Supplier financing arrangements | The Group has entered into supplier financing arrangements with banks. Under these arrangements, the suppliers may elect to receive early payment from the banks by factoring their receivables due from the Group, and the Group then pays the banks at the original due dates set with suppliers. The above arrangements do not modify the terms of these payables because neither the Group’s payment terms have been extended nor additional interest have been paid; therefore, the Group still presents the payables as trade payables. As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, trade payables under supplier finance arrangements amounted to NT$1,056,486 thousand and NT$396,610 thousand (US$12,643 thousand), respectively. The carrying amount of the financial liabilities that are subject to supplier finance arrangements, of which suppliers have already received payment from the finance provider, are as follows:
