New Risk • Nov 13
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 5.4% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 153% Dividend per share is over 5x cash flows per share. Earnings have declined by 5.4% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (6.3% net profit margin). Reported Earnings • Aug 15

Revenue: NT$741.2m (down 1.8% from 2Q 2024). Net loss: NT$95.0m (down 174% from profit in 2Q 2024). Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has fallen by 27% per year but the company’s share price has only fallen by 9% per year, which means it has not declined as severely as earnings. New Risk • Aug 15
New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 153% Dividend per share is over 8x cash flows per share. Dividend yield: 6.6% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings or cash flows stagnate or fall, then there may not be enough to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 153% Dividend per share is over 8x cash flows per share. Minor Risk Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (6.3% net profit margin). Upcoming Dividend • Jul 28
Upcoming dividend of NT$2.20 per share Eligible shareholders must have bought the stock before 04 August 2025. Payment date: 29 August 2025. Payout ratio is a comfortable 72% but the company is paying out more than the cash it is generating. Trailing yield: 5.7%. Within top quartile of Taiwanese dividend payers (5.3%). Higher than average of industry peers (4.6%). Declared Dividend • Jun 25
Dividend increased to NT$2.20 Dividend of NT$2.20 is 10% higher than last year. Ex-date: 4th August 2025 Payment date: 29th August 2025 Dividend yield will be 6.0%, which is higher than the industry average of 4.1%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is covered by earnings (72% earnings payout ratio) but not covered by cash flows (180% cash payout ratio). The dividend has remained flat since 10 years ago. However, payments have been volatile during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to decline by 20% to shift the payout ratio to a potentially unsustainable range, which is more than the 1.7% EPS decline seen over the last 5 years.

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 21% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 11% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Large one-off items impacting financial results. Reported Earnings • May 09
