The Board of Directors (“ the Board ”) of the Company hereby informs the shareholders of the Company and prospective investors that, based on the information currently available to the Board, the loss attributable to the equity holders of the Company for the twelve months ended 31 December 2020 is expected to be RMB90.0 million to RMB105.0 million, comparing to a net profit of approximately RMB268.6 million attributable to the equity holders of the company for the year ended 31 December 2019. The management considers that the drop in net profit for 2020 was mainly due to: (1) the significant effect on the project executions of the Group in the overseas markets caused by the continuous global-wise spread of the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) Affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the drop in global oil price, key customers of the Group in the domestic market cut their project prices, which lowered project profits.

Business of the Group has achieved obvious improvement in the second half of 2020. Since 2021, along with the breakthroughs made on the research of the COVID-19 vaccines globally, and the vaccination carrying out, the pandemic is gradually coming under control, with the global economy gradually recovering and the oil prices having ramped-up. The Group will play fully to its advantages, seize the opportunity of industry recovery, and push forward its ecological platform-based development in pursuing a high-quality business growth.
