INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
VIA Technologies, Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of VIA Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the parent company only balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the accompanying parent company only financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the parent company only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The key audit matters of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, are as follows:
Evaluation of Profit and Loss Recognition of Investments in Subsidiaries Accounted for Using the Equity Method - Revenue Recognition of Specific Customers
As stated in Note 11 to the accompanying financial statements, as of December 31, 2025, the carrying amounts of the investments in VIA Next Technologies, Inc. (VIA Next) and VIA Labs, Inc. (VLI) accounted for using the equity method were NT$454,543 thousand and NT$1,484,836 thousand, respectively, representing 2% and 5% of the Company’s total assets. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the share of profit accounted for using the equity method was NT$66,421 thousand and NT$43,439 thousand, respectively, representing 55% and 36% of the Company’s total profit before income tax. We identified the financial position and performance of VIA Next and VLI as having a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Revenue from the sale of goods of VIA Next and VLI is recognized when significant risks and control are transferred to the customers. Technical service revenue is recognized when the performance obligation of services is fulfilled, and the amount of revenue can be reasonably measured. Since revenue from specific customers is material to the profit or loss accounted for using the equity method, we considered the relevant recognition of revenue a key audit matter.
For the accounting policy on revenue recognition, refer to Note 4.
We obtained an understanding and tested the effectiveness of the design and the implementation of internal controls with respect to the revenue recognition of specific customers. We selected samples of revenue from the aforementioned customers and confirmed that revenue transactions have indeed occurred.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.
- 3 -
As part 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 are also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent 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 resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’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 the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Pan-Fa Wang and Chin-Chuan Shih.

IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” and consequential amendments
IFRS 18 will supersede IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The main changes comprise:
1) To classify items of income and expenses presented in the statement of profit or loss into the operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations categories, the Company shall assess whether it has specified main business activities of investing in particular types of assets and providing financing to customers.
2) The statement of profit or loss shall present totals and subtotals for operating profit or loss, profit or loss before financing and income taxes and profit or loss.
3) Provides guidance to enhance the requirements of aggregation and disaggregation: The Company shall identify the assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows that arise from individual transactions or other events and shall classify and aggregate them into groups based on shared characteristics, so as to result in the presentation in the primary financial statements of line items that have at least one similar characteristic. The Company shall disaggregate items with dissimilar characteristics in the primary financial statements and in the notes. The Company labels items as “other” only if it cannot find a more informative label.
4) Disclosures on Management-defined Performance Measures (MPMs): When in public communications outside financial statements and communicating to users of financial statements management's view of an aspect of the financial performance of the Company as a whole, the Company shall disclose related information about its MPMs in a single note to the financial statements, including the description of such measures, calculations, reconciliations to the subtotal or total specified by IFRS Accounting Standards and the income tax and non-controlling interests effects of related reconciliation items.
In addition, the following consequential amendments have been made to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”:
1) The Company shall use operating profit or loss as the starting point when presenting cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method.
- 12 -
2) Interest and dividends received by the Company shall be classified as investing activities, while interest and dividends paid shall be classified as financing activities. However, if, after assessment, the Company has a specific main operating activity, it shall determine how to classify dividends received, interest received and interest paid in the statement of cash flows by referring to how it classifies dividend income, interest income and interest expense in the statement of profit or loss. The total of each of these cash flows shall be classified in a single category in the statement of cash flows.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the parent company only financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company is continuously assessing the other impacts of the above amended standards and interpretations on the Company's financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.
4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
Statement of Compliance
The parent company only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis of Preparation
The parent company only financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments and investment properties which are measured at fair value, and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.
The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:
a. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
b. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
c. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
When preparing these parent company only financial statements, the Company used the equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries and associates. In order for the amounts of the net profit for the year, other comprehensive income for the year and total equity in the parent company only financial statements to be the same with the amounts attributable to the owners of the Company in its consolidated financial statements, adjustments arising from the differences in accounting treatments between the parent company only basis and the consolidated basis were made to investments accounted for using the equity method, the share of profit or loss of subsidiaries and associates, the share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates and the related equity items, as appropriate, in these parent company only financial statements.
Classification of Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities
Current assets include:
a. Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
b. Assets expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; and
- 13 -
c. Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Current liabilities include:
a. Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
b. Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period, even if an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue; and
c. Liabilities for which the Company does not have the substantial right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
Foreign Currencies
In preparing the parent company only financial statements of the Company, transactions in currencies other than the Company's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which case, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
For the purposes of presenting parent company only financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated into New Taiwan dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income.
On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e., a disposal of the Company's entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, or a partial disposal of an interest in a joint arrangement or an associate that includes a foreign operation of which the retained interest becomes a financial asset), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation are reclassified to profit or loss.
In relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Company losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences is included in the calculation of equity transaction but is not recognized in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.

- 15 -
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, finished goods and work-in-process and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.
Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method
a. Investments in subsidiaries
The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries.
A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity) that is controlled by the Company.
Under the equity method, an investment in a subsidiary is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the subsidiary. The Company also recognizes the changes in the Company's share of equity of subsidiaries.
Changes in the Company's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the Company losing control of the subsidiary are accounted for as equity transaction. The Company recognizes directly in equity any difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received.
When the Company's share of loss of a subsidiary exceeds its interest in that subsidiary (which includes any carrying amount of the investment accounted for using the equity method and long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Company's net investment in the subsidiary), the Company continues recognizing its share of further loss, if any.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the Company's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
The Company assesses its investment for any impairment by comparing the carrying amount with the estimated recoverable amount as assessed based on the investee's financial statements as a whole. Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases, the Company recognizes a reversal of the impairment loss; the adjusted post-reversal carrying amount should not exceed the carrying amount that would have been recognized (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years. An impairment loss recognized on goodwill cannot be reversed in a subsequent period.
When the Company loses control of a subsidiary, it recognizes the investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost. The difference between the fair value of the retained investment plus any consideration received and the carrying amount of the previous investment at the date when control is lost is recognized as a gain or loss in profit or loss. Besides this, the Company accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required had the Company directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
Profit or loss resulting from downstream transactions is eliminated in full only in the parent company only financial statements. Profit and loss resulting from upstream transactions and transactions between subsidiaries is recognized only in the parent company only financial statements and only to the extent of interests in the subsidiaries that are not related to the Company.
b. Investments in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.
The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates. Under the equity method, investments in an associate is initially recognized in the parent company only balance sheet at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. In addition, the Company recognizes the changes in the share of the equity of associates.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, and liabilities of an associate recognized at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the Company's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
When the Company subscribes for additional new shares of the associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Company's proportionate interest in the associate. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to investments, with a corresponding amount credited or charged to capital surplus. If additional subscription of the new shares of associate results in a decrease in the ownership interest, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate is reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required had the investee directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for using the equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.
When the Company's share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in that associate (which includes any carrying amount of the investment accounted for using the equity method and long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Company's net investment in the associate), the Company discontinues recognizing its share of further losses, if any. Additional losses are recognized only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
The entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
The Company discontinues the use of the equity method from the date on which its investment ceases to be an associate. Any retained investment is measured at fair value at that date, and the fair value is regarded as its fair value on initial recognition as a financial asset. The difference between the previous carrying amount of the associate attributable to the retained interest and its fair value is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal of the associate. In addition, the Company accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate on the same basis as would be required had that associate directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
- 16 -
When a Company transacts with its associate, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognized in the Company’s parent company only financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate of parties that are not related to the Company.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.
Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are measured at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such assets are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for their intended use. Such properties are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use.
Except for freehold land, which is not depreciated, the depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
Investment Property
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation. Investment properties also include land held for a currently undetermined future use.
Freehold investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs, and are subsequently measured using the fair value model. Changes in the fair value of investment properties are included in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.
On derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is included in profit or loss.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired separately
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. The residual value of an intangible asset with a finite useful life is assumed to be zero unless the Company expects to dispose of the intangible asset before the end of its economic life. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Derecognition of intangible assets
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.
- 17 -
- 18 -
Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment, Right-of-use Asset, Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, right-of-use asset and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to the individual cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever there is an indication that the assets may be impaired.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
a. Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
1) Measurement categories
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at FVTPL and financial assets at amortized cost.
a) Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when such a financial asset is mandatorily classified as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at FVTOCI and debt instruments that do not meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria.
Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, and any dividends or interest earned on such financial assets are recognized in other income and interest income, respectively; any remeasurement gains or losses on such financial assets are recognized in other gains or losses. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 31.
b) Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:
i. The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
ii. The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, time deposits with original maturity more than 3 months, accounts receivable (including related parties) at amortized cost, other receivables, refundable deposits and other financial assets, are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of such a financial asset, except for:
i. Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets; and
ii. Financial assets that are not credit impaired on purchase or origination but have subsequently become credit impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets in subsequent reporting periods.
A financial asset is credit impaired when one or more of the following events have occurred:
i) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
ii) Breach of contract, such as a default;
iii) It is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or undergo a financial reorganization; or
iv) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
Cash equivalents include time deposits and repurchase agreements collateralized by bonds with original maturities of within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
- 19 -
2) Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including accounts receivable).
The Company always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses (i.e., ECLs) for accounts receivable. For all other financial instruments, the Company recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.
Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
For internal credit risk management purposes, the Company determines that the following situations indicate that a financial asset is in default (without taking into account any collateral held by the Company):
a) Internal or external information show that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors.
b) When a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Company has reasonable and corroborative information to support a more lagged default criterion.
The impairment loss of all financial assets is recognized in profit or loss by a reduction in their carrying amounts through a loss allowance account.
3) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss.
b. Equity instruments
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
The repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity. The carrying amount is calculated by weighted average of the stock types and is calculated separately according to the reason for recovery. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issuance or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.
- 20 -
c. Financial liabilities
1) Subsequent measurement
Except the financial liabilities at FVTPL and financial guarantee contracts, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability.
Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 31.
2) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
d. Derivative financial instruments
The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts.
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. When the fair value of derivative financial instruments is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value of derivative financial instruments is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.
Provisions
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the discounted cash flows of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
Provisions for the expected cost of warranty obligations to assure that products comply with agreed-upon specifications are recognized on the date of sale of the relevant products at the best estimate by the management of the Company of the expenditures required to settle the Company's obligations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company identifies contracts with customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
a. Revenue from the sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods comes from sales of semiconductor and computer integrated circuit products. Revenue and accounts receivable are recognized when the goods are sold and the customer assumes the right to set the price, use of the goods, the primary responsibility for reselling, and takes the obsolescence risk of the goods.
- 21 -
b. Revenue from the rendering of services
Revenue from product design and testing services is recognized when the performance obligations of services are fulfilled.
Leasing
At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
a. The Company as lessor
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Lease payments (less any lease incentives payable) from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining operating leases are added to the carrying amounts of the underlying assets and recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. Lease modification that resulted from a negotiation with a lessee is accounted for as a new lease from the effective date of modification.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as income in the periods in which they are earned.
b. The Company as lessee
The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets, and less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the parent company only balance sheets.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise fixed payments, in-substance fixed payments, variable lease payments which depend on an index or a rate, residual value guarantees, the exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and payments of penalties for terminating a lease if the lease term reflects such termination, less any lease incentives receivable. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate.
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in a lease term or a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, the Company remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Company accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by (a) decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset of lease modifications that decreased the scope of the lease,
- 22 -
and recognizing in profit or loss any gain or loss on the partial or full termination of the lease; (b) making a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset of all other lease modifications. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the parent company only balance sheets.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
Employee Benefits
a. Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.
b. Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.
Net defined benefit liability (asset) represents the actual deficit (surplus) in the Company's defined benefit plan. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
c. Other long-term employee benefits
Other long-term employee benefits are accounted for in the same way as the accounting required for defined benefit plans except that remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss.
d. Termination benefits
A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the Company recognizes any related restructuring costs.
Share-based Payment Arrangements
The fair value at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments granted to employees is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Company's best estimates of the number of shares or options that are expected to ultimately vest, with a corresponding increase in capital surplus - share-based payment. The share-based payment is recognized as an expense in full at the grant date if vested immediately.
At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates is recognized in profit or loss such that the cumulative expenses reflect the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to capital surplus - share-based payment.
- 23 -
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
a. Current tax
Income tax payable (recoverable) is based on taxable profit (loss) for the year determined according to the applicable tax laws of each tax jurisdiction.
According to the Income Tax Act in the ROC, an additional tax on unappropriated earnings is provided for in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.
Adjustments of prior years' tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year's tax provision.
b. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the parent company only financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences, unused loss carryforward and unused tax credits for purchases of machinery, equipment and technology, research and development expenditures, and personnel training expenditures to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
c. Current tax and deferred tax for the year
Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current tax and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

5. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimations and assumptions on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
When developing material accounting estimates, the Company considers the possible impact of US reciprocal tariffs on the cash flow projection, growth rates, discount rates, profitability and other relevant material estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
a. Fair value measurements and valuation processes on investment properties
If the Company’s investment properties measured at fair value have no quoted prices in active markets, the Company will determine whether to engage third party qualified appraisers and the appropriate valuation techniques for the fair value measurements.
If Level 1 inputs are not available, the Company or engaged appraisers will determine appropriate inputs by referring to the existing lease contracts and rentals of similar properties in the vicinity of the Company’s investment properties. If the actual changes of inputs in the future differ from expectation, the fair value may vary accordingly. The Company updates inputs every quarter to confirm the appropriateness of the fair value measurement.
Information on the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of investment properties is disclosed in Note 14.
b. Write-down of inventory
Net realizable value of inventory is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The estimation of net realizable value was based on current market conditions and the historical experience of selling products of a similar nature. Changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the estimation of net realizable value.
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Judgment and estimation are applied in the determination of net realizable value at the end of reporting period. Inventories are usually written down to net realizable value item by item if those inventories are damaged, have become wholly or partially obsolete, or if their selling prices have declined.

Receivables
The average credit period of sales of goods was 60 to 90 days. In determining the recoverability of receivables, the Company considers any changes in the credit quality of the receivable from the date the credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting period. The Company adopted a policy of only dealing with entities that have good credit rating and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. Credit rating information is obtained from publicly available financial information or the Company's own trading records to rate its major customers. The Company's exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored, and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties.
Before accepting any new customer, the Company evaluates the potential customer's credit quality and defines the credit limits and ratings of the customers. The Company evaluates the financial performance periodically for the adjustment of credit limits once a year.
The Company uses lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor's current financial position, adjusted for general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtor operates and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of economic conditions at the reporting date. As the Company's historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished according to the Company's different customer base.
The Company writes off accounts receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. For accounts receivable that have been written off, the Company continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.
The following table details the loss allowance of accounts receivable based on the Company's provision matrix.

The maturity analysis of lease payments receivable under operating leases of investment properties at December 31, 2025 and 2024 was as follows:
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Year 1 | $ 36,740 | $ 41,601 |
| Year 2 | 50 | 38,302 |

| Year 5 | - | - |
| $ 36,815 | $ 79,903 |
The fair values of investment properties with a carrying amount as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were based on the valuations carried out by independent qualified professional appraisers, Jin Sheng Lin and Xuan-You Chen from Prudential Cross-Strait Real Estate Appraisers Firm, members of certified ROC real estate appraisers, who concluded that the fair values were reasonable.
The fair value of investment properties was estimated using unobservable inputs (Level 3). The movements in the fair value were as follows:
| For the Year Ended December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Balance, beginning of the year | $ 927,785 | $ 985,896 |

| Transfers to property, plant and equipment | (60,980) | (67,574) |
| Balance, end of the year | $ 933,301 | $ 927,785 |
The fair value of investment properties was measured using the income approach. The significant assumptions used were stated below. The increase in estimated future net cash inflows, or the decrease in discount rates would result in increase in the fair value.
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Expected future cash inflows | $ 1,360,890 | $ 1,350,807 |
| Expected future cash outflows | (41,725) | (41,324) |
| Expected future cash inflows, net | $ 1,319,165 | $ 1,309,483 |
| Discount rate | 3.33%-4.07% | 3.33%-4.07% |
The market rentals for comparable properties in the area where the investment property is located were $1 thousand per ping (per 3.3 square meters).
Most investment properties had been leased out under operating leases. Please refer to Note 24(b) for information on the generation of rental income. The disposal value of investment properties were $1,073,718 thousand and $1,064,314 thousand under the income approach on December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The expected future cash inflows generated by investment property included rental income, interest income on rental deposits and disposal value. Rental income is assessed based on the local rental rates of the subject property or market rental trends of similar comparables. The income analysis period is projected over a 10-year timeframe, the interest income on rental deposits was extrapolated using the Company's current rental, taking into account the annual rental growth rate; the time deposit interest rate for a 1-year; the disposal value was determined using the direct capitalization method under the income approach. The expected future cash outflows incurred by investment property included expenditure such as land value taxes, house taxes, maintenance costs, administrative expenses and insurance premium. These expenditures were extrapolated on the basis of the current level of expenditures, taking into account the future adjustment to the government-announced land value, the tax rate promulgated under the House Tax Act.
The discount rate was determined by reference to the interest rate for 2-year time deposits as posted by Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd., plus 0.75%, and any asset-specific risk premiums between 0.86% and 1.60%.
The investment properties held by the Company were all own interest. The investment properties pledged as collateral for bank borrowings were set out in Note 33.

21. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
Defined Contribution Plans
The pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (LPA) is a defined contribution plan. Based on the LPA, the Company makes monthly contributions to employees' individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.
Defined Benefit Plans
Based on the defined benefit plan under the Labor Standards Act (LSA), pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the 6 months before retirement. The Company contributed amounts equal to 2% of total monthly salaries and wages to the pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. The pension fund is deposited in Bank of Taiwan in the committee's name. Before the end of each year, the Company assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Company is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (the "Bureau"); the Company has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.
The amounts included in the parent company only balance sheets in respect of the obligation of the Company under the defined benefit plans were as follows:

An analysis by function of the amounts recognized in profit or loss in respect of the defined benefit plans was as follows:
| For the Year Ended December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Summary of functions | ||
| Operating costs | $ 224 | $ 261 |
| Selling and marketing expenses | 231 | 247 |
| General and administrative expenses | 1,173 | 1,316 |
| Research and development expenses | 4,791 | 5,538 |
| $ 6,419 | $ 7,362 |
Through the defined benefit plans under the LSA, the Company is exposed to the following risks:
a. Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic/and foreign/equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.
b. Interest risk: A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan's debt investments.
c. Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Discount rates | 1.250% | 1.500% |
| Expected rates of salary increase | 3.500% | 3.500% |
If possible reasonable change in each of the significant actuarial assumptions occur and all other assumptions remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation will increase (decrease) as follows:
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Discount rates | ||
| 0.25% increase | $ (12,343) | $ (13,048) |
| 0.25% decrease | $ 12,739 | $ 13,473 |
| Expected rates of salary increase | ||
| 0.25% increase | $ 12,250 | $ 12,979 |
| 0.25% decrease | $ (11,934) | $ (12,638) |
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| The expected contributions to the plan for the next year | $ 6,093 | $ 6,140 |
| The average duration of the defined benefit obligation | 8.3 years | 8.7 years |

Under the Company Law, capital surplus can only be used to offset a deficit. However, the capital surplus from share issued in excess of par (including additional paid-in capital from issuance of ordinary shares, conversion of bonds and treasury share transactions), difference between the amount of actual disposal or acquisition of interests in subsidiary and carrying value, and donations may be used to offset a deficit, which is limited to a certain percentage of the Company’s paid-in capital.
According to the amendment of the Company Law, the abovementioned capital surplus may be distributed in cash. Whereas, capital surplus arises from issuing employee share options and accounted for using the equity method may not be used for any other purpose other than offset a deficit. Such capital surplus arises from employee share options or employee share options from issuance of ordinary shares, which had been exercised, may be used to offset a deficit.

VIA would distribute unappropriated earnings by cash dividends or share dividends, the amount should not be less than 10% of the after-tax earnings for the year. In addition, cash dividends should not be less than 10% of total dividends.
Under the Company’s Articles, when the earnings distribution of dividends and bonuses, capital reserve or legal reserve are paid in whole or in part in the form of cash distribution, the board of directors is authorized to adopt a special resolution to distribute dividends and bonuses. Therefore, more than two-thirds of the directors shall be present, and with the consent of the majority of the directors who are present, shall report such distribution to the shareholders in their meeting.
For the policies on the distribution of employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors and supervisors, refer to Note 24 (g).
Appropriation of earnings to legal reserve could be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s paid-in capital. Legal reserve may be used to offset deficit. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

When a special reserve is appropriated for cumulative net debit balance reserves from prior period and cumulative net increases in fair value measurement of investment properties from prior period, the special reserve is only appropriated from the prior unappropriated earnings, the sum of net profit for current period and items other than net profit that are included directly in the unappropriated earnings for current period is used if the prior unappropriated earnings is not sufficient.
The appropriations of earnings for 2024 and 2023, which were resolved by the shareholders' meetings on June 20, 2025 and June 20, 2024 were as follows:
| 2024 | 2023 | |

31. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
a. Financial instruments not measured at fair value
The management considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value were approximate amounts of their fair value or the fair value cannot be measured reliably.
b. Fair value measurements recognized in the parent company only balance sheets
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:
- Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
- Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
December 31, 2025
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Financial assets at FVTPL | ||||

c. Reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements of financial instruments
For the year ended December 31, 2025
| Financial Assets | Financial Assets at FVTPL |
|---|---|
| Balance, beginning of year | $ 326,752 |
| Addition | 30,400 |
| Recognized in profit or loss (included in other gains and losses) | 70,211 |
| Transfers out of Level 3 (Note) | (322,920) |
| Balance, end of year | $ 104,443 |
Note: The transfer from level 3 to level 1 is because quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets data became available for the equity investments.
For the year ended December 31, 2024
| Financial Assets | Financial Assets at FVTPL |
|---|---|
| Balance, beginning of year | $ 279,688 |
| Recognized in profit or loss | 47,064 |
| Balance, end of year | $ 326,752 |
d. Valuation techniques and assumptions applied for the purpose of measuring fair value
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities were determined as follows:
1) The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions which are traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices (includes listed corporate callable bonds, shares, draft, corporate bonds and bonds without maturity date). If such quoted prices are not available, valuation techniques are applied. The estimates and assumptions used by the Company are consistent with those that market participants would use in setting a price for the financial instrument;
2) The fair values of derivative instruments were calculated using quoted prices. If such quoted prices are not available, a discounted cash flow analysis was performed using the applicable yield curve for the duration of the instruments for non-optional derivatives, and option pricing models for optional derivatives. The estimates and assumptions used by the Company were consistent with those that market participants would use in setting a price for the financial instrument;
3) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 2 fair value measurement
| Financial Instruments | Valuation Techniques and Inputs |
|---|---|
| Derivatives - foreign exchange forward contracts | Foreign currency forward contracts were measured using quoted forward exchange rates and yield curves derived from quoted interest rates that match the maturities of the contracts. |
4) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 3 fair value measurement
| Financial Instruments | Valuation Techniques and Inputs |
|---|---|
| Domestic private convertible bonds | Calculated by adding the conversion right to the value of the pure bond: The value of the pure bond is calculated by adding the interest compensation of the bond at the maturity date to the discounted value of the bond. In addition, the value of the conversion right is calculated based on the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the exercise price, the spot price of the conversion target, volatility rate, risk-free interest rate, cash dividend rate and duration as the evaluation parameters in the issuance method. |
Investments in equity instruments are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy due to the lack of quoted prices in an active market; the fair values of financial assets categorized into Level 3 are based on valuations provided by market participants or quoted prices of the counterparty. Quantitative information is not disclosed since the relationship between significant unobservable inputs and the fair value cannot be fully controlled.
5) Valuation process for level 3 fair value measurement
The Company evaluates and confirms the reliability, independence and correspondence of the information sources of the estimated value. Appropriate adjustments are made to ensure the rationality of the valuation presented.
6) Sensitivity analysis of the fair value regarding reasonable and possible alternative assumption within Level 3
No sensitivity analysis using alternative assumptions is done since the valuation of the financial instruments did not adopt self-estimation model.

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The Company's financial instruments mainly include equity investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, lease liabilities and long-term debt. The Company's Department of Finance and Accounting provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through analyzing the exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Company sought to minimize the effects of these risks by using derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments to hedge risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives was governed by the Company's policies approved by the board of directors, which provide written principles on foreign exchange risk, interest risk, credit risk, the use of financial derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments, and the investment of excess liquidity.
a. Market risk
The Company's activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (1) below) and interest rates (see (2) below).
There has been no change to the Company's exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.
1) Foreign currency risk
The carrying amounts of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the year were set out in Note 36.
- 58 -
Sensitivity analysis
The Company was mainly exposed to the United States dollar (USD).
The following table shows the Company's sensitivity to a 2% increase and decrease in New Taiwan dollars (the functional currency) against the relevant foreign currencies. A 2% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and foreign currency forward contracts, and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 2% change in foreign currency rates.
| Currency USD Impact | ||
|---|---|---|
| For the Year Ended December 31 | ||
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Profit or loss | $ 22,084 | $ 61,205 |
| Equity | 265,215 | 242,244 |
2) Interest rate risk
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows.
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Fair value interest rate risk | ||
| Financial assets | $ 6,271,102 | $ 5,505,774 |
| Financial liabilities | 16,651 | 9,483 |
| Cash flow interest rate risk | ||
| Financial liabilities | 850,000 | 1,510,000 |
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the Company's exposure to interest rates for both derivative and non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. The financial assets exposed into interest rate risk were mainly certificates of time deposits. Because the interest rate was determined when depositing, the financial assets abovementioned were not affected by interest rate risk and excluded from the sensitivity analysis. The interest rate of financial liabilities was determined when borrowing, the financial liabilities were not affected by interest rate risk and excluded from the sensitivity analysis. For the financial liabilities exposed into cash flow risk (with floating interest rate), the Company made the assumption that the financial liabilities were outstanding during the reporting period. A 0.1% basis point increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 0.1% basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company's before-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by $850 thousand and $1,510 thousand, respectively, which was mainly attributable to the Company's exposure to interest rates on its variable-rate bank borrowings.
3) Other price risk
The Company was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in listed equity securities and convertible bond. The equity investment is not held for trading but a strategic investment, and the Company does not aggressively trade such investments.
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.
If equity prices had been 10% higher/lower, before-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by $53,829 thousand and $62,370 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTPL.
b. Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. As at the end of the reporting period, the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk, which will cause a financial loss to the Company due to failure of counterparty to discharge an obligation and financial guarantees provided by the Company, could arise from:
1) The carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the balance sheets;
2) The amount of contingent liabilities in relation to financial guarantee issued by the Company.
The Company adopted a policy of dealing only with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company only transacts with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade and above. This information is supplied by independent rating agencies where available and, if not available, the Company uses other publicly available financial information and its own trading records to rate its major customers. The Company’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored, and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the risk management committee annually.
Accounts receivable from 3 largest accounts receivable customers amounted to $248,587 thousand and $152,995 thousand as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s concentration of credit risk of 84% and 77% in total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, was related to the three largest accounts receivable customers in the Company.
c. Liquidity risk
The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Company’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.
1) Liquidity and interest risk rate tables for non-derivative financial liabilities
The following table detailed the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables had been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities. The tables included both interest and principal cash flows.
- 59 -
To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount was derived from the interest rate curve at the end of the reporting period.

The amounts included above for variable interest rate instruments for both non-derivative financial assets and liabilities was subject to change if changes in variable interest rates differ from those interest rates determined at the end of the reporting period.
The following table details the Company's liquidity analysis of its derivative financial instruments. The table is based on the undiscounted contractual net cash inflows and outflows on derivative instruments that settle on a gross basis, and the undiscounted gross inflows and outflows on those derivatives that require gross settlement. When the amount payable or receivable is not fixed, the amount disclosed is determined by reference to the projected interest rates as illustrated by the yield curves at the end of the year.
