D. Impact of External Competitive Environment, Regulatory Environment, and Overall Business Environment
(A) External Competitive Environment
- Sustainable finance will become an important industry trend. In particular, the banking sector will continue to issue related sustainable bonds, sustainability-linked loans, and green financial products, guiding industries toward net-zero transformation, reducing carbon emissions in investment and financing, and achieving key ESG sustainability benefits.
- Due to the conflicts in the Middle East, rising energy product costs have driven up prices and other input costs, intensifying market concerns about accelerating inflation. Enterprises are experiencing weakened demand due to uncertainties caused by conflicts and rising living costs.
- Geopolitical uncertainties are also reflected in the supply chain, especially with the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which carries one-fifth of the world's oil supply. Threats to shipping from Iran have caused tanker transportation to nearly halt, and it remains unclear when or how the strait will reopen. The Federal Reserve will need to balance the risks of rising inflation against weakening economic growth, largely depending on the duration of the conflict and its impact on energy prices and global supply chains.
(B) Regulatory Environment
In addition to investing in Taiwan and deepening domestic operations, Taiwan's technology industry continues its global expansion, establishing production capacity in the United States, Europe, Japan, and Southeast Asia. The implementation of domestic carbon fees indicates the arrival of a carbon pricing era. In addition, obtaining ISO-related certifications requires certain labor costs and certification expenses.
(C) Overall Business Environment
Since 2025, the domestic industries have faced a complex and rapidly changing business environment, including Taiwan's AI supply chain occupying a leading global position, the U.S.-China semiconductor technology conflict with dual measures of controls and tariffs, the electric vehicle market entering a highly competitive stage with U.S. tariffs of 100% on Chinese products affecting market dynamics, geopolitical and war factors causing fluctuations in raw material prices, the Red Sea crisis and Panama Canal drought leading to rising container and bulk shipping rates, the termination of 134 ECFA items creating transformation pressure for certain traditional industries, and the upcoming carbon fee policy ushering Taiwan into a carbon pricing era. These factors indicate that the overseas business
environment faced by domestic enterprises in 2025 is influenced by geopolitics, the U.S.-China technology conflict, and war, affecting the overall performance of domestic industries. The joint U.S.-Israel attack on Iran has triggered a blockade crisis in the Strait of Hormuz. As crude oil prices continue to surge, many raw material prices are also affected. Economists point out that the scale of supply shocks in this event far exceeds those in the past, and global economic growth will slow down. High oil prices will directly erode household disposable income and increase corporate production costs.
Regarding the impact of sustained high oil prices, global inflation is expected to rebound comprehensively. Oil prices will transmit along the industrial chain, leading to sharp increases in costs across industries such as energy, food, transportation, and chemicals. Economies highly dependent on energy imports, such as Europe, Japan, and India, will face more severe pressure. High oil prices will reverse the previous trend of declining inflation and significantly alter market expectations for interest rate cuts. A prolonged high interest rate environment will directly suppress the real estate market and corporate financing, slow global economic growth, crowd out non-energy consumption, and increase production costs for enterprises.
cpc will continue to closely monitor the economic environment and market fluctuations and respond in a timely manner to avoid potential losses, while continuously strengthening its R&D capabilities and integrating intelligent operations with long-term manufacturing development trends to achieve sustainable operation and growth.
cpc will continue to uphold the principle of integrity as the foundation of sustainable development, expand the scale of the Group, create maximum value for shareholders and customers, and provide employees with the best career development and welfare. The Company aims to build a team with both virtue and expertise, give back to society, promote positive social values, and achieve a harmonious and prosperous environment.
I hereby wish all the shareholders
good health and happiness.

- 125 -
The term “current year’s profit” referred to in the first paragraph means the profit before tax of the current year before deducting employee compensation and directors’ remuneration.
- The basis for estimating the remuneration amounts of employees, directors, and supervisors, the calculating the number of shares to be distributed as employee remuneration, and the accounting treatment of the discrepancy, if any, between the actual distributed amount and the estimated figure, for the current period:
In accordance with the provisions of (2007) Ji-Mi-Zih No. 052 Letter released by Accounting Research and Development Foundation of the Republic of China in March 2007, the Company should regard remuneration of employees, directors and supervisors as the expenses, instead of surplus distribution. For the remuneration of employees and directors of current period, if the actually distributed amount through the resolution of the board of shareholders and the estimated amount are with discrepancy, it will be regarded as changes in the accounting estimate, and listed as the profit/loss of 2025. Hence, EPS of 2025 has fully reflected the influence on bonus of employees, remuneration of directors, and supervisors on profits, thus this will not affect the estimated calculation of EPS.
- Remuneration Distribution results approved by Board of Directors:
(1) The remuneration of employees and directors distributed in cash or shares: If there are any discrepancies with the annual estimated amount of recognized expenses, the amount, reason and treatment of discrepancy shall be disclosed:
The Company passed the remuneration of employees and remuneration of directors through the resolution of the board of directors on February 26, 2026, shows as following:
A. For 2025, the Company proposes to distribute employee compensation in cash amounting to NT$8,500,000, representing approximately 8.26% of the current year’s profit, of which NT$2,200,000 will be allocated to grassroots employees. The estimated number of grassroots employees is 255, accounting for 25.88% of the total employee compensation distribution. This amount is the same as the employee compensation recognized in the accounts, which is NT$8,500,000.
B. The company proposes to distribute director compensation in the amount of NT$1,800,000 in cash for the year 2025, which is approximately 1.80% of the profits for the year. This amount is consistent with the recognized director compensation of NT$1,800,000 on the balance sheet.
(2) Amount of employee remuneration distributed in shares and proportion occupied in sum of un-consolidated or individual financial reporting profit (loss) for the year and total amount of employee remuneration of current period: The cash method is adopted for this time; therefore, it is not applicable.
- Status of actual distribution of remuneration of employees and directors of the previous year (including the number of shares distributed, amount and share price), any discrepancies with the recognized remuneration of employees and directors, and detailed description of amount, reason and treatment of discrepancy:
(1) Employee bonus actually distributed by the Company in 2024 was NT$10,000,000.
(2) Remuneration of directors actually distributed by the Company in 2024 was NT$2,200,000.
(3) The original board of directors passed the employee bonus, remuneration of directors of 2024, and such remuneration had distributed to employees and directors and supervisors; meanwhile, the proposed distribution amount passed by the original board of directors was same with the actually distributed amount.

The Company will set sales targets based on industry conditions and past experience and strive to achieve them. # C. Cash Flows (A) Analysis of Changes in Cash Flows for the Most Recent Fiscal Year: Unit: NT$ in thousands | Year Account item | 2025 | 2024 | Increased (decreased) | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | Amount | Amount | Amount | % | | Operating activities inflows (outflows) | 123,746 | 205,804 | (82,058) | (39.87%) | | Investment activities inflows(outflows) | (125,724) | (247,152) | (121,428) | (49.13%) | | Financial activities inflows (outflows) | (163,591) | 52,710 | (216,301) | (410.36%) | | Effect of exchange rate | 7,695 | 19,177 | (11,482) | (59.87%) | | Net cash inflows (outflows) | (157,874) | 30,539 | (188,413) | (616.96%) | | 1. Net cash inflow from operating activities decreased by NT$82,058 thousand, primarily due to the following: (1) The Phase II plant at the Tainan Tree Valley Industrial Park was completed and accepted on June 30, 2024, and depreciation has been recognized since July 2024. As a result, depreciation expense in 2025 increased by NT$10,724 thousand compared to 2024, while interest expense increased by NT$8,981 thousand. (2) Due to a significant increase in revenue starting from the fourth quarter of 2025, accounts receivable increased, resulting in a cash outflow increase of NT$48,053 thousand compared to 2024. (3) Although procurement amounts in 2025 decreased compared to 2024, purchases were more concentrated in the fourth quarter, leading to increases in notes payable, accounts payable, and other payables, thereby reducing cash outflows by NT$9,119 thousand. (4) As profit in 2024 decreased compared to 2023, income tax paid in 2025 decreased compared to the previous year, resulting in a reduction in cash outflows of NT$26,461 thousand. (5) The combined effects of the above resulted in a decrease of NT$82,058 thousand in net cash inflow from operating activities. 2. Net cash outflow from investing activities decreased by NT$121,428 thousand, primarily due to the following: (1) n 2024, the Company acquired financial assets at fair value through profit or loss – non-current (Phoenix Lu Innovation Venture Capital Co., Ltd.) amounting to NT$50,000 thousand, whereas no such transaction occurred in 2025. | | | | | --- (2) In 2025, financial assets measured at amortized cost – current (time deposits with maturities over three months) increased by NT$64,870 thousand. Compared to 2024, this represents a decrease of NT$22,253 thousand. (3) As part of the construction of the Phase II plant at Tree Valley was completed, investment in construction in progress decreased, resulting in a decrease of NT$4,040 thousand in cash payments for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment. (4) As some machinery and equipment for Phase II at Tree Valley were still under testing, prepayments for equipment increased by NT$11,005 thousand in 2025; compared to 2024, this represents a decrease of NT$38,351 thousand. 3. Net cash outflow from financing activities increased by NT$216,301 thousand, primarily due to the following: (1) On January 3, 2024, the Company entered into a NT$2 billion syndicated loan agreement with a consortium of ten banks, and the first drawdown was made on February 15, 2024. Part of the loan was used, in line with government policy, for the expansion of the Phase II plant at the Tainan Shugu Industrial Park and the acquisition of machinery and equipment. As drawdowns were required to be completed before July 30, 2024, long-term borrowings increased accordingly. In 2025, repayments were mainly made in accordance with the “Action Plan for Welcoming Overseas Taiwanese Businesses to Return to Invest in Taiwan” on a monthly amortization basis, with the remainder being regular repayments of long-term borrowings in accordance with contractual terms. (2) Due to decreased profitability, cash dividends distributed decreased by NT$8,726 thousand. (B) Improvement Plan for Insufficient Liquidity: The Company did not experience any insufficiency in cash flows in the most recent fiscal year. (C) Analysis of Cash Flow Liquidity for the Next Year: Unit: NT$ in thousand | Opening Cash Balance (1) | Estimated Full-Year Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities (2) | Estimated Cash Outflows for the Full Year (3) | Estimated Cash Surplus (Shortfall) (1)+(2)-(3) | Remedial Measures for Cash Shortfall | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | | | | Investment Plan | Financing Plan | | 706,758 | 327,821 | (241,319) | 793,260 | - | - | | Analysis of Changes in Cash Flows for the Next Year: 1. Operating Activities: Although the Company continued to be affected by unfavorable economic conditions in 2025, revenue has shown a significant increase since the fourth quarter. In addition, revenue growth in the first quarter of 2026 has been even more pronounced. Based on this trend, revenue in 2026 is expected to increase quarter by quarter, and operating activities are therefore expected to generate net cash inflows. 2. Investing Activities: In 2026, the Company will continue to invest in machinery and equipment for the Phase II project at the Tree Valley Industrial Park, and investing activities are therefore expected to result in net cash outflows. 3. Financing Activities: In accordance with the earnings distribution proposal approved by the Board of Directors on February 26, 2026, the Company plans to distribute cash dividends of NT$61,083 thousand, and financing activities are therefore expected to result in net cash outflows. | | | | | | --- D. Impact of Significant Capital Expenditures in the Most Recent Fiscal Year on Financial Position and Operations There were no significant capital expenditures in 2025 and up to the date of publication of this annual report, nor were there any matters that had a material impact on the Company’s financial position and operations. E. Investment Policy in the Most Recent Fiscal Year, Major Reasons for Profits or Losses Therefrom, Improvement Plans, and Investment Plan for the Next Year (A) The Company’s investment policy primarily focuses on areas related to its core business, with the aim of enhancing overall operating performance. Relevant departments execute such investments in accordance with the internal control system, including the “Investment Cycle” and the “Procedures for Acquisition or Disposal of Assets.” In addition, the Company has established the “Subsidiary Management Regulations” within its internal control system to supervise subsidiaries in formulating procedures for significant financial and operational matters, and to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. This framework also establishes a risk management mechanism for subsidiary operations to achieve optimal operating performance. (B) Major Reasons for Profits or Losses from Investments, Improvement Plans, and Investment Plan for the Next Year: Unit: NT$ in thousand | Item | Description | Profit or loss amount of 2025 | Main reason of profit or loss | Improvement plans | Investment plans for the coming year | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | CHIEFTEK PRECISION HOLDING CO., LTD. | | 6,939 | Recognized investment income (loss) from Chieftek Machinery (Kunshan) Co., Ltd. | - | None | | cpc Europa GmbH | | 46 | Primarily attributable to an increase in operating revenue. | - | Build new self-owned factories to reduce rental burden. | | Chieftek Precision International LLC | | 1,874 | Primarily attributable to rental income from leased properties exceeding routine operating expenses. | - | None | | CHIEFTEK PRECISION USA CO., LTD. | | 37,369 | Primarily attributable to an increase in operating revenue. | - | None | | Chieftek Machinery (Kunshan) Co., Ltd. | | 6,937 | Primarily attributable to unfavorable economic conditions in Mainland China. Although operating revenue continued to decline, profitability improved compared to the previous year. | - | None | (C) Investment Plan for the Next Year: The investment plan will be determined based on the operating conditions of the investee companies. - 163 - --- F. Risk Factors (A) Impact of Interest Rate, Exchange Rate, and Inflation Changes on the Company’s Profit or Loss, and Corresponding Response Measures: 1. Interest Rate Changes: The U.S. and European central banks have maintained rate-cutting policies, while the Bank of Japan has recently initiated monetary policy normalization by raising policy rates and ending negative interest rate and yield curve control policies, although it continues to maintain an accommodative monetary stance. Market attention to the monetary policy directions of major economies has increased volatility in international financial markets. The Company’s interest expenses for 2025 and 2024 were NT$32,862 thousand and NT$30,562 thousand, respectively, accounting for 2.89% and 2.95% of net operating revenue: (1) Interest expenses in 2025 increased by NT$2,300 thousand compared to 2024; however, due to higher operating revenue in 2025, the ratio of interest expenses to net operating revenue decreased by 0.02%. (2) Interest expenses increased in 2025 primarily due to financing requirements arising from the active construction of the Phase II plant at Tree Valley Industrial Park, the acquisition of machinery and equipment, and increased working capital needs in Europe. (3) The Company continuously evaluates bank borrowing rates and maintains close communication with financial institutions to obtain more favorable rates. Given the strong support from financial institutions for the Company’s operations and performance, interest rate fluctuations have not had a material impact on the Company. 2. Exchange Rate Changes: The Company’s export revenues are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, euros, and Japanese yen, while procurement is mainly conducted in euros and Japanese yen. Accordingly, certain assets and liabilities provide a natural hedge. To manage exchange rate risks, the Company actively monitors exchange rate movements and adopts appropriate hedging measures to mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. (1) Net foreign exchange loss amounted to NT$74 thousand in 2025, while net foreign exchange gain amounted to NT$26,790 thousand in 2024, representing 0.007% and 2.58% of net operating revenue, respectively, indicating that foreign exchange gains or losses did not constitute a significant proportion of revenue. (2) Overall, exchange rate factors have not posed a material risk to the Company’s profitability. 3. Inflation: Taiwan has faced significant inflationary pressure since 2025, and the situation has further intensified in 2026 due to the impact of geopolitical conflicts. Various factors contributing to rising prices pose challenges to economic stability, making it difficult to maintain inflation within a reasonable range. The government is expected to actively implement monetary and fiscal policies, improve production efficiency, optimize supply - 164 - --- chain structures, and reduce market monopolization to effectively curb inflation. In addition to uncontrollable climate and global energy factors, Taiwan has historically maintained inflation at around 2% through regulated utility pricing. However, prolonged losses in public utility sectors have led to planned price adjustments, further complicating inflationary pressures. Additionally, production factors such as labor costs and capital costs are expected to increase due to wage adjustments, financing needs, and external inflationary pressures. Following the inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump, trade tensions have disrupted global supply chains and pricing mechanisms, further increasing global inflationary pressure. As Taiwan relies heavily on imports of bulk commodities and raw materials, it faces greater challenges in mitigating inflation. Nevertheless, the Company will continue to closely monitor economic conditions and market price fluctuations in order to minimize the adverse effects of inflation and deflation. (B) Policies on High-Risk and Highly Leveraged Investments, Lending of Funds to Others, Endorsements and Guarantees, and Derivatives Trading; Major Reasons for Profits or Losses; and Future Response Measures: 1. The Company focuses on its core business operations and adopts a prudent and conservative financial policy. It does not engage in high-risk or highly leveraged investments, nor in derivatives trading. 2. With respect to lending of funds to others and endorsements and guarantees, the Company conducts prudent evaluations, performs regular reporting and monthly monitoring, and complies with the "Procedures for Endorsements and Guarantees," "Procedures for Lending of Funds to Others," and "Procedures for Acquisition or Disposal of Assets" as approved by the Board of Directors and shareholders. 3. For the status of lending of funds to investee companies, endorsements and guarantees in 2025 and up to the date of publication of this annual report, please refer to the meeting handbook and the notes and schedules to the financial statements. (C) Future Research and Development Plans and Expected R&D Expenditures: The Company adheres to a philosophy of continuous research and development and has long been committed to cultivating R&D personnel to conduct project-based research and develop new technologies, thereby enhancing its competitiveness. R&D expenditures amounted to NT$84,845 thousand in 2025, representing an increase of NT$9,016 thousand compared to NT$75,829 thousand in 2024. Despite the unfavorable economic environment, the ratio of R&D expenses to net operating revenue increased from 7.32% to 7.45%, demonstrating Chieftek Precision Co., Ltd.'s strong commitment to R&D and new product development. The Company's R&D scope has evolved from standalone mechatronic components to mechatronic integration and further expanded into pure software technology services. With the development of cpcCells, cpcSystem, cpcRobot, and cpcStudio, R&D expenditures in 2026 are expected to increase to over NT$95,000 thousand. - 165 - --- The Company has also begun establishing its own smart factory. From machine design, mechanical assembly, and electrical engineering to programming, interface development, and data management, the Company leverages its proprietary products and in-house development capabilities to meet internal machining requirements and establish factory IoT systems, ultimately realizing a cpc smart factory. (D) Impact of Significant Domestic and International Policy and Regulatory Changes on the Company's Financial Position and Operations, and Corresponding Response Measures: 1. In March 2022, the Taiwan Stock Exchange required all listed companies (i.e., without phased application) to complete greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory and verification scheduling for the parent company by the end of the second quarter of 2022 and submit it to the Board of Directors. In addition, by the end of the first quarter of 2023, companies were required to complete GHG inventory and verification scheduling for the group (including subsidiaries) and submit it to the Board. Thereafter, implementation progress must be reported to the Board on a quarterly basis for monitoring. Even companies that are required to complete inventories by 2026 must begin quarterly progress reporting to the Board. 2. The Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) has implemented multiple measures to promote sustainable development: (1) Listed companies with paid-in capital of less than NT$2 billion are required to prepare and file a 2024 sustainability report (the first report shall be filed by the end of September 2025, the second by the end of June 2026, with plans to gradually advance the deadline to the end of March of the following year). (2) Companies with paid-in capital of NT$10 billion or more are required to publish a 2026 sustainability report in 2027. This requirement will be extended to all listed companies. (3) On November 25, 2025, the Company obtained a GHG verification opinion for the 2024 parent company, verified by SGS in accordance with ISO 14064-1:2008.

The return of Donald Trump to the White House for a second term was undoubtedly one of the most notable events of 2025. Meanwhile, the wave of technological advancement has not slowed; rather, it continues to accelerate at an unprecedented pace, reshaping the way we live and work. In addition to geopolitical shifts, several key trends warrant close attention. Artificial intelligence (AI) is being rapidly adopted across various sectors, from autonomous vehicles and personalized healthcare to cybersecurity defense. The commercialization of quantum computing is also accelerating and is expected to bring disruptive changes to industries such as finance, logistics, and scientific research in the coming years. At the same time, cybersecurity threats continue to evolve alongside technological advancements. Risks such as malicious software generated by generative AI, encryption challenges posed by quantum computing, and disinformation attacks will become new challenges for enterprises. In response to this rapidly changing technological landscape, both enterprises and individuals must remain well-prepared in order to seize opportunities and maintain a competitive edge in 2025 and beyond. With the sudden rise of DeepSeek, generative AI-driven search is widely regarded as one of the major breakthroughs of 2025. Generative search will make information retrieval simpler and faster. Device-side AI will also be capable of scanning documents, photos, and videos to quickly locate required content. This development signals the potential decline of traditional search engines and the emergence of the era of personal AI assistants. --- Driven by the generative AI boom, robots are learning new tasks faster than ever before (fast-learning robots). Foxconn plans to deploy humanoid robots within its factories to enhance production efficiency. Automation is evolving toward general-purpose robotics, enabling machines to rapidly adapt to new environments and perform a wide range of tasks. Over the past year, the technology sector has undergone significant transformation driven by AI. One of the most notable developments in 2025 is the transition of AI from "answering questions" to "completing tasks." While AI has already replaced certain office functions and entry-level roles, this trend may intensify further in 2026. In addition, non-invasive brain-computer interface technologies are advancing rapidly, and robotics has become a key focus for many technology companies. With continuous advancements in the electronics and semiconductor industries, the Company will continue to invest in R&D, enhance organizational efficiency, and closely monitor market demand and trends in order to strengthen and expand its market share. (F) Impact of Changes in Corporate Image on Crisis Management and Corresponding Response Measures: The Company places the highest priority on integrity in its corporate image and adheres to a people-oriented management philosophy. It provides a challenging and learning-oriented environment to unlock employees' potential and continuously enhance overall organizational capabilities. The Company attracts outstanding talent, refrains from pursuing improper gains, and relies on a professional R&D team to operate with prudence, integrity, and a focus on its core business. The Company complies strictly with applicable laws and regulations and has established a positive corporate image within the industry through its international business model. It is committed to promoting social and economic development, improving the overall economic environment, and safeguarding employee welfare. Given its consistent adherence to regulatory requirements, there have been no significant changes that would give rise to corporate crisis management issues. (G) Expected Benefits, Potential Risks, and Response Measures for Mergers and Acquisitions: The Company did not engage in any mergers or acquisitions in the most recent fiscal year or up to the date of publication of this annual report. Should any such plans arise in the future, the Company will conduct prudent evaluations and consider potential synergies to safeguard the interests of the Company and its shareholders. (H) Expected Benefits, Potential Risks, and Response Measures for Plant Expansion: The Company prudently executes its plant expansion projects. In addition to strengthening its financial structure through capital increases funded by retained earnings, the Company has collaborated with banking syndicates to secure sufficient funding. The management team possesses extensive industry experience and a thorough understanding of product demand, enabling effective utilization of newly constructed facilities. All plant expansion projects undergo comprehensive, prudent, and professional evaluation. Major capital expenditures are subject to review and approval by the Board of - 169 - --- Directors prior to implementation, ensuring that investment benefits and potential risks are fully considered. To achieve sustainable operational objectives, the Company has completed the Phase II plant construction project at Tree Valley Industrial Park and will continue with the installation, testing, and mass production of machinery and equipment. (I) Risks Arising from Concentration of Purchases or Sales and Corresponding Response Measures: 1. Purchases: Based on industry characteristics, yield quality, delivery schedules, and market supply and demand conditions, and to avoid risks associated with reliance on a single supplier—such as material shortages and lack of cost control—the Company maintains good cooperative relationships with its suppliers and actively seeks new suppliers. Procurement is diversified among suppliers of similar nature to reduce concentration risk. Accordingly, the risk associated with purchase concentration is considered limited. 2. Sales: In 2025, the Company did not have any customer accounting for more than 10% of net sales. In the first quarter of 2026, due to strong demand in the semiconductor industry, one customer accounted for 10.01% of sales. The Company will continue to develop new products and expand its customer base, and it is expected that sales concentration will not materially affect normal operations.
