RECHI PRECISION CO., LTD.
2023 Business report
Dear shareholders,
The global economic growth in 2023 was not as favorable as expected, mainly due to the increase in business costs and inflation resulting from the aggressive interest rate hike policy of the Fed, the effects on the economy in Europe generated from the unresolved Russo-Ukrainian War, the US-China trade war, separation of supply chains from China, and the sluggish recovery of China’s economy. Since Q4, due to climate change and the attack on the Red Sea, the SCFI has risen by 23%. In addition, the successive crises of the real estate giants in China and Europe have brought uncertainty to global inflation at the end of the year. According to comprehensive reports and the Company's statistical analysis, the sales volume of air conditioners in China reached 170 million units in 2023, representing an increase of 11.2% year-on-year. Among them, the sales volume in the domestic market increased by 13.8%, the export volume increased by 7.8%, and industrial inventory slowed down to approximately 17.9 million units. The scale of the rotary compressor industry has also reached a new level with an annual output of 260 million units, representing a YoY increase of 12.7%.
In order to ensure the shareholders' rights and interests and sustainable operation, we solidify the foundation to improve the overall performance, the Company made a breakthrough in the Chinese market bucking the trend, with a significant increase in inverter requirements. However, due to regional conflicts and high inflation in the European and American markets, the terminal demand was sluggish and sales declined. In 2023, we realized a sales volume of compressors of 15.50 million units, representing a YoY increase of 2.3%, and the consolidated revenue was NT $16,859,695 thousand, representing a YoY decrease of 8.2%.

Research & Development:
-
According to the development plan, the Company has completed the development of 2.2 - 4.0KW inverter compressor series for air conditioners for Japan, the development of R290 refrigerant fixed frequency/inverter horizontal compressor for heat pump washer-dryer for Europe, the development of the 35F R290 horizontal inverter compressor in response to the new energy efficiency regulations for dishwasher in the EU, and development of 2HP R32 refrigerant high-efficiency twin-cylinder inverter compressor for air conditioners in China.
-
At the same time, we have also completed the R&D of the 35F/39F 8P12S low-noise inverter compressor motor, the R&D of the new 50F fixed frequency aluminum wire mold, and the magnetic-solid coupling analysis and the basic research of electromagnetic noise simulation of the variable frequency motor.
-
-
Sales:
- We recorded a YoY growth of 2.3% in compressor sales throughout the year, mainly due to the increase in the proportion of fixed-frequency aluminum wire and copper-aluminum wire products, as well as the breakthrough in China's inverter market. The sales volume of inverters had a YoY increase of 45.3%, and the overall compressor profit margin increased by 2.6%.
-
II. Summary of Business Plan for 2024:
Looking ahead to 2024, environmental factors affecting the Company's operations are summarized as follows:
-
Global economic environment:
-
IMF forecasts that global economic growth will slow down to 2.9%, and economic growth in developed economies (i.e., the US and Japan) will slow down to 1.5% and 1.0%, respectively. Emerging markets and developing countries in Asia will record a slowdown in economic growth, of which China has slowed down to 4.8% while India is expected to maintain above 6%.
-
Inflation is expected to slow down to 5.8%.
-
Industry status:
-
Air conditioning industry
Under the evolution of the regional economy in the post-pandemic era, China's air conditioner production bases have shifted to a global layout, companies have self-reliant core parts and components, and competitive companies within the industry formed alliances to expand their territories. Furthermore, new competitors have entered the rotary compressor market, indicating that the concentration of China's air conditioner brands has increased. The industry elimination mechanism has been activated, and the disadvantaged brands will be marginalized.
In response to global warming, carbon neutrality, and natural refrigerant issues, the HVAC industry has a positive prospect.
- Compressor industry
As the world's main production base for rotary compressors, China's production volume accounts for nearly 95% of the global output, which has a huge impact on industry trend.
The unstable international situation, the weak economic momentum in Europe and America, and the unclear economic indicators of the real estate industry will hinder the recovery of consumer confidence in the short term. The overall compressor production capacity will continue to be over-supply, and the market price competition will be intense. It is estimated that the sales volume of the rotary compressor industry in 2024 will record a YoY decline of 2 - 3%.
13
- Green business opportunities
The net zero and low-carbon issue continues to develop. In particular, the environmental regulations and strict requirements for natural refrigerants (i.e., R290) in the European market gave rise to more technological innovations. The market scale and demand for heat pumps (hot water/heating) will continue to grow.
- Trend of raw materials
Copper: Goldman Sachs estimates that, driven by China's policies, copper will have a short supply in the second half of the year, and the price will rise significantly. Meanwhile, the market expects global central banks to commence reducing interest rates, and the weak USD will bring certain support to the copper price.
Steel: The worldsteel’s report shows that the steel demand in developed economies will recover slowly, and the demand growth in emerging economies is expected to be faster than that in developed economies.
Rare earth: With the rapid development of wind power, new energy vehicles, AI and other industries, the production volume and consumption volume of rare earth and permanent magnetic materials in China have maintained a steady growth trend.
The overall market environment and industry competition are intense, and the operational challenges cannot be underestimated. It is necessary to move with the times phrase, keep abreast of market dynamics, and quickly adjust the pace of operation to ensure the achievement of the Company's business targets. Therefore, the Company has formulated its operating strategy and policy for 2024, summarized as follows:
-
The target of sales volume of compressors in the whole year is 16.8 million units or more.
-
In response to the market competition of frequency conversion products, we will continue to promote inverter compressors to increase the market share.
-
In response to the global trend of carbon neutrality, we will grasp medium and long-term low-carbon business opportunities and develop new customers and new fields.
-
Accelerate the product iteration cycle and invest in the development of forward-looking products.
-
Implement high turnover and light inventory to reduce the cost of working capital.
-
Continue to promote production automation, intelligent equipment, and visualized processes to improve the consistency of the Group's product quality.
-
Optimize product quality, improve internal and external yields and product stability, and improve customer satisfaction.
-
Conform to the international trend and continue to attach importance to ESG evaluation to achieve the Group's annual carbon reduction target.
Looking forward to 2024, the Company adheres to the concept of sustainable operation and honest operation and focuses on pursuing customer satisfaction as the primary goal. The Company will be customer-oriented, quickly respond to market demand, continuously expand sales volume, reduce marginal costs, break through technical bottlenecks, and strengthen product competitiveness, to achieve the maximization of enterprise value.

Auditor’s Report
To RECHI PRECISION CO., LTD.:
Audit opinions
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of RECHI PRECISION CO., LTD. (the “Company”) and subsidiary (collectively, the “Group”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statement of income, consolidated statement of changes in shareholders equity, consolidated statement of cash flows, and notes to the consolidated financial statements (including major accounting policy) for the years then ended.
In my opinion, the financial statements as referred to present fairly, in all material aspects the financial position of RECHI PRECISION CO., LTD. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the Regulation Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and applicable IFRS, IAS, SIC, and IFRIC as recognized by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
The basis for opinions
We are engaged to conduct our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the responsibilities of auditors for the audit of the consolidated financial statements. We are independent of RECHI Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics for certified public accountants in the part relevant to the audit of the consolidated financial statements of RECHI Group, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believed that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for 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 RECHI Group in 2023. These matters were addressed in the content of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on those matters.
16
The key audit matters of the 2023 consolidated financial statements of RECHI PRECISION CO., LTD (RECHI Group) and its subsidiaries are described as follows:
The basis for recognition of the revenue on export sales
RECHI Group is mainly engaged in the business focused on the manufacturing and selling of refrigerant compressors, by exporting and importing the product, our market covers a wide range of areas globally, therefore, the terms and conditions apply to different clients might also vary.
The sales revenue from exported goods sold was recognized by the Group when transaction conditions were fulfilled in accordance with that applied to different clients as predetermined and the control over the goods sold was transferred to the buyers. The relatively longer transportation period needed for part of export transactions and the terms and conditions apply to specific clients required human judgment in the process of revenue recognition, which might result in an incorrect time record of sales revenue, thus we have made the timing of recognizing sales revenue from exported goods with specific transaction conditions as one of the most important audit matters of the year.
The main audit procedures that we have implemented for the above timing of sales revenue recognition are as follows:
-
Understand and evaluate the procedures for the timing of sales revenue recognition plus the policy for internal control, and test the effectiveness of such controls.
-
Terminate the above test on the sales transactions with specific clients within a certain period before and after the balance sheet date, which includes verification of transaction conditions of the specific transaction, papers like import/export declarations, and inquiry of shipping schedule, in order to be sure if revenue recognition was recorded with a proper period.
-
Obtain the shipment details of the manual operation summary for a specific period for inspection, and check the relevant vouchers randomly to confirm whether the adjustment of the time point of revenue recognition is correct.
Other information
The Company has also prepared the parent company only financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, for which we have issued an unqualified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those in Charge of Governance of the Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture
The responsibility of management is to prepare fairly presented consolidated financial statements in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reports Standards, International Accounting Standards interpretations, and announcements of interpretations recognized and published by the Financial Supervisory Commission and maintain necessary internal control related to the preparation of consolidation of financial statements in order to ensure the material misstatement caused by fraud or error does not exist in the consolidated financial statements.
17
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the ability of the Group in continuing as a going concern, disclosing relevant matters, and adopting the going concern basis of accounting unless the management intends to liquidate the Group or cease the operations without other viable alternatives.
The governing body of the Group (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture
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 and auditor’s report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that and audit conducted in accordance with the accounting principles of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. If fraud or errors are considered material, 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 accounting principles of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also perform the following works:
-
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 risks, and obtain evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of 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.
-
Understand the internal control related to the audit in order to design appropriate audit procedures under the circumstances, while not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonability of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
-
Conclude the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by the management, and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on RECHI Group and its ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inappropriate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause RECHI Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
18
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the consolidated statements, including related notes, whether the consolidated statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a matter that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence on the financial information of business entities within the Group in order to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for guiding, supervising, and performing the audit and forming an audit opinion on the Group.
We communicate with those in charge of 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 in charge of 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 the governing body, we determined the key audit matters for the audit of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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 communications.

Auditor’s Report
To RECHI PRECISION CO., LTD.:
Audit opinions
We have audited the accompanying individual balance sheet of RECHI PRECISION CO., LTD. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related individual statement of income, individual statement of changes in shareholders equity, individual statement of cash flows, and notes to the individual financial statements (including major accounting policy) for the years then ended.
In our opinion, the accompanying individual financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for the years then ended, and its individual financial performance and its individual cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
The basis for opinions
We are engaged to conduct our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the responsibilities of auditors for the audit of the separate financial statements. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believed that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for 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 individual financial statements of the Company in 2023. These matters were addressed in the content of our audit of the individual financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on those matters.
28
The key audit matters of the 2023 individual financial statements of the Company are described as follows:
The basis for recognition of the revenue on export sales
RECHI Precision Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in the manufacture and sale of refrigerant compressors. The sales types are divided into domestic sales and export sales. Among them, export sales targets are located in many regions around the world, and the transaction conditions agreed between different customers may differ.
The export sales revenue of RECHI Precision Co., Ltd. is based on the transaction conditions agreed by individual customers, and the sales revenue is recognized when the transaction conditions are reached and the control of the goods has been transferred to the buyers. The relatively longer transportation period needed for part of export transactions and the terms and conditions apply to specific clients required human judgment in the process of revenue recognition, which might result in an incorrect time record of sales revenue, thus we have made the timing of recognizing sales revenue from exported goods with specific transaction conditions as one of the most important audit matters of the year.
The main audit procedures that we have implemented for the above timing of sales revenue recognition are as follows:
-
Understand and evaluate the procedures for the timing of sales revenue recognition plus the policy for internal control, and test the effectiveness of such controls.
-
Terminate the above test on the sales transactions with specific clients within a certain period before and after the balance sheet date, which includes verification of transaction conditions of the specific transaction, papers like import/export declarations, and inquiry of shipping schedule, in order to be sure if revenue recognition was recorded with a proper period.
-
Obtain the shipment details of the manual operation summary for a specific period for inspection, and check the relevant vouchers randomly to confirm whether the adjustment of the time point of revenue recognition is correct.
Responsibilities of Management and Those in Charge of Governance of the Individual Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the individual financial statements in accordance with the 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 individual financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the individual financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the ability of the Company in continuing as a going concern, disclosing relevant matters, and adopting the going concern basis of accounting unless the management intends to liquidate the Company or cease the operations without other viable alternatives.
The governing body of the Company (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.
29
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Individual Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the individual financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue and auditor’s report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that and audit conducted in accordance with the accounting principles of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. If fraud or errors are considered material, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these individual financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the accounting principles of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also perform the following works:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the individual financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design, and perform audit procedures responsive risks, and obtain evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of 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.
-
Understand the internal control related to the audit in order to design appropriate audit procedures under the circumstances, while not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonability of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
-
Conclude the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by the management, 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 and its ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the individual financial statements or, if such disclosures are inappropriate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the individual statements, including related notes, whether the individual statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a matter that achieves fair presentation.
30
- Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence on the financial information of business entities within the Company in order to express an opinion on the individual financial statements. We are responsible for guiding, supervising, and performing the audit and forming an audit opinion on the Company.
We communicate with those in charge of 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 in charge of 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 the governing body, we determined the key audit matters for the audit of the Company’s individual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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 communications.
