Business Report for 2016
Year 2016 Financial Performance
Even though dynamic random access memory (DRAM) market suffered a 2-year period of price declines since the 2nd half of 2014, Nanya Technology Corp. (NTC) has maintained steady operation results as a result of its successful business transformation. DRAM average selling prices stayed lowed in the first of half of 2016 and have rebounded since in the 2nd half 2016, the Company, by optimizing its product portfolio and expanding market shares in specialty segments with price premiums,

Company’s shareholdings in Inotera further boosted the Company’s bottom line. NTC reported consolidated revenues of NT$41.63 billion in 2016. Net incomes were NT$23.71 billion, which translated into an EPS of NT$8.67.
In 2016, the Company further enhanced its production efficiency to reduce manufacturing costs, thereby improving its competitiveness. Annual bit output grew by 5.3% compared with that in 2015. Output based on 30nm design shrink grew to account for about 80% of total output in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, the Company completed the construction of a new clean room and started to move in new equipment to commence on 20nm technology conversion.
To fulfill various needs entailed by specialty DRAM market, the Company established strategic alliances with customers and controller suppliers with forward-looking market planning and excellent customer services to facilitate the launch of

next-generation consumer electronic products collaboratively. The Company also strengthened its capabilities in product design, product verification, and multi-chip packaging to meet market development. The company would like to expand its customer base in premium segments including automotive, industrial, networking, SiP(System-in-Package) and customized products.
Fiscal Year 2017 Business Outlook
The operation focuses in 2017 are to migrate to 20nm process technology, develop 20nm product lineups, deeply-root in specialty market, customize products to increase wafer value, enhance production efficiency, and minimize the negative impact due to technology migration.
Further explanations are described as follows:
-
The pilot run of 20nm process technology was commenced in the first quarter and the mass production of high density 8Gb DDR4 is scheduled for the third quarter. Meanwhile, the Company will carry out fast ramp up of its 20nm wafer starts and aggressively develop LPDDR4 to expand product lineup to meet the requirements of next-generation consumer electronic devices.

Future Corporate Strategy and Industry Outlook
The Company sold its entire shareholdings in Inotera to Micron in December 2016 and at the same time invested NT$31.5B to acquire about 5.26% interest in Micron, becoming one of Micron’s major shareholders. The Company also obtained option rights to license 1x and 1y class DRAM technology nodes from Micron. Based on the new alliance relationship, the Company will, with its strategic positioning, ensure its role as a key supplier in specialty DRAM market.
The DRAM market structure already became an oligopoly. Top 3 suppliers who own advanced technologies are expected to build capacity with discipline to maintain a healthy demand and supply market condition. In addition, complexities of advanced
technologies and related patent rights create huge entry barriers for new comers, not to be overcome in the near term. The overall DRAM supply is expected to maintain its current stability and structure.
The DRAM market recovered significantly from the second half of 2016 and is expected to continue throughout 2017. Supply growth is limited, mainly contributed by advanced process conversion. According to forecasts by market intelligences, worldwide bit growth rate in 2017 will be less than 20%. As for demand side, mid to high end smart phone with high resolution and dual lens cameras, servers, high end/ultra-thin/gaming laptops, 4K digital television and automotive infotainment are key drivers. The demand growth rate is projected to be higher than 20% in

Therefore, it is believed that the DRAM market condition will remain steady in 2017.
We appreciate the trust and support from all of our shareholders. We will make the best effort to deliver great operation performance and increase the company’s value to maximize returns to our shareholders.

| NANYA TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION Statement of Profits Distribution For the year of 2016 Unit: NTD |
Explanation | 1. The Company plans to distribute cash dividends of NT$1.5 per share for current year. 2. The Company distributes dividends for a total of NT$4,122,848,715, all of which are from net profit after tax of 2016. 3. The proposed distribution of cash dividends is based on total outstanding shares of 2,748,565,810 shares and it may be changed by the Company’s employees who exercise their stock options or bondholders who covert their bonds into newly-issued common shares. It is proposed that the Board of Directors be authorized to adjust the ultimate cash dividend per share accordingly. 4. While the distribution of cash dividends to each individual shareholder is less than 1 dollar, the distribution will be rounded to the nearest dollar. 5. Other comprehensive income reclassified to unappropriated retained earnings of current year: adjust the actuarial pension valuation. 6. Reversal of special reserve is appropriated from the net amount of exchange differences losses on translation of foreign financial statements and |
unrealized gains on available-for-sale financial assets in 2015. |
