CHAIRMAN'S COMMENTS ON SALES PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK
Regarding the Group's sales performance and outlook for the three months ended 31 March 2026, Mr. LU Ruibo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said, "Building on the sales growth momentum in the second half of 2025, Impro's sales growth continued to accelerate in the first quarter of 2026. Sales in the diversified industrials and aerospace, energy & medical sectors demonstrated strong resilience. End- markets related to artificial intelligence data centers including high horsepower engine, diversified industrials — others and energy recorded particularly robust sales performance in the first quarter. Sales in recreational boat and vehicles, aerospace, and construction equipment end-markets also increased significantly year-on-year in the first quarter. While the automotive sector continued to record negative growth in the first quarter, the commercial vehicle end-market has begun to show signs of recovery. However, geopolitical conflicts remain volatile and unpredictable, and factors such as Renminbi appreciation, as well as upfront hiring and training costs associated with production ramp-up, have posed significant challenges to the Group's operations. Meanwhile, demand from certain end-market customers is expected to strengthen in the second half of 2026 and in 2027, and the Company is currently assessing the certainty of these incremental demands. Taking into account the above factors together with the order backlog on hand, the Group has revised its full-year 2026 sales forecast upward to a year-on-year growth of $15\%$ to $20\%$ ."
