18、tainty worldwide.We saw business growth in the first half of 2018,but decline in the second half due to concern over US-China trade relations.This mirrored the global economic development trend that started 2018 with a positive outlook,then declined,testing the flexibility and responsiveness of the
19、management of corporations.The International Monetary Fund(IMF)revised the 2018 economic growth rate downward to 3.7%.According to Gartner1,the global semiconductor market revenue was US$476.7 billion in 2018,representing an increase of 13.4%over 2017.Gartner estimates that global semiconductor reve
20、nue will reach US$488.9 billion in 2019,representing a marginal growth rate of 2.6%compared to 2018.According to the statistics of IEK ITIS Program of Industrial Technology Research Institute(ITRI),the total production value of the IC Packaging and Testing industry in 2018 amounted to NT$493 billion
21、,growing by 3.4%compared to 2017.The total production value of the IC Packaging market reached NT$344.5 billion,up 3.5%from the previous year,and the IC Test market NT$148.5 billion,growing 3.1%from 2017.The operational performance of the Company and its subsidiaries(referred hereinafter to as“the G
22、roup”)in the past year is as below:Operational Performance in 2018 1.Outcomes of the 2018 Operational Plan The combined revenues of the Group in 2018 amounted to NT$371.1 billion,an increase of approximately NT$80.7 billion compared to the previous year,with an annual growth rate of 27.8%.The combin
23、ed revenues of the business area of IC packaging were NT$214.2 billion,going up by NT$61.8 billion with a growth rate of 40.6%from 2017,mainly attributed to the contributions of Siliconware since it joined the Group on April 30,2018.Further,in the business area of Electronic Contract Manufacturing(E
24、CM),the combined revenues in 2018 grew by NT$17.9 billion at NT$151.9 billion from 2017 with an annual growth rate of 13.4%.2.Budget Execution The Companys Financial Forecast in 2018 was not disclosed.3.Analysis of Financial Expenditures and Profitability In 2018,the Companys paid-in capital was NT$

30、echnology related to single-chip integration has gradually matured,a trend in line with Moores Law,which has traditionally driven the efficiency of global microelectronics and semiconductors.The electronics product landscape continues to grow and diversify,driven by increasing demands within Interne
31、t of Things(IoT),High Performance Computing(HPC),Artificial Intelligence(AI),automotive,5G,and more.As such,the semiconductor industry supply chain strives to advance to a more valuable and higher level of system integration.This underscores the significance of heterogeneous integration,which can be
32、 defined as the integration of separately manufactured components into an SiP,providing enhanced functionality and improved performance while maintaining the pace of innovation needed for electronics systems today.The Group continues to progress key technology platforms,such as advanced system packa
33、ging and modulation,flip chip bumping/copper wire,and low and medium pin count packaging.Key products and technologies successfully developed in 2018 are as follows:(1)Flip Chip Packaging(FCP):technically attested process of 7-and 10-nano chips,the 14-and 16-nano copper-electroplating process/Low-K
34、dielectric FCP application and silver-alloy wires for hybrid flip chip ball grid array packages.(2)Wire-bond packaging:the development of second generation advanced embedded component packaging,pressure sensor packaging,the technology of bonding copper/gold wires with ultra-fine spacing and wire int
35、ernals,and Mobile DRAM.(3)Wafer Level Packaging:Silicon Photonic component technology,Through-Wafer Via,glass substrate panel packaging,hexahedral Wafer Level Chip Scale Packaging(WLCSP),Fan-Out PoP Chip product development,and the die-to-wafer fitting process.(4)Advanced packaging and modulation:lo
36、w power consumption antenna design and packaging,bendable substrate panel and packaging,dual side thinning and wireless communication modulation,and 5G antenna packaging product development.Summary of the 2019 Business Plan 1.Operational Guideline of the Group(1)To provide clients with services with
37、 the“highest quality.”(2)To generate long-term and stable profits for the Company and clients.(3)To collaborate with vendors and partners to jointly create prosperity.(4)To train employees to become experts and elites in respective fields.(5)To treat all employees“fairly”and“reasonably.”(6)To provid
38、e employees with a harmonious,enjoyable and open work environment.(7)To maintain operational flexibility whenever possible.3 2.Estimated Sales Volume and Supporting Info Based on the industry prospect,future market demands,and productivity of the Group,the estimated sales volume of the Group in 2019
39、 is as follows:Sales Items Estimated Sales Volume Assembly Approx.28.8 billion units Testing Approx.5.2 billion units 3.Key Production and Sales Policies We founded ASE Technology Holding Co.,Ltd.on Apr.30,2018.This move signified a big leap forward,both for the development of the Group and the enti
40、re semiconductor industry.As the semiconductor industry gradually matures,business models continue to evolve so players can stay competitive.With giants working hand-in-hand,there will undoubtedly be greater talent and capital investment,creating better opportunity to serve clients,deliver technolog
41、y,and increase market share.On the pro forma basis,the Groups revenues for semiconductor packaging and testing reached US$8.2 billion in 2018.Meanwhile,the revenues of ECM operation amounted to a record high of US$5 billion in 2018.System-in-Package(SiP)revenue grew by 14%to US$2.2 billion over 2017
42、.It is expected that growth SiP growth momentum will continue to growth in 2019 and beyond.In 2018,the capital expenditures on our machinery and equipment were mainly spent on the testing operation.The annual growth rate reached 4%reaching 8%by the second half of 2018.This growth momentum is expecte
43、d to continue.Next year,we will continue to increase the capital expenditure in a steady fashion,with the main focuses on the integration of new technologies,Fan-Out Wafer Level Packaging(Fan-Out),and SiP.We will also expand the production base and implement factory automation infrastructure.Our pro
44、duction scale and innovation capacities are our fundamental impetus for continuous growth.And we believe SiP and Fan-Out operations will continue to grow.The Group will forge ahead to work on new development and applications of SiP and Fan-Out,and the integrated solutions of low voltage and embedded
45、 power supply.Future Development Strategies of the Group The Group has experienced two waves of growth that can be attributed to Cu Wire and SiP respectively,and will embrace the next wave as related to heterogeneous integration.Semiconductor designs of the future will no longer comprise a single ch
46、ip or die.Instead,designers will focus on creating holistic systems,essentially,heterogeneous integration through SiP.For ASE,it has become very important to create a cross-functional platform that integrates SiP electronic design automation with domain knowledge.In the future,we may reconsider adju
47、sting four key areas,including business partners,cooperation models,innovation,and economic benefits.Regarding the adjustment of business partners,we will strive to have a voice in the value allocation of the global semiconductor industry,increasing cooperation within and across industries,governmen
48、ts,and academia,while connecting allocated business values.As for cooperation models,we will operate and cooperate with specific global competitors.Regarding innovation,as Moores Law gradually slows down,the heterogeneous integration of IC packaging and testing in the future will determine the effic
49、acy of the execution of Moores Law.Lastly,with respect to economic benefits,processes equipped with AI and Industry 4.0 capabilities will be essential.Impacts of the external competitive,regulatory,and overall operational environments 4 Due to the impact of trade relation concerns between the US and
50、 China,international forecasting institutions have revised down their original optimistic figures.The global economy is being overshadowed by trade protectionism,and US-China trade relations have become intrinsically a political issue.An immense trade deficit lies between both countries and its impa
51、cts cover a wide range of areas,including the industrial and real estate industries.Fortunately,both parties have exercised refrain and it is expected that the trade war will not deteriorate to a greater extent.Even though the US and China have reached consensus recently,the trade war created tempor
52、ary turmoil.The trade issues that lie between both countries still depend on global economic development.The Group has plans at the global level and will respond to market development and client demands to make flexible deployment and adjustment of production capacities in order to minimize the impa
53、cts.For the outlook in 2019,as uncertainties still exist domestically and internationally,we will not only keep a watchful eye on international economic trends,but also continuously strive for stability and growth.Jason C.S.Chang,Chairman 5 Executive Summary Unit:NT$in millions Consolidated financia
