation for inventories
As of December 31, 2025, the Company and its subsidiaries' net inventories amounted to NT$3,410,446 thousand, and constituted 8% of total consolidated assets, which were material to the consolidated financial statements. Considering the market demand and possible sales, management evaluated the obsolescence of raw materials, work in progress, and semi-finished goods by inventories aging.
Since the expiration date would affect sales of inventories, management evaluated the obsolescence of merchandise inventories and finished goods based on the expiration date of the goods. Due to the complexity in calculating the net realizable value of inventories, we therefore determined allowance for inventories valuation losses as a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to, the following: understanding and testing the effectiveness of internal controls over inventories established by management; assessing the net realizable value used for valuation estimated by management, including testing the accuracy of inventories aging and expiration date on a sampling basis, observing the physical count to confirm the quantity and status of inventories, and analyzing inventories movement; considering the market demand and evaluating the analysis and assessment of slow-moving and obsolete inventories made by management, including the possibility of the sales of inventories and the net realizable value estimations; and recalculating the allowance for inventories valuation loss. We also assessed the adequacy of disclosure of inventories in Notes IV and VI to the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company and its subsidiaries recognized NT$19,014,169 thousand as revenues, mainly coming from contract development and manufacturing (CDMO) service, generic, brand, and over-the-counter (OTC) drug distribution and sales of consumer healthcare products. As timing of revenue recognition varies among contract terms with customers, which involved management's significant judgment, we have determined this as a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures therefore include, but not limited to, evaluating and testing the internal control design and implementation effectiveness of the sales cycle that are relevant to the timing of revenue recognition; selecting samples to perform detailed testing of sales revenue transactions, and reviewing major terms in customer orders and conditions, and check the relevant transaction certificates to check the timing of revenue recognition; perform a cut-off point test for a period before and after the balance sheet date to confirm that the Company and its subsidiaries recognizes revenue in the correct period; and review whether there is any significant turnaround in operating revenue after the balance sheet date.
We also assessed the adequacy of disclosures of revenue recognition. Please refer to Notes IV and VI to the consolidated financial statements.
30
Other Matter—Making Reference to the Audit of Component Auditors
We did not audit the financial statements of certain investee companies accounted for using the equity method. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinions expressed herein are based solely on the audit reports of the other auditors. These investee companies accounted for using the equity method amounted to NT$4,846,672 thousand, which represented 11% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2025, and the related shares of loss from those investees in the amount of NT$(466,689) thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025, which represented (13)% of the consolidated income before income tax, and the related shares of other comprehensive loss from those investees in the amount of NT$(11,864) thousand, which represented 2% of the consolidated total comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2025.
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 requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China and for such internal control as management determines is 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 the ability to continue as a going concern of the Company and its subsidiaries, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company and its subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including audit committee or supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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 Standards on Auditing of 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 in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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.
-
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 internal control of the Company and its subsidiaries.
-
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 or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability to continue as a going concern of the Company and its subsidiaries. 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 auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the consolidated 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 the Company 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.
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, 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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's 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.
Other
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion including an Other Matter Paragraph on the parent company only financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Independent Auditors' Report
To BORA PHARMACEUTICALS CO., LTD.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of BORA PHARMACEUTICALS CO., LTD. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including the summary of material accounting policies (together “the parent company only financial statements”).
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter — Making Reference to the Audit of Component Auditors section of our report), the parent company only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. 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 the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the “Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, 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 2025 parent company only financial statements. 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.
38
39
Revenue Recognition
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized NT$1,178,203 thousand as revenues, mainly from sales of consumer healthcare products and contract development and manufacturing (CDMO). As timing of revenue recognition varies among contract terms with customers, which involved management's significant judgment, we therefore determined this a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures therefore include, but are not limited to, evaluating and testing the internal control design and implementation effectiveness of the sales cycle that are relevant to the timing of revenue recognition; selecting samples to perform tests of details of sales revenue transactions, and reviewing the significant terms and conditions of customer orders, and check the relevant transaction certificates to check the timing of revenue recognition; perform a cut-off point test for a period before and after the balance sheet date to confirm that the Company recognized revenue in the correct period; and review whether there is any significant reversal in operating revenue subsequent to the balance sheet date.
We also assessed the adequacy of disclosures of revenue recognition. Please refer to Notes IV and VI to the parent company only financial statements.
Other Matter—Making Reference to the Audit of Component Auditors
We did not audit the financial statements of certain associates and joint ventures under the equity method. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinions expressed herein are based solely on the audit reports of the other auditors. These associates and joint ventures under the equity method amounted to NT$4,846,672 thousand, which represented 15% of total assets as of December 31, 2025; the related shares of loss from the associates and joint ventures under the equity method amounted to NT$(466,689) thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025, which represented (15)% of the income before income tax; the related shares of other comprehensive loss from the associates and joint ventures under the equity method amounted to NT$(11,864) thousand, which represented 2% of the comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2025.
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 parent company only financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is 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 the ability to continue as a going concern of the Company, 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 audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s 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 Standards on Auditing of 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 in the aggregate, 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 the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
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.
-
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 internal control of the Company.
-
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 or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability to continue as a going concern of the Company. 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
40
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's 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.

At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the chair or a person designated by the chair shall first announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders, followed by a poll of the shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for each proposal, based on the numbers of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be entered into the MOPS.
