Letter to Shareholders 1.1 TCFHC Group’s Performance in 2017 1.1.1 Domestic and Overseas Financial Environments The global economy experienced synchronized growth in 2017 mainly due to the steady recovery of the U.S. economy which has been brought about by Trump’s G.O.P. tax plan and the increase of interest rates by the Federal Reserve, China’s potential economic growth of 6.5 percent or higher, and steady increases in international raw material prices over the past few years. In January 2018, International Monetary Fund (IMF) reported that the 2017 global growth rate 1. Letter to reached 3.7 percent, which was a 0.5-percentage point upward revision. IMF further projected that the global outlook will be upbeat, and GDP will reach a new high of 3.9 percent over nearly seven years although markets Shareholders face many uncertainties, including the global growth merely reflects the remained strength to expectations for U.S. tax reform, the China’s massive debt risk that has been brought about by over-reliance on credit loans, and a slower-than-expected Japanese recovery with quantitative easing policies under synchronized global growth. Under these uncertainties, it remains to be seen how long the growth will continue even if the upward trend in GDP has been reported. In 2017, Taiwan’s economy grew beyond expectations. Output growth was driven by increase in global demand, and domestic consumer’s expenditure was raised by stock trading volume increases. According to the latest estimate released by the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting, and Statistics of Executive Yuan, R.O.C. in February 2018, the 2017 economy grew at an annual rate of 2.86 percent in 2017, marking a growth of 1.36 percent from 1.50 percent in 2016. In spite of the solid domestic economic growth in 2017 and the global synchronized expansion, Taiwan’s economic growth for 2018 is expected to maintain a cautious outlook going forward due to factors, such as the associated impact of recent protectionist U.S. trade policy, the crowding-out effect of China’s industrial restructuring, and Taiwan’s geopolitical risk related to its relationship with China with periodic tensions. Major foreign and domestic financial institutions have projected Taiwan’s economic growth rate to decrease between 2.27 percent and 2.43 percent for the year 2018. Chairman Chung-Dar Lei 3 4 Letter to Shareholders 1.1.2 TCFHC Organization Reform At December 31, 2017, TCFHC Group consisted of seven primary business segments; namely, Taiwan Cooperative Bank, Ltd., Taiwan Cooperative Securities Co., Ltd., Taiwan Cooperative Bills Finance Corporation Ltd., Co-operative Assets Management Co., Ltd., Taiwan Cooperative Securities Investment Trust Co., Ltd., BNP Paribas Cardif TCB Life Insurance Co., Ltd., and Taiwan Cooperative Venture Capital Co., Ltd. 1.1.3 Operating Plans and Accomplishments Summary Despite the heated competition in the financial markets, we continued to strength and soared to a new height in profitability with the support of our shareholders. In 2017, our consolidated net income grew by 4.05 percent to reach NT$14.712 billion, which was NT$0.573 billion more than the NT$14.139 billion in 2016. Post-tax earnings per share reached NT$1.17, and the returns on both equity and assets were 7.28 percent and 0.44 percent, respectively. We continued to strength despite a global lackluster outturn in 2016. The ranking of our earnings-per-share has been steadily increased from the 10th place in 2014 to the 8th place in 2017. The TCFHC Group will keep pursuing growth and excellence based on continuous improvements. In 2017, we achieved the following accomplishments: Profitability a. Our profitable bank subsidiary continued to improve its deposit structure and lower capital expenditure. Given consideration of providing good quality and quantity of banking services, it increased undertakings in both SME financing and loans to the pillar industries identified in the 5+2 Major Innovative Industries policy. Our bank also sought to increase its corporate lending market shares by making an effort to maintain corporate financing customers’ continuity and providing incentive measures. Moreover, our bank actively expanded overseas units and operations in order to increase its overseas share of revenue. In 2017, our bank and its sub-subsidiaries’ operations generated NT$12.524 billion in net profit, growing by 2.99 percent with an increase of NT$0.375 billion from NT$12.899 billion in the previous year. b. Stable business growth was seen in our life insurance, bills finance, and securities investment trust subsidiaries, as they posted annual after-tax net incomes of NT$780 million, NT$552 million and NT$22 million, respectively. These figures represented an increase of over 5 percent from prior year. Both our securities and venture capital subsidiaries also increased their profits from engaging in proprietary trading activities and raised their long-term investment performances. Their after-tax net incomes reached NT$321 million and NT$26 million, respectively. Net incomes increased more than 70 percent when compared to 2016. Although the reduction of non-performing assets (loans) in other banks lowered the after-tax net income of our assets management subsidiary to NT$337 million, all of our seven subsidiaries have maintained profitable for over two years in a raw. Capital Allocation a. For the medium- to long-term development of the Group and to enhance the capability of expanding into new territories, we (TCFHC) transferred a private placement of cash assets for about NT$5.0 billion to our bank in the second quarter of 2017.

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 Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our reviews. Scope of Review Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards No. 65 “Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit.

  • Chinese Ceos: Are Their Managing Philosophy and Practices Influenced by the Western Managerial Principles?
    Asian Journal of Business Research ISSN 1178-8933 Volume 5 Issue 1 2015 DOI 10.14707/ajbr.150009 Chinese CEOs: Are Their Managing Philosophy and Practices Influenced by the Western Managerial Principles? Yu-Feng L. Lee New Mexico State University Abstract Globalism and the rapid growth of greater China, namely mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, have made it a popular destination for international trade and business which attracts many global managerial talents to work in the region. Based on the Confucian criteria – „Wu Yu‟, namely morality/virtue, wisdom/intellectual, physical ability/sportsmanship, collectivism/cooperation, and aesthetics/elegance, this study discloses the managerial philosophy and tactics of 50 Chinese corporate executive officers (CEOs), who had overseas professional and/or academic experience, in hopes of offering academic and business practitioners around the world a better and more practical understanding as to what philosophical structure Chinese and East Asian businesses are operated under, and how the Western managerial principles instituted on the Hofstede cultural assessment have played a role in the practices of Chinese corporate management. Keywords: Confucian „Wu Yu‟, Chinese corporate management, Hofstede-Western managerial influence Introduction Thanks to the increasing trend of globalization, more and more corporations internationalize themselves through either ethnocentric staffing where home (headquarter) managers are sent to manage the operations overseas, or through polycentric staffing where the company works with its host (foreign) affiliates that hire local talent to serve their local markets. In the process of international staffing, given that „cultural distance‟ can often be a managerial challenge to corporate leaders, effective cross-cultural human resource management (HRM) becomes their foremost and critical task for corporate success.

    Trends in Overseas Direct Investment by Chinese Companies in 2013 January 2015 China and North Asia Division Overseas Research Department Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) Exclusion of liability clause Responsibility for decisions made based on the information provided in this report shall rest solely on readers. Though JETRO strives to provide accurate information, JETRO will not be responsible for any loss or damage incurred by readers through the use of the information. Unauthorized reproduction prohibited Introduction There is a trend among Chinese companies toward direct foreign investment (FDI) that is becoming more active each year. China’s 2013 FDI (net, flow) announced in September 2014 set a new record, at USD107, 843.71 million, a 22.8% increase year-on-year. By region, Chinese FDI in Asia and Central and South America drove the increase, while FDI in Europe declined. By industry, mining and finance stood out as contributing to the increase, while manufacturing made a negative contribution. In light of these circumstances, this report presents multifaceted verification of the situation in regions of China with regard to Chinese FDI and the situation in the countries and regions that receive FDI, and it describes the current state of overseas development by Chinese companies, which are expanding around the world. This report appeared in JETRO Daily in November and December 2014, and it is based on the data available at the time of writing (September-October 2014).It is hoped that this report will serve as a reference in various quarters, including at Japanese companies.
