MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Exposure to Fluctuations in Exchange Rates

We have transactional currency exposures, arising primarily from sales or purchases by our significant subsidiariesoperating in Mainland China in US$ rather than the subsidiary’s functional currency, which is RMB. During the sixmonths ended 30 June 2023, approximately 23% of our sales were denominated in currencies other than the functionalcurrency of the subsidiary making the sale, whilst 62% of costs of sales were denominated in the subsidiary’sfunctional currency.In addition, we have currency exposures from interest-bearing bank borrowings, held by our subsidiary operating inMainland China. As at 30 June 2023, interest-bearing bank borrowings with a carrying amount of US$1,653 millionwere denominated in US$, instead of the subsidiary’s functional currency, which is RMB.As at 30 June 2023, if the US dollar had strengthened or weakened against the RMB by 5%, with all other variablesheld constant, our profit before tax for the period would have been approximately US$57 million lower or higher.For the six months ended 30 June 2023, the Group had not entered into any arrangement to hedge the aforementionedforeign currency risks. Nevertheless, the Company’s management will continue to monitor the foreign exchangeexposure position and will consider appropriate measures should the need arise.Contingent Liabilities

As at 30 June 2023, the Group did not have any contingent liabilities.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Business ReviewIn the first half of 2023, the global and regional economy recovered slowly, the consumer market remained sluggish,and the foundry industry faced greater challenges. Nevertheless, HHGrace has maintained stable results. The solidrevenue performance can be attributable to the Company’s optimized product portfolio, the long-term support from ourcustomers, and the unremitting efforts of all employees. In the first half of 2023, the Company’s capacity utilization rateremained high, and its sales of eNVM/Standalone NVM process platforms and Discrete process platforms constantlymaintained double-digit growth year-on-year.Embedded/Standalone Non-Volatile Memory (eNVM/Standalone NVM) process platforms continued to maintain rapidgrowth in both R&D and sales. In terms of R&D, the 90nm embedded flash automotive-grade process and IP reliabilityverification, which are based on our NORD technology with independent intellectual property rights, have beencompleted, which can support the design and mass production of AEC-Q100 Grade1 MCU products and will continueto enrich the Company’s layout of automotive MCU solutions; the development of 65nm standalone NVM processplatform product has remained smooth. In terms of sales, the revenue and shipment of the platform achieved double-digit growth year-on-year in the first half of 2023.As the Company’s power discrete devices are increasingly applied to high-quality development markets, revenue ofthe process platform increased over 30% year-on-year in the first half of 2023 due to the Company’s rich variety ofpower discrete device processes, superior technology, and quality assurance, making it an important engine for theCompany’s stable results. Growth was continuously driven by the expanding electric vehicle and industrial applicationsmarkets worldwide, particularly in Mainland China. Due to constantly innovative technology R&D and a stable supplyguarantee, Hua Hong’s services have won recognition from global customers.Hua Hong Wuxi Phase I 12-inch fab (HH Fab7) operated smoothly, with a high capacity utilization rate in the first halfof 2023. Construction for a total monthly capacity of 94,500 wafers is expected to be completed by the end of theyear. On 18 January 2023, the Company, HHGrace, China IC Fund II and the Wuxi Municipal Entity entered into theJV Agreement, pursuant to which the parties conditionally agreed to establish a joint venture (i.e. the Wuxi Phase IIproject (HH Fab9)) through the JV Company and invest US$880.38 million, US$1,169.82 million, US$1,165.8 millionand US$804 million in cash, respectively, in the JV Company. Pursuant to the JV Agreement, the JV Company shallengage in the manufacturing and sale of integrated circuits and 12-inch (300mm) wafers adopting 65/55 nm to 40 nmprocesses. On the same day, the JV Shareholders and the JV Company entered into the JV Investment Agreementto convert the JV Company into a joint venture and increase the registered capital of the JV Company from RMB6.68million to US$4.02 billion.

15. Fair Value and Fair Value Hierarchy of

Financial Instruments (Continued)The Group’s finance department headed by the financemanager is responsible for determining the policies andprocedures for the fair value measurement of financialinstruments. The finance department reports directly to thechief financial officer. At each reporting date, the financedepartment analyses the movements in the values of financialinstruments and determines the major inputs applied in thevaluation. The valuation is reviewed and approved by the chieffinancial officer.The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities areincluded at the amount at which the instrument could beexchanged in a current transaction between willing parties,other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The followingmethods and assumptions were used to estimate the fairvalues of those financial assets and liabilities measured at fairvalue:

The fair values of listed equity investments are based onquoted market prices adjusted by discount for illiquidity if theinvestments are still in the lock-up period. The fair values ofunlisted equity investments designated at fair value throughother comprehensive income have been estimated using amarket-based valuation technique based on assumptions thatare not supported by observable market prices or rates. Ifthere is a recent deal regarding the unlisted investments, thefair values are estimated based on the dealing price. If thereis no such deal to be referenced, the directors will determinecomparable public companies (peers) based on industry, size,leverage and strategy, and calculates an appropriate pricemultiple, such as price to book value (“P/B”) multiple and priceto sales value (“P/S”) multiple, for each comparable companyidentified. The multiple is calculated by dividing the enterprisevalue of the comparable company by net assets. The tradingmultiple is then discounted for considerations such asilliquidity based on company-specific facts and circumstances.The discounted multiple is applied to the corresponding netassets of the unlisted equity investments to measure the fairvalue. The directors believe that the estimated fair valuesresulting from the valuation technique, which are recordedin the consolidated statement of financial position, and therelated changes in fair values, which are recorded in othercomprehensive income, are reasonable, and that they werethe most appropriate values at the end of the reporting period.

TheGroup’s own non-performance risk for interest-bearing bankborrowings as at 30 June 2023 and 31 December 2022 wasassessed to be insignificant.Fair value hierarchyThe following tables illustrate the fair value measurementhierarchy of the Group’s financial instruments:
