AUO continued to implement the value-added and product differentiation strategies, and have achieved the astonishing results of
five consecutive years of profitability. Looking ahead, on the basis of solid financial performances, the Company will continue
to make optimal investment in high-quality capacity, to accelerate value-transformation, and to reinforce the ability of technology
innovation. These strategies will help the Company maintain stable profitability in the long-term, and become the lead player
in the industry.
