Operational Outlook

The following statements about future prospects are based on expectations of the current situation, but at the same time subject to known or unknown risks or uncertainties. Please refer to the attached "Disclaimer".

w   Benefiting from the gradual decline of COVID-19 cases in mainland China, the company's major customer locations such as the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta and other regions have been gradually lifting their travel restrictions. Thus our shipment volume in the second quarter increased significantly, and idle inventory volume decreased as well. Only the gross profit margin is limited by the fact that the market price of raw materials and consumables is still high and the company's increasing of selling prices generally comes a few months after the increase in production costs. Therefore, the gross profit margin only increased slightly by 2%.

In addition to increasing selling prices and actively developing new customers in high-margin industries, we will also focus on improving production line automation and prepare for the increasing demand of large-scale industrial machineries, adding energy conservation and environmental protection measure in our facilities, and focusing on new, higher-margin markets that traditional foundries cannot enter. These new market includes offshore wind turbines, large-scale machinery and equipment, and demand from major European and American manufacturers that are concerned about their carbon footprint. According to the current market environment, the prices of major raw materials has seen notable declines, which is expected to allow improvement in our profitability.

w   Looking forward to the third quarter, mainland China has introduced a series of stimulus policies to boost economic performance and we may benefit from the government's demand for orders from industries related to infrastructure and livelihood projects. Provincial government investment subsidies for renewables or water conservancy-related projects will allow the market demand for wind power products, large valves, and other machinery castings to increase.

In addition, although various parts of mainland China are being hit by record-breaking high temperatures and droughts, government policies have clearly stated the guiding principle of protecting people's livelihood as a priority, leading to planned power outages and production restrictions in many industries. However, we are actively adjusting the working schedule of the production line, by changing employee shifts, holiday schedules, and implementing heatstroke prevention to minimize the impact to production output.

In the future, our electricity consumption will adopt more renewables to levels exceeding the policy requirements, in order to be more competitive than other foundries in the future when carbon taxes in Europe and the United States are levied against imports.

In conclusion, we are cautiously optimistic about the shipment performance in the third quarter, as we expect a slight increase compared with that in the second quarter.
