spk02: As the demand for end-of-the-line products is not correct and is affected by customer standardization, we expect that the third quarter of the business will be the peak of this year. Therefore, the business performance of the fourth quarter will be relatively conservative. However, overall, the sales in the second half of the year are still better than in the first half of the year. In this large environment, the strategy will be to prioritize the improvement of the driving force. From the perspective of individual products, in terms of the sales power of the second-generation products, it is affected by the weak need to adjust the customer inventory, which means that there will be minor corrections in the fourth quarter, The power of low-range products remains the same. Flash products and NetFlash products are affected by the lack of demand for consumer products, and the power has been slightly adjusted. The power of low-flash products has been adjusted due to the relationship of customer seasonal adjustment. In terms of drive IC, because of the lack of demand for TV, and the impact of customer back-up adjustment on mobile phones, the power of D4G There will be a certain level of repair in the future. In addition, there is a demand for the car panel. Customers are also in different levels of repair due to the situation of the market and storage. Therefore, the capacity of the product to move ICs in the fourth quarter is greater than that of the first quarter. In addition, in addition to continuing to promote its own priority, The simplified project is also conducting a low-cost silver-chlorinated gold-plated verification with customers. Currently, the reliability test of the medium-sized panel has been carried out continuously. The domestic and foreign customers are very interested in this project. There are already some customers who have continued to be interested in the product. In the future, it can enhance our competitive advantage in automating ICs and maintain the growth momentum of subsequent operations. Therefore, our long-term operations It's still very optimistic. That's the end of the fourth season.
spk03: The next issue of the fourth season of the fourth season of the fourth season of the fourth season of the fourth season of the fourth season of the fourth season of the fourth season of the fourth season of the fourth season of the fourth season of the fourth season If you need to cancel the question, please press the rice button and number 5. Thank you. If you need to ask a question, please press the rice button and number 1 on the phone. Thank you.
spk01: Hello everyone, my name is Ren-Ching. I would like to ask you about the earnings call that we had before. We know that CapEx will increase to 20% this year. We still have this prediction. If it is rollover to 2025, we also estimate that CapEx 3 sales to be 20% What numbers can you give us as reference?
spk00: Thank you. Regarding the CapEx in 2024, we estimate that it will be between 20% to 25% in 2024. I think we will try to control it above and below 20%. This is the range between 20% to 25% in 2024. As for 2025, it's still early. I think in 2025, we will try to control the capital as much as possible. I think it will be lower than 20%. I think if we can, between 15% and 20%, I think this is a profit. Thank you, Chair.
spk01: Another thing I want to mention about CapEx is that in the second half of the year, we had an increase of about 3% to 4%. What do we think about next year and the whole year? Because this year's CapEx rate is relatively higher, so next year we also estimate that the initial depreciation will be 3% to 4%.
spk00: I think in the third quarter of this year, there are about 1.2 billion people. We estimate that because this year's CapEx is still a certain degree of CapEx, so we estimate that this year's fourth quarter or next year's first quarter, I actually want to grow by 3% to 4%, there may still be this opportunity. If CapEx can be controlled between 15% to 20% as we just talked about next year, the increase in the cost of saving tax should be a little bit lower.
spk01: I understand. Thank you. I'm sorry, I want to ask about this, although it's only been a little bit since 2005, but there are several questions I want to ask. The first one is, because at the same time, we have seen that in China, there are some companies like Hubei Electronics, Huicheng, or to make some Oleds or other test machines. It's also quite a process. Next year or in the middle of the year, how will the company use what kind of technology to operate these medium-sized companies in a low-cost competitive situation? I will answer your question. Our company is promoting a product called
spk02: Galaxy's突kai Galaxy's突kai is to replace the used materials From the current point of view, many customers Because the price of gold is rising very quickly Many customers have already designed it Relatively speaking, it can greatly reduce this cost Of course, it is also the company's patent So in this regard, it can maintain a better advantage Another one is the optimization of the product At the same time, we are also looking for other applications that do not support IC, such as DDR5, RDL, or Power Management to replace these drives. I understand.
spk01: Thank you very much, Mr. Chieh. I would like to ask, because we just discussed the driver IC, the momentum is relatively We've also seen some large-sized
spk02: In terms of TV, there are some expectations. In addition, in terms of storage, the expectations are almost the same. So at present, I think the worst situation is probably the current situation.
spk01: I understand. Then I would like to ask about We now see that some of the new IT designers who have just been listed in Taiwan, some of their competitors are quite active in OLED or other product lines. Including them, or like the mid-term entrepreneurs, in the future, how will we use to get their orders delivered.
spk02: In this regard, in general, we and the new business owners, I think what you just mentioned is the company that just launched the description meeting. We have been cooperating with iQIYI since 2009. Then in 2019, because of the increase in TDIQ, So for now, we are the top five in terms of business. In terms of OREC, they are also very active. We are a partner in this field. So we have a certain location here. In addition, I just mentioned that we are in the field of silver and copper, and we are cooperating with them in this field. In terms of the performance, we will have a higher coverage.
spk01: Thank you, Chairman. Chairman, I'm sorry to ask this question. The question is about the future. The future, because at present, I see that most of these large factories, these automobiles, are also in a state of decline. Do you think that next year, in this first round, with NAND here, do you think that the recovery situation is relatively better? Which piece of this, its recovery situation in 2025, or in the near future?
spk02: In terms of memory, I think no matter what the situation is, the amount is definitely there. But in terms of consumer electronics, I think the price pressure is the same for everyone. In addition, you just talked about the new growth service, which is DDR5 and low power DDR4. We are currently more concerned about this one. In this regard, we are cooperating with some cards outside the country. In addition, Thank you, Chairman. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
spk03: If you have any questions, please press the button on the phone to enter your name and number. Thank you. Now it's time to ask questions. If you need to ask a question, please click on the button on the phone to enter the number 1. Thank you. At present, no one has asked a question online. We will hand over the time to Dr. Shen Gengxin. Dr. Shen, please. Thank you.
spk04: There is a question from a foreign speaker, Dr. Shen Jingyong. I will read it later. What he asked here is, will there be a chance to increase the acquisition rate of R&D technology next year?
spk02: This question is for Director Huang to answer.
spk00: Regarding the ratio, I think, generally speaking, of course, considering the ratio of the ratio, everyone will consider the operating capital of the company every year. In addition to operating capital and capital expenditure, of course, we also have to take care of the general interest. We have said in the past that the ratio principle or direction is about 40% to 60%. This is probably a direction of the company. Thank you, Chairman. Thank you for your participation. Today's meeting is over. You can leave now.
spk04: Thank you. Goodbye.
spk00: Thank you.
