2022 Business Report of TTET Union Corporation

I. Operating principles and implementation

The Company’s operating revenue amounted to NT$20.217 billion in 2022, representing an increase of approximately 20.54% over 2021, while the consolidated operating revenue amounted to NT$24.677 billion. Before tax, the Company’s net income amounted to NT$1.502 billion in 2022, representing a decrease of approximately 1.57% over 2021.

The growth of 2022 revenue mainly benefitted from the price of finished products rising due to the rising raw material prices. However, a decline in profit is inevitable due to the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ukraine-Russia war, NTD depreciation, and global inflation. Nonetheless, these impacts have been relatively limited compared to other industries, thanks to the overall pandemic containment and economic stability of Taiwan, as well as the dedication and contribution of our colleagues in the related areas for achieving such results.

The Company has been focusing on the domestic market and the production and sale of soybeans related products (such as, soybean oil, soybean powder, soybean flakes, whole fat soybean powder and genetically and non-genetically modified edible soybeans) and a number of vegetable oil products (such as palm oil, canola oil or sunflower oil). Currently, most of the products of the Company are at the leading positions. However, we dare not to be content with the results. We will continue to start from our core advantages, concentrate on the development of our industry, constantly improve quality and endeavor to enhance service standards. We hope to meet customer needs through listening to the voice of the customer, and to build the foundation for the Company’s long-term development under the guidance of corporate culture of “ bona fides .”

The Company operates in a bulk material/domestic need industry, where all the raw materials used are imported (paid in USD), while the revenues are mostly in NTD. Therefore, the essential tasks required to be done well by the Company include ensuring the stable supply and arrival of raw materials, catching the good time to buy raw materials/USD (in particular when the market prices are greatly volatile), and controlling the risk positions of raw materials/USD.

The issues of concern in the industry have recently included the following: 1. logistic challenges: there are many variables for the raw material arrival from origin, ports of loading and sea conditions along the journeys. We will continuously monitor the impacts and take countermeasures whenever it requires. 2. Livestock issue: the animal epidemic and elevated costs of feeds have continued to impact the prosperity of the domestic husbandry. We will monitor the impacts and take precautions. 3. COVID-19 pandemic: while the COVID-19 pandemic has been slowing down, the variables remain. We will monitor its impacts on the needs for our products.

V. Research and Development:

The Company is committed to the research and development of plant protein and edible oil products; in the future, related products will be launched to satisfy customers’ needs for one-stop procurement.

VI. Business Prospect

  • Oil products: The Company is the largest domestic supplier for 18-liter bottled ” ”

  • edible oil under the brand names, “Master and “Vitality. The oil products include soybean vegetable oil, canola oil, palm oil and deep-fried oil. The restaurant channel is the targeted market for the 18-liter bottled edible oil; therefore, demand is directly linked to the demand, increase and decrease of eating-out population, and economic changes. With the efforts of food safety and upgrade of brand value, it is expected that the sales volume of bottled oil will be stable.

The Company is also the largest domestic supplier of bulk packed soybean oil and canola oil, and has also launched the bulk packed sunflower oil and palm oil to satisfy our customers, who are primarily food processing plants, chemical plants and small packaging oil plants.

Taking into account the importance of edible oils to life in general, the Company will continuously provide high-quality oil products to the clients without safety concerns, as well as supplied stably and priced reasonably.

  • Soybean powder: The Company is the largest domestic supplier of soybean powder. Its soybean powder products cover high/low protein soybean powder, soybean flakes, whole-fat soybean powder, and peeled whole-fat soybean powder, etc. primarily supplied to the feeds-related industry. Soybean powder contains plenty of soy protein, which is deemed the most affordable protein source of the feed industry in the world; therefore, it is an alternative to other vegetable protein ( e.g., canola meal) and even animal protein (such as fish powder). While domestic husbandry has faced competition from imported meat products, the overall scale of animal raising has been stable, thus the need for soybean powder has not changed greatly. In addition to the advantage of differentiation and quality, the Company’s soybean powder products have the strength in low-cost resulting from large-scale production. Therefore, we are confident of facing challenges in the future although competition is fierce in the industry.

  • 7 -

Other aspects: The Company’s 18-liter bottled soybean oil exported to Japan is well-accepted by local customers due to its good quality, and its delivery remains stable currently. The Company’s small-sized products (2.0/2.6/3.0 liter) are favored by customers from the food and beverage service channels, with the sales volume growing stably. In addition, the Non-GMO soybean products imported by the Company as an agency are being sold continuously. In the future, we will seek more opportunities to serve as an agency for more famous brands to exert the synergy of channels.
