Ⅷ. Annex

1. 2021 Business report

2021 Business report

From the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic overturned enterprises’ traditional business models, and countries around the world have accelerated digital transformation to cope with the COVID-19 crisis. ITE Tech’s PC-related products have benefited from this digital transformation trend and the performance has grown substantially. Many countries have implemented lockdown measures to block the pandemic’s spread. This has directly impacted the supply chain of the global ICT industry, resulting in a serious shortage of semiconductor components and a gradual rise in the price of chips. With this rapid increase in demand in the ICT industry, ITE’s revenue and profits for 2021 have also exceeded expectations.

  • I. Operating outcome in 2021

  • ITE Tech's 2021 operating performance

    • A. Annual revenue was NT$7.184 billion, for an increase of 49.12% over the previous year.

    • B. Annual net profit after tax was NT$1.805 billion, an increase of 93.04% over the previous year.

  • ITE Tech's 2021 revenue by major product line

    • A. PC/NB product line: 2021 revenue increased by 47.28% compared with the previous year.

    • B. High-speed interface IC product line: Products in this line include HDMI, DisplayPort, LVDS, MHL and other control chips. 2021 revenue increased by 43.23% over the previous year.

    • C. HMI (Human-Machine Interface) ICs: 2021 revenue increased by 109.19% compared with the previous year.

    • D. Other product lines have also grown, pushing up the Company's overall 2021 revenues.

  • II. Overview of Annual Business Plan for 2022

  • Product development policy:

    • A. PC/NB related ICs

Keep up with the evolution of mainstream CPU technology, and align with the demands of computer manufacturers to quickly provide products and technologies.

  • B. High-speed interface ICs

  • Develop technologies and products to satisfy the video streaming with the increasing data volume, and thus meet product specification for the new generation mobile devices and consumer electronics.

  • C. HMI ICs

-5-

In response to the gradual transformation to digital display controls in human-machine interfaces such as home appliances, video intercoms, and automotive and industrial applications, ITE Tech will develop software and hardware bundled ICs to align with the development of HMI-related development systems.

  1. Sales goals:

Looking forward to 2022, market momentum will mainly be based on work and entertainment. The related industries such as the live streaming industry, e-Sports market, HPC, AI, 5G, and other industrial applications require PC and audio-visual products. ITE Tech is a supplier of chips for these purposes, and thus the market trend is relatively favorable. Therefore, the operating outlook remains optimistic. ITE Tech will seize this opportunity to enhance market share and maintain the goal of annual revenue growth.

III. The Company’s future development strategy

  1. Continue to develop key technologies, strengthen technological deployment, and continue to develop new processes to reduce costs.

  2. Actively explore innovative applications, and design customized, high-value, growthoriented new products.

  3. Actively seek strategic customer cooperation, strengthen brand customer marketing, and strive for market initiative through pragmatic business models.

  4. IV. The influence of the external competitive environment, regulatory environment, and overall business environment

The industrial environment will encounter constant changes. Looking at the industrial trend for the next few years, ITE Tech's product layout is in line with trends. By virtue of the customer base we have built in the consumer electronics field, ITE Tech will definitely be able to maintain our market advantages. We are confident of overcoming the impacts and challenges brought about by the overall industrial environment.

Despite the changing global economic situation and fierce market competition, ITE Tech will implement countermeasures against market competition with a solid technical foundation. Together, all our employees will go forth to seize the opportunities each year brings, and overcome the challenges each year presents.
