Ⅰ. Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

Sinphar Pharmaceutical proudly marks its 48th anniversary in 2025. The group remains firmly committed to its three strategic pillars: the diversified development of generic drugs, the advancement of new drug R&D, and the expansion into natural botanical products. In 2024, Sinphar sustained strong growth, achieving record-high revenues and improved gross profit margins compared to previous years. This success reflects our ongoing investments in new products, process and quality management, digital transformation, and breakthroughs in digital marketing and advertising. Sinphar’s stable business model positions us well for future challenges and opportunities.

As demonstrated in our financial results, the group has achieved consistent revenue growth from 2021 through 2024, with cumulative growth exceeding 30% compared to 2020. Income across all categories and R&D activities has expanded significantly, and we expect this momentum to continue. Furthermore, strategic alliances and global partnerships have steadily deepened, strengthening our foundation for sustainable growth. To further capitalize on emerging opportunities, we are investing in smart manufacturing and digitalization, enhancing our production and R&D capacities. Alongside operational growth, we will continue prioritizing investments that drive long-term value.

Beyond technological and infrastructure investments, nurturing talent remains central to our sustainability strategy. To this end, we are expanding the Sinphar Academy, which will now encompass training in quality, sales, R&D, and management. The Academy will serve as a cornerstone for strengthening our corporate culture and building a robust talent pipeline aligned with our long-term vision.

Sustainability is now an imperative embraced by governments and multinational clients alike. Sinphar has invested tens of millions of dollars in energy conservation and carbon reduction initiatives. We actively promote public health by sponsoring activities such as the Sinphar Yilan Marathon and partnering with over 1,300 affiliated pharmacies to engage local communities. Guided by the principle of “giving back to the community,” we are embedding ESG practices into our operations, laying a strong foundation for future development and fulfilling our corporate social responsibilities.

Looking ahead, Sinphar will continue to uphold the philosophy of “Life, Health, and Technology” as our guiding principle. We will strengthen vertical integration, broaden strategic alliances, and deepen collaboration with stakeholders to maximize

1.2.2 Sales Volume Forecast and Supporting Basis

Drugs and functional food are the main product categories of our Company. The Company and its employees are working together to achieve the sales targets for 2025.

1.3 The Impact on Company’s Future Development Strategies Due to Competition, Regulatory Restrictions and Market Changes

With the continued aging of the population, Taiwan has seen steady growth in both healthcare expenditures and demand for medical services. To control the rising costs of the National Health Insurance (NHI) system, the government has implemented drug price adjustment measures. Nevertheless, the overall healthcare market continues to expand, and the government has encouraged hospitals and primary healthcare institutions to adopt generic drugs, resulting in sustained growth in the generics market. However, domestic pharmaceutical companies face disadvantages compared to large multinational corporations due to a lack of economies of scale and unfair competition from imported drugs. In addition, increasingly stringent domestic regulations—such as the full implementation of PIC/S GMP standards—have significantly raised production costs, while continued reductions in NHI reimbursement prices have further constrained the development of local pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Looking ahead, while challenges remain, we also see limitless opportunities. Guided by the philosophy of life, health, and technology, Sinphar continues to invest in upgrading hardware and software, attracting talent, introducing new technologies, enhancing quality, and developing new products. We are also strengthening our e-commerce and digital marketing capabilities. Through these efforts, Sinphar remains committed to contributing to the advancement of Taiwan’s pharmaceutical industry and delivering lasting value to our shareholders.

(B) Diversity and Independence of Board of Directors

  • a. Diversity of Board of Directors:

The Company advocates and respects the diverse policy of Directors to improve corporate governance and promote the sound development of the composition and structure of the Board of Directors. The diverse guideline contributes to enhancing the overall performance of the Company. The members of the Board of Directors are hired based on merit, built up with cross-disciplinary complementary capabilities, and increase the seats of female Directors. According to the demands of operations, business model, and development, to strengthen Board competencies to achieve the goal of corporate governance, the following items are the capabilities the Board of the Company should possess:

  • (a) Basic conditions and values: Gender, age, nationality, and culture.

  • (b) Professional knowledge and abilities:

Have the ability to make operational judgments, ability to perform accounting and financial analysis, ability to conduct management administration, ability to conduct crisis management, knowledge of the industry, an international market perspective, ability to lead, ability to make policy decisions, respective industry experiences and relative abilities.

  • (c) If the number of directors of the same gender on the board of directors of the company is less than one-third, describe the reason and measures to be taken to improve the gender diversity of the board of directors

  • i. Reason: The Company has established 11 board seats in accordance with its Articles of Incorporation, with one currently held by a female director. While this complies with applicable regulations, it does not yet meet the one-third gender representation benchmark. Due to industry-specific constraints, identifying qualified female candidates remains a short-term challenge.

  • ii. Measures: The Company is committed to gender equality on the Board and aims for at least one-third female representation. It will continue to seek qualified female candidates to enhance board diversity and strengthen corporate governance.

4.1.2 Industry Overview

A. Current Status

According to the statistics in The State of World Population 2024 published by UNFPA, the global average life expectancy was 73.5 years, which was an extraordinary increase to 40 years in 1900. In Taiwan, according to the data published by the Ministry of the Interior in 2024, the average life expectancy was 80.2 years, specifically 76.9 years for men and 83.7 years for women. Compare to global average life expectancy, male and female average life expectancy in our country were respectively 5.9 years and 7.7 years higher than the global average. The upward trend in life expectancy is a result of better healthcare, healthier lifestyle, attention to food safety, and an increase in physical activities.

As the aging society brings social and economic challenges, it also creates market opportunities for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, such as a growing demand for geriatric medical care and chronic diseases. Additionally, the pharmaceutical industry continues to expand as people seek to prolong their health through consuming drugs and health foods.

According to IQVIA statistics, the scale of the global pharmaceutical market is US$1.5 trillion in 2023, compared to 2022, an increase of nearly 3.6%. It is expected that the scale in 2028 will reach US$1.9 trillion. The global pharmaceutical market has been influenced by individual country’s healthcare insurance system, budgetary concerns and cost controls, and consumers’ budget for out-of-pocket services. Therefore, the market for new drugs and generic drugs and drug price controls will affect future global pharmaceutical market scale. Overall it will be a growing market at a slower pace.

Despite the government controlling the medical expenses through adjusting insurance rates, new policy for copayment, and adjusting NHI drug prices, the pharmaceutical market has maintained steady growth over the years. According to IQVIA, Industrial Information of DCB, and Research Team of ITIS, the market scale of pharmaceuticals in our country in 2023 is NT$241.26 billion, growing 5.3% compared to the preceding year, because several expensive new drugs and new treatments have been included in NHI, and costly new drugs continue to enter copayment market. It is anticipated that with the increasing aging population leading to higher demands for anticancer and chronic disease drugs and treatments, the domestic pharmaceutical market will also be steadily growing.

However, several factors have affected drug price and quantity produced of domestic pharmaceutical companies in recent years, namely, the cost of research and development of

  • 95 -

new drugs, the increase of production cost after implementing PIC/S GMP, competition from imported drugs, the restriction of the New Patent Act, and the drug price survey. These factors caused a decline in revenue and profit.

The total amount of NHI payment has been increasing annually, from NT$553.1 billion in 2013 to NT$875.5 billion in 2024, of which drug payment accounted for 25-30%. Out of the total drug payment, only 25% were to domestic pharmaceutical companies, while the remainder was paid to global pharmaceutical companies. According to the data of IQVIA, the total sales of drugs of the top 20 domestic pharmaceutical companies in Taiwan amounted to NT$147.16 billion in 2023, accounting for about 61.0% of total sales of Taiwan pharmaceutical companies. Among the top 20 pharmaceutical companies, there were 19 global pharmaceutical companies, accounting for 59.1% of the Taiwan pharmaceutical market. And there was only a domestic pharmaceutical company, and its total sales were NT$4.46 billion, accounting for 1.8% of domestic sales.

The pharmaceutical industry is high in capital expenditure, requires advanced technology, and needs skilled professionals. Take the U.S. as an example, developing a new drug may take 10 to12 years and cost US$250 million to US$350 million. Because domestic pharmaceutical companies are smaller than global pharmaceutical companies and the staggering cost of new drug development, most domestic pharmaceutical companies produce generic drugs. In recent years, there is an increasing number of companies becoming involved in new drugs development.

The government implemented PIC/S GMP standard to ensure that Taiwan’s pharmaceutical manufacturing quality is consistent with international standards. So far over 140 companies are PIC/S GMP compliant and many have also passed the EU, the USA, and Japan inspection. Domestic pharmaceutical companies invested billions of dollars (NT$) in software and hardware to meet regulation requirements and remain competitive internationally. On the other hand, imported generic drugs can bypass the PIC/S GMP inspections, do not need to conduct bioequivalence study and are duty-free, thus creating a less advantageous business environment for domestic companies.

In light of unfair competition and NHI drug price suppression, domestic pharmaceutical companies are likely to produce health supplements and cosmetology products in addition to drugs to increase sales revenue. Furthermore, to decrease operational costs, domestic pharmaceutical companies may collaborate with, merge with, or acquire companies overseas.

B. Industry Development

Biotechnological and pharmaceutical products are closely related to public health, since they are mainly used for treating illnesses and preventive health care, as such, product safety and efficacy are especially important. Economic growth, aging population and world information flow have created a demand for high quality pharmaceutical products and that in turn, is driving a continuous annual revenue growth of the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry.

As the government establishes the “Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Industries Promotion Office” under the Ministry of Economic Affairs, it is simultaneously promoting the development of pharmaceutical manufacturing industry and gradually setting up a complete database of the pharmaceutical industry. In recent years, there is a worldwide trend on natural products, which leads to a growing demand for Chinese herbal medicine R&D, business opportunities, and government recognition on this market. However, the application of Chinese herbal medicine still needs scientific verification, clinical trial, and patent protection. This will be a subject that the domestic pharmaceutical industry needs to further explore or actively participate in development in the future. At present, both domestic and imported drugs are developing towards the PIC/S GMP standard, and the PIC/S GMP system complies with the specifications of the Pharmaceutical Inspection Convention and Co-operation Scheme, which is practiced currently in the EU, a higher requirement than cGMP. This ensures a spotless plant and quality drugs and protects the employees and the environment against pollution.

C. Relationship with Upstream, Midstream and Downstream Companies

  • Upstream: Raw material. The raw materials for western medicines include general chemicals, natural plants, animals, minerals, microbial strains, and relevant tissues and cells, etc. Among them, general chemicals are used the most. For traditional Chinese medicine, majority of raw materials are plants, while animals and minerals are in the minority. With advancement in biotechnology, using gene transfer, scientists have obtained many examples of genetically modified animals and plants, so in the future, plants can be directly cultivated or animals can be raised to produce medicines.

  • Midstream: API manufacturing and Chinese herbal medicinal materials processing. API manufacturer includes organic chemical synthesis, natural product extraction, microbial fermentation, or synthesis post-fermentation, and genetic engineering which generates purification from modified cell fermentation, etc.

  • 97 -

for example, biochip, biologic diagnostic reagents. The processing of Chinese medicinal materials is mainly based on the processing of medicinal plants.

Downstream: Pharmaceutical manufacturing industry mainly combines API with

pharmaceutical adjuvant, such as excipients, disintegrating agents, adhesives, and lubricants etc., and to create products in easy to use dosage forms. The manufacturing process shall comply with PIC/S GMP standards, to ensure the stability of product quality, and conform to the necessary conditions of safety, stabilization, and efficacy. In addition to making Chinese medicine in traditional Chinese medicinal dosage forms such as pill, paste, pellet, and powder etc., more and more manufacturers are producing Chinese medicines in western medicine dosage form. Chinese and western medicines are distributed through hospitals, pharmacies, prescriptions, or indicated by clinic doctors for patients or consumers to use.

D. Product Competition

The products of the Company are divided into categories of drugs, functional foods, and others.

The Company has establish a foothold in the local market with private brands by combining exclusive patented ingredients and technologies to make functional foods and is gradually expanding into international brands. Furthermore, the Company has been receiving orders from global manufacturers and gradually earning global recognition with its high-technology and high-quality products.

In terms of sales channel, domestic pharmaceutical companies have a larger market share in pharmacies and clinics, while global pharmaceutical companies and imported drugs have a larger market share in hospitals because of the hospitals prefer to use imported drugs. The Company maintains a balanced development in clinics, hospitals, and pharmacies for many years. Currently, the Company is focused on R&D, import agents and adjusting marketing strategies, increasing the development of hospitals, concentrating on operations, and managing pharmacy sales channel.

E. Product Trends

The global demand for pharmaceuticals continues to rise throughout a hundred years of pharmaceutical industry development. As the population grows and ages, people become aware of the importance of good health. As a result, more and more people start to exercise, diet, and take health supplements. However, there are still many serious diseases that cannot be treated. Therefore, the prospect of new drugs is highly anticipated, and

  • 98 -

governments of various countries have also begun to list biotechnology new drugs as key development industry.

In recent years, the government actively promotes the biotechnology pharmaceutical industry. Since the approval of Act for the Development of Biotech and New Pharmaceuticals Industry, many companies have obtained the certification under the Act. Relevant policies such as tax benefits, tax credits for R&D investment, and deregulation are incentives for companies to invest in the research and development of biotech. In 2017, the government implemented the “Biomedical Industry Innovation Program”. This included five strategic development directions: updating legislation to foster industry development, improving science park infrastructure to drive the industrial cluster effect, creating an integrated biomedical databases platform, introducing digital/smart technology into the biomedical industry, and strengthening the connection with global markets to improve industrial transition and innovation. In 2021, Executive Yuan passed “Six Core Strategic Industries Plan” built on the foundations of five plus two innovative industries plan, artificial intelligence with the fifth-generation mobile networks to promote precision health industry. Taking the biomedical industry as the core, and the advantages of the medical industry and information and communication technology, the precision health policy aims to improve the health and well-being of people of all ages. As a result, the amendment of the Act for the Development of Biotech and New Pharmaceuticals Industry took effect in 2022. The industry deals in new dosage forms, regenerative medicine, precision medicine, digital medicine, and contract development and manufacture of biotech and pharmaceutical products are included in the scope of preferential measures to support the development of the industry.

Developing biotech and new drugs require a vast sum of fund, technologies, and talents. Although Taiwan has many biotechnology talents, the scale of enterprises is not as large as global pharmaceutical corporations to have an abundance of capital and revenue to acquire new drugs and technologies. Additionally, the gross production value of the domestic medical industry is insufficient to support the development of new drugs.

At the same time, the development process of new drugs is full of uncertainties. Thus, it is still in the embryonic stage. In addition to requiring policy support from the government, we hope that the public is not influenced by the negative news of individual cases that may lead to adverse impact on the industry. With the support of talents, capital markets, and policies in Taiwan, we strive to manufacture world-class new drugs to give back to investors and contribute to human health.
