INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORTThe Board of Directors and Shareholders Walsin Lihwa Corporation
IntroductionWe have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Walsin Lihwa Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group") as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China". Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.
Scope of ReviewWe conducted our reviews in accordance with the Standards on Review Engagements of the Republic of China 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
ConclusionBased on our reviews and the review reports of other auditors (refer to the Other Matter section), nothing has come to our attention that caused us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Emphasis of MatterAs disclosed in Note 20, the Group acquired 65%, 100% and 100% interest in Com.Steel Inox S.p.A., Degerfors Long Products AB and Special Melted Products Ltd. on May 3, 2024, August 1, 2023 and September 19, 2023, respectively. The purchase price allocation report was finalized in 2025, 2024 and 2024, respectively. Therefore, the initial accounting treatment and provisionally determined amounts from the acquisition date were adjusted and retrospectively restated for comparative periods. Our review result is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other MatterWe did not review the financial statements of some subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group, but such financial statements were reviewed by other auditors. Our conclusion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in these consolidated financial statements for such subsidiaries, is based solely on the review reports of other auditors. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the combined total assets of these subsidiaries were NT$44,879,731 thousand and NT$39,489,227 thousand, respectively, representing 15.92% and 14.84%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets; for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the amounts of combined net operating revenue of these subsidiaries were NT$7,613,909 thousand and NT$8,347,927 thousand, respectively, representing 16.98% and 20.59%, respectively, of the consolidated net operating revenue.
The engagement partners on the reviews resulting in this independent auditors' review report are Wen-Yea Shyu and Ker-Chang Wu.

APPLICATION OF NEW, AMENDED AND REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS
Initial application of the amendments to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) (collectively, the "IFRS Accounting Standards") endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC)
Amendments to IAS 21 "Lack of Exchangeability"
The initial application of the Amendments to IAS 21 "Lack of Exchangeability" did not have a material impact on the Group's accounting policies.
The IFRS Accounting Standards endorsed by the FSC for application starting from 2026
New, Amended and Revised Standards and Interpretations
Effective DateAnnounced by IASB
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 "Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments" - the amendments to the application guidance of classification of financial assets
January 1, 2026 (Note)
Note: An entity shall apply those amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. It is permitted to apply these amendments for an earlier period beginning on January 1, 2025.
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 "Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial
Instruments" - the amendments to the application guidance of classification of financial assets
The amendments mainly amend the requirements for the classification of financial assets, including:
If a financial asset contains a contingent feature that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows and the contingent event itself does not relate directly to changes in basic lending risks and costs (e.g., whether the debtor achieves a contractually specified reduction in carbon emissions), the financial asset has contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding if, and only if,
In all possible scenarios (before and after the occurrence of a contingent event), the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding; and
In all possible scenarios, the contractual cash flows would not be significantly different from the contractual cash flows on a financial instrument with identical contractual terms, but without such a contingent feature.
To clarify that a financial asset has non-recourse features if an entity's ultimate right to receive cash flows is contractually limited to the cash flows generated by specified assets.
To clarify that the characteristics of contractually linked instruments include a prioritization of payments to the holders of financial assets using multiple contractually linked instruments (tranches) established through a waterfall payment structure, resulting in concentrations of credit risk and a disproportionate allocation of cash shortfalls from the underlying pool between the tranches.
An entity shall apply the amendments retrospectively but is not required to restate prior periods. The effect of initially applying the amendments shall be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance at the date of initial application. An entity may restate prior periods if, and only if, it is possible to do so without the use of hindsight.
As of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the possible impact of the application of the amendments on the Group's financial position and financial performance.

(Concluded)
Note: Unless stated otherwise, the above IFRS Accounting Standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.
Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 "Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture"
The amendments stipulate that, when the Group sells or contributes assets that constitute a business (as defined in IFRS 3) to an associate or joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized in full. Also, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary that contains a business but retains significant influence or joint control, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized in full.
Conversely, when the Group sells or contributes assets that do not constitute a business to an associate or joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the extent of the Group's interest as an unrelated investor in the associate or joint venture, i.e., the Group's share of the gain or loss is eliminated. Also, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary that does not contain a business but retains significant influence or joint control over an associate, or a joint venture, the gain or loss resulting from the transaction is recognized only to the extent of the Group's interest as an unrelated investor in the associate or joint venture, i.e., the Group's share of the gain or loss is eliminated.
IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements"
IFRS 18 will supersede IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements". The main changes comprise:
Items of income and expenses included in the statement of profit or loss shall be classified into the operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations categories.
The statement of profit or loss shall present totals and subtotals for operating profit or loss, profit or loss before financing and income taxes and profit or loss.
Provides guidance to enhance the requirements of aggregation and disaggregation: The Group shall identify the assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows that arise from individual transactions or other events and shall classify and aggregate them into groups based on shared characteristics, so as to result in the presentation in the primary financial statements of line items that have at least one similar characteristic. The Group shall disaggregate items with dissimilar characteristics in the primary financial statements and in the notes. The Group labels items as "other" only if it cannot find a more informative label.
Disclosures on Management-defined Performance Measures (MPMs): When in public communications outside financial statements and communicating to users of financial statements management's view of an aspect of the financial performance of the Group as a whole, the Group shall disclose related information about its MPMs in a single note to the financial statements, including the description of such measures, calculations, reconciliations to the subtotal or total specified by IFRS Accounting Standards and the income tax and non-controlling interests effects of related reconciliation items.
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 "Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments" - the amendments to the application guidance of derecognition of financial liabilities
The amendments mainly stipulate that, when settling a financial liability in cash using an electronic payment system, the Group can choose to derecognize the financial liability before the settlement date if, and only if, the Group has initiated a payment instruction that resulted in:
The Group having no practical ability to withdraw, stop or cancel the payment instruction;
The Group having no practical ability to access the cash to be used for settlement as a result of the payment instruction; and
The settlement risk associated with the electronic payment system being insignificant.
The Group shall apply the amendments retrospectively but is not required to restate prior periods. The effect of initially applying the amendments shall be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance at the date of initial application.
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 "Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity"
Contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity are contracts that expose an entity to variability in the underlying amount of electricity because the source of electricity generation depends on uncontrollable natural conditions. Contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity include both contracts to buy or sell nature-dependent electricity and financial instruments that reference such electricity. When the Group enters into contracts to buy nature-dependent electricity, which exposes the Group to the risk that it would be required to buy electricity during a delivery interval in which the Group cannot use the electricity, and the design and operation of the electricity market require any amounts of unused electricity to be sold within a specified time, the amendments stipulate that such sales are not necessarily inconsistent with the contract being held in accordance with the Group's expected usage requirements. The inconsistency will result in the contract being accounted for as financial instruments otherwise. The Group entered into and continues to hold such a contract in accordance with its expected electricity usage requirements, if the Group has bought, and expects to buy, sufficient electricity to offset the sales of any unused electricity in the same market in which it sold the electricity over a reasonable amount of time.
The amendments also stipulate that, if contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity are designated as hedging instruments in hedges of forecast transactions, for such a hedging relationship the Group is permitted to designate as the hedged item a variable nominal amount of forecast electricity transactions that is aligned with the variable amount of nature-dependent electricity expected to be delivered by the generation facility as referenced in the hedging instrument.
For the amendments related to whether contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity are entered into in accordance with expected electricity usage requirements, the Group shall apply retrospectively but is not required to restate prior periods. The effect of initially applying the amendments shall be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance at the date of initial application. For the amendments related to hedge accounting, the Group shall apply prospectively.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the other impacts of the above amended standards and interpretations on the Group's financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
Statement of compliance
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC. Disclosure information included in these interim consolidated financial statements is less than the disclosure information required in a complete set of annual consolidated financial statements.
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments, which are measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.
The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
Basis of consolidation
See Note 15, Table 6 and Table 7 for detailed information on subsidiaries (including percentages of ownership and main businesses).
Other material accounting policies
Except for the following, please refer to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Carbon fee provision
In accordance with the Regulations Governing the Collection of Carbon Fees and related regulations of the ROC, the carbon fee provision is recognized and measured on the basis of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation for the current year and the proportion of actual emissions to the total annual emissions.
Retirement benefits
Pension cost for an interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the actuarially determined pension cost rate at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant plan amendments, settlements, or other significant one-off events.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Interim period income taxes are assessed on an annual basis and calculated by applying to an interim period's pre-tax income the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.
- MATERIAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
Except for the following changes in depreciation and amortization methods, please refer to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 for the material accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty of these consolidated financial statements.
Depreciation method of property, plant and equipment and amortization method of intangible assets
The depreciation and amortization methods for machinery and equipment, and intangible assets within the Resource segment entities were changed from the accelerated depreciation method to the straight-line method, starting from January 1, 2025, with the effect of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.
Considering the current utilization status, anticipated future economic benefits, and consumption patterns of machinery and equipment, and intangible assets, the Group has assessed that adopting the straight-line basis will more faithfully and reasonably reflect the assets' economic benefits. The change in accounting estimates decreased depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 by NT$296,126 thousand and NT$49,850 thousand, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Group's strategies for commodity futures contracts, foreign exchange forward contracts and exchange rate swap contracts were to hedge exposures to fluctuations in the prices of raw material and foreign exchange rates. However, those derivative financial instruments did not meet the criteria of hedge effectiveness; therefore, they were not accounted for hedge accounting.
Financial assets - contingent consideration is the amount of consideration to be received by the Group from the acquirer in the disposal of the subsidiary (the "Target Company") on July 27, 2022. In accordance with the agreement of contingent consideration, the acquirer shall respectively pay additional payments when the gross profit of Target Company during the period starting from the settlement date to December 31, 2023 and the gross profit in the year 2024 meet the amount agreed upon by Target Company. The Group received $1,273,115 thousand in 2024.
Financial liabilities - contingent consideration according to the agreement of acquisition, the Group is required to make additional payments to the seller if Cogne Acciai Speciali S.p.A. and Com. Steel Inox S.P.A.'s earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization from the settlement date to 2025 and 2026 meet the contract requirements, respectively.

The Group entered into foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign currency deposits to hedge against the exchange rate fluctuations associated with designated foreign currency receivables and payables. The conditions of the foreign exchange forward contracts are the same as those of the corresponding financial assets, so the management believes that the foreign exchange forward contracts are highly effective hedging instruments. For information regarding the financial instruments used for hedging, refer to Note 35.
The Group converts some of the issued floating rate financial liabilities from floating rate to fixed rate through the interest rate swap contracts in order to reduce the risk of the cash flow of the issued floating rate financial liabilities due to changes in interest rates. The conditions of the interest rate swap contracts are the same as the one of the related financial liabilities, therefore, the management of the Group considers they can be highly effective hedging instruments. For information regarding the financial instruments used for hedging, refer to Note 35.
The Group is exposed to the risk that the future cash flows of the assets and liabilities may fluctuate due to changes in market prices of gas, electricity and nickel that are required for the Group's operations. The Group assesses that the risk may be significant and therefore enters into gas, electricity and nickel swap contracts for hedging purposes. The breakdown of the cash flow hedge items and derivative financial instruments designated for hedging at the end of the reporting period were as follows:

Trade receivable
The average credit period on the sales of goods is 30 to 65 days. In determining the collectability of a trade receivable, the Group considered any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable since the date credit was initially granted to the end of the reporting period. When the Group dealt with new entities, the Group reviewed the credit ratings of the entities and obtained sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group uses other publicly available financial information or its own trading records to rate its major customers. The Group's exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored, and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the risk management committee annually. In this regard, the management believes the Group's credit risk is significantly reduced.
The Group permits the use of a lifetime expected credit losses allowance for all trade receivables. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to the past default experience with the respective debtors and an analysis of the debtors' current financial positions. As the Group's historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the loss allowance based on the past due status of receivables is not further distinguished according to different segments of the Group's customer base.
The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is experiencing severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery of the receivable. For trade receivables that have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables which are due. Where recoveries are made, they are recognized in profit or loss.
The following table details the loss allowance of trade receivables based on the Group's provision matrix.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the unrealized valuation (losses) gains resulting from these investments in equity instruments were NT$(939,922) thousand and NT$1,993,594 thousand, respectively, which were recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).
