Ⅶ. Annex
1. 2023 Business report
2023 Business report
The year 2023 presented a landscape fraught with variables and challenges, as global economic predictions faced uncertainties fueled by disruptive geopolitical tensions and inflationary concerns. The demand in the global electronics industry exhibited weakness, leading to brand manufacturers actively destocking end-user inventories. This resulted in sluggish transaction activities in the upstream supplier market, and the performance of most enterprises inevitably suffered from the impact of the downturn.
However, ITE has carefully navigated this wave of production and sales adjustments, successfully easing inventory pressure in the distribution channels, and the product launches have proceeded seamlessly. Despite the impact of the aforementioned external factors, there was a dip in performance in the first quarter. Nevertheless, starting from the second quarter, customers’ inventory levels gradually normalized, and this, coupled with a rebound in demand, led to a notable improvement in performance. Ultimately, annual revenue and profits surpassed the initial expectations.
Closing the fiscal year with revenue of 6.276 billion NT dollars, ITE, despite missing out on the WFH-related surge brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, proved resilient. Market demand, contrary to initial conservative predictions, remained robust. ITE's success can be attributed to its product competitiveness, securing unwavering support from customers and delivering commendable results throughout the year.
- Operating outcome in 2023
In the second quarter of 2023, inventory levels had successfully normalized, prompting customers to actively replenish stock. The imposition of royalty fees on Chromebooks by Google, coupled with the Indian government's regulations on the import of PCs and laptops, acted as catalysts, resulting in a surge in orders during the subsequent quarters. This surge significantly contributed to the company's overall revenue. Here is ITE 2023 operating performance,
-
The annual revenue was NT$6.276 billion, an increase of 20.41% from the previous year.
-
The annual gross profit margin was 54.55%, an increase of 2.25% from the previous year.
-
The annual net income after tax was NT$1.587 billion, an increase of 30.39% from the previous year.
-
Overview of Annual Business Plan for 2024
-
(1) Product development policy
A. PC/NB related ICs
ITE will stay abreast of the evolving mainstream CPU technology, collaborating with computer manufacturers to deliver swiftly advanced technologies and products tailored to their requirements.
4
B. High-speed interface ICs
ITE will continue to develop high-speed interface technologies and products to satisfy the escalating data requirements of multimedia streaming, aligning with the product specifications for the new generation of mobile devices and consumer electronics.
- C. HMI ICs
In response to the gradual transformation to digital color display controls in human-machine interfaces such as home appliances, and automotive and industrial applications, ITE will develop corresponding software and hardware-integrated chips to improve the performance of HMI-related development systems.
- (2) Sales goals
The year 2023 marked a period of inventory adjustment, and from the second quarter onwards, a discernible positive trend emerged as customers actively engaged in stock replenishment. Looking forward to the year 2024, there is optimism that an economic upswing, akin to the arrival of spring, is on the horizon. Notably, the year 2021 witnessed a historic surge in global NB shipments due to the pandemic, setting the stage for an anticipated rebound in demand in 2024. This resurgence is expected to be driven by work-related needs and business requirements. Key sectors such as live streaming, gaming, HPC, AI, 5G, and other industrial applications will continue to fuel the demand for PC and audio-visual products. ITE's strategic focus in the year 2024 will center on products such as USB Type-C PD and SoC.
-
The Company’s future development strategies
-
(1) Continue developing key technologies to strengthen technology roadmap, and continue developing new processes to reduce costs.
-
(2) Actively explore innovative applications, and design customized, high-value, growth-oriented new products.
-
(3) Actively seek strategic customer cooperation, strengthen brand-customer marketing, and strive for the market initiative through a pragmatic business model.
-
The influenced of the external competitive environment, regulatory environment, and overall business environment
The global economy grappled with the lingering effects of the pandemic, compounded by persistent geopolitical issues and inflation, which continued to impede the anticipated recovery. These factors rendered the external competitive environment increasingly unpredictable. On the regulatory front, the ongoing US-China confrontation and restrictions on technology exports to China imposed regulatory constraints on chip exports, necessitating adherence to US standards. In the broader macro-business landscape, the PC market is conclusively transitioning away from the pandemic-induced demand era, reverting to a pre-pandemic mode. Notwithstanding this shift, the global manufacturing sector is undergoing noteworthy changes, gradually relocating to countries like India and Vietnam. This shift in the supply chain away from China presents challenges that companies in related industries must confront and adapt to.
5
As we anticipate future industry trends, the concept of "AI PC" has solidified. The future of the PC industry will pivot toward a foundation rooted in diverse technologies, necessitating the capability to design products catering to various applications. ITE's product portfolio is strategically aligned with emerging trends and international specifications. We hold the conviction that we can sustain our dominant market position, confidently navigating and overcoming the impacts and challenges presented by the prevailing industry environment.

3. Independent Auditors' Report on Consolidated Financial Statements
Independent Auditors’ Report Translated from Chinese
To ITE Tech. Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ITE Tech. Inc. and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the summary of material accounting policies (together “the consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Other Auditors section of our report ), the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and their consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed and became effective by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the “Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of 2023 consolidated financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Revenue recognition
The Group recognized NT$6,276,443 thousand as operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023, which includes sale of goods and other operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023. It is necessary for the Group to judge and determine the performance obligation of a contract, the timing of its satisfaction, and the estimate of the variable considerations. As a result, we determined the matter to be a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures include (but are not limited to) testing the effectiveness of internal control; assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policy for revenue recognition; conducting analytical procedures for gross profit by product; selecting the samples to perform detailed transaction tests and reviewing the significant terms of sales agreements and trade terms to determine the accuracy of the timing of revenue recognition, testing the accuracy of the sales discount calculation and reviewing the payments of refund liabilities in the subsequent period; and performing cut-off procedures on selected samples for a period before and after the reporting date.
We also considered the appropriateness of the disclosures of operating revenues. Please refer to Note 4(17), Note 5 and Note 6(16) in notes to the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Other Auditors
We did not audit the financial statements of certain associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinions expressed herein are based solely on the reports of the other auditors. These associates and joint ventures under equity method amounted to NT$11,804 thousand and NT$8,278 thousand, representing 0.14% and 0.12% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The related shares of profit or loss from the associates and joint ventures under the equity method amounted to NT$(9,765) thousand and NT$(5,016) thousand, representing (0.51)% and (0.34)% of the consolidated net income before tax for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed and became effective by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability to continue as a going concern of the Group, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-10-
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of the Group.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability to continue as a going concern of the Group. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of 2023 consolidated financial statements and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
