First Six Months 2021 Results
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021, were $225.3 million, an increase of 76.5% from $127.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to revenue increases in the Companys Thailand, North Asia, and Rest of World (ROW) regions. Net revenue in the Companys Thailand region increased by 58.0%, primarily attributable to increases in copper prices and due to lower sales in the first half of 2020 because of the pandemic. Revenues in the Companys North Asia region increased by 83.8%, primarily attributable to increases in copper prices and due to lower sales in the first half of 2020 because of the pandemic. Revenues in the Companys Rest of World (ROW) region increased by 102.8%, primarily due to deferral of orders in Singapore (which had a lockdown from March to June 2020) and stricter border control in Australia. The Companys North Asia region includes China and Hong Kong; the Thailand region consists of operations and sales within Thailand; the ROW region includes Singapore, Australia and the other markets where APWC has operations or sales outside of the Thailand region and North Asia region.
1
Operating profit (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased to $5.0 million from $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Operating profit margin increased from 0.2% in 2020 to 2.2% in 2021. In the Thailand region, operating profit (loss) margin increased slightly year over year from 3.7% to 3.9%. Revenue increased by 58%, but operating profit remained low because the Thailand region provided a $2.2 million allowance for diminution in the value of inventories in 2021. In the North Asia region, operating profit (loss) margin decreased slightly from 3.0% in 2020 to 2.7% for the same period in 2021, primarily attributable to copper price fluctuations. The ROW regions operating profit (loss) margin increased from (4.1)% in 2020 to 1.3% in 2021, primarily attributable to decreased competition due to COVID-19.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $13.0 million, compared to $11.8 million reported for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Net income (loss) attributable to APWC shareholders was $(0.1) million for the first six months of 2021, compared to $(1.2) million for the same period in 2020. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in gross profit. The weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding was 13.82 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Financial Condition
APWC reported $39.0 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $52.2 million as of December 31, 2020.
Current assets totaled $306.6 million as of June 30, 2021, compared to $263.7 million as of December 31, 2020. Working capital was $168.9 million as of June 30, 2021, as compared to $174.3 million as of June 30, 2020. Short term bank loans were $56.2 million at June 30, 2021, an increase from $10.1 million at the end of 2020. The Company had $3.5 million in long-term debt outstanding at June 30, 2021, compared to $3.7 million in long-term debt as of December 31, 2020. Shareholders equity attributable to APWC was $152.6 million as of June 30, 2021, compared to $157.9 million as of December 31, 2020.
APWC reported $46.3 million in cash used in operations during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to cash generated from operations of $10.8 million in the corresponding period in 2020. The increase in cash used in operations in 2021 was primarily attributable to recovery of economy, which led to an increase in purchases of materials and copper prices. The Company reported $1.9 million in cash outflows from investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $15.7 million in cash outflows in the same period of 2020. The decrease in cash used for investing activities was attributable primarily to decrease in purchase of investment properties and short-term bank deposits in 2021. APWC reported $38.7 million in cash inflows from financing activities during the first six months of 2021, compared to $5.6 million in cash inflows from financing activities in the same period of 2020. The increase in cash inflows in 2021 was primarily attributable to an increase in borrowings.

2.2 |
New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Company |
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Companys annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1, 2021.

2.2 |
New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Company (continued) |
Several amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, but none of these are expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Reference to the conceptual framework: Amendments to IFRS 3
The amendments are intended to update IFRS 3 refers to the Conceptual Framework issued in March 2018 instead of the 1989 Framework, and add an exception for the recognition of liabilities and contingent liabilities within the scope of IAS 37 Provision, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and Interpretation 21 Levies. The amendments also confirm that contingent assets should not be recognized at the acquisition date. The Company does not expect the amendments to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Property, plant and equipment: proceeds before intended use Amendments to IAS 16
On May 14, 2020, the IASB issued Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use, which prohibits entities deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment, any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognizes the proceeds from selling such items, and the costs of producing those items, in profit or loss.
The Company does not expect the amendments to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Onerous contracts Amendments to IAS 37
On May 14, 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 37 to specify which costs an entity needs to include when assessing whether a contract is onerous or loss-making. The amendments apply a directly related cost approach. The costs that related directly to a contract to provide goods or services include both incremental costs and allocation of costs directly related to contract activities. General and administrative costs do not relate directly to a contract and excluded unless they are explicitly chargeable to the counterparty under the contract. The amendments apply to contracts for which the entity has not yet fulfilled all its obligations at the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendments. Comparatives are not restated. The Company will apply these amendments to contacts for which the Company has not yet fulfilled all its obligations at the beginning of the annual reporting period in which it first applies the amendments.
The Company does not expect the amendments to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE CURRENT REPORTING PERIOD |
Our manufacturing and production have been affected by the outbreak of COVID-19. COVID-19 has affected and disrupted our operations and the operations of our suppliers, customers, and other business partners, including as a result of travel restrictions, business shutdowns, and other COVID-19 containment measures. A slowdown in economic activity as a result of COVID-19 has also resulted in, and could continue to result in, a reduction in demand for our products.
Our China production facilities had been operating back to normal production levels in the first half of 2021. Although our production in China has recovered, there can be no assurance that it will not decrease again as a result of COVID-19.
With the introduction of Stabilization Phase of Transition to COVID-19 Resilience by Singapore government and updates to border measures which effective from 26 October 2021 onwards we are in the opinion that these soften measures in response to COVID-19 could have a positive impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations. However, we cannot predict whether the Singapore government will again institute measures requiring businesses to close or reduce on-site staff, or if it will institute other measures in response to COVID-19 that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. COVID-19 has had, and is expected to continue to have, a negative impact on our business in Singapore. In addition, COVID-19 has delayed the fulfillment of contracts with our customers, causing negative impacts on our cash flow and liquidity. If we are not able to expand or extend lines of credit from banks, we may negotiate business terms with our suppliers to meet our liquidity needs in Singapore, which could cause an increase in financing costs.
The business operation in Australia has experienced certain degree of impact from global pandemic of COVID-19. Two of the biggest states in the country has locked down a few times during the year, undoubtedly there are interruption in business operation in those areas leading to reduction in sales volume and business confidence. Fortunately, our factory operation in Brisbane, Queensland has been classified as essential business which allows us to continue to operate during the lockdown stage. The business in Queensland has not been adversely affected due to border closure between states, shortage of supply of imported cables, and demand from existing building infrastructure and projects. However, ongoing increase in freight costs, continue rising of material costs due to shortage and shipping issue, would certainly add pressure to our cashflow and business operation and pose challenges to the already competitive market environment.
The impact of COVID-19 is constantly changing. Our operations in Thailand could be materially and adversely affected if an outbreak recurs in these regions. Although we are monitoring the situation, the extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and unpredictable in nature.
We are facing increased operational challenges as we take measures to support and protect employee health and safety as a result of COVID-19. For example, in order to protect the employees from COVID-19, the Company has taken measures to protect its employees, including temperature checks before entering the workplace, mandatory mask-wearing, social distancing, and work from home. We have also implemented staggered work hours to lower the risk that our employees might get infected on public transportations if they commute during peak hours. In particular, our remote work arrangements, coupled with stay-at-home orders and quarantines, pose challenges to our employees and our IT systems, and the extension of remote work arrangements could increase operational risk, including cyber security and IT systems management risks, and impair our ability to manage our business. The increased operational challenges could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, and results of operations. In addition, Copper prices have risen by more than 20% from the end of 2020 to the end of October 2021, which has the effect of the value of our inventory.

COVID-19 has also adversely impacted the recoverability of certain of our assets. COVID-19 is expected to continue to impact the recoverability of the Companys assets and lead to further impairment charges in the future.

SEGMENT INFORMATION |
4(a) |
Basis of segments |
Each segment engages in business activities which generate revenues and incur expenses. Based upon the information provided to the Companys chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions on resource allocation and operating performance evaluation, the Company has determined that it has three reportable segments.
The Company organizes its business segments along reporting lines and has three operating segments, consisting of the North Asia region, the Thailand region and the Rest of the World (ROW) region. The Company considers the economic characteristics similarity in determining the reportable segments.
As the three operating segments exceed the quantitative thresholds, they are also reportable segments. The accounting policies for segment information, including transactions entered between segments are generally the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
Inter-segment revenues are eliminated upon consolidation and reflected in the adjustments and eliminations column. All other adjustments and eliminations are part of detailed reconciliations presented further below.

6(c) Hedging activities and derivatives
(i) Commodity price risk
The Company purchases copper on an ongoing basis as its operating activities require a continuous supply of copper for manufacturing products. To reduce the exposures to copper shortage, the Company enters into purchase contracts with commitment of monthly minimum purchase at market prices for selected operating units. The majority of these transactions take the form of contracts that are entered into and continue to be held for the purpose of receipt or delivery of the copper based on the Companys expected purchase, sale or usage requirements. Such purchase commitment contracts are not deemed financial instruments or derivatives. To date, these contract positions have not had a material effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations, and cash flow.
(ii) Foreign currency risk
The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts with the intention to reduce the foreign exchange risk of expected sales and purchase transactions. These contracts are entered into the periods consistent with foreign currency exposure of the underlying transaction, generally from one to 12 months. These contracts are not designated in hedge relationships, and are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had outstanding forward contracts with notional amounts of $12 million and $0 million, respectively. The outstanding forward contracts at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 mature between August 10 and December 15, 2021, respectively.
The forward contract balance varies with the expected foreign currency transactions and changes in foreign exchange rate.

(i) Methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
|
Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, due from related parties, trade and other payables, due to related parties, and financial lease liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. |

FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES (continued) |
(i) Methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value (continued)
|
Fixed-rate and variable-rate receivables are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates, specific country risk factors, individual creditworthiness of the customer and the risk characteristics of the financed project. Based on this evaluation, allowances were provided to account for the expected losses of these receivables. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying amounts of such receivables, net of allowances, were not materially different from their calculated fair values. |
|
Fixed rate long-term bank deposits and fixed rate and variable-rate borrowings are evaluated using discounted cash flows and the market rates or current rates for deposits of similar remaining maturities. |
|
Fair value of financial liabilities at fair value through profit or lossderivatives is derived from inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. |
|
Fair value of interest-bearing borrowings and loans are determined by using discounted cash flow method with discount rate that reflects the issuers borrowing rate as of the end of the reporting period. The non-performance risk as of June 30, 2021 was assessed to be insignificant. |

The Company estimates the fair value of investment in equity instrument by using the market approach (market comparatives approach). The key in this method is the selection of quoted comparable companies and accommodate adjustments to bring the accounts of different companies into a broadly consistent framework for analysis. Then, select appropriate Indicators of Value. The followings should be taken into account:
|
Enterprise Value (EV) versus Market Capitalization; |
|
Earnings-based: EBITDA +/or EBIT versus Net Earnings +/or Net Cash Flow |
|
Balance Sheet based: Net Total Assets versus Shareholders Funds |
Discount for the lack of liquidity to reflect the lesser liquidity of this equity instrument compared with those of its comparable public company peers. The Company assessed the discount for the lack of liquidity to be 30 percent on the basis of relevant studies applicable in the region and industry as well as on the specific facts and circumstances of the equity instrument. The equity instruments finance performance is characterized by stable, consistent growth and profitability. The Company believes the liquidity discount of 30% would be appropriate.
