Macronix International Co., Ltd. 2021 Business Report
The impact of COVID-19 on the global economy has not subsided in 2021, but it has accelerated the progress of digitalization and created strong demand in fields of application, such as 5G, data centers, and automotive electronics, which has driven continued price hikes of high quality and high capacity products. Thanks to the collective efforts of all employees, Macronix has become the market leader with its advanced process technology and highest quality, and it has achieved excellent revenue, gross profit, and EPS growth in 2021. Our NOR and NAND Flash revenue increased over 50% compared with 2020, and it drove consolidated revenue to a record high in 2021. We successfully increased our profit margin through strategic adjustments of production capacity and optimization of product portfolio while operating at full capacity. Furthermore, the successful disposal of our 6-inch wafer fab and equipment increased non-operating income, and further improved our profit performance for the year.
The operating performance of 2021 is as follows: consolidated net operating revenue for the year was NT$50.573 billion; annual consolidated gross profit was NT$21.05 billion, while annual gross margin increased 7.9% compared with 2020 to 41.6%; net income after tax was NT$11.963 billion; earnings per share jumped to NT$6.48; cash generated from operating activities was NT$16.116 billion; cash expenditures for investment activities was NT$2.623 billion, with NT$18.565 billion in cash at the end of the period; debt ratio was 39.1%; book value per share rose to NT$25.2;return on equity increased to 29%. The steady growth of our free cash flow and book value will continue to increase company value and strengthen our financial position.
Macronix has continuously made improvements through R&D and innovation since it was established, and has secured a crucial position in the world with its outstanding R&D capabilities and patents, while playing a key role in the non-volatile memory market. Our research results were once again recognized by the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in 2021. We have obtained a total of 334 patents in various countries in Year 2021. As of the end of 2021, Macronix has a total of 8,654 patents worldwide, showing stable growth while providing Macronix with a strong fortress of intellectual property rights, which has allowed us to secure a leading position in the global non-volatile memory market. Furthermore, we continue to collaborate with major international tech companies to develop advanced memory and analog artificial intelligence technologies and actively developing advanced non-volatile memory technologies and applications, in hopes of providing people with better digital lifestyles.
With regard to process and product development, ROM bit shipments grew quarterly in 2021 and accounted for 27% of our overall revenue that year. As for NOR Flash, our 55nm process continues to account for an increasing percentage and accounted for 58% of density shipment in the fourth quarter of 2021; we will develop the 45 nm process and advanced NOR product applications. High density products of 256Mb and above are accounting for an increasing percentage of NOR Flash revenue each year and has reached 42% as of 2021. Macronix has transitioned to applications that are less affected by cyclical fluctuations so as to reduce the impact of cyclical fluctuations in end demand on overall operations. Our revenue from industry grade, medical, and aerospace high quality applications doubled compared with
- 8 -
2020, showing that high quality and high capacity applications will become the main source of Macronix’s business growth. With regard to NAND Flash, 19nm SLC NAND Flash products accounted for 59% of overall density shipment in the fourth quarter of 2021. New products and new applications are now entering the verification phase and will gradually make Macronix one of the main suppliers of SLC NAND Flash. As for 3D NAND Flash, our 48-layer 3D NAND Flash products have reached high quality standards and obtained certification from our customers. Mass production of 48-layer 3D NAND Flash products began in the third quarter of 2021 and is expected to contribute to revenue this year (2022). We will continue to develop 192-layer stacking technology to meet customers’ need for high capacity products.
Artificial intelligence set off the next industrial revolution, and new applications are driving the continued growth of demand on memory. In the future, we will focus on expanding automotive, medical, industrial, 5G, and server applications, which will become the main source of our business growth. Big data and artificial intelligence are highly dependent on data extraction and processing so the bandwidth of memory storage will become a major challenge. In the future, memory will transform from simple data storage to a part of the calculating function and form a new memory-centric processing framework. This new solution can be combined with logic chips for more diverse applications and thoroughly transform memory from a supporting role to a leading role. Hence, Macronix’s development strategy will also transition from pure memory to system applications and from 2D to 3D structures as we actively develop the next generation of memory products. Macronix has always been widely recognized in the industry for its excellent product stability, reliability and for focusing on the development of high quality and large capacity memory with low power consumption. For example, Macronix NOR Flash products have been employed in Low Earth orbit satellites because they can meet the strict temperature requirements of space. We also launched 1.2V NOR Flash products with low power consumption, which conforms to the trend of low carbon applications. Our new generation Internet security solution ArmorFlash™ has been employed in new generation automated driving platforms, and has been recognized with the Taiwan Excellence Award–Gold Award. These achievements show that Macronix has captured the market’s attention with its excellent innovation capabilities and is thus able to secure a place in the highly competitive memory market.
As the world turning its attention on ESG (environmental, social and governance) issues, being the world’s leading manufacturer of non-volatile memory, Macronix not only focuses on its business operations, but also sets sustainable development as a target and establishes management procedures and puts this target into practice gradually. Macronix continued to maintain excellent performance in the domestic Corporate Governance Evaluation in 2021 and won the National Occupational Safety and Health Award–the Enterprise Benchmarking Award from the Ministry of Labor, which shows that Macronix has achieved excellent performance in safety and health management, friendly workplace, and corporate social responsibility. With regard to talent cultivation, Macronix actively contributes to society through Macronix Education Foundation, a foundation focuses on science education and fostering scientific innovation capabilities in the younger generation in Taiwan, which was awarded the Social Education Contribution Award from the Ministry of Education. Furthermore, School of Computing, which was donated and established by Macronix, helps the long-term cultivation of interdisciplinary and AI talent in Taiwan then will foster and consolidate the human capital for technological development.
We uphold the business philosophy of “honesty” and resolutely pursue innovation and
- 9 -
quality, which enabled us to successfully develop the 3D generation and once again fulfill our commitment to provide customers with the highest quality products and service support. Looking to the future, 3D NAND and advanced NOR production capacity will be important support for Macronix’s business growth. Hence, the management team will adopt a stable strategy with a cautious attitude when implementing the 12-inch wafer fab capacity expansion project launched in 2021. We hope that all employees could work together to accelerate the development of next generation key technologies and memory products also actively expand new customers and fields for high-end applications, to allow us to reach new heights and share the achievements of our efforts with employees, shareholders, and customers!

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and the Shareholders Macronix International Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Macronix International Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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, 2021 and 2020, 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, 2021. 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.
Key audit matters for the Company’s parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 are stated as follows:
Valuation of inventory
The Company manufactures and sells ROM products, NOR Flash, and NAND Flash, which are widely used in consumer electronics. As of December 31, 2021, inventory was NT$13,134,844 thousand, accounting for 17% of the total assets. With the current rapid changes in technology and the improvements in manufacturing technologies, market demand for memory chip could change significantly and result in inventory obsolescence. Since inventory valuation and estimates of net realizable value of inventory are subject to management’s judgment, they are considered as
- 12 -
accounting estimates with relatively high uncertainty. Therefore, valuation of inventory has been identified as a key audit matter. Refer to Notes 4(e), 5(a) and 9 to the financial statements for the details of accounting policy, accounting judgment, key sources of estimation uncertainty and the related information about the valuation of inventory.
Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above area included the following:
-
We understood and assessed the adequacy of the policy and procedures for the inventory valuation adopted by the management.
-
We obtained data on the assessment of inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value and selected sample data, and we tested the reasonableness of net realizable value by comparing inventory carrying amounts to recent selling prices; we tested the reasonableness of allowance for inventory loss by comparing net realizable value with carrying amounts. We obtained the inventory aging report, and we tested the accuracy and completeness of the report by agreeing the age interval, quantity and amount to the supporting documents of inbound inventory. We assessed the reasonableness of allowance for inventory loss by recalculating the amount in accordance with the stated valuation policy for the inventory.
-
We performed a retrospective review of inventory movements to evaluate the reasonableness of inventory obsolescence reserve policy and policy on scrapping of inventories.
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.
- 13 -
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 the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the 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, 2021 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.

Attachment 4
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and the Shareholders Macronix International Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Macronix International Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and 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, 2021 and 2020, 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 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, 2021. 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.
- 22 -
Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 are stated as follows:
Valuation of inventory
The Group manufactures and sells ROM products, NOR Flash, and NAND Flash, which are widely used in consumer electronics. As of December 31, 2021, inventory was NT$13,156,387 thousand, accounting for 17% of the total assets in the consolidated balance sheet. With the current rapid changes in technology and the improvements in manufacturing technologies, market demand for memory chip could change significantly and result in inventory obsolescence. Since inventory valuation and estimates of net realizable value of inventory are subject to management’s judgment, they are considered as accounting estimates with relatively high uncertainty. Therefore, valuation of inventory has been identified as a key audit matter. Refer to notes 4 (f), 5 (a), and 11 to the consolidated financial statements for the details of accounting policy, accounting judgment, key sources of estimation uncertainty and the related information about the valuation of inventory.
Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above area included the following:
-
We understood and assessed the adequacy of the policy and procedures for the inventory valuation adopted by the management.
-
We obtained data on the assessment of inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value and selected sample data, and we tested the reasonableness of net realizable value by comparing inventory carrying amounts to recent selling prices; we tested the accuracy of allowance for inventory loss by comparing net realizable value with carrying amounts. We obtained the inventory aging report, and we tested the accuracy and completeness of the report by agreeing the age interval, quantity, and amount to the supporting documents of inbound inventory. We assessed the reasonableness of allowance for inventory loss by recalculating the amount in accordance with the stated valuation policy for the inventory.
-
We performed a retrospective review of inventory movements to evaluate the reasonableness of inventory obsolescence reserve policy and policy on scrapping of inventories.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 on 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.
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.
- 23 -
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 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 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.
- 24 -
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, 2021 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 Tung Hui Yeh and Kuo Tyan Hong.
