Chapter 1. Letter to Shareholders

In 2025, the ACDC power management integrated circuit (IC) industry was significantly impacted by the US–China trade war, tariff uncertainties, and geopolitical tensions. Taiwanese manufacturers benefited from order diversions driven by the “China+1” trend. However, to counter these challenges, Chinese manufacturers initiated a series of price wars in the mature process technology sector, significantly affecting the areas in which we operate. Although Leadtrend adopted a strategy focused on enhancing product value and differentiation—deepening its involvement in mid-to-high-end applications through one-stop services and collaborating closely with clients on development to build trust—revenue declined by 7.24% in 2025 compared to the previous year. This decrease was due to intensified competition in the end market and headwinds such as the appreciation of the New Taiwan Dollar in the second quarter. Looking ahead, the Company plans to continue launching products that meet market demand for low-power, high-performance, and high-power-density solutions while optimizing its cost structure and expanding the mix of high-margin products to navigate the volatile macroeconomic environment.

2025 Business Performance Outcomes

(1) Results of the Implementation of the Operational Plan

The semiconductor market is rebounding, driven by the development of AI applications. Alongside ongoing energy efficiency regulations across various sectors and the rapid evolution of industry standards, the power management IC market in which Leadtrend operates presents a structural opportunity characterized by specification upgrades that enhance solution value. First, the EU’s external power supply energy efficiency regulations have come into effect. These are expected to drive customer demand for highly integrated, low-standby-power and high-efficiency products. This shifts the strategic focus of power management ICs away from cost-based competition toward providing more comprehensive system solutions and design support. Second, the USB-C fast charging market is shifting from increasing power to optimizing efficiency and thermal management, thereby raising the technical barriers for integrated technologies such as conversion efficiency, protection mechanisms, and system integration.

In response to these trends, Leadtrend continued to pursue a development strategy focused on total solutions and highly integrated products in 2025. By enhancing the comprehensiveness of our medium- to high-power AC-DC control solutions and advancing our integrated design and application reference


solutions, we aim to help our customers shorten their development timelines and improve their products' competitiveness. This approach will increase the value of our product portfolio, expand our market penetration, and strengthen our long-term partnerships across the laptop, TV, monitor, networking, smart home appliances, e-bike, industrial PC (IPC), lighting, and other power supply application markets.

(2) An Analysis of Financial Revenue, Expenditure, and Profitability

Leadtrend's consolidated financial performance for the fiscal year 2025 is summarized as follows: annual revenue reached NT$1,349 million, representing a 7.24% decrease compared to the previous year. Gross profit amounted to NT$458 million, accounting for 34.0% of revenue, which is a 17.02% decline from the previous year. Operating income was reported at NT$16 million, or 1.22% of revenue, a decrease of 80.68% from the previous year. Net income was recorded at NT$31 million, resulting in earnings per share (EPS) of NT$0.50 and a return on shareholders' equity of 1.74%.

(3) Status of Research and Development

Leadtrend's R&D strategy shows a high level of continuity. It focuses on the mass production of medium- and high-power digital control ICs in 2025, with the goal of progressing toward the development of ultra-energy-efficient, high-end drive topology control and forward-looking, emerging applications in 2026.

2025 R&D Achievements

stringent requirements for high reliability and lightweight design in LEO satellite equipment. This achievement has enabled the Company to successfully expand into new application markets.

2026 R&D Outlook

  1. High-End Drive and Topology Control Strategy

Accelerate the commercialization of high-power-density SiC MOSFET solutions. For medium-to high-power applications, complete the planning and development of a series of high-frequency drive and control ICs that support mainstream topologies such as LLC, AHB, and PFC.

  1. Promotion of Zero Standby Power (ZSP) Technology

Building on the success of NB Total Solutions, we will expand the application of IEC 62301 ZSP technology across additional product lines, enabling our customers to meet stringent global energy efficiency regulations.

  1. R&D of Next-Generation Medium- to High-Power Digital LLC and CCM PFC Control ICs

Focusing on the server and industrial power supply markets, we are investing in the research and development of next-generation standalone digital LLC control ICs to achieve a faster dynamic response and enhanced system stability, thereby establishing significant technical barriers to entry.

As of the end of 2025, Leadtrend had filed a total of 760 patent applications worldwide, with 578 patents granted—including 221 in Taiwan, 169 in mainland China, 186 in the United States, and two in Japan. In addition to continuously strengthening its intellectual property barriers, the team frequently publishes research findings in leading international power electronics journals, such as the IEEE JESTPE. This approach enhances Leadtrend's global brand visibility and professional standing through industry-academia collaboration.

Leadtrend's research and development efforts across all product lines have consistently pursued the vision of "Green your power and Green the World" by advancing product technology. The Company actively integrates digital and analog mixed-signal technologies alongside hardware and software development in its research initiatives. Product development is achieved through collaboration with brands and manufacturers within the power design sector, while ongoing project research on emerging technologies is conducted in partnership with relevant industry stakeholders, government entities, and academic institutions. This collaborative approach facilitates annual enhancements in power system conversion efficiency, underscoring that green innovation has consistently served as a fundamental guiding principle for Leadtrend.

Summary of the 2026 Business Plan

(1) Business Plan

Leadtrend adheres to core principles of innovation, service, quality, and collaboration, providing customers with prompt and comprehensive support. The Company's long-term development strategy emphasizes a strong focus on Taiwan, a deep engagement with the Chinese market, and an aspiration to connect with international brands worldwide.

(2) Expected Sales Volume and Its Underpinnings

2.2.2 Comparative analysis of the total remuneration paid to the Company's Directors, President, and Vice Presidents by the Company and all companies included in the consolidated financial statements for the most recent two fiscal years as a percentage of net income after tax from the parent company only or individual financial reports, and an explanation of the policies, standards, and composition of the remuneration, the procedures for determining remuneration, and their correlation with business performance and future risks.

(1) Analysis of the total remuneration paid to the Company's Directors, President, and Vice Presidents as a percentage of net income after tax from the parent company only financial reports for the most recent two fiscal years:

Unit: NT$ thousand ; %

| Item
Title | 2025 | | 2024 | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | The Company | Companies in the consolidated financial statements | The Company | Companies in the consolidated financial statements |
| Net profit after tax on parent company only financial reporting | 30,593 | 30,593 | 111,889 | 111,889 |
| Proportion of compensation allocated to Directors (Inclusive for employees occupying managerial positions) | 64.78 | 64.78 | 15.18 | 15.18 |
| Proportion of compensation for the President and Vice Presidents | 43.99 | 43.99 | 20.41 | 20.41 |

Note: The Company's remuneration policy has remained consistent over the past two fiscal years. The total remuneration paid to Directors, the President, and Vice Presidents as a percentage of net income was higher in 2025 than in 2024, primarily due to the decrease in profit in 2025 compared to the previous year.


(2) The Correlation between Remuneration Policies, Standards, Composition, and Procedures with Business Performance and Future Risks

(A) Director remuneration policy

The compensation of directors of the Company shall be increased in accordance with Article 20 of the Articles of Association. If the Company has profits in the year (the so-called profit condition refers to the profit before pre-tax deduction of the compensation of employees and directors), it shall set aside no less than 10% for the compensation of employees and no more than 2% for the compensation of directors. However, if the Company has accumulated losses (including adjustment of undistributed surplus amount), it shall reserve the compensatory amount in advance. Article 17 of the Articles of Association of the Company also provides that the remuneration of the chairman and the director shall be determined by the Board of Directors based on their involvement in the Company's operation and value of their contribution to the Company's operation, as well as the industry level. Directors' remuneration in the preceding paragraph shall be paid in cash only.

(B) Manager remuneration policy

The remuneration standard of the Company's managers depends on the individual performance and contribution to the overall operation of the Company, and the principle is determined by taking into consideration the level of market peers. It will be implemented after being reviewed by the Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board of Directors.

(C) The relationship between business performance and prospective risks

The compensation determination procedure set by the Company for directors and managers shall be based on the performance evaluation methods of the board of directors and employee performance evaluation of the Company. In addition to taking into account the Company's operating performance, future risks, development strategies and industrial trends, reasonable compensation shall be given to individuals for their contributions to the Company's performance. The Company will also review the compensation allocation policy in due course, taking into account the overall environment and business strategy, with a view to balancing the interests of the Company's sustainability with those of stakeholders.

3.1.3 Dividend Policy and Implementation Status of the Company

(1) Dividend Policy

If the Company records a net income after tax in the final annual accounts, the earnings shall be distributed in the following order:

(A) Compensate for accumulated deficits (including adjustments to unappropriated retained earnings).

(B) Set aside 10% as legal reserve; however, this requirement does not apply when the legal reserve has reached the amount of the Company's paid-in capital.

(C) Set aside or reverse a special reserve in accordance with laws and regulations or the requirements of competent authorities.

(D) For the remaining earnings, together with the unappropriated retained earnings at the beginning of the period (including adjustments to unappropriated retained earnings), the Board of Directors shall draft an earnings distribution proposal. If the distribution is to be made in the form of issuing new shares, it shall be submitted to the shareholders' meeting for a resolution prior to distribution.

If the Company distributes all or a portion of the dividends and bonuses, legal reserve, or capital surplus in the form of cash, the Board of Directors is authorized to execute the distribution upon a resolution adopted by a majority vote at a meeting attended by at least two-thirds of the directors, and a report of such distribution shall be submitted to the shareholders' meeting.

The distribution of the Company's dividends is aligned with the earnings status of

-81-


the current year, encompassing distributable earnings, capital surplus, and other distributable sources in accordance with laws and regulations. The total distribution ratio shall not be less than 30% of the current year's net income after tax, and the cash dividends distributed annually shall not be less than 10% of the total sum of cash and stock dividends distributed in the current year.

(2) Circumstances under which the dividend is proposed to be distributed at the AGM.

(A) The Company's 2025 earnings distribution proposal was approved by a resolution of the Board of Directors on April 15, 2026. It is proposed to allocate NT$18,306,805 from earnings to distribute a cash dividend of NT$0.3 per share (i.e., NT$300 per 1,000 shares).

(B) Regarding the proposal to distribute cash from the capital surplus, NT$12,204,536 will be allocated from the capital surplus derived from the issuance of shares in excess of par value (share premium). A cash distribution of NT$0.20 per share (i.e., NT$200 per 1,000 shares) is proposed.

(A)(B) Following the resolution and approval of the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on May 28, 2026, the Board of Directors shall be authorized to determine the ex-rights base date and other related matters. If the number of shares outstanding is subsequently affected by changes in laws or regulations, adjustments by competent authorities, or events such as share buybacks, cancellations, conversion of corporate bonds, issuance of new shares, or other factors leading to share variations, thereby causing the rights distribution ratios to change, it is proposed that the shareholders' meeting authorize the Board of Directors to make necessary adjustments.

(3) The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its dividend policy in the future: None

3.1.4 The impact of the free rights issue proposed at this shareholders' meeting on the Company's operating performance and earnings per share: None

3.1.5 Remuneration of Employees and Directors

(1) The percentage or scope of employees' and directors' remuneration as set forth in the Company's Articles of Incorporation.

If the Company makes a profit in a fiscal year (the term "profit" refers to the pre-tax profit before deducting the distribution of employee and director remuneration), it shall allocate no less than 10% for employee remuneration and no more than 2% for director remuneration. However, if the Company has accumulated deficits (including adjustments to unappropriated retained earnings), an amount shall be reserved in advance to compensate for the deficits.

From the aforementioned employee remuneration amount, no less than 40% shall be allocated and distributed to non-managerial employees.

-82-


Employee remuneration and non-managerial employee remuneration may be distributed in the form of stock or cash, and the eligible recipients may include employees of affiliated companies who meet the conditions stipulated by the Board of Directors. Director remuneration may only be distributed in cash.

The matters described in the preceding three paragraphs shall be executed upon a resolution of the Board of Directors and reported to the shareholders' meeting.

When the Company issues employee stock warrants, restricted stock awards (RSA), reserves new shares for employee subscription, or transfers legally repurchased shares to employees, the eligible targets for such issuance or transfer may include employees of affiliated companies who meet the conditions stipulated by the Board of Directors.

(2) The basis for estimating the amount of employees' and directors' remuneration, the basis for calculating the number of shares of employees' remuneration to be distributed by means of stock dividends, and the accounting treatment in the event that the actual amount of dividends distributed differs from the estimated amount.

If the Company's estimates of employees' compensation and directors' compensation differ from the amounts approved by the Board of Directors and submitted to the shareholders' meeting, the Company will account for the changes in accounting estimates and record the adjustments in the year of the shareholders' meeting.

(3) Circumstances under which the Board of Directors approves the distribution of remuneration

(A) If the amount of employees' and directors' compensation distributed in cash or stock differs from the amount estimated in the year of expense recognition, the amount of the difference, the reason for the difference, and the circumstances under which the difference was handled should be disclosed:

The Company's 2025 remuneration for employees and directors was resolved by the Board of Directors on March 5, 2026. The approved amounts are NT$5,506,802 for employee remuneration and NT$518,287 for director remuneration, both to be distributed in cash. There is no discrepancy between the actual distributed amounts and the expenses recognized in the 2025 financial statements. Of the aforementioned employee remuneration, NT$3,304,081 is allocated to entry-level employees. This distribution is scheduled to be reported at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on May 28, 2026.

(B) Employee remuneration distributed in stock as a percentage of the sum of the net income in the standalone or individual financial report and the total amount of employee remuneration: Not applicable, as the 2025 employee remuneration was distributed entirely in cash.

-83-


(4) The actual distribution of employees' and directors' remuneration in the previous year (including the number of shares distributed, the amount and the price of the shares), and the difference between the actual distribution and the recognized employees' and directors' remuneration, together with the number of differences, the reasons for the differences and the circumstances under which the differences were dealt with:

Directors' Remuneration 1,895,523 1,895,523 0 1,895,523 0

In accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors on February 20, 2025, the actual distribution amounts of the 2024 employee and director remuneration show no discrepancy with the expenses recognized in the 2024 accounts.

MOSFETs to further enhance power density.

4.1.2 Industry Overview

(1) The current situation and development of the industry:

(A) Global Semiconductor Economic Overview and Main Demand Drivers

In 2025, the global semiconductor industry maintained robust growth driven by demand in AI, cloud data centers, and high-performance computing. According to WSTS statistics cited by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) published on February 6, 2026, global semiconductor sales reached US$791.7 billion in 2025, representing an annual increase of 25.6%, pointing out logic and memory products as the primary growth drivers. In addition to the realized growth in 2025, WSTS regularly releases market forecasts in the spring and autumn of each year, and its "Autumn in 2025" edition was published on December 2, 2025. Built upon this economic foundation, although power management-related semiconductors are still influenced by end-market shipments and inventory cycles, the overall industry still possesses room for structural upgrades due to the fact that these components span the power delivery paths of the majority of electronic products and face a clear trend of specification upgrades.

(B) Structural trends in power management IC and AC-DC control - efficiency, power density, and solution-oriented approaches

Power supplies (including external power supplies, TV/monitor power boards, networking power supplies, and various chargers/adapters) are simultaneously facing the dual requirements of higher efficiency and smaller size with higher power density. This drives the continuous iteration of technology roadmaps such as AC-DC control and secondary-side efficiency enhancement (e.g., synchronous rectification). This evolution also shifts the competitive focus of power control ICs from single controller specifications toward the capability of providing comprehensive system solutions that encompass control ICs, reference designs, protection mechanisms, and certification support.

In terms of demand sources, in addition to general consumer electronics, the upgrade of power supply architectures for AI servers and data centers indirectly elevates the requirements for efficiency and reliability in power delivery paths (such as stricter energy consumption management, thermal design, and power quality), further prompting the continuous upgrade of power control and management components.

(C) Energy efficiency regulations and energy-saving requirements - the long-term driving force of External Power Supply (EPS) specifications

External Power Supplies (EPS) represent an important category in energy efficiency policies. The European Union's Ecodesign Regulation (EU) 2019/1782 has been applicable since April 2020, regulating requirements for

-97-


both active efficiency and no-load power consumption. Furthermore, this regulation will be replaced by Regulation (EU) 2025/2052 starting from January 1, 2028.

The core implication of the regulations is that competition among power supply and charger products is no longer solely based on cost and power. Instead, it requires stably meeting the demands for efficiency, standby power consumption, and information disclosure under the condition of mass production consistency. Consequently, this continuously drives the need for high-efficiency control architectures, reduced standby loss designs, and more comprehensive protection mechanisms, while elevating the supply chain's requirements for power control ICs to feature high integration, low power consumption, and ease of implementation.

(D) USB-C and USB PD 3.2 / AVS - Fast charging enters the stage of high power combined with high-efficiency negotiation

One of the key trends in power supply interfaces in 2025 is the further maturation of the USB-C ecosystem and the continuous evolution of USB Power Delivery specifications. The demand for fast charging is also shifting from merely increasing power to achieving more precise voltage and power matching to enhance efficiency and reduce heat generation.

USB PD 3.2 introduces new fixed voltage options (such as 28V, 36V, and 48V) and, for the first time, incorporates the Adjustable Voltage Supply (SPR AVS) mechanism in the Standard Power Range (SPR, 27W–100W) to enhance charging efficiency and device compatibility. Meanwhile, in Extended Power Range (EPR) scenarios, it supports power delivery up to the 240W level, expanding USB-C power applications to more medium and high-power products (such as high-end notebooks, professional monitors, and high-capacity power banks).

Furthermore, the update to PD 3.2 extends the AVS mechanism to the SPR range and emphasizes precise matching with smaller steps. This improvement can enhance conversion efficiency and reduce heat loss, reflecting the fast-charging market's elevated requirements for efficiency and thermal management.

In summary, the evolution of USB-C and PD brings three direct impacts to the power management IC industry :

① The increased demand for protocol control, interoperability, and certification drives up the value of protocol chips and system solutions.

② High-power delivery (such as 240W) expands the categories of applicable devices, leading to market space growth for medium and high-power supply solutions.

③ Utilizing AVS to enhance efficiency and reduce temperature rise promotes a

-98-


tighter integration between power control and protocol control while elevating the threshold for product design.

Synthesizing industry trends such as the semiconductor economic recovery in 2025, the continuous strengthening of energy efficiency regulations and the specification evolution of USB-C and USB PD 3.2 (including SPR AVS), the power management and AC-DC control market in which the Company operates presents a structural opportunity where "specification upgrades drive an enhancement in solution value." First, the European Union's energy efficiency regulations for external power supplies have been implemented and are planned to be replaced by new regulations in 2028. This is expected to continuously elevate customer requirements for high efficiency, low standby power consumption, as well as mass production consistency and reliability. This shift moves power control ICs away from competing solely on single-point cost and toward the necessity of providing more comprehensive system solutions and implementation support. Second, the USB-C fast-charging market is transitioning from "increasing power" to "efficiency optimization and thermal management." The introduction of SPR AVS in PD 3.2 enables more precise voltage negotiation, which helps enhance conversion efficiency and reduce heat generation, while also elevating the technical barriers for protocol control, protection mechanisms, and system integration. Building on these trends, the Company can assist customers in shortening development cycles and enhancing product competitiveness by strengthening the completeness of AC-DC medium and high power control solutions, deepening the capabilities of integrated design and application reference solutions, and aligning with the product layout of USB-C and PD 3.2 protocol controllers. This will further enhance the value of the Company's product portfolio and expand its penetration rate and depth of long-term cooperation across markets including adapters, monitors and TVs, networking, and other power application sectors.

(2) Upstream, midstream, and downstream industry connections:

In recent years, with the evolution of vertical division of labor integration of the whole semiconductor, Chinese IC industry is developing vigorously and the division of labor system is becoming professional. Each production link has many individual manufacturers input, the division of labor is clear and each is specialized, so that the structure of the upper, middle and downstream of Chinese IC industry system is more complete. In the value chain of integrated circuit (IC) industry, IC design industry belongs to the upstream industry, IC design companies must go through professional wafer foundries or IDM factories (integrated semiconductor factories: Integrated Device Manufacturer: design, manufacturing, packaging, testing and sales are all handled by the manufacturer.) Semi-finished wafers are manufactured, tested in the front section, then transferred to professional packaging factories for cutting and packaging, and finally tested in the back section by professional testing factories. The finished product after testing is sold to the system manufacturer for

-99-


assembly and production through the sales pipeline. The relevance between upper, middle and downstream industries is given below:

(3) Product development trends and competition:

(A) Product Development Trends

Our main products are AC/DC converter, USB-PD/QC4.0+ total solution and LED driver for lighting field, which are described below.

  • AC/DC converter

AC/DC products are still the Company's development center of gravity, mainly in various electronic applications of the power supply, the main application areas are TV/MNT, PC/NB, Mobile, Networking, Home Appliance, Power Tool, Medical, Industrial, LED Lighting and Accessory applications. Due to the development of 4K/8K high-definition displays and 5G/WiFi7 commercialization in recent years, coupled with the gradual penetration of devices equipped with Type-C interfaces and supporting PD protocols as standard interfaces (including products in the Netcom and power tools, etc.), as well as Netcom products with the trend of the Internet continues to lead the growth momentum. leadtrend Technology's unique multi-mode operation CCM+QR PWM controller coupled with synchronous rectification technology is well ahead of energy saving regulations (e.g., U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) Level-6, and EU CoC Tier-2 & ErP lot7), and is well positioned to capitalize on this wave of demand to gain a head start on new applications, such as smart speakers, cell phone fast charging, laptop fast charging, netcom mini-sized products, and so on, smart speakers, fast charging for mobile phones, fast charging for laptops, and miniaturized power supplies for netcom. In addition to the Hi-power application of LLC +PFC IC & AHB, we have promoted the application from TV/MNT & NB to other terminal products


and made breakthroughs in the gradual deployment of various product lines. Believe that in the next few years, we will open up a new situation for the contribution to the revenue and continue to ferment.

  • USB-PD3.1/China UFCS total solution

Following the European Parliament's resolution mandating the adoption of USB Type-C specifications for small and medium-sized electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets sold in the EU starting from the end of 2024, and for devices including notebooks starting from the end of 2025, the Type-C specification is poised to become the mainstream standard for data transmission and charging in the market. Leadtrend has completed its product layout for 18W to 240W Power Delivery (PD), encompassing the full power range from the existing PD 3.0 100W up to PD 3.1 240W.

Furthermore, the Universal Fast Charging Specification (UFCS) represents a new generation integrated fast charging protocol jointly developed by numerous terminal manufacturers, chip enterprises, and industry partners. This protocol aims to establish a unified fast charging standard for mobile terminals, resolve incompatibility issues among various fast charging technologies, and create a fast, safe, and compatible charging environment for end users. Currently, Leadtrend has planned the multi-port charging product LD6621, which has successfully obtained the UFCS integrated fast charging protocol certification. Moving forward, new products will continue to be developed in this direction to align with the trend of the China PD protocol.

  • LED Driver

This LED product line includes LED related products such as smart lighting and backlight driver IC.

From the perspective of LED lighting product categories, TrendForce estimates that the penetration rate of LED products will exceed 90% in 2027, with smart lighting accounting for more than 40%. Furthermore, the implementation of the fourth phase of the European Union's ErP directive has accelerated the phase-out of traditional lighting products from the market. The market size is projected to reach US$63.903 billion in 2029, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 2.4% from 2024 to 2029. Regarding the LED lighting application market, as lighting products are increasingly equipped with various sensors and communication modules, the penetration rate of connected lighting continues to rise. In addition, to achieve the global goal of carbon neutrality, the demand for LED energy-saving retrofit projects is increasing, paving the way for new growth opportunities in the commercial, residential, outdoor, and industrial lighting application markets in the future.

Our lighting energy-saving ICs, which focus on dimming and flicker suppression while considering the compatibility between different interfaces,

-101-


such as digital/analog, and external dimming power supply devices, have been recognized by international lighting/lighting companies. We have also developed the ACDC solution that is suitable for the smart desk lamp market by utilizing the ACDC solution for "LED eye-protecting desk lamps", and at the same time, we can also reach out to the demand for the "IoT home appliance" solution. It also meets the needs of LED applications and plant lighting market, which have been subject to increasingly stringent LED policies and regulations in recent years.

(B) Competition situation

Following the emergence of the Huawei ban 2.0, the favorable impacts on Taiwanese IC design companies slightly outweigh the unfavorable aspects. Huawei must more actively pursue its de-Americanization initiatives, significantly increasing the opportunities for Taiwanese chip suppliers to rise to prominence.

Furthermore, Huawei's lost market share is likely to be divided among other Chinese smartphone brand manufacturers. Consequently, the market share of chips produced by Taiwanese IC design companies is expected to remain stable amidst these changes. Finally, unless the disagreements between the US and China ultimately escalate into a full-scale conflict that further upgrades the trade war and impacts the global economic landscape, the pressure of a systemic collapse affecting all players would only then become the ultimate concern for Taiwanese IC design companies.

Taiwanese IC design companies assess that there are generally three scenarios regarding the Huawei ban 2.0. The first is that Huawei's shipments remain unaffected, and only HiSilicon is forced to halt production. This would compel Huawei to adopt alternative smartphone chip product lines from companies other than Qualcomm, such as MediaTek, UNISOC, and Samsung Electronics. Considering Huawei's scale of utilizing nearly 100 million proprietary smartphone chips annually, regardless of the final allocation, it is foreseeable that MediaTek will primarily benefit.

The second scenario is that Huawei's smartphone shipments are impacted, leading to a decline in its end-market smartphone market share. However, the void is likely to be filled by other Chinese smartphone brand manufacturers such as Oppo, Vivo, Honor, and Xiaomi. This situation would deepen the persistence and elevate the level of China's de-Americanization movement.

For Taiwanese IC design companies whose businesses are closely tied to China's domestic demand and export smartphone chip markets, the proportion of procurement from Taiwan for components including LCD driver ICs, fast-charging ICs, CMOS sensors, optical sensor ICs, fingerprint recognition chips, TDDI chips, PA chips, and MEMS microphones is expected to further increase. This would, in turn, facilitate the growth of Taiwanese manufacturers'

-102-


market share in end-market chips.

The final scenario involves the US and China escalating their confrontation and resorting to mutually destructive, irrational trade war tactics. In this context, with the global economy already having been impacted by the pandemic since 2020, this additional blow would once again heighten the probability of an economic downturn. This landscape would drag down Taiwanese IC design companies that originally expected to benefit, compelling them to correspondingly revise their corporate operational growth targets downward.

The smart lighting market primarily benefits from the decline in overall smart lighting solution costs and the continuously increasing demand from end consumers for smart lighting systems. This drives the growth of the IoT lighting market, particularly in the smart home lighting segment. Furthermore, against the backdrop of government investments in smart building lighting, smart urbanization development, and future industrial automation development, the demand in the smart lighting market is also expected to be elevated.

5.6 Analysis and Assessment of Risks in the Most Recent Year to the Day this Report Was Printed

5.6.1 The impact of fluctuations in interest rates, exchange rates, and inflation on the Company's profit or loss, along with potential response measures to be implemented in the future.

Unit: NT$ thousand, %

| Year
Item | 2025 | Ratio to Net Operating Revenue (%) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Net Operating Revenue | 1,348,683 | 100.00 |
| Interest Income | 7,099 | 0.53 |
| Interest Expense | 671 | 0.05 |
| Profit on foreign exchange | 2,041 | 0.15 |


(1) Changes in Interest Rates

The impact of interest rate risks on the Company's profit or loss is divided into two aspects: returns and funding costs. In terms of interest income, the utilization of the Company's idle funds prioritizes investments with low risk and high liquidity, such as time deposits and bond repurchase agreements (repos). In terms of interest expenses, they primarily consist of interest expenses on lease liabilities—amortized over the lease term using the effective interest method—and interest on bank borrowings. The Company's operations are primarily financed by its own funds, with bank borrowings serving as a supplementary source; therefore, interest expenses are limited. For the most recent fiscal year and up to the publication date of this Annual Report, interest rate fluctuations have not had a material impact on the Company's profit or loss.

Future Measures:

The Company regularly evaluates the interest rates of specialized bank deposits and engages in bond repurchase agreements to optimize the utilization of idle funds for periods of less than one month. Furthermore, the Company maintains good relationships with banks and ensures smooth financing channels. This facilitates obtaining more favorable interest rates when raising funds is required for future business development, thereby mitigating the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the Company's profit or loss.

(2) Exchange rate changes

It is a convention in the IC design industry to use the US Dollar (USD) as the denominated currency. In 2025, the Company's domestic sales of IC chips accounted for approximately 51% of total sales. When providing quotations to customers and negotiating procurement terms, the Company takes exchange rate fluctuations into consideration and utilizes sales revenue in the same currency to cover procurement expenditures, thereby achieving a natural hedging effect. For the most recent fiscal year and up to the publication date of this Annual Report, the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the Company's profit or loss has remained limited.

Future Measures:

The Company places great emphasis on the professional hedging skills and training of its financial personnel. In addition to continuously monitoring global economic conditions to swiftly grasp the dynamics of the foreign exchange market, the Company strengthens its interactions with financial institutions. When necessary, the Company will

-132-


appropriately utilize auxiliary tools (such as derivative financial instruments) in accordance with its "Procedures for Engaging in Derivative Trading" to execute hedging arrangements, thereby mitigating the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the Company's profit or loss.

(3) Inflation

There were no inflationary events that significantly impacted the Company's profit or loss for the most recent year and up to the date of the annual report

Future Measures:

The Company monitors market price trends, fosters strong relationships with customers and suppliers, and negotiates adjustments to sales and purchase prices when necessary to mitigate the impact of inflation on the Company's profits or losses.

5.6.2 Policies, main causes of profit or loss, and future responsive measures with respect to high-risk and highly leveraged investments, loaning of funds to others, endorsements and guarantees, and derivative transactions:

The Company adopts a conservative and prudent financial management policy, focusing on the development of its core business. For the most recent fiscal year and up to the publication date of this Annual Report, the Company has not engaged in any high-risk or highly leveraged investments, loaning of funds to others, endorsements and guarantees, or derivative transactions; therefore, the associated risks are limited.

Future Measures:

If the Company is to engage in high-risk or highly leveraged investments, loaning of funds to others, endorsements and guarantees, or derivative transactions in the future, such activities will be executed in strict accordance with the relevant provisions of the Company's internal regulations, including the "Procedures for Acquisition or Disposal of Assets," "Procedures for Engaging in Derivative Trading," "Procedures for Endorsements and Guarantees," and "Procedures for Loaning of Funds to Others," in order to protect the interests of the Company and the equity of its shareholders.

5.6.3 Future Research and Development Plans and Estimated Research and Development Expenses:

The Company's future R&D plans primarily focus on reducing energy consumption and developing energy-saving, eco-friendly products to promote environmental sustainability. It is our commitment to

-133-


continuously pursue the highest energy-efficiency standards for power management ICs through innovative technologies. For the fiscal year 2026, R&D expenses are projected to account for 18% of net operating revenue, which mainly consist of R&D personnel salaries and other related R&D expenditures

5.6.4 The impact of significant domestic and foreign policy changes, as well as legal modifications, on the Company's financial operations and the measures implemented to address these impacts:

The Company conducts its business in accordance with relevant domestic and international policies and laws, remaining vigilant to changes in these areas. This proactive approach enables the Company to respond promptly to shifts in the market environment and implement appropriate countermeasures to address its operational needs. In recent years, and up to the printing date of the Annual Report, there have been no significant changes in domestic or international policies and laws that have impacted the Company's finances or operations.

5.6.5 The impact of technological advancements, including information security risks and industry changes on the Company's financial operations, as well as the measures implemented to mitigate such impacts:

The Company places significant emphasis on enhancing its research and development capabilities. In addition to staying informed about industry market trends and technological advancements, the Company will continue to develop new products related to power management integrated circuits (ICs) and energy efficiency. This will be achieved by leveraging its established systematic R&D technologies, strengthening its product quality management system and R&D process management, and building a comprehensive marketing organization and strategy to provide customers with tailored and complete power supply solutions. Alongside a continuous increase in R&D investment, we also maintain stable and flexible financial management to effectively address the challenges posed by technological changes.

The Information Security Committee of the Company was established in 2012 and is led by a Chief Information Security Officer. The Committee comprises first-level supervisors from each department. It holds regular meetings to discuss information security and can be adjusted as needed in response to emergency situations. This Committee serves as the highest decision-making body for the organization's information security policies, coordinating the implementation of security control measures and promoting internal security through the reasonable distribution of responsibilities and effective resource management.

Additionally, the Company has implemented an information security management system and conducts regular information security risk assessments, as well as internal and external audits, on an annual basis. These measures ensure the effectiveness of the management system and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Consequently, information security risk is not considered a significant operational risk for the Company. Furthermore, there have been no technological advancements or industry changes, including those related to information security risk, that would impact the Company's financial operations in recent years, up to the publication date of the annual report

5.6.9 Risks Associated with the Concentration of Purchases or Sales and Measures to Mitigate These Risks:

(1) Purchases

To maintain product quality and cost competitiveness, we must consider equipment capacity, process technology, quality and yield rates, and lead times of the foundry. Integrated circuit (IC) designers typically select suitable foundries as their long-term supply sources, and there has been no significant increase or decrease in the number of major suppliers over the past two years. In addition to fostering strong relationships with current foundries, the Company will seek collaborations with other foundries in the future, based on the demand for product manufacturing processes and cost considerations. This strategy aims to ensure a reliable supply of production capacity and to minimize the risk associated with supply concentration.

(2) Sales

The Company sells its products to end customers through agents; therefore, the sales targets may be more concentrated. The collaborative and symbiotic relationship between integrated circuit (IC) designers and agents is a common practice in the industry. The major agents with whom the Company partners are either publicly listed companies or wholly owned subsidiaries of listed companies, allowing the Company to access various financial information from the Market Observation Post System (MOPS). Additionally, the Company conducts both regular and irregular credit evaluations of its customers' financial status and establishes allowances for doubtful accounts based on the recoverability and aging of overdue accounts. There were no uncollected overdue accounts recorded in the Company's books for the most recent fiscal year and up to the date of publication of the annual report

5.6.10 The implications, risks, and mitigation strategies related to a significant transfer or substitution of shareholdings by directors or major shareholders possessing more than 10% of the Company's shares are outlined as follows: None.

5.6.11 The impacts, risks, and countermeasures of the change in operating rights on the Company:

(1) The Chairman of our company plays an active role in its management. The management team possesses a robust sense of mission and regards the management of the Company as a lifelong commitment. Our organization has established a comprehensive structure that clearly delineates the responsibilities and authorities of each

-136-


department. This framework facilitates the implementation of management strategies, ensures operational efficiency, and guarantees favorable business outcomes. Furthermore, employees align with the Company's developmental trajectory and progress in tandem with the organization. In conclusion, there is minimal risk of substantial equity transfer or alterations that could result in a shift in management rights.

(2) Succession Planning and Operational Management

(2.1) The roles and responsibilities of the Company's Chairman and President are clearly delineated, leading the Company steadily toward the goal of becoming a world-class, preeminent corporation.

(2.2) To cultivate essential management talent, the Administrative Resources Department coordinates the design of annual training curricula, offering diverse courses to enhance management competencies and strategic thinking, thereby laying a robust foundation for the Company's sustainable operations. We continue to drive the High-Potential (HiPo) Talent Program, establishing a comprehensive talent pool through talent identification, competency assessments, and the formulation of Individual Development Plans using a 9-box grid, from which top-tier successor candidates are identified. The succession planning and operational status of key management personnel were reported to the Board of Directors on November 6, 2025.

5.6.12 Litigious and non-litigious matters:

Litigation or non-litigation shall include material litigation, non-litigation or administrative litigation which have been decided or are pending between the Company and its directors, general managers, actually persons in charge, major shareholders holding more than 10% of the Company and its subsidiaries, the result of which may have a material impact on shareholders' equity or the price of securities, so the Company shall disclose the facts of the dispute, the target amount, the date of filing the lawsuit, the main litigants and the handling up to the date of issuing the Annual Report: None.

5.6.13 Other important risks and countermeasures:

(1) Intelligent Property Management

According to Article 37-2 of the Corporate Governance Practice Code for Listed and Over-the-Counter Companies, as well as the stipulations outlined in the corporate governance evaluation indicator 2.27, our company has adopted the Taiwan Intellectual Property

-137-


Management Standards (TIPS) in 2023. We have developed a management cycle based on the "Plan-Do-Check-Action" (PDCA) and established an intellectual property management system that is informed by risk assessment principles.

Measures for Implementation:

Following a comprehensive evaluation of the internal and external factors affecting the management of the Company's intellectual property, as well as the expectations and requirements of stakeholders regarding its development, the Company has identified and confirmed the associated risks and opportunities that necessitate attention. Furthermore, appropriate countermeasures have been established. The Intellectual Property Office has collaborated with the research and development unit, along with other relevant units, to create, promote, and implement the Company's intellectual property management system, ensuring adherence to the Taiwan Intellectual Property Management Standards. Concurrently, the Office is committed to enhancing employees' awareness of confidentiality and intellectual property issues while fortifying the patent portfolio and monitoring processes.
