1. Revenue Growth

Revenue growth is computed from current revenue less revenue of the prior period divided by revenue of the prior period. The result is expressed in percentage.

2. Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit margin reflects the management’s policies related to pricing and production efficiency. This is computed by dividing gross profit by the total revenue for the period. The result is expressed in percentage.

3. Net Income Margin

Net income margin is the ratio of the Group’s net income for a given period. This is computed by dividing net income by the total revenue for the period. The result is expressed in percentage.

4. Return on Equity

Return on equity ratio is the ratio of the Group’s net income to equity. This measures the management’s ability to generate returns on their investments. This is computed by dividing net income by total equity.

5. Current Ratio

Current ratio is the ratio of the Group’s current resources and its current obligation. This is computed by dividing current assets by current liabilities.

6. Leverage Ratio

Below is the summary of Balance Sheet Accounts with more than 5% increase (decrease):

Percentage increase (decrease) September 30, 2018 vs. December 31, 2017 vs. December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents 33 (24) Receivables (18) 38 Inventories 32 47 Prepayments and other current assets 32 49 Available-for-sale investments 11 (16) Property, plant and equipment (11) 38 Deferred tax assets 38 (19) LIABILITIES Accounts payable and accrued expenses 15 38 Advances from customers (16) (55) Bank loans and finance lease liabilities (19) 267 Income tax payable (37) 103 Net pension liability (8) N/A Other noncurrent liabilities (31) 6

As of September 30, 2018 (09.30.18 vs. 12.31.17) Cash and cash equivalents increased due to cash flows generated from operations. Receivables decreased due to lower sales in Q3 2018 versus Q4 2017 which are most collected subsequently after the first 2 months of the next period. Inventories increased aligned with the booked orders as of end of Q3 2018. The increase in prepayments and other current assets was attributable to advance payments made to suppliers in line with the increase in purchase of materials. The increase in available-for-sale investments was due to additional investment to an Investee Company. Property and equipment decreased due to depreciation for the period. Deferred tax assets increased due to tax adjustments related to straight line valuation of rental income. The increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses is attributable to the accrual of 13th month pay of employees to be paid on Q4. The decrease in advances from customers was due to application of advance payments against receivable. Bank loans and finance lease liabilities decreased due to settlement of loans for the quarter. The decrease in income tax was due to payments on income tax for the last quarter of 2017 and first two (2) quarters of 2018. Net pension liability decreased due to retirement benefits paid and foreign currency revaluation. Other noncurrent liabilities decreased due to the amortization of security deposits during the year with no renewal of term. As of December 31, 2017 (12.31.17 vs. 12.31.16) The decrease in cash was primarily due to acquisition of machineries and equipment and raw materials. Receivables increased due to sales to a new customer. Inventories increased as a result of increasing customers order. The increase in prepayments and other current assets was attributable to advance payment made to suppliers in line with the increase in purchase of materials. AFS investments decrease due to impairment of investment in Pacific Synergies IV. Property and equipment increased due to acquisitions made during the period to invest the plant’s capacity. Deposits and others decreased due to foreign currency exchange revaluation and a refund of deposit from a utility company. Deferred tax assets decrease due to tax adjustments related to straight line valuation of rental income. The increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses is attributable to the purchase of raw materials. The decrease in advances from customer was due to application of advance payments against receivable. Bank loans and finance lease liability increased due to acquisition of machine under finance lease. The increase in income tax payable was due to increase in income tax for the period.

IONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Amounts in Thousands, Except Par Value per Share and Earnings per Share) 1. Corporate Information

Ionics, Inc. (the Parent Company) is a domestic corporation incorporated under the laws of the Philippines and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in September 1982 with a corporate life of 50 years. The Parent Company started commercial operations in July 1987 to engage in electronic manufacturing services business. In September 1999, the Parent Company transferred its primary manufacturing business to a majority owned subsidiary, Ionics EMS, Inc. (EMS), which was subsequently listed in the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (Singapore Exchange). Consequently, the Parent Company’s primary purpose was amended from a manufacturing company to a holding company. On February 25, 2000, EMS offered its shares of stock to the public and became publicly listed in the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (Singapore Exchange). Low daily turnover and low daily market capitalization prompted EMS to reconsider its continued listing in the Singapore Exchange. Consequently, on March 2, 2010, the EMS and the Parent Company jointly announced the proposed voluntary delisting of the EMS from the Singapore Exchange. The Parent Company offered to purchase common shares issued to the minority stockholders in compliance with the delisting proposal. Subsequently, the Parent Company acquired an additional 104,801,455 shares or 6.72% ownership on EMS. The registered office address of the Parent Company is Circuit Street, Light Industry and Science Park of the Philippines I, Bo. Diezmo, Cabuyao, Laguna.

The Parent Company is listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors (BOD) on November 9, 2018.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 of Ionics, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Group) have been prepared in accordance with Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements as at December 31, 2017.

Changes in Accounting Policies and Disclosures The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as of January 1, 2018. As required by PAS 34, the nature and effect of these changes are disclosed below. Several other new standards and amendments apply for the first time in 2018. However, they do not materially impact the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group. The nature and impact of each new standard and amendment is described below:

• Amendments to PFRS 2, Share-based Payment, Classification and Measurement of Share-

based Payment Transactions The amendments to PFRS 2 address three main areas: the effects of vesting conditions on the measurement of a cash-settled share-based payment transaction; the classification of a share-based payment transaction with net settlement features for withholding tax obligations; and the accounting where a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment transaction changes its classification from cash settled to equity settled. On adoption, entities are required to apply the amendments without restating prior periods, but retrospective application is permitted if elected for all three amendments and if other criteria are met. Early application of the amendments is permitted. The Group has assessed that the adoption of these amendments will not have any impact on the 2018 consolidated financial statements.

• PFRS 9, Financial Instruments

PFRS 9 reflects all phases of the financial instruments project and replaces PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, and all previous versions of PFRS 9. The standard introduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment, and hedge accounting. PFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Retrospective application is required but providing comparative information is not

Page 20: IONICS, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES QUARTERLY REPORT...Contact Person’s Address No.14 Mountain Drive, Light Industry and Science Park II, Brgy. La Mesa, Calamba, Laguna Note: In case of

20

compulsory. For hedge accounting, the requirements are generally applied prospectively, with some limited exceptions. The Group’s detailed impact assessment of the three aspects of PFRS 9: classification and measurement, impairment, and hedge accounting is still ongoing.

• PFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers PFRS 15 establishes a new five-step model that will apply to revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under PFRS 15, revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The principles in PFRS 15 provide a more structured approach to measuring and recognizing revenue. The new revenue standard is applicable to all entities and will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under PFRSs. Either a full retrospective application or a modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The recognition and measurement requirements in PFRS 15 also apply to gains or losses on disposal of nonfinancial assets (such as items of property and equipment and intangible assets), when that disposal is not in the ordinary course of business. The Group’s detailed assessment of the changes in the new revenue standard is ongoing. In addition, as the presentation and disclosure requirements in PFRS 15 are more detailed than under current PFRS, the Group is currently assessing what necessary changes it needs to make on its current systems, internal controls, policies and procedures to enable the Group to collect and disclose the required information.

• Amendments to PAS 28, Measuring an Associate or Joint Venture at Fair Value (Part of Annual Improvements to PFRSs 2014 - 2016 Cycle) The amendments clarify that an entity that is a venture capital organization, or other qualifying entity, may elect, at initial recognition on an investment-by-investment basis, to measure its investments in associates and joint ventures at fair value through profit or loss. They also clarify that if an entity that is not itself an investment entity has an interest in an associate or joint venture that is an investment entity, the entity may, when applying the equity method, elect to retain the fair value measurement applied by that investment entity associate or joint venture to the investment entity associate’s or joint venture’s interests in subsidiaries. This election is made separately for each investment entity associate or joint venture, at the later of the date on which (i) the investment entity associate or joint venture is initially recognized; (ii) the associate or joint venture becomes an investment entity; and (iii) the investment entity associate or joint venture first becomes a parent.

The amendments should be applied retrospectively and is effective on January 1, 2018, with earlier application permitted. The Group is currently assessing the potential effect of the amendments on its consolidated financial statements.

Page 21: IONICS, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES QUARTERLY REPORT...Contact Person’s Address No.14 Mountain Drive, Light Industry and Science Park II, Brgy. La Mesa, Calamba, Laguna Note: In case of

21

• Amendments to PAS 40, Investment Property, Transfers of Investment Property The amendments clarify when an entity should transfer property, including property under construction or development into or out of investment property. The amendments state that a change in use occurs when the property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investment property and there is evidence of the change in use. A mere change in management’s intentions for the use of a property does not provide evidence of a change in use. The amendments should be applied prospectively to changes in use that occur on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendments. Retrospective application is only permitted if this is possible without the use of hindsight. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Since the Group’s current practice is in line with the clarifications issued, the amendments do not have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.

• Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 22, Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration The interpretation clarifies that, in determining the spot exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) on the derecognition of a nonmonetary asset or nonmonetary liability relating to advance consideration, the date of the transaction is the date on which an entity initially recognizes the nonmonetary asset or nonmonetary liability arising from the advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, then the entity must determine a date of the transactions for each payment or receipt of advance consideration. Entities may apply the amendments on a fully retrospective basis. Alternatively, an entity may apply the interpretation prospectively to all assets, expenses, and income in its scope that are initially recognized on or after (i) the beginning of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the interpretation; or (ii) the beginning of a prior reporting period presented as comparative information in the financial statements of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the interpretation. Since the Group’s current practice is in line with the clarifications issued, the amendments do not have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

Risk Management Structure All policy directions, business strategies and management initiatives emanate from the BOD. The BOD convenes in quarterly meetings and in addition, is available to meet in the interim should the need arise. The Group has adopted internal guidelines setting forth matters that require BOD approval. Under the guidelines, all new investments, any increase in investment in business and subsidiary and any divestments require BOD approval. The normal course of the Group’s business exposes it to a variety of financial risks such as credit risk, liquidity risk and market risks which include equity price risk and foreign currency risk exposures.

Page 22: IONICS, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES QUARTERLY REPORT...Contact Person’s Address No.14 Mountain Drive, Light Industry and Science Park II, Brgy. La Mesa, Calamba, Laguna Note: In case of

The Group has various financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents, trade and non-trade receivables (excluding advances to officers and employees), AFS investments and refundable deposits. The Group’s principal financial liabilities consist of accounts payable and accrued expenses (excluding advances from investee and deferred rent), bank loans and finance lease liabilities, and security deposits (presented under other noncurrent liabilities). The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to raise funds for the Group’s operations.

The Group’s policies on managing the risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments follow: Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of loss resulting from the failure of a borrower or counterparty to perform its obligations during the life of the transaction. This includes the risk of non-payment by banks and customers, failed settlement of transactions and default on contracts. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposures to these credit risks are monitored on an ongoing basis. The Group’s credit risk management involves entering into arrangements only with counterparties with acceptable credit standing and that are duly approved by the BOD. The Group’s receivables are monitored on a regular basis resulting to insignificant exposure to bad debts. The Group does not hold any collateral from its customers thus, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, AFS investments and refundable deposits approximate the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk. No other financial assets carry a significant exposure to credit risk. The Group performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and makes provisions for impairment losses based on the outcome of its credit evaluations. Risk concentration of the maximum exposure to credit risk An industry sector analysis of the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is as follows:

September 30, December 31, 2018 2017

Banks and financial intermediaries US$13,219 US$9,948 Consumer electronics 5,303 2,853 Telecommunications (Telecom) 3,391 8,761 Computer peripherals 3,046 2,525 Automotive 409 712 Real estate 191 327 Others 801 768 Total US$26,360 US$25,894

The Group has concentration of credit risk due to sales to significant customers. The financial assets of the Group were more concentrated to banks and financial intermediaries, consumer electronics and telecom industries which accounted for 83.13% of the total financial assets as of September 30, 2018. While as of December 31, 2017, the Group’s assets are more concentrated to banks and financial intermediaries, telecom and computer electronics industries which accounted for 83.27% of the total financial assets. The Group’s financial instruments are broadly diversified along industry, product and geographic lines, and transactions are entered into with a range of counterparties, thereby mitigating any significant concentration of credit risk.

*Excludes cash on hand amounting to US$0.013 million ** Excludes nonfinancial assets amounting to US$0.076 million. *** Excludes nonfinancial assets amounting to US$0.066 million. The Group classifies credit quality risk as follows: Minimal risk - accounts with a high degree of certainty in collection, where counterparties have consistently displayed prompt settlement practices, and have little to no instance of defaults or discrepancies in payment.

Average risk - active accounts with minimal to regular instances of payment default, due to ordinary/common collection issues, but where the likelihood of collection is still moderate to high as the counterparties are generally responsive to credit actions initiated by the Group. High risk - accounts with a low probability of collection and can be considered impaired based on historical experience, where counterparties exhibit a recurring tendency to default despite constant reminder and communication, or even extended payment terms. The Group maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality. The Group’s policy is to invest with financial institution from which it has outstanding loans and loan facilities.

Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk of not being able to meet funding obligations such as the repayment of liabilities or payment of asset purchases. Short-term funding is obtained to finance cash requirements for capital expenditures and operations. Amount of credit lines are obtained from designated banks duly approved by the BOD. Surplus funds are placed with reputable banks to which the Group has outstanding loans and loan facilities. The Group’s policy is to regularly monitor its liquidity requirements and its compliance with lending covenants, to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash and highly liquid marketable securities and adequate committed lines of funding from major financial institutions to meet the short and longer term liquidity requirements of the Group.

The Group finances its cash requirements by tapping its available credit lines. Market Risk Market risk is the risk of loss to future earnings, to fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument as a result of changes in its price, caused by changes in interest rates, equity prices and foreign currency exchange rates and other market factors.

Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates. The Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments include cash in banks and bank loans. The Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Group follows a prudent policy in managing its assets and liabilities so as to ensure that exposure to fluctuation in interest rates are kept within acceptable limits. Equity price risk The Group’s equity price risk exposure at period-end relates to financial assets whose values will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, principally, quoted equity securities classified as AFS investments.

Quoted AFS investments are subject to price risk due to changes in market values of instruments arising either from factors specific to individual instruments or their issuers or factors affecting all instruments traded in the market.

The analysis below is performed for reasonably possible movements in the market index with all other variables held constant, showing the impact on equity both in September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Foreign currency risk Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group is exposed to currency risk primarily through purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Group. The currency giving rise to this risk is primarily Philippine Peso (P=) and Japanese Yen (¥). It is the Group’s policy not to trade in derivative contracts. In addition, the Group believes that its profile of foreign currency exposure on its assets and liabilities is within conservative limits in the type of business in which the Group is engaged.

The sensitivity analysis has been determined assuming that the change in foreign currency exchange rates has occurred at the reporting date and has been applied to each of the Group entities’ exposure to currency risk for financial instruments in existence at that date, and that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. The Group does not expect the impact of the volatility on other currencies to be material.

The stated changes represent management’s assessment of reasonably possible changes in foreign currency exchange rates over the period until the next annual reporting date. Results of the analysis as presented in the above table represent an aggregation of the effects on each of the entities’ income before tax measured in the respective functional currencies, translated into US Dollars at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date for presentation purposes.

4. Capital Management The Group’s primary objective in managing capital is to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk and by securing access to finance at a reasonable cost. The Group monitors capital using a leverage ratio, which is net debt divided by the sum of total equity and net debt. Net debt includes bank loans and trade and other payables less cash and cash equivalents. The Group’s policy is for its leverage ratio not to exceed 75%.

The leverage ratio as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 follows:

22. Fair Value Measurement The Group’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables (excluding advances to officers and employees), refundable deposits, AFS investments, accounts payable and accrued expenses, bank loans and finance lease liabilities and security deposits presented under other noncurrent liabilities. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their respective carrying values due to the short term maturities of these instruments.

The fair value of bank loans approximates its carrying value because these bank loans are subject to monthly/quarterly interest repricing based on market rate.

The estimated fair value of refundable deposits and security deposits represents the present value of the amount of estimated future cash flows expected to be collected or paid derived using the incremental borrowing rate of the Group for a similar loan. The fair value of the Group’s refundable deposits amounted to US$0.04 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The fair value of the Group’s security deposits amounted to US$0.50 million and US$0.49 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. These are included within Level 3 of the hierarchy. The fair value of AFS investments is determined using the market prices of the listed shares and the price of the most recent transaction for non-listed shares. Where the fair value of unquoted equity securities could not be reliably determined, the AFS investment is carried at cost, subject to impairment. The estimated fair values of finance lease liabilities represent the present value of the amount of estimated future cash flows expected to be collected or paid derived using the incremental borrowing rate of the Group for a similar loan. The fair value of the Group’s lease liabilities amounted to US$2.21 million and the carrying value amounted to US$2.22 million as of September 30, 2018. The fair value of the Group’s lease liabilities amounted to US$3.76 million and the carrying value amounted to US$3.73 million as of December 31, 2017. This is included within Level 3 of the hierarchy. AFS investments measured at fair value based on the quoted market bid prices are included within the Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. In 2018 and 2017, there were no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and no transfer into and out of the Level 3 category.
