3 Directors' Report

3.1 Discussion and Analysis of Operations

In 2024, the world economy experienced a moderate growth; the PRC economy was overall stable and steadily progressed, with a year-on-year increase of 5.0% in the gross domestic product (“GDP”). The international crude oil market remained generally loose in terms of supply and demand, and the international crude oil prices first rose and then dropped, with a small decline for the average price compared to the same period of the previous year; the international natural gas prices further dropped. The competition in domestic refined oil products market became fiercer, and the consumption in the natural gas market maintained a rapid growth.

Proactively reacting to the international and domestic macroeconomics conditions and the change of market conditions of the oil and gas market and chemical products market, the Group vigorously strengthened exploration and development, endeavored to achieve an increase in reserves and production, further enhanced the transformation and upgrading of refining and chemical business, timely adjusted the production plan, continuously optimized the product structure. The Group kept increasing the quality of its marketing efforts, strived to market expansion, deeply promoted improvements in both quality and profitability, continuously strengthened the profit-making capacity of the production chains of oil and gas. The Group steadily implemented green and low carbon transformation, proactively strategized business layout in emerging industries, continued to strengthen quality and effectiveness of environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) initiatives. In 2024, the average realized price for crude oil of the Group was USD74.70 per barrel, representing a decrease of 2.5% as compared with USD76.60 per barrel for last year; the Group achieved a revenue of RMB2,937.981 billion; through enhancing the output and sales volume of oil and natural gas, improving the product structure of refined oil and chemicals, refining market strategies, insisting on adopting low-cost strategic development measures, and continuously enhancing the resilience of industrial chains, the profit attributable to owners of the Company was RMB164.684 billion, representing an increase of 2.0% as compared with RMB161.416 billion for last year and reaching a historical high again; the Group realized free cash flows of RMB104.352 billion, maintaining a high level above 100 billion; the structure of assets and liabilities was further optimized, and the financial position of the Group remained healthy and stable.

3.1.1 Market Review

(1) Crude Oil Market

In 2024, the continuous conflicts featuring in geopolitics, the slowing economic growth and the accelerated development of alternative new energy led to a weak demand, thus the international oil prices moderately decreased as compared with last year. The annual average spot price of North Sea Brent crude oil was USD80.76 per barrel, representing a decrease of 2.3% as compared with last year; the annual average spot price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil was USD75.87 per barrel, representing a decrease of 2.3% compared with last year.

Statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics showed that the domestic crude oil production of industrial enterprises above designated scale was 212.82 million tons in 2024, representing an


increase of 1.8% as compared with last year.

(2) Refined Oil Products Market

In 2024, new energy vehicles, liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) heavy trucks created substitution effects on consumption pattern of domestic refined oil products. The demand and supply of the refined oil products market was loose, and the market competition became fiercer. Supervision on the industry strengthened and market conditions improved continuously.

Statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics showed that in 2024, the domestic crude oil processing volume of industrial enterprises above designated scale was 708.43 million tons, representing a decrease of 1.6% as compared with last year. The price trend of domestic refined oil products remained consistent with the changes in the international oil prices. The PRC adjusted the domestic prices of gasoline and diesel 18 times in 2024. The prices of gasoline and diesel standard products decreased, in aggregate, by RMB130 per ton and by RMB125 per ton, respectively.

(3) Chemical Products Market

In 2024, the demand for chemical products in the market experienced a steady recovery, while the growth of the supply remained rapid, the supply and demand were loose and production profits shrunk. The chemical products industry remained in a period of low level of the business cycle.

(4) Natural Gas Market

In 2024, the demand for the global natural gas market resumed growth with ample resource supply, and the basic factors of supply and demand tended to be loose continuously. Geopolitical and conflict risks remained but exerted weaker effect. International gas prices further dropped. Domestic natural gas consumption maintained a rapid growth.

Statistics from National Bureau of Statistics and National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”) showed that in 2024, the output of domestic natural gas was 246.4 billion cubic meters, representing an increase of 6.2% as compared with last year; the import volume of natural gas was 131.69 million tons (1 ton approximately equals to 1,380 cubic meters), representing an increase of 9.9% as compared with last year; and the apparent consumption of natural gas was 426.05 billion cubic meters, representing an increase of 8% as compared with last year.

5.1.1 Major impact of changes in CAS

In 2024, the Group has adopted the following revised accounting requirements and guidance under CASs newly issued by the Ministry of Finance (“MOF”).

Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current in CAS Bulletin No. 17 (Caikuai [2023] No. 21) (“CAS Bulletin No. 17”).

According to CAS Bulletin No. 17, only the Group’s substantive right to defer the settlement of liabilities for more than one year after the balance sheet date (“the right to defer the settlement of liabilities”) is considered when classifying the liquidity of liabilities; the subjective possibility of exercising the above right is not considered.

For liabilities arising from the Group’s loan arrangements, if the Group’s right to defer the settlement of liabilities is subject to compliance with covenants specified in the loan arrangements (“covenants”), only the covenants on or before the balance sheet date when classifying the liquidity of liabilities are considered; the effect of covenants after the balance sheet date is not considered.

If the Group settles its liabilities by delivering its own equity instruments at the option of the counterparty and classifies the above options as equity instruments and recognizes them separately as the equity component of a compound financial instrument in accordance with CAS 37- Presentation of Financial Instruments, there will be no effect on the classification of the liquidity of the liabilities. However, there will be effects on the classification if the above options cannot be classified as equity instruments.

The adoption of this requirement does not have a significant effect on the financial position and financial performance of the Group.
