Business Report

Two years since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global economy in 2021 is marred with uncertainties, leading to uneven economic growth across countries. However, with COVID-19 gradually coming to an end, post-pandemic consumption has been characterized by a desire to splurge and indulge, fueling a strong increase in demand that eventually led to prolonged component shortages worldwide. The unprecedented disruption of global supply chain combined with excess liquidity from central banks around the world resulted in rising prices and costs. Today, inflation has emerged to become a critical challenge that affects all businesses in the world.

Thanks to operational resilience and a visionary approach of constantly investing in new technologies and products, Primax Electronics (“PRIMAX” or “the Company”) quickly recovered from the pandemic. Precautionary measures were also taken to diversify and secure key component supplies. To further mitigate risks, efforts were made to diversify production sites and supply chain, so that the organization may better adapt to a growing trend of spread out global production in the post-pandemic era.

With regards to business operations and financial performance, PRIMAX once again achieved revenue growth in 2021 and delivered record-high earnings. For its visual technology, PRIMAX has successfully grown the business through sequential revenue growth from automotive electronics, especially from increased shipment of camera modules to leading electric vehicle manufacturers while deepening cooperation with customers on product development. Revenue and profit contributions from police cameras rebounded thanks to a gradual ease of component shortages in 2021, while progress has also been made in expanding into new businesses such as fitness equipment and smart door lock. Over the past year, PRIMAX’s subsidiary TYMPHANY, has been focusing on professional audio and high-end consumer products, as well as video and conferencing solutions. TYMPHANY’s focus on new businesses will pave way for growth in the upcoming years, as mass production of these new products will translate to future revenue and profit growth for the Group. In addition, benefiting from a growing trend of hybrid work, demand for PC and NB peripherals, optoelectronics, and multi-function printers remained strong throughout 2021.

With respect to production, PRIMAX’s Thailand plant achieved higher production and shipment capacity in 2021. The construction of PRIMAX’s Thailand plant has been completed by 2021 year-end, and the new plant will be an integral part of the Company’s future success as it increases production capacity.

The following is an overview of the Company's 2021 performance.

I. 2021 business operation performance

(I) Overview of financial results in 2021

The Company generated worldwide consolidated net revenues of NT$71,649,849 thousand in 2021, representing a 5.0% growth over the NT$68,240,939 thousand in 2020.

II. 2022 business plans and business development strategies

The technology enhancement projects will ensure PRIMAX maintains its leadership for core technology products, while at the same time strengthen the Company’s system integration capabilities and ability to develop higher value-add products for its customers.

Through its unique and visionary Three-Senses-In-One (vision, audio and interface) strategy, PRIMAX will continue to provide high quality and value-add products to its customers. Looking forward, PRIMAX expects automotive electronics, Internet of Things, and smart home solutions to be the key post-pandemic technology trends and the next leg of revenue and profit growth for the Company. For visual technology, PRIMAX is actively exploring new applications for its camera module with emphasis on car ADAS, biometrics, fitness equipment, content creation, and augmented and virtual reality. For audio, TYMPHANY will continue its focus on professional audio and high-end consumer solutions, while new products such as video conferencing and car audio will further boost revenue and profit growth. TYMPHANY’s investments into next generation technologies would enhance its product development and integrated solutions ability, and expand its lead over competitors. As for its interface business, PRIMAX’s focus will be smart home related products such as door lock and surveillance and security related products.
