New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Currently running at an operating cash loss. This is considered a major risk. If the company's operating cash flows are too small relative to the size of their debt, it increases their balance sheet risk. The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Declared Dividend • Nov 08

Telechips Unveils Automotive Ai Accelerator 'A2x' Featuring 200Tops Npu for Powerful Ai Processing Performance, Ready for Global Market Launch Telechips has unveiled its game-changing automotive AI accelerator, A2X (TCA2000/TCA1000), setting a new benchmark for the future of mobility (SDV). With its cutting-edge technology, A2X is ready to accelerate the adoption of AI-driven automotive systems, streamlining development processes and reducing costs for manufacturers. The A2X is a highly integrated solution, combining sensor interfaces, data preprocessing, and AI acceleration into a single chipset. It delivers peak AI processing power while simplifying development timelines and lowering system costs. Notably, it is equipped with the largest-ever NPU (Neural Processing Unit) in a domestic automotive AI accelerator, ensuring exceptional AI controller performance and maximizing system efficiency. Traditional autonomous driving and ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) rely on a single SoC (System-on-Chip) to handle all processes, from sensor data input to image pre-processing, AI computation, vehicle prediction, and control. This approach often leads to inefficiencies in data flow, increased computational load, and over-dependence on high-performance SoCs, resulting in higher power consumption, escalating costs, and increased system complexity, ultimately burdening automotive manufacturers with lengthy development timelines. The A2X overcomes these challenges with its 200/100TOPS NPU and 100K/50K DMIPS CPU, providing unmatched AI computation performance. It features key preprocessing blocks like De-warp, Multi-scaler, and Point Cloud Accelerator, reducing the load on the main SoC and enabling real-time AI processing at peak efficiency. The A2X also offers seamless integration with ADAS and IVI processors, boosting system scalability and reinforcing the competitive edge of SDVs. It will soon support on-device AI features, including LLM/sLLM. Ankündigung • Feb 17
Telechips Launches Korea's First High-Performance Mobility Network Processor 'AXON ' Telechips has introduced AXON (TCN100x), a high-performance network processor designed for mobility applications. AXON is a network System on Chip (SoC) that supports the highest safety level ASIL-D in ISO26262, ensuring top-tier safety and performance. It aids global automakers and top-tier companies in transitioning to next-generation E/E architectures and realizing Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs). This solution supports high-performance processing, expanded network bandwidth, and ultra-low latency with real-time security features. It integrates multi-channel Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) Ethernet, CAN, and LIN-dedicated hardware network switches, ensuring robust network performance. The product applies the latest high-performance Cortex-A65AE multicore and multi-domain MCU cores from UK-based ARM, enabling stable in-vehicle network management and ultra-low latency data processing. It supports Over-the-Air (OTA) updates, diagnostics, network management, and application integration, offering an architecture optimized for SDV environments. Compared to competitors, AXON provides 2x higher application processing performance, 1.5x more Ethernet channels, and over 2.5x increased bandwidth. This breakthrough overcomes the limitations of traditional domain architectures and accelerates the transition to zonal architectures. Additionally, it features an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) with a dedicated Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) engine and integrates MACsec and IPsec security protocols, strengthening cybersecurity measures. Notably, AXON adopts an SoC architecture that minimizes the need for external integrated circuits (ICs), reducing system costs and development time. By leveraging this product, manufacturers can achieve more efficient network designs and optimized system BOM (Bill of Materials) configurations, maximizing cost savings. Upcoming Dividend • Dec 20
