OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2021

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Exhibit includes statements that are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of U.S. securities laws. The terms “anticipates,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should” and other similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements. These statements are made under the “Safe Harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements appear in a number of places throughout this Exhibit and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the industries in which we operate.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industries in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Exhibit. Important factors that could cause those differences include, but are not limited to: general local and global economic conditions; the political stability of our local region; outlook of the major and emerging end markets for our products, such as smartphones, high performance computing, internet of things, automotive electronics and digital consumer electronics; the volatility of the semiconductor and electronics industry; our ability to develop new technologies successfully and remain a technological leader; the increased competition from other companies and our ability to retain and increase our market share; overcapacity in the semiconductor industry; our reliance on certain major customers; the reliability of our information technology systems and resilience to any cyberattacks; our ability to maintain control over expansion and facility modifications; our ability to generate growth and profitability; our ability to hire and retain qualified personnel; our ability to acquire required equipment and supplies necessary to meet business needs; our ability to protect our technologies, intellectual property rights and third-party licenses; disruptive events, such as earthquakes or droughts; the COVID-19 pandemic; power and other utility shortages; construction issues as we expand our capacity; and fluctuations in foreign currency rates, in particular, any material appreciation of the NT dollar against the U.S. dollar, and our ability to manage such risks.

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our strategy and future plans, future business condition and financial results, our capital expenditure plans, our capacity management plans, expectations as to the commercial production using 3-nanometer and more advanced technologies, technological upgrades, investment in research and development, future market demand, future regulatory or other developments in our industry, business expansion plans or new investments as well as business acquisitions and financing plans.

The forward-looking statements made in this Exhibit relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this Exhibit. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should read this Exhibit completely in conjunction with our Annual Reports on Form 20-F and other documents filed with or furnished to the SEC and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

Net Revenue

Our net revenue increased by 18.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, which was mainly attributed to a 15.2% increase in wafer shipments and an 11.7% increase in average selling price due to higher advanced technology (7-nanometer and below) revenue weighting, partially offset by a 7.1% appreciation of the NT dollar against the U.S. dollar.

Gross Margin

Our gross margin fluctuates with the level of capacity utilization, price change, cost improvement, product mix and exchange rates, among other factors. Furthermore, our gross margin would be negatively impacted in the period when a new technology is introduced.

In the six months ended June 30, 2021, our gross margin decreased to 51.2% of net revenue from 52.4% in the same period in 2020, mainly ascribed to an unfavorable impact of the NT dollar’s appreciation against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by higher capacity utilization.

Research and Development Expenses

We remain strongly committed to being the leader in advanced process technologies development. We believe that continuing investment in process technologies is essential for us to remain competitive in the markets we serve.

Research and development expenses increased by NT$11,768 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, or 23.6%, from the same period in 2020. The increases were mainly attributed to a higher level of research activities for 2-nanometer, 3-nanometer and 4-nanometer process technologies, as we continued to advance to smaller processing nodes, partially offset by a lower level of research activities for 5-nanometer and 7-nanometer. We plan to continue our investment in technology research and development in 2021.

General and Administrative and Marketing Expenses

General and administrative and marketing expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2021, increased by NT$2,083 million, or 13.0%, compared to the same period in 2020, mainly reflecting a structural pay raise and higher employee profit sharing expenses due to higher net income.

Other Operating Income and Expenses

We recorded a net loss of NT$136 million from other operating income and expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to a net gain of NT$60 million in the same period in 2020, primarily attributed to an impairment loss on property, plant and equipment of NT$274 million and higher depreciation of assets subject to operating leases of NT$123 million, partially offset by higher rental income of NT$247 million.

The decrease was partially offset by higher foreign exchange gain of NT$2,969 million compared to the same period in 2020.

The decrease was mainly due to the adjustment of surtax imposed on prior year’s unappropriated earnings in 2021, attributed to the deduction of capital expenditures from the unappropriated earnings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our sources of liquidity include cash flow from operations, cash and cash equivalents, current portion of marketable financial assets and issuances of corporate bonds.

Our primary source of liquidity is cash flow from operations. Cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021, was NT$415,255 million (US$14,878 million), reflecting an increase of NT$41,891 million compared to the same period in 2020.

Our cash, cash equivalents and current portion of marketable financial assets increased to NT$870,835 million (US$31,202 million) as of June 30, 2021, compared to NT$605,016 million as of June 30, 2020. The current portion of marketable financial assets primarily consisted of fixed income securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we issued NT dollar-denominated corporate bonds totaling NT$60,000 million (US$2,150 million) and U.S. dollar denominated corporate bonds of US$3,500 million.

We believe that our cash generated from operations, cash and cash equivalents, current portion of marketable financial assets, and ability to access capital markets will be sufficient to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures, debt repayments, dividend payments and other business requirements associated with existing operations over the next 12 months.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (a Republic of China corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2021, the related condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “condensed consolidated interim financial information”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated April 16, 2021, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2020, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial position from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This condensed consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Fair value hedge
The Company entered into interest rate futures contracts, which are used to partially hedge against the fair value changes caused by interest rate fluctuation in the Company’s fixed income investments. The hedge ratio is adjusted in response to the changes in the financial market and capped at 100%.
On the basis of economic relationships, the value of the interest rate futures contracts and the value of the hedged financial assets will change in opposite directions in response to movements in interest rates.
The main source of hedge ineffectiveness in these hedging relationships is the credit risk of the hedged financial assets, which is not reflected in the fair value of the interest rate futures contracts. No other sources of ineffectiveness emerged from these hedging relationships during the hedging period. Amount of hedge ineffectiveness recognized in profit or loss is classified under other gains and
losses, net.

Cash flow hedge
The Company entered
 
into forward exchange contracts to partially hedge foreign exchange rate risks associated with certain highly probable forecast transactions (capital expenditures). The hedge ratio is adjusted in response to the changes in the financial market and capped at
100
%. The forward exchange contracts have maturities of 12 months or less.

On the basis of economic relationships, the Company expects that the value of forward exchange contracts and the value of hedged transactions will change in opposite directions in response to movements in foreign exchange rates.
The main source of hedge ineff
e
ctiveness in these hedging relationships is driven by the effect of the counterparty’s own credit risk on the fair value of forward exchange contracts. No other sources of ineffectiveness emerged from these hedging relationships. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, refer to Note 21(d) for gain or loss arising from changes in the fair value of hedging instruments and the amount transferred to initial carrying amount of hedged items.

The Company signed a contract with the bank to sell certain accounts receivable without recourse and transaction cost required. These accounts receivable are classified as at FVTOCI because they are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets. 
In principle, the payment term granted to customers is due 30 days from the invoice date or 30 days from the end of the month when the invoice is issued. Aside from recognizing impairment loss for credit-impaired accounts receivable, the Company recognizes loss allowance based on the expected credit loss ratio of customers by different risk levels with consideration of factors of historical loss ratios and customers’ financial conditions, competitiveness and business outlook. For accounts receivable past due over 90 days without collaterals or guarantees, the Company recognizes loss allowance at full amount.

e
t assets during actual disposal and donations may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Company has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or stock dividends up to a certain percentage of TSMC’s
paid-in
capital. The capital surplus from share of changes in equities of subsidiaries and associates and dividend of a claim extinguished by a prescription may be used to offset a deficit.

Retained earnings and dividend policy
TSMC’s Articles of Incorporation provide that, earnings distribution may be made on a quarterly basis after the close of each quarter. Distribution of earnings by way of cash dividends should be approved by TSMC’s Board of Directors and reported to TSMC’s shareholders in its meeting. When allocating earnings, TSMC shall first estimate and reserve the taxes to be paid, offset its losses, set aside a legal capital reserve at 10% of the remaining earnings (until the accumulated legal capital reserve equals TSMC’s
paid-in
capital), then set aside a special capital reserve in accordance with relevant laws or regulations or as requested by the authorities in charge. Any balance left over shall be allocated according to relevant laws and the TSMC’s Articles of Incorporation.
TSMC’s Articles of Incorporation also provide that profits of TSMC may be distributed by way of cash dividend and/or stock dividend. However, distribution of earnings shall be made preferably by way of cash dividend. Distribution of earnings may also be made by way of stock dividend, provided that the ratio for stock dividend shall not exceed 50% of the total distribution.
The legal capital reserve may be used to offset a deficit, or be distributed as dividends in cash or stocks for the portion in excess of 25% of the
paid-in
capital if the Company incurs no loss.
Pursuant to existing regulations, the Company is required to set aside additional special capital reserve equivalent to the net debit balance of the other components of stockholders’ equity, such as the accumulated balance of foreign currency translation reserve, unrealized valuation gain or loss from fair value through other comprehensive income financial assets, gain or loss from changes in fair value of hedging instruments in cash flow hedges, etc. For the subsequent decrease in the deduction amount to stockholders’ equity, any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent that the net debit balance reverses.
The appropriations of 2019, 2020 and 2021 quarterly earnings have been approved by TSMC’s Board of Directors in its meeting, respectively. The appropriations and cash dividends per share were as follows:

Financial risk management objectives
The Company manag
e
s its exposure to foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, equity price risk, credit risk and liquidity risk with the objective to reduce the potentially adverse effects the market uncertainties may have on its financial performance.
The plans for material treasury activities are reviewed by the Audit Committees and/or Board of Directors in accordance with procedures required by relevant regulations or internal controls. During the implementation of such plans, the Company must comply with certain treasury procedures that provide guiding principles for overall financial risk management and segregation of duties.
 
  c.
Market risk
The Company is exposed to the financial market risks, primarily changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and equity investment prices. A portion of these risks is hedged.
 
F - 37

Foreign currency risk
Substantially all the Company’s sales are denominated in U.S. dollars and over half of its capital expenditures are denominated in currencies other than NT dollars, primarily in U.S. dollars, Japanese yen and Euros. As a result, any significant fluctuations to its disadvantage in the exchanges rate of NT dollar against such currencies, in particular a weakening of U.S. dollar against NT dollar, would have an adverse impact on the revenue and operating profit as expressed in NT dollars. The Company uses foreign currency derivative contracts, such as currency forwards or currency swaps, to protect against currency exchange rate risks associated with
non-NT
dollar-denominated assets and liabilities and certain forecasted transactions. These hedges reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the effect of foreign currency exchange rate movements on the assets and liabilities.
Based on a sensitivity analysis performed on the Company’s total monetary assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, a hypothetical adverse foreign currency exchange rate change of 10% would have decreased its net income by NT$1,066.8 million and NT$519.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively, after taking into account hedges and offsetting positions
.
Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risks primarily related to its investment portfolio and outstanding debt. Changes in interest rates affect the interest earned on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and fixed income securities, the fair value of those securities, as well as the interest paid on its debt.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents as well as fixed income investments in both fixed- and floating-rate securities carry a degree of interest rate risk. The majority of the Company’s fixed income investments are fixed-rate securities, which are classified as financial assets at FVTOCI, and may have their fair value adversely affected due to a rise in interest rates. At the same time, if interest rates fall, cash and cash equivalents as well as floating-rate securities may generate less interest income than expected. The Company has entered and may in the future enter into interest rate futures to partially hedge the interest rate risk on its fixed income investments. However, these hedges can offset only a small portion of the financial impact from movements in interest rates.
Based on a sensitivity analysis performed on the Company’s fixed income investments at the end of the reporting period, interest rates increase of 100 basis points (1.00%) across all maturities would have decreased the Company’s other comprehensive income by NT$3,153.0 million and NT$3,713.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively.
The majority of the Company’s short-term debt is floating-rate, hence a rise in interest rates may result in higher interest expense than expected. The majority of the Company’s long-term debt is fixed-rate and measured at amortized cost and as such, changes in interest rates would not affect the future cash flows and the carrying amount.
Other price risk
The Company is exposed to equity price risk arising from financial assets at FVTOCI.
Assuming a hypothetical decrease of 10% in prices of the equity investments at the end of the reporting period for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, the other comprehensive income would have decreased by NT$419.3 million and NT$532.9 million, respectively.
 
F - 38

 
  d.
Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial losses to the Company. The Company is exposed to credit risks from operating activities, primarily accounts receivable, and from investing activities, primarily deposits, fixed-income investments and other financial instruments with banks. Credit risk is managed separately for business related and financial related exposures. As of the end of the reporting period, the Company’s maximum credit risk exposure is equal to the carrying amount of financial assets.
Business related credit risk
The Company’s accounts receivable are from its customers worldwide. The majority of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable are not covered by collaterals or guarantees. While the Company has procedures to monitor and manage credit risk exposure on accounts receivable, there is no assurance such procedures will effectively eliminate losses resulting from its credit risk. This risk is heightened during periods when economic conditions worsen.
As of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021, the Company’s ten largest customers accounted for 79% and 78% of accounts receivable, respectively. The Company considers the concentration of credit risk for the remaining accounts receivable not material.
Financial credit risk
The Company mitigates its financial credit risk by selecting counterparties with investment grade credit ratings and by limiting the exposure to any individual counterparty. The Company regularly monitors and reviews the limit applied to counterparties and adjusts the limit according to market conditions and the credit standing of the counterparties.
The objective of the Company’s investment policy is to achieve a return that will allow the Company to preserve principal and support liquidity requirements. The policy generally requires securities to be investment grade and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. The Company assesses whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk in the invested securities since initial recognition by reviewing changes in external credit ratings, financial market conditions and material information of the issuers.
The Company assesses the
12-month
expected credit loss and lifetime expected credit loss based on the probability of default and loss given default provided by external credit rating agencies. The current credit risk assessment policies are as follows:

For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, the expected credit loss decreased NT$0.5 million and NT$3.6 million, respectively. The changes were mainly due to investment portfolio adjustment.

  e.
Liquidity risk management
The objective of liquidity risk management is to ensure the Company has sufficient liquidity to fund its business operations over the next 12 months. The Company manages its liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at FVTOCI-current, financial assets at amortized cost-current and sufficient cost-efficient funding.

Fair value of financial instruments
 
  1)
Fair value measurements recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of financial position 
Fair value measurements are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:
 
 
Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 
 
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
 
 
Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The timing of transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy is at the end of reporting period.

Valuation techniques and assumptions used in Level
 2 fair value measurement
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
 
 
The fair values of corporate bonds, agency bonds, agency mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, government bonds and
non-publicly
traded equity investments - equity investments trading on the Emerging Stock Board are determined by quoted market prices provided by third party pricing services.
 
 
The fair values of forward exchange contracts are measured using forward exchange rates and discount rates derived from quoted market prices.
 
 
The fair value of accounts receivable classified as at FVTOCI is determined by the present value of future cash flows based on the discount rate that reflects the credit risk of counterparties.
Valuation techniques and assumptions used in Level
 3 fair value measurement
The fair values of
non-publicly
trad
e
d equity investments (excluding those trading on the Emerging Stock Board) are mainly determined by using the asset approach and market approach.
 
F - 43

The asset approach takes into account the net asset value measured at the fair value by independent parties. On December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021, the Company uses unobservable inputs derived from discount for lack of marketability of 10%. When other inputs remain equal, the fair value will decrease by NT$39.0 million and NT$46.2 million, respectively, if discounts for lack of marketability increase by 1%.
For the remaining few investments, the market approach is used to arrive at their fair values, for which the recent financing activities of investees, the market transaction prices of the similar companies and market conditions are considered.

Fair value of financial instruments that are not measured at
 
fair value
Except as detailed in the following table, the Company considers that the carrying amounts of financial instruments in the condensed consolidated financial statements that are not measured at fair value approximate their fair values.

Significant contingent liabilities and unrecognized commitments of the Company as of the end of the reporting period, excluding those disclosed in other notes, were as follows:
 
  a.
Under a technical cooperation agreement with Industrial Technology Research Institute, the R.O.C. Government or its designee approved by TSMC can use up to 35% of TSMC’s capacity provided TSMC’s outstanding commitments to its customers are not prejudiced. The term of this agreement is for five years beginning from January 1, 1987 and is automatically renewed for successive periods of five years unless otherwise terminated by either party with one year prior notice. As of June 30, 2021, the R.O.C. Government did not invoke such right.
 
  b.
Under a Shareholders Agreement entered into with Philips and EDB Investments Pte Ltd. on March 30, 1999, the parties formed a joint venture company, SSMC, which is an integrated circuit foundry in Singapore. TSMC’s equity interest in SSMC was 32%. Nevertheless, in September 2006, Philips
spun-off
its semiconductor subsidiary which was renamed as NXP B.V. Further, TSMC and NXP B.V. purchased all the SSMC shares owned by EDB Investments Pte Ltd. pro rata according to the Shareholders Agreement on November 15, 2006. After the purchase, TSMC and NXP B.V. currently own approximately 39% and 61% of the SSMC shares, respectively. TSMC and NXP B.V. are required, in the aggregate, to purchase at least 70% of SSMC’s capacity, but TSMC alone is not required to purchase more than 28% of the capacity. If any party defaults on the commitment and the capacity utilization of SSMC falls below a specific percentage of its capacity, the defaulting party is required to compensate SSMC for all related unavoidable costs. There was no default from the aforementioned commitment as of June 30, 2021.

OPERATING SEGMENTS
 
INFORMATION
TSMC’s chief operating decision makers periodically review operating results, focusing on operating income generated by foundry segment. Operating results are used for resource allocation and/or performance assessment. As a result, the Company has only one operating segment, the foundry segment. The foundry segment engages mainly in the manufacturing, sales, packaging, testing and computer-aided design of integrated circuits and other semiconductor devices and the manufacturing of masks.
The basis for the measurement of income from operations is the same as that for the preparation of financial statements. Please refer to the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the related segment revenue and operating results.
