Taipei, Feb 21st, 2023<\/strong> \u2013 PChome Online announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended Dec 31st, 2022 today. We provided consolidated financial statements and standalone financial statements as follows.

Corporate Actions:<\/strong>
\u25cf The Board of Directors has resolved to conduct a rights offering, with the issuance of 8 million to 16 million common shares to repay bank loans or increase working capital.
\u25cf The Board of Directors has approved a reorganization plan for marketplace BU to better integrate resources between Ruten and PCStore and drive operational efficiency of both C2C and B2B2C platforms. The reorganization plan includes a capital restructuring and the equity transaction of PCStore. Following the reorganization, PCStore will become wholly owned by Ruten, a 65% subsidiary of PChome.<\/p>\n

Full Year 2022 Consolidated Financial Highlights:<\/strong>
\u25cf The consolidated revenue was NT$46,100 million (-5.1% YoY). B2C BU sales amounted to NT$42,896 million (-7.0% YoY), Marketplace BU sales were NT$1,376 million (-16.7% YoY), Fintech BU sales were NT$1,332 million (+127.8% YoY), and Other BU sales were NT$496 million (+122.3% YoY).<\/p>\n

\u25cf Fintech BU reported a consolidated pretax income of NT$231 million in 2022, compared to a consolidated pretax loss of NT$272 million in 2021, and achieved its first-even profitability because of the focused efforts on integration, restructuring, and strategic acquisitions.

\u25cf The tax expense was NT$213 million in 2022, including NT$84 million of one-time capital gain tax and income tax of NT$130mn from Fintech BU and Other BU.
