Financial Performance

Revenue remained broadly in line with last year at NT$2.9 billion in 2025, compared to $3.08 billion in 2024, reflecting resilient core performance amid a year of portfolio optimization. Despite a challenging environment, the company maintained a gross margin of 35.9% and recorded an operating loss of NT$3.45 billion (with operating margin of -119.0%). Over the year, we completed the transfer of some of the VR team to Google and disposed of certain Taoyuan factory buildings as part of our strategic realignment. These actions have streamlined our operations and strengthened our balance sheet. As a result of improved cost structure, disciplined execution, and focused investment, the Company achieved a net profit of NT$6.03 billion, resulting in an EPS of NT$7.21.

At the same time, we continue to prioritize resource eciency and operational excellence across the organization. By optimizing processes, enhancing asset utilization, and embedding greater financial discipline into day-to-day decision-making over the last few years, we have been building a leaner and more agile operating model. Our teams remain focused on improving productivity, reducing waste, and aligning investments with long-term strategic priorities. This disciplined approach ensures that we are not only strengthening near-term financial performance, while also creating a more resilient foundation for sustainable growth in the years ahead.


Environment, Social and Governance (ESG)

In the first half of 2025, HTC strengthened its sustainability leadership through major global recognitions and continued progress in climate strategy, value chain responsibility, and ESG transparency. The company maintained top CDP Supplier Engagement Assessment ratings, earned repeated EcoVadis distinctions, and was included in leading ESG indices, including the FTSE4Good TIP Taiwan ESG Index. HTC also advanced its climate disclosures aligned with TCFD and leveraged Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability to complete verified greenhouse gas inventories and product carbon footprints, reinforcing its data-driven, accountable approach to environmental management.

HTC further deepened its ESG commitment through multiple prestigious awards, including four Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Awards, a TRIPs 1.5°C “EXCELLENT” rating by CommonWealth magazine, ISS STOXX Prime status, and three ESG for Culture Impact Awards recognizing its immersive cultural initiatives. The launch of an Internal Carbon Pricing mechanism marked another milestone, embedding climate accountability into strategic and financial decision-making. Together, these achievements demonstrate HTC’s integrated approach to sustainability — combining governance, innovation, cultural impact, and measurable climate action to advance its long-term net-zero target.

In 2025, we strengthened our foundation, advanced our innovation roadmap, and moved decisively toward sustainable profitability. The energy and strategic thinking behind our innovation ensures that we will be well positioned to seize the opportunities ahead.
