Chapter I. Letter to Shareholders

Complex Business Environment

In 2024, Taiwanese businesses faced a highly volatile and unpredictable operating environment due to major political and economic shifts such as geopolitical tensions, the US-China technology war, and the US presidential election. In particular, changes in the semiconductor supply chain are closely linked to the US presidential election. Taiwan’s semiconductor industry has faced the dual pressure of US regulatory controls and tariffs, as well as various international responses, geopolitical conflicts and war-related disruptions further contributing to sharp fluctuations in raw material prices. Additionally, the Red Sea crisis has led to the increase in container and bulk shipping rates. Domestically, the Hualien earthquake on April 3 and the impending implementation of energy policies, carbon fee collection, and other wide array of impacts also pose significant challenges. In response, the Company has adopted a pragmatic and cautious strategy, including maintaining high-quality products and professional services, proactively and appropriately reducing inventory, accelerating R&D progress, and reducing capital expenditures. However, weak demand for memory products in the enduser market has hindered our inventory reduction efforts. As a result, the Company’s consolidated revenue for last year (2024) declined by 6% compared to the preceding year (2023), with a 0.9% decrease in gross profit margin. This led to operating losses for the second consecutive year, falling short of expectations.

Operating Performance

The operating results for 2024 are as follows: The consolidated net operating revenue for the year amounted to NT$25.9 billion; the consolidated gross profit amounted to NT$6.1 billion; the average annual gross margin amounted to 23.6%; the loss after tax amounted to NT$3.2 billion; and the loss per share amounted to NT$1.73. Cash flow from operating activities amounted to NT$175 million, whereas cash flow from investment activities amounted to NT$5.173 billion, with NT$11.623 billion in cash equivalents at the end of the period. The net value of inventory amounted to NT$13.406 billion; the debt ratio amounted to 43.5%, and the book value per share amounted to NT$23.72. All of which indicate that the Company’s financial position remains stable.

Commitment to Technological Innovation

The Company has long been dedicated to innovative R&D, enhancing its growth potential and competitiveness through technological innovation. For example, we filed a total of 309 patent applications in various countries last year (2024); as of the end of the same year, the Company had already obtained 9,520 approved patents worldwide. In addition to ranking at the top of the semiconductor industry in terms of number of patents, we also hold a large number of high-quality, internationally critical technology. These assets allowed us to secure a leading position in the global non-volatile memory market. Last year (2024), the Company’s ArmorBoot MX76 Secure Boot Serial NOR Flash was recognized as the Best Memory Solution of the Year at the EE Awards Asia 2024. The fourth consecutive time we were honored with the award. Additionally, at electronica 2024 in Munich, Germany, the Company launched its 3D NOR product, aiming to collaborate with world-class customers to address the growing demand for non-volatile memory in various applications, including automotive, industrial, and medical sectors, particularly in areas such as autonomous driving, smart technologies, and high-security solutions.

Production and Quality

In terms of manufacturing processes and products, NOR flash accounted for 59% of annual revenue last year (2024), while ROM contributed 22%. Particularly, the demand for NOR flash from high-quality and highvalue-added applications in automotive, industrial, medical, and communication sectors has already exceeded 40%. NAND flash accounted for 11% of annual revenue, while 96-layer 3D NAND flash products achieved

  • 1 -

stable production last year (2024) and will gradually contribute to revenue. The ongoing development and application of 3D NAND will focus on enterprise-grade SSD products to meet customers' demands for highercapacity and high-quality storage solutions.

Products and Marketing

Following the rapid development of high-performance computing centers, AI, the automotive market, and 5G, the applications of memory chips will become even more extensive. In response to customer support, the Company will remain committed to innovative R&D, proprietary technology, and high-quality products, continuously providing customers with high-performance and highly reliable memory solutions. For example, the superior data access capabilities of ArmorFlash not only enable brand customers to develop more AI applications that operate independently and swiftly on end and personal electronic devices, but also feature notable advantages such as low power consumption, high speed, and advanced system security. In this regard, The Company will continue to refine and enhance the new ArmorFlash MX78, which features a new design that increases data access speed by over 100 times compared to the previous generation. In addition to the optimization of the startup process and execution of critical security functions in electronic devices, it provides a smoother user experience. This function has been validated by external organizations, earning ISO/SAE 21434 certification this year (2024), which emphasizes network security in design. This proves that the Company’s memory products can meet customer requirements for information confidentiality, integrity, and availability in automotive and industrial control applications. Additionally, the Company has made significant progress in collaborations with leading international autonomous driving solution providers and major automotive MCU chip manufacturers, securing adoption by top-tier automakers and automotive electronics manufacturers.

Sustainable Development and Social Responsibility

Facing growingly complex market environments and risks, even more challenges have appeared in corporate sustainability. In response, the Company adopted the Corporate Governance 3.0 – Sustainable Development Blueprint of the Financial Supervisory Commission under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and appropriately established and implemented corporate governance and risk management mechanisms. Last year (2024), the Company ranked in the 6%–20% tier among publicly listed companies in Taiwan's 10th Corporate Governance Evaluation, and in the 11%–20% tier among electronics companies with a market capitalization exceeding NT$10 billion. Additionally, the Company was recognized by the Ministry of Environment for Excellence in Green Procurement and received the Award of Excellence for Occupational Health and Safety Management System Performance in 2024 issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the Ministry of Labor. The Company continues to promote a friendly workplace and employee benefits, and improve the facilities at the employee recreation and fitness center to promote employees' physical and mental well-being. As a result, we earned recognition from the Sports Administration of the Ministry of Education, receiving the 2024 Taiwan i Sports certification. The Company and its employees are also actively engaged in social contributions. Through the Macronix Education Foundation and/or various public organizations, the Company unites its strength, employees and the broader public to make a meaningful contribution and extend support to the underserved areas of society. Last year (2024), more than 4,000 employees participated in charitable activities, with total donations exceeding NT$3.8 million. By now, the Company has been hosting the Golden Silicon Awards for 25 years, using competition categories each year to lead students to engage in innovative research fields. As AI has become one of the most prominent global technology topics in recent years, the Macronix Golden Silicon Awards already introduced an AI category as early as 2019. To date, over 250 competition entries have leveraged AI to drive innovative research, with several advancing to commercial development. The competition has successfully nurtured more than 700 outstanding AI talents. All these efforts serve as a strong affirmation of the Company’s ongoing commitment to and implementation of the ESG and sustainable development through concrete actions.

Future Outlook

The global political and economic environment remains dynamic and challenging, while the memory industry continues to develop amid the ongoing market recovery. Facing these external challenges, the Company’s management team will continue to uphold the business philosophy of groundedness, sizing up the situation to flexibly calibrate production, actively and prudently reduce inventory, and adjust capital expenditures. Together with employees, the Company will try its best to accelerate R&D, mass production, enhance management efficiency to improve operational performance, and strengthen corporate competitiveness. The Company will continue to develop the high-quality and high-performance memory application market, while also increasing the revenue share of automotive and industrial control products. Furthermore, by leveraging new high-value products, such as 3D NOR flash, the Company aims to seize opportunities in high-end, high-quality, and high-capacity applications within the automotive and industrial control sectors.

We sincerely appreciate our shareholders' continued support and trust, which has enabled the Company to maintain stable operations and drive innovation amid changing market conditions while striving to seize opportunities in times of uncertainty. The Company and all employees will continue to enhance cost competitiveness and strengthen our corporate foundation. We will continue to work hard, and with the best interests of the Company and its shareholder value as the highest priority, will strive to overcome adverse external factors and create value in response to the support and trust of our shareholders, customers, and employees.

  • Note 1: Where the chairman and president or equivalent position (the highest-level of the managerial officer) is the same person, the reasonableness, necessity, and response measures must be disclosed:

  • Mr. Miin Wu founded Macronix in 1989 and served as its President. He has been elected as the Chairman since 2005 and successfully had the Company become the global leader in non-volatile memory (NVM) with his breadth of vision and innovative business strategy. In 2022, he was elected as the chairman and CEO of the 12th term of the Board of Directors. Considering that the Company has four independent directors, and more than half of its directors are non-employees nor managers of the Company, the independence of the Board of Directors can be ensured. Also, in view of the repeated success of Chairman Miin Wu in leading the Company through challenging times, and to respond to the turbulent and uncertain international political and economic landscape, the restructuring of the semiconductor supply chain, as well as the unpredictable and ever-changing situations involving carbon taxes and tariffs, it is reasonable and necessary for Chairman Miin Wu to continue serving as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO). This will ensure the continuation of the forward-looking and innovative business philosophy, and maintenance of the Company’s worldwide reputation, image, and competitiveness, improving the operational efficiency and decision-making, and further enhancing its value.

Note 2: Mr. Masashi Kuramoto was reassigned as representative on August 30, 2024 by Shun Yin Investment Ltd.

  • Diversity and Independence of the Board of Directors

  • (1) Diversity of the Board of Directors:

  • The Company planned and implemented Board diversity goals based on its business model and development needs as follows:

    • ‧The Board of Directors is required to have members with professional knowledge, technology, or experience in, at a minimum, industrial technology, law, and accounting, in which more than half of all directors must have a background or experience in industrial technology, at least 1 director must be a legal expert, and at least 1 director must be an accounting expert.

    • ‧The Board of Directors should include at least two genders.

  • (2) The qualifications of our Board members meet the Company’s development needs and the Board diversity policy.

  • (3) Implementation of the Board diversity objectives in 2023 is as follows:

(2) Independence of the Board of Directors

There are 3 independent directors among all the 14 directors, which is 21.43% of the Board of Directors. None of the directors (including independent directors) is a spouse or a relative within two generations of other directors. Please refer to page 9 of this annual report for the independence of the Board of Directors.

  1. Succession Plan for Board Members and Management

  2. (1) Succession Plan for Board Members

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation clearly state that the candidate nomination system is used for director election. Board composition is planned in accordance with the Corporate Governance Principles, Regulations for Director/Supervisor Election, and Nomination Committee Charter, and professionals in industrial technology, law, and accounting are recruited in coordination with the Company’s development blueprint and Board diversity policy. Besides irregularly providing directors with continuing education information, the Company regularly schedules directors to take continuing education courses, which include corporate governance, internal control system, and financial reporting responsibility. Completion of such courses will continue to improve directors' professional knowledge and skills, and provide for director succession planning and candidates arrangements.

  • (2) Succession Plan for Management

Courses for supervisors are offered every year to train managers at all levels and cultivate sufficient managerial talent. Senior executives periodically participate in important cross-departmental business and strategy planning meetings with the president. Discussions during the meetings serve as the basis for establishing the succession team. We also established a talent pool system to examine high-potential talent at any time, and accurately select a succession team.

Note 1: Where the chairman and president or equivalent position (the highest level manager) is the same person, the reasonableness, necessity, and response measures must be disclosed: Mr. Miin Wu founded Macronix in 1989 and served as its President. He has been elected as the Chairman since 2005 and successfully had the Company become the global leader in non-volatile memory (NVM) with his breadth of vision and innovative business strategy. In 2022, he was elected as the chairman and CEO of the 12th term of the Board of Directors. Considering that the Company has four independent directors, and more than half of its directors are non-employees nor managers of the Company, the independence of the Board of Directors can be ensured. Also, in view of the repeated success of Chairman Miin Wu in leading the Company through challenging times, and to respond to the turbulent and uncertain international political and economic landscape, the restructuring of the semiconductor supply chain, as well as the unpredictable and ever-changing situations involving carbon taxes and tariffs, it is reasonable and necessary for Chairman Miin Wu to continue serving as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO). This will ensure the continuation of the forward-looking and innovative business philosophy, and maintenance of the Company’s worldwide reputation, image, and competitiveness, improving the operational efficiency and decision-making, and further enhancing its value.

Note 2: Mr. Hsin-Cheng Liu retired on March 3, 2025.

1. Please describe the policy, system, standard, and structure of remuneration to independent directors, and the correlation between duties, risk, and time input with the amount of remuneration:
The Board of Directors is authorized to determine the remuneration of independent directors based on participation in the Company’s operations, value of contributions, and domestic and overseas industry standards in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation. The independent director’s
remuneration is a fixed monthly remuneration and does not participate in the Company’s earnings distribution
2. Other than as disclosed in the above table,the remuneration earned byDirectorsprovidingservices to the Companyand all consolidated entities in the latest fiscalyear: None.

Note 1: Estimated amount Note 2: Mr. Masashi Kuramoto was reassigned as representative on August 30, 2024 by Shun Yin Investment Ltd. Note 3: Mr. Cheng-Wen Wu resigned as the Company’s independent director on May 19, 2024. Note 4: Explanation of the correlation and rationality of after-tax changes in the profit and remuneration.

(1) As the result of an after-tax net loss of our company in 2023 and 2024, the director remuneration and employee compensation were not distributed.

(2) Considering the professionalism and contributions of "independent directors," they receive a fixed monthly compensation and transportation expenses regardless of the company’s profit or loss. However, they do not participate in profit distribution, which is deemed reasonable. As for "non-independent directors," in the absence of company profits, not receiving director remuneration (only transportation expenses) is also considered reasonable.

In January 2019, the “Compensation Committee” was set up in accordance with Article 14-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act. In January 2019, the Company voluntarily set up the “Nomination Committee” to assist the operation of Board.

In 2007 and 2011, the company passed the Taiwan Corporate Governance Association CG6002 and CG6006 evaluations in the corporate governance system respectively and was ranked in the top 5% of the listed companies in the first corporate governance evaluation in 2014.

I. Has the company established the governance framework
for sustainable development and established a fully (or
partially) dedicated sustainable development unit? Does
the Board of Directors authorize the senior management
to handle such matters under its supervision?

The Company’s president led the establishment of the Sustainable
Development Committee on February 22, 2022. The committee
conducts risks assessments of sustainable development issues and
promotes the Company’s environment, social, and governance
(ESG) affairs. The committee reported the sustainable

implementation results were reported to the board of directors in
February2025.
II. Does the company assess ESG risks associated with its
operations based on the principle of materiality, and
establish related risk management policies or
strategies?
The Company plans its ESG strategy and assesses risks based on
requirements of GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) Standards,
which include all sites of the Company in Taiwan. The materiality
assessment is determined by how much attention the stakeholders
pay and how serious the influence will be on the Company’s
operations, and those issues will be managed and responded after
being sorted by the materiality. The ESG risks are identified every
year, and the high-risk items will be managed. Please refer to page
63 of this annual report for other important information that will
help understand the ESG operations. We formed the TCFD (Task
Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) Group in
response to the impact of climate change on the operation of the
company, and the group has already proposed effective strategies
for the risk of climate change.
Regarding the risk management, the Company already established
the "Risk Management Principles" which were approved by the
board of directors as the highest guiding principles for the
Company’s risk management.

response measures that will lower the impact on the
Company’s operations.
The Company defines short-term as within 1 year, mid-term
as 1-8 years, and long-term as 8 years and above. The TCFD
analyzed and identified main climate risks and opportunities
at the company-level based on job characteristics. Sources
include the transition risk of carbon tax and low carbon
technologies in the mid-term, and physical risks from
changes in average temperature. Long-term risks include
transition risk of total emission control/emissions trading and
physical risks of sea level rise. In terms of opportunities,
production processes are short-term, low carbon
products/services and adaptation/mitigation plans are mid-
term, and changes in customer behavior and searching for
new business opportunities are the Company’s long-term
development opportunities.
The Company will face transformation risk that will directly
impact operating costs in the short-, mid-, and long-term.
Hence, we actively track international trends and regulatory
developments, and ensure that our climate management is in
full compliance with government laws. For green energy
management, we are maintaining the efficiency of the solar
power generation system at 80% or above and formulating a
green energy purchasing policy. For technology

The Company’s GHG reduction policy is listed in the EHS policy
and takes the perspective of hazard prevention as the starting point
to implement hazard identification, risk assessment,
environmental impact analysis, hazardous sources control,
implementation of energy conservation, carbon reduction,
greenhouse gas reduction, water conservation, and waste
reduction. Since Ministry of Environment announced that newly
announced GHG emission coefficients will apply starting from
2024, based on ISO 14064-1:2018, article 6.4.2 Review of base-
year GHG inventory, rule (b) we adjusted the inspection baseline
year for the GHG inventory as 2023, and emission was
determined to be 375,001.280 tonCO2e after third party
verification, after deduction of the FAB 1 emissions it equals
392,366.59 tonCO2e. The reduction goal is≧1% per year.
Senior management gave instructions in 2022 to support the
government's pathway and plans for net zero emissions. The
Company set the goal to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, and
will be adjusted according to government laws and regulations,
customer needs, and international trends.

down the consumption of materials through the joint efforts of
engineering departments based on a feasible reduction plan.
As for improving waste recycling and reuse, prior to waste
disposal, we verify if the way contractors process the waste is
appropriate, giving priority to reuse.
We generated nearly 11,441 metric tons of waste in 2024.
General waste and hazardous waste are mainly recycled and
reused with a recycling/reuse rate reaching 95.1% (general
waste) and 99.8% (hazardous waste), and overall recycling/reuse
rate reaching 97.8%; hazardous waste recycling/reuse rate≧
98.8%. We established a cross-departmental waste management
platform, and periodically convene meetings for review and
improvement. It is expected to reduce the environmental load
caused by the production through the vendor selection, partner
vendor audits, and self-management inspections, achieving the
ultimategoal ofgreenproduction and waste reduction.

Climate-Related Information of TWSE/TPEx Listed Company

1. Implementation of Climate-Related Information

1. Implementation of Climate-Related Information
Item Implementation status
1. Describe the board of directors' and management's
oversight and governance of climate-related risks
and opportunities.
2. Describe how the identified climate risks and
opportunities affect the business, strategy, and
finances of the business (short, medium, and long
term).
1. Board of Directors: In the first quarter of each year, the Environment, Safety and Health
(EHS) Center summarizes the Company’s sustainability performance, progress, and
implementation results in the past year, including carbon inventory management, and reports
it to the Board of Directors. Such include: Material issues such as performance in
sustainability, results of communication with stakeholders, management of energy and
climate change. Managers: The TCFD(Task Force on Climate-related Financial
Disclosures)task force is composed of members appointed by the directors of each center,
which jointly reviews internal and external risks, and formulates risk response strategies for
material risk issues.
2. In the climate risks and opportunities analysis model, the Company defines short-term as
within 1 year, mid-term as 1-8 years, and long-term as 8 years and above. The TCFD analyzed
and identified main climate risks and opportunities that require attention at the company level
based on job characteristics. Main climate risk sources include the transition risk of carbon tax
and low carbon technologies in the mid-term, and physical risks from changes in average
temperature. Long-term risks include transition risk of total emission control/emissions trading
and physical risks of sea level rise. In terms of opportunities, production processes are short-
term, low carbon products/services and adaptation/mitigation plans are mid-term, and changes
in customer behavior and searching for new business opportunities are the Company’s long-
term development opportunities. The Company will face transformation risk that will directly
impact operating costs. Hence, the Company continually tracks international trends and
regulatory developments, and ensures that we are 100% in compliance with government laws
for climate management. In terms of green energy management, we cooperate with national
policy by evaluating the installation of solar panels and formulation of a green energy
purchasing policy. For technology transformation, we are actively purchasing low-carbon (new
process) machinery, lowering the carbon emission of products, and producing low-carbon
products that meet the expectations of our customers to enhance the sustainability
competitiveness. For long-term risks, we established a weather forecast and refrigerating
machine optimization mechanism and replaced machinerywith more efficient models.

3. Describe the financial impact of extreme weather events and
transformative actions.
4. Describe how climate risk identification, assessment, and
management processes are integrated into the overall risk
management system.
5. If scenario analysis is used to assess resilience to climate
change risks, the scenarios, parameters, assumptions,
analysis factors and major financial impacts used should
be described.
6. If there is a transition plan for managing climate-related
risks, describe the content of the plan, and the indicators
and targets used to identifyand managephysical risks and
3. Extreme weather events, such as the change in average temperature has been listed as a major
risk in the risk identification results. The impact of average temperature rise will lead to an
increase in air conditioning load, power consumption, and electricity bills, resulting in an
increase in the Company’s direct operating costs. Transition actions, such as the use of new
technologies and machinery to meet market expectations for energy conservation and carbon
reduction goals of manufacturing, may lead to adjustments in process-related technologies and
increases in production cost, which will cause the Company’s R&D cost increase.
4. The Company divides the TCFD task force into following five working groups based on the
correlation between climate opportunities and risks with various businesses: product
customers, finance, fab environmental protection, supply chain, and logistics support. The
members of each working group include middle and senior management. Each working group,
based on executive business and professional judgment, reaches a consensus on risks and
opportunities that the Company may face, and formulates a list of such risks and opportunities.
The current situation is reviewed based on TCFD identification results, and project
management is implemented by the Sustainable Development Committee based on the risk and
opportunity review results. Each working group will formulate a material risk management
approach based on the feasibility, and assess the financial impact and effect on the Company’s
operations.
5. Positing regulatory pressures in transition risks as the main object for scenario analysis, and
forecasting emissions growth based on historical data and future operational growth. The
Company assumes three scenarios of external pressures from rising temperatures: 1.5°C, 2°C,
and NDC. Future carbon costs and expenses are projected for these three scenarios, and the
financial impact of carbon fees, carbon tax, and renewable energy are analyzed. Analysis
results show that the main financial impact will come from the purchase of renewable energy
and carbon taxes (fees) up to 2040. Using renewable energy as a means of reducing carbon
emissions can reduce overall emissions by over 60%, while carbon fees or excess emission
fees will need to be paid based on the current control system for emissions that cannot be
reduced.
6. In response to the risk identification results, the Company set the long-term carbon reduction
target to achieve net-zero emissions by2050 in the face ofphysical and transformation risks,

and set a target review year every five years (the first review point is 2025). Reduction
measures are flexibly introduced or established according to production capacity planning
during the period. The indicator is set as annual greenhouse gas emissions with the target of
net zero emissions by 2050.
7. The Company has not established an internal carbon pricing mechanism yet.
8. The Company set the long-term carbon reduction target of net-zero emissions by 2050, and set
a target review year every five years (the first review point is 2025). Reduction measures are
flexibly introduced or established according to production capacity planning during the period.
The scope covers all locations in Taiwan (Fab 2, Fab 5, Head Office and Testing Plant), and
covers Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. The short-term annual target is to reduce the annual
emissions by≧1% on average compared with the baseline year. The medium-term target is
to reduce emissions in 2025 by 20% compared with estimated emissions, and the long-term
target is for the Company’s Taiwan locations to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, in line
with the national goal. In addition to focusing on process improvement, energy efficiency
improvement, increasing the proportion of renewable energy use, and planning to obtain
carbon rights, the Company is also actively evaluating participation in government guidance
projects. Compared with the target review year of 2025, greenhouse gas emissions in 2024 are
still 12,000 metric tons of CO2e. It is expected that the reduction measures in 2024 and 2025
include the installation of fluorine gas reduction equipment, increasing the utilization rate of
green electricity and energy-saving to achieve the target..

(II) State of the Industry

  1. Industry Development and Competition

Memory IC can be divided into two types according to their functions. Volatile memory refers to the memory that loses data when the power has been switched off, such as DRAM and SRAM. On the other hand, non-volatile memory retains the memory even when the power is switched off. The Company specializes in non-volatile memory, especially Flash Memory and ROM (read-only memory).

Flash Memory can be read and written repeatedly, and is widely used in consumer electronics, communications, information, mobile phones, automotive, smart medical devices and industrial fields. The Company is the world's leading supplier of NOR Flash and SLC NAND Flash. It has the advantages of sound finance, stable supply, a 12-inch wafer lab, and production capacity. It will grow with the development of emerging applications in the future.

The special feature of ROM is that the data cannot be modified after storage. The main advantage is large storage capacity with low cost. Its application focuses on electronic gaming cards, electronic toys, and game consoles. The industry has become application-oriented. The Company has long been ranked as the largest ROM supplier in the world, with more than half of the market share.

With proactive action to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability, the Company could comply with requirements of the competent authorities and related regulations and ensure the normal operation of the Company’s business.

2.Information Security Management Organization and Its Responsibilities

The Company appointed a chief information security officer in accordance with the” Regulations Governing the Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies” to strengthen the information security administration and information protection. Furthermore, to implement our information security policies and ensure the purposes of information security management could be achieved, we established the Information Security Committee led by the Chief Information Security Officer and the highest-level management from all divisions and business units serving as representatives. In addition, we formed the Information Security Core Team and the Information Security Task Force to implement related affairs.

The Information Security Committee convenes annually on a regular basis, covering a wide range of topics, including information security policy, management, review and improvement, annual budget, work plans, and results reports.

4. Specific Objectives for Information Security Management

Furthermore, to enhance employees' information security awareness and ensure they fulfill their responsibility in maintaining the Company’s information security, the Company actively conducts awareness classes to remind employees to comply with its information security management regulations. Through conducting social engineering exercises, publishing information security e-newsletters in both Chinese and English, and organizing awareness meetings of the Information Security Task Force, etc., the Company raises awareness about the regulations concerning trade secrets and other intellectual property rights, confidential information, personal data protection, and shares real-world cases of virus prevention, hacking defense, and fraud prevention to strengthen employees' information security defense awareness. To ensure that business partners are also aware of the Company’s information security management regulations, suppliers and contractors must acknowledge and agree to comply with the information security protection clauses of the Code of Conducts Compliance Certificate, before collaborating with the Company. Additionally, external personnel must complete information security classes and pass an assessment before entering the Company.

Moreover, to stop various information security threats and protect corporate information assets, the Company continues to strengthen its information security defense and data protection networks. Account permission control mechanisms are implemented based on employees' job roles for the use of computers, IT equipment, and network resources. Additionally, data loss prevention systems, data encryption, and document management tools are utilized to ensure that data creation, modification, transmission, storage, and deletion are all properly managed, maintaining confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

To prevent and mitigate damage caused by hacker attacks, the Company also has implemented relevant protective measures, e.g. firewalls and intrusion prevention systems. Additionally, all incoming devices are strictly required to undergo antivirus scanning to prevent malware from entering the Company’s systems. Network segmentation controls are in place to prevent the cross-zone spread of computer viruses. Endpoint anti-virus and anti-hacking measures have been deployed, with real-time monitoring and anomaly resolution facilitated by the Security Operations Center (SOC) and the intelligent information security reporting system. Furthermore, critical systems have redundancy structures and data backup mechanisms. Each year, business units are invited to participate in information security incident response and disaster recovery drills to ensure corporate resilience.

To enhance the standard of supply chain information security protection and mitigate supply chain information security risks—preventing potential impact on the Company’s operations due to supplier information security incidents—the Information Security Core Team annually dispatches personnel to conduct supplier information security audits and tracks corrective actions for deficiencies.

To assess the strength of the Company’s information security systems, the Company adopted third-party information security assessment tools such as Security Scorecard and SEMI's information security risk rating services to monitor vulnerabilities. Additionally, regular vulnerability scans of critical IT equipment are performed, and red team penetration testing by ethical hackers along with external information security audits are conducted. To ensure the effectiveness of information security management measures, the Information Security Core Team reviews the implementation results of relevant operations every week.

5. Achievements of the Promotion of Information Security

In 2024, the Company has implemented multiple information security strengthening initiatives. In addition to successfully completing the ISO 27001:2022 transition certification for information security management systems, third-party information security assessment tools Security Scorecard and Panorays both rated the Company above 96 points, exceeding the global manufacturing industry average.

VI. Analysis of Risk Management in the Most Recent Fiscal Year and Up to the Printing Date of this Annual Report

  • (I) Effects of Changes in Interest Rates, Foreign Exchange Rates and Inflation on Corporate Finance, and Future Response Measures

1. Interest rate

Major central banks have maintained their rate-cutting cycles. Considering both domestic and international economic conditions, the global inflation is expected to decline further in 2025, with inflation rates continuing to decline. Although Taiwan's central bank decided to keep its policy rates unchanged during the joint board of directors and supervisors meeting on December 19, 2024, there are still numerous uncertainties ahead.

The Company regularly assesses the changes in bank loan rates. Moreover, it negotiates with banks to secure financing credits with more favorable interest rates through project loans, the aim of which is to reduce the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the Company’s overall operations.

2. Foreign exchange rate

As more than 90% of the Company’s revenue is denominated in US dollars or Japanese yen, and about 30% of operating expenses as well as 60% of capital expenditure are paid in US dollars or Japanese yen, exchange rate fluctuations in New Taiwan dollar against the US dollar and Japanese yen naturally have an impact on the Company’s financial position. However, to mitigate risks, the Company continues to implement natural hedging for its foreign currency positions and adopts hedging measures such as selling US dollars (or Japanese yen) or pre-selling forward foreign exchange contracts, aiming to reduce the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the Company. In 2024, the US dollar appreciated against New Taiwan dollar from 30.705 at the beginning of the year to 32.785. The Japanese yen depreciated against the New Taiwan dollar from 0.2172 at the beginning of the year to 0.2099. The Company’s net profit on foreign exchange in 2024 was NT$139,111 thousand.

3. Inflation

Since 2024, domestic inflation has generally maintained a gradual downward trend. Looking ahead to 2025, global trade volume is expected to grow steadily, coupled with continued strong demand for AI and cloud applications. Taiwan's central bank forecasts an economic growth rate of 3.13% for this year (2025). In terms of prices, weather factors in the second half of 2024 have kept fruit and vegetable prices at high levels, leading to short-term inflation volatility. Looking ahead to next year, minimum wages and salaries for military personnel, public servants, and teachers will be raised. Moreover, international oil prices are expected to decline, and the domestic service sector's price increases are likely to ease gradually, with the inflation rate forecasted to decrease to 1.89% for this year (2025). To mitigate the impact of inflation, the Company plans to strengthen long-term cooperation agreements and inventory management. Additionally, it will continue identifying more competitive qualified suppliers while optimizing cost reduction and enhancing the added value of products to address these challenges.

The Company has fabs and focuses on GHG reduction items. Preliminary plans and implementation results include: (1) Increasing the percentage of

  • 120 -

green electricity (2) Smart energy conservation and monitoring (3) Replacing old equipment with new ones and a year-by-year budget allocation.

Information security and intellectual property protection are important items of operational risk, and the information security concept of the new generation is “the right people have the right access rights on the right devices for limited and secure access, which is continuously monitored and analyzed.” The Company uses digital automated management technologies to replace the manual management method, and has established a strict modernized information security management system to ensure that business operations are not interrupted and to protect intellectual property rights, effectively lowering operational risk.

In recent years, the ever-innovating technology applications, such as mobile devices and the Internet, has greatly improved convenience and efficiency for individuals and corporations but also created potential threats of information security for corporations. Once a major information security incident occurs, the Company’s information assets will be under internal, external, intentional, or accidental threats and damage, which could harm the confidentiality, usability, and integrity of the Company’s confidential information. In addition, it will damage the Company’s competitiveness, sales and operations, and even further affect the Company’s financial results, image, and reputation.

In order to lower the probability of information security incidents, manage risks caused by incidents to an acceptable level, and thus ensure the normal operations of the Company, the Company established internal control system standards in accordance with the Regulations Governing Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies, and, in compliance with the request of the competent authority, appointed a chief information security officer to strengthen its information security and information protection. The Company also has an Information Security Committee, Information Security Core Team, and Information Security Task Force to implement its information security policy.

Moreover, the Company employs a variety of information security mechanisms and system architecture designs to block the ever-changing information security threats. The related measures include establishing appropriate safety control mechanisms for the use of computers, regulatory information devices, and network resources, and classification, labeling, and external delivery control of confidential information. Also, in order to prevent malicious software attacks and reduce the accompanied damage, the Company has established enhancement mechanisms and backup systems.

Even though the Company has established the comprehensive network and computer protection measures to ensure information security, it is still under the potential risks of being affected by information security threats and cyberattacks. As a result, the Company has established the information security incidents reporting and handling procedures to respond with immediate action. In addition, the Company has bought information security insurance to reduce resulting damage and impact. The Company has launched annual educational training, and social engineering exercises, and information security e-newsletters to strengthen the information security awareness and training. Additionally, relevant information security requirements were extended to suppliers, ensuring that all employees and business partners jointly protect the Company’s information security.

(VI) Impact of Corporate Image Change on Risk Management and Response Measures:

The Company is determined to uphold the business philosophy of honesty. By adhering to such major values, as innovation, quality, efficiency, service, and teamwork, we have established and implemented corporate governance and risk management mechanisms to create the business environment for sustainable development. To effectively prevent and control risks and meet expectations of competent authorities, customers, investors and related parties, the Company is committed to implementing the risk management in such areas as operational, financial, legal compliance, information security and climate change. This way the Company fulfills its social responsibilities and ensures the Company’s international competitiveness and sustainable operation.
