External Competition, Regulations, and Macroeconomic Environment Impact

Looking back at 2025, demand for AI-related products increased significantly; however, the market experienced substantial fluctuations in consumer demand due to intensified US–China trade competition, US tariff policies, and a slowdown in the Chinese economy. In response to these changes, Sunplus continued to provide cost-effective products in its existing automotive, acoustic, and audio/video playback businesses, while actively developing new markets to expand product sales. Meanwhile, the Company has continued to invest in AI technology and product development, accelerating the development of its next-generation Plus1 products and applications to address market competition and strengthen its competitive advantages.

Looking ahead to 2026, uncertainties and challenges remain in economic development, driven by whether the Chinese economy can recover and by the global shortage of memory chips. The Company will continue to closely monitor changes in the international economic environment and focus on the market deployment and development of its existing products. At the same time, it is actively developing new products and expects its new AI-related Plus1 products to meet market demand and establish product competitiveness.

Future Company Development Strategy

Sunplus Technology and all subsidiary entities within the group will continue to deepen their core competencies in various fields, develop new products, and actively invest in advanced technologies to enhance product value and create new products and markets. We will adjust and optimize product lines and investments, observe market trends, actively expand markets, improve performance both within and beyond our core business, and accumulate new growth momentum. Repay the long-term support of shareholders.

4.1.2 Industry Overview

Industry Status and Exhibition

Global economic conditions

According to reports from the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) and Gartner, the global semiconductor market in 2025 has been influenced by both geopolitical factors and structural AI-driven demand, resulting in highly volatile growth. The global semiconductor market size reached USD 791.7 billion in 2025, and is projected to continue growing significantly by 26% in 2026, approaching the USD 1 trillion mark. The primary growth drivers are AI-related logic ICs and memory ICs.

Taiwan’s IC industry reached NTD 6.5 trillion in 2025 and is expected to grow by 18.3% to NTD 7.7 trillion in 2026. AI remains the core driver of market expansion, not only fueling demand for cloud data centers and AI servers, but also extending into edge devices. The focus of chip and model development is shifting from “semantic understanding” toward “perception and action” with decision-making capabilities, ushering in the era of Physical AI.

Overall, the semiconductor industry is at a critical turning point, transitioning from a “digital brain” paradigm to “physical action.” High computing performance, low power consumption, diversified architectures, perception, and action capabilities will become the primary battlegrounds for future competition.

Global Economic Outlook for 2026: Seeking Resilient Growth Amid Fragility

According to the latest assessments by key international organizations, including the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), global economic growth in 2026 is expected to remain within the range of 3.1% to 3.3%. This forecast reflects a “new normal” of low growth, low inflation, but heightened uncertainty following prolonged global anti-inflation efforts. Expanding technology investments, private-sector adaptability, and gradually easing monetary policies are expected to remain the key drivers supporting growth, while geopolitical tensions and sharp shifts in trade policies continue to pose significant downside risks.

Deep Divergence in Regional Economic Growth Paths

The global economic landscape in 2026 is expected to exhibit significant regional divergence. Advanced economies are projected to grow by approximately 1.5% to 1.8%. Supported by its leadership in AI technology and continued tax reduction policies, the United States is expected to maintain growth of around 2.0%, despite ongoing pressure from the slow return of inflation to target levels. Its strong domestic market and technological capabilities remain key advantages.

In contrast, the Eurozone continues to face challenges related to energy transition and rigid labor markets. Although long-term initiatives such as the European Green Deal provide fiscal support, the region’s growth forecast remains modest at around 1.5%, while high energy costs continue to weaken the international competitiveness of its manufacturing sector.

Emerging markets and developing economies are expected to remain the primary engines of global growth, with projected growth rates above 4%. India, benefiting from digital transformation and infrastructure expansion, is forecast to achieve growth of approximately 6.1% in 2026, making it the world’s fastest-growing major economy. Meanwhile, China continues to undergo long-term structural adjustments following its real estate crisis, with projected growth slowing to between 4.2% and 4.5%. This shift in global growth momentum is profoundly reshaping semiconductor market deployment and supply chain dynamics.

Semiconductor Industry Outlook for 2026: A Historic Leap Beyond the Trillion-Dollar Threshold

The year 2026 is widely regarded as a pivotal turning point for the semiconductor industry. As AI technology transitions on a large scale from training to inference, global semiconductor market revenue is projected to reach between USD 975 billion and USD 1 trillion, setting a historic industry record.

However, the foundation of this prosperity is characterized by extreme structural asymmetry.

Structural Expansion Driven by the AI Super Cycle

The development of AI infrastructure is expanding beyond traditional cloud data centers into edge computing, smart devices, and in-vehicle computing platforms. The semiconductor market is expected to maintain a strong annual growth rate of approximately 25% to 26% in 2026. Logic ICs and memory ICs will serve as the two primary growth drivers, with both categories projected to achieve growth rates exceeding 30%.

Particularly noteworthy is the phenomenon of “value concentration.” By 2026, generative AI-related chips are expected to contribute approximately 50% of global semiconductor revenue while accounting for only 0.2% of total global chip shipments. This means that a very small number of high-end products—such as GPUs, advanced accelerators, and HBM—will dominate industry value creation, while broader traditional application markets, including PCs, smartphones, and entry-level automotive chips, are expected to experience only moderate recovery and may even face structural shortages due to resource crowding effects.


The Return of the Memory Super Cycle and Extreme Price Volatility

The memory market is projected to reach approximately USD 200 billion in revenue in 2026, accounting for one quarter of the overall semiconductor market. Driven by the insatiable demand for bandwidth and capacity in AI computing, High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) remains in a prolonged state of structural undersupply.

Analysts forecast that in the first half of 2026, prices for mainstream memory configurations could rise by as much as 50%. This sharp price volatility not only increases the cost of AI servers, but also raises concerns among automotive manufacturers developing smart cockpit systems and advanced autonomous driving technologies, as memory demand in automotive electronics continues to grow rapidly.

In terms of capital expenditure (CapEx), memory manufacturers are cautiously expanding production capacity. Capital spending for DRAM and NAND is expected to increase by 14% and 5%, reaching USD 61 billion and USD 21 billion, respectively. While this conservative expansion strategy helps preserve profitability, it also implies that if demand exceeds expectations—for example, driven by a surge in automotive edge computing—the market could quickly enter a severe supply shortage cycle.

Embracing the Golden Era of Trillion-Dollar Semiconductors and Smart Mobility

The year 2026 marks the semiconductor industry’s entry into the trillion-dollar threshold and represents a deep phase of transformation for the automotive sector’s digital evolution. Although the explosive growth of AI has caused significant short-term disruptions and resource competition for automotive electronics, the long-term deployment of AI at the vehicle edge (Edge AI) is the final piece required to enable true autonomous driving and software-defined vehicles.

For semiconductor companies, success in 2026 will depend on balancing “capturing AI-driven profitability” with “maintaining a diversified market portfolio.” Overreliance on a single application such as generative AI may expose the industry to bubble risks, while continued investment in the automotive sector—with its stringent safety requirements and long product life cycles—serves as a stabilizing cornerstone for long-term resilience.

For the Automotive Industry: A Full-Scale Battle of Computing Power, Energy, and Carbon Credits

For the automotive industry, 2026 represents a comprehensive competition centered on “computing power, electricity, and carbon credits.” Automakers must demonstrate unprecedented decisiveness in architectural innovation, direct supply chain integration, and ESG compliance. Companies capable of effectively translating AI computing efficiency into superior driving experiences, while building resilient supply chains amid complex geopolitical conditions, will emerge as winners in this major industry reshuffle and define the future of human mobility.

Toward a New Intelligent Audio Era in the AI Agent Economy

The year 2026 is widely regarded as the starting point for large-scale deployment of “Physical Intelligence,” as AI transitions from virtual cloud environments to real-world applications. According to International Data Corporation (IDC), spending on agentic AI in Taiwan is expected to account for 17% of total AI expenditure by 2029, becoming a key driver of the next wave of enterprise transformation. This shift will also drive Taiwan’s AI platform spending to grow from USD 134.32 million in 2025 to USD 608.41 million in 2029.

Intelligent Audio in the Consumer Sector: The Rise of Agentic AI

In the consumer intelligent audio industry, devices are expected to gain significantly enhanced sensing and real-time interaction capabilities, evolving from passive voice-command receivers into proactive assistants powered by agentic AI. Consumers’ expectations for audio devices are no longer limited to sound quality; instead, they increasingly value portable and practical AI assistants that can continuously sense the user’s environment, what they are listening to or watching, and proactively provide real-time translation or context-aware recommendations. These systems may further extend to initiating product suggestions, content discovery, and even assisting with purchasing decisions.

With the advancement of semiconductor process technologies entering mass production, audio chips are expected to deliver higher computational performance with lower power consumption. At the same time, improvements in latency and privacy will enable more AI inference to be performed directly on-device (edge processing), rather than relying on cloud-based computation.

However, despite strong AI-driven demand, the diversion of high-end memory and key components toward AI servers has created supply constraints in the consumer electronics sector. This has resulted in component shortages, shipment limitations, and rising costs for consumer audio products, introducing significant uncertainty into the market landscape.

In recent years, demand for computing power in AI and intelligent products has been continuously increasing. Driven by the joint development efforts of major global technology companies, AI technologies have advanced rapidly. The current AI wave has evolved from earlier visual neural networks to today’s generative AI for text, images, and self-generated content. As software and algorithm innovation continues with strong participation from startups, demand for computing platforms is also steadily rising. However, specifications remain highly uncertain, and requirements for cost and power consumption are continuously being adjusted in a dynamic and iterative manner.

Information Security Policy

Information and cybersecurity management is an indispensable part of modern corporate governance and has a profound impact on the achievement of corporate governance objectives and sustainable development. As digitalization continues to deepen, a large volume of data generated and processed during business operations—including customer information, trade secrets, and financial data—must be properly protected to prevent data leakage or cyberattacks:

To ensure the security and stability of information operations, provide reliable information services, and safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets, the Company complies with relevant laws and regulations, competent authority requirements, and contractual obligations with customers. The Company adopts the following cybersecurity strategies to mitigate internal and external threats and ensure the smooth operation of business activities.

  1. Establish comprehensive information security procedures: Develop information security regulations to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets, while maintaining business continuity and complying with legal, regulatory, and operational requirements.
  2. Define clear organizational responsibilities: Establish a dedicated information security unit with clearly defined roles and responsibilities to effectively implement information security management.
  3. Establish incident response mechanisms: Implement information security incident reporting and response procedures to ensure rapid response, effective containment, and proper handling of security incidents.

Analysis of increase and decrease changes: 1. The decrease in operating profit was mainly due to a decrease in revenue during the current year. 2. The decrease in net non-operating income and expenses was mainly due to a decrease in gains from disposal of equity-method investees during the current year. 3. The decreases in profit before tax and net profit for the current period were mainly due to decreases in operating profit and non-operating income during the current year. 4. The decrease in other comprehensive income for the current period was mainly due to a decrease in exchange differences arising from the translation of financial statements of foreign operations during the current year. 5. The decrease in total comprehensive income for the current period was mainly due to a decrease in net profit during the current year.

5.2.2 Expected sales volume and its basis, possible impact on the company's future financial business and corresponding plans:

The company's business units make decisions based on sales forecasts of existing products, new product development progress, customer production demand forecasts, and business development strategies. The Company mainly uses long-term funding sources to finance capital expenditures, and there should be no significant impact of insufficient funds in the short term. Moreover, our company has a solid cooperative relationship with wafer foundries, packaging and testing manufacturers, so there should be no worries about the supply of products required for sales.

5.5 Long-Term Investment

The company’s investments in affiliates are primarily focused on strategic needs for long-term development. In 2025, the company recognized an equity-method investment loss of NT$51,225 thousand. Moving forward, the company will continue to prudently evaluate its investment plans under the same principles.

5.6 Risk Management

5.6.1 The Impact of Interest Rate, Exchange Rate changes and Inflation on the company’s profits and losses and future response measures:

  1. Interest Rate: In view of the rapid changes in the overall economic conditions at home and abroad in recent years, and the governments of various countries adjusting the economic situation through interest rate policies, the interest rates have fluctuated. Usually, the financial unit collects relevant information on the trend of interest rate changes, and evaluates the feasible plan of interest rate hedging measures and its benefit evaluation to reduce the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the company's profit and loss; in addition, the cash position on the account is excluded. In addition to continuing to use high-security time deposits as the main capital allocation, the decline in interest rates will have an adverse impact on the company's profits. We will seek short-term investments with higher returns and good safety to increase the overall investment return on funds.

  2. Exchange Rate: The company's foreign currency assets are mainly US dollar fixed deposits and US dollar-denominated accounts receivable. Foreign currency liabilities are mainly US dollar-denominated accounts payable. Transaction pricing is also mostly based on US dollars. The appreciation of the New Taiwan dollar against the US dollar has a negative impact on revenue and Gross profit has been adversely affected. Currently, in addition to the natural hedging effect of assets and liabilities offsetting each other, measures such as increasing short-term U.S. dollar borrowings and reducing net U.S. dollar positions are being used to reduce the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the company's profits and losses.

  3. Inflation: International crude oil prices and various raw material prices fluctuate greatly, and under the adjustment of exchange rate and interest rate policies of central banks of various countries, the overall economic environment presents inflation or deflation. When consumption in the international market shrinks, it will relatively affect the shipments of high unit price consumer electronics products, which will have an adverse impact on the company's profits. However, the company still strives to develop high-growth emerging country markets to reduce the number of developed country markets. Growth is slowing down; and when the international market is in an inflationary trend, rising prices will easily lead to an increase in procurement costs, which will have a relatively negative impact on profits. However, the company will continue to introduce new products and cost reduction solutions to maintain profit levels, in order to reduce the impact of inflation on the company's profit and loss.

5.6.4 The impact of major policy and legal changes domestically and internationally on the company's financial business and countermeasures: The company's daily operations are handled in accordance with relevant domestic and foreign laws and regulations, and it is always necessary to pay attention to the development of domestic and foreign policies and changes in laws and regulations, so as to fully grasp and respond to changes in the market environment. Changes in domestic and foreign policies and laws in recent years have not significantly affected the company's financial business.

5.6.5 The impact of technological changes (including information security risks) and industrial changes on the company's financial business and countermeasures:

The continuous development of semiconductor technology towards more precise manufacturing processes can certainly reduce the unit cost of IC chips,

86


but it has greatly increased product research and development expenses. On the one hand, the company actively develops consumer multimedia products with high added value and in the mainstream market; on the other hand, it also develops niche automotive products with long product life cycles. One is to make full use of the advantages of advanced process technology that can reduce costs, and to share R&D costs with a large number of features in the mainstream market; the other is to share R&D costs with a longer product life cycle.

In order to maintain the normal operation of the company's business and information services, and avoid internal and external deliberate or accidental threats, relevant operations and risks are reviewed on a rolling basis every year.

Assessing the destruction, leakage, and loss of operations, services, and data caused by hacker attacks is still the biggest risk affecting the confidentiality and availability of company information assets.

In response to risks, the company continues to invest in updating the multi-layer defense structure and facilities, strengthen supervision, backup and restore drills to minimize risk losses.

Short, medium and long-term climate-related risks and opportunities. • Define short-term (1-3 years), medium-term (3-5 years) and long-term (5-10 years) climate-related risks and opportunities according to the existing internal target management schedule, and assess the impact of climate risk factors on the company's Potential implications for strategic, operational and financial planning.
• Introduced the IS014064-1:2018 greenhouse gas inventory standard self-inspection, and will continue to promote carbon reduction programs and other practices in the future, hoping to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.
Climate risks and opportunities that have a significant impact on the organization's business, strategy and financial planning. Through the climate-related risk identification process, major risks and opportunities were identified as follows:
Two major risks:
• Emerging regulations require enhanced disclosure of carbon emissions: According to the "Sustainable Development Roadmap for Listed Overseas Companies" issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission in March 2022, Sunplus is a listed oversea company with a capital of NT$ 5 billion to 10 billion, which should be completed in 2025. The investigation was completed in 2026. Sunplus expects to complete the internal verification in the second quarter of 2025 and Expected to complete external validation in the

93

second quarter of 2026.
- Carbon pricing mechanism: Taiwan will start imposing a carbon fee in 2025. Although it is mainly targeted at large emitters with an annual carbon emission of 25,000 tons, it is not ruled out that it will continue to increase at an annual rate of 10% in the future. Sunplus will continue to follow policy developments.
One opportunities:
- Develop low-carbon products and service markets: We will be committed to research and development of low-energy, high-efficiency key components, provide the best solutions, and fulfill our responsibilities for environmental protection, energy conservation and carbon reduction.

The potential impact of different scenarios on the organization's business, strategy and financial planning.
- Sunplus conducts simulations based on the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and the 1.5°C Scenario (2DS) developed by the International Energy Agency (IEA), taking 2025 as the base year to estimate the carbon reduction ratio of Sunplus Technology.
- In order to achieve the NDCs greenhouse gas reduction target in 2050, conduct energy-saving management for Scope 2, which accounts for a large proportion of greenhouse gas output.
- According to data from the "Taiwan Climate Change Projection Information and Adaptation Knowledge Platform (TCCIP)" (AR6 statistical downscaled version), extreme high temperatures may cause temporary power shortages, but the company has a complete uninterruptible power supply system and emergency generator system and Data backup measures will prevent operational risks.
- The company's main business is IC design and is not involved in IC production activities. The risk of production line shutdown due to prolonged drought has not been included in major risk considerations.

(3) Risk Management(Climate-related risk management procedure from recognition, evaluation, and management)

Principles Practices
Procedure for recognition, evaluation, and management The "Environmental Function Committee" under the Interdepartmental Sustainable Development Group follows the framework disclosed by TCFD to identify climate-related risks, mainly through the following four steps:

94

| | (1) Identification of risk issues
(2) Determination of major risks issues
(3) Identify significant opportunity issues
(4) Develop mitigation or adaptation options. |
| --- | --- |
| Organizational procedure for managing climate-related risks | • In accordance with ISO 14001, manage with the PDCA management cycle to ensure the consistency between the company's environmental protection goals and implementation strategies, and review the adjustment and mitigation actions at the management review meeting every year to ensure that the goals are achieved.
• Cooperate with the existing ISO 9001 supplier sustainability management mechanism, ISO 14001 environmental management system and ISO45001 occupational safety and health management system, conduct supplier screening through ESG orientation, and conduct annual on-site or written audits for important suppliers. |
| Integrate management procedure into overall risk management | The "Environmental Function Committee", an interdepartmental group for sustainable development, conducts internal communication or meeting discussions in accordance with the TCFD framework, and combines the company's existing ISO 14001 risk assessment operations to identify important issues, incorporate climate change issues into risk management, and formulate control measures based on this strategy and action plan. |

(4) Metrics and Goals

Principles Practices
Disclose the indicators used by the organization to assess climate-related risks and opportunities in the process of strategy and risk control. The relevant risk indicators used by Sunplus Technology to assess the climate include electricity consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
Disclose Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 (if applicable) greenhouse gas emissions and related risks Since 2012, self-inspection of greenhouse gas scope 1 and 2 has been carried out every year in accordance with the ISO 14064-1 standard. Scope 3 is not applicable and has not been disclosed. The inventory items are mainly the use of purchased electricity. The results of the verification over the years are disclosed in the sustainability report "Environmental Information Output Quantitative Statistics" chapter.
Describe the organization's goals and level of achievement for managing climate-related risks and opportunities • Starting from 2012, the target is to reduce the total electricity consumption by 1% every year, and the target

95

| | will be reached from 2011 (base year) to 2025.
• Set indirect greenhouse gas emissions as a target to reduce by 2% per year; The target for indirect greenhouse gas emissions in 2025 was set at 60.97 tons of CO₂e. After consulting guidance and actual verification in 2025, emissions were reduced by 390.6267 tons of CO₂e, successfully achieving the target. |
