I. Letter to the shareholders
Dear shareholders,
In 2025, the global political and economic landscape remains volatile and uncertain. On the political front, although the Israel–Middle East conflict entered a ceasefire negotiation phase in October, the Russia–Ukraine war continues unabated. Economically, following President Trump’s return to the White House, U.S.-China relations have become increasingly confrontational. The United States has imposed more stringent technology and trade restrictions on strategic sectors such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing, accelerating the restructuring and bloc formation of the global technology supply chain. China continues to emphasize domestic circulation and technological self-reliance, further promoting localization policies; however, weak domestic demand and persistent youth unemployment have constrained the pace of its overall economic recovery. In Taiwan, benefiting from emerging application demands in AI and HPC, the semiconductor industry performed exceptionally well in 2025, reaching record-high output value, while overall export momentum showed a clear rebound.
Nevertheless, Taiwan’s electronics industry was impacted by tariff policies announced by President Trump in April, prompting U.S.-based customers to advance inventory stocking. This disrupted production schedules across the supply chain, shifting what was originally a Q3 peak season into Q2, resulting in a “hot in first half, cool in second half” pattern for 2025. In addition, the sharp appreciation of the New Taiwan Dollar in May caused significant foreign exchange losses for Taiwanese manufacturers, compressing gross margins and net profit. All of these factors introduced unprecedented challenges to corporate operations.
Fortunately, the PC market served by ITE benefited from the wave of AI PCs and replacement demand driven by Microsoft’s termination of Windows 10 support, achieving approximately 3–4% market growth, outperforming 2024. Amid this broader environment, ITE leveraged its sound product strategy and solid customer base to achieve annual revenue of NT$6.946 billion, continuing to deliver strong results. Furthermore, to retain outstanding talents, the Company issued restricted stock awards to employees in September 2024, which resulted in a slight decline in net profit for the year. We sincerely ask for shareholders’ continued support.
- Operating Results for Fiscal Year 2025
In 2025, ITE achieved earnings per share of NT$9.51. Operating performance is summarized as follows:
(1) Annual revenue totaled NT$6.946 billion, representing a 4.74% increase year over year.
(2) Annual gross margin was 55.14%, a decrease of 0.48 percentage points from the previous year.
(3) Annual net profit after tax amounted to NT$1.531 billion, a decline of 5.86% compared with the prior year.

Summary of Operating Plan for Fiscal Year 2026
Although major brands have launched AI PCs, Microsoft has yet to introduce a new AI-oriented operating system, Windows 12. As a result, AI PCs have not generated the level of market enthusiasm initially anticipated. We earnestly look forward to Windows 12 sparking a new wave of growth in the PC market. Meanwhile, pricing pressure stemming from China's localization policies and competition from Taiwanese peers is expected to intensify, further heightening competitive dynamics. ITE will continue to strengthen product differentiation and technological integration, focusing on the following product development directions:
(1) PC/NB-related ICs: Closely monitor developments within the Intel, AMD, and ARM ecosystems, respond swiftly to platform changes, and maintain technological alignment with brand customers and ODM/OEM partners.
(2) High-speed interface ICs: In response to surging demand for multimedia applications and AI-driven video computing, continue to enhance transmission speed and stability, and develop solutions that meet the specifications of next-generation mobile devices and consumer electronics.
(3) HMI (Human-Machine Interface) ICs: As digital transformation accelerates in the automotive and industrial control markets, introduce more integrated display control and touch solutions to enhance system responsiveness and user experience.
- Future Corporate Development Strategies
(1) Continue developing key technologies and adopting advanced process technologies to strengthen the Company's technical positioning while reducing costs.
(2) Actively explore innovative applications and design customized, high-value, and high-growth new products.
(3) Proactively seek strategic customer partnerships, strengthen marketing to brand customers, and secure market initiative through pragmatic business models.
- Impact of External Competitive, Regulatory, and Macroeconomic Environments
U.S.-China technological and trade confrontation is no longer a short-term phenomenon. After Donald Trump returned to office in 2025, U.S. policy toward China has become more stringent, particularly in high-tech exports and investment reviews, triggering continued relocation and restructuring of global supply chains. China has also accelerated localization efforts and strengthened protection of its domestic supply chain, posing significant challenges to Taiwan's export-oriented industries. Under these circumstances, Taiwanese companies must not only continue to consolidate technological leadership and yield advantages, but also enhance supply chain flexibility and increase product value-added in order to adapt to the trend of global market bloc formation.
Guided by the philosophy of "prudent management and sustainable development", ITE continues to promote ESG initiatives, ranging from energy-efficient product design and
improved energy efficiency to the adoption of energy-saving equipment, thereby reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions in operations. We place great emphasis on information transparency and sound corporate governance, while strengthening communication mechanisms with stakeholders to enhance overall governance effectiveness. We firmly believe that only by comprehensively strengthening corporate resilience can we create long-term value and achieve shared prosperity with society and the environment.
In closing, in the face of international political and economic challenges and rapid industry transformation, all employees of ITE will continue to uphold professionalism and a pragmatic approach, working together toward the next stage of growth and breakthroughs, and creating greater value for shareholders and society.

(3) Dividend Policy and Implementation Status
- Dividend Policy of the Company
The distribution of dividends to shareholders of the company can be paid in cash or shares. The policy of dividend distribution should reflect factors such as the current and future investment environment, fund requirements, domestic and international competition and capital budgets. And the dividends in cash shouldn't less than 30% of the distributable, as well as the interest of the shareholders, share bonus equilibrium and long-term financial planning etc. The Board of Directors shall make the distribution proposal annually and present it at the shareholders' meeting.
According to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, current year's earnings, if any, shall be distributed in the following order:
I. Income tax obligation;
II. Offsetting accumulated deficits, if any;
III. Legal reserve at 10% of net income after tax;
IV. Allocation or reverse of special reserves as required by law;
V. After deducting the respective amount specified from item I to IV, at least 50% of the remaining earnings will be distributed, together with the undistributed earnings at the beginning of the period, and the capital surplus. However, if the total distribution divided by all the issued shares is less than NTD 0.1 per share, all the remaining and surplus shall not be distributed.
- Report the dividend distribution of 2025 at this General Shareholders' Meeting:
The cash dividend for 2025 has been approved by the Board of Directs, NT$7.5 per share from the earnings, and NT$1.0 per share from the capital surplus.
(4) Effect upon business performance and earnings per share of any stock dividend distribution proposed or adopted at the most recent shareholders' meeting:
There is no stock dividend distribution proposed at this shareholders' meeting.
(5) Employee, director and supervisor compensation
- The percentage or scope of employee, director, and supervisor compensation in the Articles of Incorporation:
When the Company is operating profitably, the distribution of employee compensation and director remuneration shall be based on profitability. The so-called employee compensation shall not include routine/fixed salary, allowances, or bonuses. The so-called profitability shall refer to the benefits of the pre-tax benefits before the remuneration distribution is deducted. If the Company makes a profit in the current year, it shall appropriate 8% to 20% thereof for employee compensation (at least 50% of which shall be allocated to non-managerial employees); and then it may appropriate not more than 1% thereof for director remuneration. However, when the Company still has accumulated losses, it shall retain the amount required to make up for such losses and deduct such amount in advance before calculating such compensation and remuneration. In addition, the annual compensation and remuneration is a one-time distribution, which however may be paid in full at a single time or in installments.
Director remuneration is paid in cash, while employee compensation can be paid in cash or shares. "Employees" shall be defined as salaried employees who perform actual work, as well as formal salaried employees of domestic and foreign affiliated companies of which the Company directly holds 49% or more of shares; and consultants appointed by the Company required for its normally organized work; and otherwise directors who perform daily business operations or serve in full-time technical positions. When employee compensation is distributed, the intended distributee shall remain as the employee, unless it is due to the Company's recent initiative to transfer, lay off, or retire the employee.

(2) Industry overview
A. Outlook for the global IC design industry
Amid the powerful surge of the global artificial intelligence (AI) wave, Taiwan’s semiconductor industry is entering an unprecedented golden era. This momentum has not only enabled the industry to emerge from the previous inventory adjustment cycle, but has also propelled total output value to historic highs. Leveraging its dominant strengths in wafer foundry services and IC design, Taiwan continues to play an irreplaceable and critical role in the global supply chain.
According to statistics from the Industrial Economics and Knowledge Center (IEK) of the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), Taiwan’s semiconductor industry surpassed NT$5 trillion in total output value in 2024, representing year-on-year growth of approximately 17.7%. In 2025, driven by expanding AI applications and surging demand for high-performance computing (HPC), total output value is expected to grow further to approximately NT$6.5 trillion, with annual growth reaching as high as 22%. With accelerating AI adoption and continued replacement demand for end products, Taiwan’s semiconductor industry is projected to reach new highs again in 2026. IEK estimates that industry output will officially exceed the NT$7 trillion threshold in 2026, reaching NT$7.1 trillion, with annual growth of 10.0%.
Meanwhile, the PC market is undergoing a structural transformation driven by the penetration of AI PCs. By 2026, AI PCs are expected to become the mainstream of the PC market, creating substantial business opportunities across related ICs, memory, and foundry supply chains. However, surging demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) from AI servers and large-scale data centers has significantly tightened DRAM supply, pushing memory prices sharply higher in 2025. This supply-demand imbalance has, in turn, raised PC production costs and end-product prices, potentially placing growth pressure on the global PC market in 2026.
Despite the generally positive outlook, Taiwan’s semiconductor industry continues to face challenges arising from the international environment, particularly geopolitical uncertainties and government policies promoting supply chain localization. As China accelerates its localization initiatives, competitive pressure on Taiwanese companies continues to intensify. Consequently, overseas capacity deployment—such as in the United States, Japan, and Europe—to mitigate geopolitical risks and move closer to end customers has become a key development priority for Taiwanese manufacturers, and a critical strategy for maintaining global flexibility and competitiveness. Taiwan’s core advantage lies in the completeness of its “iron triangle” industrial
- 60 -
ecosystem encompassing IC design, manufacturing, and packaging and testing. In response to geopolitical uncertainty, Taiwanese companies must adopt a strategy of “global deployment with R&D rooted in Taiwan.”
Overall, Taiwan’s semiconductor industry has transitioned from the post-pandemic adjustment phase into a period of steady recovery, demonstrating strong growth momentum driven by global demand for AI and high-performance computing. At the same time, the global PC market is entering a new phase of intelligent transformation, with AI PCs emerging as a new focal point for the industry. Looking ahead, if Taiwan continues to deepen its strengths in advanced process technologies, chip design, supply chain integration, and green manufacturing, it will not only remain the world’s chip manufacturing hub, but also become a key engine driving global digital transformation. As technological competition intensifies, the synergistic development of Taiwan’s semiconductor and computer industries is laying a solid foundation for the technological landscape of the next decade
