Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

In 2022, the COVID-19 epidemic came to an end, but during the epidemic, the electronics industry had overstock at all levels of the supply chain due to poor supply. In particular, the desktop computer market saw its global shipment decline by 16% last year compared to the previous year, resulting in inventory depletion of the entire supply chain. Fortunately, the trend of using edge computing devices was clear, and the accompanying demand for driving sensors, networking products, and terminal servers increased. FSP also made up for the decline in the PC market with the growth of industrial computers, networking computer power supplies, and server power supplies. The overall revenue of FSP was 14.9 billion, which decreased by 10% compared to the previous year, and the number was nearly 19.57 million. More than 60% of them were power supplies for networking and industrial computers. The results of operations in 2022 and the business outlook for 2023 are explained below:
