2025 Business Report
One. Introduction
In 2025, boosted by strong support from international sporting events, healthy life awareness, and sustainable development trends, the global footwear market was expected to maintain moderate growth. However, given the slowdown in global economic growth and geopolitical impacts creating volatility, including uncertainties around tariffs and exchange rates, the continued rise in raw material and labor costs, and concentration of orders from brand customers, growth momentum is expected to slow slightly due to the high base effect. According to data disclosed by Statista, the global footwear market size was US$500.5 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach US$596.7 billion in 2030. The average annual growth rate in the next five years (2026 to 2030) is 5.41%. The management team of the Lai Yih Group will strengthen its profit structure through more rigorous cost control and increased production efficiency, and by optimizing its product portfolio (obtaining high-value-added orders) to maintain stable operating performance. In the past five years (2021 to 2025), the Lai Yih Group’s cumulative capital investment exceeded three times its share capital, amounting to NT$8.8 billion. During this period, the Group also continued to improve synergy in business management, including enhancing customer trust and the depth of cooperation, accelerating the digitalization process, continuing to invest in key talent, and optimizing the production base placement strategy.
Two. 2025 Business results
I. Results of the 2025 business plan
The global footwear industry underwent inventory adjustments in 2023 and a gradual recovery in 2024. Demand for athletic shoes further increased in 2025. Benefiting from the continued strong sales of classic footwear styles, the rebound in demand for high-performance athletic shoes, outdoor shoes, and retro running shoes, and the optimization of the product portfolio, the Company, with the joint efforts of its management team, successfully kept abreast of consumption trends and drove orders from major customers. The consolidated revenue of the Company reached NT$39.595 billion in 2025, a 5% increase from the previous year, outperforming its peers. The results of the business plan are analyzed as follows:

IV. Status on research and development
Since its establishment, the Lai Yih Group has continued to focus on the R&D and mass production integration of high-performance athletic shoes and classic casual shoes. In 2025, the amount of R&D expenses was NT$718,735 thousand, a 6% increase from the previous year. In recent years, the R&D strategy has focused on "high-performance material application," "process integration," and "strengthening customer stickiness," successfully building a core competitive advantage.
- High-performance material application: Supercritical physical foaming technology has been introduced and applied to several mainstream running and outdoor shoes, balancing lightweight design, high rebound, and environmental protection requirements. An integral structure is utilized, effectively simplifying the sole assembly process, improving mass production stability, and enhancing structural strength. Carbon fiber boards are applied to high-performance running shoes, supporting the brand's expansion into the speed and professional running shoe markets and creating a technical barrier.
- Process integration: 5D/3D printing and UV spraying technologies are developed to enhance upper design flexibility and durability. Collar

molding and integral upper molding have been introduced to improve the aesthetic appearance and wearing comfort.
- Strengthening customer stickiness: By shifting from passively accepting specifications to formulating structure and process solutions jointly with brands, understanding of brand strategy and product needs is deepened, enhancing customer trust and the depth of cooperation.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of LAI YIH FOOTWEAR CO., LTD.
PWC 25004584
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LAI YIH FOOTWEAR CO., LTD. and subsidiaries (the "Group") as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's 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, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Lai Yih Footwear Co., Ltd.
Meeting Handbook of Shareholders' Meeting 2026
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Group’s 2025 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, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matter for the Group’s 2025 consolidated financial statements is stated as follows:
Assessment of allowance for inventory valuation loss
Description
Refer to Note 4(12) for the accounting policies on evaluation of inventories, Note 5(2) for the accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty of evaluation of inventories and Note 6(5) for the details of allowance for inventory valuation loss. The Group’s balances of inventories and allowance for inventory valuation loss were NT$4,779,431 thousand and NT$89,686 thousand on December 31, 2025, respectively.
Inventories of the Group are mainly sports and leisure shoes and are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Inventories aged over a certain period of time and separately recognised as obsolete inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value and provided allowance for inventory valuation losses based on individually identified reasonable net realizable value and usable condition of obsolete or slow-moving inventories. Considering that the Group’s allowance for inventory valuation losses has a significant impact on the financial statements, we classify the allowance for inventory valuation losses as one of this year’s key audit matters.
16
Lai Yih Footwear Co., Ltd.
Meeting Handbook of Shareholders’ Meeting 2026
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
- Obtained an understanding on and assessed the reasonableness of the policies and procedures of the Group’s subsequent evaluation of inventories and provision for loss on obsolete and slow-moving inventories.
- Reviewed the annual physical inventory count plan and participated in the annual physical inventory count to assess the effectiveness of the management’s classification and control over obsolete inventories.
- Obtained the inventory aging reports, verified the relevant supporting documents of the inventory change date and ascertained the classification of age ranges of inventories was correct and consistent with the policies.
- Obtained the net realisable value report of each inventory, ascertained the calculation logic was consistently applied, tested the basis information for estimating the net realisable value of inventories, including verifying supporting documents of sales price, purchases price, etc. and recalculated and assessed the reasonableness of the assessment of allowance for inventory valuation loss.
Responsibilities of management for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, 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.
17
Lai Yih Footwear Co., Ltd.
Meeting Handbook of Shareholders' Meeting 2026
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, 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 the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the 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 auditor's 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.
18
Lai Yih Footwear Co., Ltd.
Meeting Handbook of Shareholders’ Meeting 2026
-
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 Group’s internal control.
-
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 Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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 disclosures, 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 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.
19
Lai Yih Footwear Co., Ltd.
Meeting Handbook of Shareholders’ Meeting 2026
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in 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.

(b) Subject to the Statute, whenever such a resolution as aforesaid shall have been passed, the Board shall make all appropriations and applications of the reserves or profits resolved to be capitalised thereby, and attend to all allotments and issuance of fully paid Shares and generally shall do all acts and things required to give effect thereto. For the purpose of giving effect to any resolution under this Article, the Board may settle any difficulty which may arise in regard to any distribution under this Article as it thinks fit, and in particular may disregard fractional entitlements altogether or round the same up or down and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members in lieu of fractional entitlements or that fractions of such value as the Board may determine may be disregarded in order to adjust the rights of all parties or that fractional entitlements shall be aggregated and sold and the benefit shall accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned, and no Members who are affected thereby shall be deemed to be, and they shall be deemed not to be, a separate class of Members by reason only of the exercise of this power. The Board may authorise any person to enter on behalf of the persons entitled to participate in the distribution any agreement with the Company necessary or desirable for giving effect thereto and such appointment and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding upon all concerned.
(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such agreement may provide for the acceptance by such persons of the Shares to be allotted, issued and distributed to them respectively in satisfaction of their claims in respect of the sum so capitalised.

Article 10
If a shareholders’ meeting is convened by the Board of Directors, the meeting agenda shall be set by the Board of Directors.

The meeting shall proceed in the order set by the agenda, which may not be changed without a resolution by the shareholders’ meeting.
The provisions of the preceding paragraph apply mutatis mutandis to a shareholders’ meeting convened by a party with the power to convene other than the Board of Directors.
The chair may not declare the meeting adjourned prior to completion of deliberation on the meeting agenda of the preceding two paragraphs (including extempore motions), except by a resolution by the shareholders’ meeting. If the chair declares the meeting adjourned in violation of the rules of procedure, the other members of the Board of Directors shall promptly assist the attending shareholders in electing a new chair in accordance with statutory procedures, by agreement of a majority of the votes represented by the attending shareholders to continue the meeting.
The chair shall allow ample opportunity during the meeting for explanation and discussion of proposals and of amendments or extempore motions put forward by the shareholders; when the chair is of the opinion that a proposal has been discussed sufficiently to put it to a vote, the chair may announce the discussion closed, call for a vote, and schedule sufficient time for voting.
Article 11
Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker's slip the subject of the speech, their shareholder account number (or attendance card number), and account name. The order in which shareholders speak will be set by the chair.
A shareholder in attendance who has submitted a speaker's slip but does not actually speak shall be deemed to have not spoken. When the content of the speech is not in alignment with the subject on the speaker's slip, the spoken content shall prevail.
Except with the consent of the chair, a shareholder may not speak more than twice on the same proposal, and a single speech may not exceed 5 minutes; however, if the shareholder's speech violates the rules or exceeds the scope of the motion, the chair may have the shareholder stop the speech.
When an attending shareholder is speaking, other shareholders may not speak or interrupt unless they have sought and obtained the consent of the chair and the shareholder that has the floor; the chair shall stop any violation.

Lai Yih Footwear Co., Ltd.
Meeting Handbook of Shareholders’ Meeting 2026
by each shareholder for each motion shall not exceed two, each question shall be limited to 200 characters, and the provisions of paragraphs 1 to 5 shall not apply.
If a question raised as in the preceding paragraph is not in violation of the regulations nor outside the scope of the proposal, it is advised to disclose the question on the video conference platform of the shareholders' meeting to make it known to the attendants.
Article 12
Voting at shareholders’ meetings shall be counted based on the number of shares.
With respect to resolutions by a shareholders’ meeting, the number of shares held by a shareholder without voting rights shall not be counted toward the total number of issued shares.
When a shareholder is an interested party in relation to an agenda item, and there is the likelihood that such a relationship would prejudice the interests of the Company, the shareholder may not vote on that item and may not exercise voting rights as a proxy for any other shareholder.
The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the preceding paragraph shall not be counted toward the voting rights represented by attending shareholders.
With the exception of a trust enterprise or a stock affairs agency approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as a proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed three percent of the voting rights represented by the total number of issued shares. If that percentage is exceeded, the voting rights in excess of that percentage shall not be included in the counting.
Article 13
A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held, except when the shares are restricted to shares or are deemed non-voting shares under Article 179, paragraph 2 of the Company Act.
When the Company holds a shareholders’ meeting, it shall adopt the exercise of voting rights by electronic means and may adopt the exercise of voting rights in writing. When voting rights are exercised in writing or by electronic means, the method of exercise shall be specified in the shareholders’ meeting notice. Shareholders who exercise their voting rights in writing or electronically are deemed to have attended the shareholders' meeting in person, but to have waived their rights with respect to the extempore motions and amendments to original proposals of that meeting; it is, therefore, advisable that the Company avoid the submission of extempore motions and amendments to original proposals.
A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights in writing or by electronic means under the preceding paragraph shall deliver a written declaration of intent to the Company no later than two days before the date of the shareholders’ meeting. When duplicate declarations of intent are delivered, the one received earliest shall prevail, except when a declaration is made to cancel the earlier declaration of intent.
After shareholders exercise their voting rights in writing or by electronic means, if they wish to attend the shareholders’ meeting in person, they shall serve a declaration of intent to retract the voting rights already exercised under the preceding paragraph no later than two days before the shareholders’ meeting in the same manner in which the voting rights were exercised; otherwise, the voting rights exercised in writing or by electronic means shall prevail. If a shareholder exercises the voting right in writing or by electronic means and appoints a proxy with a proxy form to attend the shareholders’ meeting, the voting right exercised by the attending proxy at the meeting shall prevail.
Except as otherwise provided in the Company Act and in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the passage of a proposal shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights represented by the attending shareholders. At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the chair or a person designated by the chair shall first announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending
75
Lai Yih Footwear Co., Ltd.
Meeting Handbook of Shareholders’ Meeting 2026
shareholders, followed by a vote by shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for each proposal, based on the number of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be entered on the MOPS.
When there is an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the chair shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the order in which it will be put to a vote. When any one among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed rejected, and no further voting shall be required.
Scrutineers and vote counting personnel for the voting on proposals shall be appointed by the chair, provided that all scrutineers be shareholders of the Company.
Vote counting for proposals or elections at a shareholders’ meeting shall be conducted in public at the place of the shareholders’ meeting.

When a shareholders’ meeting is convened by video conferencing, shareholders participating by video conferencing shall vote on various motions and election(s) on the video conference platform after the chair calls the meeting to order.
