2020 Business Report 

In  2020,  global  political  and  economic  developments  centered  around  several  major  issues, including  the  Covid‐19  pandemic,  the  U.S.–China  trade  war,  the  U.S.  presidential  election,  and monetary  policy.  The  global  economy  experienced  tremendous  challenges  due  to  the  pandemic  in particular,  with many  countries  suffering  the  immense  impacts.  In  Taiwan,  however,  the  virus  was successfully contained thus far and the economy enjoyed relative stable growth, surpassing those of all developed countries. The Directorate‐General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics  recorded GDP growth of 3.11% for the year, while the Taiwan stock market reached a 30‐year high. 

In  the  early  stages  of  the  pandemic,  CTBC  Holding,  as  Taiwan’s  leading  financial  institution, established various response measures, including remote backup offices, work‐from‐home policy, and reduced in‐person contact, to ensure the health of employees and customers. We also stepped up and fulfilled  our  corporate  social  responsibility  (CSR)  by  supporting  the  government’s  relief  loan  policy, helping the public overcome the economic difficulties and uncertainties brought by the pandemic. 

Even  under  this  challenging  environment,  CTBC  Holding  continued  to  exceed  its  performance expectations.  Looking  forward,  even  with  Covid‐19  lingering,  we  will  continue  to  expand  our businesses  domestically  and  internationally  while  enforcing  the  pandemic  preventive  measures  to provide  the  most  comprehensive  financial  services  and  maximize  synergy  among  our  subsidiaries. Furthermore, we will strengthen our risk management, legal compliance, and corporate governance to lay a solid  foundation  for stable operations, creating mutual benefits  for our customers, employees, shareholders, and community and continuing to be the best governed and most trustworthy financial institution in the minds of customers and shareholders.

2020 business plans, strategies and results 

We have subsidiaries in banking, securities, insurance, venture capital, asset management, securities investment trusts, security, and the national lottery. In terms of our 2020 profits, 99.75% of our recognized investment gains using the equity method came from our banking and insurance subsidiaries, with the remaining 0.25% coming from our other businesses. Our 2020 consolidated after-tax net profit totaled NT$42.9 billion while our consolidated after-tax return on common shareholders’ equity was 11.53%.

In addition, we made substantial progress in the following areas in 2020:

(1) Accelerate overseas markets operations

We are committed to developing cross-border financial services. To this end in 2020, despite great fluctuations in overseas markets due to the pandemic, we made good progress in our operations as we reaped the benefits both of our long-running efforts to cultivate overseas markets and of our dense international network. Moving forward, we will continue to expand into overseas markets, take advantage of supply chain networks, expand our cross-border services, seize capital market international business opportunities, build a comprehensive cross-border financial platform, and continue to evaluate opportunities for M&As and strategic partners in various markets. Regarding the banking's subsidiary, The Tokyo Star Bank, its private equity fund investments, which started in 2012, the bank held 12 funds totaling JPY 6.95 billion as of Dec. 31, 2020, bringing the overall cumulative investment return to 72.5%.

(2) Ensure stable insurance profits

Ever  since  CTBC  Holding  entered  into  the  insurance  business  by  acquiring  Taiwan  Life,  the subsidiary has been an  important profit engine for the group.  It has benefitted from the Company’s diverse channels and rich resources. In addition, its continuous product development which reflected customers’  needs  as  well  as  its  flexible  investment  and  hedging  strategies  have  contributed  to  its 

Attachment 1

strong performance. Taiwan Life’s after‐tax net profit reached NT$16.5 billion in 2020—a new record high  for  the  company.  Furthermore,  to  enhance  its  operational  efficiency,  Taiwan  Life  is  integrating new  technology according  to market needs and  is actively  implementing a digital  transformation  to enable its agency channel to provide policyholders with faster and more comprehensive services.  

Also  in  2020,  the  Financial  Supervisory  Commission  (FSC)  announced  that  Taiwan  would implement  International  Financial  Reporting  Standard  17  (IFRS  17)  in  2026.  As  such,  Taiwan  Life formed a special task force to ensure seamless IFRS 17 adoption and compliance as well as IT system readiness. 

(3) Strengthen digital transformation and innovation

Impact from the competitive environment, regulatory environment, and overall business environment

Faced with domestic, long-term, low interest rate environment as well as monetary easing and low interest rate policies of governments worldwide in response to the pandemic, banks have encountered greater challenges. Furthermore, the keen market competition following the entry of online-only banks and digital financial service companies amid the fintech boom is driving the financial industry to accelerate its digital transformation. As such, CTBC Bank has launched IT system modernization efforts to guide a fundamental transition of its financial service capabilities. Having a more streamlined and nimble IT core system will enable us to respond faster to customers’ needs and maintain our leading position in the industry.

Operating costs have risen in recent years due to the emphasis and stringency in compliance of anti-money laundering and other financial laws and regulations have increased. The competent authority has also pushed for strengthened corporate governance. We already have a strong track record in this regard; notably, we were the first financial holding company in Taiwan with over 50% of its board seats filled by independent directors. In addition, to align ourselves with the regulator’s policies and for sustainable business development, we had established the Corporate Sustainability Office in 2020 and also the Sustainability Committee as one of the functional committees under the Board of Directors. We will continue to fine-tune our management to stay current with international corporate governance trends and to build sustainability into our operations.

As of writing, there is no clear end in sight to the Covid-19 crisis and the eventual global economic recovery remains shrouded in uncertainty. However, we will continue to focus our efforts in prioritizing the health of our employees and providing our customers with the utmost service. Accordingly, we will strive to ensure business continuity and minimize impacts from the pandemic and shall remain cautious yet hopeful in pushing forth our business strategies.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated interim financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

1. Assessment of the fair value of financial instruments

Please refer to Note 4 (f) for the related accounting policies of the assessment of the fair value of financial instruments, Note 5 for the accounting assumptions and estimation uncertainty, and Note 6 (au) for the other details.

Description of key audit matter:

Parts of the financial instruments owned by the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2020 were valued via evaluation model due to the lack of public transaction prices, and parts of the referred input values could not be obtained from the public market. Thus, it demands significant professional judgments from the management by using different valuation techniques and assumptions for input values. Therefore, the assessment of fair value of financial instruments is one of the key audit matters.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our principal audit procedures included: testing the management�s control procedures over the classification,measurement and disclosure of fair value of financial instruments, including evaluating how the management determines the classification of financial instruments and chooses the appropriate evaluation method and the prime parameter hypothesis, and confirming that the presentation and disclosure of financial instruments are in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). For financial instruments with active market prices, we used sampling test to assess the appropriateness of public quoted prices. As to financial instruments using evaluation model to measure their fair value, we used sampling test to confirm the appropriateness of the evaluation method and the prime input values used by the management.

2. Impairment of loans and receivables

Please refer to Note 4 (f) for the related accounting policies of impairment of loans and receivables, Note 5 for the accounting assumptions and estimation uncertainty, and Note 6 (h), (i), (j) and (au) for the other details.

Description of key audit matter:

The management assessed the expected credit loss (ECL) of loans and receivables by identifying whether the credit risk of credit assets has significantly increased since initial recognition, then dividing ECL into 12-month ECL and lifetime ECL, and dividing them into collective assessment and individual assessment to measure them by using different impairment methods. For collective assessment, the impairment is calculated by establishing an impairment model and using the past loss experience, current market conditions and forward-looking estimation on assets with similar credit risk characteristic to form basic estimation. For individual assessment, the measurement is based on expected future recoverable cash flows. The aforementioned measurement methods involved significant professional judgments and estimation by the management; therefore, the impairment of loans and receivables is one of the key audit matters.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our principal audit procedures included: understanding the methodology and related control procedures on how the management assesses and measures the impairment amount of loans and receivables. For collective assessment, we assessed the impairment model adopted by the management and reviewed the appropriateness of the calculation of the impairment parameters (including probability of default, loss given default, exposure at default and recovery rate) via sampling. For individual assessment, we used sampling test to assess the appropriateness of the estimation of future recoverable amounts and the value of collateral.Meanwhile, we assessed whether the allowance for loans and receivables meets the regulation requirements.

3. Provision of insurance liability

Please refer to Note 4 (s) for the related accounting policies of insurance liability, Note 5 for the accountingassumptions and estimation uncertainty, and Note 6 (z) and (ae) for the other details of the provision ofinsurance liability.

Description of key audit matter:

The estimation of the Company and its subsidiaries� insurance liability is subject to future uncertainties. Theassumption of life insurance reserve adopts a fixed cost basis, that is to say, the provision is calculated by areserve rate upon the issuance of insurance policy. Provision of unearned premiums is calculated by actuariesaccording to each product� s characteristic and its undue risk. The main assumptions of claim reserve areclaim development factors and expected claims rates. To evaluate the adequacy of insurance liabilities,estimating the discounted future cash flows should take into consideration the future insurance payments,insurance income and related expenses. The aforementioned evaluation involved the professional judgmentsof the management which will affect the recognition amount of insurance liabilities. Therefore, evaluatingthe provision of insurance liabilities is one of the key audit matters.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our principal audit procedures included: reviewing the analysis of movements in insurance liabilities,adopting the audit of insurance liabilities performed by our actuarial specialists, and inspecting whether thecalculation and applied parameters are in accordance with the related ordinances, administrativeinterpretations and code of conduct announced by the Actuarial Institute of the Republic of China. Also, theassessment on the reasonableness of actuarial assumptions should be in conformity with the empirical dataand product specification in order to build the model of evaluation of insurance liability, as well as theestimation on the reasonableness of the actuarial result adopted by the management should be based on ourunderstanding of industry and market to make sure that the final provision of insurance liability has beenproperly recorded.

Auditor�s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as awhole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor�s report thatincludes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an auditconducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will alwaysdetect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consideredmaterial if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economicdecisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, weexercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidencethat is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of theCompany and its subsidiaries internal control.

3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates andrelated disclosures made by management.

4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management�s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, basedon the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that maycast significant doubt on the Company and its subsidiaries� ability to continue as a going concern. If weconclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors� report to therelated disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modifyour opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor�s report.However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as agoing concern.

5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, includingthe disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or businessactivities within the Company and its subsidiaries to express an opinion on the consolidated financialstatements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, performance of the Group audit and developingthe Group audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control thatwe identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters thatmay reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Page 26: CTBC Financial Holding Co., Ltd. Minutes of the 2021 ...

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were ofmost significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore thekey audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors� report unless law or regulation precludes publicdisclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not becommunicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected tooutweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors� report are Wu, Lin and Tseng,Kuo-Yang.
