Attachment I
2021 Business Report
COVID-19 continued to affect the whole world in 2021. Vaccination has not been extensively carried out and as quickly as expected. It was worsened by the new variants of the virus known as Delta and Omicron, to the effect that many countries were compelled to quarantine their cities and cordon the border. The principal product line of Unitech was also hit hard by the pandemic, as quarantine of cities and factories was in effect in some regions and countries. Production schedules of the customers were in disarray. It was echoed with unanticipated sales that the demand for the product has been adjusted downward several times. It was further affected by the shortage in supply of IC and the displacement effect of the integrated use of IC by customers for new models as principal items that made them change the production and sale plans repeatedly, which in turn affected the sale of the Company and smooth shipment. In addition, the prices of materials in 2021 skyrocketed. It was echoed by the strong US Dollar. Under these unfavorable factors in the operation environment, the revenue of the year fell by 9.06%.
Revenue from Rigid-Flex Board fell by 60% in 2021 for 2 main reasons. First of all, the previous models are the wearables. The rebound of the pandemic hit the demand market directly and the overall demand plummeted by 68%. Secondly, the design and development of new products are delayed, as the customers cannot seek a breakthrough in certain technical problems as expected, which in turn delay the progress for 2 quarters of the year. This also affected the overall revenue in 2021.
In 2021, the global sale of motor vehicles was about 81,000,000 units, which was an overall growth of 19%. This helped to bring about growth for Unitech by approximately 21%. Yet, the shortage of supply in IC was still critical that the shipment of some high-end models was hindered. It is expected that the shortage problem of IC could be alleviated in 2022 that automotives could have a significant level of contribution and growth.
The introduction and growth of HDI NB in 2021 were contributed by the persistent demand for WORK FROM HOME (WFH) that remote work and distance learning emerged as strong demands. The incremental growth of the demand for high-end HDI NB surfaced as the result of the hard work of Unitech in this area. Although this item could not constitute the principal contribution to the Company, it will be promising, as demonstrated by its growth in the initial year of launch.
The whole world will get to coexist with COVID-19 in 2022, followed by the lift of quarantine and resumption to normal lives as vaccination is carried out extensively and a number of new drugs have come into being. These will help to boost economic growth. Unitech has a crystal clear policy of development in EV, the launch of the accelerated receiving of the 5G mm wave infrastructure, AI, HPC, and IOT, and has
6
made an effort in the application end of the above high-end products, such as small cell station, AR/VR wearables, IoV, and HPC. Significant progress has been made between Unitech and the customers in a concerted effort. We believe that growth could be achieved as anticipated once the above industries developed into the stage of high growth. As always, Unitech will side with the customers now and in the future, for joint development of the market and solutions for problems. Unitech will provide customers with the best solutions in order to achieve environmental care, sustainable development and the creation of an ecological circle where all participants are winners. The management team of Unitech has mapped out the long-term plan and deployment in 2022 and the few years ahead, and expects to emerge as a major participant in the areas of various types of high-end and advanced products to achieve the goal of stable growth in operation.
2021 Financial and Business Performance
The consolidated revenue of the Company amounted to NT$13.502 billion in 2021, which was a decline of 6.15% from the same period of 2020. Net consolidated income of the same year amounted to NT$242 million, and net consolidated income attributable to the shareholders of the parent company amounted to NT$242 million.
Separate revenue amounted to NT$11.869 billion, which was a decline of 9.06% from the same period of 2020.
2022 Business Plan
-
Continue to promote niche items and expand the clientele base for revenue and profit growth.
-
(1) There are new production applications for the rigid-flex board and the design is oriented to the higher end. In the future, joint ventures with customers in this area will be intensified in scope and in depth to enhance the utilization rate of production capacity on hand and achieve the profit goal.
-
(2) Make a positive effort to develop more customer sources by targeting customers of high-end product lines and broaden the scope of cooperation with new customers for more models in joint ventures to enlarge the scope of business with these new customers. Action will be taken to gradually penetrate to different levels of customers with different products in proper balance for stabilizing the sources of customer orders in mid to long-term, and minimize seasonal fluctuation.
-
(3) In the wake of the increasing penetration of 5G mmWave year after year, the corresponding industries like high-speed network cards, optical modules, and micro cells also thrived. Unitech will support the customers in the development of new models with the expectation of occupying a good position in high-end product lines alongside the successful development of the industries.
-
(4) Well-seasoned in vehicle mounted products, the Company has plenty of high-end automotive high-end electronic parts and components on hand to align with the
7
evolution of the new generation of LEVEL 3 unmanned driving. This is particularly the case in the parts and components for high frequency, high speed, sensor module and EV, which are expected to help to enrich the product portfolios for better profit.
-
(5) Entry to LEO satellite supply chain for keeping abreast of the development trend in related industries.
-
R&D in product technology: human resources in R&D will be further committed to the development of application technologies for new products, materials, and optimization of product line process. The gravity of development will be the optimization of parameters, development of chemicals in the production process, and special ink relevant with the high frequency, high speed materials, special cooper foil, and the process for mmWave for rapid launch to mass production and satisfy the needs of the customers in special product features and in search for the most competitive manufacturing cost.
-
Capacity expansion: Unitech plans to appropriately expand its production capacity to tackle the bottleneck on the basis of the business plan for the year ahead and in line with the market development trend and customer needs for assurance of maximum output and profit.
-
Unitech will continue to introduce an automated production process and process leaning plan for the best production efficiency and cost.
-
Launch smart production incrementally towards the goal of a smart factory and upgrade the overall competitive power.
Development Strategy in the future Macroeconomic Factors:
The world economic forecast conducted by the IMF in 2021 indicated that the COVID-19 variants Delta, Omicron, and the shortage in the supply of IC remained critical to the world. Also, economic recovery started from the trough at the base period of 2020 to a significantly high level of 5.9% growth in 2021, albeit under the spread of COVID-19. This was the highest growth in almost 4 decades. However, an economic slowdown comes in 2022 at a growth rate of only 4.4%, further down to 3.8% in 2023. The forecast indicated that until the end of 2022, the prevalent practice of vaccination and the invention of new medications might help to dissipate the influence of Omicron in the second half of 2022. With the lifting of the quarantine and cordons at the borders of most countries, economic recovery will take place. Global economic growth is projected at 4.4%. The growth rate will be 3.9% in developing countries, 4% in the US, 3.9% in the EURO zone, 3.3% in Japan, 4.8% in the newly emerged economies, 4.8% in China, and 9.0% in India. The forecast of the Central Bank indicated that economic growth in Taiwan is projected at 4.03% (while the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics projected at 4.15%).
8
According to the latest report released by UNCTAD, there are 3 variables that may affect global trade in the next year: the economic growth rate in China is lower than expected, the pressure of inflation, and geopolitical problem. All of the above 3 points will be unfavorable for global trade, which will be critical variables affecting economic growth in 2022.
External competitive environment: Demand:
The global economy underwent recovery growth in 2021. It is expected that EV, 5G mmWave, AI, IOT, LEO could enjoy significant growth in 2022. The global economy will resume normally, given the prevalent practice of vaccination and the launch of new medication.
Driven by the sustained growth of EV and the electronic development of unmanned vehicles, the production value of automotive PCB surged. As a veteran in automotive electronics, particularly in the area of high-end products, Unitech has a track record on several generations of new products in many years. As such, Unitech will make use of this advantage to continue expanding to different levels of customers and product lines and keep abreast of the trend of unmanned driving and related business opportunities for stable growth.
The 5G mmWave mobile communication is a new area of extremely high potential. Yet, a series of problems from the transmission of mmWave have to be addressed, from materials to PCB production technology, which is new to the industry. The inherent physical features of mmWave of high fading and low penetration, and the extremely high cost of installation as compared with 4G or SUB 6G, hampered the progress of 5G mmWave development. The GSMA launched the global acceleration plan in 2022 for speeding up 5G mmWave technology and application. The mmWave is expected to emerge as the gravity technology of NWC in 2022. Unitech holds that the commercial running of 5G will drive another wave of stunning growth in related industries. From micro cell straight to IOT.
As for terminal wearables, there will be another wave of strong demand for highend PCB. As always, Unitech sides with the customers in the development of products in new domains, and has already laid its hands on the development of products in 5G mmWave and related industries. When the time 5G mmWave has come at the right moment for commercial running, Unitech is expected to embrace the opportunity of another wave of growth.

Supply:
The growth of PCB was significant worldwide at an unprecedented 23%. HDI was up by 19.4% (PRISMARK) and another high-end item, SUBSTRATES was up by 39.4%, which was a record high. The reason was the significant growth in the demand for 5G, AI, HPC, and automotive products in 2020. The high level in the base period indicated slow growth in 2022, but was still at a normal pace. The growth of PCB in the year is projected at the level of 5.2%, where HDI growth is projected at 5% and SUBSTRATE growth is projected at 11.8%.
After the skyrocketing of raw materials in 2020, most firms in CCL, copper foil board and chemicals shifted the burden to their sale prices. The rising cost took away the margin which was already meager. Most PCB firms elected to shift the cost to the customer end, which helped maintain equilibrium. 2022 was clouded by the RussianUkrainian conflict and related transport problems, inflation and oil supply. Growth may not be the same as it was in 2021. Heavy metal prices fell further and the overall uncertainty is still there. Price fluctuation will be a challenge to the operation in 2022. The growth of AI, high-speed computers, 5G, automotive electronics, and EV that made upstream material supply in the PCB upstream material areas of high-speed, high frequency board CCL, PP and copper foil attract ongoing attention. This is particularly the case as the rapid growth in the EV market that the price of copper foil may be pushed further up, which in turn drives up the price of base boards. Further to the element of price, the psychological factor of shortage in material supply and the long lead-time for supply increase the risk of responding to different scenarios. After years of experience in dealing with the unpredictable operation environment, Unitech has mapped out the mechanisms for responding to different scenarios and can maintain close liaison with the customers for updated information on material preparation, and can support the stockpiling mechanisms of the suppliers to provide reliable and safe delivery deadlines. Unitech introduces preliminary design and manufacturing in one step right from the beginning of the project delegated by the customers, and can provide the best solutions at the front-end of design in real-time. Unitech can give expert recommendations to the customers in PCB manufacturing and provide the best cost structure and the most reliable logistics support in material supply as part of the total solution in service from the start to the launch of products. This helps to earn the long-term trust of the customers. Unitech has engaged in a long-term collaborative relationship with the customers for mutual prosperity that all participants are the winners.

Corporate Development Strategy:
1. Focus on the profit structure and increase the proportion of niche products in revenue.
(1) Vehicle-mounted PCB:
In the advent of unmanned driving at LEVEL 3, the demand for various types of auxiliary sensors surged. It was echoed with the demand for IoV under the 5G environment that the automation control inside the vehicles was also adjusted to a more powerful chip with a stronger computing function. Accordingly, the design of the vehiclemounted board was also upgraded to the high-end HDI board. This is particularly the case for the wireless communication module for IoV, a smart driving cabin system. The application of high-speed computers for the integration of information in real-time also increases. The demand for high-end chips for these advanced auxiliary driving systems triggered high-end HDI technology development for PCB year after year. It takes a very long lead-time for the development and validation of automotive electronics, which is longer than 3 years in general. Unitech's new joint venture projects and customers have been launched to mass production annually and have become in high demand. This will help the Company in long-term stable development.
(2) High-end HDI board:
In the wake of the increasing popularity and penetration rate of IC, the HDI technology, which was previously used in smartphones, has been extensively applicable to a much wider array of products year after year. Examples are the 5G mmWave communication system micro cells, vehicle-mounted board, IoV communication module, AR/VR, and high-end NB, which are inclined towards high-end HDI design. Unitech will continue to develop new customers with an advantage in this area to broaden its product lines and customer sources.
(3) Rigid-Flex Board:
Wearables emphasize being light, slim, short, compact, and long-life batteries. The inherent features of rigid-flex board are light, slim, high speed in signal transmission, and low dissipation. The absence of a connector gives an advantage in SMT and assembly of this item. The production and manufacturing of right-flex boards are highly sophisticated and singularity is far-fetched. A sizable workforce is required to respond to any change in the production process. In addition, the yield rate of this item cannot be upgraded in a short time and the entrance barrier is comparatively high. With a solid foundation in know-how, Unitech promotes rigid-flex boards to different product application areas to broaden its product line. This is particularly the case for wearables. It is expected that after the improvement of the penetration rate of 5G, different forms of applications to different kinds of products will emerge. By then, more product applications will rely on rigid-flex boards, which will be congruent with the development of Unitech in the future.
11
2. Take caution in the assessment of market trends, and expand the capacity of niche items in line with the change in market demand for maintaining a competitive advantage in the long run, upgrading production performance, and introducing automation and AI in production annually.
The development of AI and in-depth learning makes it obvious that smart manufacturing will be the ultimate goal for the development of manufacturing. The production trend in the future must be oriented toward automation and AI for the best performance in production, improvement in productivity, and product stability. Yet, the development of AI still rests on particular items which perform better for simple product lines with high repetition in the process, but not for high-end HDI and the sophisticated rigid-flex board. For the time being, Unitech is just at the stage of AIsupport manufacturing for its product lines in the area of smart manufacturing. The equipment and software must be highly customized. As such, the procurement cost is high. Further, smart manufacturing is still in the exploratory and learning phase that Unitech will continue to go for partial automation and observe the progress in the development of different forms of smart manufacturing in the market in order to start with the most feasible item at the right moment, and plan for the production process. Unitech aims at the collection of big data to advanced intelligent learning for its automated inspection and testing equipment for accumulating experience for the time being. Once the more advanced production and manufacturing system is developed properly in the market, Unitech will be able to adjust its production scale in line with the development trend and provide customers with the best quality and solutions.
3. “Green Unitech, Environmental Sustainability”
Unitech is engaged in ESG action under the 3 fundamental principles of “Green, Friendly, Innovation” in conjunction with its management mechanisms and integrity stance to allow for the balanced development of operation performance, environmental sustainability and social inclusiveness. Unitech will seek to upgrade its environmental protection and value chain management capacity through R&D and innovation in the future. Further to the quest for the best interest of the shareholders and stakeholders in wealth and value creation, Unitech will align with the ESG development trend, and proceed with the ESG action plan to perform its corporate social responsibility in its entirety.
In 2022, Unitech will continue to fortify its value chain with the mindset of integrity and sustainability, and will positively keep abreast of the market trend and opportunities for development to achieve the vision and goal of the Company.
May I ask for your care and support of Unitech as was in the past, and continue to give our management team encouragement and idea.
