Parent Company Only Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and Independent Auditors' Report


  • 1 -

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation (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 the notes to the parent company only financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the “parent company only financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the 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 Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of 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 of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025 are as follows:

Audit of the Percentage-of-Completion

Since the recognition of the cargo revenue is material and complex, we deemed the percentage-of-completion method of revenue recognition as a key audit matter.

The recognition depends on the expected time frame for the completion of the voyage. The judgment of the percentage-of-completion estimation may lead to an incorrect calculation of revenue recognized or an inconsistency in revenue recognition.

The judgment of cargo revenue recognition included material accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty disclosed in Notes 5 and 23 to the accompanying parent company only financial statements.

We tested the accuracy of the timing of the revenue recognition. Through subsequent information on voyages, berthing reports, sailing schedules and reports of the estimation of the bill of lading revenue, we reviewed the basis of estimates and verified the validity of the voyage dates calculated by Company's management and of the revenue resulting from voyages.

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 parent company only 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.

  • 2 -

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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

YANG MING MARINE TRANSPORT CORPORATION

NOTES TO PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024 (In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation (the "Company" or YMTC), established in December 1972, was majority-owned by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) of the Republic of China (ROC) until February 15, 1996 when the MOTC began reducing its holdings in the Company following the Company's listing of its shares on the Taiwan Stock Exchange.

YMTC mainly engages in the shipping, repair, chartering, sale and purchase of ships, containers and chassis and operates as a shipping agency.

YMTC's shares have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange since April 1992. YMTC issued global depositary receipts (GDRs), which have been listed on the London Stock Exchange (ticker symbol: YMTD) since November 1996. The GDRs listed on London Stock Exchange were delisted on December 5, 2019.

To simplify investment structure and integrate resources, YMTC plans to restructure the Company. In July 2021, the board of directors resolved to merge with Ching Ming Investment Corp. The base date for the merger was November 1, 2021. The Company would be the surviving company while Ching Ming Investment Corp would be dissolved in the merger.

The parent company only financial statements of the Company are presented in YMTC's functional currency, the New Taiwan dollar.

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:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

  • 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":

  • The Company shall use operating profit or loss as the starting point when presenting cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method.
  • 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

a. 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.

b. 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:

1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
2) 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
3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.

  • 13 -

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 and associates and the related equity items, as appropriate, in these parent company only financial statements.

c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

Current assets include:

1) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
2) Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and
3) Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Current liabilities include:

1) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
2) 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 parent company only financial statements are authorized for issue; and
3) 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.

d. Foreign currencies

In preparing the Company's financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Company's functional currency (i.e., 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 in which they arise except for exchange differences on transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks.

Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value is determined. Exchange differences arising from 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 denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost is stated at the reporting currency as originally translated from the foreign currency.

  • 14 -

For the purposes of presenting parent company only financial statements, the financial statements of the Company’s foreign operations (including subsidiaries and associates in other countries) that are prepared using functional currencies which are different from the currency of the Company are translated into the presentation currency, the New Taiwan dollars, as follows: Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

e. Shipping fuel

Shipping fuel is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Any write-down is made item by item. Shipping fuel is recorded at weighted-average cost.

f. Investment in subsidiaries

The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries.

A subsidiary is an 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 attributable to the Company.

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 transactions. 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.

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 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.

  • 15 -

g. Investment in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and which is not a subsidiary.

The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates.

Under the equity method, investments in an associate are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. The Company also recognizes the changes in the Company’s share of the equity of associates attributable to the Company.

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 at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized.

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 the investment’s 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. 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.

When the 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 that are not related to the Company.

h. 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.

Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction 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.

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 methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effects of any changes in the estimates 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.

  • 16 -

i. Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties 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.

For a transfer of classification from investment properties to property, plant and equipment, the deemed cost of an item of property for subsequent accounting is its fair value at the commencement of development for owner-occupation.

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.

j. Intangible assets

1) 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 lives, residual values, and amortization methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.

2) Derecognition of intangible assets

On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

k. Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets 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 smallest group of cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation.

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 corresponding 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 on the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 18 -

  • 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 included in the initially recognized amount of the financial assets or financial liabilities.

1) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

a) Measurement categories

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost and investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI.

i. Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when such financial assets are mandatorily classified as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at FVTOCI.

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 29: Financial Instruments.

ii. Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:

i) The financial assets are 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 assets 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, trade receivables at amortized cost, time deposits with original maturities of more than 3 months, repurchase agreements, corporate bonds, restricted bank deposits, other receivables and long-term receivables, 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.

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 with original maturities 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.

iii. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

On initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation as at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.

Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments; instead, it will be transferred to retained earnings.

Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company's right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.

b) Impairment of financial assets and contract assets

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables), finance lease receivables, other receivables, as well as contract assets.

The Company always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) for trade receivables, finance lease receivables, other receivables and contract assets. 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 considers that when internal or external information shows that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, it is indicated that a financial asset is in default (without taking into account any collateral held by the Company).

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.

  • 19 -

c) 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. On derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss, and the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.

2) 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, and its carrying amounts are calculated based on weighted average by share types. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issuance or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

3) Financial liabilities

a) Subsequent measurement

All the financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

b) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

4) Derivative financial instruments

The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to oil price variation risks, mainly for oil swap option.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date on which 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 hedging relationship. When the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.

  • 20 -

Derivatives embedded in hybrid contracts that contain financial asset hosts that is within the scope of IFRS 9 are not separated; instead, the classification is determined in accordance with the entire hybrid contract. Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts that are not financial assets within the scope of IFRS 9 (e.g. financial liabilities) are treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative, their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts, and the host contracts are not measured at FVTPL.

m. Hedge accounting

The Company designates certain hedging instruments, which include non-derivatives in respect of foreign currency risk, as cash flow hedges. Hedges of foreign exchange risk on firm commitments are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

Cash flow hedges

The effective portion of gains or losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

The associated gains or losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified from equity to profit or loss as reclassification adjustments in the line items relating to the hedged item in the same period in which the hedged item affects profit or loss. If a hedge of a forecasted transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the associated gains and losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income are removed from equity and included in the initial cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability.

The Company discontinues hedge accounting only when the hedging relationship ceases to meet the qualifying criteria; for instance, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that was previously recognized in other comprehensive income (from the period in which the hedge was effective) remains separately in equity until the forecasted transaction occurs. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gains or losses accumulated in equity are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

n. 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.

Carbon fee provision

In accordance with the related regulations of the EU-ETS, the carbon fee provision is recognized and measured on the basis of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation for the current year.

o. Revenue recognition

The Company identifies contracts with customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.

For contracts entered into with the same customer (or related parties of the customer) at or near the same time, those contracts are accounted for as a single contract if the services promised in the contracts are a single performance obligation.

  • 21 -

1) Revenue from container shipping service

Revenue from contracts with customers comes from providing container shipping services. As the Company provides container shipping services, customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Company’s performance. The Company recognizes the cargo revenue and contract asset on the basis of the percentage-of-completion. The contract assets are reclassified to trade receivables when the voyage is completed.

2) Other operating revenue

Other service revenue is recognized on an accrual basis during the service is rendered or upon the completion of service.

p. Leasing

At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.

For a contract that contains a lease component and non-lease components, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price and accounts for each component separately.

1) 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.

When the Company subleases a right-of-use asset, the sublease is classified by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. However, if the head lease is a short-term lease that the Company, as a lessee, has accounted for applying recognition exemption, the sublease is classified as an operating lease.

Under finance leases, the lease payments comprise fixed payments. The net investment in a lease is measured at (a) the present value of the sum of the lease payments receivable by a lessor and any unguaranteed residual value accrued to the lessor plus (b) initial direct costs and is presented as a finance lease receivable. Finance lease income is allocated to the relevant accounting periods so as to reflect a constant, periodic rate of return on the Company’s net investment outstanding in respect of 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.

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as income in the periods in which they are incurred.

2) 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.

  • 22 -

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. However, if leases transfer ownership of the underlying assets to the Company by the end of the lease terms or if the costs of right-of-use assets reflect that the Company will exercise a purchase option, the Company depreciates the right-of-use assets from the commencement dates to the end of the useful lives of the underlying assets.

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, 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 lessee’s incremental borrowing rate will be used.

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 the assessment of an option to purchase an underlying asset, 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, 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.

q. Government grants

Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants related to income are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes as expenses the related costs that the grants intend to compensate.

Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Company should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognized as deferred revenue and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.

Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Company with no future related costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are received.

r. Employee benefits

1) 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.

2) Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current and previous service cost) and net interest on the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period in which they occur or when the plan amendment or curtailment occurs. 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 it occurs. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.

Net defined benefit liabilities (assets) represent the actual deficit (surplus) in the Company’s defined benefit plans. 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.

3) Other long-term employee benefits

Other long-term employee benefits are accounted for in the same way as the accounting required for defined benefit plan except that remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss.

4) 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.

s. Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

1) Current tax

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.

2) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

  • 24 -

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused loss carryforwards 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, 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 recognized only 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 such temporary differences 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 assets 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 liabilities are settled or the assets are 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. If investment properties measured using the fair value model are non-depreciable assets, or are held under a business model whose objective is not to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the assets over time, the carrying amounts of such assets are presumed to be recovered entirely through sale.

The Company has applied the exception from the recognition and disclosure of deferred tax assets and liabilities relating to Pillar Two income taxes. Accordingly, the Company neither recognizes nor discloses information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.

3) Current and deferred taxes

Current and deferred taxes 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 and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

  1. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Company's accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates, 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 European Union environmental policies and regulations, the development of the Red Sea crisis, the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, economic environment implications of inflation and 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.

10. TRADE RECEIVABLES

December 31
2025 2024
Trade receivables
At amortized cost
Trade receivables - non-related parties $ 862,851 $ 626,670
Trade receivables - related parties 304,523 407,961
Less: Allowance for impairment loss (10,257) (3,387)
$ 1,157,117 $ 1,031,244

The average credit period of trade receivables from cargo business is 14 to 28 days.


The Company measures the loss allowance for trade receivables and contract assets at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on trade receivables and contract assets 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 debtors operate 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, and the Company's customers are scattered around the world and not related to each other. The management believes there is no significant concentration of credit risk for trade receivables. The provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished according to the Company's different customer base. The Company recognizes contract assets by the completion ratio of transportation. According to historical experience, the completion of the transportation period is within 60 days. The recognition method of the Company to assess contract assets that have expected credit loss is the same as the trade receivables, and it is assessed within 60 days after the invoice date.

The Company writes off trade receivables and contract assets when there is evidence indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. For trade receivables and contract assets 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.

For the trade receivables balances that were past due at the end of the reporting period, the Company did not recognize an allowance for impairment loss, because there was not a significant change in credit quality and the amounts were still considered recoverable. The Company acquired bank's guaranteed letter from agencies or received security deposit from clients; for the rest of the receivables, the Company did not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements for these balances.

The following table details the loss allowance of trade receivables based on the Company's provision matrix.

Current $ 63,682 $ 63,785
Non-current $ 381,095 $ 444,776

The Company entered into a finance lease arrangement for certain port equipment with a quarterly fixed lease payment of $11,042 thousand. In April 2025 and July 2024, due to unleash old equipment that needs to be retired, the Company agreed to reduce the rent to a fixed lease payment of $234 thousand and $426 thousand per quarter for the remaining lease period, respectively. Because the original lease agreement did not have a relevant rent adjustment mechanism, the abovementioned modification of the lease agreement reduced the adjustment of the finance lease receivable and recognized a loss on the lease modification of $529 thousand and $102 thousand, respectively.

The Company has been subleasing its container yard located in Keelung with monthly and quarterly fixed lease payments of $1,834 thousand and $1,796 thousand. Also, the Company has been subleasing its logistics center located in Kaohsiung with quarterly fixed lease payment of $10,804 thousand. As the Company subleases the container yard and the logistics center for all the remaining lease term of the main lease to the sublessees. The sublease contracts are classified as a finance lease.

The interest rates inherent in leases are fixed at the contract dates for the entire term of the lease. The range of interest rates inherent in the finance leases was approximately 0.40%-17.71% per annum as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.


The Company measures the loss allowance for finance lease receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. As of December 31, 2025, no finance lease receivable was past due. The Company has not recognized a loss allowance for finance lease receivables after taking into consideration the historical default experience and the future prospects of the industries in which the lessees operate, together with the value of collateral held over these finance lease receivables.

Aggregate information of associates that are not individually material

For the Year Ended December 31
2025 2024
The Company’s share of:
Net profit for the year $ 336,917 $ 429,264
Other comprehensive (loss) income (103,320) 144,674
Total comprehensive income for the year $ 233,597 $ 573,938

As of December 31, 2025, some of the equity investments that are not individually material and accounted for using the equity method showed signs of impairment. The management of the Company carried out the impairment tests individually for each equity investment by comparing its recoverable amounts with its carrying amounts. The recoverable amount of an investment in an associate is assessed individually for each associate. In determining the value in use of the investments, the Company estimated the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the operations of the invested companies and from the ultimate disposal by using discount rates of 9.80%. Based on the assessments, the total recoverable amounts of the Company's equity investments of those associates of $7,745 thousand (on the basis of their value-in-use) were less than their carrying amounts as of December 31, 2025.

As of December 31, 2024, some of the equity investments that are not individually material and accounted for using the equity method showed signs of impairment. The management of the Company carried out the impairment tests individually for each equity investment by comparing its recoverable amounts with its carrying amounts. The recoverable amount of an investment in an associate is assessed individually for each associate. In determining the value in use of the investments, the Company estimated the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the operations of the invested companies and from the ultimate disposal by using discount rates of 10.40%. Based on the assessments, the total recoverable amounts of the Company's equity investments of those associates of $9,448 thousand (on the basis of their value-in-use) were less than their carrying amounts as of December 31, 2024.

c. Material lease-in activities and terms

Many of the ship leases across the Company contain extension options, some of them also contain purchase options. These terms are used to maximize operational flexibility in terms of managing contracts. When the rents are lower than the market price of lease market, the Company will extend the lease term; when the purchase option prices are better than the market price, the Company will consider if the purchase options are exercised or not. These terms are not reflected in measuring lease liabilities in many cases because the options are not reasonably certain to be exercised. The table below summarizes potential future rental payments relating to periods following the exercise dates of extension and purchase options.

For the purpose of managing the storage, reforming, processing, transfer and distribution of goods, YMTC collaborated with the Port of Kaohsiung, Taiwan International Ports Corporation, Ltd. on the construction and operation of the First and Second Logistics Centers of the Kaohsiung Third Container Center. YMTC is entitled to the use of the First and Second Logistics Centers for 30 years and 28 years and 9 months, respectively, based on the initial investment made by YMTC. The Centers are amortized over the period in use. Furthermore, in accordance with the requirements, YMTC should pay land-use fees and administration fees for every month of the lease term (based on the actual volume of cargo stevedored). Administration fees depend on the lowest guaranteed volumes for each respective logistics center, which are 1 million and 0.88 million tons. If YMTC is unable to reach the lowest guaranteed volumes, it should calculate the payment for the administration fees based on the volumes of 1 million and 0.88 million tons, respectively, and the administration fees will be adjusted under the annual Wholesale Price Index in Taiwan.

To reduce the residual asset risk related to investment properties at the end of the relevant lease, the lease contract includes lessee's use limitation, guarantee deposit, punishment of breaching contracts, and responsibilities of maintenance, and the Company follows its general risk management strategy.


The fair values of investment properties measured on a recurring basis were as follows:

December 31
2025 2024
Independent valuation $ 8,333,281 $ 7,669,028

As of December 31, 2025, the fair value was based on the valuations carried out on March 3, 2026, by independent qualified professional valuers, Mr. Zhi-Hau Wu, and Mr. Xin-Jie Chang, certified real estate appraisers in the ROC and real estate appraisal firm from CCIS Real Estate Joint Appraisers Firm.

As of December 31, 2024, the fair value was based on the valuations carried out on March 3, 2025, by independent qualified professional valuers, Mr. Hong-Kai Zhang, Mr. Yi-Zhi Zhang, Mr. Shi-Yu Yeh and Mr. Cheng-Yeh Wu, certified real estate appraisers in the ROC and the real estate appraisal firm from Savills (Taiwan) Limited.

The movements in the fair value of investment properties within Level 3 of the hierarchy were as follows:

The fair value of investment properties, except for undeveloped land, is measured using the income approach. The significant assumptions used were stated below. An increase in estimated future net cash inflows or a decrease in discount rates would result in an increase in the fair value.

December 31
2025 2024
Expected future cash inflows $ 8,575,857 $ 8,060,039
Expected future cash outflows (466,991) (425,635)
Expected future cash inflows, net $ 8,108,866 $ 7,634,404
Discount rates 2.470%-4.895% 3.345%-3.845%

The market rentals in the area where the investment property is located were between $0.4-$3.7 thousand and $0.5-$3.0 thousand per ping (35.59 square feet) in 2025 and 2024, respectively. The market rentals for comparable properties were between $0.5-$4.4 thousand and $0.5-$3.0 thousand per ping (35.59 square feet) in 2025 and 2024, respectively.


The expected future cash inflows generated by investment property included rental income, interest income on rental deposits and disposal value. The rental income was extrapolated using the Company's current rental rate, taking into account the annual rental growth rate; the income analysis covers a 2-year to 10-year period, the interest income on rental deposits was extrapolated using the average deposit interest rate of the top five banks announced by the Central Bank of the Republic of China for a 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, insurance premium, and maintenance costs. The expenditure was extrapolated on the basis of the current level of expenditure, 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 using the interest rate for 2-year time deposits as posted by Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd., and any asset-specific risk premiums of 0.10%-2.43% and 0.875%-1.50% in 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The fair value of undeveloped land located in area Keelung, Taipei, and Kaohsiung was measured by land development analysis. The increase in estimated total sale price, the increase in rate of return, or the decrease in overall capital interest rate would result in increase in the fair value. The significant assumptions used were as follows:

December 31
2025 2024
Estimated total sales price $ 6,491,941 $ 5,798,568
Rate of return 13%-24% 13%-20%
Overall capital interest rate 1.75%-5.11% 1.99%-8.42%

The rate of returns was determined by reference to the annual profit rate and construction period of the similar product constructed by competitors. Overall capitalization rate referred to current average benchmark interest rate and deposit interest rate of the top five banks, and to the proportion of equity funds and borrowed funds.

21. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

a. Defined contribution plans

YMTC’s pension plans under the Labor Pension Act (LPA) for onshore employees and shipping crews are defined contribution schemes. Starting on July 1, 2005, the Company makes monthly contributions to the employees’ individual pension accounts in the Bureau of Labor Insurance at 6% of employees’ salaries every month.


For domestic crews providing service in foreign ships, pension plan is based on hiring contracts, the Company makes monthly contributions to the employees' account together with salaries.

b. Defined benefit plans

YMTC has adopted three pension plans since it was privatized on February 15, 1996. Before YMTC's privatization, qualified employees received pension payments for service years before the start of the privatization. The service years of the employees who received pre-privatization pension payments and continued to work in YMTC after privatization will be excluded from the calculation of pension payments after privatization. These plans are as follows:

The pension plan under the Labor Standards Act for onshore employees is a defined benefit plan. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the six months before retirement. The Company contributed amounts equal to 3% of salaries every month. The pension fund is administered by the pension fund monitoring committee and deposited in the committee's name in the Bank of Taiwan. 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 insufficient 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.

Pension plan under the Maritime Labor Law for shipping crews is a defined benefit plan. Before the adoption of the ROC Maritime Labor Law, benefits were based on the amounts stated in the crew's hiring contracts. Under the Law, benefits are based on service years and average basic salary of the six months before retirement.

Pension plan for retired employees of China Merchants Steamship Navigation Company (CMSNC) provides benefits based on service years and level of monthly basic salary at the time of retirement.

Because of spin-off, the service years of the employees transferred to other subsidiaries are continued from the service years in YMTC. Benefits are based on the proportion of service years between YMTC and other subsidiaries, and are paid by individual pension accounts.

The Company and its subsidiaries, All Oceans Transportation Inc., Yang Ming (UK) Ltd.'s and Yang Ming (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. recognize pension expenses for each entity based on the actuarially determined consolidated pension cost and the agreed allocation ratio.

The amounts included in the balance sheets in respect of the Company's defined benefit plans were as follows:

December 31
2025 2024
Present value of defined benefit obligation $ 2,681,046 $ 2,707,854
Fair value of plan assets (1,571,032) (1,335,828)
Net defined benefit liabilities $ 1,110,014 $ 1,372,026

An analysis by function of the amounts recognized in profit or loss in respect of the defined benefit plans is as follows:

For the Year Ended December 31
2025 2024
Current service cost $ 44,271 $ 50,871
Net interest expense 20,952 21,555
Less: Other receivables - related (13,029) (14,735)
$ 52,194 $ 57,691
An analysis by function
Operating costs $ 24,303 $ 22,947
Selling and marketing expenses 21,519 26,924
General and administrative expenses 6,372 7,820
$ 52,194 $ 57,691

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Act, the Company is exposed to the following risks:

1) 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.

2) 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.

3) 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 are as follows:

December 31
2025 2024
Discount rates 1.40% 1.70%
Expected rates of salary increase 2.75% 2.75%

If possible reasonable change in each of the significant actuarial assumptions will occur and all other assumptions will remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:

December 31
2025 2024
Discount rates
0.50% increase $ (116,489) $ (115,947)
0.50% decrease $ 124,588 $ 124,741
Expected rates of salary increase
0.50% increase $ 124,159 $ 122,842
0.50% decrease $ (116,303) $ (115,378)

The above sensitivity analysis may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that changes in assumptions will occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

December 31
2025 2024
Expected contributions to the plans for the next year $ 18,522 $ 243,993
Average duration of the defined benefit obligation 8-11.7 years 7.9-11.2 years

c. In accordance with the relevant employee separation policies, the Company recognized severance payments and termination benefits of $17,915 thousand and $18,347 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

b. Capital surplus

2025 2024
May be used to offset a deficit, distributed as cash dividends, or transferred to share capital
Issuance of ordinary shares $ 27,975,030 $ 27,975,030

Such capital surplus may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Company has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to share capital (limited to a certain percentage of the Company's capital surplus and to once a year).

c. Retained earnings and dividends policy

Under the dividends policy as set forth in the Company's Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles"), when the Company makes a profit in a fiscal year, at least 25% of the remaining profit should be distributed as dividends after the profit has been utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years, setting aside as legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit, setting aside or reversing a special reserve in accordance with the expansion of transportation equipment and improvement of financial structure, and distributing dividends for preference shares. The Company's board of directors should consider long-term financial plans, the change in the environment of the industry, capital expenditures, the working capital for operation and the shareholders' interests as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in the shareholders' meeting. At least 20% of the amount declared as dividends for ordinary shares should be in the form of cash as opposed to stock. For the policies on the distribution of compensation of employees and remuneration of directors, refer to compensation of employees and remuneration of directors in Note 24-h.

Appropriation of earnings to the legal reserve shall at least be made until the legal reserve equals the Company's paid-in capital. The legal reserve may be used to offset a 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 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 are not sufficient.


The appropriation of earnings for 2024 and 2023 approved in the shareholders' meeting on May 29, 2025 and May 24, 2024, respectively, were as follows:

For the Year Ended December 31
2024 2023
Legal reserve $ 6,428,289 $ 475,457
(Reversal of) special reserve $ (829,622) $ 947,930
Cash dividends $ 26,190,782 $ 6,984,208
Cash dividends per share (NT$) $ 7.5 $ 2

The appropriations of earnings for 2025, which were proposed by the Company's board of directors on March 12, 2026, were as follows:

For the Year Ended December 31, 2025
Legal reserve $ 1,706,408
Special reserve $ 708,806
Cash dividends $ 6,984,209
Cash dividends per share (NT$) $ 2

The appropriation of earnings for 2025 will be resolved by the shareholders in their meeting to be held on May 29, 2026.

d. Special reserve

Special reserve should be appropriated for the amount equal to the net debit balance reserves. Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent that the net debit balance reverses and thereafter distributed.

On the initial application of fair value model to investment properties, the Company appropriated for a special reserve at the amount that were the same as the net increase arising from fair value measurement and transferred to retained earnings. Additional special reserve should be appropriated for subsequent net increase in fair value. The amount appropriated may be reversed to the extent that the cumulative net increases in fair value decrease or on the disposal of investment properties. If the Company offsets the deficit with special reserves before the reason for appropriating special reserves eliminated, the Company should compensate the special reserves before appropriating earnings.

Contract liabilities - current
Advance on contract $ 89,609 $ 370,802 $ 170,373

The Company measures the loss allowance for contract assets at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The contract assets will be transferred to accounts receivable when the container shipping services have been completed, and the contract assets have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables for the same types of contracts. Therefore, the Company concluded that the expected loss rates for trade receivables can be applied to the contract assets (Note 10).

The movements of the loss allowance of contract assets were as follows:

For the Year Ended December 31
2025 2024
Balance on January 1 $ 2,202 $ 1,119
Add: Net remeasurement of loss allowance 3,190 1,083
Balance on December 31 $ 5,392 $ 2,202

The changes in the balance of contract assets and contract liabilities primarily result from the timing difference between the Company's performance and the respective customer's payment.

3) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 3 fair value measurement

The fair values of domestic unlisted ordinary shares and domestic limited partnership are determined using the comparable company analysis approach and asset-based approach. The comparable company analysis approach is a way to determine the value of a target company by reference to companies engaged in the similar industry, stock price in the active market and value multiplier implied by such prices, based on liquidity reduction. The asset-based approach is a way to determine the value of a target company by assessing the total value of individual assets and liabilities, based on liquidity reduction.

2) The balances included financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, which comprise trade payables (including related parties), other payables, and bonds payable.

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company's major financial instruments include equity and debt investments, trade receivables, financial assets at amortized cost, trade payables, other payables, bonds payable, borrowings and lease liabilities. The Company's Corporate Treasury function provides all kinds of financial service to each division by using different financial instruments. Also, the treasury function controls and analyzes the financial risks related to operations; these risks include market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Company sought to minimize the effects of these risks by managing stocks and flow and using derivative financial instruments to hedge risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives was governed by the Company's policies "Regulations Governing the Acquisition and Disposal of Assets" approved by the board of directors. Compliance with policies was reviewed by the internal auditors on a continuous basis.

1) Market risk

The Company's activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (a) below) and interest rates (see (b) below). The Company uses assets, liabilities and a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk.

There had been no change to the Company's exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.

a) Foreign currency risk

The Company's operations involve foreign currency transactions so the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk. The Company's transaction involves contain various currencies due to its industrial feature, operating revenue and operating costs are mainly denominated in U.S. dollars. Exchange rate exposures were managed within approved policy parameters utilizing net cash flows offset of the influence on net assets and liabilities, instruments of swap and options.

The carrying amounts of the Company's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities are set out in Note 33.


Sensitivity analysis

Monetary assets and liabilities were mainly exposed to the U.S. dollars, GBP, CNY, EUR, HKD, JPY and AUD.

The following table details the Company's sensitivity to a 1% increase and decrease in New Taiwan dollars (the functional currency) against the U.S. dollars, GBP, CNY, EUR, HKD, JPY and AUD. 1% 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 adjusted their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 1% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in pre-tax profit (loss) associated with New Taiwan dollars weakening 1% against U.S. dollars, GBP, CNY, EUR, HKD, JPY and AUD. For a 1% strengthening of New Taiwan dollars against the U.S. dollars, GBP, CNY, EUR, HKD, JPY and AUD, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit (loss).

Profit (Loss)/Equity of 1% Variation For the Year Ended December 31
2025 2024
Profit or loss (i)
U.S. dollars $ (110,256) $ 36,154
GBP 42,005 42,536
CNY 3,729 3,541
EUR 41,633 75,593
HKD (841) 798
JPY 25,066 17,307
AUD 17,274 19,293
Equity (ii)
U.S. dollars (451,457) (429,022)

i. This was mainly attributable to the exposure of outstanding foreign currency deposits, repurchase bonds, corporate bonds, receivables, and payables at the end of the reporting period.
ii. This was mainly attribute to the exposure of changing in foreign exchange rates of U.S. dollars demand and time deposit and lease contracts designated as cash flow hedge.

The Company's sensitivity to foreign currency changes during the current period was mainly due to the decrease in EUR, GBP and AUD monetary net assets caused by the decrease in EUR, GBP and AUD monetary assets; the increase in CNY monetary net assets caused by the decrease in CNY monetary liability; the increase in JPY monetary net assets caused by the increase in JPY monetary assets; the increase in U.S. dollar and HKD monetary net liability caused by the decrease in U.S. dollar and HKD monetary assets.

Hedge accounting

The Company's hedging strategy is to enter into USD-denominated demand deposits and time deposits to avoid exchange rate exposure of highly possible USD-denominated payments for ship purchases. Those transactions are designated as cash flow hedges.

The Company expects that the value of the U.S. dollars demand deposits and time deposits will have systematically changed in opposite directions with the value of corresponding hedged items.


The source of hedge ineffectiveness in these hedging relationships is the USD-denominated demand deposits and time deposits are not paid for USD-denominated ship purchases.

There was no other source of hedge ineffectiveness during hedging period.

The Company's hedging strategy is to enter into USD-denominated lease liabilities to avoid exchange rate exposure of 100% of highly probable forecast of USD-denominated operating revenue. Those transactions are designated as cash flow hedges.

The Company expects that the value of the U.S. dollars lease liabilities and the value of the corresponding hedged items will systematically change in opposite directions.

The source of hedge ineffectiveness in these hedging relationships is the USD-denominated operating revenue of the Company is lower than the distribution amount of settlement of lease liabilities.

There was no other source of hedge ineffectiveness during hedging period.

Refer to Notes 6 and 15-b for information relating to foreign exchange rates hedging instruments.

b) Interest rate risk

The Company was exposed to interest rate risk because the Company borrowed funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings.

The carrying amount 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 $ 20,877,009 $ 67,445,852
Financial liabilities 67,364,441 80,046,278
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial assets 13,280,917 16,457,323
Financial liabilities - -

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the Company's exposure to interest rates for both derivatives and non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 10 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 10 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company's pre-tax profit (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025 would have increased/decreased by $13,281 thousand, which was mainly attributable to the Company's exposure to interest rates on its variable-rate financial assets.


If interest rates had been 10 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s pre-tax profit (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2024 would have increased/decreased by $16,457 thousand, which was mainly attributable to the Company’s exposure to interest rates on its variable-rate financial assets.

The Company’s sensitivity to interest rate decreased during the current year mainly due to the decrease in variable-rate financial assets.

c) Other price risk

The Company was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in listed equity securities, and exposed to other price risk through its investments in limited partnership and mutual funds. The Company periodically evaluates price risk and investment performance according to procedures of acquisition and disposal of assets and expects no significant price risk occurred.

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 5% higher/lower, pre-tax profit (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025 would have increased/decreased by $25,036 thousand, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTPL, and the other comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025 would have increased/decreased by $27,742 thousand, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI.

If equity prices had been 5% higher/lower, pre-tax profit (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2024 would have increased/decreased by $21,129 thousand, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTPL, and the other comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2024 would have increased/decreased by $26,426 thousand, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI.

If limited partnership and mutual funds had been 5% higher/lower, pre-tax profit (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025 would have increased/decreased by $923,649 thousand, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTPL.

If limited partnership and mutual funds had been 5% higher/lower, pre-tax profit (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2024 would have increased/decreased by $129,655 thousand, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTPL.

The Company’s sensitivity to investments in equity securities has not changed significantly from the prior year. The Company’s sensitivity to limited partnership and mutual fund prices increased during the current year, mainly due to the increase in investment positions of financial assets at FVTPL.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a 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 counterparties to discharge an obligation and financial guarantees provided by the Company could arise from:

a) The carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the balance sheets; and

  • 66 -

b) The maximum amount of the Company would have to pay if the financial guarantee is called upon.

There is no significant concentration of credit risk for the Company. Credit risk is from cash and cash equivalents deposit in banks, derivative financial instruments transactions with banks and financial institutions and trade receivables from customers.

The Company adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient letter of bank guarantee and security deposit, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. To reduce credit risk, the Company has established an internal monitoring procedure to monitor credit risk exposure and credit condition of counterparties.

The credit risk on liquid funds and derivatives was limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by credit-rating agencies.

Financial credit risk

The objective of the Company's investment policy is to achieve a return that will allow the Company to preserve principal and support liquidity requirements. The Company mitigates its financial credit risk by selecting counterparties with investment grade credit ratings, by limiting the exposure to any individual counterparty, and by regularly reviewing the market conditions and monitoring risk.

The Company assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk in the invested securities since initial recognition by reviewing changes in external credit ratings, financial market conditions and material information of the issuers. The Company assesses the 12-month expected credit loss and lifetime expected credit loss based on the probability of default and loss given default provided by external credit rating agencies. The current credit risk assessment policies are as follows:

Category Description Basis for Recognizing Expected Credit Loss Expected Credit Loss Ratio
Performing Credit rating is investment grade on valuation date 12 months expected credit loss 0.0125%-0.0318%
Doubtful Credit rating is non-investment grade on valuation date Lifetime expected credit loss-not credit impaired -
In default Credit rating is CC or below on valuation date Lifetime expected credit loss-credit impaired -
Write-off There is evidence indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and the Company has no realistic prospect of recovery Amount is written off -

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the expected credit loss decreased $258 thousand and increased $237 thousand, respectively. The changes were mainly due to adjusted investment amount and investment portfolio.

3) 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.


The Company relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had available unutilized bank loans facilities of $9,342,828 thousand and $9,112,387 thousand, respectively.

a) Liquidity and interest risk rate tables

The following table details 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 from the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay. The tables included both interest and principal cash flows. Specifically, bank loans with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed repayment dates.

Based on expectations at the end of the reporting period, the management considers that it is more likely than not that no amount will be payable under the arrangement.

b) Derivative instruments

The Company did not have outstanding derivative instruments contracts for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
