Business Report
In 2018, growth of the global economy had weakened. Although new consumer electronics were still being introduced to the market and emerging technologies were being applied on a larger scale, uncertainties associated with the ongoing trade war between USA and China caused demands to weaken on a global scale, which undermined the performance of the global manufacturing industry. For an economy that is highly dependent upon export, Taiwan's electronics manufacturing sector has suffered greatly as a result.
Amidst the challenging environment, PRIMAX has adhered to its existing strategy of stability and directed focus towards maintaining revenue growth and optimizing its product portfolio. With regards to business activities, increasing popularity and evolution of smart speakers in product technology and features have contributed significantly to Tymphany's revenues and profits. As for auto electronics, one of our long-established product lines, PRIMAX received certification from major international auto maker in 2018, beginning shipment of multi-lens automobile camera modules and contributing revenues during the year. This certification and shipment represents PRIMAX's successful entry into the field of intelligent drive. With regards to PC peripherals, the gaming market continued to exhibit growth in 2018, an advantage that PRIMAX has capitalized on by collaborating with top gaming brands to introduce newer products into the market. Today, gaming business continues to drive transformations of the PC peripherals sector, aside from its significant revenue and profit contributions.
In terms of manufacturing technology, PRIMAX remains committed to its highest standard for product quality and yields. Meanwhile, the organization is actively adopting the concept of Industry 4.0 and has initiated a series of transformation and improvements to the manufacturing process as well as R&D capacity to further enhance its competitive advantage, thereby preparing the organization for the next stage of growth.
The following is an overview of the Company's 2018 performance.
I. 2018 Financial Performance
(I) Financial Results
The Company generated NT$64,811,408 thousand of consolidated net revenues worldwide in 2018, representing a 6.7% growth over the NT$60,741,692 thousand in 2017. Consolidated net income totaled NT$1,913,975 thousand in 2018, representing an 11.8% decline compared to the NT$2,168,981 thousand in 2017.

(IV) R&D Investments
The Company spent NT$2,664,477 thousand on research and development expenses in 2018 as a means to enhance its R&D capacity and competitive advantage. This investment was spent on the development and design of new products/technologies and improvement of the production process.
II. Business Strategy and Technology Developments
In 2019, PRIMAX will continue focusing its business development efforts in areas that it possesses a technological advantage, and strive to increase the market share of new products while at the same time exploring application and transformation opportunities for existing products. Non-PC peripheral have emerged to become a key revenue and profit contributor to the Company in recent years, for which PRIMAX will aim to increase its share in the ODM market and continuously expand the scope of products manufactured in the coming year. Demands for acoustic products such as smart speakers and wireless headphones are expected to grow in 2019, a trend that the Company plans to take advantage of by collaborating more closely with customers on product design and adoption of new technologies.
Year 2018 marked PRIMAX's successful entry into the field of auto electronics, and the Company plans to build on top of this success in 2019 by growing its shipment of automobile camera modules in terms of volume, quality and market share. In addition, PRIMAX will actively explore new customers and make auto electronics the third pillar of its business operations. Technologies including cloud computing, mobile device, digital home and IoT have gradually matured, therefore the Company will shift its camera module development focus towards the integration of multi-lens, AI and intelligent image processing for broader applications.
In the PC peripheral segment, revenues and profits from gaming products continued to exhibit significant growth in 2018, and is gradually becoming a dominant force that drives the transformation of PC peripheral. Demands in the gaming market should remain active throughout 2019, and the Company's long-established technology and design capacity will enable it to meet new market trends and customers' needs. By actively assisting customers with their product development, we expect to inspire new revenue growth from this particular business segment.
In terms of production management, the Company will be making progressive upgrades to its production capacity in 2019 to realize its vision of intelligent manufacturing and Industry 4.0. Starting with the adoption of automated production process and new information technology for communications, PRIMAX expects to reduce production cost, increase yield and optimize utilization of production capacity.
The global economy should remain susceptible to the impacts of the US-China trade war, geopolitics and protectionism in the coming year, which the Company plans to respond by focusing on Asia as the world's fastest growing market and the dominant supply chain, and adopt a global manufacturing philosophy inspired by Industry 4.0.
