INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORTThe Board of Directors and Shareholders
China Airlines, Ltd.
OpinionWe have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of China Airlines, Ltd. (the“Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise theconsolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated statements ofcomprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes tothe consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies(collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, andits consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended inaccordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities
Issuers, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International AccountingStandards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued
into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestationof Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the 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. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained issufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. These
matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as awhole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on thesematters.

-2-

Key audit matter in the audit of the Group’s consolidated financial statements is stated below:
Recognition of Cargo Revenue
In accordance with IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, cargo sales are accounted
for as cargo revenue after relevant transportation services have been provided. For the year ended
December 31, 2022, cargo revenue amounted to NT$116,249,972 thousand. Refer to Notes 4 and
27 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for detailed information.
Cargo rates are highly affected by the supply and demand of the market and sales can only berecognized after relevant transportation services are provided. The input, processing andmaintenance of freight information on the airway bills involve manual operations. Therefore, we
identified the recognition of cargo revenue as a key audit matter.
Our main audit procedures performed included the following:1.

We understood the internal controls related to the recognition of cargo revenue, including
manual and automatic controls.

2.

We understood and tested the effectiveness of the information system related to the recognitionof cargo revenue.

3.

We sampled the airway bills, confirmed that cargo rates were consistent with those stated in
airway bills, and verified the accuracy of cargo revenue.

Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements of some subsidiaries which were included in the
consolidated financial statements. Such financial statements were audited by other independent
auditors, and our audit opinion is based solely on the reports of other auditors.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, total assets of these subsidiaries amounted to NT$14,4466,840
thousand and NT$13,453,308 thousand, representing 4.91% and 4.56% of the consolidated total
assets, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, revenue from thesesubsidiaries amounted to NT$824,496 thousand and NT$90,843 thousand, representing 0.55% and0.07% of the consolidated total revenue, respectively.
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of China Airlines, Ltd. as ofand for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, on which we have issued an unmodified
opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated
Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by
Securities Issuers, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International
Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC)
endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China,
and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of
consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.

-3-

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing theGroup’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 toliquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing theGroup’s financial reporting process.
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 toissue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level ofassurance, 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 theaggregate, 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’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 ofaccounting 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 tocontinue 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 consolidated financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
6.

Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of 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 groupaudit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

-4-

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, andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those mattersthat were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2022 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 reportbecause the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the
public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Kuan-Hao
Lee and Shiuh-Ran Cheng.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESStatement of Compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing
the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs as endorsed and issued into effect by
the FSC.
Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial
instruments which are measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at thepresent value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.
The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fairvalue measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value
measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:a. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;- 14 -

b. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an
asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); andc. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities
Current assets include:a. Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;b. Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; andc. Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability
for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Current liabilities include:a. Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;b. Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; andc. Liabilities for which the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12
months after the reporting period.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities
controlled by the Company. Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period
are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income from the effective dates ofacquisitions up to the effective dates of disposals, as appropriate. When necessary, adjustments are made to
the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those of the Group.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation. Total
comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to thenon-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control
over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the interests of theGroup and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in thesubsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and thefair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the ownersof the Company.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss and is calculated
as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and any
investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost and (ii) the
assets (including any goodwill) and liabilities and any non-controlling interests of the former subsidiary attheir carrying amounts at the date when control is lost. The Group accounts for all amounts recognized inother comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required had theGroup directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

- 15 -

Foreign Currencies
In preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Group, the transactions in currencies other than the
Company’s functional currency (i.e., foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailingat the dates of the transactions.
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at
the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement ortranslation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for exchange differenceson:a. Foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, which areincluded in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on thoseforeign currency borrowings; andb. Transactions entered into in order to hedge certain foreign currency risks.
Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated at
the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value is determined. Exchange differences arising from theretranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange
differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses arerecognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which case, the exchange differences are also
recognized directly in other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary item denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost is stated at thereporting currency as originally translated from the foreign currency.
For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s
foreign operations are translated into New Taiwan dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of eachreporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The
resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (attributed to theowners of the Company and non-controlling interests as appropriate).
On the disposal of a foreign operation, all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect ofthat operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.
Business Combinations
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred and the fair value of theacquirer’s previously held equity interests in the acquiree over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of theidentifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after re-assessment, the net of the acquisition dateamounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the considerationtransferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s
previously held interests in the acquiree, the excess is recognized immediately in profit or loss as a bargain
purchase gain.
When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held equity interest in an
acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date, and the resulting gain or loss is recognized in
profit or loss or other comprehensive income. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to theacquisition date that have previously been recognized in other comprehensive income are recognized on thesame basis as would be required had those interests been directly disposed of by the Group.

- 16 -

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period inwhich the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which theaccounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted retrospectively during the measurement
period, or additional assets or liabilities are recognized, to reflect new information obtained about facts andcircumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts
recognized as of that date.
Inventories
Inventories are primarily expendable and nonexpendable parts and materials, supplies used in operations
and items for in-flight sales and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The costs ofinventories sold or consumed are determined using the weighted-average method.
Non-current Assets Held for Sale
Non-current assets are classified as held-for-sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally
through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when
the sale is highly probable and the non-current asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition.
To meet the criteria for the sale being highly probable, the appropriate level of management must be
committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one
year from the date of classification.
Non-current assets classified as held-for-sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amountand fair value less costs to sell. Recognition of depreciation of those assets would cease.
Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor
an interest in a joint venture. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the Group and other parties
that have joint control of the arrangement and the rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
The Group uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates and joint ventures.
Under the equity method, investments in an associate and a joint venture are initially recognized at cost andadjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of theassociate and joint venture. The Group also recognizes the changes in the Group’s share of equity of
associates and joint venture attributable to the Group.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of net fair value of the identifiable assets andliabilities of an associate and a joint venture at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which isincluded within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the Group’s
share of net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment,is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
When the Group subscribes for additional new shares of an associate and a joint venture at a percentage
different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differsfrom the amount of the Group’s proportionate interest in the associate and joint venture. The Group records
such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited tocapital surplus - changes in capital surplus from investments in associates and joint ventures accounted forusing the equity method. If the Group’s ownership interest is reduced due to its additional subscription of
the new shares of the associate and joint venture, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously
recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate and joint venture is reclassified to
profit or loss on the same basis as would be required had the investee directly disposed of the related assets
or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus recognizedfrom investments accounted for using the equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained
earnings.
- 17 -

When the Group’s share of losses of an associate and a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in thatassociate and joint venture (which includes any carrying amount of the investment accounted for using theequity method and long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in theassociate and joint venture), the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further loss, if any. Additional
losses and liabilities are recognized only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal obligations, orconstructive obligations, or made payments on behalf of that associate and joint venture.
The entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset
by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized forms partof the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent
that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date on which its investment ceases to be an
associate and a joint venture. Any retained investment is measured at fair value at that date, and the fairvalue is regarded as the investment’s fair value on initial recognition as a financial asset. The difference
between the previous carrying amount of the associate and joint venture attributable to the retained interestand its fair value is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal of the associate and thejoint venture. The Group accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income inrelation to that associate and the joint venture on the same basis as would be required had that associate
directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If an investment in an associate becomes an investment
in a joint venture or an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an associate, the Group
continues to apply the equity method and does not remeasure the retained interest.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are tangible items that are held for use in the production or supply of goods
or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes and are expected to be used for more than
one period. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be recognized as an asset if, and only
if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group; and the costof the item can be measured reliably. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less recognizedaccumulated depreciation and recognized accumulated impairment loss.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately.
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of eachreporting period. The impact of any changes in accounting estimates is accounted for on a prospective basis
under IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”.
On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds
and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
Investment Properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation. Investment properties
also include land held for a currently undetermined future use.
Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initialrecognition, investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment loss.
Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method, which is the amount of cost less residual value
divided by the useful life of the investment property.

- 18 -

On derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and thecarrying amount of the asset is included in profit or loss.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost andsubsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss.
Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives, residual values, andamortization methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. The residual value of an intangible
asset with a finite useful life shall be assumed zero unless the Group expects to dispose of the intangible
asset before the end of its economic life. The impact of any changes in accounting estimates is accounted
for on a prospective basis under IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”.
Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible
assets, excluding goodwill, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an
impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order todetermine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of
an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which theasset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to the individual cash-generating units on a reasonable andconsistent basis; otherwise, corporate assets are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units on areasonable and consistent allocation basis.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for
impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in
use, the Group uses the estimated cash flows discounted by the future pre-tax discount rate, and thediscount rate reflects the current market time value of money and the specific risks to the asset for estimatedfuture cash flows not yet adjusting to the market.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount,the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit
is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amountthat would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating
unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are
directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (other thanfinancial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value of thefinancial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly
attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized
immediately in profit or loss.

- 19 -

a. Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade datebasis. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are buy or sell of financial assets in the
period set by regulation or market convention.
1) Measurement categories
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at FVTPL, financial
assets at amortized cost, and investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI.
a) Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when such a financial asset is mandatorily classified
or designated as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include
investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at FVTOCI.
Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, and any remeasurement
gains or losses on such financial assets are recognized in profit or loss. Fair value is determinedin the manner described in Note 31.
b) Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized
cost:
i. The financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial
assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; andii. The contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows thatare solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash
equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables and other financial assets, are measured atamortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest
method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amountof a financial asset.
Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date ofacquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the
purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
c) Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI
On initial recognition, the Group may make an irrevocable election to designate investments inequity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation as at FVTOCI is not permitted if an equity
investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in abusiness combination.
Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value withgains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income
and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit orloss on disposal of the equity investments; instead, they will be transferred to retained earnings.
- 20 -

Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when theGroup’s right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a
recovery of part of the cost of an investment.
2) Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortizedcost (including trade receivables), as well as contract assets.
The Group always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) for trade receivables and otherreceivables. For all other financial instruments, the Group recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has
been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit
risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Groupmeasures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.
Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a
default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECLs represents the expected credit losses that will result
from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast,
12-month ECLs represents the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default
events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
The impairment loss of all financial assets is recognized in profit or loss by a reduction in theircarrying amounts through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt instruments thatare measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive
income and the carrying amounts of such financial assets are not reduced.
3) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows fromthe asset expire or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards ofownership of the asset to another party.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying
amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss
which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss.
b. Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as equity in accordance with the substance of thecontractual arrangements and the definitions of an equity instrument.
Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue
costs.
The repurchase of the Group’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly fromequity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of theGroup’s own equity instruments.
c. Financial liabilities
1) Subsequent measurement
Except for derivative financial instruments, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized costusing the effective interest method.

- 21 -

2) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and theconsideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in
profit or loss.
d. Convertible bonds
The component parts of compound instruments (i.e., convertible bonds) issued by the Group areclassified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of thecontractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
On initial recognition, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market
interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments. This amount is recorded as a liability on anamortized cost basis using the effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion or the
instrument’s maturity date. Any embedded derivative liability is measured at fair value.
The conversion option classified as equity is determined by deducting the amount of the liability
component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognized and includedin equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured. In addition, the conversion
option classified as equity will remain in equity until the conversion option is exercised, in which case,the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to capital surplus - share premiums. When theconversion option remains unexercised at maturity, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred
to capital surplus - share premiums.
Transaction costs that relate to the issuance of the convertible notes are allocated to the liability andequity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to
the equity component are recognized directly in equity. Transaction costs relating to the liability
component are included in the carrying amount of the liability component.
e. Derivative financial instruments
The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest
rate, foreign exchange rate and fuel price risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts, interest
rate swaps, currency options, fuel options and swap.
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date on which the derivative contracts are enteredinto and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The
resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated andeffective as a hedging instrument, in which event, the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends
on the nature of the hedging relationship. When the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is
positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value of a derivative financial
instrument is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.
Hedge Accounting
The Group designates certain hedging instruments, which include derivatives and non-derivatives in respectof foreign currency risk, as cash flow hedges. When entering into hedging transactions, the Group has
prepared official documents that describe the hedging relationship between hedging instruments and items
which have been hedged, the objective of risk management, the hedging strategy, and the way to evaluate
the effectiveness of the hedging instrument.
The effective portion of gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges
is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion arerecognized immediately in profit or loss.

- 22 -

The associated gains or losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified fromequity to profit or loss as reclassification adjustments in the line items relating to the hedged item in thesame period in which the hedged item affects profit or loss. If a hedge of a forecasted transaction
subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the associatedgains and losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income are removed from equity andincluded in the initial cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability.
The Group discontinues hedge accounting only when the hedging relationship ceases to meet the qualifying
criteria; for instance, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised. The
cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been previously recognized in othercomprehensive income from the period (in which the hedge was effective) remains separately in equity
until the forecasted transaction occurs. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, thegains or losses accumulated in equity are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Provisions
The Group recognizes provisions when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive obligation)arising from past events, the payment for the obligation is probable, and the expenditure for settling theobligation can be reliably estimated.
The amount recognized as a provision is measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle
the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties
surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured at the estimate of using the cash flows to settle
the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. When the aircraft lease
contracts expire and the leased item will be returned to the lessor, the Group will assess if there are existingobligations exist and if a provision is required to be recognized when signing the lease contract.
Revenue Recognition
When applying IFRS 15 during 2018, the Group recognizes revenue by applying the following steps:






Identifying the contract with the customer;
Identifying the performance obligations in the contract;
Determine the transaction price;
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; andRecognize revenue when the Group satisfies a performance obligation.

Shipping service revenue
Passenger and cargo revenue are recognized as revenue when the passengers and goods are actually carried.
When the tickets are sold, due to the fact that the fulfillment of performance obligations of the shipment
have not been met, the relevant amount of revenue is initially recorded as contract liabilities until
passengers actually board.
Leasing
At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
The Group as lessee
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of alease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for applying a recognition
exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

- 23 -

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of leaseliabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct
costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets, and less any lease incentives
received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation andimpairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets arepresented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to theearlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms. However, if
leases transfer ownership of the underlying assets to the Group by the end of the lease terms or if the costsof right-of-use assets reflect that the Group will exercise a purchase option, the Group depreciates theright-of-use assets from the commencement dates to the end of the useful lives of the underlying assets.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise fixed
payments, in-substance fixed payments, variable lease payments which depend on an index or a rate,
residual value guarantees, the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to
exercise that option, and payments of penalties for terminating a lease if the lease term reflects suchtermination, less any lease incentives payable. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate
implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, thelessee’s incremental borrowing rate will be used.
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, withinterest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in a lease term, a change in theamounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, a change in the assessment of an option topurchase an underlying asset, or a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or arate used to determine those payments, the Group remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding
adjustment to the right-of-use-assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced
to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities arepresented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Group negotiates with the lessor for rent concessions as a direct consequence of Covid-19 to change
the lease payments originally due by June 30, 2022, which results in the revised consideration for the lease
substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change.
There is no substantive change to other terms and conditions. The Group elects to apply the practical
expedient to rent concessions for the abovementioned lease contracts, and therefore, does not assess
whether the rent concessions are lease modifications. Instead, the Group recognizes the reduction in lease
payment in profit or loss in the period in which the events or conditions that trigger the concession occurs
and makes a corresponding adjustment to the lease liability.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the periods
in which they are incurred.
For sale and leaseback transactions, if the transfer of an asset satisfies the requirements of IFRS 15 to beaccounted for as a sale, the Group recognizes only the amount of any gain or loss which relates to the rights
transferred to the buyer-lessor, and adjusts the off-market terms to measure the sale proceeds at fair value.
If the transfer does not satisfy the requirements of IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale, it is accounted for
as a financing transaction.
Employee Benefits
a. Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted
amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related services.

- 24 -

b. Retirement benefits
Payments to the defined contribution retirement benefit plan are recognized as expenses whenemployees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.
Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under defined retirement
benefit plan are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current
service cost and past service cost) and net interest on the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) arerecognized as employee benefits expense in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement,
comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized inother comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement recognized in othercomprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to
profit or loss.
Net defined benefit liabilities (assets) represent the actual deficit (surplus) in the Group’s defined
benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds
from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets areadded to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use
or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on
qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
Other than that which is stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period
in which they are incurred.
Government Grants
Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply withthe conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants related to income are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods
in which the Group recognizes as expenses the related costs that the grants intend to compensate.
Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the
purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognized in
profit or loss in the period in which they are received.
The benefit of a government loan received at a below-market rate of interest is treated as a government
grant measured as the difference between the proceeds received and the fair value of the loan based onprevailing market interest rates.
Frequent Flyer Programs
The Group has a “Dynasty Flyer Program” through which program members can convert accumulated
mileage to a cabin upgrade, free tickets and other member rewards and operates a “Tigerclub Member
Privilege Program” to provide members with accumulated ticket reward bonuses, which can be used tooffset the payments for airfare, luggage fees, priority check-ins, and ordering of meals in flight cabins. A
portion of passenger revenue attributable to the rewards for the frequent flyer program is deferred. The
Group should recognizes this deferred revenue as revenue only when the Group has fulfilled its obligations
on the granting of rewards or when the period for converting the mileage to rewards has expired.

- 25 -

Share-based Payment Arrangements
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments
at the grant date.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on astraight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instrument that will
eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in capital surplus - employee share options. The fair value
determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is recognized as an expense in fullat the grant date when the granted share options are vested immediately.
Income Tax
Income tax expense represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.
a. Current tax
The current tax liabilities are based on current taxable profit. Since part of the income and expenses aretaxable or deductible in other periods, or in accordance with the relevant tax laws are taxable ordeductible, current taxable profit differs from net profit reported in the consolidated statements ofcomprehensive income. The Group’s current tax liabilities are calculated by the tax rate was legislated
or substantially legislated at the balance sheet date.
According to the Income Tax Act in the R.O.C Income Tax Law, an additional tax of unappropriatedearnings is provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve the retain earnings.
Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.
b. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets andliabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax
liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are
generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences, unused loss carryforwards and unused tax
credits for purchases of machinery, equipment and technology, research and development expenditures,and personnel training expenditures to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available
against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in
subsidiaries and associates and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control thereversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in
the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associatedwith such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be
sufficient taxable profit against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are
expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all orpart of the assets to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at theend of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable
profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

- 26 -

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period inwhich the liabilities are settled or the assets are realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that havebeen enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred
tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which theGroup expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets
and liabilities.
c. Current and deferred taxes
Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that arerecognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferredtaxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Maintenance and Overhaul Costs
Routine maintenance costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
The overhaul costs of an owned or leased aircraft that meet the criteria for fixed asset capitalization are
capitalized as replacements for aircraft and engines and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the
expected annual overhaul cycle.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATIONUNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies as disclosed in Note 4, management is required tomake judgments, estimations and assumptions on the carrying amounts that are not readily apparent fromother sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and otherfactors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The Group considers the possible impact of the recent development of the COVID-19 and its economic
environment implications when making its critical accounting estimates on cash flows, growth rates,
discount rates, profitability, etc. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoingbasis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if
the revisions affect only that period or in the period of the revisions and future periods if the revisions affectboth current and future periods.
Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of thereporting period that have a significant risk causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Defined Benefit Obligations
The present value of defined benefit obligations at the end of the reporting period is calculated using
actuarial assumptions. Those assumptions, which are based on management’s judgments and estimates,
comprise the discount rate and expected return on plan assets. Changes in actuarial assumptions may have amaterial impact on the amount of defined benefit obligations.

- 27 -

Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment - Flight Equipment
Flight equipments are measured at cost less residual value and are depreciated on a straight-line basis overtheir estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives and residual values are evaluated based on the
Company’s historical experience and current usage condition in the aviation industry. Because of thechange in fleet planning, the Company's board of directors resolved to modify the estimated useful life offourteen B747-400F freighters from 25 years to 24 years and the estimated useful lives of three A330-300
aircraft from 20 years to 18 years, effective on January 1, 2022, in order to match the economic benefits
with the useful lives. It is estimated that the depreciation expense in 2022 will have increased by $720
million.

These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for medium- tolong-term strategic purposes and are expected to profit through long-term investments. Accordingly, themanagement elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as they believe thatrecognizing short-term fluctuations in these investments’ fair values in profit or loss would not be
consistent with the Group’s strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes.

The average credit period was 7 to 55 days. In determining the recoverability of an accounts receivable, theGroup considered any change in the credit quality of the receivable since the date credit was initiallygranted to the end of the reporting period, and any allowance for impairment loss was based on theestimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to the Group’s past default experience with thecounterparty and an analysis of the counterparty’s current financial position. The Group adopted a policy of
only dealing with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade or higher and obtaining
sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.
Credit rating information is obtained from independent rating agencies where available or, if not available,
the Group uses other publicly available financial information or its own trading records to rate its major
customers. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored andthe aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure
is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the risk management committee
annually.
The Group applies the simplified approach to allowing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9,which permits the use of lifetime expected loss allowance for all accounts receivable. The expected credit
losses on accounts receivable are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience
with the debtors and an analysis of the debtors’ current financial position, adjusted for general economic
conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as theforecasted direction of economic conditions at the reporting date. As the Group’s historical credit loss
experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the loss
allowance based on the past due status is not further distinguished according to the different segments of theGroup’s customer base.
The Group writes off accounts receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor isexperiencing severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. For accounts
receivable that have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt torecover the past due receivables. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Act, the Group is exposed to the following
risks:
1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities,bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the
mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated byplan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.
2) Interest risk: A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of thedefined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on theplan’s debt investments.
3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the
future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will
increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by
qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as
follows:
December 31

Discount rate
Expected rate of salary increase

2022

2021

1.20%-1.50%
1.00%-2.50%

0.60%-0.70%
1.00%-2.50%

If possible reasonable changes in each of the significant actuarial assumptions occur and all otherassumptions remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase(decrease) as follows:

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual changes in the present
value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that changes in assumptions will occur inisolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

In 2002, CAA terminated the leasing of six aircraft with the Company on a unilateral basis, which arosefrom a number of litigations between the Company and CAA. Because the aircraft leases were
terminated in advance, the property of aircraft leasing from a financial lease turns to operating lease.
The accounting basis is different between these which caused the situation of overpaid rental.
Therefore, in 2016, the Company sued CAA for an approximate amount of $1,200 million. The
Company lost the case in the first and second instances and won the part of the case after remanding in
the third instance.
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal and affirmed the conviction that CAA should pay back theprincipal amount with interest.
CAA paid the abovementioned payment in October 2022. The Company recognized the amount of $288
million as other income - other in 2022.

Lease liabilities and long-term borrowings are floating-rate financial liabilities, so their carrying
amounts are their fair values. Fair values of bonds payable trading in OTC are based on quoted market
prices (Level 1).
b. Fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initialrecognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value isobservable:
1) Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities;2) Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included
within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) orindirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and- 61 -

3) Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs forthe asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

4) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 2 fair value measurement
Financial Instrument
Derivatives

Valuation Techniques and Inputs
The fair values of derivatives (except for options) have been
determined based on discounted cash flow analysis using
interest yield curves applicable for the duration of thederivatives. The estimates and assumptions that the Group used
to determine the fair values are identical to those used in thepricing of financial instruments for market participants.

5) Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 3 fair value measurement
The fair values of currency options and fuel options are determined using option pricing models
where the significant unobservable inputs are implied fluctuation. Changes in the implied
fluctuations used in isolation would result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of the currency
options and fuel options and swap.
- 62 -

The domestic and foreign unlisted equity investment are based on the comparative company
valuation to estimate the fair value. The main assumptions are based on the multiplier of the market
price of the comparable listed company and the net value per share, which have considered theliquidity discount. The higher the multiplier or the lower the liquidity discount, the higher the fairvalue of the relevant financial instruments.
The multiplier and liquidity discount of financial instruments based on Level 3 fair value
measurement were as follows:

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group has risk management and hedging strategies to respond to changes in the economic andfinancial environment and in the fuel market. To reduce the financial risks from changes in interest,
exchange rates and in fuel prices, the Group has its operating costs stay within a specified range byusing appropriate financial hedging instruments and hedging percentages in accordance with the“Processing Program of Derivative Financial Instrument Transactions” approved by the Group’s
shareholders to reduce the impact of market price changes on earnings. These risks include market risk(including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
In addition, the Group has a risk committee, which meets periodically to evaluate the performance of
derivative instruments and determine the appropriate hedging percentage. This committee informs theGroup of global economic and financial conditions, controls the entire financial risk resulting fromchanges in the financial environment and fuel prices, and develops the strategy and response to avoid
financial risk with the assistance of financial risk experts to effect risk management.
1) Market risk
The Group is primarily exposed to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates
and interest rates. The Group entered into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure toforeign currency risk and interest rate risk. The Group enters into foreign exchange forward
contracts, foreign currency option contracts, and interest swap contracts with fair values that arehighly negatively correlated to the fair values of hedged items and evaluates the hedging
effectiveness of these instruments periodically.
a) Foreign currency risk
The Group enters into foreign currency option contracts to hedge against the risks on change in
related exchange rates, enters into forward contracts to hedge against the risks on changes inforeign-currency assets, liabilities and commitments in the related exchange rates.
Sensitivity analysis
The Group was mainly exposed to the U.S. dollar.
An increase/decrease in U.S. dollars one dollar against New Taiwan dollars when reporting
foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel represents management’s
assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis
included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items, and adjusts theirtranslation at the end of the reporting period for U.S. dollars increase/decrease by one dollar
against New Taiwan dollars in foreign currency rates.
When New Taiwan dollars increased by one dollar against U.S. dollars and all other variables
were held constant, there would be a decrease in pre-tax profit and an increase in othercomprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2022 of $113,514 thousand and$1,126,710 thousand, respectively; and an decrease in pre-tax profit and an increase in othercomprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2021 of $187,869 thousand and$1,173,733 thousand, respectively.

- 64 -

The Group’s hedging strategy is to enter into foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign
currency option contracts to avoid exchange rate exposure of its foreign currency denominatedreceipts and payments and to manage exchange rate exposure of its aircraft prepayments in thenext year. Those transactions are designated as cash flow hedges. When forecasted purchases
actually take place, basis adjustments are made to the initial carrying amounts of hedged items.
For the hedges of highly probable aircraft prepayments, as the critical terms (i.e., the notionalamount, useful life and underlying asset) of the foreign currency options contracts and foreignexchange forward contracts and their corresponding hedged items are the same, the Group
performs a qualitative assessment of the effectiveness, and it is expected that the value of theforeign exchange forward contracts and the value of the corresponding hedged items will
systematically change in the opposite direction in response to movements in the underlying
exchange rates.
The following table summarizes the information relating to the hedging of foreign currency risk.

b) Interest rate risk
The Group enters into interest swap contracts to hedge against the risks on change in interest
rates of long-term borrowings. The Group was exposed to interest rate risk because entities in
the Group borrowed funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by theGroup by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings, and using
interest rate swap contracts.
The carrying amount of the Group’s financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the endof the reporting period were as follows.

Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below were determined based on the Group’s exposure to interest rates
for both derivatives and non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For
floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the liability
outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A one yard
(25 basis points) increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key
management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible
change in interest rates.
Had interest rates increased by one yard (25 basis points) and all other variables been held
constant, the Group’s pre-tax profit for the year ended December 31, 2022 would havedecreased by $224,529 thousand.
Had interest rates increased by one yard (25 basis points) and had all other variables been held
constant, the Group’s pre-tax profit for the year ended December 31, 2021 would havedecreased by $263,156 thousand.

2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting
in a financial loss to the Group. The Group’s credit risk primarily comes from accounts receivable
generated from operating activities and bank deposits generated from investing activities, fixedincome investments and other financial instruments, operation related credit risk and financial credit
risk are managed separately.

- 68 -

Operation - related credit risk
The Group has established procedures to manage operations related credit risk to maintain thequality of accounts receivable.
To assess the risk of individual customers, the Group consider into the financial condition of thecustomers, the credit rating agency rating, the Group’s internal credit rating, transaction history andcurrent economic conditions and many other factors that may affect the repayment. Sometimes, theGroup uses certain credit enhancement tools to reduce the credit risk of specific customers.
Since the customers of the aviation industry are dispersed and non-related, the credit risk
concentration is not critical.
Financial credit risk
Credit risk on bank deposits, fixed income investments and other financial instruments aremeasured and monitor by the Group’s finance department. The Group’s trading partners and otherparties are well-performing banks and financial institutions, corporations, and government agencies,
and so the risk of counterparties failing to discharge an obligation is low; therefore, there is no
significant credit risk.
3) Liquidity risk
The objective of the Group’s management of liquidity is to maintain cash and cash equivalents
sufficient for operating purposes, marketable securities with high liquidity and loan commitmentsthat are sufficient to ensure that the Group has adequate financial flexibility.

liabilities with agreed-upon repayment periods, which were based on the date the Group may berequired to pay the first repayment and financial liabilities is evaluated based on undiscounted cash
flows, including cash flows of interest and principal.
Bank loans with a repayment on demand clause were included in the second column of the tablebelow regardless of whether or not the banks would choose to exercise early their rights to
repayment. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on theagreed-upon repayment dates. The Group’s liquidity analysis for its derivative financial instruments
is also shown in the following table. The table was based on the undiscounted contractual net cash
inflows and outflows on derivative instruments that settle on a net basis, and the undiscounted grosscash inflows and outflows on those derivatives that require gross settlement. When the amountpayable or receivable is not fixed, the amount disclosed has been determined by reference to theprojected interest rates as illustrated by yield curves at the end of the reporting period.
