Winbond Electronics Corporation 2022 Business Report
Central banks around the world have raised interest rates to curb inflation arising from conflicts between Ukraine and Russia, rising energy prices, and China’s zero COVID policy in 2022. Tightened fiscal policies have significantly slowed manufacturing activity, weakened global stock and bond market performance, and signaled a clear trend toward an economic downturn. For Winbond, operations in the first half of the year remained at peak levels thanks to the flow of electronic products and remote business opportunities presented by the pandemic. In the latter half of 2022, however, business growth has been hampered by diminished demand for consumer electronics, alleviated material shortages, and the accumulated inventory stemming from supply chain imbalances during the pandemic. Nevertheless, with the easing of the pandemic, the pace of innovation-driven operations in the electronic and electrical manufacturing industries is expected to slowly but gradually pick up pace. We are confident that we can overcome the challenges of the current global economic and political situation as well as continue to work closely with our partners to provide them with total memory solutions, ultimately reaching the goal of stability and growth together.
Financial Performance
In 2022, our consolidated revenue amounted to NT$94.53 billion, a decrease of 5.06% compared to 2021, mainly due to the impact of inventory adjustments and weakened demand for consumer electronics. Memory and logic products constituted 56% and 44% of consolidated revenue respectively. The gross margin was 46% and the operating margin was 17%. Our net earnings after tax were NT$15.0 billion (NT$12.9 billion attributed to the parent company) while earnings per share were NT$3.25.
Market and Product Applications
Winbond’s memory business is dedicated to the design, fabrication, and distribution of Code Storage Flash Memory and Specialty DRAM. The two product lines are the cornerstones of the Company’s robust operation. Our logic IC business provides eight major solutions—microcontroller applications, smart home, cloud security, motion sensing technologies, battery monitoring, IoT applications, semiconductor components, and IC foundry, and we are always seeking to expand its product lineup to give our clients the most comprehensive service possible.
In terms of product application, Winbond’s memory IC products are balanced across the four major sectors of electronics. In 2022, the communication applications product line remains the major revenue source of our memory business, accounting for 29% of its total revenue. Automotive and industrial products were unaffected by the economic downturn in the second half of the year, accounting for 27% of our total revenue, with uninterrupted growth thanks to the growing adoption of electric vehicles and the advancement of smart technologies. Attributable to a wave of replacements due to software upgrades, computer and peripheral products generated 24% of our total revenue, with only 20% on consumer products as less was spent on electronics during the post-pandemic period. Our automotive applications also showed significant growth, accounting for 40% of our logic IC revenue. Communications and consumer products revenue were at 22% each, on par with the previous year. Although the smartphone market weakened, sales of our CSP MOSFETs for lithium-ion mobile battery protection performed well, which continue to increase our market share and help maintain our momentum. Revenue from computer and peripheral products and applications decreased slightly to 16%.
Capacity Planning
Winbond’s Kaohsiung Fab has commenced operations according to plan with a capacity of 10,000 wafers per month expected to go toward our 2023 revenue. Our latest DRAM 25Snm technology will
- 7 -
provide 2G/4G DDR3 and other higher-end niche products to meet the demand for IoT, smart systems, automotive, industrial, and metaverse applications. Facilities will continue to be built in Kaohsiung Fab module A based on market and business prospects.
The CTSP Fab in Central Taiwan Science Park is currently producing 58,000 wafers per month while catering to Code Storage Flash Memory and Specialty DRAM product lines. With the Kaohsiung Fab now having Specialty DRAM capacity, we will be able to progressively increase our Code Storage Flash Memory fabrication at the CTSP Fab, thus maintaining our leading position in the market.
Product Innovation and Technology Development
To bolster our competitive advantage, Winbond is proactively incorporating green design thinking into the core product design process. We have completed verification of using Flash memory in Low Temperature Soldering (LTS) processes that conform with Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) standards, which effectively reduces our carbon footprint. The process flow for Surface Mount Technology (SMT) has been streamlined and shortened to reduce production costs. Vigorous growth of the Internet of Vehicles has highlighted network security risks and the rising significance of information security functions for vehicular systems and software. In 2022, Winbond became the world’s first memory manufacturer to match international industry standards with ISO/SAE 21434 Road Vehicles—Cybersecurity Engineering certification.
A multitude of resources have been invested in our logic IC business, developing various types of products that are in demand. For automotive products, we are developing novel Human-Machine Interface solutions with vehicular communication security technology that supports quick startup and high-resolution displays. We verified our battery deterioration diagnosis technology in collaboration with international manufacturers to build a circular ecosystem for recycling automotive batteries. For industrial control systems, we launched the first MA35D1 series microprocessor based on the dual-core 64-bit Arm® Cortex® -A35 and single-core Cortex® -M4 architectures to target the need for high-performance edge computing in industrial IoT. On top of breakthroughs in computing, communications, and consumer products, we are always looking to bring new products and applications to the market.
For the development of in-house memory technologies, our latest DRAM 25Snm technology has been put into production as the main line of the Kaohsiung Fab. The development of next-generation DRAM 20nm processes is on schedule and projected to enter production in the second half of 2023, providing yet another solid foundation and driving force for our long-term growth. Regarding flash processes, Winbond is developing NOR Flash 45nm and NAND Flash 24nm processes in response to future market demand for high density memory. Our goal is to increase the technological competitive edges of both Winbond and our clients by strengthening core technologies and value-added products.
Corporate Sustainability
Winbond established the Sustainable Development Committee in May, which is directly supervised by the Board of Directors and headed by the Chairman. In August, we joined the Taiwan Climate Partnership (TCP), a major climate initiative organization, with the Chairman serving as director and group convener. In November, Winbond acquired 1,000 tons of CO2e high-quality blue carbon credits from the Singaporean Climate Impact X (CIX), some of which were used to offset carbon emissions for the zero-carbon 35[th] Anniversary ESG Family Day. For green products, we have successfully developed an 1.2V Serial NOR Flash—the first of its kind that supports ultra-low voltage operations which significantly reduce energy consumption.
Winbond gives back to society by serving breakfasts for students and children in rural areas and supporting STSP Charity Month activities aimed at improving the lives and quality of life for economically disadvantaged families. Regarding environmental protection, in 2022, Winbond combined efforts to adopt and maintain the HouFeng Bikeway. To foster interdisciplinary semiconductor talent, Winbond joined hands with National Cheng Kung University to plan and develop the Winbond NCKU Semiconductor Leadership Program.
Winbond’s robust profitability and outstanding performance in sustainability and corporate

In terms of sustainable development, Winbond has stayed true to our commitment to corporate governance and environmental sustainability. In 2022, we won three awards at the 2022 Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards (TCSA): In addition to once again winning the IT & IC Manufacturing Platinum Award and the Talent Development Leadership Award, we took home our first Top 100 Sustainability Exemplary Taiwanese Company Award. These accomplishments are exemplary of the recognition by external organizations for our performance and results in striking a balance between corporate sustainability, ESG management, and business resilience.
Future Prospects
Winbond celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2022, and we treasure all the highs and lows in our 35 years of operation as invaluable experience and cornerstone for tackling future challenges. Through continuous refinement, we have significantly accelerated our R&D roadmap. We have seen particular success in the progress of our NOR Flash 45mm, DRAM 20mm, and NAND Flash 24mm technology development, which are expected to hit mass production and begin contributing to the Company’s revenues in the near future. In addition to strengthening the competitiveness of its core products, Winbond continues to base its operation on providing comprehensive localized services and a flexible and stable supply of products. We will continue to stand by our global customers to strive for mutual growth.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Winbond Electronics Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Winbond Electronics Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
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 Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group 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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
- 22 -
Occurrence of Sales Revenue from Specific Series of Flash Memory Products
The sales revenue of Winbond Electronics Corporation and its subsidiaries are mainly from the sale of DRAM IC products, Flash Memory products and Logic IC products.
As the gross profit margin and the proportion of sales revenue from the specific series of flash memory products are higher than that of other product series, and given that the gross profit of the specific series is significant to the net income of the year, we considered the occurrence of sales revenue from specific series of products as a key audit matter of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The audit procedures that we performed in response to the abovementioned key audit matter included understanding the design and implementation of the key internal controls and testing the effectiveness of the relevant controls over sales revenue, and selecting samples of revenue items to verify the occurrence of the transactions.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Winbond Electronics Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’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 Group 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 Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.
- 23 -
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 also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 Group’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 Group’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 consolidated 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 Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated 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 the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group 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 statements 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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 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.
