INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three months then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.
Scope of Review
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Standards on Review Engagements of the Republic of China 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that caused us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

The engagement partners on the reviews resulting in this independent auditors’ review report are Ming Yuan Chung and Mei-Chen Tsai.

-
The Group shall use operating profit or loss as the starting point when presenting cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method.

Interest and dividends received by the Group shall be classified as investing activities, while interest and dividends paid shall be classified as financing activities. However, if, after assessment, the Group has a specific main operating activity, it shall determine how to classify dividends received, interest received and interest paid in the statement of cash flows by referring to how it classifies dividend income, interest income and interest expense in the statement of profit or loss. The total of each of these cash flows shall be classified in a single category in the statement of cash flows.
As of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company is continuously assessing the other impacts of the above amended standards and interpretations on the Company’s financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
- a. Statement of compliance
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC. Disclosure information included in these interim consolidated financial statements is less than the disclosure information required in a complete set of annual consolidated financial statements.
b. Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:
-
1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
-
3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
-
c. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of Powerchip Semiconductor and the entities controlled by Powerchip Semiconductor (i.e., its subsidiaries).
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Company.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation.
See Note 10 and Table 3 for detailed information of subsidiaries (including the percentage of ownership and main businesses).
- d. Other material accounting policies
Except for the following, please refer to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 for the material accounting policies.
- 1) Retirement benefits
Pension cost for an interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the actuarially determined pension cost rate at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant plan amendments, settlements, or other significant one-off events.
-

-
2) Income tax expense
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Interim period income taxes are assessed on an annual basis and calculated by applying to an interim period's pre-tax income the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.
5. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
The critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty followed in these consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company’s average credit period for merchandise sales is 30 to 60 days at the end of the month, and accounts receivable are not subject to interest. In order to mitigate credit risks, the management of the Company, in accordance with the Company’s relevant policies, procedures and internal controls, assigns a dedicated team to be responsible for credit granting operations and other monitoring procedures to ensure that appropriate actions have been taken for the collection of overdue accounts receivable. The management is responsible for the determination of the credit limit and the approval of the credit. In addition, the Company regularly reviews the recoverable amount of accounts receivable one by one to ensure that the accounts receivable that cannot be recovered have been properly deducted.
The Company measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs). The ECLs on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix prepared by reference to the past default records of the customer, the customer’s current financial position, economic condition of the industry in which the customer operates, as well as the GDP forecasts and industry outlook.
The Company writes off an account receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g., when the debtor has been placed under liquidation, or when the accounts receivable are past due. For accounts receivable that have been written off, the Company continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.
The following table details the loss allowance of accounts receivable based on the Company’s provision matrix:

The Company resolved, upon approval by the Board of Directors on February 10, 2026, to dispose of the Tongluo plant buildings and plant facilities (excluding production-related machinery and equipment) to Micron Memory Taiwan Co., Ltd. The transfer of ownership of the buildings was completed on March 13, 2026, and a gain on disposal of $20,130,360 thousand was recognized.
During the period from January 1 to March 31, 2026, the Company assessed that the expected future economic benefits of certain equipment with specific specifications had declined, resulting in their recoverable amounts being lower than their carrying amounts. Accordingly, the carrying amounts of such equipment were written down to their respective recoverable amounts, and an impairment loss of NT$5,496,875 thousand was recognized. The impairment loss was recognized under other gains and losses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The recoverable amounts of the equipment were determined based on fair value less costs of disposal. As the equipment does not generate identifiable independent cash inflows, and there is a lack of observable market transactions for comparable assets, management considered that the key inputs required for the income approach and the market approach could not be reliably obtained; therefore, these valuation approaches were not applied. The related fair value was measured using the cost approach, which is based on the estimated replacement cost of the equipment, adjusted for physical deterioration, technological obsolescence, and the normal economic useful life of the assets, resulting in depreciated replacement cost as the measurement basis. The fair value measurement primarily utilized unobservable inputs, including estimates of the remaining useful life and related adjustment factors, and was therefore categorized as a Level 3 fair value measurement.
The Company’s property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Buildings 21-40 years Machinery and equipment 1.5-19 years Research and development equipment 1.5-19 years Facility equipment 6-30 years Transportation equipment 6 years Office equipment 2-8 years Leasehold improvement 4-16 years Miscellaneous equipment 6 years
Refer to Notes 15 and 31 for the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment pledged by the Company as collateral for borrowings.

g. Employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors
According to the Articles of Incorporation of Powerchip Semiconductor, Powerchip Semiconductor accrued employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors at rates of no less than 5% and no higher than 3%, respectively, of net income before income tax, employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors during the period. However, accumulated losses, if any, should be offset first. In accordance with the amendment to the Securities and Exchange Act enacted in August 2024, the Company has amended its Articles of Incorporation, subject to approval at the 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, to specify that no less than 35% of the employee remuneration allocated for the year shall be allocated to non-executive employees. The estimated employee compensation (including remuneration for non-managerial employees) and directors’ remuneration for the period from January 1 to March 31, 2026 are as follows:
- 27 -
| Estimated ratio | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2026 | ||

| Remuneration of directors | $ | 37,815 |
Powerchip Semiconductor had loss before income tax for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Therefore, no employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors was accrued for the relevant period.
If there is a change in the amounts after the annual consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue, the differences are recorded as a change in the accounting estimate.
Information on the compensation of employees and remuneration of directors resolved by Powerchip Semiconductor’s Board of Directors is available at the Market Observation Post System website of the Taiwan Stock Exchange.

Since Powerchip Semiconductor can offer to settle the compensation to employees in cash or shares, Powerchip Semiconductor assumes the entire amount of the employees’ compensation would be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares will be included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earning per share, if the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares is included in the computation of diluted earning per share until the number of shares to be distributed to employees is resolved in the following year.
Powerchip Semiconductor had loss after income tax for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Therefore, the resulting potential shares of employee stock options are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share.
25. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

c. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company’s financial risk management objective is to manage market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk related to operating activities. In order to reduce related financial risks, the Company is committed to identifying, evaluating and avoiding market uncertainty in order to reduce the potential adverse effects of market changes on the Company’s financial performance.
The Company has established appropriate policies, procedures and internal controls for the aforementioned financial risk management in accordance with relevant regulations. Important financial activities must be reviewed by the Board of Directors in accordance with relevant regulations and internal control systems. The Company abides by relevant financial operating procedures.
- 34 -
1) Market risk
The Company’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (a) below), and interest rates (see (b) below).
There is no change to the Company’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.
a) Foreign currency risk
The Company had foreign currency sales and purchases, which exposed the Company to foreign currency risk. The Company applied natural hedge to manage the foreign currency risk. Furthermore, the Company entered into spot trades and forward exchange contracts to manage foreign currency risk. The purpose of the Company’s management of the foreign currency risk was to hedge against the risk instead of making a profit.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency (including those eliminated on consolidation) at the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 33.
Sensitivity analysis
The Company was mainly exposed to the USD, JPY, EUR, CNY and INR.
The following table details the Company’s sensitivity to a 1% increase and decrease in the functional currency against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items, and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 1% change in foreign currency rates. The sensitivity analysis included cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at amortized cost, accounts receivable (including related parties), other receivables, accounts payable, payables for equipment, lease liabilities, other payables and guarantee deposits. The table below shows the increase (decrease) in pre-tax profit for the period from January 1 to March 31, 2026, and the decrease (increase) in pre-tax loss for the period from January 1 to March 31, 2025, when the functional currency weakens 1% against each relevant foreign currency.

2026 2025 $ 154 $ 151 |
2026 2025 $ 256 $ 5 |
b) Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because it owns assets and borrows funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. Hedging activities are evaluated regularly, ensuring the most cost-effective hedging strategies are applied.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting periods were as follows:
| March 31, | December 31, | March 31, | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | 2025 | |
| Fair value interest rate risk | |||
| Financial assets | $ 25,036,336 | $ 17,360,201 | $ 15,551,816 |
| Financial liabilities | (4,687,202) |
(3,631,985) |

| Financial liabilities | (31,804,728) | (63,458,234) | (63,839,508) |
- 35 -
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the Group’s exposure to interest rates for both derivative and non-derivative instruments at the end of the year. For floating rate assets and liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of each liability outstanding at the end of the year was outstanding for the whole year.
If interest rates had been 0.1% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s pre-tax profit for the three months ended March 31, 2026 would have decreased/increased by $1,753 thousand, which was mainly attributable to the Company’s exposure to interest rates on its floating interest rate liabilities. The Company’s pre-tax loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 would have increased/decreased by $12,711 thousand, which was mainly attributable to the Company’s exposure to interest rates on its floating interest rate liabilities.
2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations, resulting in a financial loss to the Company. As at the end of the reporting period, the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is mainly from the carrying amount of the respective financial assets recognized as stated in the balance sheets.
In order to minimize credit risk, the Company has in place credit and accounts receivable management policies to ensure that appropriate action is taken to recover overdue receivables. In addition, the Company regularly reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt to ensure that adequate allowances are made for irrecoverable amounts.
The Company’s accounts receivable outstanding arose from trading with a large number of customers spreading across diverse industries and geographical areas. Ongoing credit evaluation of customers’ financial condition is performed on an annual or aperiodic basis.
Customer credit evaluation includes customers’ financial condition, credit rating, historical transaction records and market conditions. The Company would evaluate customers’ financial conditions periodically, and would obtain receipts in advance, deposits, pledged fixed deposit or others as collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.
The credit risk on liquid funds and derivatives was limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings.
3) Liquidity risk
The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Company’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.
The Company relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company had available unutilized loan facilities set out in (b) below.
a) Liquidity and interest rate risk tables for non-derivative financial liabilities
