Shareholders Service

Dear Shareholders,

In 2025, the operating environment has become more complex, with global political, economic, and military developments introducing uncertainty, alongside ongoing geopolitical tensions and tariff issues; inflation, energy transition, and extended logistics cycles continue to affect the value chain, while ESG and low-carbon practices have become fundamental business requirements; at the same time, rapid advances in artificial intelligence are reshaping industry operations, driving transformation in automation, intelligent systems, and computing performance; in response, AOPEN remains focused on disciplined execution and resilience, strengthening supply chain flexibility and regional deployment, and we thank our global partners and employees for their continued trust and commitment, enabling steady progress and sustained growth.

Against this backdrop, AOPEN worked closely with global distribution partners to deploy high‑performance IPC platforms, Edge AI computing systems, and cloud‑based management capabilities across applications including smart manufacturing, digital campuses, interactive retail, and transportation systems. These implementations enable stable equipment operation under demanding conditions. As the AI application market emphasizes practical requirements such as automated data handling, rapid deployment, and measurable performance outcomes, AOPEN’s product solutions, supported by localized technical services, assist customers in establishing a stable position along the AI adoption curve.

In alignment with the shift from pilot validation to scaled deployment, AOPEN has expanded its portfolio from indoor and semi-outdoor to fully outdoor-ready IPC solutions with wide temperature, wide voltage, and ruggedized designs, supporting applications in automation, transportation, education, energy, and public safety; the company continues to strengthen its diversified product portfolio and supply chain efficiency while reinforcing ESG practices, including supplier management and carbon reduction, to enhance long-term competitiveness and shareholder value.

Looking ahead to 2026, global volatility and AI-driven structural change are expected to continue; demand for low-carbon design, green supply chains, and AI computing will further increase; AOPEN will continue to enhance supply chain integration and expand Edge AI solutions across key vertical markets, while embedding sustainability and ESG principles into product development to strengthen resilience and long-term value creation for customers, partners, and shareholders.

Sincerely,

Chairman, Victor Chien
