I. Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
In 2025, the Company’s consolidated revenue reached NT$9,009,157 thousand, representing a 12.57% decrease compared to NT$10,304,487 thousand in 2024. The global petrochemical industry has recently entered a consolidation phase, with the continued decline in oil prices exerting downward pressure on downstream chemical product prices. Furthermore, tight raw material supply, geopolitical factors, and reciprocal tariffs have increased the complexity of product development and sales, further compressing profit margins. On the operational side, overall production and sales remained balanced, mainly supported by the Company’s product portfolio, which focuses on essential cleaning products with stable demand from a steady consumer base. In addition, continued growth in sectors such as industrial cleaning has helped maintain healthy inventory levels, providing support to selling prices.
Overall, 2025 can be characterized as more challenging than previous years. In addition to tariff pressures, exchange rates also showed significant volatility. However, through a continued stable operation plan and constant product optimization, the Company was still able to maintain a certain level of operational performance and market share.
Looking ahead to 2026, the global political situation still faces many uncertainties, which may lead to significant fluctuations in oil prices. On the external front, China’s continued expansion of chemical production capacity is likely to intensify competition causing a supply-demand imbalance. Sales to the U.S. market, on the other hand, are expected to gradually stabilize as tariff negotiations have largely been settled. On the operational side, the Company will continue to advance its ESG initiatives to reduce carbon emissions, while also promoting new product development. In addition, the Company will remain flexible in adjusting its sales strategies and production scheduling in response to regional market changes, with the goal of maintaining high utilization rates and ensuring stable operations and sustainable development under challenging conditions.
With respect to the operations of the subsidiary companies,
United Performance Materials Corp. (UPM) will continue to develop specialty applications for its resin business and expand into higher-value product segments. For existing products, the focus will be on cost reduction and enhancing competitiveness, with the aim of outperforming industry peers.
Great Victory Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (GVCI) will optimize its product portfolio, strengthen collaboration with international partners in developing new agrochemical products, and continue to reinforce its distribution network to further expand its presence in the domestic market.
Hershey Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. (HEC) will focus on product positioning and development in areas such as cleaning solutions for optoelectronic panels, air odor treatment, as well as petrochemical product distillation and sales as key development directions for the year.

Fusugar Industry Corp. (FSIC) will continue its cooperation with Defia Co., Ltd. in coffee roasting operations, while making effective use of existing plant facilities by leasing out idle factory space to generate additional income.
Chang Chun Formosan Union Fine Chemical (Changshu) Co., Ltd. (CCFU) is expected to commence trial production of its newly developed octylphenol product in July this year. Going forward, production will be flexibly adjusted between nonylphenol and octylphenol based on market demand, with the aim of improving overall plant utilization.
Finally, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to all shareholders for your continued support. The Company’s management team and all employees will remain committed to delivering sustainable and stable returns over the long term.

1-5 Diversity and Independence of the Board of Directors:
(1) Policy and Implementation of Diversity of the Board of Directors Members:
Based on the policy of diversification, strengthening corporate governance, and promoting the development of a sound Board composition and structure, the company's nomination of director candidates complies with the company's articles of association and adopts the candidate nomination procedure. After measuring professional background or relevant professional qualifications, etc., the nomination will seek the review and approval from the Board of Directors, and then it will be sent to the shareholders' meeting for further election. The number of directors who also serve as company managers in the composition of the Board of Directors should not exceed one-third of the number of directors. Moreover, the Board of Directors should consider its own operation, business model and development needs, to formulate an appropriate diversity policy, including but not limited to the following:
- Basic conditions and values: gender, age, nationality, and culture
-
Professional background (e.g. law, accounting, industry, finance, marketing or technology), professional skills and industry experience.
-
28 -
The Board members of the Company generally possess the knowledge, skills, and qualities necessary for the performance of their duties. To achieve the ideal objectives of corporate governance, the Board of Directors as a whole possesses the following competencies:
- operational judgment skills.
- accounting and financial analysis skills.
- business management skills.
- crisis management skills.
- industry knowledge.
- international market view.
- leadership skills.
- decision-making ability.
The Company currently has a total of 18 members on the Board of Directors (following one resignation), including 4 independent directors, specializing in the fields of finance and accounting, law, marketing, chemical engineering, and business management. Among the board members, there are 3 female directors and 1 director with employee status. The Company has always been committed to gender equality within its Board of Directors; currently, there are 3 female directors among the 18 members, representing 17%.
Explanation and Measures for Not Meeting the One-Third Gender Representation Requirement on the Board of Directors:
(1) Explanation: According to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, there are 18 members on the Board of Directors. (following one resignation) The current directors were elected at the shareholders' meeting held on June 16, 2023. Among them, there are three female directors. Although this met the relevant legal requirements at the time, it still falls short of the one-third threshold. This is primarily due to the nature of the industry, where identifying suitable talent within a short period is challenging.
(2) Action Taken: The Company will broaden its search for board candidates beyond industry peers, actively seeking female nominees from academia, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), or cross-industry consultancies who can provide diverse perspectives.
The current Board of Directors of the Company consists of 18 directors (following one resignation). The specific management objectives and achievement of the board diversity policy are as follows:
| Management objectives | Achievement |
|---|---|
| Directors who also serve as company managers should not exceed one-third of the number of directors | reached |
| The term of independent directors has not exceeded 3 terms | reached |
| Adequate and diverse expertise and skills | reached |
The implementation status of the Board Diversity Policy is as follows:
| Name\Diversification Core items | Nationality | Basic Component | Professional background / Experience | Knowledge and Skill |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gender | Employee of the company | Age | Seniority of tenure / Independent Directors | Account -lng |
| 31~40 | 41~50 | 51~60 | 61~70 | 71~80 |

(2) Board Independence:
According to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors shall consist of 15 to 20 members. Directors are elected through a candidate nomination system in accordance with Article 192-1 of the Company Act, with shareholders electing board members from the list of nominated candidates. In compliance with the Securities and Exchange Act, the Company is required to appoint independent
directors within the aforementioned board seats. The number of independent directors shall be no less than two and not less than one-fifth of the total number of board seats.
As of the shareholders' meeting held on June 16, 2023, the Company has 18 board members (following one resignation), including four independent directors. All directors have submitted a written "Statement" or relevant documents to the Company affirming their and their immediate family members' independence from the Company. They are in compliance with Paragraphs 3 and 4 of Article 26-3 of the Securities and Exchange Act, which require (except with approval by the competent authority) that a majority of board members must not have a spousal or second-degree relative relationship with one another.
Furthermore, Article 15 of the Board Meeting Rules explicitly states that if a director or the legal entity they represent has an interest in any matter on the board meeting agenda, the director must explain the material aspects of such interest during the meeting. If such an interest may harm the Company's interests, the director must recuse themselves from both discussion and voting on that matter and may not vote on behalf of another director.
If a director's spouse, blood relatives within the second degree, or a company in a subordinate or controlling relationship with the director has an interest in the agenda item, it is deemed that the director has a personal interest in that item. Board resolutions involving directors who are prohibited from voting shall be handled in accordance with Article 206, Paragraph 4, which refers to Article 180, Paragraph 2 of the Company Act. This ensures that all discussions and resolutions of board matters are based on objective and independent judgment by the directors.

| This table outlines the specific risks and opportunities associated with climate change that our company has identified, along with their estimated risk levels and applicable time frames. These are integral for guiding our strategic responses and planning for future scenarios. | |||
| 1. Transformation Risks - Policy and Regulatory Aspects - Increased Pricing of Greenhouse Gas Emissions | |||
| [Short-term] | |||
| Under the Climate Change Response Act, entities in the power sector and large-scale manufacturers with annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reaching 25,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) will be subject to carbon fee charges starting in 2025. Based on the current fee rate of NT$300 per metric ton and the Company’s average emissions in recent years, the estimated annual carbon fee expense is approximately NT$10–20 million (the actual amount will depend on actual emissions and the applicable fee rate), which may increase operating costs. | |||
| [Medium-term] | |||
| If carbon fee rates increase or emissions standards become more stringent, operating costs may rise further, potentially affecting product pricing strategies and market competitiveness. | |||
| [Response Strategy] | |||
| 1. Integrate carbon costs into capital expenditure decisions. When evaluating new equipment procurement, the Company will incorporate carbon emission costs into the overall assessment, including considerations for emission reduction potential and carbon price assumptions, to support procurement and investment decisions. Carbon cost assumptions will also take into account conditions in the Company’s major sales markets and will be updated annually for reference. | |||
| 2. Improve energy efficiency of existing equipment and operations. The Company will prioritize on-site energy-saving measures, such as upgrading to high-efficiency energy equipment, conducting regular |

| maintenance of process equipment, using lower-carbon or higher-calorific-value fuels, and improving pipe insulation and thermal management. |
-
Implement the approved voluntary reduction plan to mitigate policy risk. To reduce exposure to policy-related risks, the Company has submitted a voluntary emission reduction plan, which has been approved by the competent environmental authority. During the approved period (2025–2030), the Company may be eligible for preferential fee rates by implementing the approved reduction measures.
-
Transformation Risk - Technical: Low Carbon Technology Transformation
Carbon emissions from manufacturing processes are mainly due to process equipment. In order to achieve low-carbon processes and products, we continue to improve our equipment to save energy and reduce carbon emissions. -
Entity Risk - Immediacy
(1) The increase in the number of extreme weather events has led to an increase in the frequency of typhoons and rainstorms, which may result in flooding of the Kaohsiung factory, affecting the operation of the factory and causing potential financial losses, but the factory has completed the waterproofing project, so the impact on the overall operation will not be too great. As a result, the impact on the overall operation will not be too severe. The Company will take measures to minimize the immediate risk by implementing regular cleaning, maintenance and repair of the drainage system and establishing emergency response plans for typhoons and rainstorms.
(2) To address water restriction risks, the Company reduces cooling water discharge and enhances water resource utilization efficiency through recycling.
-
Resource Efficiency Opportunities - Reduced Water Use and Consumption
In addition to complying with the government’s water conservation policies, the Company has implemented water reduction plans to decrease reliance on raw water resources and reduce wastewater discharge. Although this may result in a slight increase in operating costs, the overall financial impact on operations is not expected to be significant. -
Energy Source Opportunities - Use of Low Carbon Energy
(1) Use of low carbon energy by replacing fuel oil with liquid natural gas.
(2) Installation of solar energy or procurement of green power to gradually increase the proportion of renewable energy in the production of electricity. | -

| 4. Describe how climate risk identification, assessment, and management processes are integrated into the overall risk management system. | 1. The Company develops management strategies for major risk issues each year and reviews their effectiveness through the Sustainability Development Committee. In recent years, the increasing frequency of extreme weather events has highlighted the urgency of the global warming crisis. As a result, governments around the world are placing greater emphasis on climate change and have revised national and regional regulations to urge businesses to incorporate climate-related issues into their operational management. In addition to identifying operational risks associated with climate change, the Company also follows the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) issued by the Financial Stability Board (FSB). It integrates the four core elements—“Governance,” “Strategy,” “Risk Management,” and “Metrics and Targets”—into its operations. Governance performance related to these issues is disclosed in the Company’s annual report, official website, and sustainability report, enabling stakeholders to understand the potential impact of climate-related risks and opportunities and the corresponding measures adopted by FUCC. |
| 2. Climate-related risks are identified, assessed, and managed through the following process: | |
| Collection of climate and environmental background data → Assessment of risk and operational scope → Development of a list of climate risks, opportunities, and internal impact factors → Risk and operational/impact analysis → Implementation of control measures and target setting → Review of the effectiveness of strategies and targets. | |
| 3. The Sustainability Task Force evaluates transition risks (policy and regulatory, technology, market, and reputational), physical risks (acute and chronic), and opportunities (resource efficiency, energy sources, products/services, markets, and resilience) in accordance with the management process. These assessments are then discussed and identified through the Sustainability Committee. | |
| For details on the above items, please refer to the relevant sections of the Sustainability Report—Risk Management, Climate Change Management, TCFD Risk Management Process, and the TCFD Climate-Related Risks and Opportunities Disclosure Framework—or visit the Sustainability page on the FUCC official website. | |
| 5. If scenario analysis is used to assess resilience to climate change risks, the scenarios, parameters, assumptions, analysis factors and major financial impacts used should be described. | In accordance with the TCFD recommendations, the Company identifies climate change risks by establishing scenarios based on transition risks and physical risks to evaluate climate resilience strategies. Given the significant impact of climate-related risks on the Company's operations, the most severe scenario is used as the basis for analysis. |

| Physical Risk | Acute Risk | Typhoons, Floods | Extreme weather events such as strong winds caused by typhoons may require plant shutdowns to prevent process hazards. Sudden heavy rainfall or prolonged precipitation could lead to flooding and suspension of plant operations, posing a risk of business interruption and financial loss. | |
| Chronic Risk | Water Shortage | Based on 1986–2005 as the baseline period, climate scenario analysis for the near-term period (2016–2035) indicates that the frequency of drought events may increase, potentially affecting the reliability of production water supply and capacity utilization. The Company has continued to strengthen water resource management, improve water-use efficiency, and enhance backup and contingency arrangements to mitigate potential operational impacts. | ||
| 6. If there is a transition plan for managing climate-related risks, describe the content of the plan, and the indicators and targets used to identify and manage physical risks and transition risks. | 1. In accordance with the carbon fee levy regulations, the Company obtained approval for its voluntary emissions reduction plan application in early 2026. Following the review, the progress of the application will be disclosed and updated in the subsequent year. | |||
| 2. For more details, please refer to the relevant sections of the Sustainability Report—Risk Management, Climate Change Management, TCFD Risk Management Process, and the TCFD Climate-Related Risks and Opportunities Disclosure Framework—or visit the Sustainability section on the FUCC official website. | ||||
| 7. If internal carbon pricing is used as a planning tool, the basis for setting the price should be stated. | Starting in 2024, the Company has begun calculating its greenhouse gas emissions on a monthly basis in accordance with the Climate Change Response Act and its related sub-laws promulgated by the Ministry of Environment. Beginning in 2025, incorporate a carbon cost of NT$300 per metric ton into its operational performance calculations. This approach aims to quantify greenhouse gas emissions costs and drive emission reduction efforts. At the same time, to promote carbon reduction in process equipment, the Company identifies high-emission equipment areas and estimates the emission differences between continuing to use existing equipment and replacing it. When equipment replacement is required, carbon emission costs are considered as part of the procurement evaluation criteria. | |||
| 8. If climate-related targets have been set, the activities covered, the scope of greenhouse gas emissions, the planning horizon, and the progress achieved each year should be specified. If carbon credits or renewable energy certificates (RECs) are used to achieve relevant targets, the source and quantity of carbon credits or RECs to be offset should be specified. | The Company has long been committed to environmental protection, striving to achieve a green operational model characterized by “maximized production efficiency and minimized environmental impact,” with the aim of creating a win-win outcome for both the economy and the environment. | |||
| The “Sustainability Task Force” holds quarterly meetings to supervise progress. For the greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction timeline and annual progress, please refer to Section 1–2: GHG Reduction Goals, Strategies, and Action Plans. | ||||
| At the FUCC Linyuan Plant, a fuel energy carbon reduction plan has been in place since 2011, gradually converting process heating furnaces from fuel oil to liquefied natural gas (LNG). The furnace conversion was completed in 2017. |

|---|---|
| By selecting lower-carbon fuel sources and improving energy efficiency, the Company has enhanced performance in both energy savings and GHG emissions reduction, contributing to environmental sustainability. | |
| In 2025, the Company obtained emissions reduction credits totaling 5,804 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO_{2}e) issued by the Ministry of Environment for the period from 2021 to 2022. Cumulatively, the Company has obtained a total of 32,778 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO_{2}e) in issued emissions reduction credits. | |
| At this stage, the Company uses the purchase of renewable energy certificates (RECs) as a preliminary method for reducing carbon emissions. After assessing available space at various operating sites, the Company will consider installing equipment or continuing to procure renewable energy. In 2025, the Company purchased 52,336 kWh of electricity generated from renewable energy sources. | |

III. The Company's Policies regarding Dividends and Implementation Status
1. Dividends policies
The Company may distribute profits or allocate losses after the end of each semi-annual accounting period. If there is a profit at the end of a semi-annual accounting period, it must first be used to offset accumulated losses, then to estimate and reserve for taxes, employee compensation, and director compensation. Next, 10% of the remaining profit should be appropriated as a statutory reserve, unless the statutory reserve has already reached the total amount of the Company's paid-in capital, in which case this requirement does not apply. Additionally, any special reserve required by law or regulatory authorities should be appropriated or reversed. If there is still profit remaining, this amount, combined with the undistributed earnings from the previous half-year, will be used to prepare a profit distribution proposal by the Board of Directors. If the distribution is to be made through the issuance of new shares, it must be approved by the shareholders' meeting; if the distribution is to be made in cash, it must be decided by the Board of Directors.
In accordance with Article 240 of the Company Act, the Company authorizes the Board of Directors to make a resolution with the attendance of more than two-thirds of the directors and the majority of the attending directors. This resolution allows for the distribution of dividends and bonuses or the entire or part of the statutory reserve and capital reserve
stipulated under Article 241 of the Company Act, to be issued in cash. This action will subsequently be reported to the shareholders' meeting.
The Company may, based on the overall capital budget plans, distribute 40% to 60% of the surplus in the form of stock dividends and the rest in the form of cash dividends to retain the necessary funds. If there are no major capital budget plans for a specific fiscal year or the working capital requires to be replenished, the surplus may be distributed fully in the form of cash dividends. In other words, if a large amount of capital is required for the expansion and construction of plants during a specific fiscal year, the surplus may be distributed fully in the form of stock dividends. The aforesaid surplus distribution shall be handled by the board of directors who shall draft a surplus distribution plan for submission to the shareholders' meeting for resolution prior to the distribution.
- Dividend distribution proposal submitted to the shareholders' meeting
On August 11, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors resolved not to distribute the earnings for the first half of 2025.
On March 11, 2026, the Board resolved to distribute a cash dividend of NT$1.00 per share from the earnings of the second half of 2025. However, this dividend distribution plan is still pending approval by the shareholders' meeting.
IV. The impact of the proposal of issuance of bonus shares to be reviewed by the shareholders' meeting on the Company's business operating performance and EPS
Not applicable because there was no proposal of issuance of bonus shares to be reviewed by the shareholders' meeting of this fiscal year and the Company was not required to prepare financial forecasting.
V. Employee Compensation and Remuneration for Directors and Supervisors
- The percentage and scope of the employees' compensation and the remuneration of directors and supervisors as stated in the Company's articles of association:
(1) The Company shall allocate 2.5% of its annual profit (if any) as the employees' wages (of which no less than 0.3% of the profit shall be distributed to frontline employees) and 2.5% (maximum) of such profit as the directors' remuneration. However, the Company shall first retain a sufficient amount of such profit for covering any cumulative losses.
The distribution of employees' compensation may be in the forms of stocks or cash based on the resolution (which shall be reported to the shareholders) made by a meeting of the board of directors where more than two-thirds of the directors present and more than half of the present directors agree on such distribution. Such wage may be distributed in the form of stocks or cash to the employees of the affiliates who satisfy certain requirements.
(2) The calculation basis for the estimated amount of employees' compensation and the remuneration of directors and supervisors of the current period, the calculation basis for the number of shares for distribution of stock dividends, and the accounting treatment when there is a difference between the estimated amount and the actual distributed amount:
- 98 -
The Company’s estimated amount for distribution of employees' compensation and remuneration of directors for 2025 was NT$37,415,842 in total. The amount was proportionally estimated based on the current year's pro rata portion of the pre-tax income before the distribution of employees' and directors' remuneration, and was recognized as the operating cost and expense for 2025. If there is any difference between the actual distributed amount (determined by the board of directors) and the estimated number of directors, changes in accounting estimates would be adopted. If the above employee bonus is fully distributed in the form of stocks, the number of shares for distribution in the form of stock dividends shall be calculated based on the closing price on the last date prior to the resolution of the meeting of the board of directors for FY2026 with the consideration of the effects of ex-dividends.
(3) The proposed distributed amount of employees’ compensation approved by the board of directors:
a. The amount for distributed cash/stock compensation for employees and the remuneration of directors:
The amount of the Company’s distributed employees' compensation and directors’ remuneration determined by the resolution of the board of directors for 2026 has no different from the original estimated amount of NT$37,415,842 specified in the financial statements of 2025.
b. The proposed distributed amount of employees' compensation in the form of stocks and its proportion of the total amount of net profit after tax and total employee wage specified in the individual financial report for the current period: Not applicable.
(4) The actual distribution of employee dividends and remuneration of directors and supervisors for the previous fiscal year:
The following table indicates the actual distribution of the Company’s surplus for the employees’ and directors’ remuneration in 2024:
| 2024 | |
|---|---|
| Resolution by the board of directors | |
| Cash dividends for employees | $ 22,607,175 |
| Directors’ remuneration | $21,530,642 |

2. Overview of the Industry
(1) Current Status of the Industry and its Development
The Company’s major business is the manufacture and sale of the following products and derivatives: Alkylbenzene, Alkyl phenol, Alkylbenzene Sulfonic Acid, and hydrocarbon resin. Among them, Alkylbenzene and Alkylbenzene Sulfonic Acid are the necessary upstream raw material for household laundry powder and detergents. Alkyl phenol is the upstream raw material of surfactants and lubricant additives for industrial detergents and lubricants. Hydrocarbon resin is the upstream raw material of adhesives and hot-melt adhesives and can provide enhanced viscosity and wetting features. The status of the petrochemical industry to which the Company belongs and the related industry operational risks are described as follows:
(a) Alkylbenzene
Alkylbenzene is currently the most widely used upstream raw material in the detergents for household chemicals. It can be divided into the types of Linear Alkylbenzene (LAB) and Branched Alkylbenzene (BAB) based on the molecular geometry. The detergents made of LAB are called soft detergent because the wastewater it generates is easily biodegradable; while those made of BAB are referred to as hard detergent because they are not easily degraded biologically. Due to environmental protection considerations, hard detergent products are only allowed to be used in very few countries.
Alkylbenzene is mainly used in products such as detergents and laundry powder. In addition, because of its low condensation point and good low-temperature fluidity, it has good compatibility with mineral oil and synthetic hydrocarbon oil, which allows it to be gradually adopted in the fields of industrial lubricants such as Alkylbenzene oil for electrical appliances, transformers, switches of electrical appliances, and synthetic Alkylbenzene oil for the refrigeration unit, etc.
The Company’s production volume of Alkylbenzene accounts for 99% of the total volume in Taiwan, of which approximately 70% is Linear Alkylbenzene and 30% is Branched Alkylbenzene.
Due to the growing demand for industrial and household detergent products, the global Alkylbenzene market has developed slowly but steadily in the past few years. Among them, the main growth momentum comes from the improvement of living standards in emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and Central and South America. In particular, the Asia-Pacific region will be the region with the highest consumption of Alkylbenzene in the world. Its growth rate would also be the highest and is expected to become another driving force for market development. However, the fluctuation of crude oil prices in the international market remains a major concern for Alkylbenzene manufacturers. The future development of the Alkylbenzene market is expected to move toward the development of more diversified products and the commercialization of specific applications.
(b) Alkylphenol
The industrial application of Nonylphenol began in the 1950s. It is mainly used in nonionic surfactants and modified Phenolic Formaldehyde Resin, and for few cases, in the production of anionic surfactants, lubricant additives, and other products. Overall, more than 70% of globally produced Nonylphenol is used in various surfactants, with the remainder applied in cleaning agents, mineral processing agents, and other industrial uses.
In addition to being used in various surfactants, Nonylphenol can produce many application products after being chemically synthesized with other petrochemicals intermediate raw materials, such as to produce TNPP (acquired from the esterification with phosphorus trichloride) for the antioxidant for natural and synthetic rubber, or nonylphenol formaldehyde resin (acquired from syncretization with formaldehyde solution under an alkaline environment) for the high-grade copper-clad laminate of PCB due to its high-frequency resistance, brightness, flexibility, and water resistance. Therefore, the fields covered by application products of Nonylphenol are quite broad.
Currently, the global Nonylphenol manufacturers with an annual production volume of more than 10,000 metric tons are mainly located in the United States, Poland, and China. The aforementioned developed countries and China are also the main markets of the demand for Nonylphenol. The major Taiwanese manufacturers of the Nonylphenol industry are FUCC and China Man-Made Fiber Corporation (CMFC), both of which are mainly exporting their products.
Dodecyl phenol is a relatively new Alkylphenol product with a smaller volume of global supply. It is mainly used in the lubricating oil industry and is a lubricating oil additive formulation that can be manufactured as a single agent available to be further mixed as a complex agent.
(c) Hydrocarbon resin
Based on the chemical properties, hydrocarbon resin can be divided into three categories respectively known as aliphatic resin, aromatic resin, and hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin.
i. Aliphatic resin (C5 resin as the representative product)
Aliphatic resin is mainly produced by using C5 diene (piperylene) as the raw materials. Since the raw materials are by-products of the separation process of isoprene, those manufacturers with the ability to separate isoprene are usually able to produce C5 hydrocarbon resin. Because C5 hydrocarbon resin has good compatibility with SIS, SBS, SEBS, SEPS, and other styrene polymers, natural and synthetic rubber, and EVA, it is a good additive for adhesives and is mainly used in the adhesive and sealant industry. It is mostly used for the production of products containing hot-melt adhesives and pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA), such as tapes or labels. In recent years, C5 hydrocarbon resin has begun to gradually replace natural resin tackifiers (such as rosin or terpene resin) and take the major market position due to its better and more stable peel and fast
- 103 -
adhesion, moderate melt viscosity, good heat resistance, and lower prices.
ii. Aromatic resin (C9 hydrocarbon resin as the representative product)
Aromatic resin is refined from raw materials such as vinyl toluene, styrene, and indacene. The vinyl toluene and indacene are all by-products in the pyrolysis process of Ethylene, only those manufacturers with Ethylene pyrolysis equipment can produce such products and therefore, its supply is limited by the output volume of the Ethylene pyrolysis plant. Because it is composed of Olefins or Cycloolefins containing nine carbon atoms for polymerization, it is also called C9 hydrocarbon resin. C9 hydrocarbon resin has the features of low acid value, good miscibility, low melting point, high water resistance, and proper alcohol and chemical resistance, and is widely used in adhesives (hot-melt adhesives) and printing inks, as well as serving as the modifier for coating material industry. In recent years, as the prices of natural resin raw materials such as rubber and tall oil rosin esters have risen, C9 hydrocarbon resin has gradually expanded its market demand with relatively low production costs.
iii. Hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin
Hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin is a compound acquired from the hydrogenation reaction of a hydrocarbon resin. It is mainly used for providing additional viscosity and wetting and is currently used in products such as diapers, maxi pads, and hot-melt adhesives. Among them, the hot-melt adhesive has the advantages of environmentally friendly, safe, rapid curing, and suitable for automated production, which makes it become one of the fastest-growing adhesive products. In the past, hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin was mostly used as an adhesive for sneakers and maxi pads, etc., and because of its colorless and odorless properties, it can be used as a plastic film material for food packaging or the substitute for natural resin.
The Company on July 31, 2012 (the base date) transferred the business of its hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin units to the affiliate UPM who is also responsible for hydrogenation and manufacturing of the relevant products. Hence, the Company currently uses UPM to dedicate to the production and sales of C9 hydrocarbon resin and hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin products. C9 hydrocarbon resin and hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin are produced by the hydrogenation process of a hydrocarbon resin. The Company's hydrocarbon resin business is expected to maintain stable growth due to the limited supply and the rising prices of natural resources such as rosin, the increasingly extensive high-end applications of hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin, and the rapidly growing demand for hot-melt adhesives.

(2) The relationship of the industry's up-, mid-, and downstream
(a) Alkylbenzene
Alkylbenzene is within the midstream of the household chemical detergent industry. It is critical and irreplaceable for industrial development. Its upstream industry is the petrochemical industry. The refinery provides kerosene and produces n-alkanes after extraction and refining. After the Company obtains n-alkane raw materials, it will process and produce products such as Alkylbenzene or Alkylbenzene Sulfonic Acid, which are then supplied to manufacturers in the downstream detergent product industry, such as P&G, Unilever, and Kao.

(b) Alkylphenol
Alkylphenol is within the midstream of the industrial detergents and lubricants industry. The upstream is also the petrochemical industry. After naphtha is extracted from crude oil at refineries, Propylene, Benzene, Cumene, and Phenol would be extracted subsequently. The Company purchases phenolic raw materials and then adds Nonene or Dodecene to synthesize Nonylphenol or Dodecylphenol supplied to surfactant and lubricant additive manufacturers. The final products are industrial detergents and lubricants.

(c) C9 Hydrocarbon Resin/Hydrogenated Hydrocarbon Resin:
Hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin is a solid or liquid by-product formed by polymerization of mono- and diene components from distillation of the five-carbon (C5) and nine-carbon (C9) compounds produced in the pyrolysis process of naphtha for refining ethylene. Therefore, its upstream is the petrochemical industry. As far as downstream industries are concerned, hydrogenated hydrocarbon resins are widely used by-products such as adhesives and coating materials. The final products include diapers, sticky notes, and road marking paints.

(3) Trends of development of products
(a) Application development trend in terminal products
With the development of modernization, in daily life, people will not be willing to spend too much time on household cleaning chores, but the requirements for household cleanliness are gradually increasing. Therefore, the currently available conventional detergents can no longer meet the living requirements of people of the modern days. In the future, there would be two types of development for detergents. One is the comprehensive development which endows the detergent products with the feature of comprehensive cleaning functions to remove multiple types of stains in various situations at the same time; the other is the development of special-purpose which tailors the detergent products to effectively remove stains and pathogens generated from specific conditions. From the above description, one could know that either of the development would further improve the functions of the detergent products.
(b) Future trends for the composition of product raw materials
Generally speaking, the conventional detergent products are mainly chemically synthesized which replaced soap after WWI. These products are usually composed of surfactants, solvents, and additives. Because of the good cleaning effects and convenience, they have become necessary consumer products in modern society ranging from industrial and mining enterprises to household cleaning. However, with the development of society, some problems with synthetic detergent are gradually being questioned. Some of the raw materials of conventional detergent products come from by-products of the petrochemical industry, which would have a certain impact on human health. Therefore, the development of healthy, green, environmentally friendly detergent products has become the future development trend.
(4) Competition of the products
The petrochemical industry uses naphtha or natural gas as raw materials to produce Ethylene, Propylene, Benzene, and other basic raw materials via the pyrolysis of naphtha, and intermediate raw materials for plastics, rubber, and fibers via additional processing. The downstream products of the petrochemical industry are widely used for daily-life purposes as well as construction materials, auto parts, and high-tech product parts, etc. Therefore, the petrochemical industry is a basic industry. The Company's products are mainly used for laundry powder and detergent, and as for the
conditions of product competition, analysis for the three major types of products of the Company is presented below:
(a) Alkylbenzene
The alkylbenzene produced by the Company holds a domestic market share of up to 99%. Major international competitors include leading companies such as ISU, Sasol, and Indorama.
(b) Alkylphenol
The domestic competitor of the Nonylphenol produced by the Company is CMFC who mainly supplies its products to its reinvested company PACC, while FUCC supplies its products to SJC and Changchun Group. Current international competitors include major producers such as SI in the United States. In view of the environmental issues and trade barriers affecting the market demand for Nonylphenol, FUCC has been actively developing and producing a new product known as Dodecylphenol. In addition to expanding new markets, it can also fill up the underperformed production capacity of the Alkylphenol plant in order to maintain or even increase the Group interests.
(c) C9 Hydrocarbon Resin/Hydrogenated Hydrocarbon Resin
At present, only a few companies such as the Company and Yuan Liang Group are engaged in the production of C9 hydrocarbon resin, and only the Company produces hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin. Therefore, in terms of domestic market supply, it would an oligopolistic industry.

In addition to expanding new markets, it can also fill up the underperformed production capacity of the alkylphenol plant in order to maintain or even increase the Group interests.
(c) Hydrocarbon resin
i. C9 hydrocarbon resin
At present, C9 hydrocarbon resin is mainly produced in Asia, accounting for about 90% of the overall global production, followed by America and Europe. As being affected by the increase in crude oil prices, the Asian region will have an advantage in raw materials compared with Europe and the United States in the future. According to Argus's 2024 survey data, the total global hydrocarbon resin production capacity is about 3.45 million metric tons, and the UPM's annual production capacity of 48,000 tons represents about 1.4% of such global total volume.
ii. Hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin
According to Argus survey data, the Company holds approximately 2.2% of the global market share and is expected to continue growing.
(3) The future supply and demand situation and growth of the market
(a) Alkylbenzene
Due to the decrease in the effective ingredients of detergents and the increase in imported detergents, domestic demand has continued to decline; however, there is still room for growth in demand in foreign markets. Because the Company maintains a long-term stable supply-demand relationship with foreign customers, export sales maintain at a stable level.
(b) Alkylphenol
In response to market trends, the Company has started to produce Dodecyl Phenol through process improvements to increase its competitiveness. It is hoped that new
- 109 -
markets can be developed and a considerable market share can be obtained, which would generate considerable benefit in terms of sales volume and amount.
(c) C9 hydrocarbon resin/hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin
The hydrocarbon resin is a necessity for people’s livelihood consumption. Therefore, generally speaking, the industry fluctuates with the global economic cycle. The C5 or C9 hydrocarbon resin industry generally grows and declines with the fluctuation of the economy. In the past, hydrocarbon resin was regarded as the product at the lowest tier of the industry due to its color and odor and used by industries of oil-based coating material, rubber, and ink as a secondary raw material for several decades. However, in recent years, with environmental protection requirements, it is expected that the solvent oil market for oil-based coating material and ink will gradually shrink, and the market for high-end products used in adhesives (tackifier) would gradually expand. Therefore, high-end applications of hydrogenated hydrocarbon resins or C5/C9 hydrocarbon resins are expected to gradually grow.
(4) Competitive niche
(a) Fully grasp the sources of supply of materials
In order to stabilize production costs, the Company’s raw material purchases are mostly performed based on long-term contracts to connect to the pipelines of the main supplier, CPC, for the direct transportation of raw materials. This can achieve safety and cost-saving purposes and facilitate production. In recent years, new distillation equipment has been installed to ensure the sound quality of the raw materials.
(b) Independent research and development capabilities
The Company owns the technology for the nonylphenol and hydrogenated resin process, and continuously invests in new process innovation, and research and development, which can save payment of royalties, thereby reduce costs and increase the price competitiveness of products. The Company also has upstream raw material development capabilities, which can make the source of raw materials diversified, reduce the cost of purchase, increase profitability, and increase the price competitiveness of products.
(c) Superior geographical position with logistics management advantages
The company is located in Taiwan which is the hub of transportation routes in Asia. Therefore, compared with competitors located in other countries, the Company’s cost of bulk shipping to the global markets is relatively low, which allows the rapid provision of services that customers need in a timely manner.
(5) Favorable and unfavorable factors and countermeasures for development
(a) Favorable factors
i. The market demand for Alkylbenzene, Nonylphenol, and petroleum resins
- 110 -
remains stable, while certain products—such as hydrogenated petroleum resins—benefit from high technical entry barriers. Coupled with rising environmental awareness across countries, these factors support a positive growth outlook for the sector.
ii. The Company maintains good cooperative relations with domestic and foreign suppliers to ensure long-term stable supply sources.
iii. The international marketing channels are robust. In addition to establishing cooperative relations with downstream manufacturers, the Company is establishing marketing channels via the distribution system.
(b) Unfavorable factors
i. Restriction to profitability due to raw material price fluctuations
As the petrochemical industry is likely to be affected by fluctuations in international crude oil prices, in particular, the political instability, frequent riots, strikes, and destruction of oil production or storage equipment especially in some oil-exporting countries would cause oil prices to fluctuate.
Countermeasures
In addition to maintaining long-term cooperative relations with major suppliers (such as Taiwan's CPC), the Company also signs supply contracts with upstream suppliers to ensure the long-term and stable source of supply of raw materials.
ii. Difficulties in recruitment
Since the information and electronics sectors remain the key industry in Taiwan, the general new graduates tend to apply for job positions in related fields. In addition, chemical industry talents require rich experience accumulation and technology inheritance, so it is not easy to recruit high-quality R&D talents.
Countermeasures
In order to attract and retain talents, the Company not only improves the software and hardware equipment of the working environment and improves the welfare system, but also enhances the education and training programs for employees, and arranges positions according to the profession and characteristics of the employees, thereby enhancing the professional quality and technical level of the staff.

The Company's major products are Alkylbenzenes, Alkylphenols, and hydrocarbon resins. The sales of the major products accounted for more than 90% of the operating income in the last two fiscal years. Therefore, the Company purchases the raw materials of its major products, which are Benzene, n-alkanes, Normal Olefins, Tetrapropylenes, Tri polypropylenes, Phenols, and hydrocarbon resins. Due to the industrial characteristics, the petrochemical industry in some countries is state-owned to facilitate the vertical integration of the up-, mid-, and downstream of the supply chains to ensure that the sufficient supply of raw materials; and the domestic oil market in Taiwan was also state-owned in the early periods, which is currently shifting towards privatization. However, the current domestic oil product market remains oligopolistic. Against this backdrop, the Company has continued to actively increase the procurement ratio from other suppliers and worked to diversify its supply sources. In 2025, purchases from Supplier 0001 accounted for 18.92% of the total, while purchases from Supplier 0037 accounted for 16.48%. Overall, reducing reliance on a single supplier and further enhancing supply chain stability.

VI. Analysis and Assessment of Risks
(1) The impact of interest rates, changes in exchange rates, and inflation on the Company's gains and losses and future countermeasures:
a. Changes in interest rates:
i. The short-term borrowings of the Company are mostly fixed-rate debts, and the current market funds are sufficient, and hence it is assessed that the cash flow risk of changes in interest rates is not significant.
ii. The long-term borrowings of the Company are financial products with floating interest rates. Therefore, changes in market interest rates will cause the effective interest rates of debt financial products to change accordingly, which would cause fluctuation of future cash flows.
b. Changes in exchange rates:
The Company's purchases and sales are mainly denominated in U.S. dollars, and the Company's foreign currency assets are greater than the positions of foreign currency liabilities, and the foreign currency collection period is slightly longer than the payment period. Therefore, it is expected that the fluctuation of market exchange rates would cause relatively significant market risk.
c. Inflation:
Due to the impact of global oil prices and fluctuation of prices of other related resources prices of recent years, the overall economic development has shown a trend of slight inflation. However, the transaction prices between the Company and customers and suppliers are mostly adjusted by the market mechanism and are less affected by inflation. In addition, the Company always focuses on economic development and timely adopt countermeasures. The product price would still cover the cost. Therefore, the Company has not been significantly affected by inflation so far.
(2) Policies for engaging in high-risk, high-leverage investments, fund loans to other third parties, endorsements and guarantee, and derivatives transactions, the main reasons for gains or losses, and the future countermeasures:
The Company does not engage in high-risk, high-leverage investments and derivatives transactions in the most recent years. The funds are loaned and the endorsement and guarantee are all provided to affiliates or reinvested companies of the Company, none of which has encountered financial difficulties that would damage the Company's creditor's rights or required the Company to cover the debts which such affiliate or reinvested company could not repay on its own.
(3) Future plans and estimated expenses of R&D:
Unit : NT$ thousand
| R&D Plans | Current Status | Required R&D Investment | Estimated Timing to Achieve Mass Production |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydrogenated Resin Catalyst Testing | Sequential testing of Hydrogenation catalysts from four different suppliers | 3,000 | The on-site trial production evaluation will be conducted in 2026. |
| High-Value Product Research | Batch / fixed bed testing in Lab | 5,000 | To be evaluated after obtaining the testing results in 2026. |
Factors of Influence: Source of raw materials, costs after mass production, and market acceptance.
