(I) 2023 Business Report

In 2023, faced with the challenges of elevated inflation, countries cautiously implemented interest rate hikes and tightened monetary policies to control the risk of potential economic hard landing. Geopolitical tension and conflicts have reshaped the landscape of the global supply chains. Globalization of manufacturing encountered setbacks. Companies need to restructure their supply chains more flexibly. A series of ever-changing issues has brought about numerous uncertainty, yet it has also forged resilient survival patterns for companies. Even though Raydium underwent inventory adjustments in the first quarter, we continued to deliver sequential growth in revenue for the coming two quarters and maintained strong results in the fourth quarter during the volatile economic conditions of 2023. This was due to our diversified and comprehensive product lines encompassing large, medium, and small-sized displays built over many years, as well as our strategic positioning in both consumer and commercial products. The consolidated revenue for 2023 reached NT$18.347 billion, a decrease of 19.6% from the previous year. The overall gross margin dropped to 28.9%. The consolidated net profit after tax was NT$1.443 billion, a decrease of 62.6% from the previous year. The earnings per share was NT$19.02.

The display driver ICs for AMOLED, automotive and industrial applications accounted for 60% of Raydium's total revenue in 2023. AMOLED driver ICs and automotive industrial control driver ICs have contributed stable growth momentum to the company. Additionally, large-size display driver ICs are important for the stabilization of Raydium's revenue in this uncertain economy.

Embracing an entrepreneurial culture that emphasizes value creation and innovative breakthroughs, Raydium is consistently working to diversify our product lines. We are actively investing in the development of low-power consumption driver ICs, timing control ICs and power management ICs to incorporate the energy savings and carbon reduction initiatives driven by ESG. In terms of product development, large-size display products provide ultra-low power consumption, optimized visual quality, extremely narrow bezel and a total solution to customers. In the realm of AMOLED display products, AMOLED panels have expanded from being highly penetrated in flatpanel smartphones to now extending into foldable smartphones. Raydium is collaborating closely with international brands to reduce power consumption, thickness and weight of foldable smartphones. The next key application for the AMOLED display will be at the IT segment. Major panel manufacturers have initiated new AMOLED investments for Gen. 8.5 or above production plans. The rapid deployment in the IT market welcomes new display technology from AMOLED. Raydium has long been committed to the development of AMOLED products. In addition to years of mass production in smartphone and wearable devices, both AMOLED foldable smartphones and IT products have also entered the mass production stage. This gives us a strategical position to catch the growth momentum.

The automotive smart cockpit requires onboard displays as a powerful communication mediums, ranging from pillar-to-pillar, ultra-large and curved integrated displays, connecting driving and entertainment information for the driver and front passenger. In addition to driver ICs, Raydium also provides touch with display driver ICs (TDDI), timing control ICs (TCON) and local dimming ICs. In the future, automotive displays will adapt AMOLED and Micro LED technology. The advantages of AMOLED and Micro-LED can trigger the innovation to improve human-machine interface. Raydium will continue to develop and offer LCD, AMOLED and Micro LED based products for in-vehicle display solution.

In 2023, Raydium was honored to be awarded as one of the “2023 Taiwan Best-in-Class 100” by the Taiwan Institute of Directors and the Corporate Development Research Center (CDRC), and also received recognition from the National Taxation Bureau as an excellent business entity. In addition, we completed the first ESG report, which was verified by a third party. It demonstrated our efforts and achievements in ESG, corporate governance (G), social responsibility (S), and environmental protection (E). In our commitment to advancing ESG initiatives, we persist in implementing various proposals through practical action, tackling tasks and challenges with excellence in execution.

Prospecting in 2024, the developments in geopolitics and warfare are difficult to predict and the impact of rising interest rates during the process of rate cuts on the overall economy is also uncertain. Therefore, we must adopt a more cautious and composed approach to response the ever-changing international political and economic situation. Companies can only demonstrate resilient competitiveness by continually undergoing trials and the accumulation of experience. Raydium has been strategically investing in cutting-edge next-generation technologies for the long term, closely tailoring our offerings to meet customer needs. We provide high-quality products and services, actively invest in R&D, fostering a culture of innovate and courage to seek breakthroughs. By addressing customers' pain points and building long-term, trust-based relationships with our clients, we are committed to revitalizing business growth. Raydium continues to promote new process capabilities and partner with diverse suppliers to enhancing the resilience of our supply chain network. Upholding the principles of ESG for sustainable development, we strive to balance the interest of stakeholders. By promoting sustainable environment development, fulfilling corporate social accountabilities, and implementing a sustainable corporate governance culture, we strive to enhance our sustainable competitiveness. With the support and encouragement of the shareholders, the team at Raydium will spare no effort in creating excellent achievements.

Attachment I: Independent Auditors’ Report and 2023 Consolidated Financial Statements

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of Raydium Semiconductor Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Raydium Semiconductor Corporation (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for each of the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), and the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statements Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Account of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirement. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Based on our judgment, the key audit matters that should be disclosed in this audit report are as follows:

1. Valuation of inventories

Please refer to note 4(8) for the accounting policy of inventory valuation; note 5 for the estimation and assumption uncertainty of the valuation of inventory; and note 6(4) for information on estimation of the valuation of inventory to the consolidated financial statements.

7

Description of key audit matter:

The Group may write down the cost of inventories to net realizable value due to normal wear and tear, obsolescence or no market value. The inventory valuation may result in material changes because of decline in demand and prices. Due to the introduction of new products in the market, the original outdated products no longer meet the market demand, resulting in the cost of inventory to exceed its net realizable value. Therefore, the valuation of inventory is one of our key audit matters.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

The principal procedures include testing the inventory aging reports and analyzing the aging of inventories for each period; inspecting the production and sales meetings to assess the destocking; assessing whether the valuation of inventories has been carried out in accordance with the established accounting policies; and performing retrospective testing on inventories to verify the appropriateness of the inventory provision.

  1. Revenue recognition from contracts with customers

Please refer to note 4(14) “Revenue recognition” for the accounting policy on revenue recognition; and note 6(19) “Revenues from contracts with customers” for revenue recognition.

Description of key audit matter:

The Group mainly engages in the development, design and sale of display driver, touch control, and power management integrated circuit products. The recognition of operating revenue is determined according to the trade terms agreed with the customers. The Group recognizes revenue depending on the various sales terms in each individual contract with customers to ensure its performance obligation has been satisfied by transferring its control to its customer. It is necessary to determine the performance obligations and the time at which they are satisfied. Therefore, the appropriateness of timing of revenue recognition is one of our key audit matters.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included understanding and testing the Group's controls surrounding the revenue process and cash collection transaction process; analyzing the type of principal revenue and trading terms; selecting samples and inspecting contracts with customers or customers' orders to assess the adequacy of the timing of revenue recognition; and randomly selecting sales transactions incurred within a certain period before or after the balance sheet date by reviewing documents to ensure that revenue was recognized in the appropriate period.

Other Matter

The Company has prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, on which we have issued an unqualified opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

8

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’ s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

9

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Chien-Hui Lu and An-Chih Cheng.

Attachment II: Independent Auditors’ Report and 2023 Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of Raydium Semiconductor Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the parent-company-only financial statements of Raydium Semiconductor Corporation(“the Company”), which comprise the parent-company-only balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the parent-company-only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, then and notes to the parent-company-only financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying parent-company-only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the parent-company-only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Account of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent-company-only financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of parent-company-only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on the these matters. Based on our judgment, the key audit matters that should be disclosed in this audit report are as follows:

1. Valuation of inventories

Please refer to note 4(7) for the accounting policy of inventory valuation, note 5 for the estimation and assumption uncertainty of the valuation of inventory, and note 6(4) for information on estimation of the valuation of inventory to the parent-company-only financial statements.

15

Description of key audit matter:

The Company may write down the cost of inventories to net realizable value due to normal wear and tear, obsolescence or no market value. The inventory valuation may result in material changes because of decline in demand and prices. Due to the introduction of new products in the market, the original outdated products no longer meet the market demand, resulting in the cost of inventory to exceed its net realizable value. Therefore, the valuation of inventory is one of our key audit matters.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

The principal procedures include testing the inventory aging reports and analyzing the aging of inventories for each period; inspecting the production and sales meetings to assess the destocking; assessing whether the valuation of inventories has been carried out in accordance with the established accounting policies; and performing retrospective testing on inventories to verify the appropriateness of the inventory provision.

  1. Revenue recognition from contracts with customers

Please refer to note 4(14) “Revenue recognition” for the accounting policy and note 6(20) “Revenues from contracts with customers” for revenue recognition.

Description of key audit matter:

The Company mainly engages in the development, design and sale of display driver, touch control, and power management integrated circuit products. The recognition of operating revenue is determined according to the trade terms agreed with the customers. The Company recognizes revenue depending on the various sales terms in each individual contract with customers to ensure its performance obligation has been satisfied by transferring its control to its customer. It is necessary to determine the performance obligations and the time at which they are satisfied. Therefore, the appropriateness of timing of revenue recognition is one of our key audit matters.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included understanding and testing the Company ' s controls surrounding the revenue process and cash collection transaction process; analyzing the type of principal revenue and trading terms; selecting samples and inspecting contracts with customers or customers' orders to assess the adequacy of the timing of revenue recognition; and randomly selecting sales transactions incurred within a certain period before or after the balance sheet date by reviewing documents to ensure that revenue was recognized in the appropriate period.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent-company-only financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parentcompany-only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the parent-company-only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

16

Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent-Company-Only Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent-company-only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent-company-only financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent-company-only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the parent-company-only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent-company-only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent-company-only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in entities accounted for using equity method to express an opinion on the parent-company-only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

17

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent-company-only financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Chien-Hui Lu and An-Chih Cheng.
