Lite-On Technology Corporation Business Report
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Facing the rapid transformations in the global information and telecommunications industries, Lite-On has already started implementing strategic allocation and innovative transformation for product portfolio optimization. As a result, even with the harsh challenges in the global market, Lite-On has continued with its stellar operating performance by achieving a global consolidated revenue of NT$213.2 billion in 2013, a figure very close compared to last year’s. The six major growing Non-PC-related products comprised 40% of the overall revenue, which in turn brought our net operating profit to NT$8.75 billion after taxes. The annual earnings per share (EPS) reached NT$3.83, the equivalent of an 18% annual growth.
At the same time, Lite-On is still standing firm as No.1 on the list of Top 1,000 Taiwanese Manufacturers in CommonWealth Magazine for the fifth consecutive year, clearly affirming Lite-On’s core competitiveness and our leading position in the global market.
Operating Performance
Lite-On’s core products continued to show strong growth potential in 2013. Thanks to the ever-growing global demand for the cloud-computing-capable high-end networking devices and server power management systems, mobile devices, LED and lighting applications, car electronics, solid state drives (SSD), and gaming consoles, not only did the power supply business group continue its strong growth but also the high-end camera modules expanded and delivered products smoothly. With the increase in tablet PCs’ and smartphones’s global marketshare, the annual revenue grew by a new record high of 30%. LEDs also saw an increase close to 2% in annual revenue growth aided by the demand in components and lighting application markets. LED street lights even reached an over 50% annual revenue growth due to the global demand in energy-saving devices and our successful deliveries to Taiwanese and American customers. Sales of car lighting also increased over 20%. With the energy brought by the demand in end-markets and the increase in marketshare, storage devices have also had positive results--SSDs and gamingrelated products saw a substantial increase. Annual growth doubled for both lines of products.
On the other hand, as the leading manufacturer of optoelectronic components, LiteOn has continued to invest heavily in the research and development of high-end products to actively enhance our R&D capabilities and increase production automation. We are now investing 3% of our annual revenue which marks a 10% increase from the previous year in order to ensure Lite-On’s global leading position and our core capabilities in optoelectronics and new businesses to satisfy the most pressing demands of our customers.

Honors and Recognitions
Apart from eye-opening results in operations, Lite-On received various recognitions from home and abroad, once again showing that besides striving for operational performance and continuous growth, Lite-On’s devotion to building transparent corporate governance and upholding corporate social responsibility. After a long history of dedication to corporate social responsibility, Lite-On was recognized as the runner-up for CommonWealth Magazine’s Benchmark Enterprise Award for the fifth consecutive year. At the same time, it was selected as a leading member of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for the third year in a row. Winning first prizes in both the global and emerging market computer hardware category is a big step up for LiteOn Technology, placing it above many famous companies in Asia, the Americas and Europe.
In Aisa’s financial media, CommonWealth Magazine placed Lite-On Technology on the “Excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility” list for the seventh consecutive year and the Global Views Magazine awarded us with the Overall Performance in Corporate Social Responsibility and the Paragon Prize for Education for the second year. Lite-On’s social involvement, either in hosting the strictly charity-based Lite-On Awards or running the Xinyi Community College managed by the Lite-On Cultural Foundation, is highly valued and recognized by society.
To strengthen our communication channels with all employees, shareholders and stakeholders and to further reinforce information disclosure transparency, Lite-On Technology has published its annual CSR report every year starting from 2007. Its contents and structure have been certified as GRIG3.1 Application Level A+ and AA 1000 Type 1 Moderate Assurance Level by SGS Taiwan Ltd., an impartial third party. This shows how we are focused and dedicated to keeping the same standards as the international community. Furthermore, we have received the Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Report (CSR) Award conferred by the Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy (TISE) for the third consecutive year now.
Development and Outlook
2014 will mark the 40[th] year anniversary of Lite-On Technology. Along the way, LiteOn has reached two important milestones that established the foundation for the company’s sustainable growth. The first milestone happened in 2002. While the PC industry was reaching maturity, Lite-On consolidated four subsidiaries into one joint corporation in order to strengthen corporate competitiveness. The “four into one”consolidation was not only an unique action among the mid-sized enterprises in Taiwan, but also one which firmly rooted Lite-On’s leading position in the electronic industry in Taiwan, Hong Kong and China and led to the company’s grand success in the global telecommunications and networking industry. Faced with the changes in the industries in recent years, Lite-On decided to put forward the second phase of transformation. Starting in late 2013, Lite-On began the“seven into one”project to gradually consolidate its subsidiaries and transform them into 8 major business groups. The consolidated subsidiaries included Lite-On IT Corp., Leotek Electronics Corp., Li
- 9 -
Shin International Enterprise Corp., Lite-On Clean Energy Technology Corp., Lite-On Mobile, Dong Guan G-Tech Computers Co., Ltd. and Dong Guan G-Pro Computer Co., Ltd.
This year, Lite-On Tech officially kicked off the “One Lite-On” project. The eight business groups after consolidation became the Mobile Mechanics, PID, Power system, Storage, MEC, CDSS, OPS and the New Business unit. Through organizational and level streamlining, we can effectively integrate all resources, enhance the overall utilization of assets and decrease financial and operational costs to elevate operational performance and increase return on equity. At the same time, the pushing forces of the eight business groups, including cloud computing, mobile devices, LED and lighting application, SSDs and car electronics will become the main driving forces for future profitability and revenue growth for the company.
Looking at 2014, the economic development of the European and emerging markets are showing positive signs. Lite-On Tech will continue to be cautiously optimistic while facing heavy competition from the global market. We will stand firm on our foundation of “innovation and execution” to consider our competitive niche and advantageous position in our environment. We will strive to find a world-class leading position for our core business and seek differentiation from our competitors. At the same time, profit increase will remain our main target and quality growth of the company will remain our main goal.
Last but not least, I would like to thank all of our employees for their contribution and dedication and all our customers, suppliers, shareholders and members of society for their long-term support and recognition. As we celebrate our 40th anniversary, we hope that through the “seven into one” project, the company will continue to grow under the One Lite-On structure and move a step closer to our vision of becoming a centenarian corporation.
