NANYA TECHNOLOGY CORP. Business Report for 2015

Year 2015 Financial Performance

Due to global economy weakness, DRAM market was slowing down and ASP (average selling price) continued to decline from Q2’15. We optimized product portfolio for premium DRAM in specialty market to maintain stable profitability. NTC reported consolidated revenue of NT$43.87 billion in 2015. Net income was NT$17.13 billion, EPS NT$7.07.

In 2015, NTC further enhanced production efficiency to reduce manufacturing cost for improving competitiveness. Monthly wafer output increased from 56 thousand in January to 60 thousand in December. 30nm design shrink also exceeded 50% output in Q4’15.

As a key supplier in specialty DRAM market, NTC established strategic alliance relationships with customers and controller suppliers by offering excellent customer service for the launch of next-generation consumer electronic products collaboratively. In product development area, we strengthened low power product design and related engineering capabilities. To fulfill the needs from mobile customers, we developed multi-chip –package solutions. By seamless cross-department cooperation, we demonstrated successful penetrations in premium market segments including automotive, industrial, networking,

SiP(System-in-Package) and customized products.

Year 2016 Business Outlook

The focus areas of operation for 2016 are to deeply-root in specialty market and customized product to increase wafer value, improve production efficiency to reinforce cost effectiveness and

  • 8 -

20nm technology conversion. Major tasks include:

  1. Continuously concentrate on consumer & low power markets, develop customized products for diversification and increase market share in specialty DRAM field. Greater than 85% of total revenue from consumer & low power markets is our target.

  2. Continuously drive manufacturing cost reduction through improving the production efficiency of front- end and back-end processes. 30nm design shrink product will surpass 70% of total output in 2016. Annual bit output growth is expected to reach 10%.

  3. To enable 20nm technology conversion, the new facility will be equipped with advanced tools in Q4’16. The development of next-generation DRAM products including DDR4/LPDDR4 is at full pace to provide full product lineup for fulfilling the requirements from new-generation consumer electronic products.

Future Development Strategy

NTC has entered into agreements with Micron Technology in December 2015 to support Micron Semiconductor Taiwan Corp. to acquire Inotera memories Inc. as a solely owned subsidiary of Micron Taiwan for NT$ 30 per share through Share Swap Transaction, invest up to NT$ 31.5 billion to acquire Micron’s private placement shares and have option rights to license its 1x and 1y DRAM technology nodes. The acquisition deal has been approved by Inotera’s shareholders and is still subject to certain conditions, including governmental approvals. NTC and Micron have entered into a new era of strategic alliance relationships. By becoming one of its major share ownerships in Micron, and entering cooperation in future technology nodes, will create

  • 9 -

Win-Win situation for both NTC and Micron. The deployment will further strengthen NTC’s position as a key supplier in specialty DRAM market.

DRAM market will still encounter headwind in 2016. In supply side, top 3 suppliers continue to ramp the production of advanced 20nm and 1xnm technology nodes and new capacity will come online. According to the forecast by market intelligence, 2016 worldwide bit growth rate will be higher than 2015. DRAM industry consolidation resulted in more disciplined supply growth. In consideration of profitability, the total supply growth is expected to be rational.

The demand side growth rate is projected at the same level as 2015 due to the uncertainty of global economy outlook and the stalled momentum of smart phone and tablet markets. Positively, 2016 Summer Olympics will energize DRAM demand from consumer electronic devices like high-resolution DTV, set-top-box.

We appreciate the continuous support by all of our shareholders. We will make the best effort to deliver great operation performance and increase the company’s value to maximize returns to our shareholders.
