In response to the Company’s business strategy and market deployment adjustments, the broadcast licensing arrangements for the Major League Baseball (MLB) games and the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) have been updated as follows:

▪ MLB Games: Licensed to Eastern Broadcasting Co. (cable television platform) and to Chinese Television System (terrestrial television platform).
▪ WBC Games: Licensed to Eastern Broadcasting Co. (cable television platform) to broadcast all 47 games.

The Company had finalized and issued the licensing arrangement notifications to the relevant partner channels on November 17, and the above arrangements were finalized based on comprehensive commercial considerations.

For viewers watching through non-digital platforms, both of the above major events will be available on the authorized channels listed above, as we join together to embrace the excitement of the 2026 baseball season.

ELTA Technology [ELTA-TIB (8487)] held a meeting of its Board of Directors today and approved the financial statements for the third quarter of 2025. Consolidated revenue for the quarter reached NT$265 million, with after-tax net profit of NT$26.577 million and EPS of NT$1.00. Compared to the same period last year, results showed a slight decline, primarily due to the exceptional benefit generated from ELTA’s broadcast rights for the Paris Olympics in the previous year. From January to September, cumulative revenue reached NT$802 million, with after-tax net profit of NT$80.02 million and EPS of NT$3.02, fully aligning with the company’s operational objective of achieving “No Off-Season.”

In 2025, ELTA will offer an even broader and more competitive lineup of sports content, including MLB, Nippon Professional Baseball, the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL), BWF badminton, WTT table tennis, the NFL, major European football leagues, the Australian/French/Wimbledon Grand Slams, World Athletics flagship events, ISU figure skating, F1 racing, and various domestic grassroots competitions. Many of these rights are exclusive or Taiwan master broadcast rights. With more than 15,000 hours of live broadcasts annually, ELTA has built a stable and loyal base of viewers and subscribers. Long-term subscription users increased by 20%, becoming a key driver of sustained profitability.

Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, the excitement generated by the early November MLB World Series, together with growth in long-term OTT subscriptions, is expected to support stable profitability consistent with the performance of the first three quarters. Regarding the NBA broadcast rights issue, ELTA emphasized that it will not affect the company’s full-year operating results.

The year 2026 will be packed with major global sporting events—including the World Baseball Classic (WBC), the FIFA World Cup™, and the Asian Games—occurring in the same year for the first time. Historically, each of these events has contributed substantial growth momentum on top of ELTA’s existing operational base. Notably, these three events fall during key holiday or vacation periods—March (post-Lunar New Year), June (Dragon Boat Festival and summer break), and September (Mid-Autumn period)—and are expected to generate multiple peaks in viewership throughout the year. In addition, ELTA’s drama and variety programming continue to deliver steady ratings performance, contributing diversified revenue streams for the company.

To prepare for the influx of international sporting events in 2026, ELTA has launched a comprehensive upgrade of its primary and backup production control systems, integrating AI-powered technologies to enhance production quality and the viewer experience. These upgrades will strengthen ELTA’s ability to deliver high-standard, internationally aligned broadcast services. The company anticipates that these technological advancements will attract more subscribers, boost viewership ratings, and further enhance overall operating performance.

ELTA Technology (8487 – Innovation Board) was honored at the 22nd National Brand Yushan Awards Ceremony today (21st), receiving three major distinctions — the “National Grand Award,” the “Outstanding Enterprise Award,” and the “Outstanding Corporate Leader Award.” These recognitions highlight ELTA’s remarkable achievements and continuous breakthroughs in the fields of digital media, sports broadcasting, and content innovation. Vice President Bi-khim Hsiao personally presented the awards to ELTA Chairperson Sally Chen, acknowledging the company’s outstanding contributions to Taiwan’s media industry.



The National Brand Yushan Award is one of Taiwan’s most prestigious honors for excellence in quality and management. It recognizes enterprises and leaders that demonstrate exceptional performance in business management, technological innovation, corporate social responsibility, and sustainable development. In a highly competitive year, ELTA’s multiple wins not only affirm its leadership in media technology and the sports industry but also acknowledge its long-term commitment to brand value and innovation.

Since its founding, ELTA Technology has adhered to the core philosophy of “Innovation Leads, Quality First,” deeply cultivating the digital media and sports content industries. Through professional broadcast technology, rich programming, and innovative digital service platforms, the company has successfully built a diversified media ecosystem. In recent years, ELTA has further invested in OTT streaming and AI-driven video applications, delivering a smarter and more interactive viewing experience while solidifying its leadership position in Taiwan’s media technology landscape.



The awards also reflect ELTA’s strong and stable business performance in recent years. Even in a year without major international sporting events, the company’s earnings per share (EPS) for the first half of the year remained steady at NT$2.01, demonstrating the success of its robust operations and flexible market strategies. Looking ahead, with three major international sports events on the horizon — the World Baseball Classic in March, the FIFA World Cup in June, and the Asian Games in September — ELTA has already launched a comprehensive upgrade of its main and backup broadcast systems while integrating AI technology to enhance production quality and viewer experience, setting new benchmarks for international broadcasting standards.



In addition, ELTA Technology has long prioritized corporate social responsibility, actively promoting domestic sports development and professional talent cultivation, while implementing green operations and sustainable management. The leadership team’s long-term vision has guided the company through challenges with resilience and foresight, continuously creating opportunities for sustainable growth.

Regarding the double honors received at the National Brand Yushan Awards, Chairperson Sally Chen stated: “This recognition represents the highest affirmation of our team’s long-term efforts.” Looking forward, ELTA will continue to focus on innovation and quality content, deepen international collaborations, expand diversified markets, and inject new momentum into Taiwan’s digital media industry — while upholding its commitment to sustainable business practices through concrete action.

Regarding ELTA TV’s latest broadcast arrangements, please find the following announcement:

1. ELTA TV confirms that it has not obtained the new season (2025–26) broadcasting rights for the NBA. Beginning this season, NBA games will no longer be broadcast on ELTA platforms. We sincerely thank the NBA organization for its support and cooperation over the past decade, during which ELTA and the NBA created many memorable broadcasting moments together. We wish the NBA and all basketball fans continued passion and enjoyment of the sport.

2. ELTA TV will continue to deliver a wide variety of exciting sports content. Starting in November, audiences can still enjoy the HBL High School Basketball League, BWF World Badminton Tour, WTT Table Tennis Tour, Premier League / Serie A / Bundesliga / UEFA Champions League football, ISU Figure Skating Series, and NFL regular season, playoffs, and Super Bowl—all available across ELTA’s platforms. More domestic and international sports events will also be introduced soon.

3. In 2026, ELTA plans to broadcast over 15,000 hours of live sports content throughout the year, including three major international events: the World Baseball Classic in March, the FIFA World Cup™ in June, and the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games in September, as well as MLB Major League Baseball. ELTA holds the exclusive Taiwan broadcasting rights for all three global tournaments, making it the only network in the country to possess simultaneous rights for these top-tier events.

We sincerely invite our valued subscribers to continue supporting and encouraging ELTA as we witness more historic sports moments together.

At the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Forum held today (15th), Ernst & Young Taiwan Managing Partner Wen-Fang Fu stated that this year’s theme, “Smart Strategies, Cross-Boundary Breakthroughs,” highlights how the young entrepreneurs nominated for the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Award are seizing emerging technology trends, adapting to global changes, and leading through cross-industry collaboration with excellence and vision.

When Taiwan was still in the dial-up internet era, ELTA Technology Chairperson Sally Chen foresaw that “the internet would become the future of television” and founded ELTA based on that belief. Leveraging her extensive experience in system integration and technology, along with keen insight into media transformation, she courageously entered the then-uncharted world of online video. Despite numerous crises over the years—including investors withdrawing capital and live broadcast interruptions—she successfully led the company’s evolution from a VOD internet TV model to strategic partnerships with telecom operators. In 2008, during the Beijing Olympics, ELTA became the world’s first company to obtain new media broadcasting rights for the Olympics, establishing itself as a pioneer in digital sports broadcasting.



During the forum, Chairperson Sally Chen stated: “Empowering sports broadcasting with AI is the future trend. It enhances viewer excitement and emotion while using technology and artificial intelligence to preserve every thrilling moment as a lasting memory. This not only strengthens our brand influence but also builds stronger emotional connections with audiences. We want fans to think of ELTA whenever they watch the World Baseball Classic, the FIFA World Cup, or when they see Taiwanese athletes winning medals at the Asian Games.”

Dear subscribers, regarding ELTA TV’s recent broadcast plans, please find the latest announcement below:

1. Since the establishment of ELTA Sports Channel, ELTA has accumulated over ten years of experience broadcasting the NBA on both IPTV and OTT platforms. The broadcast authorization officially expired after the conclusion of the 2024–25 season.

2. ELTA TV has long regarded the NBA as one of its key broadcast properties, providing subscribers with daily live games throughout each season. Due to significant increases in international licensing fees, securing sports broadcast rights has become increasingly challenging. ELTA TV is currently in commercial negotiations with the NBA for a new broadcast agreement.

During this period, ELTA will continue to engage sincerely with the rights holder, striving to bring thrilling NBA coverage back to its platforms as its top priority.

3. We sincerely thank all subscribers for their continued support and feedback on ELTA’s NBA coverage. Our sports broadcasting lineup remains strong — beginning in November, ELTA will deliver exciting events including the HBL High School Basketball League, BWF World Badminton Tour, WTT Table Tennis Tour, Premier League / Serie A / Bundesliga / UEFA Champions League football, ISU Figure Skating Series, NFL regular season / playoffs / Super Bowl, and more. Additional domestic and international sporting events will also be introduced.

4. Looking ahead to 2026, ELTA plans to provide over 15,000 hours of broadcast coverage throughout the year, including three major global events — the World Baseball Classic (March), the FIFA World Cup (June), and the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games (September) — along with the MLB Major League Baseball season. ELTA has secured the exclusive Taiwan broadcasting rights for all three flagship events and remains the only network in Taiwan to hold such comprehensive coverage rights.

We sincerely invite our valued subscribers to continue supporting and encouraging ELTA.

ELTA Technology (8487-INN) participated in the Taiwan Stock Exchange’s Innovation Board Institutional Investor Conference to present its 2025 first-half business overview. Maintaining its strategy of “strong off-season, booming peak season,” ELTA achieved cumulative revenue of NT$432 million from January to May, marking a 22.38% increase compared to NT$353 million during the same period last year. The surge was driven by strong viewership in sports broadcasting. With exclusive MLB broadcasting rights in Taiwan and a focus on ten major sports events, ELTA achieved record ratings and continues to invest in advanced sports technology broadcasting.

In preparation for the global sports broadcasting boom in 2026, ELTA has already secured exclusive rights for the 2026 World Baseball Classic and announced today that it has also obtained the Taiwan broadcasting rights for the FIFA World Cup 2026™ and the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. These three flagship events are expected to generate significant revenue momentum in 2026. Chairperson Sally Chen stated: “Since 2010, ELTA has been deeply connected with football broadcasting, having aired tens of thousands of hours of world-class matches. We have become Taiwan’s leading brand in football coverage. For the upcoming World Cup, ELTA will introduce the best commentary team and integrate entertainment-driven broadcast technology to provide an immersive viewing experience.”

“Securing exclusive broadcasting rights for three consecutive Asian Games is not only an honor but also a responsibility. We will uphold our professional and passionate approach to deliver an extraordinary sports festival for Taiwanese viewers. From production to promotion, ELTA will continue its mission to ensure that every highlight of Taiwan’s athletes is seen and celebrated.”

Looking ahead to the second half of 2025 and throughout 2026, ELTA will continue to collaborate closely with its major partner Chunghwa Telecom, deepening its sports broadcasting presence while introducing international tournaments and promoting local grassroots events. With the establishment of the Ministry of Sports, Taiwan’s sports industry is expected to experience exponential growth. AI innovation and sports technology will further enhance the viewing experience, while the use of AI tools will improve operational efficiency and reduce costs. OTT streaming continues its strong upward trend, accelerating digital content consumption.

At the same time, ELTA plans to expand its existing 3-million-follower base into a new e-commerce ecosystem, building a comprehensive model that integrates “content, community, and commerce.” This aligns with ELTA’s long-term “year-round, no off-season” strategy, designed to drive sustainable growth and reinforce its operational model ahead of the 2026 sports broadcasting boom.

ELTA Technology (8487-INN) recently announced its 2024 financial results, reporting revenue of NT$1.489 billion, a substantial 53.82% increase compared to NT$968 million in 2023. Net profit after tax reached NT$179 million, up 31.62% from NT$136 million in the previous year, with earnings per share (EPS) hitting a record high of NT$6.85. This demonstrates that ELTA’s long-term focus on sports broadcasting has been well recognized by both users and investors, leading to robust profitability.

ELTA also announced that in 2025 it plans to distribute a cash dividend of NT$5.2 per share, representing a payout ratio of approximately 76%, continuing its tradition of maintaining a “high-dividend” policy. Based on the closing price on the day of the board meeting, this represents a cash dividend yield of 7.1%. After its listing on the Taiwan Innovation Board in March 2024 under the “Digital Cloud Industry” category, initial trading activity was limited due to qualified investor restrictions. However, since the removal of those restrictions in January 2025, trading volume has significantly increased. With improved liquidity, ELTA’s stock price is expected to better reflect its true value.

ELTA has long specialized in sports broadcasting, with Chunghwa Telecom’s MOD service as its core revenue base, while successfully capturing the shift in audience behavior toward OTT streaming. As a result, both revenue and profit have reached new highs in recent years, establishing ELTA as a successful new-media business model. With the government’s focus on promoting the sports industry following the establishment of the Ministry of Sports, ELTA is poised to benefit as a leading company in sports broadcasting.

Notably, ELTA is not only known for broadcasting major sporting events such as the WBSC Premier12, the World Baseball Classic (WBC), and the Olympic gold medal match of badminton duo Lee Yang and Wang Chi-Lin, but also for its dedication to promoting local sports. ELTA was the only network to broadcast both the Paris Paralympics and the Asian Winter Games, ensuring that Taiwan’s athletes received visibility and recognition. It has also strengthened its production capabilities in local sports coverage—from in-house professional baseball broadcasts to grassroots events on ELTA Sports 4, and even managing both international and customized local signal production for major global events like the WBC Qualifiers. This dual-path production capability once again reflects ELTA’s comprehensive, full-scale investment in sports broadcasting, driven by its commitment to capturing “the attention economy.”

Looking ahead to 2025, ELTA will continue its strong partnership with Chunghwa Telecom to expand sports broadcasting, introduce more international tournaments, and promote domestic grassroots competitions. This year, ELTA has secured the exclusive MLB broadcasting rights in Taiwan and will air up to 10 live games daily, as well as the full media broadcasting rights for the TSG Hawks in the CPBL. With a foundation built on ten major sports properties—including BWF badminton tournaments, WTT table tennis tours, the French Open, and multiple flagship football leagues—ELTA will also expand collaboration with other distribution platforms to better serve sports fans nationwide. This supports ELTA’s “Year-Round, No Off-Season” programming strategy, further fueling industry growth and solidifying a sustainable, long-term operational model ahead of another major sports year in 2026.

In addition to strengthening its leadership in sports broadcasting, ELTA is actively expanding into entertainment and drama programming. ELTA General Channel and ELTA Drama Channel continue to acquire popular series and animations each season from mainland China, South Korea, and Japan. Notable premieres include The Double, Nine Layers of Purple, In the Palm, Splendid Season, Filter, Her Story, Only for Love, and FACE ME. High-rated classics such as Goblin and Mr. Queen have also been featured, alongside hit Japanese dramas and anime like Doctor-X and Demon Slayer. These efforts aim to meet audience demand, boost viewership time, enhance user engagement, and strengthen ELTA’s foothold in the entertainment content market.

ELTA TV Chairperson Sally Chen stated, “In 2025, ELTA will continue to expand its baseball broadcasting portfolio.

Organized by Major League Baseball (MLB), the World Baseball Classic is the most prestigious and globally popular international baseball tournament. A hallmark of the WBC is that MLB 40-man roster players are eligible to participate, making it one of the strongest competitions in the world. ELTA, long committed to broadcasting domestic and international baseball events, once again brings this world-class tournament to Taiwan, offering professional, seamless coverage to fans as part of its ongoing mission to build the ultimate “Baseball Broadcasting Platform.”

Team Taiwan Prepares for Qualification Glory
Battle at Taipei Dome Against the World’s Best
