Insights

Q1 2026 shows strong profit expansion on modest revenue growth.

UMC grew revenue to NT$61.0 billion while expanding operating income to NT$11.3 billion. Net income jumped to NT$16.1 billion, supported by higher gross profit and a sharp swing in non-operating items, including equity-method gains and fair value gains.

Share of profit from associates and joint ventures reached NT$2.8 billion, compared with a loss in the prior year period, and gains on financial instruments at fair value added NT$2.1 billion. These items make earnings more sensitive to market valuations and investee performance, so their sustainability depends on future results.

Cash from operations was a solid NT$22.0 billion, alongside capital expenditures of NT$12.5 billion, indicating continued investment in capacity and technology. Total equity increased to NT$406.7 billion as of March 31, 2026, strengthening the balance sheet.

Review Report of Independent Auditors

 

To United Microelectronics Corporation

 

Introduction

 

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of United Microelectronics Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “the Company”) as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the summary of material accounting policies (together “the consolidated financial statements”). Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed and became effective by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

 

Scope of Review

 

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” of the Republic of China. A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Conclusion

 

Based on our reviews and the review reports of other independent auditors (please refer to the Other Matter paragraph of our report), nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, and its consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed and became effective by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Other Matter – Making Reference to the Reviews of Other Independent Auditors

 

We did not review the financial statement of certain associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method. Our review, insofar as it related to the investments accounted for under the equity method balances of NT$31,365 million and NT$26,838 million, which represented 5.23% and 4.68% of the total consolidated assets as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, the related shares of profit or loss from the associates and joint ventures in the amount of NT$2,287 million and NT$(258) million, which represented 13.74% and (2.76)% of the consolidated income from continuing operations before income tax for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and the related shares of other comprehensive income (loss) from the associates and joint ventures in the amount of NT$229 million and NT$71 million, which represented 0.87% and 0.58% of the consolidated total comprehensive income (loss) for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, are based solely on the reports of other independent auditors.

2.
DATE AND PROCEDURES OF AUTHORIZATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR ISSUE

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors’ meeting on April 29, 2026.

 

3.
NEWLY ISSUED OR REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS

 

(1)
The Company applied International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), International Accounting Standards (“IAS”), and Interpretations issued, revised or amended which are endorsed by Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) and become effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. There are no newly adopted or revised standards and interpretations that have material impact on the Company’s financial position and performance.

 

(2)
Standards issued by International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) but not yet endorsed by FSC (the effective dates are to be determined by FSC) are listed below:

 

 

 

New, Revised or Amended Standards and Interpretations

 

Effective Date issued by IASB

IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” - Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture

 

To be determined by IASB

IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements”

 

January 1, 2027 (Note)

IFRS 19 “Disclosure Initiative - Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures”

 

January 1, 2027

Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency (Amendments to IAS 21 and IAS 29)

Note: The FSC issued a press release on September 25, 2025, announcing the plan for public companies to adopt IFRS 18 starting from the fiscal year 2028. In addition, entities in Taiwan with a need for early adoption may elect to early adopt IFRS 18 upon approval by the FSC.

 

The potential effects of adopting the standards or interpretations issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by FSC on the Company’s financial statements in future periods are summarized as below:

 

a.
Amendments to IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” (IFRS 10) and IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” (IAS 28) - Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture

 

The amendments address the inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and IAS 28, in dealing with the loss of control of a subsidiary that is contributed to an associate or a joint venture. IAS 28 restricts gains and losses arising from contributions of non-monetary assets to an associate or a joint venture to the extent of the interest attributable to the other equity holders in the associate or joint ventures. IFRS 10 requires full profit or loss recognition on the loss of control of the subsidiary. IAS 28 was amended so that the gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of assets that constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” (IFRS 3) between an investor and its associate or joint venture is recognized in full.

 

IFRS 10 was also amended so that the gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of a subsidiary that does not constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 between an investor and its associate or joint venture is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in the associate or joint venture.

 

b.
IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” (IFRS 18)

IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The main changes in the new standard are as below:

 

i.
Improved comparability in the statement of profit or loss (income statement)

 

IFRS 18 requires entities to classify all income and expenses within their statement of profit or loss into one of five categories: operating; investing; financing; income taxes; and discontinued operations. The first three categories are new, to improve the structure of the income statement, and requires all entities to provide new defined subtotals, including operating profit or loss. The improved structure and new subtotals will give investors a consistent starting point for analyzing entities’ performance and make it easier to compare entities.

11


 

 

ii.
Enhanced transparency of management-defined performance measures

 

IFRS 18 requires entities to disclose explanations of those entity-specific measures that are related to the income statement, referred to as management-defined performance measures.

 

iii.
Useful grouping of information in the financial statements

 

IFRS 18 sets out enhanced guidance on how to organize information and whether to provide it in the primary financial statements or in the notes. The changes are expected to provide more detailed and useful information. IFRS 18 also requires entities to provide more transparency about operating expenses, helping investors to find and understand the information they need.

 

The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the aforementioned standards and interpretations listed (a) - (b) to the Company’s financial position and performance, and the related impact will be disclosed when the evaluation is completed.

 

4.

The collection periods for third party domestic sales and third party overseas sales were month-end 30 - 60 days and net 30 - 60 days, respectively.

 

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date to measure expected credit losses (ECLs) of accounts receivable. For the receivables past due within 60 days, including not past due, the Company estimates an expected credit loss rate to calculate ECLs. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the expected credit loss rates were not greater than 0.2%. The rate is determined based on the Company’s historical credit loss experience and customer’s current financial condition, adjusted for forward-looking factors such as customer’s economic environment. For the receivables past due over 60 days, the Company applies the aforementioned rate and assesses individually whether to recognize additional expected credit losses by considering customer’s operating condition and debt-paying ability.

Note A:
In August 2023, the board chairman of SIS changed and became the same person as the board chairman of UMC. After considering the comprehensive conditions, including ownership interest held and representation on Board of Directors of SIS, etc., the Company determines that it has significant influence over SIS and accounts for its investment in SIS as an associate.

 

Note B:
Beginning from June 2015, the Company accounts for its investment in FARADAY as an associate given the fact that UMC obtained the ability to exercise significant influence over FARADAY through representation on its Board of Directors.

 

Note C:
Beginning from June 2020, the Company accounts for its investment in UNIMICRON as an associate given the fact that UMC obtained the ability to exercise significant influence over UNIMICRON through representation on its Board of Directors. The Company participated in the capital increase of UNIMICRON in January 2026. Please refer to Note 7 for the relevant information.

 

Note D:
When the Company’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in that associate, the Company discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses and liabilities are recognized only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of that associate.

 

Note E:
TRIKNIGHT executed a capital reduction and refunded NT$79 million and NT$232 million based on UMC’s stockholding percentage in March 2026 and June 2025, respectively.

 

Note F:
In August 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company’s subsidiary, TERA ENERGY, resolved to merge with PURIUMFIL INC., with TERA ENERGY as the surviving company. The effective date of merger is October 3, 2025.

 

Note G:
HSUN CHIEH executed a capital reduction and refunded NT$343 million based on UMC’s stockholding percentage in March 2025. As of March 31, 2025, NT$343 million of the abovementioned refunds have not yet been received and were accounted for as other receivables.

 

Note H:
VSENSE has ceased operations. The Company’s subsidiary no longer participates in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, therefore losing significant influence over it. Accordingly, the investment was discontinued from being accounted for under the equity method and was reclassified as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss.

 

Note I:
The Company follows international accounting practices in equity accounting for limited partnerships and uses the equity method to account for these investees. The investee was dissolved in April 2025.

20


 

The carrying amount of investments accounted for using the equity method for which there are published price quotations amounted to NT$22,620 million, NT$20,488 million and NT$19,792 million as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The fair value of these investments were NT$100,227 million, NT$54,202 million and NT$30,773 million as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

 

Certain investments accounted for under the equity method were reviewed by other independent accountants. Shares of profit or loss of these associates and joint ventures amounted to NT$2,287 million and NT$(258) million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Share of other comprehensive income (loss) of these associates and joint ventures amounted to NT$229 million and NT$71 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The balances of investments accounted for under the equity method were NT$31,365 million, NT$27,981 million and NT$26,838 million as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

 

Although the Company is the largest shareholder of some associates, after comprehensive assessment, the Company does not own the major voting rights as the remaining voting rights holders are able to align and prevent the Company from ruling the relevant operation. Therefore, the Company does not control but has significant influence over the aforementioned associates.

 

None of the aforementioned associates were pledged.

 

b.
Financial information of associates:

 

There is no individually significant associate for the Company. When an associate is a foreign operation, and the functional currency of the foreign entity is different from the Company, an exchange difference arising from translation of the foreign entity will be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Such exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) in the financial statements for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were NT$13 million and NT$9 million, respectively, which were not included in the following table.

 

The aggregate amount of the Company’s share of all its individually immaterial associates that are accounted for using the equity method were as follows:

b.
On July 7, 2021, UMC issued SGX-ST listed currency linked zero coupon exchangeable bonds. In accordance with IFRS 9, the value of the exchange right, call option and put option (together referred to as Option) of the exchangeable bonds was separated from the host and accounted for as “financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, current”. The effective rate of the host bond was 3.49%. The terms and conditions of the bonds are as follows:

 

i.
Issue Amount: USD 400 million

 

ii.
Period: July 7, 2021 - July 7, 2026 (Maturity Date)

 

iii.
Redemption:
(i)
UMC may, at its option, redeem in whole or in part at the principal amount of the bonds with an interest calculated at the rate of -0.625% per annum (the Early Redemption Amount) at any time after the third anniversary from the issue date and prior to the Maturity Date, if the closing price of the common shares of NOVATEK MICROELECTRONICS CORPORATION (NOVATEK) on the TWSE, converted into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate, for 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days prior to the publication of the redemption notice is at least 130% of the quotient of the Early Redemption Amount multiplied by the then exchange price (converted into U.S. dollars at the Fixed Exchange Rate), divided by the principal amount of the bonds. The Early Redemption Amount will be converted into NTD based on the Fixed Exchange Rate (NTD 27.902=USD 1.00), and this fixed NTD amount will then be converted using the prevailing exchange rate at the time of redemption for payment in USD.
(ii)
UMC may redeem the outstanding bonds in whole, but not in part, at the Early Redemption Amount, in the event that over 90% of the bonds have been previously redeemed, repurchased and cancelled or exchanged.
(iii)
In the event of any change in ROC taxation resulting in increase of tax obligation or the necessity to pay additional interest expense or increase of additional costs to UMC, UMC may redeem the outstanding bonds in whole, but not in part, at the Early Redemption Amount. Bondholders may elect not to have their bonds redeemed but with no entitlement to any additional amounts or reimbursement of additional taxes.
(iv)
All or any portion of the bonds will be redeemable at put price at the option of bondholders on July 7, 2024 at 98.14% of the principal amount.
(v)
In the event that the common shares of NOVATEK cease to be listed or are suspended from trading for a period equal to or exceeding 30 consecutive trading days on the TWSE, each bondholder shall have the right to require UMC to redeem the bonds, in whole but not in part, at the Early Redemption Amount.
(vi)
Upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the indenture) of UMC, each bondholder shall have the right to require UMC to redeem the bonds, in whole but not in part, at the Early Redemption Amount.

30


 

iv.
Terms of Exchange:
(i)
Underlying Securities: Common Shares of NOVATEK
(ii)
Exchange Period: The bonds are exchangeable at any time on or after October 8, 2021 and prior to June 27, 2026, into NOVATEK common shares.

If for any reason UMC does not have sufficient NOVATEK common shares to deliver upon the exchange of any bond, then, UMC will pay to the exchanging bondholder an amount in U.S. dollars equal to the product of the volume-weighted average closing price per NOVATEK common share on the TWSE for five consecutive trading days starting from and including the applicable exercise date (as defined in the indenture) (or such fewer number of trading days as are available within ten days starting from and including the applicable exercise date) each converted into USD at the prevailing rate on the day preceding the applicable trading day and the number of NOVATEK common shares that UMC is unable to deliver. Provided, however, that if the exercise date falls within 5 business days from the beginning of, and during, any closed period, the right of the converting holder of the bonds to vote with respect to the shares it receives will be subject to certain restrictions.

(iii)
Exchange Price and Adjustment: The exchange price was originally NT$731.25 per NOVATEK common share. The exchange price will be subject to adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events set out in the indenture. The exchange price was NT$479.8 per NOVATEK common share on March 31, 2026.

 

v.
Redemption on the Maturity Date:

The bonds will be redeemed with 96.92% principal amount on the maturity date unless:

(i)
UMC shall have redeemed the bonds at the option of UMC, or the bonds shall have been redeemed at option of the bondholder,
(ii)
The bondholders shall have exercised the exchange right before maturity, or
(iii)
The bonds shall have been redeemed or repurchased by UMC and cancelled.

 

On July 7, 2024, there were no bondholders that required UMC to redeem the outstanding exchangeable bonds.

 

As of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, UMC has cumulatively repurchased and cancelled the outstanding principal amount of exchangeable bonds totaling USD 187.1 million as of each date, with derecognition of the related derivative financial liabilities.

Post-Employment Benefits

 

a.
Defined contribution plan

 

The employee pension plan under the Labor Pension Act of R.O.C. is a defined contribution plan. Pursuant to the plan, UMC and its domestic subsidiaries make monthly contributions of 6% based on each individual employee’s salary or wage to employees’ pension accounts. Pension benefits for employees of the Singapore branch and subsidiaries overseas are provided in accordance with the local regulations. Total pension expenses of NT$555 million and NT$507 million were contributed by the Company for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

32


 

b.
Defined benefit plan

 

The employee pension plan mandated by the Labor Standards Act of R.O.C. is a defined benefit plan. The pension benefits are disbursed based on the units of service years and average monthly salary prior to retirement according to the Labor Standards Act. Two units per year are awarded for the first 15 years of services while one unit per year is awarded after the completion of the 15th year and the total units will not exceed 45 units. The Company contributes an amount equivalent to 2% of the employees’ total salaries and wages on a monthly basis to the pension fund deposited with the Bank of Taiwan under the name of a pension fund supervisory committee. The pension fund is managed by the government’s designated authorities and therefore is not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Pension cost for an interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the actuarially determined pension cost rate at the end of the prior financial year. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, total pension expenses of NT$4 million and NT$7 million, respectively, were recognized by the Company.

Equity

 

a.
Capital stock:

 

i.
UMC had 26,000 million common shares authorized to be issued as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, of which 12,579 million shares, 12,588 million shares, and 12,558 million shares were issued as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively, each at a par value of NT$10.

 

ii.
UMC had 150 million, 117 million and 87 million ADSs, which were traded on the NYSE as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The total number of common shares of UMC represented by all issued ADSs were 749 million shares, 586 million and 433 million shares as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. One ADS represents five common shares.

 

iii.
On December 5, 2025, UMC issued restricted stocks for its employees in a total of 33 million shares with a par value of NT$10 each. The aforementioned issuance of new shares was approved by the competent authority and the registration was completed. Please refer to Note 6(20) for the information of restricted stocks.

 

iv.
In February 2026, October 2025, July 2025, April 2025 and February 2025, UMC has recalled and cancelled 10 million shares, 1 million shares, 0.18 million shares, 2 million shares and 2 million shares, respectively of unvested restricted stocks issued for employees according to the issuance plan. The aforementioned reduction of capital was approved by the competent authority and the registration was completed.

 

b.
Retained earnings and dividend policies:

 

According to UMC’s Articles of Incorporation, current year’s earnings, if any, shall be distributed in the following order:

 

i.
Payment of taxes.
ii.
Making up loss for preceding years.
iii.
Setting aside 10% for legal reserve, except for when accumulated legal reserve has reached UMC’s paid-in capital.
iv.
Appropriating or reversing special reserve by government officials or other regulations.
v.
The remaining, in addition to the previous year’s unappropriated earnings, UMC shall distribute it according to the distribution plan proposed by the Board of Directors according to the dividend policy and submitted to the shareholders’ meeting for approval.

35


 

Because UMC conducts business in a capital intensive industry and continues to operate in its growth phase, the dividend policy of UMC shall be determined pursuant to factors such as the investment environment, its funding requirements, domestic and overseas competitive landscape and its capital expenditure forecast, as well as shareholders’ interest, balancing dividends and UMC’s long-term financial planning. The Board of Directors shall propose the distribution plan and submit it to the shareholders’ meeting every year. The distribution of shareholders’ dividend shall be allocated as cash dividend in the range of 20% to 100%, and stock dividend in the range of 0% to 80%.

 

According to the regulations of Taiwan FSC, UMC is required to appropriate a special reserve in the amount equal to the sum of debit elements under equity, such as unrealized loss on financial instruments and debit balance of exchange differences on translation of foreign operations, at every year-end. Such special reserve is prohibited from distribution. However, if any of the debit elements is reversed, the special reserve in the amount equal to the reversal may be released for offsetting accumulated deficits or earnings distribution.

 

The appropriation of earnings for 2024 was approved by the shareholders’ meeting held on May 28, 2025, while the appropriation of earnings for 2025 was proposed by the Board of Directors’ meeting on February 25, 2026. The details of appropriation were as follows:

The aforementioned restricted stock plans for employees are issued gratuitously and have a duration of four years. Beginning from the end of two years since the date of grant, those employees who fulfill both service period and performance conditions set by UMC are gradually eligible to the vested restricted stocks at certain percentage and time frame. For those employees who fail to fulfill the vesting conditions, UMC will recall and cancel their stocks without consideration. Before any employee who has been granted restricted stock award shares fulfills the vesting conditions, the rights of the restricted stocks to attendance, proposal, statement, voting and election at the shareholders’ meeting shall be exercised by an entrusted institution according to a custodial agreement. Other rights of restricted stocks including but not limited to, the right to distribution of cash dividends, stock dividends, legal reserves and capital reserves, and the preemptive right for new shares of capital increase by cash, shall be the same as those of the outstanding common shares of UMC, but are restricted from selling, pledging, setting guarantee, transferring, granting, or disposing of the restricted stocks in any other ways. Related information can be obtained from the “Market Observation Post System” on the website of the TWSE.

 

The 2024 restricted stock plan for employees includes market conditions. The compensation cost for these market conditions was measured at fair value initially by using Monte Carlo Simulation on the grant date. The assumptions used are as follows:

For the aforementioned plans, the unvested restricted stocks issued on the grant date for employees are recognized in unearned employee compensation as a transitional contra equity account and such account shall be amortized as compensation expense over the vesting period. The restricted stock plan, which was implemented in 2020, expired in June 2025. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the compensation costs of NT$233 million and NT$207 million, respectively, were recognized in expenses by the Company.

b.
Stock appreciation right plan for employees

 

In June 2021, the Company’s subsidiaries executed a compensation plan to grant 1 million units of cash-settled stock appreciation right to qualified employees of the Company’s subsidiaries without consideration. One unit of stock appreciation right to employees represents a right to the intrinsic value of one common share of UMC. The life of the plan is four years. Beginning from the end of two years since the date of grant, those employees who fulfill both service period and performance conditions set by the Company’s subsidiaries are gradually eligible to the vested stock appreciation right at certain percentage and time frame. For those employees who fail to fulfill the vesting conditions, the Company’s subsidiaries will withdraw their rights without consideration. During the vesting period, the holders of the stock appreciation right are not entitled the same rights as those of common stock holders of UMC. The compensation plan, which was implemented in June 2021, expired in June 2025.

 

For the three-month periods ended March 31 2025, the compensation costs of NT$0.4 million was recognized in expenses by the Company’s subsidiaries. The liabilities for stock appreciation right recognized which were classified under other payables amounted to NT$9 million as of March 31, 2025. The intrinsic value for the liabilities of vested rights was nil.

UMC shall allocate no less than 5% of profit as employees’ compensation and no more than 0.2% of profit as directors’ compensation for each profitable fiscal year after offsetting any cumulative losses; no less than 30% of the aforementioned profit as employees’ compensation should be allocated to entry-level employees. The aforementioned employees’ compensation will be distributed in shares or cash. The employees of UMC’s subsidiaries who fulfill specific requirements stipulated by the Board of Directors may be granted such compensation. Directors may only receive compensation in cash. UMC may, by a resolution adopted by a majority vote at a meeting of the Board of Directors attended by two-thirds of the total number of directors, distribute the aforementioned employees and directors’ compensation and report to the shareholders’ meeting for such distribution.

The Board of Directors estimates the amount by taking into consideration the Articles of Incorporation, government regulations and industry averages. If the Board of Directors resolves to distribute employee compensation through stock, the number of stock distributed is calculated based on total employee compensation divided by the closing price of the day before the Board of Directors’ meeting. If the Board of Directors subsequently modifies the estimates significantly, the Company will recognize the change as an adjustment in the profit or loss in the subsequent period.

e.
The Ministry of Finance of the Republic of China announced that the renewed “Agreement between the Taipei Representative Office in Singapore and the Singapore Trade Office in Taipei for the Elimination of Double Taxation with Respect to Taxes on Income and the Prevention of Tax Evasion and Avoidance” (the “Renewed Agreement”) entered into force on February 13, 2026 and will become effective on January 1, 2027. Pursuant to the transitional provisions of the Renewed Agreement, the tax-sparing clause provided as a preferential mechanism under the original agreement will cease to apply after three taxable years from the effective date of the Renewed Agreement. Consequently, the phase-out of such preferential tax treatments is expected to increase the Company’s effective income tax rate in future periods. Upon the substantive enactment of the Renewed Agreement in the current period, the Company recognized an increase in deferred tax assets of NT$1,947 million, reflecting higher tax credits expected to be available in future periods as compared to those prior to the enactment of the Renewed Agreement.

Financial risk management objectives and policies

 

The Company’s risk management objectives are to manage the market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk related to its operating activities. The Company identifies, measures and manages the aforementioned risks based on policy and risk preference.

54


 

The Company has established appropriate policies, procedures and internal controls for financial risk management. Before entering into significant financial activities, approval process by the Board of Directors and Audit Committee must be carried out based on related protocols and internal control procedures. The Company complies with its financial risk management policies at all times.

 

(3)
Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risks comprise currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk (such as equity price risk).

 

Foreign currency risk

 

The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a different currency from the Company’s functional currency) and the Company’s net investments in foreign subsidiaries.

 

The Company applies natural hedges on the foreign currency risk arising from purchases or sales, and utilizes spot or forward exchange contracts to manage foreign currency risk and the net effect of the risks related to monetary financial assets and liabilities is minor. The notional amounts of the foreign currency contracts are the same as the amount of the hedged items. In principle, the Company does not carry out any forward exchange contracts for uncertain commitments. Furthermore, as net investments in foreign subsidiaries are for strategic purposes, they are not hedged by the Company.

 

The foreign currency sensitivity analysis of the possible change in foreign exchange rates on the Company’s profit is performed on significant monetary items denominated in foreign currencies as of the end of the reporting period. When NTD strengthens/weakens against USD by 10%, the profit for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 decreases/increases by NT$1,123 million and NT$1,099 million, respectively. When RMB strengthens/weakens against USD by 10%, the profit for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 decreases/increases by NT$227 million and NT$909 million, respectively. When JPY strengthens/weakens against USD by 10%, the profit for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 decreases/increases by NT$181 million and NT$177 million, respectively.

 

Interest rate risk

 

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising from borrowing at floating interest rates. All of the Company’s bonds have fixed interest rates and are measured at amortized cost. As such, changes in interest rates would not affect the future cash flows. On the other hand, as the interest rates of the Company’s short-term and long-term bank loans are floating, changes in interest rates would affect the future cash flows but not the fair value. Please refer to Note 6(11), (13) and (14) for the range of interest rates of the Company’s bonds and bank loans.

55


 

At the reporting dates, a change of 10 basis points of interest rate in a reporting period could cause the profit for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 to decrease/increase by NT$5 million and NT$8 million, respectively.

 

Equity price risk

 

The Company’s listed and unlisted equity securities, investments in convertible bonds and exchange right of the exchangeable bonds issued are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future performance of equity markets. The Company’s equity investments are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, the investments in convertible bonds which contain the right of conversion to equity instruments are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, and the exchange right of the exchangeable bonds issued is classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss as it does not satisfy the definition of an equity component. Please refer to Note 6(2), (3) and (12) for the relevant information.

 

The sensitivity analysis for the equity instruments is based on the change in fair value as of the reporting date. A change of 5% in the price of the aforementioned financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of listed companies could increase/decrease the Company’s profit for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 by NT$317 million and NT$241 million, respectively. A change of 5% in the price of the aforementioned financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income of listed companies could increase/decrease the Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 by NT$577 million and NT$718 million, respectively.

 

Please refer to Note 12(7) for sensitivity analysis information of other equity instruments or derivatives that are linked to such equity instruments whose fair value measurement is categorized under Level 3.

 

(4)
Credit risk management

 

The Company only trades with approved and creditworthy third parties. Where the Company trades with third parties which have less credit, it will request collateral from them. It is the Company’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, notes and accounts receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis to decrease the Company’s exposure to credit risk.

56


 

The Company mitigates the credit risks from financial institutions by limiting its counter parties to only reputable domestic or international financial institutions with good credit standing and spreading its holdings among various financial institutions. The Company’s exposure to credit risk arising from the default of counter-parties is limited to the carrying amount of these instruments.

 

As of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, accounts receivable from the top ten customers represent 62%, 61% and 65% of the total accounts receivable of the Company, respectively. The credit concentration risk of other accounts receivable is insignificant.

 

(5)
Liquidity risk management

 

The Company’s objectives are to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of cash and cash equivalents, bank loans, bonds and lease.

Fair value of financial instruments

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

 

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company.

 

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

59


 

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

 

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

 

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

 

Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,

Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable,

Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

 

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

Fair values of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income that are categorized into Level 1 are based on the quoted market prices in active markets. If there is no active market, the Company estimates the fair value by using the valuation techniques (income approach and market approach) in consideration of cash flow forecast, recent fund raising activities, valuation of similar companies, individual company’s development, market conditions and other economic indicators.

61


 

If there are restrictions on the sale or transfer of a financial asset, which are a characteristic of the asset, the fair value of the asset will be determined based on similar but unrestricted financial assets’ quoted market price with appropriate discounts for the restrictions. To measure fair values, if the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable, then the financial assets are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise as Level 3.

 

During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements.

Assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value but for which fair value is disclosed:

 

The fair value of bonds payable is estimated by the market price or using a valuation model. The model uses market-based observable inputs including share price, exchange price, volatility, risk-free interest rates and risk discount rates. The fair value of long-term loans is determined using discounted cash flow model, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates of similar loans.

 

The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, receivables, refundable deposits, other financial assets, short-term loans, payables and guarantee deposits approximate their carrying amount.

The foreign currency transactions mentioned above are expressed in terms of the amount before elimination.

 

Please refer to the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the total of realized and unrealized foreign exchange gain and loss. Since there were varieties of foreign currency transactions and functional currencies within the subsidiaries of the Company, the Company was unable to disclose foreign exchange gain (loss) towards each foreign currency with significant impact.

 

(9)
Significant intercompany transactions among consolidated entities are disclosed in Attachment 1.

 

(10)
Capital management

 

The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios to support its business and maximize the shareholders’ value. The Company also ensures its ability to operate continuously to provide returns to shareholders and the interests of other related parties, while maintaining the optimal capital structure to reduce costs of capital.

 

To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or dispose assets to redeem liabilities.

 

Similar to its peers, the Company monitors its capital based on debt to capital ratio. The ratio is calculated as the Company’s net debt divided by its total capital. The net debt is derived by taking the total liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets minus cash and cash equivalents. The total capital consists of total equity (including capital, additional paid-in capital, retained earnings, other components of equity and non-controlling interests) plus net debt.

 

The Company’s strategy, which is unchanged for the reporting periods, is to maintain a reasonable ratio in order to raise capital with reasonable cost. The debt to capital ratios as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025 were as follows:
