With the surplus of non-operating incom TWD 222 million, the 2008 EBIT was TWD 412 million.
Due to listed loss badly caused by dramatic economic recession in 2008/Q4 and the bankruptcy of an important customer Nortel last year, along with partial loss for unexpected stagnate WiMAX market development, 2008/Q4 showed its interrupted profiting trend with insignificant business loss arisen. With comparing to last year, 2008 annual revenue grows 12% to TWD 15.09. It meant a turnover trend from loss to profit, saying goodbye to business loss formally with EBIT TWD412 million.
