INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Taiwan Semiconductor

Manufacturing Company Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of March 31,

2026 and 2025, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and

cash flows for the three months then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial

statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the

“consolidated financial statements”). Management is responsible for the preparation and fair

presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing

the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34

“Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory

Commission of the Republic of China. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the

consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

Scope of Review

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Standards on Review Engagements of the Republic

of China 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of

the Entity”. A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of

persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review

procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us

to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in

an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that caused us to believe that the

accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the

consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, its consolidated

financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and

2025 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by

Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed

and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

The engagement partners on the reviews resulting in this independent auditors’ review report are Shih

Notice to Readers

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are intended only to present the consolidated

financial position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles

and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions.

The standards, procedures and practices to review such consolidated financial statements are those

generally applied in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the independent auditors’ review report and the accompanying

consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version

prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and

the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-

language independent auditors’ review report and consolidated financial statements shall prevail.

1. GENERAL

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC), a Republic of China (R.O.C.)

corporation, was incorporated on February 21, 1987. TSMC is a dedicated foundry in the semiconductor

industry which engages mainly in the manufacturing, sales, packaging, testing and computer-aided design

of integrated circuits and other semiconductor devices and the manufacturing of masks.

On September 5, 1994, TSMC’s shares were listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE). On October 8,

1997, TSMC listed some of its shares of stock on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in the form of

American Depositary Shares (ADSs).

The address of its registered office and principal place of business is No. 8, Li-Hsin Rd. 6, Hsinchu Science

Park, Taiwan. The principal operating activities of TSMC’s subsidiaries are described in Note 4.

(collectively, “IFRS Accounting Standards”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial

Supervisory Commission (FSC)

The initial application of the amendments to the IFRS Accounting Standards endorsed and issued into

effect by the FSC did not have a material impact on the accounting policies of TSMC and its

subsidiaries (collectively as the “Company”).

b.The IFRS Accounting Standards issued by IASB, but not yet endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC

New, Amended and Revised Standards and Interpretations	Effective Date Issued<br><br>by IASB

endorsement of IFRS 18 by the FSC.

• 11 -

IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” and consequential amendments

IFRS 18 will supersede IAS 1“ Presentation of Financial Statements”. The main changes comprise:

•Items of income and expenses included in the statement of profit or loss shall be classified into the

operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations categories.

•The statement of profit or loss shall present totals and subtotals for operating profit or loss, profit or

loss before financing and income taxes and profit or loss.

•Provides guidance to enhance the requirements of aggregation and disaggregation: The Company

shall identify the assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows that arise from

individual transactions or other events and shall classify and aggregate them into groups based on

shared characteristics, so as to result in the presentation in the primary financial statements of line

items that have at least one similar characteristic. The Company shall disaggregate items with

dissimilar characteristics in the primary financial statements and in the notes. The Company labels

items as “other” only if it cannot find a more informative label.

In addition, a consequential amendment has been made to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”, requiring

the Company to use operating profit or loss as the starting point when presenting cash flows from

operating activities under the indirect method.

Except for the above impact, as of the date the accompanying consolidated financial statements were

issued, the Company continues in evaluating other impacts of the above amended standards and on its

financial position and financial performance from the initial adoption of the aforementioned standards

or interpretations and related applicable period. The related impact will be disclosed when the Company

completes its evaluation.

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 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 have 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.

Hedges of net investments in foreign operations

TSMC has designated the bank loans denominated in foreign currency as a hedge of net investments in

foreign operations to manage its foreign currency risk arising from investment in overseas subsidiaries.

The main source of hedge ineffectiveness in these hedging relationships is driven by the material difference

between the notional amount of bank loans denominated in foreign currency and the net investment in

foreign operations. No other sources of ineffectiveness have emerged from these hedging relationships

during the hedging period. Refer to Note 19 (d) for gain or loss arising from changes in the fair value of

hedging instruments.

The effect for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is detailed below:

	$357,742,772	$279,051,553	$241,682,270

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 15 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.

recoverable amount is determined based on the value in use. The value in use was calculated based on the

cash flow forecast from the financial budgets covering the future five-year period, and the Company used

annual discount rate of 9.5% in its test of impairment as of December 31, 2025 to reflect the relevant

specific risk in the cash-generating unit.

c.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 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.

-27-

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 an additional special capital

reserve equivalent to the net debit balance of the other components of stockholders’ equity, such as the

accumulated balance of the foreign currency translation reserve, the effectiveness of hedges of net

investments in foreign operations, 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,

b.Financial risk management objectives

The Company manages 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.

-38-

The plans for material treasury activities are reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee 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 prices. A portion of these risks is hedged.

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, and non-derivative

financial instruments, such as foreign currency bank loans and bank deposits, to protect against

currency exchange rate risks associated with non-NT dollar-denominated monetary assets and

liabilities, net investments in foreign operations, 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

three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, a hypothetical adverse foreign currency exchange rate

change of 10% would have decreased its net income by NT$576,921 thousand and NT$889,382

thousand ,respectively, after taking into account hedges and offsetting positions.

Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risks primarily in relation 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 majority of the Company’s fixed income investments are fixed-rate securities, which are classified

as financial assets at FVTOCI or at amortized cost. For those fixed income investments classified as

financial assets at FVTOCI, changes in their fair value are recognized through other comprehensive

income; for those classified as financial assets at amortized cost, changes in their fair value are not

reflected in the carrying amount. Both classifications recognized in profit or loss if the assets are sold.

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$4,385,342 thousand and NT$4,476,317

thousand for the  three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The majority of the Company’s debt is fixed-rate and measured at amortized cost and as such, changes

in interest rates would not affect future cash flows or the carrying amount.

The Company has entered and may in the future enter into interest rate derivatives to partially hedge the

interest rate risk on its fixed income investments and anticipated debt issuance. However, these hedges

can offset only a limited portion of the financial impact from movements in interest rates.

-39-

Other price risk

The Company is exposed to convertible preferred stocks, equity instrument investments, and other

investments price risk arising from financial assets at FVTPL and FVTOCI.

Assuming a hypothetical decrease of 10% in prices of the investments mentioned above at the end of

the reporting period, the net income would have decreased by NT$1,246,583 thousand and

NT$1,238,824 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and the

other comprehensive income would have decreased by NT$1,230,160 thousand and NT$986,946

thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

d.Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty may 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 March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company’s ten largest customers

accounted for 84%, 84% and 84% 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:

-40-

Category	Description	Basis for Recognizing<br><br>Expected Credit Loss	Expected<br><br>Credit Loss<br><br>Ratio
Performing	Credit rating is investment grade on<br><br>valuation date	12 months expected credit<br><br>loss	0-0.1%
Doubtful	Credit rating is non-investment grade<br><br>on valuation date	Lifetime expected credit<br><br>loss-not credit impaired	-
In default	Credit rating is CC or below on<br><br>valuation date	Lifetime expected credit<br><br>loss-credit impaired	-
Write-off	There is evidence indicating that the<br><br>debtor is in severe financial<br><br>difficulty and the Company has no<br><br>realistic prospect of recovery	Amount is written off	-

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the expected credit loss increased NT$21,050

thousand and decreased NT$6,086 thousand, respectively. The changes were mainly due to adjusted

investment portfolio and fluctuations in exchange rates.

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.

The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Company’s financial liabilities based on

contractual undiscounted payments, including principal and interest.

f.Fair value of financial instruments

1)Fair value measurements recognized in the consolidated balance sheets

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.

2)Fair value of financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis

Reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements of financial assets

The financial assets measured at Level 3 fair value were financial assets at FVTPL and equity

investments classified as financial assets at FVTOCI. Reconciliations for the three months ended

March 31, 2026 and 2025 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31
	2026	2025
Balance, beginning of period	$23,829,298	$23,022,726
Additions	294,325	241,385
Recognized in profit or loss	50,482	21,700
Recognized in other comprehensive income or loss	1,053,960	240,879
Disposals and proceeds from return of capital of investments	(402,442)	(1,112)
Effect of exchange rate changes	461,472	297,384
Balance, end of period	$25,287,095	$23,822,962

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 debt investments designated at FVTOCI are determined by market prices

provided by third party pricing services, or measured using inputs that are observable either

directly or indirectly.

•The fair values of forward exchange contracts are measured using forward rates and discount

rates derived from quoted market prices.

-45-

•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 financial assets at FVTPL and non-publicly traded equity investments are mainly

determined by using the asset approach, income approach or market approach.

The asset approach takes into account the net asset value measured at the fair value. On March 31,

2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, 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$67,361 thousand, NT$64,123 thousand and NT$59,454 thousand, respectively, if

discounts for lack of marketability increase by 1%.

The income approach utilizes discounted cash flows to determine the present value of the expected

future economic benefits that will be derived from the investment. On March 31, 2026,

December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company mainly uses unobservable inputs, which

include expected returns, discount rate of 8.8%, 8.9% and 8.8%, respectively and discount for lack

of marketability of 20%. With other inputs remain equal, if discount rate increases by 1%, the fair

value will decrease by NT$1,912,859 thousand, NT$1,812,408 thousand and NT$586,129

thousand, respectively; if discount for lack of marketability increases by 1%, the fair value will

decrease by NT$141,912 thousand, NT$133,626 thousand and NT$155,838 thousand, respectively.

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.

3)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 consolidated financial statements that are not measured at fair value

approximate their fair values.

NT$381,920 thousand, NT$129,385 thousand and NT$134,029 thousand, respectively.

33. SIGNIFICANT CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND UNRECOGNIZED COMMITMENTS

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 the end of reporting

period, 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 the end of reporting period.

c.In February 2025, Longitude Licensing Ltd. and Marlin Semiconductor Limited (collectively, “Marlin”)

filed complaints with the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) and the U.S. District Court for

the Eastern District of Texas alleging that TSMC and its customers infringe five U.S. patents. The ITC

instituted an investigation on March 21, 2025 and the lawsuit in the Eastern District Court for Texas

was statutorily stayed on April 23, 2025 pending the ITC investigation. The outcome cannot be

determined, and we cannot make a reliable estimate of the contingent liability at this time.

d.TSMC entered into long-term purchase agreements of materials and supplies, manufacturing services

and agreements of waste disposal with multiple suppliers. The relative minimum fulfillment quantity

and price are specified in the agreements.

e.TSMC entered into long-term purchase agreement of equipment and maintenance service. The relative

fulfillment period, quantity and price are specified in the agreement.

f.TSMC entered into long-term energy purchase agreements with multiple suppliers. The relative

fulfillment period, quantity and price are specified in the agreements.

g.Amounts available under unused letters of credit as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025  and

March 31, 2025 were NT$447,293 thousand, NT$438,643 thousand and NT$496,415 thousand,

respectively.

-50-

h.The Company entrusted financial institutions to provide performance guarantees mainly for import and

export of goods, lease agreement and apply for subsidy. As of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025  and

March 31, 2025, the aforementioned guarantee amounted to NT$24,039,125 thousand, NT$23,375,215

thousand, and NT$8,687,244 thousand, respectively.

34. SIGNIFICANT LOSS FROM DISASTER

In January 2025, several earthquakes struck Taiwan. The resulting damage was mostly to inventories,

machinery and equipment. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company recognized related earthquake losses

to be approximately NT$5.3 billion, net of insurance claim. Such losses were primarily included in the cost

of revenue and other operating income and expenses in net amounts.

On April 3, 2024, an earthquake struck Taiwan. The resulting damage was mostly to inventories, plant

facilities and machinery and equipment. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company recognized related
