MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

.ANALYSIS OF THE COMPANY’S OPERATION

1. Overall operation of the Company

During the Reporting Period, the performance of domestic white goods market remained sluggish. According to the statistics of China Market Monitor Company Limited (CMM), as at June 2016, the cumulative retail volume of the refrigerator industry declined by 9.29% and its cumulative retail amount decreased by 7.78% year-to-year, the cumulative retail volume of the air-conditioner industry decreased by 6.74% and its cumulative retail amount decreased by 5.84% year-to-year. The overseas market has picked up. According to the Customs statistics, the export volume of the refrigeration industry in the first half of 2016 increased by 11.50% year-to-year, and the export volume of the air-conditioning industry increased by 19.70% year-to-year.

During the Reporting Period, the Company insisted on the operating directions of “adhering to high-end awareness, highlighting product advantages, consolidating market network, enhancing system efficiency and exploring international market” formulated at the beginning of the year to implement various tasks. The Company recorded operating revenue of RMB 13123 million, representing a year-to-year decrease of 3.59%, and principal operating revenue of RMB 12161 million, representing a year-to-year decrease of 2.62%. Among these, the revenue from the refrigerator and washing machine business accounted for 49.68% of the principal operating revenue, representing a year-to-year decrease of 1.55%; revenue from the air-conditioner business accounted for 44.54% of the principal operating revenue, representing a year-to-year decrease of 6.49%; the domestic sales business recorded a principal operating revenue of RMB 7533 million, representing a year-to-year decrease of 10.36%, whereas the export sales business recorded a principal operating revenue of RMB 4628 million, representing a year-to-year increase of 13.32%.

During the Reporting Period, the Company adhered to implement various efficiency enhancement, cost reduction and product popularity projects formulated at the beginning of the year. The inventory turnover of the Company’s refrigerators accelerated by 13 days year-to-year by strongly reducing inventory occupancy and accelerating inventory turnover. In addition, as the technology and products of smart home appliances and smart living industry are gradually maturing and users are getting more and more experienced in

  • 11 -

using them, the market scale can hopefully expand rapidly. With the technological advantages and operation experience gained by Hisense Group in smart television system and operation platform, the Company will strive for a rapid growth in the scale of its smart home appliances and smart living operation.

2. Refrigerators and washing machines business

During the Reporting Period, the refrigerators and washing machines business of the Company adhered to the “spirit of craftsmanship”, followed the concept of “providing good refrigerators for Chinese families”, as well as insisted on enhancing the product quality, intelligence level and user experience. The Company launched the “ Beiduofen+ (倍多分+)” cross French-door refrigerator series with exquisite appearance, large capacity and new intelligent control system”, which won the 2016 China Household Electrical Appliance Product Prize (中國家電艾普蘭產品獎). By enhancing its variety of high-end cross door refrigerator products, our product sales structure has gradually improved with a further increase in gross profit margin and profitability of the products. According to the statistics of CMM, the market share of the Company in the cross door refrigerator retail volume in the first half of 2016 increased by 5.04 percentage points year-to-year; the gross profit margin of the Company’s refrigerators and washing machines business also significantly increased by 3.34 percentage points. Moreover, the Company emphasized on developing sports marketing by grasping the opportunity of Hisense Group becoming the global sponsor of UEFA European Football Championship 2016. “Quality assurance for Ronshen refrigerators” first appeared in the major international sports event, which greatly enhanced the image of our brand and the Company. The operating quality of the refrigerators and washing machines business was continuously improved by enhancing product competiveness, optimizing the product structure and improving internal fundamental management on an ongoing basis.

3. Air-conditioner business

During the Reporting Period, our air-conditioner business continued to focus on product intelligentization and differentiation and further enhanced the product competiveness by upgrading intelligent products and pursuing technological innovation. The Company launched different types of differentiating products such as a new model of “Xuanzhuan (炫轉)” air-conditioner, “Pearl (珍珠)” air-conditioner with beauty function and UEFA European Football Championship commemorative model “Little Fighter ( 小炫風 )” air-conditioner to improve user experience by enhancing smart function. In the 2016 Cold Air-conditioning Industry Summit and China Intelligent Air Conditioning Forum (2016 冷 年空調產業高峰會暨中國智能空調高峰論壇), Hisense’s “Pearl” air-conditioner won the Innovative Product Award in the air-conditioning industry with its advanced intelligent technology and product creativity. In respect of export, by implementing strategies like sports marketing and actively adjusting product structure as well as increasing overseas marketing effort of inverter products, the growth of air-conditioning products of the Company remained higher than the industry growth. According to the Customs export

  • 12 -

statistics, the export volume of the Company’s air-conditioning products in the first half of 2016 increased by 30.9% year-to-year, which was higher than the industry growth level of 19.7%. The operating quality of the Company’s air-conditioning business was improved by enhancing product competiveness, optimizing the product structure and improving internal fundamental management on an ongoing basis. During the Reporting Period, the decline of the gross profit margin of the Company’s air-conditioning business in 2015 was overturned and its gross profit margin significantly increased by 2.08 percentage points.

4. Outlook

Looking ahead to the second half of 2016, the continuous high temperature across the nation during July and August allows the air conditioner industry to digest and clear its stock. The substantial drop in the stock level of the Company and within the industry is favourable to the beginning of a new air conditioner production year and to the creation of a virtuous cycle in the market. It is expected that the air conditioner industry will not repeat the passive situation it suffered at the second half of 2015 when the stock of the industry as a whole stayed at a high level. The Company will seize this golden opportunity in the industry and in the market and will commit to perform the following tasks to ensure our operation will be steadily enhanced:

Marketing: Increasing the marketing effort of high-end products and increasing its proportion; optimizing customer structure and enhancing the gross profit margin of products; actively adjusting the product structure in order to accelerate the enhancement of the quality of overseas market expansion.

Channel management: Maintaining building of the best management team; enlarging the three-tier to four-tier core network coverage; expanding the network of core stores; improving the channel network quality; enhancing the ability of online operation and increasing the scale and proportion of e-commerce.

Enhancing customers’ satisfaction: Further improving product quality and raising the service standards such as specification, timeliness and skills; improving the service quality and enhancing customers’ satisfaction.

System improvement: Improving system with the key strategy of “improving marketing efficiency”; continuing to ensure enhancement of manufacturing efficiency by implementing measures such as automation, universalness and information technology.
