Declared Dividend • Jun 08
Dividend of NT$4.50 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of NT$4.50. Ex-date: 26th June 2026 Payment date: 24th July 2026 Dividend yield will be 6.8%, which is higher than the industry average of 5.7%.

New Risk • Aug 07
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 0.8% 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 Earnings have declined by 0.8% per year over the past 5 years. High level of non-cash earnings (42% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (2.6% net profit margin). Market cap is less than US$100m (NT$2.45b market cap, or US$82.2m). Declared Dividend • Jun 04

Ex-date: 20th June 2025 Payment date: 18th July 2025 Dividend yield will be 5.8%, which is about the same as the industry average. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is covered by earnings (69% earnings payout ratio) but the company has no free cash flows available, indicating it may be using cash reserves or debt to pay the dividend. The dividend has increased by an average of 12% per year over the past 10 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. Earnings per share has grown by 5.0% over the last 5 years. Unless this trend reverses, it should provide support to the dividend and adequate earnings cover. Reported Earnings • May 08

New Risk • Nov 06
New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 17% 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 Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (17% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (NT$2.33b market cap, or US$72.4m). Reported Earnings • Aug 13
