2019 Business Report

In 2019, a year of the trade war, D-Link’s overall global economic growth forecast was lowered. In addition, due to the intense competition in networking communication industry, in addition to the existing suppliers, online service providers have also entered the competition. Faced with the adversity, D-Link strives to maintain a certain percentage of the market share. Faced with many of the above challenges, D-Link's management team continues to uphold the operating principles of "innovation", "execution", "inheritance" and "sustainable management", actively makes necessary organization and product adjustments, and does its best to create profits for shareholders.

Regarding the financial performance in 2019, the global consolidated revenue was NTD 17 billion, a decline of 12.3% compared to that of 2018. The gross profit margin was 27.9%, a decrease of 1% from the 28.9% gross profit margin in 2018. The net operating loss was NTD 380 million, an increase of NTD 630 million from the NTD 250 million profit in 2018. The net loss after tax was NTD 510 million, an increase of NTD 620 million from the net profit after tax of NTD 110 million in 2018, and the after-tax loss per share was NTD 0.78.

The Company's 2020 sales plans for each product category are as follows:

  1. Switch

  2. Through continuous strengthening of sales teams around the world and the active development of SI channel network, we focus on product lines including Managed Switch, Smart Switch and Nuclias Cloud.

  3. Wireless Router

  4. The Company has strategic cooperation with various network service providers to integrate the application services of both parties. In addition to being one of the business winners, the Company also invests in software R&D to strengthen product application differentiation to increase its competitiveness in the high-end router market. On the other hand, the Company aims to boost the product sales through the advantage of product brand established by Wi-Fi 6 high-end routers.

  5. Broadband Network Products

  6. The focus of product development will be laid on high-end, high added value and customized software requirements. Therefore, the Company has launch a series of products including VDSL IAD, G.fast IAD, 11ax VDSL router and XGS-PON.

  7. Mobile Broadband Devices

  8. The Company invests in the R&D of related new technologies such as 5G / 4.5G and small cell, and actively integrates third-party software to improve product differentiation. The Company has planned the launch of a variety of 5G NR indoor / outdoor products.

  9. Digital cameras and the IoT

  10. The Company focuses on strengthening product security and integrating cloud resources and third-party software applications to launch a complete solution / platform, in aim to increase customer stickiness to respond to low-cost competition, and maintain stable profits.

The development strategy and important production and sales policies:

  1. Build a complete network solution: The Company continues to develop professional capabilities for product integration, improve technical service, implement enterprise solutions, and strengthen the cooperation with VAD, VAR, and SI channels. And by introducing enterprise cloud services, the Company lowers the technical threshold and service costs of partners.

-8-

  1. Complete Cloud Netcom product line: The Company focuses on the rapid R&D development of the D-Link Cloud product line that integrates innovative service applications such as cloud monitoring, smart home, IoT, cloud storage, and mydlink platform, in aim to step ahead of the market, and build the top brand of cloud Netcom.

  2. Focus on strategic and new product promotion: Focusing on consumer customers and corporate customers, as well as several key product development lines, the Company grasps the market opportunities of huge market demand in the early stages, quickly launches innovative products, and implemented the applications of Security, Mesh, Voice Control, IoT and AI. This has raised the entry barrier for competitors, consolidated the D-Link brand's market leadership in these niche products. The strategic products are as follows: Consumer market: IP Camera, 5G, LTE, Mesh Router, 11ax Router and Smart Home.

Corporate market: Managed Switch, Smart Switch and Nuclias Cloud.

  1. Invest in R&D of the Company’s own software: Nowadays, the market is changing rapidly, and with the rise of the China’s red supply chain, software R&D has become an important key to differentiation. Cloud, switch and router are the core projects and the focus of the Company, and are the core R&D focus of the Company. Only through having the Company’s own core software will allow the Company to stay away from low-price competition and create more valuable products. With a long-term global strategic layout and hard work, responding to different cultures, understanding customer needs, developing and combining software development talents in various regions, the Company is able to exert its unique competitive advantage.

Looking forward to 2020, in the beginning of the year, the world is faced with the outbreak of COVID-19 in China, the rapid spreading of the epidemic. China has adopted anti-epidemic measures such as delayed resumption of work and city-wide lockdown, which has affected production and commercial activities. In addition, the US-China trade war also poses downside risks to long-term global economic growth. Facing the adversity of the business environment, in the internal aspect, D-Link will continue to strictly control the operation and management costs, actively adjust the structure of goods and channels, and improve profitability. In the external aspect, the Company will set up segmentation targets and strategic investments in accordance with market demand for product upgrades, to recover in developed markets and some emerging countries that are relatively stable. The Company will also enhance the overall product competitiveness and the Company's operating performance.

We would like to reiterate our thanks to all shareholders for your continued trust and support. The management team and all employees will continue to uphold the spirit of stable operation and sustainable development, implement corporate social responsibility, and work hard to achieve performance goals. Finally, we wish all shareholders a happy and safe life.
