Except for the new and amendments to HKFRS Accounting Standards mentioned below, the directors of the Company anticipate that the application of all other new and amendments to HKFRS Accounting Standards will have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements in the foreseeable future.
HKFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
HKFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, which sets out requirements on presentation and disclosures in financial statements, will replace HKAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. This new HKFRS Accounting Standard, while carrying forward many of the requirements in HKAS 1, introduces new requirements to present specified categories and defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss; provide disclosures on management-defined performance measures (MPMs) in the notes to the financial statements and improve aggregation and disaggregation of information to be disclosed in the financial statements. In addition, some HKAS 1 paragraphs have been moved to HKAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (the title of which will be changed to “Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements” upon effective of HKFRS 18) and HKFRS 7. Minor amendments to HKAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and HKAS 33 Earnings per Share are also made.
HKFRS 18, and amendments to other standards, will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with early application permitted. HKFRS 18 requires retrospective application with specific transition provisions. The application of the new standard is not expected to have significant impact on the financial performance and positions of the Group in terms of recognition and measurement. However, it is expected to affect the structure and presentation of the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Additional disclosures required for the Group’s MPMs will be disclosed in a separate note to the consolidated financial statements.
- BASIS OF PREPARATION
(a) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable HKFRS Accounting Standards, which include all Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”), Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and HK(IFRIC) Interpretations, HK Interpretations and HK(SIC) Interpretations (collectively referred to as “Interpretations”), as issued by the HKICPA and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange.
(b) Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, which are measured at fair value as explained in the accounting policies below.
(c) Functional and presentation currency
The financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is also the functional currency of the Company and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (“RMB’000”) except when otherwise indicated.
(d) Going concern assessment
The directors of the Company have, at the time of approving the consolidated financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

Please refer to the announcement of the Company dated 2 January 2025 for details.
As the Remaining Investment Amount was yet to be settled as at 31 December 2024, the management of the Group assessed the expected credit loss related to the Remaining Investment Amount due from the Investor by estimating the recoverable amount with reference to the fair value of the equity interests of Shenzhen Jiahong held by the Investor to be deregistered (the “Relevant Equity Interests”). The fair value of the ordinary shares of Shenzhen Jiahong was used in estimating the fair value of the Other Receivables because it was expected that as a result of the Reduction of Share Capital, the percentage of equity interests to be held by other shareholders of Shenzhen Jiahong, who are holding ordinary shares of Shenzhen Jiahong, would be increased.
As at 31 December 2024, the fair value of the Relevant Equity Interests was approximately RMB11,000,000 which was made with reference to the valuation report of the ordinary shares of Shenzhen Jiahong dated 28 March 2025 prepared by Jones Lang LaSalle Corporate Appraisal and Advisory Limited, an independent valuer.
(ii) The amount includes the prepayment to the independent third parties suppliers amounting to approximately RMB33,150,000 (2024: approximately RMB42,792,000) for the purchase of raw material and the prepayment disclosed in note (iii) below.
(iii) The amount includes the prepayment of approximately RMB1,411,000 as at 31 December 2024 for the purchase of machinery. The machinery was delivered to the Company during the year ended 31 December 2025.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The Board hereby presents the annual results of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2025 (the "Year" or "2025"), together with the comparative figures for the corresponding year ended 31 December 2024 (the "Previous Year" or "2024").
Introduction
HG Semiconductor Limited (the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") is principally engaged in the design, development, manufacturing, subcontracting and sales of semiconductor products, including light-emitting diode ("LED") beads, new generation of semiconductor gallium nitride ("GaN") chips, and GaN device related application products in China. With the Group's expertise in LED manufacturing, strong scientific research team and research and development ("R&D") capability, the Group has in recent years devoted itself to the application of GaN-related products in the third-generation of semiconductors and has gradually achieved business transformation.
The Group has continued to propel its overall business development and accelerate the realisation of chip manufacturing and production capacity, with the aim to become a semiconductor integrated device manufacturing ("IDM") enterprise that spans the whole industry chain, including research and development, manufacturing, packaging and package testing, and sales, with a particular focus on semiconductor design and manufacturing, to capture market opportunities and to strive to become a leading third generation semiconductor supplier in the Greater China region.
Industry Review
In the 2025, the LED lighting industry, which is widely connected with fields of architectural lighting and electronic consumer products, suffered continuous negative impacts due to factors such as the sluggish real estate market and weak consumer demand for electronic products. Meanwhile, the competition in the LED industry was increasingly intensified. Many large LED manufacturers and suppliers had competitive advantages in technology research and development, product quality, and pricing. All of the abovementioned had an impact on the overall demand for the Group's products.
In the semiconductor industry, according to the 2025 Factbook released by the Semiconductor Industry Association ("SIA"), China is the largest single country market in the world, and its market demand has shown good growth momentum in various segments, including technological innovation, power devices, automotive electronics, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things. Favorable government policies and industrial development strategies have also provided good development opportunities for China's semiconductor industry, especially in the fields of new energy and new energy vehicle electronics. China's new energy investment has grown rapidly, along with leading position in photovoltaic, wind power generation, energy storage, batteries, and other industries globally. China's new energy vehicle market is experiencing rapid development, and the market demand for related automotive intelligent driving chips and power chips is growing quickly.
- 18 -
According to the Autumn 2025 Semiconductor Market Forecast Update released by the WSTS, the global semiconductor market is expected to grow by more than 25 percent, reaching USD 975 billion. Growth is expected across all regions and product categories. Memory and Logic are again projected to lead, both increasing by over 30 percent year over year, supported by demand for data center infrastructure and the emergence of initial AI edge applications.
In 2025, the tech war and tariff-based confrontation between China and the United States continued to intensify. The semiconductor industry has become the most visible arena in the China and United States tech war. China's semiconductor imports declined by 12% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2025 according to Chinese Customs data. The United States successively imposed export control sanctions on Chinese enterprises involved in manufacturing chips and related technologies, and restricted the sales of high-end chips by enterprises in the United States to China, so as to curb the development of China's semiconductor industry. The United States and allies implement export control measures on semiconductor manufacturing equipment such as extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography, and chemical materials, to restrict the export of such equipment to China, which jointly have constrained China's advanced node production capabilities. Nevertheless, the various restrictions imposed by various countries on China's semiconductor industry have transformed into China's driving force. As the world's largest importer of semiconductor chips as well as an important chip consumption market, to overcome the restrictions imposed by various countries, China has invested more resources and funds in scientific research, causing the semiconductor industry to undergo rapid development. In addition to the accelerated domestic manufacturing of semiconductor materials, downstream wafer fabs have also expanded their productivity rapidly, and the number of China's integrated circuit enterprises also continued to grow.
As a key member of the third-generation of semiconductors, GaN can operate at high frequencies and maintain high performance and efficiency with lower loss than previously used silicon transistors. As the development of the third-generation semiconductor enters into a booming period, the demand for third-generation semiconductor materials in different fields is surging, semiconductor products are becoming more diversified and the speed of iteration and innovation continues to accelerate. New energy and new energy vehicles ("NEVs") will bring sustained application space for GaN. According to the data released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), China's new energy vehicle wholesale sales surged to 1.823 million units in November 2025, up 20.6% year-on-year and 6.3% month-on-month, driven by record battery electric vehicles ("BEVs") and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles ("PHEVs") deliveries and a 260% leap in NEV exports. Exports of NEVs continued their rapid expansion, surging 260 percent year-on-year to a record 300,000 units in November 2025. Excluding exports, domestic NEV wholesale volumes totaled 1.522 million units, an increase of 6.5 percent compared with November 2024 and a 4.3 percent rise from October 2025. New energy vehicles are one of the most core key application markets for third-generation semiconductor materials, which contribute strong demand continuously for third-generation semiconductor power devices.
In recent years, China has been giving great support and encouragement to innovative high-tech enterprises, in particular the new energy and third-generation semiconductors as the representatives of the technological innovation enterprises are gradually becoming a vital driving force for economic

development. In the Outline of the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan and Long-Range Objectives Through the Year 2035 (《十四五規劃和2035年遠景目標綱要》), China advocates accelerating the industrialisation process of new materials and technologies for third-generation semiconductors, so as to create a new batch of fast-growing new material enterprises.
Business Review
In 2025, the Group continued to fully deploy the third-generation semiconductor industry chain while maintaining its solid foundation in initial LED bead business. The Group is committed to accelerating the pace of GaN production during the Year. The Group completed the production and commissioning of GaN epitaxial wafer equipment at the beginning of the Year and met the conditions for epitaxial wafer production. The Group also completed the purchase, installation and commissioning of the core equipment of the wafer production line, leading to the establishment of the wafer production line. As the third-generation semiconductor business is still in the investment and R&D stage, the Group's revenue for the Year was 70% derived from the LED bead business and 30% derived from the GaN business. During the Year, the weak real estate and consumer electronics markets in China also affected the industrial chain of the Group's LED bead business. During the Year, revenue of the Group was approximately RMB97.8 million, representing an increase of approximately 29.9% as compared with that for the Previous Year, but gross profit decreased by approximately 43.4% to approximately RMB4.4 million.
During the Year, China's economic recovery was slow due to the sharp tightening of monetary policies in the European and American countries, the continuous downturn of the real estate market sentiment and the lack of market confidence, which indirectly affected the Group's performance. The Group's revenue for the Year was approximately RMB97.8 million, representing an increase of approximately RMB22.5 million from approximately RMB75.3 million for the Previous Year. The loss for the Year attributable to owners of the Company was approximately RMB112.9 million.
Outlook
Currently, China's economy is in a critical period of a new round of industrial transformation, with semiconductors widely used in integrated circuits, consumer electronics, communication systems, photovoltaic power generation and other fields. With the rise of technologies such as 5G and artificial intelligence, the research and application of third-generation semiconductors represented by GaN have also been included in national strategic planning. According to the prediction of the market analysis firm Yole Development, with the increasing demand for green energy generation, electric vehicles, charging piles and energy storage, the GaN power device market is expected to grow from US$46 million in 2020 to US$1.1 billion in 2026, with a compound annual growth rate of 70%.
Benefiting from the huge market demand in consumer electronics, new energy and new-energy vehicles, coupled with the general trend of industrial upgrading and process substitution, as well as the strong demand for GaN power products in the market, the GaN power market has become the fastest growing segment of the third-generation semiconductor industry in terms of output value. Among these products, new-energy vehicles represent the main growth driver, with brands in China accounting for
- 20 -
more than 80% of PRC's electric vehicle market and increasingly expanding their exports. This trend offers huge business opportunities across the whole supply chain, and has spurred PRC electric vehicle manufacturers to accelerate the development of third-generation semiconductor devices in the automotive field. With national policy support and solid market demand, the further development of GaN power products is expected to be rapid.
The Group will continue to make increased efforts to develop the third-generation semiconductor GaN industry chain in order to accelerate the pace of R&D, and to expand the applications of GaN-related products. The Group will also actively seek strategic partners and upgrade its industrial chain while upholding the principle of achieving synergy in the use of resources and win-win cooperation. The Group will continue to strengthen its R&D capabilities and bring in outstanding experts and talents in the field of semiconductor to enhance its production and R&D, striving to become an IDM enterprise integrating R&D, manufacturing, packaging and package testing, and sales in the whole GaN industry chain.
Securing independent control of the chip sector has been elevated by the Chinese Government to the level of national key strategy so that the PRC can accelerate the pace of replacing imported components with domestic substitute products and independent innovation, providing strong, long-term support for the semiconductor segment. Buoyed by three factors — the PRC Government's favourable policies, the extensive downstream application market, and the opportunities for component replacement using domestic substitute products — the Group will benefit from tailwinds in further exploring and developing third-generation semiconductor products and applications with GaN at their core, and continue its enhancement of production capacity and the progress of product R&D to boost quality and efficiency, maximising value for the shareholders of the Company.

Financial Review
Revenue
For the Year, total revenue was approximately RMB97.8 million, representing an increase of approximately 29.9% as compared with that for the Previous Year (2024: approximately RMB75.3 million). The increase was mainly attributable to the increase in revenue from the sales of GaN and other semiconductor products.
The following table sets forth the breakdown of the Group’s revenue by segment:
| 2025 | 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RMB'000 | % | RMB'000 | % | |
| LED products | 68,167 | 69.7 | 73,922 | 98.2 |
| GaN and other semiconductor products | 29,592 | 30.3 | 1,360 | 1.8 |
| Total | 97,759 | 100.0 | 75,282 | 100.0 |
For the Year, revenue from LED products amounted to approximately RMB68.2 million (2024: approximately RMB73.9 million), accounting for approximately 69.7% of the total revenue (2024: approximately 98.2%). The decrease in revenue was mainly due to the decrease in the sales volume and the average selling price of LED beads during the Year. Such decrease was attributable to the weakened economy with negative consumer sentiment in China. Cautious consumer approach to spending on electronic products has continued to negatively impact the sales of LED beads of the Group.
Revenue from GaN and other semiconductor products during the Year was approximately RMB29.6 million (2024: approximately RMB1.4 million), accounting for approximately 30.3% of the total revenue (2024: approximately 1.8%). This significant increase is due to the mass production and bulk shipments of gallium nitride products this year, as well as increased sales of other related semiconductor products.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales of the Group primarily consisted of cost of material used, direct labour and production overheads. It increased by approximately 38.3% from approximately RMB67.5 million for the Previous Year to approximately RMB93.3 million for the Year, reflecting an increase in the sales volume of the GaN and other semiconductor products, which mainly led to the increase in the cost of material used.
