Note (1):

As the Company’s ordinary shares have been quoted on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “HIMX” in the form of ADSs and two ordinary shares represent one ADS with effect from August 10, 2009. The number of ADS equivalent outstanding is determined by dividing the number of ordinary shares by two. Therefore, the weighted average number of ADS equivalent outstanding used in basic earnings per ADS for 2023, 2024 and 2025 is 174,495 thousand, 174,796 thousand and 174,517 thousand, respectively. Additionally, the weighted average number of ADS equivalent outstanding used in diluted earnings per ADS for 2023, 2024 and 2025 is 174,783 thousand, 175,014 thousand and 174,593 thousand, respectively. The earnings per ADS is presented solely for the convenience of the reader and does not represent a measure under IFRS.
