Sunonwealth Electric Machine Industry Co., Ltd. 2021 Business Report
I. Business Performance
The strong recovery of the global economy in the first half of 2021 has caused difficulties in the form of a tightened global supply chain and rising raw material prices. Due to the impact of the relocation of the Foshan Factory, we were unable to process rush orders immediately. As a result, although the demand for fans surged due to the growth in new server platforms, automotive communication, and communication markets, the overall growth and profitability of fan products were affected in 2021. We were only able to stabilize profitability and ship products for purchase orders from the previous period in November when Beihai Factory in China expanded its capacity. The expansion powered growth in revenue in the last quarter of 2021 and helped the Company continue to create record-high revenue.
Sunonwealth is the best partner for industrial motor and fan heat dissipation. Our company has pursued long-term development in a wide range of industrial applications. As times change, we continue to explore the development and research of cooling products for emerging industries and provide the best solutions for the latest technologies. Even as we face tremendous changes and impact in the global market, we leverage different product portfolios and adjust the supply and demand for industry applications to maintain optimal business performance and maximize business interests for companies.
Sunonwealth has been focused on inventions and innovation in core technologies in energyefficient motors for 42 years. Sunonwealth has continuously achieved innovation and led product development trends in the industry in solutions for motors, fans, heat dissipation modules, and ventilation. Examples include the world's first MagLev motor fans and the world's smallest and slimmest Mighty Mini Fan. Sunonwealth products have received wide acclaim in the industry and we continue to focus on low energy consumption and sustainable energy industry applications in response to the diversification and focus on sustainability issues in global industrial developments in recent years. Sunonwealth provides the most energy-efficient, high-quality, and reliable products for information, communication, automotive electronics, mobile devices, home appliances, industrial applications, healthcare, refrigeration, monitoring and control services, energy storage systems, and green building ventilation. They have been designated for use by multiple international brands and we have become customers' best partner for heat dissipation designs.
The Company's net operating revenues in 2021 was NT$9,894,052 thousand which was an increase of NT$1,282,302 thousand or14.89% from NT$8.611.750 thousand in 2020. The consolidated net operating revenues was NT$13,561,804 thousand which was an increase of NT$780,523 thousand or 6.11% from NT$12,781,281 thousand in 2020.
Sunonwealth Group launched the world's first DR MagLev Motor Fan which uses new MagLev technology with micro dust insulation technology and S&C (seal & clip) to effectively prevent motor stator blades from falling off and provides superior dust resistance, higher reliability, and longer
-47-
useful life. It has become Sunonwealth's optimal competitive niche in the heat dissipation industry. Sunonwealth has intensified development in inventions and innovation for many years and we have established comprehensive and industry-leading technology capacity. Sunonwealth was ranked 48th in the world and 4th in Taiwan in terms of technical strength by the MIT Technology Review . These achievements prove Sunonwealth's technical prowess in the industry.
As technology continues to progress and with the arrival of the 5G generation with faster transmission speed, application service providers (ASPs) continue to upgrade their comprehensive solutions and they increase the power requirements for telecommunication equipment such as telecommunication switches and data center servers. The demand for heat dissipation products also continues to grow. Thus, the servers and storage equipment in important data centers around the world rely heavily on Sunonwealth's heat dissipation products. In addition to telecommunication equipment, the market where 5G technologies have the most important impact is the electric vehicle market. As conditions inside cars are now being processed in the smart cloud, the demand for heat dissipation in all electronic systems have increased significantly. Sunonwealth has dedicated development efforts on the heat dissipation market for 41 years. We have won opportunities in the 5G market and used the advantages of our outstanding energy-efficient, low-vibration, and low-noise products to win the recognition of major international brands.
In terms of diverse automotive applications, in response to the increase in green energy and environmental protection awareness and the rapid development of electric vehicles, Sunonwealth's fan products have gradually been expanded from traditional automotive applications to various electronic applications in electric vehicles. Our products are used in the CPUs of advanced driver assistance systems and trip computers and our customers include major automobile manufacturers such as Tesla, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Audi, and Jaguar. As cars gradually become smarter, the proportion of automotive electronics applications has grown each year and automotive electronics has become the source of 90% of the innovation in the current automotive industry. Various applications for cleaner energy, safer, smarter, and more comfortable vehicles are being developed. Cooling design has become a key technology for maintaining the maximum performance of high-end electronics products. Since 1999, Sunonwealth has accumulated years of experience in projects with European and American automobile manufacturers and we provide products with low noise, high reliability, high protection, high temperature resistance, vibration resistance, acid corrosion resistance, salt fog resistance (GR487 certification), dust resistance, waterproof, and certified in 1000 desert tests that meet cooling and ventilation requirements of the automotive industry and satisfy automobile manufacturers' high demand for quality.
As global warming exacerbates, the future of energy transformation will be focused on green and low-carbon energy. According to the IEA report, the share of renewable energy in global electricity supply is expected to grow from 25% in 2018 to 32% in 2024. A good heat dissipation system is a key element for maintaining stable operations of energy storage systems. High power conversion and storage systems generate a lot of heat in operations.

Global warming has caused severe climate issues in recent years and countries began to pay more attention to energy conservation, carbon emissions reduction, and sustainable development of the environment. Sunonwealth's international customers with whom we have worked for many years began transitioning from traditional motors to energy-efficient DC motors and Sunonwealth has advanced greatly in energy-efficient motor technologies and environmentally friendly materials for products. Sunonwealth has accumulated technologies for energy-efficient motors and abundant experience in industrial cooperation and R&D for many years. We have established a series of ultraenergy-efficient DC ventilation products for sectors that still use traditional motors in 2015. The futuristic products consume 80% less energy and are ultra-quiet, waterproof, flame retardant, and equipped with multiple protection technologies that provide people with safer, more comfortable, and more energy-efficient ventilation products. In addition to adopting the latest motor technologies for our products, we surpassed traditional constraints in the external design of the products by integrating LED lighting and ventilation design and adopting minimalist styles for control panels. Our products have received the iF product design award in Germany and the Taiwan Excellence Silver Award. They provide the home environment with superior ventilation products.
In addition to climate change, the increasingly severe smog endemic around the world also severely threaten human health, Sunonwealth created the Flow2 One-AHR Ventilation Fan to address air pollution and smog in 2016. The product is used for bidirectional exchange of air for closed building environment. With simple installation, it provides fresh air for indoor areas and quickly expels indoor CO2, dust, formaldehyde, and other pollution. It also filters PM.25 from external air to introduce fresh air and increases the oxygen content of the indoor environment. The total heat exchange function achieves truly comfortable indoor temperature and humidity and the product received recognition in the 2017 Taiwan Excellence Award. We launched an advanced model in 2019 and won the 2020 Taiwan Excellence Award again. With an innovative external design and more efficient PM2.5 filtering, its smart functions detect air quality at home and provides refreshing air at all times so that you can enjoy forest-like good air without opening the windows.
In response to global energy conservation trends, air-conditioning used along with ceiling fans can effectively lower indoor temperature by 5-8°C. Under general temperatures, it can even replace air-conditioning and lower the air-conditioning cost of commercial spaces. As ceiling fans operate over long periods of time, higher energy efficiency standards have become more important. Sunonwealth's ceiling fans are completely lead-free in design and they meet RoHS 2.0 and REACH requirements. The fans are powered by ultra-slim motors and the fans incorporate aluminum and
