New Risk • May 02
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 4.6% 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 4.6% 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. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (9.2% average weekly change). New Risk • Apr 22
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 8.9% a week.

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: Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past.

Airoha Technology Corp. Kicks off Ultra-Fast Symmetric 8 Gbps Deployments and Sets a New Benchmark for Global Fixed Broadband Transformation with Breakthroughs in XGS-PON Technology Airoha Technology Corp. announced that it had landed the U.S. market with deployments of the world's fastest XGS-PON broadband networks that ensure symmetric 8 Gbps upload and download speeds with 3ms low latency. Deployed to a number of project areas in collaboration with a U.S. telecom company, the AIROHA IC chips for fiber optical broadband Customer Premise Equipment strictly observe standards set by the Federal Communications Commission with a symmetric speed of 8 gigabits per second verified by Speedtest which is the fastest so far in the real world optical fiber networks, and have set a new benchmark for the introduction of 10G-PON technology amid the world's recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and thriving developments of digital content market. A subsidiary of the IC giant MediaTeK, AIROHA has more than 20 years of engineering experience in fixed network with an inclusive product portfolio for fixed broadband aimed to provide interoperability and reliability in a highly heterogeneous and stability-demanding environment. The case has demonstrated AIROHA's ability in assisting telecom carriers and network operators to deploy high-performance services to the premises of their customers with faster-than-expected pace and reduced operating and maintenance costs. The Federal Infrastructure Investment and Job Act of 2021 requires the federal government of the U.S. to spend $65 billion on broadband access, which has become the industry's biggest focus. To help establish the credibility of the entire industrial ecosystem, the FCC has set rigid regulations for ensuring that the quality of network services will live up to their providers' promises. In August 2022, AIROHA helped a U.S. telecom operator commercialize the world's first XGS-PON services that achieve a real-world speed of symmetrical 8 Gbps in compliance with FCC regulations. For telecom operators, fiber broadband is not just about providing network speed with stability and reliability, but more essentially, is also about the ability to keep compliance with FCC and earn trust from the broad market. The most critical and difficult part about the U.S. 8 Gbps XGS-PON deployments is to achieve low latency under 3ms as tested against Speedtest® standards. AIROHA solves this challenge through impeccable software and hardware integration as well as firmware optimization. Market demands rising from Work from Home (WFH) trend during the COVID-19 pandemic and the rapid developments of content technologies are driving fixed-line broadband operators to migrate to fiber optical cable at an accelerated pace. Innovative applications including 4K and 8K video streaming, AR, VR and Metaverse need high speed data transfer of high-quality video and audio content. Network service providers therefore have been looking into more advanced PON technology of 10G-PON. And, moreover, proposed 25G/50G-PON specifications are looming in the upcoming future. Based upon 20 years of accumulative experience in deploying broadband services for 150+ operator customers, Aroha Technology had been able to help the U.S. telecom carrier to realize the world's first symmetric 8 Gbps broadband services in just two years with a two-phase project. During the past two years, AIROHA has rolled out all its expertise in delivering SoC, software and services to gain the trust of the customer. AIROHA has a full range of market-leading fiber migration solutions, from xDSL, xPON to 10G-PON. AIROHA is able to provide the compatibility and interoperability needed for broadband services with supports for various exiting devices from different vendors. AIROHA fully understands the pain points telecom operators and network operators would face in PON transformation. Announcement • Jul 26
Airoha Sets 10-Year Milestone with Bluetooth® Le Audio Certification Airoha Technology announced that its new series of Bluetooth audio chips have successfully completed the latest Bluetooth® Low Energy Audio Qualification Process. This is one of the most important R&D achievements of its Bluetooth audio R&D team consisted of hundreds of engineers, who continues to revolutionize the wireless audio end device market. The "flagship" and "professional" series of chipsets support LE audio and Bluetooth 5.3 for multiple applications such as True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds, Bluetooth smart speakers, assistive listening devices, and Bluetooth transmitters. The products are currently being tested by many brand customers and are expected to be available worldwide in the first half of 2023. Auracast broadcast audio sharing, the most important technology in the Bluetooth LE Audio qualification, is the industry standard for one-to-many unidirectional audio playback, which will dramatically change the audio service model of existing dedicated earbuds. As Auracast improves the convenience and experience of users and reduces the cost of service providers, it will inspire more innovative application services and scenarios. For example, museum tours no longer need to provide dedicated headset rentals, and visitors can receive audio services inside by wearing portable earbuds of their own. Other venues such as gatherings, ball games, concerts, and even corporate events can also use this feature to provide customized and innovative services that will dramatically change the consumer experience and corporate service model. In addition to supporting broadcast audio, Bluetooth LE Audio also offers two major advantages: improved sound quality and low latency. In the past, true wireless stereo (TWS) Bluetooth earbuds were limited by size, weight and battery capacity, which made it difficult to find a balance between hardware requirements and sound quality. According to the Bluetooth SIG, the LC3 codec introduced by LE Audio can transmit audio at half the bitrate of traditional SBC without compromising sound quality. In addition, LE Audio reduces the latency issue by 70%. Therefore, in the foreseeable future, LC3 will become a standard for high-quality and power-saving Bluetooth audio codec. By launching two series of chips, Airoha Technology not only brings new experiences and changes to the global wireless audio market, but they also introduced the high performing and low-power consuming Software Development Kit (SDK). Integrating the full range of features required by different Bluetooth applications, the SDK further simplifies the R&D design of Bluetooth connectivity and allows its customers to accelerate the time-to-market of their end devices and create a new, seamless user experience. Series: The performance leader AB1585 supports the latest LE Audio and Bluetooth 5.3, with built-in HiFi 5 DSP for high computing power, suitable for running AI algorithms and provides customizable and flexible applications for headphones, TWS, speakers and assistive listening devices, etc., while simultaneously allowing for personalized wireless audio experience beyond imagination. Professional Series: The low-power consumption and highly-integrated AB1565/AB1568 supports the latest LE Audio and Bluetooth 5.3 system which is suitable for headphones, TWS, speakers and Bluetooth transmitters. It also enables quick mass introduction of market applications for the enterprise and a professional user experience. Board Change • Jun 24
