Dear shareholders,
The global shipping sector faced significant challenges in 2023 due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, high inflation, soaring interest rates, and the Russia-Ukraine
war. Key factors influencing container shipping markets include: 1. Sluggish global
economic recovery: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) reported a 3.1% global
growth rate in 2023, down from 3.5% in 2022, indicating a slow recovery of major
economies. 2. Escalating geopolitical and economic tensions: Ongoing conflicts
such as the China-US confrontation, the prolonged Russia-Ukraine war, sudden
conflicts such as the Israel-Hamas war, heightened tensions in the Taiwan Strait,
disputes in the South China Sea, and the Red Sea crisis disrupted global supply
chains and industrial operations. 3. Fluctuating market freight rates: The Shanghai
Containerized Freight Index by the Shanghai Shipping Exchange declined from 4,856
in Q1 2022 to 1,065 in Q4 2023, reflecting rapid changes in market conditions.
4. Stringent environmental regulations: Evolving environmental standards from
the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the European Union, the US, and
governments across the globe significantly impacted operating costs and future
planning in the shipping industry.
Amid escalating international conflicts and trade disputes advocating anti-
globalization, decoupling, supply chain disruption, protectionism, technological
barriers, de-risking, friendly shore outsourcing, and supply chain restructuring,
operational risks for the shipping industry are on the rise. Nevertheless, we are fully
committed to navigating the complexities of these challenges.
002
External Competition regulatory, and Overall Business Environments
According to the latest statistics published by Alphaliner, the total capacity
of the global container ship fleet reached 28.14 million TEU in 2023, marking
a 8.2% increase from 2022. Despite a -0.3% growth rate in cargo loading
due to inflation, high interest rates, and soaring costs, we swiftly adapted our
operational strategies to bolster our core competitiveness: 1. Leverage alliances
and joint ventures for a robust global route network. 2. Construct advanced
energy-saving vessels to enhance competitiveness on each route. 3. Embrace
an environmental protection and emission reduction strategy by incorporating
an emission information platform. 4. Rigorously manage operating costs and
optimize fleet capacity allocation. 5. Continuously implement digital processes
to deliver top-notch services to customers.
003
Future Strategies
In the face of numerous challenges in the business environment in 2023,
we have turned “challenges” into “opportunities” by actively deploying
strategies in four major aspects with more forward-looking actions to build
a more solid foundation for future operations. 1. Market trends: Currently,
we have invested relatively substantial capacity and resources in the East-
West routes. Therefore, when the market changes and economic growth in
advanced countries slows, we must adjust our capacity allocation in a timely
manner and pay attention to regional market routes with rapid growth in
cargo volume. 2. Capacity growth: In order to ensure the sustainability of our
operations, we will continue to invest resources in planning new capacity.
Average capacity growth is projected to exceed 5% over the next four years,
where the Group’s capacity will reach 1.75 million TEU in 2024, 1.86 million
TEU in 2025, and 1.92 million TEU in 2026, and eventually exceed 2 million
TEU in 2027, showing that we have full confidence in the future of shipping.
At present, our company ranks seventh in world capacity; however, in terms
of newbuilding, we rank among the top three, which in turn reflects our efforts
in energy conservation, emission reduction and core competitiveness. 3.
Key terminals: In order to cope with new capacity and future route planning,
we have actively invested in key terminals and added equipment to improve
the operational efficiency of existing terminals, including the 7th Container
Terminal of Kaohsiung Port, Singapore, Abu Qir, Rotterdam, the U.S. West
Coast and Colon Container Terminal, etc., in hopes of further improving our
004
service quality. 4. Sustainable management: With the deadline for achieving
the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2023 closing in,
governments and industries have established more specific laws, regulations,
and practical requirements for the 17 SDGs. Meanwhile, as customers are
examining the positions and practices of shipping companies on ESG issues
with higher standards, companies that do not meet ESG standards can hardly
gain a foothold in the market.
Financial Performance
In 2023, our estimated total consolidated operating income was TWD
413.275 billion and our actual consolidated operating income was TWD 276.715
billion, representing an achievement rate of 67%.
In 2023, actual consolidated operating income totaled TWD 276.715 billion,
a decrease of TWD 350.569 billion compared to TWD 627.284 billion in 2022. In
2023, actual consolidated operating costs were TWD 226.806 billion, a decrease
of TWD 2.036 billion compared to TWD 228.841 billion in 2022.
For profitability analysis, we posted a ROA of 5.43%, a ROE of 7.59%, a net
profit margin of 14.45%, and an EPS of TWD 16.70.
005
Operational Plan for 2024
2024 will be full of challenges and opptunities.
According to statistics released by Alphaliner, it is estimated that
market space supply and cargo volume will grow 9.7% and 3.0% in 2024,
respectively, with a supply-demand imbalance in the shipping market.
However, we understand that the market is volatile, whereas supply and
demand do not form a simple linear relationship. While there is a need for
shipping companies to keep abreast of changes in the external environment,
the most important thing for shipping companies is to actively enhance their
competitiveness by concentrating on how to build a perfect route service
network with advanced environmental friendly fleets and key terminals,
accelerating the digitalization of operations, as well as making quick
adjustments to their strategies, tools, or organizations amid the emergence
of new elements in marine shipping arising from the establishment of a new
ecosystem or the formation of new trends.
006
With the evolution of human civilization, business competition among
shipping companies is no longer limited to maritime transportation on the sea,
but also in precision logistics warehousing and distribution on land, far-reaching
air satellite tracking, computing power for big data, and cross-border artificial
intelligence (AI) applications. In other words, competition in the market is all-
round and no longer just a simple consideration of freight rates and shipping
space. We endeavor to build our ability to quickly respond to market changes
through global digital operations, resource integration, and external connections,
which is also known as operational resilience.

based on the nature of the industry and the Company’s operations.
The Company’s Director Remuneration Policy, based on the Company’s
Articles of Incorporation and “Payment Guidelines for Director
Remuneration”, stipulates that if the Company makes a profit for the
fiscal year, the Company will allocate Directors’ Renumeration no
more than 2% of the profit. If the Company has accumulated loss,
the Company shall reserve an amount to offset accumulated losses
beforehand.
For Evergreen Marine, individual Director’s participation in company
operation and contribution will be determined based on a Director’s
personal performance, result of self-evaluation of Director performance
(including but not limited to attendance, in-service education,
participation in operation, interaction with the management team,
057
sustainability promotion, corporate governance implementation and other
standards).
B. Manager’s Remuneration Policy:
The company has established a reasonable salary structure for managers based
on the “Manager’s Remuneration Payment Method.” This method “includes fixed
remuneration such as salary and allowances, as well as variable remuneration
such as year-end bonuses and employee remuneration, pension, and severance
pay. Additionally, the method outlines a performance evaluation process
for managers. The adjustment of annual salary, bonuses, and remuneration
payments are determined based on the results of the annual performance
evaluation. As the method has specific regulations linking a manager’s personal
performance to their remuneration payment, there is no separate remuneration
claim clause.

(1) Environmental Protection
Following the relevant regulations, we established a “Greenhouse gas inventory team” in 2022, and cooper-
ated with professional accounting firms and British Standards Institute (BSI) to carry out greenhouse gas
inventory and verification. We obtained ISO 14064-1:2018 and GHG Protocol carbon emission inventory cer-
tifications in 2022 and 2023, through the inventory and year-by-year emission reduction actions, to implement
the commitment of sustainable shipping.
We have set a carbon dioxide emission reduction target. Based on 2008, and plan to reduce the
carbon dioxide emission rate by 50% in 2030, and expect to achieve the goal of carbon neutral-
ity before 2050. This is the core value of Evergreen Marine in response to global climate change.
We incorporate the concept of environmental protection into its fleet planning, utilizing cutting-edge ship-
building technology and equipment to construct an environmentally conscious fleet that contributes to the
sustainable development of transportation services and the marine environment that international trade
relies on. It has always been the principle and goal of the Company to provide high-quality services to
deliver the goods to the destination port safely and on time, and to make sure the environmental protec-
tion, energy saving, greenhouse gas emission reduction and air pollution reduction at the same time. The
new ship types ordered by the Company are all planned by the Shipbuilding Department. We take the
lead in relevant international regulations and conventions in ship design, and apply advanced ship technol-
ogy to develop optimized ship types to achieve the best efficiency of ship loading and energy saving goals.
We remain committed to utilizing the latest technology to construct new ships that prioritize both
performance and environmental protection. All environmental protection designs comply with rel-
evant international regulations, such as preventing marine oil pollution (through the installation of
double-shell built-in oil tanks that effectively reduce the risk of oil leakage), air pollution and cli-
mate change (in accordance with the Montreal, Kyoto, and Paris Agreements to reduce GWP, ODP,
SOx, NOx emissions), biodiversity (through pressure tank water treatment), and other related issues.
Both the newly built Type M and Type A ships improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emis-
sions, NOx, SOx emissions, and more. In the new ship construction plan, the ship structure of the fleet will
be further optimized. This series of ships adopts a long-stroke main engine, optimized ship type, and bow
equipped with a Hybrid type SOx scrubber. This type of ship will significantly reduce carbon emissions.
We have also obtained ISO 14001:2015 environmental protection certification. We implemented the environ-
mental protection management system in a responsible manner to eliminate environmental risks, and estab-
lished an “Environmental Protection Section” on our official website. We have not only introduced environ-
mental protection measures, but published annual environmental protection-related data.

Business Development Outline
I. Business Highlights
1. Business Scope
Transpacific routes
Evergreen Line, COSCO, CMA CGM and OOCL established the “OCEAN
Alliance” on Apr. 1, 2017. The Trans Pacific trade service was adjusted to a
total of 21 services in May. 1, 2023, including 13 loops for US West Coast (PSW
9 loops, PNW 4 loops) and 8 loops for the US East Coast.
164
Far East - Middle East/Red Sea/ India Subcontinent /Australia /Africa routes
1. Far East-Middle East services: Maintain 5 services, of which 3 services are
under Ocean Alliance.
2. Far East-Red Sea services: Maintain 2 joint services covering major ports of
Red Sea.
3. Far East-India Subcontinent services: Enhance 2 joint services with 8
vessels in total 6 joint services to North-West India subcontinent. East India
services maintain slot purchase pattern with 3 services.
4. Far East-Australia services: Maintain 2 joint services covering port of East
Australia.
5. Far East-Africa services: Maintain 2 joint services for East Africa and South
Africa routes respectively covering major ports of both routes.
Intra-Asia routes
1. Launching KTH routes and provide a direct route from Korea, North China
to Port of Hai Phong effective from June, 2023.
2. Resuming TPH route and provide a direct route from Kaohsiung, Taiwan to
the Port of General Santos, Philippines weekly effective from June, 2023.
3. Berthing Port of Da Nang for CVM routes and provide transfer route
services from Port of Da Nang to Singapore effective from July, 2023.

According to Alphaliner statistics, the global capacity growth rate was 8.2%
and the recession rate of global cargo volume in 2023 was 0.3%. Affected
by high inflation, high interest rates and intensified political and economic
conflicts, the global economic recovery is slow and the growth of cargo volume
in major economies is limited. At the same time, due to the continuous delivery
of new ships, a total of 345 ships with a capacity of 2.28 million TEU were put
into operation throughout the year. The highest increase capacity since 2016
resulting in an imbalance between supply and demand, and decline in market
freight rates.
Looking forward to the year of 2024, Alphaliner estimates that the market
fleet capacity will grow by 9.7% and the cargo volume growth rate will be 3%.
Although the market expects that high inflation and high interest rates have
165
reached the peak and may be adjusted, the global economic outlook has
improved, the continued confrontation between China and the United States,
the Russia-Ukraine war, and the Israeli-Palestinian war have caused spillover
effects that have a huge impact on the global economy. On the other hand,
the Red Sea crisis caused by the Israeli-Palestinian war and the Panama
Canal water level dropped due to climate drought, resulting in congestion in
the canal. In addition to reducing the market's effective transport capacity, it
also has a great impact on the normal operation of the global supply chain and
industrial chain.
166
efficiency and enhance the competitiveness.
C. Shipping digitalization and e-commerce

The Board of Directors has prepared the Company’s 2023 business report, financial
report, and proposal for distribution of earnings. The CPA firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers,
Taiwan has audited the financial report and issued the audit report.
The above business report, financial report, and proposal for distribution of earnings
have been reviewed and determined to be correct and accurate by the Audit Committee
members of EVERGREEN MARINE CORPORATION (TAIWAN) LTD. In accordance with
Article 14-4 of the Securities and Exchange Act and Article 219 of the Company Act, we
hereby submit this report.

V. Consolidated Financial Statements and Report of Independent Accountants
Introduction
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Evergreen Marine
Corporation (Taiwan) Ltd. (the“ Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred
herein as the “Group”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated
statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years
then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of
material accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent auditors (please
refer to Other Matter section of our report), the accompanying consolidated financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the
Group as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its consolidated financial performance and
its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations
Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the
International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC
Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial
Supervisory Commission.
~2~
212
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Financial
Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants” and
Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards
are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated
financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance
with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of
China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements. Based on our audits and the reports of other independent auditors, we
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion.
~3~
213
The Group primarily engages in global container shipping service covering ocean-going
and short-sea shipping line, shipping agency business as well as container freight station
business. In 2023, freight revenue from contracts with customers was NT$ 255,739,783
thousand, representing 92.42% of operating revenue. Since ocean-going shipping often
lasts for several days, voyages are sometimes completed after the balance sheet date. Also,
demand for freight services from forwarders is consistently received during voyage. Due
to the factors mentioned above, freight revenue is recognized under the percentage-of-
completion method for each vessel of which the service has been provided during the
reporting period.
Despite the Group conducting business worldwide, its transactions are all in small
amounts, whereas the freight rate is subject to fluctuation caused by cargo loading rate as
well as market competition. Worldwide shipping agencies use a system to record the
transactions by entering data including shipping departure, destination, counterparty,
transit time, shipping amounts, and freight price for the Group. Therefore, the
management could recognize freight revenue in accordance with the data on bill of lading
reports generated from the system, accompanied by estimation made from past experience
and current cargo loading conditions the revenue that would flow in, and calculate the
revenue under the percentage-of-completion method. As the process of recording
transactions, communicating with agencies, and maintaining the system are done
manually, and the estimation of freight revenue are subject to management’s judgement,
therefore freight revenue involves high uncertainty and is material to the financial
statements. Given the conditions mentioned above, we consider the accuracy of freight
revenue and the appropriate use of cut-off as a key audit matter.
~4~
214
How our audit addressed the matter
Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the
following:
1. Obtained an understanding of the operation and industry of the Group to assess the
reasonableness of policies and procedures on revenue recognition, and confirmed
whether it is appropriate to the financial statements.
2. Obtained an understanding of the procedures of revenue recognition from booking,
picking, billing to receiving. Assessed and tested relevant internal controls, including
checking freight items and amounts of delivery information against the approved
contracts and booking list. In addition, recalculated the accuracy of freight revenue,
and ensured its consistency with the bill of lading report.
3. Obtained the estimated freight income report for vessels underway as of balance sheet
date, and inquired with management for the reasonableness of judgement. In addition,
checked historical freight revenue for total voyage under each individual vessel, along
with comparing with current cargo loading condition as well as actual revenue
received after period end to ensure the reasonableness of revenue assumptions.
4. Confirmed the completeness of vessels underway for the reporting period, including
tracking the movements of shipments on the internet to ensure the vessels that depart
before period end have been taken into consideration in the freight revenue calculation.
5. Verified accuracy of data used in calculating percentage of completion under each
voyage, including selecting samples and checking whether the total shipping days
shown on the Company’s website are in agreement with cruise timetable, considering
the number of days delayed in the shipping routes due to port congestion as well as
recalculating the shipping days (days between departure and balance sheet date), in
order to examine the reasonableness of percentage applied.

Assessment of the reasonableness of the purchase price allocation for
business combination
Description
Please refer to Note 4(34) for accounting policies on business combination and Note 6(34)
for details of business combination.
In July 2023, the subsidiary, Evergreen Marine (Asia) Pte. Ltd., acquired 100% of the
share capital of Evergreen Marine (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. for NT$ 24,133,200 thousand.
Relevant reports of the purchase price allocation were completed in the fourth quarter of
2023. Fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired was NT$ 29,097,422 thousand and
gain recognised in bargain purchase transaction generated was NT$ 4,964,222 thousand.
The business combination is a significant transaction during the reporting period. The
abovementioned net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities is based on the
assessment of the management and the report of price allocation issued by the engaged
professional valuer. Given that critical judgements and accounting estimates such as the
assessment and measurement of the fair value are involved and the estimated results are
significant to the financial statements, we consider the assessment of the share capital
purchase price allocation as a key audit matter.
1. Assessed the competence and objectivity of the external appraiser engaged by the
management.
2. Reviewed the measurement of fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities, the
discount rate and the reasonableness of calculation of gain recognised in bargain
purchase transaction in the report of purchase price allocation issued by the external
appraiser.

Other matter – Reference to the reports of other independent auditors
We did not audit the financial statements of all the consolidated subsidiaries. Those
statements and the information disclosed in Note 13 were audited by other independent
auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our audit expressed herein
is based solely on the reports of the other independent auditors. The statements reflect that
total assets in these subsidiaries amounted to NT$ 55,857,834 thousand and NT$
64,803,127 thousand, constituting 7.63% and 7.30% of the total consolidated assets as of

amounted to NT$ 2,447,570 thousand and NT$ 2,901,350 thousand, constituting 0.88%
and 0.46% of the total consolidated net operating revenues of 2023 and 2022 for the years

furnished to us, and our audit expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included
for those investee companies accounted for using equity method and information
disclosed in Note 13 related to these long-term equity investments, is based solely on the
reports of the other independent auditors. Long-term equity investments in these investee
companies amounted to NT$ 21,949,254 thousand and NT$ 29,272,471 thousand,
constituting 3.00% and 3.30% of the total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2023
and 2022, respectively, and comprehensive income (including share of profit or loss and
share of other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures accounted for using
equity method) was NT$ 4,772,986 thousand and NT$ 6,819,519 thousand, constituting

then ended, respectively.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial
statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,
and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high
level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the
Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China,
we exercise 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 due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures
responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
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 are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
~9~
219
4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty
exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s
ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence
obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions
may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial
statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent
the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of
the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the
consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision
and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit
opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any
significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied
with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with
them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
~10~
220
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those
matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements
of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in
our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter
or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements
are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless
otherwise stated.
(1) Compliance statement
These consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the
Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, International
Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC® Interpretations, and
SIC® Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the
“IFRSs”).
(2) Basis of preparation
A. Except for the following items, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under
the historical cost convention:
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through
profit or loss.
(b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
(c) Defined benefit liabilities recognised based on the net amount of pension fund assets less
present value of defined benefit obligation.
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical
accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of
applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or
complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial
statements are disclosed in Note 5.
(3) Basis of consolidation
(a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are
all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity
when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity
and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of
subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when
the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.
(b) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between
companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been
adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
(c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of
the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the
owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non controlling
interests having a deficit balance.
32!
231
(d) Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing
control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as equity
transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between
the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the
consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity.
(e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in
the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial
recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture.
Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. All
amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are
reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or
liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or
losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should
be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit
or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange
rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are
recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except when deferred in other
comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are re-
translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences
arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.
(c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value
through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet
date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive
income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their
translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, non-
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair
value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
(d) All other foreign exchange gains and losses based on the nature of those transactions are
presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.
B. Translation of foreign operations
(a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities and associates that have a
functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the
presentation currency as follows:
i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange
rate at the date of that balance sheet;
ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average
exchange rates of that period; and
iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
(b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is an associate, exchange differences
that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately reclassified to profit or
loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, even when the Group retains partial interest
in the former foreign associate after losing significant influence over the former foreign
associate, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these foreign
operations.
42!
241
(c) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange
differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred
to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when the Group
retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign
subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign
operation.
(d) Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated
as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing exchange rates at the
balance sheet date.
(5) Classification of current and non-current items
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are
classified as non-current assets:
(a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be
sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
(b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
(c) Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
(d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to
be exchanged or used to settle liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they
are classified as non-current liabilities:
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle;
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
(c) Liabilities that are to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
(d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than
twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the
counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its
classification.
(6) Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known
amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits with
original maturities of three months or less that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose
of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
(7) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at
amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are
recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
43!
242
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value and recognises the
transaction costs in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair
value, and recognises the gain or loss in profit or loss.
D. The Group recognises the dividend income when the right to receive payment is established, future
economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the
dividend can be measured reliably.
(8) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
A. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities
which are not held for trading, and for which the Group has made an irrevocable election at initial
recognition to recognise changes in fair value in other comprehensive income and debt instruments
which meet all of the following criteria:
(a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash
flows and selling financial assets; and
(b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive
income are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs.
The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value:
(a) The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognised in other comprehensive
income are reclassified to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss following
the derecognition of the investment. Dividends are recognised as other income when the right
to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will
flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
(b) Except for the recognition of impairment loss, interest income and gain or loss on foreign
exchange which are recognised in profit or loss, the changes in fair value of debt instruments
are taken through other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognised, the
cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified
from equity to profit or loss.
(9) Financial assets at amortised cost
A. Financial assets at amortised cost are those that meet all of the following criteria:
(a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.
(b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at amortised cost are recognised and
derecognised using trade date accounting.
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs.
Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective
interest method. A gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or
impaired.
44!
243
D. The Group’s time deposits which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short maturity
period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(10) Notes, accounts and other receivables
A. Notes and account receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange
for transferred goods or rendered services. Receivables arising from transactions other than the
sale of goods or service are classified as other receivables.
B. The short-term notes receivable, accounts receivable and other receivables without bearing
interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is
immaterial.
(11) Impairment of financial assets
For debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial
assets at amortised cost including accounts receivable or contract assets that have a significant
financing component at each reporting date, the Group recognises the impairment provision for 12
months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial
recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if
such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable
and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable or
contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognises the
impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
(12) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:
A. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset expire.
B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred and
the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred;
however, the Group has not retained control of the financial asset.
(13) Operating leases (lessor) – lease receivable / operating leases
A. Based on the terms of a lease contract, a lease is classified as a finance lease if the lessee assumes
substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset.
(a) At commencement of the lease term, the lessor should record a finance lease in the balance
sheet as ‘lease receivables’ at an amount equal to the gross investment in the lease (including
initial direct costs). The difference between gross lease receivable and the present value of
the receivable is recognised as ‘unearned finance income of finance lease’.
(b) The lessor should allocate finance income over the lease term based on a systematic and
rational basis reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the lessor’s net investment in the
finance lease.
(c) Lease payments (excluding costs for services) during the lease term are applied against the
gross investment in the lease to reduce both the principal and the unearned finance income.
45!
244
B. Lease income from an operating lease (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognised in
profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(14) Inventories
Inventories refer to fuel inventories and steel inventories. Fuel inventories are physically measured
by the crew of each ship and reported back to the Head Office through telegraph for recording
purposes at balance sheet date. Valuation of inventories is based on the exchange rate prevailing at
balance sheet date.
The perpetual inventory system is adopted for steel inventory recognition. Steel inventories are
stated at cost. The cost is determined using the weighted-average method. At the end of period,
inventories are evaluated at the lower of cost or net realisable value, and the individual item approach
is used in the comparison of cost and net realisable value. The calculation of net realisable value
should be based on the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, net of estimated
costs of completion and estimated selling expenses.
(15) Investments accounted for using equity method / associates
A. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In
general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or
indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are
accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost.
B. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or
loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised
in other comprehensive income. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or
exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does
not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made
payments on behalf of the associate.
C. When changes in an associate’s equity that are not recognised in profit or loss or other
comprehensive income of the associate and such changes not affecting the Group’s ownership
percentage of the associate, the Group recognises the Group’s share of change in equity of the
associate in ‘capital surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.
D. Unrealised gains and loss on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to
the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless
the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies
of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted
by the Group.
46!
245
E. In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Group does not subscribe or acquire new
shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Group’s ownership percentage of the
associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then ‘capital surplus’ and
‘investments accounted for using equity method’ shall be adjusted for the increase or decrease
of its share of equity interest. If the above condition causes a decrease in the Group’s ownership
percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the amounts previously
recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit
or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities
were disposed of.
F. Upon loss of significant influence over an associate, the Group remeasures any investment
retained in the former associate at its fair value. Any difference between fair value and carrying
amount is recognised in profit or loss.
G. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this
associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the
associate, are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant
assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the
amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are
reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.
H. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this
associate, the amounts previously recognised as capital surplus in relation to the associate are
transferred to profit or loss. If it still retains significant influence over this associate, then the
amounts previously recognised as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to
profit or loss proportionately.
(16) Property, plant and equipment
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the
construction period are capitalised.
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will
flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the
replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss
during the financial period in which they are incurred.
C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are
depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives.
Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation
to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.
47!
246
D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if
appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful
lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic
benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a
change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and
Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment
are as follows:
Buildings (Including repairments) 3 ~ 115 years
Loading and unloading equipment 3 ~ 20 years
Ships (Except for docking repair, ballast water,
lashing gears equipment and scrubber) 3 ~ 25 years
Ships (Docking repair) 2 ~ 5 years
Ships (Ballast water, lashing gears equipment
and scrubber) 6 ~ 10 years
Transportation equipment 6 ~ 10 years
Other equipment 2 ~ 20 years
The above docking repair, ballast water, lashing gears equipment and scrubber pertain to the
significant components of ships.
(17) Leasing arrangements (lessee)ɡright-of-use assets/ lease liabilities
A. Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at
which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. For short-term leases or leases of low-
value assets, lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the
commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate.
Lease payments are comprised of the following:
(a) Fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;
(b) Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate; and
(c) The exercise price of a purchase option, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that
option.
The Group subsequently measures the lease liability at amortised cost using the interest method
and recognises interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the
amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are
changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract
modifications.
C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the following:
(a) The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;
(b) Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date;
48!
247
(c) Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and
(d) An estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying
asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition
required by the terms and conditions of the lease.
The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the
commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term.
When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an
adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
D. For lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the lessee shall decrease the carrying
amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognise
the difference between remeasured lease liability in profit or loss.
(18) Investment property
An investment property is stated initially at its cost and measured subsequently using the cost model.
Except for land, investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful
life of 8.75 ~ 55 years.
(19) Intangible assets
A. Computer software
Computer software is stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful
life of 2 ~ 5 years.
B. Goodwill
Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
C. Customer relationship
Customer relationship arises from the business combination is measured initially at their fair
values at the acquisition date. Customer relationship has a finite useful life and are amortised on
a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 8.05 ~ 19 years.
(20) Impairment of non-financial assets
A. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where
there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by
which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is
the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. Except for goodwill, when the
circumstances or reasons for recognising impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer
exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal
should not be more than what the depreciated or amortised historical cost would have been if the
impairment had not been recognised.
B. The recoverable amounts of goodwill are evaluated periodically. An impairment loss is
recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment loss of goodwill previously recognised in profit or loss shall not be reversed in the
following years.
49!
248
(21) Borrowings
A. Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings and other long-term and short-
term loans. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred.
Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net
of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of
the borrowings using the effective interest method.
B. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to
the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the
fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable
that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for
liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
(22) Accounts payable
A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services.
B. The short-term notes and accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured
at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(23) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
A. Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for
the purpose of repurchasing in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorised as financial
liabilities held for trading unless they are designated as hedges or financial liabilities at fair value
through profit or loss. Financial liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are designated
as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition:
(a) Hybrid (combined) contracts; or
(b) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or
(c) They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with
a documented risk management policy.
B. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial liabilities at fair value. All related
transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures these
financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.
(24) Bonds payable
Ordinary corporate bonds issued by the Group are initially recognised at fair value less transaction
costs. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is
presented as an addition to or deduction from bonds payable, which is amortised to profit or loss
over the period of bond circulation using the effective interest method as an adjustment to ‘finance
costs’.
4:!
249
(25) Convertible bonds payable (Compound financial instruments)
Convertible bonds issued by the Group contain conversion options (that is, the bondholders have
the right to convert the bonds into the Group’s common shares by exchanging a fixed amount of
cash for a fixed number of common shares), call options and put options. The Group classifies the
bonds payable upon issuance as a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in
accordance with the contract terms. They are accounted for as follows:
A. The embedded call options and put options are recognised initially at net fair value as ‘financial
assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’. They are subsequently
remeasured and stated at fair value on each balance sheet date; the gain or loss is recognised as
‘gain or loss on valuation of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss’.
B. The host contracts of bonds are initially recognised at fair value. Any difference between the
initial recognition and the redemption value is accounted for as the premium or discount on bonds
payable and subsequently is amortised in profit or loss as an adjustment to ‘finance costs’ over
the period of circulation using the effective interest method.
C. The embedded conversion options which meet the definition of an equity instrument are initially
recognised in ‘capital surplus—share options’ at the residual amount of total issue price less the
amount of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and bonds
payable as stated above. Conversion options are not subsequently remeasured.
D. Any transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance are allocated to each liability or equity
component in proportion to the initial carrying amount of each abovementioned item.
E. When bondholders exercise conversion options, the liability component of the bonds (including
bonds payable and ‘financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’)
shall be remeasured on the conversion date. The issuance cost of converted common shares is
the total book value of the abovementioned liability component and ‘capital surplus—share
options’.
(26) Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged
or cancelled or expires.
(27) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the balance sheet when
there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle
on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
51!
250
(28) Hedge accounting
A. At the inception of the hedging relationship, there is formal designation and documentation of
the hedging relationship and the Group’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking
the hedge. That documentation shall include identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged
item, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the Group will assess whether the hedging
relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements.
B. The Group designates the hedging relationship as Cash flow hedge:
A hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk
associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction.
C. Cash flow hedges
(a)The cash flow hedge reserve associated with the hedged item is adjusted to the lower of the
following (in absolute amounts):
i. the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument from inception of the hedge; and
ii. the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item from inception of the hedge.
(b)The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in other
comprehensive income. The gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the ineffective
portion is recognised in profit or loss.
(c)The amount that has been accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve in accordance with (a)
is accounted for as follows:
i. If a hedged forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial
asset or non-financial liability, or a hedged forecast transaction for a non-financial asset or
non-financial liability becomes a firm commitment for which fair value hedge accounting
is applied, the Group shall remove that amount from the cash flow hedge reserve and
include it directly in the initial cost or other carrying amount of the asset or liability.
ii. For cash flow hedges other than those covered by item i. above, that amount shall be
reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve to profit or loss as a reclassification
adjustment in the same period or periods during which the hedged expected future cash
flows affect profit or loss.
iii. If that amount is a loss and the Group expects that all or a portion of that loss will not be
recovered in one or more future periods, it shall immediately reclassify the amount that is
not expected to be recovered into profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment.
(d) When the hedging instrument expires, or is sold, terminated, exercised or when the hedging
relationship ceases to meet the qualifying criteria, if the forecast transaction is still expected
to occur, the amount that has been accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve shall remain
in the cash flow hedge reserve until the forecast transaction occurs; if the forecast transaction
is no longer expected to occur, the amount shall be immediately reclassified from the cash
flow hedge reserve to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment.
52!
251
(29) Employee benefits
A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected
to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as
expense in that period when the employees render service.
B. Pensions
(a) Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expense when
they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent
of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
(b) Defined benefit plans
i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of
pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group
in current period or prior periods. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of
defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the
balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is
calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The
rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds
that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms
to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability; when there is no
deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, the Group uses interest rates of government
bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.
ii. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive
income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.
iii. Past service costs are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
C. Termination benefits
Termination benefits are employee benefits provided in exchange for the termination of
employment as a result from either the Group’s decision to terminate an employee’s employment
before the normal retirement date, or an employee’s decision to accept an offer of redundancy
benefits in exchange for the termination of employment. The Group recognises expense as it can
no longer withdraw an offer of termination benefits or it recognises relating restructuring costs,
whichever is earlier. Benefits that are expected to be due more than 12 months after balance sheet
date shall be discounted to their present value.
53!
252
D. Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration
Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration are recognised as expense and liability,
provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those
amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the
subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee
compensation is paid by shares, the Group calculates the number of shares based on the closing
price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
(30) Income tax
A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or
loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or
items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive
income or equity.
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively
enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate
and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns
with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions
where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional
tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in
the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
C. Deferred income tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary
differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in
the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising
on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the
temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference
will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and
laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected
to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability
is settled.
D. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit
will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet
date, unrecognised and recognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed.
E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance
sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an
intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the
legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are
levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to
settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
54!
253
F. A deferred tax asset shall be recognised for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from
equity investments to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available
against which the unused tax credits can be utilised.
(31) Dividends
Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are
resolved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities; stock dividends
are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the
effective date of new shares issuance.
(32) Revenue recognition
A. Sales of services
Revenue from delivering services is recognised under the percentage-of-completion method
when the outcome of services provided can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion of a
service contract is measured by the percentage of the actual services performed as of the financial
reporting date to the total services to be performed. If the outcome of a service contract cannot
be estimated reliably, contract revenue should be recognised only to the extent that contract costs
incurred are likely to be recoverable. The customer pays at the time specified in the payment
schedule. If the services rendered exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognised. If the
payments exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognised.
B. Rental revenue
The Group leases ships and shipping spaces under IFRS 16, ‘Leases’. Lease assets are classified
as finance leases or operating leases based on the transferred proportion of the risks and rewards
incidental to ownership of the leased asset, and recognised in revenue over the lease term.
(33) Government grants
Government grants are recognised at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that
the Group will comply with any conditions attached to the grants and the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which
the Group recognises expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.
(34) Business combinations
A. The Group uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration
transferred for an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities
incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued at the acquisition date, plus the fair value of
any assets and liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. All acquisition-
related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent
liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the
acquisition date. For each business combination, the Group measures at the acquisition date
components of non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and
entitle their holders to the proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation
at either fair value or the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognised
55!
254
amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other non-controlling interests should be
measured at the acquisition-date fair value.
B. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the
acquiree and the fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of
the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill at the
acquisition date. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest in the acquiree
recognised and the fair value of previously held equity interest in the acquiree is less than the
fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, the difference is
recognised directly in profit or loss on the acquisition date.
(35) Operating segments
The Group’s operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting
provided to the Chief Operating Decision-Maker. The Chief Operating Decision-Maker is
responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF
ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical
judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates
concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are
continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions
and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below:
(1) Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies
Lease term
In determining the lease term, the Group takes into consideration all facts and circumstances that
create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option or not to exercise a termination option,
including the expected changes of all fact and situation for the period from the commencement date
of lease to the execution date of options. Also, the Group took into consideration the main factors,
such as the contract terms and conditions during the option covered period and the importance to
lessee’s operation if the significant lease improvement and underlying assets incurred during the
contract terms. When significant events or significant changes occur within the Group’s control, the
lease term will be re-estimated.
56!
255
(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
Revenue recognition
The Group primarily engages in global container shipping service covering ocean-going and near-sea
shipping line. Despite the Group conducting business worldwide, its transactions are all in small
amounts, whereas the freight rate is subject to fluctuation caused by cargo loading rate as well as
market competition. Worldwide shipping agencies use a system to record the transactions by entering
data including shipping departure, destination, counterparty, transit time, shipping amounts, and
freight price for the Group. Therefore, the Group could recognise freight revenue in accordance with
the data on bill of lading reports generated from the system, accompanied by estimation made from
past experience and current cargo loading conditions the revenue that would flow in. Since ocean-
going shipping often lasts for several days, voyages are sometimes completed after the balance sheet
date. Also, demands for freight are consistently sent by forwarders during voyage. Due to the factors
mentioned above, freight revenue is recognised under the percentage-of-completion method for each
vessel during the reporting period. As the estimation of freight revenue are subject to management’s
judgement, therefore freight revenue involves high uncertainty. Given the conditions mentioned
above, this may result in adjustments to the estimation amounts.

(4) Hedging financial assets
To hedge the impact of expected variable exchange rate risk arising from US dollar denominated
equipment payable, the Company designated US dollar denominated restricted time deposits as the
hedging instruments for hedging the highly probable foreign exchange variation of future US dollar
denominated equipment payable and adopted cash flow hedge accounting. Moreover, the effective
portion with respect to the changes in the hedging instruments caused by exchange rate risk is deferred
to recognise in gains (loss) on hedging instruments, which is under other equity interest, and will be
reclassified to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment when the hedged items are occurred.

E. On June 19, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to dispose the Company’s
equity interest in EVA through stock exchange market, and the number of shares and the amounts
settled on August 14, 2023 and August 21, 2023 totalled 375,402 thousand shares and $13,046,838,
respectively, resulting in an aggregate gain of disposal of $6,260,209. After the disposal and due
to the conversion of EVA’s convertible bonds into stocks during the year ended December 31,
2023, the Company’s share interest in EVA decreased to 7.43% as of December 31, 2023.

G. Considering that Evergreen Steel Corp. generates stable profits from its main business and the
outlook of the environmental protection and green energy industry in which Evergreen Steel Corp.
reinvests is promising, on November 4, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to
acquire the equity interest in Evergreen Steel Corp. through stock exchange market to purchase
79,248 thousand shares at a price of $48.20 per share and acquire 19% equity interests in the entity
and the transaction price amounted to $3,819,754.
H. On December 14, 2022, the Board of Directors of Balsam Investment (Netherlands) N.V. resolved
the capital reduction and the proceeds from capital reduction amounted to EUR 276,000. The
subsidiary, Peony, acquired $4,272,064 (approx. EUR 135,240) in proportion to its ownership
from the capital reduction.
I. The Company is the single largest shareholder of EITC with a 40.36% equity interest. Given that
the main source of economic profits of EITC’s related party transactions is generated from
Evergreen Line, and there is no agreement between the Group and other related parties of
Evergreen Line to make decisions in consultation or collectively; however, in order to maintain
the equity balance between the Group and other related parties, the Company governs EITC with
other related parties to maintain mutual and other shareholders’ best interests; apart from
independent directors, the number of seats held by the Company on the Board are the same as
other related parties’, which indicates that the Company has no current ability to direct the relevant
activities of EITC, thus, the Company has no control, but only has significant influence, over the
investee.
J. The Company is the single largest shareholder of TPCT with a 27.85% equity interest. Given that
the other two large shareholders (non-related parties) also operate transportation business and hold
more shares than the Company, and there is no agreement between the shareholders to make
decisions in consultation or collectively as they make decisions independently, which indicates
that the Company has no current ability to direct the relevant decisions of TPCT, thus, the
Company has no control, but only has significant influence, over the investee.
K. The Company is the single largest shareholder of EGST with a 19.00% equity interest. Given that
the other top ten large shareholders (including other related parties and non-related parties) hold
more shares than the Company, and there is no agreement between the shareholders to make
decisions in consultation or collectively as they make decisions independently, which indicates
that the Company has no current ability to direct the relevant decisions of EGST, thus, the
Company has no control, but only has significant influence, over the investee.

service years prior to the enforcement of the Labor Pension Act on July 1, 2005 and service
years thereafter of employees who chose to continue to be subject to the pension mechanism
under the Act. Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are accrued for each year of
service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter, subject to a
maximum of 45 units. Pension benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the
average monthly salaries and wages of the last 6 months prior to retirement. The Company
contributes monthly an amount equal to 15% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages
to the retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of the
independent retirement fund committee. Also, the Company would assess the balance in the
aforementioned labor pension reserve account by December 31, every year. If the account
balance is insufficient to pay the pension calculated by the aforementioned method to the
employees expected to qualify for retirement in the following year, the Company will make
contributions for the deficit by next March.
(b) The employees with R.O.C. nationality of the Group’s subsidiaries, EMA, EGH, GMS, EMU
and EMS, adopted the Act. Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are accrued for
each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter,

(e) The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of the Company’s and its
domestic subsidiaries-TTSC and ESRC’s defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the
Fund’s annual investment and utilisation plan and the “Regulations for Revenues,
Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilisation of the Labor Retirement Fund” (Article 6: The scope
of utilization for the Fund includes deposit in domestic or foreign financial institutions,
investment in domestic or foreign listed, over-the-counter, or private placement equity
securities, investment in domestic or foreign real estate securitization products, etc.). With
regard to the utilisation of the Fund, its minimum earnings in the annual distributions on the
final financial statements shall be no less than the earnings attainable from the amounts
accrued from two-year time deposits with the interest rates offered by local banks. If the
earning is less than aforementioned rates, government shall make payment for the deficit after
being authorized by the Regulator. The Group has no right to participate in managing and
operating that fund and hence the Group is unable to disclose the classification of plan asset
fair value in accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142. The composition of fair value of plan
assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund
Utilisation Report announced by the government.

(f) The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:
Year ended Year ended

Discount rate 1.13%~7.60% 0.46%~7.45%
Future salary increases 1.00%~10% 1.55%~10%
Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are set based on actuarial advice in
accordance with published statistics and experience in each territory.
Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit
obligation is affected. The analysis was as follows:
Discount rate Future salary increases
Increase Decrease Increase Decrease

Effect on present value of
defined benefit
obligation ($ 200,532) $ 216,058 $ 162,151 ($ 148,946)
The sensitivity analysis above is based on one assumption which changed while the other
conditions remain unchanged. In practice, more than one assumption may change all at once.
The method of analysing sensitivity and the method of calculating net pension liability in the
balance sheet are the same. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the
sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous period.
(g) Expected contributions to the defined benefit pension plans of the Company and its
subsidiary-TTSC and ESRC for the year ending December 31, 2024 amount to $179,163.
(h) As of December 31, 2023, the weighted average duration of the retirement plan is 4~25 years.
B. (a) Effective July 1, 2005, the Company and its domestic subsidiary-TTSC and ESRC have
established a defined contribution pension plan (the “New Plan”) under the Labor Pension
Act (the “Act”), covering all regular employees with R.O.C. nationality. Under the New Plan,
the Company and its domestic subsidiary-TTSC and ESRC contribute monthly an amount

ii. The Group’s management has set up a policy to require group companies to manage their
foreign exchange risk against their functional currency. The group companies are required
to hedge their entire foreign exchange risk exposure with the Group’s Finance Department.
To manage their foreign exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and
recognised assets and liabilities, entities in the Group use forward foreign exchange
contracts, transacted with Group’s Finance Department. Foreign exchange risk arises when
future commercial transactions or recognised assets or liabilities are denominated in a
foreign currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.
iii. The Group’s businesses involve some non-functional currency operations (the Company’s
and certain subsidiaries’ functional currency: NTD; other certain subsidiaries’ functional
currency: USD, EUR, CNY and others). The information on assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies whose values would be materially affected by the
exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:

Price risk
i. The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held by the
Group and classified on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value through other
comprehensive income. The Group is not exposed to significant commodity price risk. To
manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its
portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the
Group.
ii. The Group’s investments in equity securities comprise domestic listed and unlisted stocks.
The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of
investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 1%
with all other variables held constant, equity would have increased/decreased by $19,144
and $15,496 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, as a result of
other comprehensive income classified as equity investment at fair value through other
comprehensive income.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
i. The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at
variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by
cash and cash equivalents held at variable rates. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose
the Group to fair value interest rate risk. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and
2022, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in the NTD and USD.
21:!
319
ii. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, if interest rates on borrowings had been 1% higher/lower
with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the years ended December 31,
2023 and 2022 would have been $258,437 and $271,247 lower/higher, respectively, mainly
as a result of higher/lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings.
(b) Credit risk
i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients
or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is
that counterparties could not repay in full the notes receivable, accounts receivable, contract
assets and financial assets at amortised cost based on the agreed terms.
ii. The Group manages their credit risk taking into consideration the entire group’s concern.
According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for
managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their clients before standard payment and
delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of
the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
iii. The Group manages their credit risk taking into consideration the entire group’s concern.
For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with good credit rating
are accepted.
iv. The Group adopts following assumptions under IFRS 9 to assess whether there has been a
significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition:
If the contract payments were past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a
significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.
v. The default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 30 days.
vi. The following indicators are used to determine whether the credit impairment of debt
instruments has occurred:
(i) It becomes probable that the issuer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation
due to their financial difficulties;
(ii) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial
difficulties;
(iii) Default or delinquency in interest or principal repayments;
(iv) Adverse changes in national or regional economic conditions that are expected to cause
a default.
vii. The Group classifies customers’ accounts receivable and contract assets in accordance with
geographic area. The Group applies the modified approach based on the loss rate
methodology to estimate expected credit loss.
viii. The Group wrote-off the financial assets, which cannot be reasonably expected to be
recovered, after initiating recourse procedures. However, the Group will continue executing
the recourse procedures to secure their rights. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group
has no written-off financial assets that are still under recourse procedures.
221!
320
ix. The Group used the forecastability to adjust historical, timely information, economic
conditions of the industry, GDP forecast and trade growth rate to assess the default
possibility of notes receivable, accounts receivable (including related parties) and contract
assets. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the loss rate methodology is as follows:
Notes receivable
December 31, 2023 Total book value Expected loss rate Loss allowance
Not past due $ 74,020 0.0000%~0.5000% $ 17

(3) Fair value estimation
A. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of
financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the
entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active if it meets all
the following conditions: the items traded in the market are homogeneous; willing
buyers and sellers can normally be found at any time; and prices are available to the
public. The fair value of the Group’s investment in listed stocks, beneficiary certificates
and derivative instruments with quoted market prices is included in Level.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset
or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
B. Fair value information of investment property at cost is provided in Note 6(12).
C. Financial instruments not measured at fair value
Except for those listed in the table below, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents,
notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, financial assets measured at amortised
cost, financial liabilities for hedging, notes payable, accounts payable, other payables and lease
liabilities are approximate to their fair values:

(b) The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:
i. The instruments the Group used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1)
are listed below by characteristics:
Listed shares Open-end fund
Market quoted price Closing price Net asset value
ii. Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial
instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty
quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can
be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in
substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated
by applying model using market information available at the consolidated balance sheet
date (i.e. yield curves on the Taipei Exchange, average commercial paper interest rates
quoted from Reuters).
iii. When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, the Group adopts
valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in the
valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the
market.
iv. The valuation of derivative financial instruments is based on valuation model widely
accepted by market participants, such as present value techniques and option pricing
models. Forward exchange contracts are usually valued based on the current forward
exchange rate. Structured interest derivative instruments are measured by using appropriate
option pricing models (i.e. Black-Scholes model) or other valuation methods, such as
Monte Carlo simulation.
v. The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not
be able to capture all relevant factors of the Group’s financial and non-financial instruments.
Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted accordingly with
additional inputs, for example, model risk or liquidity risk and etc. In accordance with the
Group’s management policies and relevant control procedures relating to the valuation
models used for fair value measurement, management believes adjustment to valuation is
necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value of financial and non-financial
instruments at the consolidated balance sheet. The inputs and pricing information used
during valuation are carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.
vi. The Group takes into account adjustments for credit risks to measure the fair value of
financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty and the
Group’s credit quality.
E. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there was no transfer between Level 1 and
Level 2.

J. The Group has carefully assessed the valuation models and assumptions used to measure fair value.
However, use of different valuation models or assumptions may result in difference measurement.
The following is the effect of profit or loss or of other comprehensive income from financial assets
categorised within Level 3 if the inputs used to valuation models have changed:
(4) The restricted account of the Group which was originally recorded as ‘financial assets at amortised
cost’ was the undrawn balance in the fund account remitted back for meeting ‘The Management,
Utilisation, and Taxation of Repatriated Offshore Funds Act’. The abovementioned undrawn
balance in the fund account was reclassified as ‘cash and cash equivalents’ according to the
regulation of IFRS Q&A amended by the competent authority on January 5, 2024. The account for
the prior period was also reclassified for comparison. The reclassification had no impact to the
earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the total assets and total liabilities on
December 31, 2022.

VI.Parent Company Only Financial Statements and Report of Independent Accountants
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Evergreen
Marine Corporation (Taiwan) Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022,
and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in
equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements,
including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to Other
Matter section of our report), the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Evergreen Marine Corporation (Taiwan) Ltd.
as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for
the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of
Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting
Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC
Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory
Commission .
~2~
357
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion.
The Company, its directly held subsidiaries, Peony Investment S.A. and Evergreen Marine
(Asia) Pte. Ltd., which are recognised in investments accounted for using equity method,
and its subsidiary, Evergreen Marine (Hong Kong) Ltd., which is directly and indirectly
held an 80% equity interest by the Company, primarily engages in global container
shipping service covering ocean-going and near-sea shipping line, shipping agency
business as well as container freight station business. Since ocean-going shipping often
lasts for several days, voyages are sometimes completed after the balance sheet date. Also,
demand for freight services is consistently sent by forwarders during voyage. Due to the
factors mentioned above, freight revenue is recognized under the percentage-of-
completion method for each vessel of which the service has been provided during the
reporting period.
~3~
358
Despite the Company and its investee companies conducting business worldwide, its
transactions are all in small amounts, whereas the freight rate is subject to fluctuation
caused by cargo loading rate as well as market competition. Worldwide shipping agencies
use a system to record the transactions by entering data including shipping departure,
destination, counterparty, transit time, shipping amounts, and freight price for the
Company. Therefore, the management could recognise freight revenue in accordance with
the data on bill of lading reports generated from the system, accompanied by estimations
made from past experience and current cargo loading conditions the revenue that would
flow in, and calculate the revenue under percentage-of-completion method. As the process
of recording transactions, communicating with agencies, maintaining the system are done
manually, and the estimation of freight revenue is subject to management’s judgement,
therefore freight revenue involves high uncertainty and is material to the financial
statements. Given the conditions as described above, we consider the accuracy of freight
revenue and the appropriate use of cut-off by the Company and its investee companies as
a key audit matter.
1. Obtained an understanding of the operation and industry of the Company and its
investee companies to assess the reasonableness of policies and procedures on revenue
recognition, and confirmed whether it is appropriate to the financial statements.
~4~
359
3. Obtained the estimated freight income report for vessels underway as of balance sheet
date, and inquired with management for the reasonableness of judgment. In addition,
checked historical freight revenue for total voyage under each individual vessel, along
with comparing with current cargo loading condition as well as actual revenue
received after period end to ensure the reasonableness of revenue assumptions.
4. Confirmed the completeness of vessels underway for the reporting period, including
tracking the movements of shipments on the internet to ensure the vessels that depart
before period end have been taken into consideration in the freight revenue calculation.
5. Verified accuracy of data used in calculating percentage of completion under each
voyage, including selecting samples and checking whether the total shipping days
shown on the Company’s website are in agreement with cruises timetable, considering
the number of days delayed in shipping routes due to port congestion as well as
recalculating the shipping days (days between departure and balance sheet date), in
order to examine the reasonableness of percentage applied.

In July 2023, the subsidiary, Evergreen Marine (Asia) Pte. Ltd. acquired a 100% equity
interest in Evergreen Marine (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. by cash amounting to NT$24,133,200
thousand, and the fair value of acquired identifiable net assets amounted to
NT$29,097,422 thousand and gain recognised in bargain purchase transaction generated
was NT$4,964,222 thousand. This business combination was a significant transaction
during the financial reporting period, the fair value of identifiable net assets were
estimated based on management’s assessment and price allocation reports prepared by the
independent expert appraisers appointed by the company mentioned above. Because the
assessment and measurement of the fair value are subject to material judgements and
accounting estimations, and are significant to the financial statements, therefore, we
identified purchase price allocation a key audit matter.
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
1. Assessed the competence and objectivity of the external appraiser engaged by the
management.
2. Reviewed the measurement of fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities, the
discount rate and the reasonableness of calculation of gain recognised in bargain
purchase transaction in the report of purchase price allocation issued by the external
appraiser by the auditors.
~6~
361
Other matter – Reference to the audits of other auditors
We did not audit the financial statements of all the investee companies accounted for using
equity method. Those statements were audited by other independent auditors whose
reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it
relates to the amounts included for those investee companies accounted for using equity
method and information disclosed in Note 13 relating to these long-term equity
investments, is based solely on the reports of the other independent auditors. Long-term
equity investments in these investee companies amounted to NT$ 48,200,819 thousand
and NT$ 53,183,389 thousand, constituting 9.43% and 8.13% of the total assets as of
December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and comprehensive income (loss) (including
share of profit or loss and share of other comprehensive income of associates and joint
ventures accounted for using equity method) was NT$ 6,608,737 thousand and NT$
7,365,951 thousand, constituting 19.10% and 2.09% of the total comprehensive income
(loss) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
~7~
362
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters
related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless
management either intends to liquidate the Company, or to cease operations, or has no
realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the
Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial
statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only
financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected
to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company
only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China,
we exercise professional judgement and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We
also:
~8~
363
1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit
procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement 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 are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty
exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the
related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,
to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up
to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause
the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only
financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements
represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of
the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the
financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and
performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
~9~
364
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any
significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied
with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with
them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those
matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial
statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these
matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about
the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should
not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The accompanying parent company only financial statements are not intended to present the financial
position and results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of China. The standards, procedures and
practices in the Republic of China governing the audit of such financial statements may differ from those
generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of China. Accordingly, the
accompanying parent company only financial statements and independent auditors’ report are not intended

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these parent company only financial
statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented,
unless otherwise stated.
(1) Compliance statement
These parent company only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
“Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”.
(2) Basis of preparation
A. Except for the following items, these parent company only financial statements have been prepared
under the historical cost convention:
~18~
373
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through
profit or loss.
(b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
(c) Defined benefit liabilities recognised based on the net amount of pension fund assets less
present value of defined benefit obligation.
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting
Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that
came into effect as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”) requires the
use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement
in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree
of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the parent
company only financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
(3) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the parent company only financial statements of Company are measured using the
currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional
currency”). The parent company only financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars,
which is the Company’s functional currency.
A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange
rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are
recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except when deferred in other
comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are re-
translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences
arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.
(c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value
through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet
date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive
income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their
translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, non-
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair
value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
(d) All other foreign exchange gains and losses based on the nature of those transactions are
presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.
B. Translation of foreign operations
(a) The operating results and financial position of all the company entities and associates that have
a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the
~19~
374
presentation currency as follows:
i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange
rate at the date of that balance sheet;
ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average
exchange rates of that period; and
iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
(b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is an associate, exchange differences
that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately reclassified to profit or
loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, even when the Company retains partial
interest in the former foreign associate after losing significant influence over the former
foreign associate, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these
foreign operations.
(c) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange
differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred
to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when the Company
retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign
subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign
operation.
(d) Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated
as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing exchange rates at the
balance sheet date.
(4) Classification of current and non-current items
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are
classified as non-current assets:
(a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be
sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
(b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
(c) Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
(d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to
be exchanged or used to settle liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they
are classified as non-current liabilities:
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle;
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
(c) Liabilities that are to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
(d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than
twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the
counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its
classification.

(5) Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known
amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits with
original maturities of three months or less that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose
of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
(6) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at
amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are
recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
C. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value and recognises the
transaction costs in profit or loss. The Company subsequently measures the financial assets at fair
value, and recognises the gain or loss in profit or loss.
D. The Company recognises the dividend income when the right to receive payment is established,
future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company and the amount
of the dividend can be measured reliably.
(7) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
A. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities
which are not held for trading, and for which the Company has made an irrevocable election at
initial recognition to recognise changes in fair value in other comprehensive income and debt
instruments which meet all of the following criteria:
(a) The objective of the Company’s business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash
flows and selling financial assets; and
(b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive
income are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
C. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction
costs. The Company subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value:
(a) The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognised in other comprehensive
income are reclassified to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss following
the derecognition of the investment. Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to
receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will
flow to the Company and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
(b) Except for the recognition of impairment loss, interest income and gain or loss on foreign
exchange which are recognised in profit or loss, the changes in fair value of debt instruments
are taken through other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognised, the
cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified
from equity to profit or loss.
~21~
376
(8) Financial assets at amortised cost
A. Financial assets at amortised cost are those that meet all of the following criteria:
(a) The objective of the Company’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash
flows.
(b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at amortised cost are recognised and
derecognised using trade date accounting.
C. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction
costs. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective
interest method. A gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or
impaired.
D. The Company’s time deposits which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short
maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is
immaterial.
(9) Notes, accounts and other receivables
A. Notes and accounts receivable entitle the Company a legal right to receive consideration in
exchange for transferred goods or rendered services. Receivables arising from transactions other
than the sale of goods or services are classified as other receivables.
B. The Company initially measures accounts and notes receivable at fair value and subsequently
recognises the amortised interest income over the period of circulation using the effective interest
method and the impairment loss. A gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.
(10) Impairment of financial assets
For debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial
assets at amortised cost including accounts receivable or contract assets that have a significant
financing component, at each reporting date, the Company recognises the impairment provision for
12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial
recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if
such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable
and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable or
contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Company recognises the
impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
(11) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognises a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:
A. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset expire.
B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred and
the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial
asset.
C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred;
however, the Company has not retained control of the financial asset.
~22~
377
(12) Leasing arrangements (lessor)-operating leases
Lease income from an operating lease (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognised in profit
or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(13) Inventories
Inventories refer to fuel inventories and steel inventories. Fuel inventories are physically measured
by the crew of each ship and reported back to the Head Office through telegraph for recording
purposes at balance sheet date. Valuation of inventories is based on the exchange rate prevailing at
balance sheet date.
(14) Investments accounted for using equity method / subsidiaries and associates
A. Subsidiary is an entity where the Company has the right to dominate its finance and operation
policies (includes special purpose entity), normally the Company owns more than 50 percent of
the voting rights directly or indirectly in that entity. Subsidiaries are accounted for under the
equity method in the Company's parent company only financial statements.
B. Unrealized gains or losses resulted from inter-company transactions with subsidiaries are
eliminated. Necessary adjustments are made to the accounting policies of subsidiaries, to be
consistent with the accounting policies of the Company.
C. After acquisition of subsidiaries, the Company recognizes proportionately for the share of profit
and loss and other comprehensive incomes in the income statement as part of the Company's
profit and loss and other comprehensive income, respectively. When the share of loss from a
subsidiary exceeds the carrying amount of Company's interests in that subsidiary, the Company
continues to recognize its shares in the subsidiary's loss proportionately.
D. Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are
accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount by which the non-
controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received shall be
recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the parent.
E. If the Company loses control of a subsidiary, the Company recognizes any investment retained
in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost and recognizes any
resulting difference as a gain or loss in profit or loss. The Company shall account for all amounts
recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as
would be required if the Company had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
Therefore, if a gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income would be
reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Company
reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss when it loses control of the subsidiary.
F. Associates are all entities over which the Company has significant influence but not control. In
general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or
indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are
accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost.
~23~
378
G. The Company’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit
or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised
in other comprehensive income. When the Company’s share of losses in an associate equals or
exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Company
does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred constructive obligations or made
payments on behalf of the associate.
H. When changes in an associate’s equity do not arise from profit or loss or other comprehensive
income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Company’s ownership percentage of
the associate, the Company recognises in ‘capital surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.
I. Unrealised gains or loss on transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated
to the extent of the Company’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated
unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting
policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies
adopted by the Company.
J. In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Company does not subscribe or acquire
new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Company’s ownership percentage
of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then ‘capital surplus’ and
‘investments accounted for under the equity method’ shall be adjusted for the increase or decrease
of its share of equity interest. If the above condition causes a decrease in the Company’s
ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the amounts
previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified
to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or
liabilities were disposed of.
K. Upon loss of significant influence over an associate, the Company remeasures any investment
retained in the former associate at its fair value. Any difference between fair value and carrying
amount is recognised in profit or loss.
L. When the Company disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over
this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to
the associate, are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the
relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it retains significant influence over this associate,
the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate
are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.
M. When the Company disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over
this associate, the amounts previously recognised as capital surplus in relation to the associate
are transferred to profit or loss. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the amounts
previously recognised as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or
loss proportionately.
~24~
379
N. According to “Regulations Governing the Preparations of Financial Statements by Securities
Issuers”, 'profit for the year' and 'other comprehensive income for the year' reported in an entity's
parent company only statement of comprehensive income, shall equal to 'profit for the year' and
'other comprehensive income' attributable to owners of the parent reported in that entity's
consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Total equity reported in an entity's parent
company only financial statements, shall equal to equity attributable to owners of parent reported
in that entity's consolidated financial statements.
(15) Property, plant and equipment
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the
construction period are capitalised.
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will
flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of
the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss
during the financial period in which they are incurred.
C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are
depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives.
Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation
to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.
D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if
appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful
lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic
benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a
change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and
Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment
are as follows:
Buildings (Including repairment) uipme 3 ~ 55 years
Loading and unloading equipment Transportation equipment ..5 ~ 20 years
The above docking repair, ballast water, lashing gears equipment and scrubbers are significant
components of ships.
~25~
380
(16) Leasing arrangements (lessee)ɡright-of-use assets/ lease liabilities
A. Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at
which the leased asset is available for use by the Company. For short-term leases or leases of
low-value assets, lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the
lease term.
B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the
commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate.
Lease payments are comprised of the following:
(a) Fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;
(b) Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate; and
(c) The exercise price of a purchase option, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that
option.
The Company subsequently measures the lease liability at amortised cost using the interest
method and recognises interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and
the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there
are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract
modifications.
C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the following:
(a) The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;
(b) Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date;
(c) Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and
(d) An estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying
asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition
required by the terms and conditions of the lease.
The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the
commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term.
When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an
adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
D. For lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the lessee shall decrease the carrying
amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognise
the difference between remeasured lease liability in profit or loss.
(17) Investment property
An investment property is stated initially at its cost and measured subsequently using the cost model.
Except for land, investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful
life of 50 ~ 55 years.
(18) Intangible assets
Computer software is stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful
life of 2-5 years.
~26~
381
(19) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where
there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by
which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the
higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons
for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the
impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than
what the depreciated or amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been
recognised.
(20) Borrowings
A. Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings and other long-term and short-
term loans. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred.
Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net
of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of
the borrowings using the effective interest method.
B. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to
the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the
fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable
that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for
liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
(21) Accounts payable
A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services.
B. The Company initially measures accounts payable at fair value and subsequently amortises the
interest expense in profit or loss over the period of circulation using the effective interest method.
(22) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
A. Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for
the purpose of repurchasing in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorised as financial
liabilities held for trading unless they are designated as hedges or financial liabilities at fair value
through profit or loss. Financial liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are designated
as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition:
(a) Hybrid (combined) contracts; or
(b) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or
(c) They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with
a documented risk management policy.
B. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial liabilities at fair value. All related
transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. The Company subsequently measures these
financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.
~27~
382
(23) Bonds payable
Ordinary corporate bonds issued by the Company are initially recognised at fair value less
transaction costs. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption
value is presented as an addition to or deduction from bonds payable, which is amortised to profit
or loss over the period of bond circulation using the effective interest method as an adjustment to
‘finance costs’.
(24) Convertible bonds payable (Compound financial instruments)
Convertible bonds issued by the Group contain conversion options (that is, the bondholders have
the right to convert the bonds into the Group’s common shares by exchanging a fixed amount of
cash for a fixed number of common shares), call options and put options. The Group classifies the
bonds payable upon issuance as a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in
accordance with the contract terms. They are accounted for as follows:
A. The embedded call options and put options are recognised initially at net fair value as ‘financial
assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’. They are subsequently
remeasured and stated at fair value on each balance sheet date; the gain or loss is recognised as
‘gain or loss on valuation of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss’.
B. The host contracts of bonds are initially recognised at fair value. Any difference between the
initial recognition and the redemption value is accounted for as the premium or discount on bonds
payable and subsequently is amortised in profit or loss as an adjustment to ‘finance costs’ over
the period of circulation using the effective interest method.
C. The embedded conversion options which meet the definition of an equity instrument are initially
recognised in ‘capital surplus—share options’ at the residual amount of total issue price less the
amount of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and bonds
payable as stated above. Conversion options are not subsequently remeasured.
D. Any transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance are allocated to each liability or equity
component in proportion to the initial carrying amount of each abovementioned item.
E. When bondholders exercise conversion options, the liability component of the bonds (including
bonds payable and ‘financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’)
shall be remeasured on the conversion date. The issuance cost of converted common shares is
the total book value of the abovementioned liability component and ‘capital surplus—share
options’.
(25) Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged
or cancelled or expires.
(26) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the balance sheet when
there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle
on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
~28~
383
(27) Hedge accounting
A. At the inception of the hedging relationship, there is formal designation and documentation of
the hedging relationship and the Company’s risk management objective and strategy for
undertaking the hedge. That documentation shall include identification of the hedging instrument,
the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the Company will assess whether
the hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements.
B. The Company designates the hedging relationship as follows:
Cash flow hedge:
A hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk
associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction.
C. Cash flow hedges
(a)The cash flow hedge reserve associated with the hedged item is adjusted to the lower of the
following (in absolute amounts):
i. the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument from inception of the hedge; and
ii. the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item from inception of the hedge.
(b)The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in other
comprehensive income. The gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the ineffective
portion is recognised in profit or loss.
(c)The amount that has been accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve in accordance with (a)
is accounted for as follows:
i. If a hedged forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial
asset or non-financial liability, or a hedged forecast transaction for a non-financial asset
or non-financial liability becomes a firm commitment for which fair value hedge
accounting is applied, the Company shall remove that amount from the cash flow hedge
reserve and include it directly in the initial cost or other carrying amount of the asset or
liability.
ii. For cash flow hedges other than those covered by item i. above, that amount shall be
reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve to profit or loss as a reclassification
adjustment in the same period or periods during which the hedged expected future cash
flows affect profit or loss.
iii. If that amount is a loss and the Company expects that all or a portion of that loss will not
be recovered in one or more future periods, it shall immediately reclassify the amount that
is not expected to be recovered into profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment.
(d) When the hedging instrument expires, or is sold, terminated, exercised or when the hedging
relationship ceases to meet the qualifying criteria, if the forecast transaction is still expected
to occur, the amount that has been accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve shall remain
in the cash flow hedge reserve until the forecast transaction occurs; if the forecast transaction
is no longer expected to occur, the amount shall be immediately reclassified from the cash
flow hedge reserve to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment.
~29~
384
(28) Employee benefits
A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected
to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as
expense in that period when the employees render service.
B. Pensions
(a) Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expense when
they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent
of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
(b) Defined benefit plans
i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount
of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the
Company in current period or prior periods. The liability recognised in the balance sheet
in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit
obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined
benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit
credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of high-
quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will
be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension
liability; when there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, the Company uses
interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.
ii. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive
income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.
iii. Past service costs are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
C. Termination benefits
Termination benefits are employee benefits provided in exchange for the termination of
employment as a result from either the Company’s decision to terminate an employee’s
employment before the normal retirement date, or an employee’s decision to accept an offer of
redundancy benefits in exchange for the termination of employment. The Company recognises
expense as it can no longer withdraw an offer of termination benefits or it recognises relating
restructuring costs, whichever is earlier. Benefits that are expected to be due more than 12
months after balance sheet date shall be discounted to their present value.
~30~
385
D. Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration
Employees’ compensation and directors’ remuneration are recognised as expense and liability,
provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those
amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the
subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee
compensation is paid by shares, the Company calculates the number of shares based on the
closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
(29) Income tax
A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or
loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or
items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive
income or equity.
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively
enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate
and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns
with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions
where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional
tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in
the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
C. Deferred income tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary
differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in
the parent company only balance sheet. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences
arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of
the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary
difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax
rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are
expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income
tax liability is settled.
D. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit
will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet
date, unrecognised and recognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed.
E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance
sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an
intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally
enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by
the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a
net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
~31~
386
F. A deferred tax asset shall be recognised for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from
acquisitions of equipment or technology, research and development expenditures and equity
investments to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which
the unused tax credits can be utilised.
(30) Dividends
Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are
resolved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities; stock dividends
are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the
effective date of new shares issuance.
(31) Revenue recognition
A. Sales of services
Revenue from delivering services is recognised under the percentage-of-completion method
when the outcome of services provided can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion of a
service contract is measured by the percentage of the number of days the vessel has sailed as of
the financial reporting date to the total number of days to sail. If the outcome of a service contract
cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue should be recognised only to the extent that
contract costs incurred are likely to be recoverable. The customer pays at the time specified in
the payment schedule. If the services rendered exceed the payment, a contract asset is recognised.
If the payments exceed the services rendered, a contract liability is recognised.
B. Rental revenue
The Company leases ships and shipping spaces under IFRS 16, ‘Leases’. Lease assets are
classified as finance leases or operating leases based on the transferred proportion of the risks
and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset, and recognised in revenue over the lease
term.
(32) Government grants
Government grants are recognised at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that
the Company will comply with any conditions attached to the grants and the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which
the Company recognises expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to
compensate.
~32~
387
(33) Business combinations
A. The Company uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The
consideration transferred for an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets transferred,
liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued at the acquisition date, plus the fair
value of any assets and liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. All
acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and
contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values
at the acquisition date. For each business combination, the Company measures at the acquisition
date components of non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests
and entitle their holders to the proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of
liquidation at either fair value or the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the
recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other non-controlling interests
should be measured at the acquisition-date fair value.
B. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the
acquiree and the fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of
the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill at the
acquisition date. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest in the acquiree
recognised and the fair value of previously held equity interest in the acquiree is less than the
fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, the difference is
recognised directly in profit or loss on the acquisition date.
(34) Operating segments
The Company’s operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting
provided to the Chief Operating Decision-Maker. The Chief Operating Decision-Maker is
responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION
UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these parent company only financial statements requires management to make critical
judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates
concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are
continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions
and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below:
~33~
388
(1) Critical judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policies
Lease term
In determining the lease term, the Company takes into consideration all facts and circumstances that
create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option or not to exercise a termination option,
including the expected changes of all fact and situation for the period from the commencement date
of lease to the execution date of options. Also, the Company took into consideration the main factors,
such as the contract terms and conditions during the option covered period and the importance to
lessee’s operation if the significant lease improvement and underlying assets incurred during the
contract terms. When significant events or significant changes occur within the Company’s control,
the lease term will be re-estimated.
(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
Revenue recognition
The Company and the subsidiaries, Peony Investment S.A., Evergreen Marine (Asia) Pte. Ltd. and
Evergreen Marine (Hong Long) Ltd., which are recognized in investments accounted for using equity
method, primarily engages in global container shipping service covering ocean-going and near-sea
shipping line. Despite the Company conducting business worldwide, its transactions are all in small
amounts, whereas the freight rate is subject to fluctuation caused by cargo loading rate as well as
market competition. Worldwide shipping agencies use a system to record the transactions by entering
data including shipping departure, destination, counterparty, transit time, shipping amounts, and
freight price for the Company. Therefore, management could recognize freight revenue in accordance
with the data on bill of lading reports generated from the system, accompanied by estimation made
from past experience and current cargo loading conditions the revenue that would flow in. Also,
demands for freight are consistently sent by forwarders during voyage. Due to the factors mentioned
above, freight revenue is recognized under the percentage-of-completion method for each vessel
during the reporting period. As the process of recording transactions, communicating with agencies,
and maintaining the system are done manually, and the estimation of freight revenue are subject to
management’s judgement. Given the conditions mentioned above, we consider the accuracy of freight
revenue and the appropriate use of cut-off by the Company and its investee companies as a key audit
matter.!

settled on August 14, 2023 and August 21, 2023 totalled 375,402 thousand shares and $13,046,838,
respectively, resulting in an aggregate gain of disposal of $6,260,209. After the disposal and due
to the conversion of EVA’s convertible bonds into stocks during the twelve-month period ended

is no agreement between other related parties and the Company to make decisions in consultation
or collectively; however, in order to maintain the equity balance between the Group and other
related parties, the Company governs EITC with other related parties to maintain mutual and other
shareholders’ best interests; apart from independent directors, the number of seats held by the

Company has no control, but only has significant influence, over the investee.

the other top ten large shareholders (including other related parties and non-related parties) hold
more shares than the Company, and there is no agreement between the shareholders to make

that the Company has no current ability to direct the relevant decisions of EGST, thus, the

balance is insufficient to pay the pension calculated by the aforementioned method to the
employees expected to qualify for retirement in the following year, the Company will make
contributions for the deficit by next March.

(d)The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of the Company’s defined benefit
pension plan in accordance with the Fund’s annual investment and utilisation plan and the
“Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilisation of the Labor Retirement
Fund” (Article 6: The scope of utilisation for the Fund includes deposit in domestic or foreign
financial institutions, investment in domestic or foreign listed, over-the-counter, or private
placement equity securities, investment in domestic or foreign real estate securitization
products, etc.). With regard to the utilisation of the Fund, its minimum earnings in the annual
distributions on the final financial statements shall be no less than the earnings attainable from
the amounts accrued from two-year time deposits with the interest rates offered by local banks.
If the earnings is less than aforementioned rates, government shall make payment for the deficit
after being authorized by the Regulator. The Company has no right to participate in managing
and operating that fund and hence the Company is unable to disclose the classification of plan
assets fair value in accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142. The composition of fair value of
plan assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund
Utilisation Report announced by the government.

(e)The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:
Year ended Year ended
December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022
Discount rate 1.20% 1.30%
Future salary increases 2.00% 2.00%
Assumptions regarding future mortality rate was estimated based on the 6th Taiwan Standard
Ordinary Experience Mortality Table.
Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit obligation
is affected. The analysis was as follows:
Discount rate Future salary increases
Increase 0.25% Decrease 0.25% Increase 0.25% Decrease 0.25%
December 31, 2023
Effect on present value of

December 31, 2022
Effect on present value of
defined benefit
obligation ($ 63,077) $ 65,324 $ 46,147 ($ 44,782)
The sensitivity analysis above is based on one assumption which changed while the other
conditions remain unchanged. In practice, more than one assumption may change all at once.
The method of analysing sensitivity and the method of calculating net pension liability in the
balance sheet are the same.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change
compared to the previous period.
(f)Expected contributions to the defined benefit pension plans of the Company for the year ending
December 31, 2024 amount to $159,797.
(g)As of December 31, 2023, the weighted average duration of the retirement plan is 9 years. The
analysis of timing of the future pension payment was as follows:
Within 1 year $ 201,045
1~2 years 157,746

B. Financial risk management policies
(a)The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign
exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s
overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and
seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial position and financial
performance.
(b)Risk management is carried out by the Company’s Finance Department under policies
approved by the Board of Directors. The Company’s Finance Department identifies, evaluates
and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Company’s Operating Department.
The Board of Directors provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as
written policies covering specific areas and matters, such as foreign exchange risk, interest
rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial
instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.
C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
(a) Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
i. The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from
various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the USD. Foreign exchange risk
arises from future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and net
investment in foreign operations.
ii. The Company’s management has set up a policy to require group companies to manage
their foreign exchange risk against their functional currency. The group companies are
required to hedge their entire foreign exchange risk exposure with the Company’s Finance
Department. To manage their foreign exchange risk arising from future commercial
transactions and recognised assets and liabilities, entities in the Company use forward
foreign exchange contracts, transacted with Company’s Finance Department. Foreign
~85~
439
exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognised assets or liabilities
are denominated in a foreign currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.
iii. The Company’s businesses involve some non-functional currency operations (the
Company’s functional currency: NTD). The information on assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies whose values would be materially affected by the
exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:

INR:NTD 1% 1,752 -
~87~
441
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
i. The Company’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at
variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset
by cash and cash equivalents held at variable rates. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose
the Company to fair value interest rate risk. During the years ended December 31, 2023
and 2022, the Company’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in the NTD and
USD.
ii. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, if interest rates on borrowings had been 1% higher/lower
with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the years ended December 31,
2023 and 2022 would have been $87,449 and $35,555 lower/higher, respectively, mainly
as a result of higher/lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings.
(b) Credit risk
i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Company arising from default by the
clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main
factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the
agreed terms.
ii. The Company manages their credit risk taking into consideration the entire group’s concern.
According to the Company’s credit policy, each local entity in the Company is responsible
for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their clients before standard payment
and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit
quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and
other factors.
iii. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with good credit rating
are accepted.
iv. The Company adopts following assumptions under IFRS 9 to assess whether there has been
a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition:
If the contract payments were past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a
significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.
v. The default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 30 days.
vi. The following indicators are used to determine whether the credit impairment of debt
instruments has occurred:
(i) It becomes probable that the issuer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation
due to their financial difficulties;
(ii) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial
difficulties;
(iii) Default or delinquency in interest or principal repayments;
(iv) Adverse changes in national or regional economic conditions that are expected to cause
a default.
~88~
442
vii. The Company classifies customer’s accounts receivable and contract assets in accordance
with geographic area. The Company applies the modified approach based on the loss rate
methodology to estimate expected credit loss.
viii. The Company wrote-off the financial assets, which cannot be reasonably expected to be
recovered, after initiating recourse procedures. However, the Company will continue
executing the recourse procedures to secure their rights. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022,
the Company has no written-off financial assets that are still under recourse procedures.
ix. The Company used the forecastability to adjust historical and timely information to assess
the default possibility of notes receivable, accounts receivable (including related parties),
contract assets and overdue receivables. On December 31, 2023 and 2022, the loss rate
methodology is as follows:

(3) Fair value estimation
A.The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of
financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the
entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market
in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and
volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the
Company’s investment in listed stocks, beneficiary certificates and derivative
instruments with quoted market prices is included in Level.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset
or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
B. Fair value information of investment property at cost is provided in Note 6(11).
C. Financial instruments not measured at fair value
(a) Except for those listed in the table below, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents,
notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, financial assets measured at
amortised cost, accounts payable and other payables are approximate to their fair values.

(b)The methods and assumptions the Company used to measure fair value are as follows:
i. The instruments the Company used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level
1) are listed below by characteristics:
Listed shares
Market quoted price Closing price
~93~
447
ii. Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial
instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty
quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can
be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in
substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated
by applying model using market information available at the parent company only balance
sheet date (i.e. yield curves on the Taipei Exchange, average commercial paper interest rates
quoted from Reuters).
iii. When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, the Company
adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in
the valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the
market.
iv. The valuation of derivative financial instruments is based on valuation model widely
accepted by market participants, such as present value techniques and option pricing models.
Forward exchange contracts are usually valued based on the current forward exchange rate.
Structured interest derivative instruments are measured by using appropriate option pricing
models (i.e. Black-Scholes model) or other valuation methods, such as Monte Carlo
simulation.
v. The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not
be able to capture all relevant factors of the Company’s financial and non-financial
instruments. Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted
accordingly with additional inputs, for example, model risk or liquidity risk and etc. In
accordance with the Company’s management policies and relevant control procedures
relating to the valuation models used for fair value measurement, management believes
adjustment to valuation is necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value of
financial and non-financial instruments at the parent company only balance sheet. The
inputs and pricing information used during valuation are carefully assessed and adjusted
based on current market conditions.
vi. The Company takes into account adjustments for credit risks to measure the fair value of
financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty and the
Company’s credit quality.
E. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there was no transfer between Level 1 and
Level 2.
~94~
448
F. The following chart is the movement of Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Review of Financial Conditions, Financial Performance, and Risk Management
Year Difference
2022 2023
Item Amount %
The main reasons for the major changes (those with a change of more than 20% and a change of
TWD 300 million) in the Company’s assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity in the last two years,
their impacts and future corresponding plans:
(1) The decrease in current assets was due to decrease in net cash and cash equivalents.
(2) The increase in non-current assets was due to the increase in property, plant and equipment and
other non-current assets.
(3) The decrease in current liabilities was due to the decrease in accounts payable and current income
tax liabilities.
(4) The decrease of retained earnings was due to the net income of the parent company and distribu-
tion of earnings.
492
II. Comparison of Financial Performance in the Last Two Years
Unit: TWD thousand
Year Difference
2022 2023
Item Amount %
The main reasons for the major changes in gross profit, net unrealized profit, operating expenses, the
net amount of other gains or losses, and non-operating income and expenses:
(1) Operating revenue decreased by 55.89% was mainly due to the freight rates declined.
(2) The decrease in unrealized sales benefits was due to the decrease of sales of Peony’s container
manufacturing companies on affiliated companies.
(3) The decrease in operating expenses was mainly due to salary and the employee benefits are lower
than the same time last year.
493
(4) The increase in other gains and loss was due to the increase of net gain on disposal of
property, plant and equipment.
(5) The increase in net non-operating income was mainly due to the increase of interest in-
come and net gain on disposal of investments accounted for using equity method.
Analysis of deviation:
A. Operating activities: The net cash outflow is due to net cash from operating activities
throughout the year and income tax payment.
B. Investing activities: The net cash outflow is due to the acquisition of the financial asset and
the purchase of the vessels, containers and equipment.
C. Financing activities: The net cash outflow from distribution of cash dividend.
Remedy Measures of Inadequate Liquidity: None.

indirect investees to seize market opportunities and increase profits. The profit of
investment accounted for using equity method is TWD 43,237,995 thousand in
Parent company only balance sheet of 2023.
496
At December 31, 2023, if interest rates on borrowings had been 1%
higher/lower with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the
year ended December 31, 2023 would have been TWD258,437 lower/
higher, respectively, mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expense on
floating rate borrowings.

financial liabilities due, the Company will be exposed to liquidity risk. The
corresponding countermeasures are to only use surplus funds as time
deposits of less than 3 months tenure to improve liquidity; prepare monthly
cash flow projections for the coming year to ensure that sufficient funds are
available to meet operational needs and to cover against maturing financial
liabilities; apply for credit line from financial institutions to cope with various
temporary conditions; and increase capital by subscriptions in cash or
issue convertible bonds to raise the required funds in the capital market
according to market conditions.
To avoid any service interruptions, data leakage, or other possible losses due
to errors in the human operation, failure of software and hardware, or external
cyber hacking attack on the information system, the Company has set up an
Information Security Management Committee, convened by the Chief Information
Security Officer of the Information Security Department. All related departments

the dynamic information of tropical disturbances on a daily basis for
extreme climates such as hurricanes and typhoons; and study the typhoon
formation probability and its future trends. Each typhoon is examined based
on three sections: transoceanic section, coastal section, and berth ships.
In the daily interdepartmental meeting, the Department will respond in
accordance with the sequential order of impact, in order to prevent typhoon
damage to fleet's vessels under the condition of navigating safety and
minimizing shipping delays as well as the fuel consumption cost.
