- 2026 Business Project Summary
(1) 2026 Business Target and Business Outlook
After experiencing trade tariff frictions and policy transitions in 2025, the global economy has demonstrated stronger resilience than expected. The main themes for 2026 will be the parallel trends of "monetization of technology dividends" and "geopolitical fragmentation." The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised its 2026 global economic growth forecast to 3.3%, indicating that the world has gradually emerged
from the shadows of high interest rates and high inflation. In 2026, the United States successfully achieved a soft landing, benefiting from the substantive contribution of AI infrastructure and a recovery in corporate investment, with the economic growth rate expected to increase slightly to 2.4%. Mainland China, the world's second-largest economy, is facing a structural transformation. Although aftershocks in the real estate sector persist, growth is being maintained through "Sovereign AI" and high-end manufacturing exports, with the economic growth rate projected to be 4.5% in 2026. Under the leadership of the Sanae Takaichi government, Japan is striving to achieve a balance between interest rate hike pressures and fiscal stimulus, with the economic growth rate projected to be between 0.8% and 1.1%. As the engine of Asia and the fastest-growing major economy, India has benefited from the "de-risking" of global supply chains, with its economic growth rate remaining at a high level between 6.7% and 6.9%. Supported by the central bank's continuous interest rate cuts and the energy transition, the Eurozone's economic performance is mediocre but stable, with an estimated economic growth rate of 1.2%.
In 2026, the notebook (NB) market has entered a substantive product replacement period and a supply chain transition period. AI PCs will become mainstream (with a penetration rate exceeding 50%), and their share of global shipments this year is expected to reach 55%–60%. However, this year has seen a surge in component prices caused by tight supply and demand for memory and CPUs. This cost pressure has also forced NB brand manufacturers to increase the selling prices of end products, which in turn affects consumers' willingness to replace their devices. Under these unfavorable factors, global notebook shipments in 2026 are estimated to decrease by approximately 5.4% (approximately 173 million units) compared to 2025.
The smart home equipment market remains in a rapid growth stage; the global smart home equipment market size was approximately USD 145.4 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow by 18% to USD 171.6 billion in 2026. The smart home market in 2026 is in a pivotal inaugural year, evolving from "connectivity" to "generative automation," meaning that AI is shifting from responding to passive commands to providing proactive agency.
The Company has long operated three major business divisions—Keyboards, Imaging, and Power—and possesses a diversified product portfolio. In the PC segment, the increasing penetration rate of AI PCs will drive shipments of high-end backlit keyboards. Furthermore, in addition to the existing laptop brand market, the Keyboard division also places particular emphasis on growth in the retail market. Products in the retail market are mostly high-unit-price 2-in-1 tablet devices or gaming keyboards, which have a significant positive impact on revenue. In the Imaging business, the Company continues to expand its presence in Edge AI, focusing on the development of Edge AI Vision Solutions. By combining Edge AI with VLM (Vision Language Models), cameras are transformed from providing simple "monitoring" to "understanding" user instructions and "replying with effective information." With enhanced AI enablement, Edge AI Vision Solutions can be widely applied to various fields such as smart security, smart fleet management, smart factories, smart healthcare, and outdoor tracking photography. With the global explosion in AI infrastructure development, the demand for edge devices is expected to grow, becoming another major driver for the Company's

operational growth. Subsidiary Chicony Power Technology has been the world's largest supplier of notebook power supplies since 2017, and its smart environmental control systems, which it has been actively developing in recent years, have also entered the AI data center infrastructure application market. Compared to industry giants investing large-scale capital to compete, Chicony Power utilizes leveraged strategic alliance opportunities through a "virtual vertical integration" cooperation model to accelerate the introduction of differentiated technologies and market expansion. Related projects, such as those for AI high-power supplies, server power supplies, and telecom power products, are expected to make a significant contribution this year. In addition to maintaining its leading position in the NB power supply market with a market share of approximately 40%–50%, the server power supply segment, although currently accounting for a relatively low proportion of business, already possesses definite growth potential. Revenue from smart building solutions is also forecast to see significant growth, and these factors will become important growth engines for the power business. Another subsidiary, MTI, primarily produces network communication products such as digital audio/video devices, broadband communication equipment, wireless products, and AIoT devices. It is also actively entering the field of AI optical edge computing robotics. Its new military and defense products have the greatest growth potential and are expected to become a new engine for revenue and profit.
In 2026, the management team of the Company will remain highly confident to actively face the rapid changes in the industry and external challenges and to integrate resources of the group. In addition to the research, development and sales of niche products like original keyboards, digital image, and power supply, non-PC products, such as gaming, server, smart home and low earth orbit satellite system, are able to enter markets with potential and application areas with high value-added as these products have stable growth. With the support of these high value-added products, the revenues and profits of the Company also share a stable growth simultaneously. In addition to the market analysis made by the aforementioned major research institutions, the Company also takes production planning and the operating performance in the past into consideration based on the estimated demands of customers. It is estimated that the number of product sale for PC peripheral devices, digital image, consumer electronic products, and other electronic products of the Company will be 180.2 million, and the number of PC peripheral devices, game consoles, and network communication and other electronic products of subsidiaries Chicony Power Technology and XAVi Technologies Corporation is 136 million and 6.5 million respectively.

| (3) After in-depth internal discussions, we have established that our climate and natural capital strategy will be consistent with the context of scenario "Ahead of The Game". However, if the overall economic environment and policy planning tend towards conservatism or passivity, it may develop towards scenario "Sand in The Gears". To this end, we construct appropriate scenario assumptions to simulate the impacts of significant risks and opportunities identified in the previous section under the corresponding scenarios. | ||||
| (4) After constructing the background assumptions, reference the socio-economic pathways that align with the contextual assumptions to strengthen the background parameters, including relevant macroeconomic parameters such as population, economic growth, and globalization. Additionally, specific influencing drivers (for example: climate change) should be addressed using corresponding scenarios. | ||||

| 7. If internal carbon pricing is used as a planning tool, the basis for price setting should be stated. | In 2023, the Company projected future carbon prices based on the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) scenarios. Following the 'Orderly Transition' scenario within the Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs), the carbon cost was estimated at NTD 4,722.97 (USD 154.464/tCO2e) to assess the impact of external regulations and the financial feasibility of mitigation activities. In 2025, we calculated the benefits of past energy-saving and carbon-reduction projects (implicit pricing) while considering regional carbon price trends and global scenario trajectories (shadow pricing). Consequently, Chicony has set an Internal Carbon Pricing (ICP) of NTD 1,100/tCO2e, which is projected to rise annually to NTD 2,600/tCO2e by 2030. This pricing structure has been formally approved by the Board of Directors. | |

(2) Industry Overview
(1) The Outlook:
Chicony Group's primary revenue is driven by keyboard applications, image-related products, and power supply units (PSUs). While the overall notebook market faces potential double-digit declines due to soaring component costs—with low-margin Chromebooks (primarily for the education market) being the hardest hit—end-user demand has shifted toward high-value commercial and gaming models. Furthermore, the rising penetration of AI PCs is driving upgrades in laptop specifications, which in turn boosts Average Selling Price (ASP) and overall profitability.
In the Image Products segment, by leveraging our hardware-software integration capabilities, we have developed Edge AI Vision Solutions. These are expanding into diverse fields such as smart video conferencing, smart security, smart factories, and smart fleet management. High-value commercial surveillance and smart video products are optimizing our product mix. Additionally, laptop camera modules designed for AI PCs feature significant enhancements in video conferencing functions and pixel quality, further contributing to higher ASP.
As AI applications rapidly proliferate worldwide, IDC estimates that by 2030, AI's cumulative contribution to the global economy will reach nearly US$20 trillion, accounting for 3.5% of global GDP. In the PC market, AI PCs are fueling growth in the high-end segment; penetration is projected to reach 55% in 2026, 60% in 2027, and become fully standardized by 2030.
In this AI-driven era, power demand is growing exponentially. Consequently, the Power Supply Unit (PSU) is no longer a peripheral component but the "core heart" of AI infrastructure. Our subsidiary, Chicony Power, has been the world's leading manufacturer of laptop power supplies since 2017. The increased market share of AI PCs, higher power specifications for AI servers, and the expansion
-117-
of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are all favorable drivers for Chicony Power's future growth. Another subsidiary, XAVi Technologies, is also shifting focus from low-margin broadband products to AIoT (AI Internet of Things) and edge computing products, significantly improving overall profit margins.
Beyond product diversification, Chicony is diversifying its manufacturing bases by extending operations from China to Thailand to mitigate operational risks and build a resilient global supply chain. This strategy offers customers flexible manufacturing solutions and significantly reduces geopolitical risks. Last year, revenue from the Thailand facilities accounted for more than $25\%$ of the Group's total revenue. With the completion and mass production of Chicony Power's first Thailand plant and Chicony's second Thailand plant, the contribution from the Thailand campus will continue to rise. Our goal is to achieve $40\%$ non-China production capacity, making Thailand a pivotal production hub for the Group.
A Power Supply Unit (PSU) is responsible for converting external AC (Alternating Current) power into the stable DC (Direct Current) power required by electronic products through rectification, filtering, and voltage reduction. While most electronic components operate on DC, utility grids provide high-voltage AC due to physical limitations in power generation and transmission. The PSU not only bridges this gap but also protects sophisticated electronic components from unstable currents, ensuring both operational reliability and extended product lifespan. It is truly the energy source of modern electronics.
The power supply is distinguished by the functions and basic structure. It can be mainly divided into the Linear Power Supply (LPS), the Switch Power Supply (SPS), and the Uninterruptible Power System (UPS), in which the switch power supply is the mainstream of current products, so the following power supply industry introduction mostly uses switch power supply as the main axis.
According to the characteristics of input/output, the power supply can be divided into AC/DC (Alternating Current to Direct Current), DC/DC (Direct Current to Direct Current), AC/AC (Alternating Current to Alternating Current), DC/AC (Direct Current to Alternating Current), etc. The power supply design is different depending on the requirements of the electronic product or instrument. AC/DC power supply is the most common type. The main purpose is to convert the mains into DC power that meets the operating voltage of the product. The products include SPS, adapters, etc., and are applied to PC, NB, electrical appliances, and network equipment, etc. DC/DC conversion power supply is mainly used for communication or extremely low voltage, or extremely high current. It converts the DC power that has been converted by the AC/DC power supply unit into various special voltages that are usually used when an extremely stable power supply is required or equipment that requires special operating voltage, such as computer chips, etc. AC/AC is mainly used in UPS (Uninterruptible Power System), DC/AC for solar power conversion, and so on. The detailed classification and use of the power supply can be found in the table below.
Main Classification of Power Supply
| Input/Output Type | Category | Major Products |
|---|---|---|
| AC/DC | PC Power Supply | The most common type of power supply and the main features are high efficiency and iron shell protection. |
| AC/DC | Open Frame | Power supply built-in network communication products, industrial computers, industrial machinery, and displays have no |
| iron shell protection and have a high degree of freedom in design. It can be customized based on space and power requirements. | ||
|---|---|---|
| AC/DC | Adapter | The common type of external power supply is covered by a plastic case and is mostly used in notebook computers and various consumer electronic products. |
| DC/DC | Converter | DC power supply is used for buck-boost by AC/DC devices, and it is used in electronic products that require precise voltage. |
| AC/AC | UPS | UPS is an abbreviation for the uninterruptible power system. It is usually connected to AC for charging. When the power is off, AC power can be provided to electronic products such as computers. |
Furthermore, rising environmental awareness and the widespread adoption of energy-saving concepts have made enhancing conversion efficiency and reducing standby power consumption the core R&D focus for manufacturers striving to meet global energy regulations and environmental laws. To diversify revenue streams, companies are leveraging their power technology expertise to expand into high-power power converter products. Meanwhile, the surging demand for electricity driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications has made high-power, high-efficiency, and high-density power solutions a strategic priority for development.

Related Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream Chart for Power Supply Manufacturing Industry

4. Power Supply and LED Light Source Products
In the power supply market, Taiwanese companies are more focused on AC/DC and DC/DC products. Under normal circumstances, AC/DC applications are widely used, and DC/DC can be used as internal components of electronic products. Mostly used for high-end industrial power supply, the product technology level is relatively high. From the upstream, midstream, and downstream structures of the power supply industry, in the control IC part (components) of the "upstream raw materials" industry, it can be found that except for a small part of Taiwan that relies on foreign imports, most of the remaining components have good self-manufacturing capabilities. In the "downstream application industry" part, the Taiwanese information industry is mature, and the industry chain is complete. It is highly competitive for PC-related, consumer electronics, Netcom, and industrial machinery.
Development Trend in Power Supply
(1) Development of High-Efficiency and High-Power Density Product Technologies
Power supply products are evolving towards high efficiency and high-power density to meet the growing demands of AI high-performance computing (HPC), data centers, electric vehicles (EVs), and green energy initiatives. High efficiency reduces energy conversion loss and lowers energy costs, while high power density addresses challenges related to heat dissipation and miniaturization within the limited space of end-products. These advancements are achieved through the integration of wide-bandgap
(WBG) semiconductors, such as Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC), ensuring compliance with increasingly stringent environmental and energy regulations. In short, to provide more powerful, energy-efficient, and eco-friendly energy solutions in smaller spaces, the power industry must continuously enhance both efficiency and power density.
(2) Product is Oriented towards Being Small and Beautiful
The power supply is a key component of electronic products, and its functional requirements are closely related to the characteristics of the application products. In recent years, electronic products have begun to develop into small size, beautiful appearance, lightweight, stackable, low energy consumption, etc., and it is necessary to reduce the size of the module, beautify it, and increase the energy conversion efficiency for the development and design of power supply.
(3) Product Quality and Technical Upgrade
As standard PSU products become more and more mature, most of the main products of domestic manufacturers are for supporting information applications; plus, with the rapid increase in competing companies, price competitions have become fierce. With the profit of downstream application products becoming lesser and lesser, not only do PSU manufacturers need to increase their own technology, quality, control cost and expand their own industrial economy scale, they must also enhance their development and designs for products with high added-values in order to strive for new application markets (High frequency and high density, using third-generation semiconductor (GaN, SiC)).
(4) Safety Regulations are Becoming Stricter
Due to the increase in energy prices and consumer environmental awareness, the future development trend is to develop environmental protection and energy-saving products. In order to protect consumer safety, each country's safety requirements for electronic products are becoming stricter. In order to comply with the related regulations on energy conservation, the products and manufacturers that can provide solutions in technical design will have competitive advantages and market opportunities.
(5) Consideration of environmental protection and energy conservation
Power supply is a bridge between municipal electricity and terminal electronic products, and its conversion efficiency can have a great impact on the use of energy. In addition to improving conversion efficiency, the Company actively uses recycled materials in product components and lower down carbon footprint by decreasing developing product components to achieve the purpose of energy conservation and carbon reduction.
(6) Assembly Line and Key Components with Automated Production
In response to the shortage of manpower and rising wages, automated production can solve the delay in delivery and overall cost increase caused by manpower and can also maintain product quality and reduce the quality problems caused by human negligence.
Competition of Power Supply
Since the power supply industry needs economies of scale or production
-122-
technology, and some high-end or environmental power supplies need to be patented or certified, and the technical requirements of high-end products are relatively high and the research and development costs are high, so the entry threshold is relatively high. The future trend is that large companies will become bigger and bigger.
Taiwan is a major producer of global information products. Driven by downstream industries, power supply shipments have remained high, and competitors in the power supply industry are mainly Taiwanese manufacturers. Due to the wide range of applications of power supplies, and the fact that most companies focus on specific power ranges or applications, and each competitor has its own advantages, few companies on the market are eliminated, and they can find their own positioning in the market.

- Analysis and Assessment of Risk Issues
(1) The effect of fluctuation of interest rate, exchange rate, and inflation on the income position of the Company, and remedy
- Interest Rate Change
At the end of 2025, the amount of consolidated bank loans of the Company increased by approximately NT$ 2.47 billion compared with the end of 2024. The average bank loan interest rate of 2025 was 1.82%, an increase of approximately 0.12% from 2024. The increase or decrease of the annual interest rate of loans by 0.25%, based on the balance of consolidated bank loans of NT$8,853,563 thousand, as of December 31, 2025, would impact the total annual interest expense of the Company by NT$ 22,134 thousand.
The Company will track the market interest rate and exchange rate trend information at any time to obtain the best deposit(loan) interest rate conditions of each currency from the bank, adjust the deposit (loan) portfolio of each currency to pursue the maximization of profitability, and control the overall accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, and fixed asset turnover rate of the Company to increase the cash flow of the Company, minimizing the impact of interest rate increases on the Company.
- Fluctuation in Foreign Currency Exchange Rate
The products of the Company and its subsidiaries are primarily exported and quoted in U.S. dollars. In response to recent shifts in international currency trends, procurement is also mainly denominated in U.S. dollars to ensure that gross profit margins are not significantly impacted by exchange rate fluctuations. Regarding U.S. dollar net asset positions and potential future cash flows, the Company and its subsidiaries closely monitor global economic conditions and consult bank analytical reports. Hedging strategies—including forward foreign exchange contracts, options, swap transactions, or direct spot trading of U.S. dollars—are employed to mitigate the impact of exchange rate volatility. In 2025, the consolidated foreign exchange loss amounted to NT$1.64 billion.
- Inflation
Most of the products of the Company and its subsidiaries are exported, so the impact of domestic inflation on the gain or loss of the Company is low. However, if inflation occurs in the global market, it will affect the purchasing ability and willingness of consumers and decrease the demand for consumer products. The gain or loss of the Company will have a negative impact, but the impact of international inflation is comprehensive, and it is not only individual companies but also governments that will respond to this issue; However, the Company will pay attention to the research and development and sales of niche products, reduce the production cost, and maintain the revenue of the Company by the price of products that can stimulate consumers' demand, and reduce the negative impact of inflation on the gain and loss of the Company.
(2) The policy of engagement in high risk and high leverage investment, loaning to a third party, undertaking of endorsements/guarantees in favor of a third party, and derivative trade, and the main cause of profit or loss and remedy in the future
- In the case of short-term investments, the Company and its subsidiaries have carefully evaluated and performed related rules, based on the "Acquisition or Disposal of Assets Processing Procedures" and related authority rules, and the investment details and their gain and loss status are reviewed at least once a month. The Company will stop related matters if there is an abnormal situation. In 2025, the
-- 152 --
Company's consolidated gain (loss) on disposal of investments were NT$ 168,444 thousand.
-
The Company and its subsidiaries have engaged in fund lending with others and endorsement guarantors. All of them have set the "Funding Loan Operation Procedures" and "Endorsement Guarantee Measures" and proceeded according to them. When the subsidiary company needs funds required for operational needs, it is not easy to obtain the loan amount from the bank itself, and then the Company or the subsidiary company shall pay the loan or endorsement guarantee. As of December 31, 2025, the Company and its subsidiaries do not have any losses in fund loans to other people and endorsement guarantees.
-
The policies of the Company and its subsidiaries engaged in the trading of derivative goods are limited to hedging transactions. In the future, the Company and its subsidiaries will take into account the bank analysis report, appropriately perform the forward foreign exchange rate, options, and futures to avoid hedging, and reduce the impact of the exchange rate and raw material fluctuations by depending on foreign exchange site inventory, flow, and purchase of raw materials demand.
(3) R&D plan in the future, and projected commitment of R&D expenses
In order to respond to the market demand, besides the continuous investment of keyboard applications (NB, DT, Tablet), image products (NB camera module), smart home applications, and power supplies (PC, NB, server), the Company also actively expand the application of high value added products, such as AI image products, AIOT, edge computing products, and smart low carbon platform total solution. The Company will continue to invest more R&D in selected emerging products. The investment in research and development is expected to account for about 3% of consolidated operating revenue.
(4) The effect of changes in important policies and the regulatory environment at home and overseas on the financial and operation performance of the Company and the remedy
In the most recent year and up to the printing date of the annual report, significant domestic and foreign policy and legal changes have no significant impact on the Company's financial business.
(5) The effect of changes in the technological and industrial environment on the financial and operation performance of the Company and the remedy
In the most recent year and as of the publication date of the annual report, technological changes have not had a significant impact on the Company's financial business; However, there are unfavorable factors in the overall industry such as rapid market changes, elevating risks of protectionism, continuous increase in labor costs, mature PC market resulting in difficulties in achieving high growth. In addition to continuing on developing new AI PC mainstream products, the company focus on research and development and sales of high value-added products, reducing production costs, process rationalization, production automation, and vertical integration of major suppliers. The company also actively expands non-PC industries such as: imaging products, satellite communication, smart building solutions and other emerging product businesses to minimize the above adverse effects and maintain the company's profits. In response to complex and evolving cybersecurity threats and challenges, the Company has appointed a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and established a dedicated cybersecurity unit. We are building a collaborative cybersecurity defense system by raising security awareness, advancing defensive technologies, and strengthening our overall protection mechanisms. Furthermore, we focus on cultivating high-quality cybersecurity talent and accelerating the
-- 153 --
improvement of our digital environment. In 2025, we successfully completed the transition to the latest version of the Information Security Management System (ISMS) standards.

This could help to disperse the risk over tariff barriers effectively, quickly respond to customers' needs, allocate the global production capacity and disperse the production risk.
(9) Risks and responding measures of concentration of purchase or sale
The Company produces and sells diversified products. In the Most Recent Year and up to the Date of Printing of this Annual Report, sales to the largest client accounted for less than 13% of the global consolidated operating revenue, so the sales mix was still diversified, without the risk of high concentration; The Company has more than two suppliers of each raw material required for various product, and no single supplier accounts for more than 10% of the total consolidated purchases in the world.
