Influenced by cost structure considerations, some foreign IDM manufacturers have reduced or delayed the expansion of their assembly and testing capacity, providing an opportunity for dedicated OSAT providers to secure outsourced orders.
- Continuous growth in demand for emerging applications
The increasing demand for emerging applications such as AI, high-performance computing, deep learning, edge computing, AR/VR, drones, and robotics is driving demand for high-end processes and testing, which helps major international players place orders in Taiwan and expands Sigurd's market participation.
- Expansion of Wearable Devices and IoT Applications
The continuous popularization of wearable devices and Internet of Things (IoT) applications, such as smart glasses, has driven the growth in demand for electronic components, creating new market opportunities for Sigurd.
- Stable growth in demand for automotive electronics
Strict emission regulations and the development of autonomous driving technology in various countries have driven the growth in demand for automotive electronics and related ICs, providing relatively stable long-term demand for Sigurd.
- 5G applications continue to develop toward AI integration
5G technology is gradually integrating with AI applications, and the demand for related equipment and chips continues to rise, bringing new growth momentum to Sigurd.
(II) Unfavorable factors
- Geopolitical risks affecting the supply chain
Geopolitical events such as the Russia-Ukraine war and conflicts in the Middle East have not yet ended and may affect the supply of raw supplies and the stability of global supply chains, increasing production uncertainty.
- Cross-strait relations variables
Changes in cross-strait relations may prompt some semiconductor industry players to consider establishing plants in regions other than Taiwan and mainland China; relevant developments require continuous monitoring.
- Expansion and business cycle risks
During periods of tight semiconductor supply, industry players actively expanded capacity; however, if the economic cycle reverses, it may lead to overcapacity and trigger price competition.
16
- Risk of proliferation of chip control policies
The United States' chip control measures against China are subject to dynamic adjustments and may be expanded to other countries in the future; China may also adopt corresponding policies, which could have a profound impact on the global semiconductor industry.
- Impact of U.S. Trade and Tariff Policies
Uncertain trade and tariff policies may increase corporate costs and affect end-market demand, thereby exerting pressure on the demand structure and cost side of the semiconductor industry, which requires prudent assessment.
- Memory price fluctuation risk
Recently, prices for DDR and Flash memory have shown a significant upward trend, which may drive up the overall manufacturing costs of end products (such as smartphones, personal computers, and various consumer electronic products), thereby triggering adjustments in product selling prices. If the magnitude or duration of the price increases exceeds market tolerance, it may exert pressure on end-market demand and further affect the overall demand momentum of the semiconductor industry; the related impacts remain to be seen.
- In recent years, the prices of certain semiconductor-related raw supplies have experienced significant increases, and individual key raw supplies may still face supply tightness, which could affect the production cost structure and supply stability. If the price volatility of raw supplies expands or supply shortages persist, it may impact semiconductor production schedules and the operation of the overall industry supply chain; subsequent developments require continuous monitoring.
Overall Response Strategies
Taking into account the aforementioned favorable and unfavorable factors, Sigurd will maintain a prudent management attitude in 2026 and flexibly adjust its business strategies to respond to the highly volatile industrial environment. Relevant measures include strengthening risk management mechanisms, enhancing production planning flexibility, and deepening cost control measures to ensure that the Company can maintain operational stability, capital utilization efficiency, and long-term competitiveness during periods of economic adjustment.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
PWCR25000492
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Sigurd Microelectronics Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sigurd Microelectronics Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Sigurd Group") as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent auditors (please refer to the Other matters section), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sigurd Group as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
22
23
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statements Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Sigurd Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. Based on our audits and the reports of other independent auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matter
Key audit matters are the matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of consolidated financial statements of the current period. This matter was addressed in the context of our audit of consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on this matter.
Key audit matter for Sigurd Group’s consolidated financial statements of the current period is stated as follows:
24
Capitalisation of property, plant and equipment
Description
Sigurd Group increased its capital expenditure to meet its operational needs. Please refer to Note 4(15) for accounting policies on property, plant and equipment, and Note 6(7) for details of property, plant and equipment. Considering that capitalisation of property, plant and equipment is significant to Sigurd Group’s consolidated financial statements, thus, we identified the audit of capitalisation of property, plant and equipment as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter: Assessed and validated the effectiveness of the internal control system over additions to property, plant and equipment, as well as sample tested and examined respective purchase orders and invoices to ensure that transactions were approved accordingly and recognised amounts were accurate. Sample tested and examined the acceptance documents to validate the appropriateness of the timing that assets are ready for use and capitalisation (timing of starting depreciation).
25
Other matter – Audited by other independent auditors
We did not audit the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries. Those financial statements were audited by other independent auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements, was based solely on the reports of other independent auditors. Total assets of those consolidated subsidiaries amounted to NT$299,756 thousand and NT$253,805 thousand, constituting 0.70% and 0.64% of the consolidated total assets as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and total operating revenues amounted to NT$295,269 thousand and NT$270,429 thousand, constituting 1.51% and 1.48% of the total operating revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Other matter – Parent company only financial statements
We have also expressed an unmodified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Sigurd Microelectronics Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal controls as the management determines are necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Sigurd 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 the management either intends to liquidate the Sigurd Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Sigurd Group's financial reporting process.
Auditor's 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 a 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 judgement and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- 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 controls.
26
-
Obtain an understanding of internal controls 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 Sigurd Group’s internal controls.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
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 Sigurd 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 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 the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Sigurd Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
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.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Sigurd Group to express an opinion on consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group 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 controls that we identify during our audit.
27
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 those matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine the matter that was of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and is therefore the key audit matter. We describe the matter in our 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
PWCR25000526
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Sigurd Microelectronics Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the parent company only balance sheets of Sigurd Microelectronics Corporation (the "Company") as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent auditors (please refer to the Other matter section) of our report, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sigurd Microelectronics Corporation as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its financial 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 Statements Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's 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 Accountants in the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. Based on our audits and the reports of other independent auditors,
35
we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matter
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period. This matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on this matter.
Key audit matter of the Company’s parent company only financial statements of the current period is stated as follows:
Capitalisation of property, plant and equipment
Description
The Company increased the capital expenditure to meet its operational needs. Please refer to Note 4(14) for accounting policies on property, plant and equipment, and Note 6(8) for details of property, plant and equipment. Considering capitalisation of property, plant and equipment is significant to the Company’s parent company only financial statements, thus, we identified the audit of capitalisation of property, plant and equipment as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter: Assessed and validated the effectiveness of the internal control system over additions to property, plant and equipment, as well as sample tested and examined respective purchase
36
orders and invoices to ensure that transactions were approved accordingly and recognised amounts were accurate. Sample tested and examined the acceptance documents to validate the appropriateness of the timing that assets are ready for use and capitalisation (timing of starting depreciation).
Other matter — Audited by other independent auditors
We did not audit the 2025 and 2024 financial statements of certain investee companies accounted for using the equity method. Those financial statements were audited by other independent auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein is based solely on the reports of other independent auditors. Investments accounted for using equity method amounted to NT$141,856 thousand and NT$21,204 thousand, constituting 0.42% and 0.07% of total assets, as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and their comprehensive income (loss) amounted to NT$37,136 thousand and NT($22,921) thousand, constituting 0.88% and (0.81%) of the total comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
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 the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal controls as the management determines are necessary to enable the preparation of parent company 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 Company'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
37
the management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s 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 judgement and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- 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 controls.
38
-
Obtain an understanding of internal controls 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 controls.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
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 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 the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our 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 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.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company 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 controls 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
39
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From those matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine the matter that was of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period and is therefore the key audit matter. We describe the matter in our 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.
