Attachment 1
Business Report for the year 2024
Reflecting on 2024, we recognize it was a year filled with challenges and changes. The drastic shifts in global circumstances, including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, escalating conflicts in the Middle East, and geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China, have posed significant challenges to global economic stability and business operations. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), global GDP growth is expected to stabilize at 3.2% in 2025. However, behind this stability lies a landscape fraught with uncertainty and structural economic challenges.
Compal has demonstrated robust profit growth in the post-pandemic era by adjusting our operational framework, enhancing efficiency, and optimizing our product mix. Nevertheless, given the rapid pace of industry competition and technological change, we must accelerate our growth strategies to ensure that Compal can move forward steadily as we approach our 40th anniversary, laying a solid foundation for future heights. Below, I outline the financial and business results for the year 2024, as well as our business outlook for 2025.
Financial and Business Results
Compal's consolidated revenue for 2024 was NT$910.253 billion, a decrease of 4% compared to the previous year. Despite declining consolidated revenue due to demand fluctuations and business adjustments, our effective strategies for enhancing profitability and operational capability increased our gross margin and operating profit margin, which rose from 4.5% and 1.3% in the previous year to 5.0% and 1.6%, respectively. Our consolidated operating profit for the year grew by 23% year-on-year, reaching NT$14.842 billion, and net profit attributable to the parent company increased by 31% to NT$10.042 billion, translating to earnings per share (EPS) of NT$2.30. Operating and net profit margins have reached a ten-year high, further demonstrating Compal's solid value.
Transformation and Growth Strategy
Amid intensifying industry competition and technological changes, Compal, while benefiting from solid support in our Computing and Smart Device sectors, has lacked contributions from a third pillar, resulting in insufficient revenue growth momentum. Therefore, we redefined five key emerging businesses last year: AI Applications, Cloud Servers, Auto Electronics, Advanced Communication, and MedTech, and actively invested resources into these areas. In the 2nd half of the year, we initiated the Compal Transformation Program, expanding our focus and investment in high-value businesses and growth engines, which will lay a solid foundation for Compal's future development. A crucial aspect of this transformation is our comprehensive push for digitization and AI
22
applications, which includes three main strategic directions: (1) Internal AI Applications: Integrating AI into our internal management across R&D, procurement, smart manufacturing, supply chain management, and finance to enhance operational transparency, efficiency, and reduce human error. (2) AI Product Development: Accelerating our deployment both in the Cloud and Edge AI segments, including the design and production of AI servers, AI PCs, AI smartphones, and networking products. Particularly in the AI PC sector, Compal has closely collaborated with several chip partners to maintain our market leadership. (3) Cross-domain AI Technology Applications: Applying AI technologies to emerging new investment fields and subsidiaries, such as smart medical and smart long-term care, positioning Compal as an active participant in the AI transformation.
Geopolitical Risks and Global Strategy
Regarding geopolitical risks, the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East and economic pressures in China pose potential threats to global stability. Recent U.S. international trade policy announcements, including new tariff measures, further impact global supply chains and economic relations. These risks continue to heighten inflationary pressures, challenging operational costs and market demand. In response to these challenges, we observe a trend of supply chain restructuring and an accelerated diversification strategy. Compal currently operates production bases or partners in nine countries, including Taiwan, China, Vietnam, Thailand, India, Poland, Brazil, Mexico, and the U.S., to mitigate risks associated with geopolitical tensions and tariff policies. Additionally, we are evaluating the potential expansion plans in North America and have announced capital increases for our Polish subsidiary CGS Technology (Poland) and our U.S. subsidiary Compal USA (Indiana) earlier this year. These strategies will help reduce reliance on any single region/or country, enhance supply chain flexibility, and better serve our global customers.
Sustainability and Innovation Progress
In terms of corporate sustainability, Compal continues to advance its ESG efforts. Following the board's re-election in 2024, the independence and diversity of the new board have improved compared to the previous term. In terms of social responsibility, we are committed to promoting DEI initiatives to create a diverse and fulfilling workplace. Facing the challenges of climate change, Compal has become a new member of RE100, committing to achieve 100% renewable energy usage by 2050, with our carbon reduction goals officially validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
In the realm of innovation, Compal's jointly developed "5G and AI-enabled Smart Mattress Care System" won two prestigious awards in 2024 - the R&D 100 Awards and the Special Contribution Award for Corporate Social Responsibility. Additionally, Compal received 20 iF Product Design Awards and ranked 11th in iF Global Creative Status.
23
Compal's performance in external evaluations has significantly improved through our comprehensive efforts in sustainability and innovation. We have been selected for several consecutive years in the FTSE4Good Index and FTSE4Good TIP Taiwan ESG Index, reflecting international recognition of Compal's long-term sustainable investment value. In 2024, Compal was once again named one of the "Top 100 Sustainable Companies in Taiwan" by the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy (TAISE) and received the TCSA Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Award as well as the Global Corporate Sustainability Award, acknowledging our ongoing commitment to sustainability.
Future Outlook and Plans
While international geopolitical risks remain uncertain, market research firms still anticipate growth opportunities in the industry for 2025, including the computer, server, and smartphone markets. We also see new opportunities within our core businesses. In the computer sector, the demand for corporate hardware upgrades and the widespread adoption of AI PCs are expected to drive new growth momentum. In the server segment, we are not only focusing on the enterprise market but also actively pursuing partnerships with cloud service providers (CSPs) to advance our AI server business. In non-PC products, although consumer product demand requires cautious observation, we will prioritize optimizing our product mix to enhance profitability while continuing to advance our five emerging businesses, aiming for non-PC revenue contributions to reach 40-50% in the mid-to-longer term. In addition to business development, the transformation of corporate culture and the rejuvenation of our management team are also key priorities, laying the groundwork for Compal's development over the coming decades.
For 2025, we look forward to Compal seizing new opportunities and challenges while pursuing steady progress, advancing with innovation and efficiency, achieving sustainable corporate development, and continually creating long-term value for our shareholders. Thank you once again to all shareholders for your support of Compal. Wishing you all safety, health, and success in all your endeavors!
Chairman of the Board: Jui-Tsung Chen President and CEO: Anthony Peter Bonadero Accounting Officer: Cheng- Chiang Wang

Independent Auditor’s Report
To Compal Electronics, Inc.:
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of COMPAL ELECTRONICS, INC. (“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of material policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, 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 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 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 of 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 financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Inventory valuation
Please refer to Note (4)(g) and Note (5) for the accounting policy of inventory valuation, as well as the estimation and assumption uncertainty of the valuation of inventory, respectively. Information of estimation of the valuation of inventory are disclosed in Note (6)(f) of the financial statements.
Description of key audit matters:
Inventory stock resulting from production forecasting may lead to product obsolescence, which might fail to meet the market demands, resulting in a decline in orders. Therefore, the valuation of inventory is one of the key audit matters.
Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above area included the following:
In order to verify the rationality of assessment of inventory valuation estimated by the Company, our key audit procedures included reviewing the consistency of prior year's accounting policy, inspecting the Company’s inventory aging reports, analyzing the change of inventory aging, judgement of specific items, recalculate the estimated loss due to obsolescence and price decline according to Company policy.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the 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.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 the 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 auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on the 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.
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 financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Kuan-Ying Kuo and Szu-Chuan Chien.
KPMG
Taipei, Taiwan (Republic of China) February 27, 2025

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 Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Kuan-Ying Kuo and Szu-Chuan Chien.
