PRIMAX 4Q 2021 OUTLOOK

Sales Outlook Interface & Biz Equipment Primax Interface growth will anticipates maintain at double digit YoY. double-digit Primax expects new business Primax Sales Outlook QoQ revenue product contributions to rise growth in 4Q. in 2H21. Thanks to peak season, our audio orders will see strong Demand for printers and T MFP will continue to enjoy uptick if our component high YoY growth in 4Q21. supply issues can ease off timely.

Visual Technology

Police body cam growth rate will revitalize in 2H21, shaking off the slow start in 1H21.

ADAS camera demand would sustain at reasonable growth rate, while smartphone camera module revenue and mix would decrease.

Audio

Consumer speakers and smart speakers will be the key growth drivers.

Should component shortages ease off in 4Q21, audio revenue could grow more robustly QoQ due to pent-up demand from 3Q21.

==> picture [40 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

Primax Profit Outlook

Gross margin expected to see QoQ decline due to rising consumer audio mix, but operating margin likely maintain >= 3Q21’s level

==> picture [34 x 84] intentionally omitted <==

Interface / Biz Equip The combined interface / business equipment profit will show strong YoY growth thanks to better margins and the strong recovery of the printer business.

Visual

Profit growth in 4Q21 would come mainly from an increase of car ADAS contributions.

Audio

Due to the rise of consumer audio and smart speaker product mix, 4Q21 audio gross margin would be a bit lower than 3Q21, but will still be 2-3 ppt higher than 4Q20 as we have already diverted away from most low-margin products.

PRIMAX 2021 STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

Primax Targets & Strategy

Deepen 3 senses In 1 strategy

Continue to expand new smart devices to inject growth momentum, increase high value-add new products to the mix each year, such as AIoT and Smart Access products.

Profit growth over revenue growth

Due to a continuous effort of optimizing our product and customer mix, gross margin and operating margin would likely see an improvement in the future. Primax is now adopting a profit over revenue growth strategy to optimize profitability and shareholders’ return.

==> picture [49 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [48 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [49 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

Intelligence Interface Segment

PC and gaming peripheral demand remain robust thanks to WFH (work from home). High growth is also expected from new businesses such as smart homes, docking, and wireless charging.

Visual Technology Segment

EV and ADAS demand would likely show strong growth in the coming years thanks to an US-based customer. Primax also aims to increase margins on its nonsmartphone camera module mix.

Audio Segment

Growth would mainly come from consumer audio and video conference demands, coupled with new projects kick-off, Primax’s audio profitability should improve significantly on a YoY basis.

Increase High Value-Add Products

Primax’s strategy of gradually increasing commercial and industrial contribution from AIoT (ie. fleet management and law enforcement body camera) and smart home (smart locks and smart doorbell), should be growth drivers in the future.

Diversifying Capacity
