Sunonwealth Electric Machine Industry Co., Ltd. 2024 Business Report
2024 was a year of challenges and opportunities. In an economic environment of high interest rates, slowing economic recovery, and intensified disputes between China and the United States, Sunonwealth maintained its corporate resilience, responded to the rapidly changing industrial environment with caution and flexibility, upheld its core values, and continued to pursue sustainable development and steady growth.
Over the past year, the global market still suffered from weak demand suppressed by high interest rates and inventory adjustments by end customers, which continued to impact the revenue from industrial applications, laptops, home appliances, and distribution channels. However, the rapid development of AI applications has significantly increased the demand for AI servers. On the other hand, the demand in automotive applications has continued to grow steadily due to the widespread adoption and extension of related applications. Therefore, despite the difficult environment, Sunonwealth continued to thrive and achieved outstanding results with the joint efforts of all employees.
Looking forward, geopolitical tensions, trade tariffs, and inflation continue to make the global economic outlook highly uncertain. However, key industries that have attracted high attention such as generative artificial intelligence, robotics, electric vehicles, and new energy, are expected to continue flourishing in the following years. We will continue to invest in the development and innovation in related industries, accelerate, improve, and diversify our global manufacturing footprints, and uphold the concept of sustainable development to enhance the company's long-term corporate value.

In terms of the achievement rate of the Company's 2024 business plan, we have been continuously affected by the high rates to curb end-market demand and inventory adjustment at customers. The Company has faced weakening demand for industrial and medical equipment, home appliances, NB and distributors. Overall, demand has fallen by 10 to 20% across the whole year. However, as the AI trend sustains, server network-related industries grew by more than 40%, becoming the main driver supporting annual revenues. Additionally, automotive applications grew by more than 30% even given the global automotive industry declined, that was mainly due to the higher automotive electronic application driving the demand for thermal solutions. Therefore, consolidated revenues increased by 13% compared to the previous year, meeting 106% of our target profits. Benefiting from the better product mix of AI servers, improved production efficiency and the depreciation of the New Taiwan Dollar and RMB, the Company expanded gross margin along with foreign exchange income, leading to its net profits grew by 12% compared to the previous year, achieving 102% of our target. In terms of income and expenditures, net cash outflows for the parent company amounted to NT$0.315 billion and the closing cash and cash equivalents amounted to NT$1.858 billion. The cash flow on the consolidated financial statements showed a net cash inflow of NT$0.648 billion and closing cash and cash equivalents of NT$4.678 billion. The Company's funding status remains healthy. The Company invested NT$580 million in research and development expenditures in the fiscal year and invested NT$893 million in R&D based on the consolidated financial statements. The Company has completed high-efficiency design projects for customers in six major sectors (IT and office equipment, servers and network, industrial and medical equipment, appliances, automobiles, and LED) as well as the development of the next-generation passive heat dissipation components, liquid-cooled heat dissipation modules, and important components sufficient for meeting the demand for the future evolution heat dissipation technologies.
2025 Business Plan Overview
In response to the environmental factors of 2025, the Company has formulated the following important business plans. 1. Expand the customer base and market share of AI servers and automotive markets: The demand for efficient computing increases the demand for cooling solutions, and we will capture business opportunities. 2. Continue to invest in liquid cooling technology and provide a full range of cooling system services and products: Strengthen the competitiveness of liquid cooling and modules, expand the scope of product services, and enhance partnerships with customers. 3. Diversify product portfolio and develop new markets and new customers through strategic alliances and cooperation with brands: Seek strategic alliances with local leading brands to increase product exposure and increase market presence. 4. Improve the global manufacturing footprints to meet customers' NCNT requirements: Mitigate geopolitical risks and increase production flexibility, and reduce production costs. 5. Introduce AI for intelligent and automated production: Continue to increase the coverage of automated production and establish standardized specifications and processes to stabilize
- 7 -
product quality and improve operational efficiency. 6. Strengthen supply chain configuration, effectively control production schedule, and reduce inventory levels: Establish a complete inventory management system, optimize supply chain partnerships, and effectively monitor inventory liquidity. 7. Work with upstream and downstream partners to advance sustainable development goals: To implement the energy transformation plan, we continue to promote energy-saving and carbon-reduction activities and introduce ISO 14067 product carbon footprint management. 8. Resource integration, organizational adjustment, and talent retention and training program: Optimize the organization structure and provide more flexible benefits to attract, cultivate, and retain talents. After adjustments for production and sales and changes implemented in response to the market, products, customers, and sales strategy, the Company plans to ship 110 million units this year.
Future Development Strategy
As a global leading thermal solution provider, Sunonwealth provides diversified and professional thermal products and services. In the past two years, the rapid development of AIenabled technology has driven the innovation of hardware and software equipment design in many industries and continuously powered innovation and rapid growth in the cooling solution industry. The rapid growth of AI training and large-scale computing causes high-performance processors to generate more heat during operations, which leads to the development of more efficient and energy-saving cooling solutions. Larger heat dissipation modules and liquid cooling technology have also become important heat dissipation solutions for data centers. Sunonwealth thus continues to strengthen the research, development, and innovation of existing fan product technologies, and expands key products to incorporate larger EC energy-saving cooling technology, higher-watt liquid cooling solutions, and immersion cooling. Examples include liquid cooling solutions with reservoir and pumping units (RPU) for servers in data center, rear door fan walls, sidecars, water pumps, and other key components development. We also enhanced Sunonwealth's cooling product portfolio to meet the ultra-large-scale, highperformance computing, and sustainable cooling needs of next-generation data center customers. In response to intensifying climate change, attaining net zero emissions has become an important issue in the product development of Sunonwealth's global customers. In recent years, the Company has also actively invested in large-scale energy-saving EC cooling fans to meet the demand of the industry for high-energy-consuming heating and air-conditioning, energy, and refrigeration and provide more energy-efficient cooling and ventilation products.
In terms of its global manufacturing footprints, Sunonwealth continues to expand global manufacturing capacity to multiple locations to increase the flexibility of overall production operations and reduce the risks of rising protectionism in international trade. In addition to continuing to expand the new factory in the Philippines and increasing the production capacity of this manufacturing site, the Company is also actively exploring production possibilities in other countries and closely cooperating with customer trends and changes in the global economy.
- 8 -
We also introduced AI intelligent automated production systems to improve operational efficiency, control product quality in each area, and reduce production costs to meet customer delivery commitments and increase market share.
Impact of the Competitive Environment, Regulatory Environment, and Overall Business Environment
Businesses face several challenges due to continuous changes in the global political and economic environment. External factors such as the continued escalation of trade disputes between China and the United States, increased geopolitical risks, global tariffs, inflation, and more rigorous ESG regulations affect businesses' cost control, supply chain stability, and market competitiveness. In recent years, Sunonwealth has actively expanded new manufacturing sites, strengthened supply chain risk management, and utilized ESG strategies to stabilize operations. We continue to expand the production capacity of the Philippines plant to meet customers' diversified production location strategies. We also worked with the supply chain to build a digital carbon inventory system to implement carbon reduction targets, enhance low-carbon transformation strategies, and jointly realize the vision of sustainable development and ESG with the supply chain to enhance overall competitiveness. In 2024, Sunonwealth obtained ISO 50001 Energy Management System Certification, demonstrating the Company’s steadfast commitment to sustainable development and energy management. We actively source low-carbon materials and develop technologies with lower energy consumption to meet prevailing market demand and provide cooling solutions that comply with global regulatory requirements and satisfy customer product development.
Over the past 45 years, Sunonwealth has actively responded to changes and technological innovations, and has taken "solving the world's thermal issues" as the core for technology and service development to provide customers with cooling products that best meet market demand. By enhancing manufacturing capacity for a diverse range of industries, we increase the flexibility of business operations and build a solid foundation of cooling soulution technologies. The Company will continue to strengthen resilience, cope with the uncertainties and risks of the external environment, monitor the needs of the fastest-growing industries, and achieve its vision of continuously improvement of corporate value and sustainable operations.
Lastly, I would like to thank all shareholders for their trust and support for the Company. It is your support that has made us what we are today. We shall continue to work hard, innovate, and improve, in order to create greater value for the Company and our shareholders together.

Those ch,uged with governance (inclusive of the Audit Committee)缸e responsible for overseeing the Company[’] s financial reporting process.
Auditors[’] Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives 缸 e to obtain reasonable assur 組 ce about whether the parent comp 組 y only or financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to仕aud error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a gua.r 組 tee 也at 組 audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements c 組 arise from fraud or error 組 d are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users個ken on the basis of these parent comp 組 y only financial statements.
As p訂t of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the p盯ent 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 resul自1g仕om error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery﹜intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the ovenide of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that 訂e appropriate in the circumstances, but not for也e pu叩ose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's intern剖 control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and出e reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of managemer哎[,] 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出e Company[’] s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material unce1tainty exjsts, we 盯e required to draw attention in Our auditors[’] repo1t to the related disclosures in the p盯ent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions 缸e based on the audit evidence obtained up to也e date of our auditors' repo1t. However, future events or conditions may cause也e Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, struc如re and content of the parent company only financial statem凹的, including the disclosures, and whether the p訂ent company on1 y financial statements represent也e underlying 包·ansactions and events in a m缸mer that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding 也e financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on也e p訂閱t company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

From the matters communicated wi也those we determine也ose charged w1也governance, ma前ers th剖 were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and are therefore the key audit matters.
