New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Taiwanese stocks, typically moving 8.1% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 32% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.1% average weekly change). Reported Earnings • Mar 12

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 17% 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 Risk Earnings have declined by 17% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Paying a dividend despite being loss-making.

Dividend of NT$1.50 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of NT$1.50. Ex-date: 3rd July 2025 Payment date: 25th July 2025 Dividend yield will be 5.6%, which is higher than the industry average of 2.3%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not adequately covered by earnings (99% earnings payout ratio). However, it is well covered by cash flows (35% cash payout ratio). The dividend has decreased over the past 10 years, indicating a lack of growth and stability in payments. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 9.5% to bring the payout ratio under control. However, EPS has declined by 9.1% over the last 5 years so the company would need to reverse this trend. Aankondiging • May 16
Gemtek Technology Co., Ltd. to Showcase 800G Optical Module, Software Cloud, and AI Router at COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2025 Gemtek Technology Co., Ltd. is set to showcase a powerful lineup of next-generation technologies at COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2025, taking place from May 20 to 23 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center. Gemtek will unveil its latest ultra-fast 800G Optical Module and Software Cloud platform. Gemtek will also demonstrate the advanced capabilities of its MoAI AI Router, integrated with IntoWell Biomedical's Dr.AI platform. Together, these breakthroughs highlight Gemtek's commitment to advancing digital transformation across the fields of telecommunications, cloud services, and AI. Driven by the explosive growth of big data, cloud applications, and AI, the demand for high-bandwidth, high-speed, and low-latency transmission continues to surge exponentially, making 800G Optical Modules stand out as a crucial technology for AI Cloud Data Centers. Building on its strong foundation in telecommunications, Gemtek has invested extensively in the research and development of its 800G Optical Module, which will make its debut at this year's exhibition. As part of its broader digital transformation strategy, Gemtek has teamed up with GENIX NetworkS to launch its exclusive Software Cloud. The Software Cloud is a cloud-based platform that combines network security, traffic management, and behavioral control into a single solution. Designed to meet the growing demand for online privacy and cybersecurity, the platform offers comprehensive security features like firewalls, antivirus, anti-intrusion, and web threat defense, all powered by deep packet inspection for reliable and secure performance. Additional features such as the QoS technology optimizes key applications like video streaming and virtual meetings, while parental controls block inappropriate content. Another key collaborative achievement for Gemtek is its partnership with IntoWell Biomedical on the Dr.AI smart healthcare platform. In conjunction with Gemtek's MoAI AI Router, the two companies jointly developed the Medical Pre-Assessment system (MedPA) and the MoAI Avatar. Patients can interact with the MoAI AI Router to describe symptoms, which are then automatically transcribed via speech-to-text (STT) into a structured SOAP note. The solution helps reduce documentation workloads for healthcare providers, streamlines clinical workflows, and accelerates digital transformation in hospitals. This remarkable innovation was recently honored with the COMPUTEX 2025 Best Choice Award in the Digital Healthcare category. Reported Earnings • May 04

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.8% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings (97% payout ratio). Large one-off items impacting financial results. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (2.8% increase in shares outstanding). New Risk • Apr 04

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.
