MediaTek Inc. 2021 Business Report
Dear Shareholders:
2021 was a year full of both opportunities and challenges for global semiconductor industry. The acceleration of digital transformation has driven strong demand in various markets, leading to supply pressures in the global semiconductor supply chain. With the joint efforts from all MediaTek employees around the world, we have reached a new milestone in 2021 with record high consolidated revenue and EPS. Our consolidated revenue reached NT$493.1 billion, with EPS more than doubled to NT$70.56. MediaTek is the 4th largest IC design company and the 7th largest semiconductor company globally, according to market research firms - Topology Research Institute and Gartner Research. Besides, MediaTek’s gross margin and operating margin increased for the 4th consecutive year, with gross margin rising over 11 percentage points from 35.6% in 2017 to 46.9% in 2021, and operating margin expanding over 17 percentage points from 4.1% in 2017 to 21.9% in 2021.
MediaTek continues balanced development in various products, including smartphones, smart edge platforms and power management ICs with strong growth across the board in 2021. We believe our positive developments in financial and businesses were resulting from the successful execution of the strategy to invest early in 5G and WiFi 6, allowing us to participate in the full product cycle. And with excellent technology competitiveness, we were able to expand our markets and provided more value to the customers.
In terms of smartphone, MediaTek is ranked 1st in 2021 in global smartphone SoC market share, according to Counterpoint, a market research firm. We capture the 5G upgrade opportunity through our complete product portfolio, with exciting expansion into the flagship market. Our first 5G flagship SoC, Dimensity 9000, was highly recognized by the market with its powerful CPU and leading power consumption performance, according to major benchmark indicators, and has had design-ins with multiple brands.
As for smart edge platforms, WiFi 6, WiFi 6E, 5G and Bluetooth 5.0 are still in the beginning of technology migration. With consumers’ rising demand for multimedia, MediaTek has driven technology upgrades in smart TV, router, broadband application, tablet, laptop and IoT devices, and will continue to expand markets and gain market share through our strong product portfolio, with multiple years of growth opportunities ahead. In terms of power IC, the structural demand growth driven by accelerating technology upgrades should be able to sustain. MediaTek provides power management IC solutions across computing, communication, consumer, automotive and industrial fields, with automotive and industrial together accounting for nearly 10% of power IC revenue, demonstrating rapid growth.
Looking forward, MediaTek plays a crucial and complementary role under the cloud computing trend, with enabling over 2 billion smart edge devices every year to enrich users’ cloud connection experiences. MediaTek possesses key technologies and development capabilities for smart edge platforms, such as high-performance and low-power-consumption CPU, GPU and APU, as well as complete and leading-edge long/short range wireless and wired product portfolio, including 5G, WiFi 6/7, Bluetooth and GPON. Moreover, the camera, image, audio IPs developed with MediaTek’s exceptional edge AI technologies have provided highly differentiated values to our customers.

Power IC’s broad-based applications not only create values for MediaTek’s various products but bring solid revenue momentum.
We continue to relentlessly invest in the technologies that drive our future growth, extending our core development capabilities to the higher-end computing, high-performance/low-powerconsumption graphic IPs, 5G modems that provide low-latency and for broader applications, and next generation WiFi. We have integrated them into the leading-edge system architecture by different platforms and ecosystems. We also work with foundry partners on advanced process nodes as well as 3D chiplets technology to support our product development.
With strong business fundamentals, we are confident in sustaining a strong cash flow going forward. Last April, we raised our cash dividend payout ratio to 80% to 85% on regular basis and launched a 4-year special cash dividend program of NT$16 per share per year, to share our performances with shareholders.
Furthermore, MediaTek promotes sustainability developments in various aspects to fulfill stakeholders’ expectation as a sustainable company. We started with “global reach, local presence” and for many years has propelled talent cultivation programs in schools, promoted society innovation, held “Genius for Home - MediaTek Digital Social Innovation Campaign”, and devoted to the dissemination of technology education and innovation. MediaTek also responds to the carbon reduction target of the Government and COP26, with devotion to promote green innovation with front-end technology development, to conform to the power saving, carbon reduction and environmental protection trend. Furthermore, we hold Supplier Forums every year to execute various greenhouse gas reduction campaigns to exercise our influence at the top of the supply chain.
MediaTek is well recognized in the role of corporate citizen to fulfill corporate social responsibilities and was awarded Excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility - Corporate Citizen Award and the Most Prestigious Sustainability Awards - Top Ten Domestic Corporates, the best performance we had achieved. We were selected for the 7th consecutive year as part of “Taiwan Top 10 Global Brands” and was the only Taiwanese semiconductor company selected. Also, for the 18th consecutive year, we were the only Taiwanese company with papers selected and published by ISSCC, the Olympic of IC design industry.
To conclude, MediaTek will continue to invest in key technologies and thrive to become a trustworthy as well as reliable partners to our customers as we become more relevant in the industry.
