I. Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
In 2025, Taiwan's economy demonstrated steady growth, supported by strong global demand for artificial intelligence and a recovery in the technology sector. However, industries across the board also faced rising production costs due to surging prices of raw materials and energy. In addition, compliance requirements and the global push for energy conservation and carbon reduction within supply chains posed further challenges.
The Company's operations span three major sectors: SME business communications, smart building solutions, and intelligent electromechanical systems with a focus on energy saving and carbon reduction. Although the transition to mobile and digital solutions has led to a decline in call volume for traditional wired business PBX systems, SMEs continue to show steady annual demand for system upgrades. With the Company maintaining a market share of nearly $70\%$ , the market remains stable. In the smart building sector, the number of housing completions decreased in 2025 due to labor shortages, resulting in lower-than-expected revenue. However, the government's strong policy push toward building energy efficiency is expected to become a new growth driver in 2026.
In the area of energy-saving and intelligent electromechanical systems, significant progress was achieved due to government efforts to promote energy conservation and the manufacturing industry's push toward low-carbon and smart transformation. Notably, our carbon inventory, carbon management, and energy management services integrating Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT), system platform development, data collection and analysis were further enhanced by our consulting services in carbon and energy management. By the end of 2025, we successfully partnered with a government-affiliated foundation to secure projects related to carbon inventory and energy management, which are expected to contribute new revenue streams in 2026.
1. Results of Business Plan Implementation
In 2025, in addition to continuing organizational optimization and cost reduction efforts, the Company also developed a series of forward-looking and innovative solutions in AIoT, energy conservation and carbon reduction, and business communication applications, aiming to tap into high-margin market opportunities. For the year, the standalone operating revenue amounted to NT$464.31 million, with a net loss after tax of NT$12.25 million.
On a consolidated basis, the total operating revenue reached NT$732.51 million, with a consolidated net loss after tax of NT$5.62 million.
2. 2025 Financial Revenue and Expenditure Analysis and Profitability Analysis

(3) Dividend Policy and Implementation Status of The Company
- Dividend Policy stipulated in the Articles of Incorporation
(A) The dividend policy stipulated in The Company's articles of incorporation is as follows: According to the profitability of the current fiscal year, The Company should allocate 1% to 10% of profits to distribute employee remuneration; No less than 10% of the employee compensation under this item shall be allocated to grassroots employees, and the remuneration for directors and supervisors should not exceed 5%. The recipients of employee remuneration may include employees of subsidiary companies who meet certain conditions. However, when The Company still has accumulated losses, these losses should be offset.
The ratio of employee remuneration and remuneration for directors and supervisors, and the decision to distribute employee remuneration in the form of stocks or cash, must be approved by a resolution of the board of directors with the attendance of more than two-thirds of the directors and the consent of the majority of the attending directors, and must be reported to the shareholders' meeting.
The profitability of the current fiscal year referred to in the preceding paragraph means the pre-tax income of the current fiscal year minus the income before distributing employee remuneration and remuneration for directors and supervisors.
(B) If The Company has profits in the annual closing of accounts, they will be allocated in the following order:
(1) Payment of taxes.
(2) Offset accumulated losses.
(3) Set aside 10% as legal reserve. However, when the legal reserve has reached the total amount of capital, this limit no longer applies.
(4) Provision or reversal of special reserve in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.
(5) Payment of special stock dividends.
(6) The remaining balance is added to undistributed earnings from previous fiscal years and distributed as dividends to shareholders. The Board of Directors will prepare a proposed profit distribution plan. If the profit distribution plan includes cash dividends, the Board of Directors is authorized to distribute them through a special resolution and report to the shareholders' meeting.
The dividend distribution policy of the company takes into account factors such as the current and future investment environment, funding needs, domestic and international competitive conditions, and capital budgeting, while considering the interests of shareholders, balancing dividends, and long-term financial planning as principles. The proportion of cash dividends in the aforementioned shareholder dividends for each fiscal year shall generally not exceed 50%, but shall not be less than 5%.
When the company has no losses, it may distribute all or part of the legal reserve surplus and capital surplus in accordance with the provisions of the Company Law as new shares or cash. When distributing the legal reserve surplus as new shares or cash, it shall be limited to the portion exceeding 25% of the paid-in capital.
If the company, in accordance with the provisions mentioned above, distributes all or part of the legal reserve surplus and capital surplus in accordance with the Company Law as cash, the Board of Directors is authorized to distribute them through a special resolution and report it at the most recent shareholders' meeting.

This not only helps us achieve cost efficiency but also increases the likelihood of successful new product development, ultimately achieving a win-win situation for both The Company and our customers.
- Technology or products developed successfully
As a company that has been dedicated to research and development since its founding in 1980, we have established R&D centers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Our engineers have an average of more than 10 years of experience in telecommunications and network product development, making us a leading force in the domestic market and the main driver of our continuous growth.
Our main focus is on the research and development, as well as the manufacturing, of a full range of professional-grade communication equipment, including commercial digital communication system products, e-Home systems, wired and wireless communication transmission system equipment, voice transmission system equipment, integrated access equipment, and fiber transmission system equipment. We are the only company in Taiwan that integrates voice communication, network communication, wireless communication, optical communication, and mobile communication services.
Our various products have been recognized by professional organizations and customers both domestically and internationally, and have won awards such as the "Science Park Innovation Product Award" for the UMA indoor base station, the "Science Park Innovation Product Award" and the "National Quality Award" for the e-Home system, the "CES2011 Innovation Award" and the "Science Park Innovation Product Award" for the intelligent IP exchange machine IG6600, and the "Best Supplier Award for 2013" from Japanese communications giant OKI, among others. Additionally, the first iPad Docking Phone in Taiwan received Apple MFi "Made for iPad" certification.
In response to global trends, we have launched products that integrate voice, data, imaging, and mobile communication. Our main products include broadband communication products, Industry 4.0 smart electromechanical products, smart phone business communication systems, 4G LTE Small Cells, cloud-based intelligent service gateways, cloud-based smart video doorbells, and smart home systems, among others.
Our newly developed "Unmanned Inspection" solution for factories uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to compute the health index (Hx) of inspected equipment in the vibration and temperature domains. This solution provides precise alerts and predictive maintenance schedules automatically, greatly improving the deficiencies of traditional "manual inspection". The sensors used in the Unmanned Inspection solution have built-in calculation modules (MCUs) that leverage machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to obtain the median value of vibration during normal operation of the inspected electrical machinery, which serves as a health benchmark. The weighted computation then produces a health index for the electrical machinery, which is classified into nine levels (H9 being the healthiest and H1 being the least healthy) to accurately express warning and alert states. This is a unique and significant innovation in the market. Based on the health index levels, it can accurately suggest predictive maintenance schedules, avoiding the cost of "over-maintenance" and evolving from traditional "preventive maintenance" to "predictive maintenance".
The awareness of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) is increasingly prevalent, with government regulations in various regions and supply chain requirements across industries. It has become essential for businesses to establish ESG capabilities. TECOM, as a leading company, has introduced the ESG-Ready management platform to assist enterprises in rapidly establishing comprehensive ESG capabilities.
The TECOM ESG-Ready solution is designed with a comprehensive modular approach, allowing enterprises to choose and deploy the necessary functionalities at their own pace. This step-by-step approach enables the establishment of ESG capabilities and achieves optimal investment outcomes.

Companies must comply with these regulations and meet supply chain order requirements, making this a key focus in business operations. Meanwhile, "smart manufacturing" continues to be a significant and ongoing priority for governments, which have also designated "smart machinery" as a key part of industrial innovation policies. This clearly shows that "intelligent automation" and "AI integration" are crucial steps toward industrial upgrading. TECOM Company has always been at the forefront of the industry, from network transmission services to mobile applications, from data collection to cloud services, from IoT to IIoT, and now aiming for AIOT and AI adoption and solution-based one-stop services are the company's primary operational goals and development focus. These aim to assist industries in complying with government environmental regulations, as well as accelerating the transformation and intelligent upgrading of smart manufacturing through AI integration.
With growing awareness and implementation of ESG, alongside increasingly stringent environmental regulations by governments worldwide and rising supply chain demands across industries, enterprises must build robust ESG capabilities. Our company takes the lead by launching the ESG-Ready platform to help businesses quickly establish comprehensive ESG capabilities. Tongxun has independently developed four major ESG Ready platforms: EMS and AI Carbon Management Platform focus on management-based carbon reduction, while SOM and CEm focus on equipment-based carbon reduction. Under this framework, Tongxun offers a solution-based one-stop service that includes both "equipment carbon reduction" and "management carbon reduction" functions. To support enterprises in taking the first step toward "net-zero emissions," Tongxun has introduced an AI-powered high-tech greenhouse gas inventory solution (AI Carbon Management Platform).
Recently, there has been growing social consensus in Taiwan regarding net-zero emissions and sustainable development. Enterprises understand and recognize that net-zero is a social responsibility, a government mandate, and a requirement for export orders. To assist companies in smoothly completing greenhouse gas inventories, Tongxun offers the "AI High-Tech Proxy Inventory Service," which helps enterprises easily get started and addresses two major concerns in current inventories: (1) accuracy (human errors) and (2) reliability (inventory procedures). Heavy power-consuming equipment in factories across industries, such as chillers and air compressors, often wastes electricity when failing to meet the Energy Bureau's standards under the Ministry of Environment. This can cause power waste amounting to millions of New Taiwan dollars, and rising electricity prices make this issue more severe. Tongxun provides a "Heavy Equipment Energy Efficiency Parameter AI High-Tech Proxy Measurement Service," which measures various parameters and uses AI machine learning technology to accurately calculate equipment energy efficiency, comparing it with the standard efficiency values published by the Energy Bureau. This service helps factories identify electricity waste and additional carbon emissions data, providing a strong basis for energy saving and cost reduction.
In addition to the AI-powered proxy measurement services mentioned above for the factory's three major high-energy-consuming equipment—chillers, air compressors, and large motors—recent government policies promoting carbon trading and carbon pricing have accelerated enterprises' adoption of electricity management (EMS) platforms. TECOM offers a robust EMS solution that provides enterprises with both EMS platform implementation and outsourced EMS electricity management services.
Equipment carbon reduction, also known as "equipment carbon reduction," is achieved through efficient equipment operation, which is more tangible and quantifiable compared to management-based carbon reduction methods, making it increasingly popular for energy conservation and carbon reduction.

Data can be uploaded to the backend inspection database and the on-premise SOM platform service with one click. Combined with three categories of report services required by various levels of client personnel, this forms an integrated "trinity" service.
-
TECOM has also launched a factory-wide motor health management data statistics software module. This module performs multiple statistical analyses on the health status of all motors across the factory. Supervisors do not need to access each motor's individual database; they can understand the entire factory's motor health status at a glance from the statistical analysis results. Furthermore, based on these multiple statistical outcomes, factory maintenance baselines and standards can be established, existing policies can be revised and improved, and the overall maintenance performance of the factory can be tracked.
Electricity prices in our country have risen multiple times over the past one to two years, with no expectation of decrease in the foreseeable future. The installation of EMS has become urgent for enterprises. Effective electricity management requires various electricity usage data to assist enterprises in quickly identifying and replacing low-efficiency equipment while immediately implementing carbon reduction measures. For enterprise customers, delaying carbon reduction measures even for a day can have a direct and negative impact on profitability.
To achieve effective management, robust software with powerful management functions is necessary. The EMS introduced by TECOM has six main functions:
