□ Performance and forecast by business unit
 
Components Business: Despite an increase in China-bound smartphone and vehicle MLCC shipment volume, 4Q sales decreased QoQ by 2% and recorded KRW 964.5 billion due to FX rates.

This year, with an expected increase in untact-related component demand, as a result of growth in the 5G smartphone market as well as PC and servers, and growth in the automotive market, supply for high added-value products is expected to increase.
 
Modules Business: Due to a decrease in supply for flagship smartphone camera modules as a result of product off-seasonality, sales decreased QoQ by 29% and recorded KRW 564.0 billion.
 
With the trend for high-performing, slim camera modules, Samsung Electro-Mechanics plans to continue to secure distinct technological competitiveness through optical zoom and slim modules and expand sales by continuing to supply high spec smartphone products among entry-level products.
 
Circuit Boards Business: 4Q sales grew QoQ by 23% and recorded KRW 557.9 billion. Performance improved with the expansion of supply of mobile AP and CPU high added-value package circuit boards and OLED RFPCB.
 
This year, the Circuit Boards Business plans to improve profitability by expanding its supply of high added-value package circuit boards, including 5G, automotive, and thin plate CPU circuit boards, as a result of an increase in demand with the expected improvement in the semiconductor market.
