Parent Company Only Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and Independent Auditors’ Report
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders China Airlines, Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of China Airlines, Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the “parent company only financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended 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 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, 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 for the year ended December 31, 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 matter in the audit of the parent company only financial statements is stated below:
International Passenger Fare Revenue Recognition
In accordance with IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, passenger sales are accounted for as contract liabilities before relevant transportation services are provided. After providing the related services, contract liabilities are reclassified to passenger revenue. Refer to Notes 4 and 25 of the accompanying parent company only financial statements for related detailed information.
- 1 -
Since relevant sales can only be recognized after passengers have boarded the aircraft and unused tickets are subsequently reclassified as international passenger fare revenue, the revenue recognition process involves complex workflows. There is a risk that revenue may be recognized before performance obligations are fully satisfied. Accordingly, we identified international passenger fare revenue recognition as a key audit matter.
The main audit procedures that we performed included the following:
-
We understood and tested the internal control related to the process of revenue from international passenger fare, including manual and automatic control.
-
We understood and tested the effectiveness of the information system related to the recognition of international passenger fare revenue.
-
We sampled several flight tickets, which were used and recognized as revenue, to verify whether the boarding date matched the date recorded on the tickets from advanced sales of tickets, ensuring the occurrence of revenue recognition.
Other Matter - Audited by Other Independent Auditors
The parent company only financial statements of some investments accounted for using the equity method in Note 12 were audited by other independent auditors, and our audit opinion is based solely on the reports of other auditors. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the aforementioned investments accounted for using the equity method amounted to NT$4,791,799 thousand and NT$4,993,997 thousand, representing 1.49% and 1.68% of the total assets, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the combined share of profit (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method amounted to NT$1,618,249 thousand and NT$2,036,068 thousand, representing 10.09% and 14.88% of the total comprehensive income, respectively.
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 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 Company’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 the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
- 2 -
Auditors’ 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 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 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 Company’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 or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’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 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 disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of 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 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.
- 3 -
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 for the year ended December 31, 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 audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Kuan-Hao Lee and I-Chi Chien.

IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” and consequential amendments
IFRS 18 will supersede IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The main changes comprise:
-
To classify items of income and expenses presented in the statement of profit or loss into the operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations categories, the Company shall assess whether it has specified main business activities of investing in particular types of assets and providing financing to customers.
-
The statement of profit or loss shall present totals and subtotals for operating profit or loss, profit or loss before financing and income taxes and profit or loss.
-
Provides guidance to enhance the requirements of aggregation and disaggregation: The Company shall identify the assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows that arise from individual transactions or other events and shall classify and aggregate them into groups based on shared characteristics, so as to result in the presentation in the primary financial statements of line items that have at least one similar characteristic. The Company shall disaggregate items with dissimilar characteristics in the primary financial statements and in the notes. The Company labels items as “other” only if it cannot find a more informative label.
-
Disclosures on Management-defined Performance Measures (MPMs): When in public communications outside financial statements and communicating to users of financial statements management’s view of an aspect of the financial performance of the Company as a whole, the Company shall disclose related information about its MPMs in a single note to the financial statements, including the description of such measures, calculations, reconciliations to the subtotal or total specified by IFRS Accounting Standards and the income tax and non-controlling interests effects of related reconciliation items.
In addition, the following consequential amendments have been made to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”:
-
The Company shall use operating profit or loss as the starting point when presenting cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method.
-
12 -
-
Interest and dividends received by the Company shall be classified as investing activities, while interest and dividends paid shall be classified as financing activities. However, if, after assessment, the Company has a specific main operating activity, it shall determine how to classify dividends received, interest received and interest paid in the statement of cash flows by referring to how it classifies dividend income, interest income and interest expense in the statement of profit or loss. The total of each of these cash flows shall be classified in a single category in the statement of cash flows.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the parent company only financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company is continuously assessing other impacts of the above amended standards and interpretations on the Company’s financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.
4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
Statement of Compliance
The parent company only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and related regulations.
Basis of Preparation
The parent company only financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.
The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:
-
a. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
b. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
-
c. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
When preparing these parent company only financial statements, the Company used the equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. In order for the amounts of the net profit for the year, other comprehensive income for the year and total equity in the parent company only financial statements to be the same with the amounts attributable to the owners of the Company in its consolidated financial statements, adjustments arising from the differences in accounting treatments between the parent company only basis and the consolidated basis were made to investments accounted for using the equity method, the share of profit or loss of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, the share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures and the related equity items, as appropriate, in these parent company only financial statements.
Classification of Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities
Current assets include:
-
a. Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
b. Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and
-
13 -
-
c. Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Current liabilities include:
-
a. Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
b. Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; and
-
c. Liabilities for which the Company does not have the substantial right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
Foreign Currencies
In preparing the Company’s parent company only financial statements, the transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency (i.e., foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for exchange differences on:
-
a. Foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings; and
-
b. Transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks.
Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value is determined. Exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which case, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary item denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost is stated at the reporting currency as originally translated from the foreign currency.
For the purpose of presenting parent company only financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into New Taiwan dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
On the disposal of a foreign operation, all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.
Inventories
Inventories are primarily expendable and nonexpendable parts and materials, supplies used in operations and items for in-flight sales and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The costs of inventories sold or consumed are determined using the weighted-average method.
- 14 -
Non-current Assets Held for Sale
Non-current assets are classified as held-for-sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the non-current asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition. To meet the criteria for the sale being highly probable, the appropriate level of management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Such assets classified as held for sale are not depreciated.
Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method
The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures.
- a. Investment in subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity) that is controlled by the Company.
Under the equity method, an investment in a subsidiary is initially recognized at cost and adjusted therefore to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the subsidiary. The Company also recognizes the change in Company’s share of the other equity of the subsidiary.
Changes in the Company’s ownership interests in a subsidiary that do not result in the Company losing control of the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The Company recognizes directly in equity any difference between the carrying amounts of the investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received.
When the Company’s share of losses of a subsidiary exceeds its interest in that subsidiary (which includes any carrying amount of the investment accounted for using the equity method and long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Company’s net investment in the subsidiary), the Company continues recognizing its share of further losses, if any.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary that constitutes a business at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary that constitutes a business over the cost of acquisition is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
The Company assesses its investment for any impairment by comparing the carrying amount with the estimated recoverable amount as assessed based on the investee’s parent company only financial statements as a whole. Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases, the Company recognizes a reversal of the impairment loss; the adjusted post-reversal carrying amount should not exceed the carrying amount that would have been recognized (net of amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years. An impairment loss recognized on goodwill cannot be reversed in a subsequent period.
- 15 -
When the Company loses control of a subsidiary, it recognizes the investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost. The difference between the fair value of the retained investment plus any consideration received and the carrying amount of the previous investment at the date when control is lost is recognized as a gain or loss in profit or loss. Besides this, the Company accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required had the Company directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
Profit or loss resulting from downstream transactions is eliminated in full only in the parent company only financial statements. Profit and loss resulting from upstream transactions and transactions between subsidiaries is recognized only in the parent company only financial statements and only to the extent of interests in the subsidiaries that are not related to the Company.
b. Investments in associates and joint ventures
An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the Company and other parties that have joint control of the arrangement and the rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates and joint ventures. Under the equity method, investments in an associate and a joint venture are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate and joint venture. The Company also recognizes the changes in the Company’s share of equity of associates and joint ventures attributable to the Company.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of an associate and a joint venture recognized at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
When the Company subscribes for additional new shares of an associate and a joint venture at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Company’s proportionate interest in the associate and joint venture. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. If the Company’s ownership interest is reduced due to it additional subscription of the new shares of the associate and joint venture, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate and joint venture is reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required had the investee directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for using the equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.
When the Company’s share of losses of an associate and a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in that associate and joint venture (which includes any carrying amount of the investment accounted for using the equity method and long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Company’s net investment in the associate and joint venture), the Company discontinues recognizing its share of further loss. Additional losses and liabilities are recognized only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal obligations, or constructive obligations, or made payments on behalf of that associate and joint venture.
- 16 -
The entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
The Company discontinues the use of the equity method from the date on which its investment ceases to be an associate and a joint venture. Any retained investment is measured at fair value at that date and the fair value is regarded as the investment’s fair value on initial recognition as a financial asset. The difference between the previous carrying amount of the associate and joint venture attributable to the retained interest and its fair value is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal of the associate and joint venture. The Company accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate and joint venture on the same basis as would be required had that associate directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
When the Company transacts with its associate and joint venture, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate and joint venture are recognized in the Company’s parent company only financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate and the joint venture that are not related to the Company.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are tangible items that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes and are expected to be used for more than one period. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be recognized as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company; the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less recognized accumulated depreciation and recognized accumulated impairment loss.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. The impact of any changes in accounting estimates is accounted for on a prospective basis under IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”.
On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
Investment Properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation. Investment properties also include land held for a currently undetermined future use.
Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.
On derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is included in profit or loss.
- 17 -
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. The residual value of an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be assumed zero unless the Company expects to dispose of the intangible asset before the end of its economic life. The impact of any changes in accounting estimates is accounted for on a prospective basis under IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”.
Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment, Right-of-use Asset, Investment Properties and Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, right-of-use asset, investment properties and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to the individual cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis; otherwise, corporate assets are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the corresponding asset, cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized on the asset, cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
- a. Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are buy or sell of financial assets in the period set by regulation or market convention.
-
18 -
-
1) Measurement categories
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost, and investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI.
- a) Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when such a financial asset is mandatorily classified or designated as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at FVTOCI.
Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, and any remeasurement gains or losses on such financial assets are recognized in profit or loss. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 29.
- b) Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:
-
i. The financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
ii. The contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables and other financial assets, are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset.
Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
- c) Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI
On initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation as at FVTOCI is not permitted if an equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.
Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments; instead, they will be transferred to retained earnings.
Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
- 19 -
2) Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables and finance lease receivables).
The Company always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) for trade receivables, finance lease receivables and other receivables. For all other financial instruments, the Company recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.
Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECLs represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represents the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
The impairment loss of all financial assets is recognized in profit or loss by a reduction in their carrying amounts through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income and the carrying amounts of such financial assets are not reduced.
- 3) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss, and the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.
b. Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of an equity instrument.
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
The repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity, and its carrying amounts are calculated based on weighted average by share types. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.
c. Financial liabilities
1) Subsequent measurement
Except for derivative financial instruments, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
- 20 -
2) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
- d. Convertible bonds
The component parts of compound instruments (i.e., convertible bonds) issued by the Company are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
On initial recognition, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortized cost basis using the effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion or upon the instrument’s maturity date. Any embedded derivative liability is measured at fair value.
The conversion option classified as equity is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognized and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured. In addition, the conversion option classified as equity will remain in equity until the conversion option is exercised, in which case, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to capital surplus - share premiums. When the conversion option remains unexercised at maturity, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to capital surplus - share premiums.
Transaction costs that relate to the issuance of the convertible notes are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to the equity component are recognized directly in equity. Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component.
- e. Derivative financial instruments
The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate, foreign exchange rate and fuel price risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps, currency options, fuel options and swap.
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date on which the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event, the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedging relationship. When the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.
Derivatives embedded in hybrid contracts that contain financial asset hosts that is within the scope of IFRS 9 are not separated; instead, the classification is determined in accordance with the entire hybrid contract. Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are not financial assets that is within the scope of IFRS 9 (e.g., financial liabilities) are treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative; their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts; and the host contracts are not measured at FVTPL.
- 21 -
Hedge Accounting
The Company designates certain hedging instruments, which include derivatives and non-derivatives in respect of foreign currency risk, as cash flow hedges. When entering into hedging transactions, the Company has prepared official documents that describe the hedging relationship between hedging instruments and items which have been hedged, the objective of risk management, the hedging strategy, and the way to evaluate the effectiveness of the hedging instrument.
The effective portion of gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
The associated gains or losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified from equity to profit or loss as reclassification adjustments in the line items relating to the hedged item in the same period in which the hedged item affects profit or loss. If a hedge of a forecasted transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the associated gains and losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income are removed from equity and included in the initial cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability.
The Company discontinues hedge accounting only when the hedging relationship ceases to meet the qualifying criteria; for instance, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been previously recognized in other comprehensive income (from the period in which the hedge was effective) remains separately in equity until the forecasted transaction occurs. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gains or losses accumulated in equity are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Provisions
The Company recognizes provisions when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive obligation) arising from past events, the payment for the obligation is probable, and the expenditure for settling the obligation can be reliably estimated.
The amount recognized as a provision is measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured at the estimate of using the cash flows to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. When the aircraft lease contracts expire and the leased item will be returned to the lessor, the Company will assess if there are existing obligations exist and if a provision is required to be recognized when signing the lease contract.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue by applying the following steps:
-
Identifying the contract with the customer;
-
Identifying the performance obligations in the contract;
-
Determine the transaction price;
-
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
-
Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
Shipping service revenue
Passenger and cargo revenue are recognized as revenue when the passengers and goods are actually carried. When the tickets are sold, due to the fact that the fulfillment of performance obligations of the shipment have not been met, the relevant amount of revenue is initially recorded as contract liabilities until passengers actually board.
- 22 -
Maintenance service revenue
The Company provides maintenance services. As customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as the Company performs, revenue is recognized over time. The Company measures progress toward complete satisfaction of a performance obligation based on the proportion of actual maintenance costs incurred (including labor hours and materials consumed) to the total expected maintenance costs, and recognizes revenue and costs accordingly.
When recognizing revenue, if the revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed, the excess is recognized as a contract asset. When the Company has an unconditional right to consideration from the customer, the contract asset is reclassified to accounts receivable. If the amount billed exceeds the revenue recognized, the difference is recognized as a contract liability.
Leasing
At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
The Company as lessee
The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets, and less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the parent company only balance sheets.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms. However, if leases transfer ownership of the underlying assets to the Company by the end of the lease terms or if the costs of right-of-use assets reflect that the Company will exercise a purchase option, the Company depreciates the right-of-use assets from the commencement dates to the end of the useful lives of the underlying assets.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise fixed payments, in-substance fixed payments, variable lease payments which depend on an index or a rate, residual value guarantees, the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and payments of penalties for terminating a lease if the lease term reflects such termination, less any lease incentives payable. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate will be used.
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in a lease term, a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, a change in the assessment of an option to purchase an underlying asset, or a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, the Company remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use-assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the parent company only balance sheets.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
- 23 -
For sale and leaseback transactions, if the transfer of an asset satisfies the requirements of IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale, the Company recognizes only the amount of any gain or loss which relates to the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor, and adjusts the off-market terms to measure the sale proceeds at fair value. If the transfer does not satisfy the requirements of IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale, it is accounted for as a financing transaction.
Employee Benefits
- a. Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related services.
- b. Retirement benefits
Payments to the defined contribution retirement benefit plan are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.
Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost and past service cost) and net interest on the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.
Net defined benefit liabilities (assets) represent the actual deficit (surplus) in the Company’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
Other than that which is stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Frequent Flyer Programs
The Company has a “Dynasty Flyer Program” through which program members can convert accumulated mileage to a cabin upgrade, free tickets and other member rewards.
A portion of passenger revenue attributable to the rewards for the frequent flyer program is deferred. The Company should recognizes this deferred revenue as revenue only when the Company has fulfilled its obligations on the granting of rewards or when the period for converting the mileage to rewards has expired.
- 24 -
Income Tax
Income tax expense represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.
a. Current tax
The current tax liabilities are based on current taxable profit. Since part of the income and expenses are taxable or deductible in other periods, or in accordance with the relevant tax laws are taxable or deductible, current taxable profit differs from net profit reported in the parent company only statements of comprehensive income. The Company’s current tax liabilities are calculated by the tax rate was legislated or substantially legislated at the balance sheet date.
According to the Income Tax Act in the R.O.C Income Tax Law, an additional tax of unappropriated earnings is provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve the retain earnings.
Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.
b. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences, unused loss carryforwards and unused tax credits for purchases of machinery, equipment and technology, research and development expenditures, and personnel training expenditures to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates and interests in joint ventures, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profit against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liabilities are settled or the assets are realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
The Company has applied the exception from the recognition and disclosure of deferred tax assets and liabilities relating to Pillar Two income taxes. Accordingly, the Company neither recognizes nor discloses information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.

c. Current and deferred taxes
Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Maintenance and Overhaul Costs
Routine maintenance costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
The overhaul costs of an owned or leased aircraft that meet the criteria for fixed asset capitalization are capitalized as replacements for aircraft and engines and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the expected annual overhaul cycle.
5. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies as disclosed in Note 4, management is required to make judgments, estimations and assumptions on the carrying amounts that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that have a significant risk causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment - Flight Equipment
Flight equipment is measured at cost less residual value and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives and residual values are evaluated based on the Company’s historical experience and current usage condition in the aviation industry.
Because of the change in fleet planning to match the economic benefits with the useful lives, on March 8, 2024, the Company’s board of directors resolved to modify the estimated useful lives of eight B747-400F freighters from 24 years to 22 years and the estimated useful lives of two 80C2 engines from 8 years to 6 years, effective on May 1, 2024. The depreciation expense in 2024 increased by $679 million.

The Company designated some deposits denominated in USD and repurchase agreements collateralized by bonds as hedging instruments to avoid exchange rate fluctuations on final payments of aircraft orders and prepayments for equipment and applied cash flow hedge accounting to hedge its foreign exchange exposure. The contract information is as follows:
| Maturity Date | Subject | Carrying Value | Carrying Value | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| December | 31, | 2025 | - | Financial assets for hedging - current | $ | - |

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the amount of hedging instrument settlements recognized as prepayments for equipment were increased to $210,582 thousand and decreased to $36,900 thousand, respectively. Additionally, due to the amount of ineffectiveness of hedging recognized as foreign exchange gains were $0 thousand and $11,177 thousand, respectively.
7. FINANCIAL ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (FVTOCI)

- 27 -
These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for medium- to long-term strategic purposes and are expected to profit through long-term investment. Accordingly, the management elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as they believe that recognizing short-term fluctuations in these investments’ fair values in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Company’s strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes.
8. FINANCIAL ASSETS AT AMORTIZED COST

2024 $ 207,030 10,104,159 (228,310) 9,875,849 $ 10,082,879 |
The average credit period is 7 to 55 days. In determining the recoverability of an accounts receivable, the Company considers any change in the credit quality of the receivable since the date credit is initially granted to the end of the reporting period, and any allowance for impairment loss is based on the estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to the Company’s past default experience with the counterparty and an analysis of the counterparty’s current financial position. The Company adopts a policy of only dealing with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade or higher and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. Credit rating information is obtained from independent rating agencies where available or, if not available, the Company uses other publicly available financial information or its own trading records to rate its major customers. The Company’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the risk management committee annually.
- 28 -
The Company applies the simplified approach to allowing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of lifetime expected loss allowance for all account receivable. The expected credit losses on accounts receivable are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience with the debtors and an analysis of the debtors’ current financial position, adjusted for general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecasted direction of economic conditions at the reporting date. As the Company’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished according to the different segments of the Company’s customer base.
The Company writes off accounts receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is experiencing severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. For accounts receivable that have been written off, the Company continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the past due receivables. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.
The following table details the loss allowance of accounts receivable based on the Company’s provision matrix:
December 31, 2025
| Not Past Due Expected credit loss rate 0.28% Gross carrying amount $ 9,143,500 Loss allowance (lifetime ECLs) (25,263) Amortized cost $ 9,118,237 December 31, 2024 Not Past Due Expected credit loss rate 0.18% Gross carrying amount $ 9,776,451 Loss allowance (lifetime ECLs) (17,482) Amortized cost $ 9,758,969 |

11. NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
To enhance its competitiveness, the Company plans to introduce new aircraft and retire old aircraft according to a planned schedule. Such aircraft, classified as non-current assets held for sale, had an original carrying amount which was higher than the expected sale price and which was recognized as an impairment loss, and would be continuously assessed whether there are further impairments in subsequent periods. However, the actual loss shall be identified by the actual sale price. The Company recognized gain on reversal of impairment of $310,605 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The fair value measurement is classified as Level 3, and the fair value was determined according to similar transactions of the related markets. The proposed sale prices were based on the current status of the aircraft.
The Company disposed of the aircraft held for sale for the year ended December 31, 2024, and recognized a gain of $9,753 thousand.

The Company has control over Taoyuan International Airport Service, Taiwan Airport Service and Global Sky Express despite its ownership of less than 50%. Therefore, they were listed as subsidiaries.
To align with the listing of Tigerair Taiwan Co., Ltd. on the main board, the Company disposed of 36,745 thousand shares of Tigerair Taiwan Co., Ltd. in September 2024, with a disposal amount of $1,958,844 thousand. After the disposal, the Group’s comprehensive ownership percentage dropped to 71%. Since the transaction did not change the authority the Company has over the subsidiaries, it was treated as an equity transaction. The net asset carrying amount of the subsidiaries, in accordance with the change in relative equity, was transferred to non-controlling interests in the amount of $533,510 thousand. The difference between the actual disposal price of the subsidiary’s shares and the carrying amount was $1,425,334 thousand, which was recognized as an increase in capital reserve.
Additionally, Tigerair Taiwan Co., Ltd. applied for the listing of its shares on the main board on August 16, 2024, and the application was approved by the Taiwan Stock Exchange on September 13, 2024. To align with the public offering prior to the board transfer, Taiwan Tigerair’s board of directors approved a cash capital increase on September 27, 2024, with a total planned issuance of 10,530 thousand shares. In addition, due to relevant regulations, the Group did not participate in the cash capital increase; therefore, the Group’s comprehensive ownership percentage dropped to 69%. Because the shares were subscribed at a rate different from its existing ownership percentage, the Company’s capital surplus increased by $285,416 thousand. In addition, Tigerair Taiwan Co., Ltd. reserves 15% of the total issuances for employees to subscribe to in accordance with article 267, item 1 of the Company Act. As a result, the Company’s capital surplus increased by $43,216 thousand.

The Company adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (LPA), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, the Company makes monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.
b. Defined benefit plans
The defined benefit plans adopted by the Company in accordance with the Labor Standards Act is operated by the government of the ROC. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the 6 months before retirement. The Company contribute amounts equal to 15% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name. Before the end of each year, the Company assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Company is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (the “Bureau”); the Company has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Act, the Company is exposed to the following risks:
-
1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.
-
2) Interest risk: A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.
-
44 -
-
3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated using to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
| Discount rate Expected rate of salary increase |
December 31 |
|---|---|
| 2025 2024 1.34% 1.59% 2.00% 2.00% |
If possible reasonable changes in each of the significant actuarial assumptions occur and all other assumptions remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation will increase (decrease) as follows:
| Discount rate 0.25% increase 0.25% decrease Expected rate of salary increase 0.5% increase 0.5% decrease |
December 31 | December 31 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 $ (303,029) $ 319,864 $ 606,058 $ (572,388) |
2024 $ (314,084) $ 330,614 $ 628,167 $ (595,106) |
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that changes in assumptions will occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
| Expected contributions to the plan for the next year Average duration of the defined benefit obligation |

The Company may settle the compensation of employees in cash or shares; therefore, the Company assumes that the entire amount of the compensation will be settled in shares, and the resulting potential shares will be included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares was included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the number of shares to be distributed to employees is resolved in the following year.
28. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The capital structure of the Company consists of net debt (borrowings offset by cash and cash equivalents) and equity of the Company (comprising issued capital, reserves, retained earnings and other equity items).
To support operating activities and purchase of aircraft, the Company needs to maintain sufficient capital. Therefore, the goal of capital management is to ensure that financial resources and operating plan is able to support the future working capital, capital expenditures, debt repayment, dividend payments and other needs in the next 12 months.

| Carrying Amount Fair Value $ 6,069,339 $ 6,616,629 |
Lease liabilities and long-term borrowings are floating-rate financial liabilities, so their carrying amounts are their fair values. Fair values of bonds payable trading in OTC are based on quoted market prices (Level 1).
- b. Fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:
-
1) Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
2) Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
-
3) Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

- 4) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 2 fair value measurement
Financial Instrument Valuation Techniques and Inputs
Derivatives The fair values of derivatives (except for options) have been determined based on discounted cash flow analyses using interest yield curves applicable for the duration of the derivatives. The estimates and assumptions that the Company used to determine the fair values are identical to those used in the pricing of financial instruments for market participants.
- 5) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 3 fair value measurement
The fair values of fuel options and swap are determined using option pricing models. Changes in the implied fluctuations used in isolation would result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of the fuel options and swap.
The domestic and foreign unlisted equity investment are based on the comparative company valuation to estimate the fair value. The main assumptions are based on the multiplier of the market price of the comparable listed company and the net value per share, which have considered the liquidity discount. The higher the multiplier or the lower the liquidity discount, the higher the fair value of the relevant financial instruments.
The multiplier and liquidity discount of financial instruments based on Level 3 fair value measurement were as follows:
| Liquidity | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Multiplier | Discount | |||
| December | 31, | 2025 | 0.91 | 80% |

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company has risk management and hedging strategies to respond to changes in the economic and financial environment and in the fuel market. To reduce the financial risks from changes in interest exchange rates and in fuel prices, the Company has its operating costs stay within a specified range by using appropriate financial hedging instruments and hedging percentages in accordance with the “Processing Program of Derivative Financial Instrument Transactions” approved by the Company’s shareholders to reduce the impact of market price changes on earnings. These risks include market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
- 58 -
In addition, the Company has a risk committee, which meets periodically to evaluate the performance of derivative instruments and determine the appropriate hedging percentage. The committee informs the Company of global economic and financial conditions, controls the entire financial risk resulting from changes in the financial environment and fuel prices, and develops the strategy and response to avoid financial risk with the assistance of financial risk experts to effect risk management.
1) Market risk
The Company is primarily exposed to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company entered into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts, foreign currency option contracts, and interest swap contracts with fair values that are highly negatively correlated to the fair values of hedged items and evaluates the hedging effectiveness of these instruments periodically.
a) Foreign currency risk
The Company enters into foreign currency option contracts to hedge against the risks on change in related exchange rates, enters into forward contracts to hedge against the risks on changes in foreign-currency assets, liabilities and commitments in the related exchange rates.
Sensitivity analysis
The Company was mainly exposed to the U.S. dollar.
An increase/decrease in U.S. dollars one dollar against New Taiwan dollars when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items at the end of the reporting period for U.S. dollars increase/decrease by one dollar against New Taiwan dollars in foreign currency rates.
When New Taiwan dollars increased by one dollar against U.S. dollars and all other variables were held constant, there would be an increase in pre-tax profit and an increase in pre-tax other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2025 of $305,809 thousand and $1,258,743 thousand, respectively; and a decrease in pre-tax profit and an increase in pre-tax other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2024 of $362,073 thousand and $1,143,402 thousand, respectively.
The Company’s hedging strategy is to enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to avoid exchange rate exposure of its foreign currency denominated receipts and payments and to manage exchange rate exposure of its aircraft are designated as cash flow hedges. When forecasted purchases actually take place, basis adjustments are made to the initial carrying amounts of hedged items.
For the hedges of highly probable aircraft prepayments, as the critical terms (i.e., the notional amount, useful life and underlying asset) of the foreign exchange forward contracts and their corresponding hedged items are the same. The Company performs a qualitative assessment of the effectiveness. The value of the foreign exchange forward contracts and the value of the corresponding hedged items are expected to change systematically in the opposite direction in response to movements in the underlying exchange rates.

b) Interest rate risk
The Company enters into interest swap contracts to hedge against the risks on change in interest rates of long-term borrowings. The Company was exposed to interest rate risk because the Company borrowed funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings and using interest rate swap contracts.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows:
| Fair value interest rate risk Cash flow interest rate risk |
**December 31 ** |
|---|---|
| 2025 2024 $ 48,192,325 $ 47,689,067 88,102,953 77,002,436 |
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the Company’s exposure to interest rates for both derivatives and non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A one yard (25 basis points) increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
Had interest rates increased by one yard (25 basis points) and all other variables been held constant, the Company’s pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have decreased by $220,257 thousand and $192,506 thousand, respectively.

2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Company. The Company’s credit risk primarily comes from accounts receivable generated from operating activities and bank deposits generated from investing activities, fixed income investments and other financial instruments, operation related credit risk and financial credit risk are managed separately.
- 63 -
Operation - related credit risk
The Company has established procedures to manage operations related credit risk to maintain the quality of accounts receivable.
To assess the risk of individual customers, the Company consider into the financial condition of the customers, the credit rating agency rating, the Company’s internal credit rating, transaction history and current economic conditions and many other factors that may affect the repayment. Sometimes, the Company uses certain credit enhancement tools to reduce the credit risk of specific customers.
Since the customers of the aviation industry are dispersed and non-related, the credit risk concentration is not critical.
Financial credit risk
Credit risk on bank deposits, fixed income investments and other financial instruments are measured and monitor by the Company’s finance department. The Company’s trading partners and other parties are well-performing banks and financial institutions, corporations, and government agencies, and so the risk of counterparties failing to discharge an obligation is low; therefore, there is no significant credit risk.
Endorsements given by the Company on behalf of its subsidiaries can be found in Note 30(h).
3) Liquidity risk
The objective of the Company’s management of liquidity is to maintain cash and cash equivalents sufficient for operating purposes, marketable securities with high liquidity and loan commitments that are sufficient to ensure that the Company has adequate financial flexibility.
Liquidity and interest rate risk table
The following table shows the remaining contractual maturity analysis of the Company’s financial liabilities with agreed-upon repayment periods, which were based on the date the Company may be required to pay the first repayment and financial liabilities is evaluated based on undiscounted cash flows, including cash flows of interest and principal.
Bank loans with a repayment on demand clause were included in the second column of the table below regardless of whether or not the banks would choose to exercise early their rights to repayment. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed-upon repayment dates. The Company’s liquidity analysis for its derivative financial instruments is also shown in the following table. The table was based on the undiscounted contractual net cash inflows and outflows on derivative instruments that settle on a net basis, and the undiscounted gross cash inflows and outflows on those derivatives that require gross settlement. When the amount payable or receivable is not fixed, the amount disclosed has been determined by reference to the projected interest rates as illustrated by yield curves at the end of the reporting period.
