Lite-On Technology Corporation Business Report
Dear Shareholders,
LITE-ON's global consolidated revenue amounted to NT$177.954 billion in 2019. Operating profit was NT$9.35 billion, increasing 25% year-over-year. Net profit was NT$9.38 billion and earnings per share (EPS) was NT$4.03, the highest level in last three years, representing 18% year-on-year growth. The figures reflected LITE-ON's ongoing effort to focus on realigning revenue sources and creating stronger operations, thereby achieving successful upgrade and transformation.
Business Performance
In 2019, the LITE-ON opto-electronics business segment reported steady growth as its LED components benefited from the demand for 5G and artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) applications. LED vehicle lighting shipments rose. The information technology business segment continued to see rising shipments of AI smart home devices and game console power supply products, and reported market share gains in keyboards, mice and peripherals and streamlined shipments of all-in-one laser machines. LITE-ON's pillars for growth, cloud computing, LED components, LED vehicle and outdoor lighting, 5G, AIoT and other applications, accounted for more than 30% of the total revenue, and contributed more than 40% of the profit. On the operational side of business, we will focus on opportunities created by cloud computing, such as power supply, casing, network communication and other IoT applications, and growth in power supply and opto-electronics components in 5G and AIoT applications.
In the interest of effective specialization in the group, the business segments operate independently and follow a diversification strategy designed to improve the overall business performance and competitiveness. In 2019, an extraordinary general meeting passed a proposal to spin off the Solid-State Drive (SSD) Business Unit to a wholly owned subsidiary, Solid State Storage Technology Corporation. The Solid-State Drive Business Unit will be transferred to KIOXIA Holdings Corporation by sale of shares. The business to be sold is the operations and assets of the Solid-State Drive Business Unit, including inventory, machines and equipment, teams, technologies and intellectual property rights, and client/supplier relationships. The transaction price is US$165 million. (The actual amount will be subject to adjustment at settlement as provided in the agreement.)
In response to drastic changes in global geopolitical and economic conditions, LITE-ON has been investing heavily in establishing long term advantages, including automated production systems and robotic arms, accelerated smart manufacturing, strengthened integration of manufacturing platforms and capabilities to manage digital supply chains at production facilities around the world, and integration of internal talent and external partners. LITE-ON aims to build a supply chain for smart manufacturing and enhance the company's core competency of serving customers worldwide. Meanwhile, LITE-ON has been making more extensive use of the Microsoft productivity tool, "O-365", and introduced robotic process automations (RPA) to push for a complete digital transformation in the last two years. This year, we will take one step further to combine management data on the LITE-ON Cloud and implement AI in stages to turn LITE-ON into an AI-enabled smart manufacturing business.

Corporate Social Responsibility
As part of our ongoing effort to develop sustainable governance, increase our influence in the industry and achieve environmental sustainability, LITE-ON created the Corporate Sustainability Committee in 2019. The committee reports directly to the board of directors, and serves to strengthen the sustainable governance mechanisms. Other responsibilities of the committee include optimization of key supplier criteria and improvement of the quality of sustainable supply chain management and the value of products. LITE-ON was one of the winners of the "Most Prestigious Sustainability Awards - Top Ten Domestic Corporates" by Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards (TCSA) in 2019. We were also a winner of the Corporate Sustainability Report Platinum Award and the Climate Leadership Award. LITE-ON has recently been rated "A" by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP 2019) at the beginning of 2020. The rating makes LITE-ON one of the leading companies worldwide in terms of information transparency and action to fight climate change. LITE-ON has been listed as a member of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for nine years in a row since 2011, and has had a place on the MSCI ESG Leaders Index for six years in a row. In Taiwan, Lite-On was ranked top 5% in the 2019 Corporate Governance Evaluation Survey jointly implemented by the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) and the Taipei Exchange (TPEx); listed as a constituent stock in the FTSE4Good TIP Taiwan ESG Index; awarded Commonwealth Magazine's Corporate Citizen Award in the large enterprise category for the 13th time; and named a winner in the electronics technology category of the Global Views Monthly Corporate Social Responsibility Survey 2019.
Future Outlook
Going forward, many uncertainties remain in the global economy, while the COVID-19 outbreak creates new ones for business operations. In addition to staying alert to changes and keeping flexibility in production capacity to meet the global demand, LITE-ON continues to focus on cloud computing, 5G, AIoT and other new applications in the medium to long term. We will invest and build up the company to become a competitive smart manufacturer that is always up to date with current developments. The goals include Industry 4.0 and Lighthouses. We will strive to put down strong roots and grow into a centenarian corporation. LITE-ON's investments in techniques, information communication technologies, digital transformation, and global human resources are intended to facilitate the development of new businesses. All employees are encouraged to share with open minds and keep learning, growing, and creating new things. Employees are also encouraged to acquire new skills such as digitization and supply chain management in smart manufacturing. We pay attention to details and do not take shortcuts so we may take the company to the next level and be one of the best and most agile in the business. We would like to thank our shareholders for your long-term support and recognition. We look forward to having you by our side in 2020 as LITE-ON continues the progress toward becoming a centenarian corporation.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Lite-On Technology Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Lite-On Technology Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and consolidated cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its consolidated financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, 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.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
- 9 -
The key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 are as follows:
Allowance for Impairment Loss of Trade Receivables
The allowance for impairment loss of trade receivables reflects management’s subjective evaluation and determination of the recoverable amount of overdue receivables containing credit risk. The key assumptions and inputs used in the evaluation process involve significant estimates by management. Hence, we focused on assessing the reasonableness of the management’s estimates of allowance for impairment loss in our audit.
Refer to Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for the summary of significant accounting policies. Refer to Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for the carrying amount of trade receivables and impairment loss of trade receivables. In response to management’s estimates mentioned above, we assessed the classification of client’s credit rating, the reasonableness of expected credit loss rates, the calculation accuracy of allowance for impairment loss, and the recoverability of outstanding receivables via subsequent receipt testing.
Allowance for Inventory Valuation Loss
The value of inventory is affected by the volatility of market demand and ever-changing technology which could make inventory outdated and obsolete. The policy for determining the allowance for inventory loss reflects the management’s subjective evaluation. Hence, we focused on assessing the reasonableness of management’s estimates of allowance for inventory valuation loss in our audit.
Refer to Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for the summary of significant accounting policies. Refer to Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for the carrying amount of inventory. In response to management’s estimates mentioned above, we assessed the classification of inventory aging reports by business segment, the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation loss rates, the correctness of inventory aging classification and the allowance calculation via audit sampling, and the physical examination of inventory through year-end inventory count to determine whether inventory was outdated or obsolete.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Lite-On Technology Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 to which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
- 10 -
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.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain 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.
-
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 auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
- 11 -
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Cheng-Tsai Tsai and Meng-Chieh Chiu.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Lite-On Technology Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Lite-On Technology Corporation (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company 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.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The key audit matters identified in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 are as follows:
Allowance for Impairment Loss of Trade Receivables
The allowance for impairment loss of trade receivables reflects management’s subjective evaluation and determination of the recoverable amount of overdue receivables containing credit risk. The key assumptions and inputs used in the evaluation process involve significant estimates by management. Hence, we focused on assessing the reasonableness of management’s estimates of allowance for impairment loss in our audit.
- 20 -
Refer to Note 4 to the Company’s financial statements for the summary of significant accounting policies. Refer to Note 11 to the Company’s financial statements for the carrying amount of trade receivables and impairment loss of trade receivables. In response to management’s estimates mentioned above, we assessed the classification of client’s credit rating, the reasonableness of expected credit loss rates, the calculation accuracy of allowance for impairment loss, and the recoverability of outstanding receivables via subsequent receipt testing.
Allowance for Inventory Valuation Loss
The value of inventory is affected by the volatility of market demand and ever-changing technology which could make inventory outdated and obsolete. The policy for determining the allowance for inventory loss reflects management’s subjective evaluation. Hence, we focused on assessing the reasonableness of management’s estimates of allowance for inventory valuation loss in our audit.
Refer to Note 4 to the Company’s financial statements for the summary of significant accounting policies. Refer to Note 12 to the Company’s financial statements for the carrying amount of inventory. In response to management’s estimates mentioned above, we assessed the classification of inventory aging reports by business segments, the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation loss rates, the correctness of inventory aging classification and the allowance calculation via audit sampling, and the physical examination of inventory through year-end inventory count to determine whether inventory was outdated or obsolete.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’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 Company 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 Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in 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 financial statements.
- 21 -
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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.
-
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 Company’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 Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only 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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
- 22 -
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Cheng-Tsai Tsai and Meng-Chieh Chiu.

If, however, a shareholder files a lawsuit pursuant to Article 189 of the Company Act, the recording shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation. Attendance at shareholders meetings shall be calculated based on numbers of shares. The number of shares in attendance shall be calculated according to the shares indicated by the Notice of attendance handed in plus the number of shares whose voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronically.

However, when the attending shareholders do not represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chair may announce a postponement, provided that no more than two such postponements, for a combined total of no more than 1 hour, may be made. If the quorum is not met after two postponements and the attending shareholders still represent less than one third of the total number of issued shares, the chair shall declare the meeting adjourned.

The chair shall allow ample opportunity during the meeting for explanation and discussion of
32
proposals and of amendments or extraordinary 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 and call for a vote.
11.
Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker's slip the subject of the speech, his/her 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 does not correspond to the subject given 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. If the shareholder's speech violates the rules or exceeds the scope of the agenda item, the chair may terminate the speech.

12.
Voting at a shareholders meeting shall be calculated based the number of shares.
With respect to resolutions of shareholders meetings, the number of shares held by a shareholder with no voting rights shall not be calculated as part of 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 this Corporation, that shareholder may not vote on that item, and may not exercise voting rights as proxy for any other shareholder.
The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the preceding paragraph shall not be calculated as part of the voting rights represented by attending shareholders.
With the exception of a trust enterprise or a shareholder services agent approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed 3 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 calculation.
- A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held, except when the shares are restricted shares or are deemed non-voting shares under Article 179, paragraph 2 of the Company Act.
When this Corporation holds a shareholders meeting, it may allow the shareholders to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means. When voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronic means, the method of exercise shall be established in accordance with the laws and shall be specified in the shareholders meeting notice. A shareholder exercising voting rights by
33

18.
When a meeting is in progress, the chair may announce a break based on time considerations. If a force majeure event occurs, the chair may rule the meeting temporarily suspended and announce a time when, in view of the circumstances, the meeting will be resumed.
