NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024 AND 2023 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Macronix International Co., Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated in the Republic of China (ROC) on December 9, 1989 and commenced business in December 1989. The Company operates principally as a designer, manufacturer and supplier of integrated circuits (ICs) and memory chips. The Company also is engaged in the design, research and development, consultation and trade of relevant products.

The Company's shares have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) since March 15, 1995.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in the Company's functional currency, the New Taiwan dollar.

2. APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issued by the Company's board of directors on April 30, 2024.

3. APPLICATION OF NEW, AMENDED AND REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

a. Initial application of the amendments to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) (collectively, the "IFRS Accounting Standards") endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC)

The initial application of the IFRS Accounting Standards endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC did not have a material impact on the Group's accounting policies.

b. The IFRS Accounting Standards in issue but not yet endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC

New, Amended and Revised Standards and Interpretations Effective Date

Note 1: Unless stated otherwise, the above IFRS Accounting Standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.

Note 2: An entity shall apply those amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025. Upon initial application of the amendments to IAS 21, the Group shall not restate the comparative information and shall recognize any effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings or, if applicable, to the cumulative amount of translation differences in equity as well as affected assets or liabilities.

As of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the possible impact of the application of other standards and interpretations on the Group's financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

a. Statement of compliance

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC. Disclosure information included in these interim consolidated financial statements is less than the disclosure information required in a complete set of annual consolidated financial statements.

b. Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value and defined benefit liabilities.

The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:

  • 1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  • 2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
  • 3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
  • c. Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (i.e., its subsidiaries).

Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective dates of acquisitions up to the effective dates of disposals, as appropriate.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Changes in the Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the interests of the Group and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost and (ii) the assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities and any non-controlling interests of the former subsidiary at their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost. The Group accounts for all amounts recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required had the Group directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

See Note 12, Tables 5 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements for detailed information on subsidiaries (including the percentages of ownership and main businesses).

d. Other material accounting policies

Except for the following, the accounting policies applied in these consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. For the summary of other significant accounting policies, refer to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

1) Retirement benefits

Pension cost for an interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the actuarially determined pension cost rate at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant plan amendments, settlements, or other significant one-off events.

2) Income tax expense

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Interim period income taxes are assessed on an annual basis and calculated by applying to an interim period's pre-tax income the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

5. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

The same critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty have been followed in these consolidated financial statements as were applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for medium- to long-term strategic purposes. Accordingly, the management elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as they believe that recognizing short-term fluctuations in these investments' fair value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Group's strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes.

The Group sold its ordinary shares in Genovior Biotech Corporation at a fair value of \$150,328 thousand on March, 2024. The related realized gain of financial assets at FVTOCI of \$66,322 thousand under other equity was transferred to retained earnings.

a. Trade receivables

The average credit period for sales of goods is 60 days.

In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Group evaluates each customer's credibility and financial position and considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable since the date credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting period.

The Group measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix approach considering the past default experience with the respective debtors and an analysis of the debtors' current financial positions, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecasted direction of conditions at the reporting date. The Group estimates expected credit losses based on the number of days for which receivables are past due. As the Group's historical credit loss experience shows significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for losses based on past due status of receivables is not further distinguished according to different segments of the Group's customer base.

The aging of trade receivables was as follows:

\$
3,010,473
\$
2,561,602
\$
3,036,472

The above aging schedule was based on the past due days from the end of the credit term.

As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Group did not hold collateral for most of its receivables.

The movements of the allowance for doubtful trade receivables are as follows:

b. Other receivables

No allowance for impairment loss of other receivables was recognized since the other receivables of the Group were not past due and the Group assessed that there was no uncertainty of recoverability.

(Concluded)

To purchase equipment or machinery, the Group has entered into a 5-year syndicated loan agreement with 9 financial institutions including the Taiwan Cooperative Bank in January 2019 with a total amount of NT\$8 billion, which was repaid in advance in August 2023. The Group provided notes used as refundable guarantees for syndicated loan mentioned above that will be cancelled upon termination of the guarantee.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs implemented the "Action Plan for Welcoming Overseas Taiwanese Businesses to Return to Invest in Taiwan" on January 1, 2019, which provided enterprises to make compliant investments with financial institutions at preferential interest rates. The Group has obtained the approval of the Ministry of Economic Affairs to qualify for the project loan and signed a loan contract with a financial institution to obtain a financing line of NT\$21 billion, with a credit period of 7 to 10 years. The funds obtained are used for factory expansion, purchased machinery and equipment, buildings and operating turnover, etc. The details of government grants are set out in Note 30 to the consolidated financial statements.

In addition, the Group's floating borrowing rate on the above borrowing is reset every one to three months.

The loan agreement requires the maintenance of a current ratio, debt ratio, and interest coverage ratio based on the Group's semi-annual and annual consolidated financial statements. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Group met the financial ratio covenants.

The details of assets pledged as collateral for long-term loans are set in Note 34 to the consolidated financial statements.

  • 1) Such capital surplus may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Company has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to share capital (limited to a certain percentage of the Company's paid-in capital and once a year).
  • 2) Such capital surplus arises from changes in capital surplus of subsidiaries accounted for by using the equity method.
  • c. Retained earnings and dividends policy

The Company's Articles of Incorporation state that where the Company made profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years, setting aside a legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit (until the amount of the legal reserve equals the amount of the Company's paid-in capital), setting aside or reversing a special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be used by the Company's board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved by the shareholders in their meeting for the distribution of dividends and bonuses to shareholders. Regarding the policies on the distribution of employees' compensation and remuneration of directors stated in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, refer to "Employees' compensation and remuneration of directors" in Note 26 (g) to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company is classified under the capital-intensive industry. In accordance with the long-term financial program of the Company, the above shareholders' dividends can be retained as undistributed earnings, and then be distributed in future, as determined by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

Distributions shall be prioritized to take the form of cash dividends. Nevertheless, it still depends on the Company's financial, sales or operating conditions. The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that no more than 50% of the current year's total amount of distributable earnings can be distributed in the form of share dividends.

The appropriation of earnings to a legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company's paid-in capital. The legal reserve may be used to offset any deficit. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company's paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

The appropriations of earnings for 2023 and 2022, which were proposed by the Company's board of directors on February 27, 2024 and resolved by the shareholders in the Company's general meeting of shareholders on May 24, 2023, respectively, were as follows:

The Group manages its capital to ensure that the Group will be able to operate under the premises of going concerns and growth while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.

The Group's strategy for managing the capital structure is to lay out the plan of product development and expand the market share considering the growth and the magnitude of industry and further developing an integral plan founded on the required capacity, capital outlay, and magnitude of assets in long-term development. Ultimately, considering the risk factors such as the fluctuation of the industry cycle and the life cycle of products, the Group determines the optimal capital structure by estimating the profitability of products, operating profit ratio, and cash flow based on the competitiveness of products.

The management of the Group periodically examines the capital structure and contemplates on the potential costs and risks involved while exerting different financial tools. In general, the Group implements prudent strategy of risk management.

  • d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group manages its exposure to risks relating to the operations through market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk with the objective to reduce the potentially adverse effects the market uncertainties may have on its financial performance.

The plans for material treasury activities are reviewed by management in accordance with procedures required by relevant regulations or internal controls. During the implementation of such plans, the Group must comply with certain treasury procedures that provide guiding principles for overall financial risk management.

1) Market risk

The Group's activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (a) below), interest rates (see (b) below), and other price risk (see (c) below).

a) Foreign currency risk

The Group had foreign currency sales and purchases, which exposed the Group to foreign currency risk. Exchange rate exposures were managed within approved policy parameters utilizing forward foreign exchange contracts.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group was mainly exposed to the USD and JPY.

The sensitivity analysis of foreign currency risk focuses mainly on exchange rates for transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (i.e., foreign currencies) which are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of each reporting period.

The following table details the Group's sensitivity to a 3% and 10% increase in New Taiwan dollars (i.e., the functional currency) against the USD and JPY, respectively. The sensitivity rates used are 3% and 10% when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel.

Pre-tax profit decrease \$
44,170
\$
92,718
\$
116,288
\$
18,165

b) Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk from outstanding bank loans. Interest rates of the Group's long-term bank loans are floating, and changes in interest rates would affect the future cash flows but not the fair value.

The sensitivity analysis of interest is performed based on the financial liabilities exposed to cash flow interest rate risk at the end of each reporting period.

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower, the Group's pre-tax loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 would have increased/decreased by \$26,233 thousand and \$17,644 thousand, respectively.

c) Other price risk

The Group was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in equity securities. Equity investments are held for strategic rather than trading purposes. The Group does not actively trade these investments.

Sensitive analysis

A sensitivity analysis of equity price is performed based on the fair values of equity investments at the end of each reporting period.

If equity prices had been 10% higher/lower, equity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 would have increased/decreased by \$432,452 thousand and \$351,802 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale investments.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group's exposure to credit risk mainly arises from trade receivables - operating, bank deposits, and other financial instruments. Credit risk is managed separately for business related and financial related exposures.

Business related credit risk

In order to maintain the credit quality of trade receivables, the Group has established procedures to monitor and limit exposure to credit risk on trade receivables.

Credit evaluation is performed in the consideration of the relevant factors, such as financial condition, external and internal credit scoring, historical experience, and economic conditions, which may affect the customer's paying ability. The Group holds some of the credit enhancements such as prepayments and collateral to mitigate its credit risks.

Trade receivables consisted of a large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of trade receivables and, where appropriate, credit guarantee insurance cover is purchased.

As of March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Group's ten largest customers accounted for 37%, 40% and 51% of its total trade receivables (including receivables from related parties), respectively. The Group believed that the concentration of credit risk is relatively insignificant for the remaining trade receivables.

Financial credit risk

The Group's exposure to financial credit risk which pertained to bank deposits and other financial instruments were evaluated and monitored by Corporate Treasury function. The Group only deals with creditworthy counterparties and banks so that no significant credit risk was identified.

3) Liquidity risk

The objective of liquidity risk management is to ensure the Group has sufficient liquidity to fund its business requirements of cash and cash equivalents and the unused of financing facilities associated with existing operations.

The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Group's financial liabilities based on contractual, undiscounted payments, including principal and estimated interest of interest bearing.

39. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Information reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and the assessment of segment performance emphasizes the types of goods or services delivered or provided. Considering the nature of the product and the process of manufacture, the management integrated those divisions of similar operation functions into one operation segment. The resource allocation and performance of the Group's overall business focus on the memory products and wafer fabrication segment, so the Group only takes the memory products and wafer fabrication segment as the reportable segment.

There was no material difference between the accounting policies of the Group reportable segment and those described in Note 4. For the revenue and operating results of the segment, refer to the consolidated financial statements.
