Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

The diesel engine business in China is significantly influenced by the performance of the Chinese and the global economy. Adverse economic developments in China or in the global economy could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects.

Our operations and performance are significantly influenced by economic factors in China such as GDP growth, industrial output, consumer spending and trade dynamics. These factors influence not only the demand for our products in various sectors, but also our cost of production, supply chain resilience and strategic investment capability.

The interconnectivity of the global economy amplifies these risks. Economic events and trends in major markets like the United States and Europe, as well as emerging economies in the Asia-Pacific region, can impact the economic and industrial conditions in China. Fluctuations in the global economy can lead to volatility in the price of raw materials and energy. Trade tensions, geopolitical instability, and evolving regulatory or environmental policies in these markets can disrupt supply chains, shift consumer preferences, and create ripple effects on global trade flows and economic activities, ultimately influencing demand for our products sold both in China and overseas.

The performance of the Chinese economy affects, to a significant degree, our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects. Adverse changes in the Chinese and global economy, such as slowing GDP growth, reduced industrial output, or declining customer confidence, could increase costs associated with product development, decrease the availability of potential sources of financing, raise financing costs, and increase our exposure to material losses from our investments. Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and operating results.

The diesel engine business in China is significantly influenced by government policies. As a result, our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects could be adversely affected by changes in government policies in China.

Government policies significantly influence various aspects of our business and our industry, including productions, emission regulations, subsidies, and market demand. Government policies in China regarding emissions standards and fuel efficiency requirements directly impact the design, production, and sale of engines, as well as market demand for new energy products. These policies serve as the framework within which we operate, and directly influence our strategies and activities across various aspects of our business. Changes in these policies could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, business, or prospects.

In recent years, the Chinese government has prioritized energy conservation and carbon reduction, exemplified by its commitment to achieving peak carbon emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. This has led to the introduction of policies that de-emphasize traditional engines, such as diesel engines, and encourage increased use of cleaner energy alternatives. Such changes have adversely impacted our financial condition and market position. Compliance with stringent emission and fuel efficiency standards requires significant investment in advanced technologies to optimize engine performance while minimizing environmental impacts.

Government policies influence market demand by shaping economic conditions, infrastructure development, and investment in transportation sectors. For instance, policies promoting construction of highways, railways, and ports can drive demand for heavy-duty vehicles powered by engines, while subsidies or incentives for agricultural machinery can boost our sales in the agricultural sector. The government incentive schemes have, directly or indirectly, contributed to our overall engine sales in the past. However, government policies are subject to change, and we cannot guarantee our continuous compliance with or benefit from the government policies.

We depend on and expect to continue to depend on our largest customers for a significant percentage of our sales.

Sales to our top five customers accounted for 35.5% of our total revenue in 2025. Although we consider our relationship with our top customers to be good, the loss of one or more of our top customers, whether singly or combined together, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects.

Our dependency on purchases made by our top customers exposes us to risks associated with their liquidity, market position, and purchasing decisions. Any adverse changes in their financial stability, market position, or purchasing patterns could adversely impact our sales volume and revenue. We cannot assure you that our top customers will be able to continue purchasing the same volume of products from us, purchase products at the same price, or fulfil all payment obligations, failing of which would reduce our overall sales volume and adversely affect our revenue or collections. In addition, fluctuations in the economic environment or industry-specific challenges may lead to reduced demand from these major customers, further intensifying the risks.

Table of Contents

Our top customer is a leading automobile manufacturer group in China. In 2025, sales to our top customer as a group accounted for 17.1% of our total revenue, of which 8.7% was attributable to a single entity within the group. Although we believe that the companies within our top customer’s group generally make independent purchasing decisions based on end-user preferences, we cannot assure you that manufacturers associated with our top customer will not preferentially purchase engines manufactured by companies within their own group or from our competitors over those manufactured by us.

Competition from other diesel engine manufacturers may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects.

The diesel engine industry in China is highly competitive, with several factors contributing to this competitive landscape:

•improvement in competitors’ products;

•increased production capacity of competitors;

•increased utilization of idle capacity by competitors;

•price competition;

•increased emphasis on new energy power systems; and

•consolidations in the diesel engine industry.

The diesel engine industry in China is characterized by intense competition among a few dominant domestic players and established international joint ventures. Leading manufacturers possess significant economies of scale, vertically integrated supply chains, and extensive distribution networks. While these factors exert persistent downward pressure on market pricing, competition is also driven by a range of additional factors, including product quality and performance, brand recognition and reputation, marketing and promotional strategies, pricing practices and discounting, and the ability to provide timely and comprehensive after-sales service and technical support. As we and our competitors compete for market share, actions taken by us or our competitors or competitive pressures in the market could adversely impact our revenues, margins and overall profitability. An increase in competition as a result of these various factors, operating singly or together, may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects as a result of lower gross margins, higher fixed costs or decreasing market share.

Our long-term business prospects will depend largely upon our ability to develop and introduce new and improved products in response to market demands at competitive prices. Our competitors in the diesel engine markets may be able to introduce new or improved products that are more favorably received by customers. Competition in the end-user markets could also lead to technological improvements and advances that render our current products obsolete earlier than expected, in which case we may have to depreciate or impair our production equipment more rapidly than planned. Failure to introduce or delays in the introduction of new or improved products at competitive prices could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects.

In certain markets and product categories, our competitors include our customers and their affiliates. In 2025, our sales to our top five customers accounted for 35.5% of our total revenue, with our top customer being a leading automobile manufacturer group in China that also competes with us.

Any consolidations or alliances in our industry may result in higher competition for us from the resulting larger companies. Concentration within our industry, or other potential moves by our competitors, could improve their competitive position and market share and may exert further pricing pressure on us. Any consolidation or alliances in our industry involving our key suppliers or customers may adversely affect our existing relationships and arrangements with them. The loss of one or more of our key suppliers or customers due to consolidation in our industry or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We engage in transactions with related parties from time to time. Such transactions present possible conflicts of interest and could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have entered and may in the future enter into transactions with related parties. Transactions with related parties present potential for conflicts of interest, as the interests of related parties may not align with the interests of our shareholders. We cannot assure you that our transactions with related parties were or will be entered into on terms as favorable to us as comparable transactions that we could enter with unaffiliated third parties. These transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations or may result in litigation.

China’s vehicle and machinery industries are increasing their momentum to new energy applications. This may lead to a decrease in demand for our engines, affecting our business volume and profitability.

China has set targets to reduce carbon emissions and enhance energy efficiency, which has led to increased support for the development and adoption of electric vehicles (“EVs”), hybrid vehicles, and other alternative energy technologies such as hydrogen powered and fuel cell solutions (collectively referred to as new energy vehicles, “NEVs,” and new energy power systems). According to the New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan (2021 - 2035), China aims for NEVs to account for 20% of total vehicle sales by 2025 and for the country to become a global leader in NEV technology by 2035. A series of policies and measures have been implemented to achieve these targets, including subsidies for NEV purchases, tax incentives, and investment in charging infrastructure. Beyond the automotive sector, China is also accelerating the green transition in off-road machinery, including construction and agricultural equipment. In 2026, China has transitioned into its 15th Five-Year-Plan. The 15th Five-Year-Plan, covering 2026 to 2030, prioritizes “New Quality Productive Forces” and a mandatory green and low-carbon transition, and sets a binding target to reduce carbon emission per unit of GDP by 17% by 2030.

These developments underscore the importance of strategic alignment with China’s evolving power systems landscape by accelerating our research and development into new energy technologies and hydrogen power systems for on- and off-road applications. The foregoing policies require us to effectively adapt to these regulatory changes, while managing competitive pressures and shifting market preferences. Given that internal combustion engines account for the majority of our sales volume, failure to effectively respond to these trends could adversely impact our market position, financial performance, and long-term prospects in China’s vehicle and off-road machinery industries. If the market for new energy solutions develops more quickly than we expect, or in directions we do not anticipate, additional competition resulting from these developments could reduce demand for our products, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. For information on Yuchai’s new energy products, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – B. Business Overview – Products and Key Product Development — Yuchai – New Energy Products.”

If we are not able to continually improve our existing engine products and develop new engine products or successfully enter into other markets, we may become less competitive, and our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects will be adversely affected.

Given the highly competitive nature and ongoing evolution of the diesel engine industry in China, we will have to continually improve our existing engine products, develop new products and enter into new markets in order to remain competitive. Our long-term business prospects largely depend upon our ability to develop and introduce new or improved products at competitive prices and enter into new local and overseas markets. These future products, including alternate fuels combustion engines, may utilize different technologies and require market expertise beyond our current scope. We have dedicated substantial resources to improving our product technology, ensuring their competitiveness in the market. Yuchai offers a portfolio of diesel, natural gas and alternate fuels combustion engines, along with the development of new energy powertrain systems and environmentally friendly hybrid engines. There is no assurance that our efforts will be successful, or that our new products will be attractive to customers. Research and development efforts may not yield successful outcomes, and our products may not meet all customer needs or gain market acceptance. Additionally, competitors may develop technology more quickly or profitably than us. Failure to yield successful technologies and products could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The technological requirements to comply with National VI and Tier-4 emission standards, and our commitment to preparing for more stringent or advanced technological requirements in the future, have required us to deploy significant resources on improving major engine components, systems and aftertreatment systems which has led to increased costs. The high cost of rare metal supply has resulted in a more expensive exhaust aftertreatment system. If such cost increase cannot be entirely transferred to our customers and the original equipment manufacturers, it could adversely affect our margins and profitability.

The development of a sustainable market for natural gas and alternative fuel combustion engines and new energy power systems in China may be affected by many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:

•shifts in government policies, emission standards, or subsidies for alternative energy technologies;

•the emergence of newer, more competitive technologies and products;

•the prices and availability of oil and natural gas and other alternative energy in the future;

•the successful development of natural gas and alternate fuels refueling infrastructure;

•the successful development of new energy powertrain and control systems; and

•fluctuations in consumer and industrial demand for natural gas and alternative fuel vehicles.

Rapidly changing markets, technology, emerging industry standards and frequent introduction of new products characterize our business. The introduction of new products embodying new technologies, including new manufacturing processes, and the emergence of new industry standards may render our planned product offerings obsolete, less competitive or less marketable. The process of developing our planned products is complex and requires significant continuing investments, development efforts and third-party commitments. Our failure to develop new technologies and products and the obsolescence of existing technologies could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to continue to enhance our existing technologies, develop new technology that addresses the increasing sophistication and varied needs of the market, and respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a timely and cost-effective basis.

We may be unable to obtain sufficient financing to fund our capital requirements, which could limit our growth potential.

The expansion of our existing operations and the development of our new energy business and products require significant capital investment. The scale of our future investments may require us to obtain additional funding, including through additional borrowings and by accessing the equity and debt capital markets. Without adequate funding, we could face critical challenges in developing the necessary technological and operational capabilities, which could hinder our ability to compete effectively in the rapidly evolving market. To bridge the gap, we may need to seek additional funding through loans, equity investments, or strategic partnerships. Securing such financing is subject to various uncertainties, including our operational results, financial condition, cash flow, and broader economic, political, and market conditions in China.

Our ability to obtain external financing is further influenced by factors such as China’s policies on foreign currency borrowings and the state of both domestic and international capital markets. The PBOC frequently adjusts the loan prime rate in response to macroeconomic conditions; such changes are beyond our control and difficult to predict. Changes in interest rates and market liquidity conditions could have an adverse impact on our earnings, cash flows and ability to secure financing, potentially affecting our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. A shortage of liquidity in the banking system or any other factor that results in our inability to access capital may further exacerbate these challenges.

The success of our investments in our new energy business and product development depends on our ability to accurately align the timing and direction of these investments to meet market demand. To position ourselves and fast track market penetration of our products, we may seek to expand our existing customer base and invest in additional sales and distribution channels. These objectives may require significant additional investments and potentially require additional external funding. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such external funding on commercially attractive terms, in a timely manner or at all. Relying on external funding sources introduces risks such as increased financial leverage, dilution of ownership, or dependency on third-party investors. These factors could impact our financial stability and operational flexibility.

We are subject to risks associated with our joint ventures and strategic alliances.

We have entered into joint ventures and strategic alliances with various third parties to further our business purpose, and we may do so in the future from time to time. The success of these endeavors depends on a variety of factors, including market conditions, the regulatory environment, technological advancements, and the performance of our business partners. We cannot guarantee that our joint ventures or strategic alliances will be successful, profitable, or achieve their intended objectives. If these joint ventures or strategic alliances fail to perform as expected, our financial condition, results of operations, and business prospects could be materially affected. These joint ventures and strategic alliances could subject us to a number of risks, including risks associated with sharing propriety information and non-performance by third parties, among others. For details of our strategic alliances, see “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview — Joint Ventures and Strategic Alliances.”

There can be no assurance that our joint ventures or strategic alliances will be or will continue to be successful or profitable. We have recognized impairment losses in the past related to our investments in the joint ventures and may incur such losses again in the future due to market dynamics, underperformance of the joint ventures, or other external factors beyond our control. We review our investments in these joint ventures on an ongoing basis and may take such action as is deemed strategically appropriate including but not limited to divestment, restructuring, or changes in shareholding. Such actions could result in additional costs, write-downs, or other financial impacts. Furthermore, disagreements with partners over strategic direction, operational decisions, or financial commitments could disrupt operations or lead to the dissolution of partnerships, which could adversely affect our business and financial performance.

Joint ventures and strategic alliances often involve shared control, which may limit our ability to unilaterally make decisions or implement changes. This could delay responses to market opportunities or challenges, putting us at a competitive disadvantage. The financial and operational risks associated with these partnerships are inherent, and we may not always be able to mitigate such risks effectively.

Our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects may be adversely affected to the extent we are unable to continue our sales and investment growth.

In 2024, our engine sales increased by 13.7% to 356,586 units, compared to 313,493 units in 2023. In 2025, our engine sales further increased by 29.4% to 461,309 units, compared to 356,586 units in 2024. While these increases reflect strong growth in recent periods, such growth may not be sustained in future periods, we cannot assure that we will be able to maintain or increase engine sales in the future. Our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects are subject to sales growth of our original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and fluctuations in demand from end users in the downstream industries we serve. Maintaining or increasing sales in line with our expanded production capacity may present challenges. Our future growth is also influenced by factors beyond our control

We also cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively manage any future growth, including:

•securing necessary supplies, including the availability of raw materials and components, particularly in a volatile supply chain environment;

•hiring, training and retaining skilled production workers and management personnel;

•manufacturing and delivering products for increased orders in a timely manner;

•maintaining quality standards and competitive pricing;

•controlling costs; and

•obtaining adequate funding on commercially reasonable terms for future expansion and investments.

Furthermore, we have acquired in the past, and may acquire in the future, equity interests in engine parts suppliers and related business. If we are unable to effectively manage or assimilate these acquisitions, our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects could be adversely affected.

We are dependent on our suppliers, some of whom are our single source suppliers, for the components they supply.

Our engines contain parts or components that we purchase from external suppliers, and some of these suppliers serve as our single source for the relevant components. This dependency presents a significant risk, as any disruption in the supply chain, whether due to logistical issues, financial instability, or other unforeseen circumstances, could lead to delays or halts in our manufacturing activities. Such disruptions could adversely impact our ability to deliver orders and meet customer demands, potentially resulting in contractual defaults, lost revenue and increased costs. We generally do not enter into long-term agreements with our suppliers in order to maintain flexibility in our own procurement and sourcing processes. There can be no assurance that we would be able to successfully secure alternative suppliers or the necessary parts and components to meet our requirements on a timely basis, on acceptable terms or at all. Our dependence on single-source suppliers could lead to quality control challenges, higher costs and limited adoption of new technologies. The financial stability of these suppliers is also crucial, as their financial distress could significantly disrupt our supply chain. Additionally, changes in business conditions, force majeure, governmental changes and other factors beyond our control or which we do not presently anticipate, could also affect our suppliers’ ability to deliver components to us on a timely basis or at all. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Our business could be adversely affected by the disruption of supply or shortage of raw materials and components.

We may experience a sustained interruption in the supply or shortage of commodities, raw materials and other inputs used by us and our suppliers in our and their businesses and products, such as steel and semiconductor chips, which could adversely affect our future profitability or our ability to timely execute our business plan. For instance, the global semiconductor chip supply shortage in 2021 had wide-ranging effects across multiple industries, particularly the automotive industry. Similarly, supply chain disruptions caused by global health crises led to delayed deliveries and even order cancellations, which adversely affected our engine sales volumes and revenues. Disruptions in global supply chains or logistics, including those arising from regional conflicts, could also materially increase the cost of materials, components, and production overhead, and limit their availability. Any supply interruptions or shortage could materially and negatively impact our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

We could be exposed to the impact of interest rates and foreign currency movements with respect to our future borrowings and business.

We may use borrowings from time to time to supplement our working capital requirements and to fund our continued business expansion plans. A portion of our borrowings may be structured on a floating rate basis and denominated in US dollar, Singapore dollar or Renminbi. Changes in prevailing market interest rates could increase the cost of our borrowing and make it more difficult to obtain financing necessary to meet our working capital and on favorable terms. Any fluctuations in interest rates, or fluctuations in exchange rates between the Renminbi or Singapore dollar and US dollar, may increase our funding costs or the availability of funding. This could affect our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects.

Our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects could also be adversely affected by a devaluation of the Renminbi. The value of the Renminbi is subject to changes in monetary policy in China and to international economic and political developments. Since we may not be able to hedge effectively against Renminbi or Singapore dollar fluctuations, future movements in the exchange rate of the Renminbi, the Singapore dollar and other currencies could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If prices of energy, raw materials or components increase, it may adversely affect our profitability or cause us to suffer operating losses.

Our manufacturing processes and production activities are dependent on energy, raw materials, and various components, the prices of which are subject to significant volatility due to factors beyond our control, depending on market conditions and fluctuations in global demand. Rising prices of key components and key raw materials, as well as increases in energy prices (e.g., electricity, natural gas, and oil), could significantly elevate our production costs. Our ability to mitigate these risks by passing a portion of the increased costs onto consumers has been and in the future may be limited by, among other things, competitive pressures, contractual obligations, and customer resistance. In cases where we are unable to fully absorb or pass on rising costs, our profit margins would be compressed, potentially leading to reduced profitability or even operating losses.

We are subject to increasingly stringent policies and regulations related to the environment, climate change, and employee health and safety.

Our operations and products must comply with national and local laws and regulations in China governing noise, air quality, soil contamination, wastewater discharge, and the treatment and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste materials, employee health and safety, climate change and environmental protection. These regulations impose environmental taxes and fines for pollution and may require the closure of non-compliant facilities or the cessation of activities causing environmental damage. These laws and regulations may impose numerous obligations that are applicable to our operations, including acquisition of relevant permits or other approvals and imposition of significant liabilities for pollution or accidents arising from our operations.

Regulatory authorities in China have steadily tightened mandatory standards for both on-road and off-road transportation to achieve environmental and climate objectives. For instance, the implementation of National VI and Tier-4 emission standards has required us to increase research and development expenditures to meet these evolving criteria. Furthermore, enhanced energy efficiency and resource consumption standard, intended to address climate and resource concerns are being implemented in the markets where our powertrains or vehicles with our powertrains are sold. There can be no assurance that Yuchai will be able to comply with future emission standards, climate-related mandates, or safety requirements, or that stricter regulations will not result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Non-compliance with these regulations would result in significant financial and reputational risks. Therefore, our ability to align with and proactively respond to government policies is fundamental to our continued success and sustainability in the dynamic powertrain market in China.

Various jurisdictions are adopting or considering new laws and regulations that expand mandatory disclosure, reporting and diligence requirements with respect to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters. The ESG and sustainability landscape and expectations of investors, customers, employees and other stakeholders in this area continue to evolve due to new regulations and geopolitical developments. Compliance with these new rules along with any other anticipated ESG reporting rules may result in additional costs and operational complexities. Moreover, investors, lenders and other stakeholders (including those in support of or in opposition to ESG principles) may have a negative view of us to the extent we are perceived to have not responded appropriately to their ESG concerns or take positions that are contrary to their views or expectations. Failure to comply with present or future ESG regulations or to meet stakeholder expectations could harm our reputation, business and financial condition.

The adoption of more stringent emission standards may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

The manufacture of our engines is subject to regulations by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People's Republic of China (“MEE”) and other authorities in China. Regulations in China have been steadily tightened for both on-road and off-road transportation in recent years, requiring compliance with stringent standards, including the mandatory implementation of National VI and Tier-4 emission standards. National VI and Tier-4 emission standards have adopted the latest internal combustion engine manufacturing technologies in China that Yuchai had developed and built up anew. These emission standards impose a series of emission tests, not only in the manufacturing processes but also ongoing emission tests on the road after engine installation.

Our engines involve technically complex manufacturing processes and require a supply of highly specialized component parts. For some products and component parts, we may also rely on a single source of supply. The combination of these factors means that supply is never guaranteed. If we or our third-party suppliers fail to comply fully with regulations, there could be a product recall or other shutdown or disruption of our production activities. There is no assurance that we will not experience supply interruptions in the future. The implementation of new standards may also reduce the supply or increase the price of components for certain of our existing engine models which could be sold for the export markets.

The failure or malfunctioning of the exhaust aftertreatment system would also trigger the engine monitoring system to shut down or reduce engine loading to idling speed, which may cause disruption of transportation or service of the vehicles, potentially inducing damages and leading to higher costs of warranty. Yuchai’s performance may be affected by any unexpected failure in these systems. Any of these issues could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.

We are subject to risks associated with being subject to trade control laws and regulations.

Yuchai may, from time to time, procure production equipment from overseas suppliers which could expose us to regulatory scrutiny, export control restrictions, or licensing requirements, particularly imposed by U.S. or European authorities. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations, whether due to oversight, misinterpretation, or changes in regulatory requirements, could result in significant penalties, fines or restrictions on our ability to import or use critical equipment. Additionally, geopolitical tensions or shifts in trade policies could further complicate our procurement processes, leading to delays, increased costs, or the inability to acquire necessary technology. Such disruptions could adversely affect our production capabilities, operational efficiency, and overall business performance.

In October 2022, Yuchai was placed on the Unverified List (“UVL”), which is a supplement to the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”), promulgated by the Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”), in the Department of Commerce (the “U.S. Department of Commerce”). Entities are added to the UVL where the BIS is unable to verify the legitimacy and reliability relating to the end use or end users of items subject to the EAR because an end-use check, such as a pre-license check or a post-shipment verification cannot be completed satisfactorily for reasons outside the U.S. Government’s control. Yuchai was removed from the UVL in December 2022. We cannot guarantee that we or Yuchai or any of our other subsidiaries will not be included to the UVL or the BIS’ Entity List or Denied Persons List in the future. If we or any of our subsidiaries are placed on one of BIS’ lists in the future, we could face reputational harm, supply disruptions, restrictions or difficulties in dealing with business partners or obtaining banking facilities, or additional compliance requirements or costs, which could have significantly adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

Outbreaks of communicable diseases may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face risks related to health epidemics or outbreaks of communicable diseases. In general, our business has in the past been and, in the future, could be adversely affected by the outbreak of other communicable diseases. Such communicable diseases could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect general commercial activity and the economies and financial markets of many countries, as well as our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Beginning in late 2019 and early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in temporary closure of many manufacturing facilities and factories across China and the world, and our industry and many others experienced increased supply lead time, supply disruption and limited transport and shipment options from and to affected regions. Although the COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted, the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to influence the economy and our business, and an outbreak of COVID-19 or other communicable diseases could occur again. Outbreaks of communicable diseases have led to, and in the future could lead to our factory closures, workforce shortages, supply chain disruptions, transportation disruptions or similar consequences. The duration of such business disruptions and their resulting financial and operational impacts cannot be predicted or reasonably estimated.

Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover risks related to our production and other operations.

The amount of our insurance coverage for our buildings and equipment is at cost, which could be less than the replacement value. Similarly, the insurance coverage for our inventory is at book value, which could be less than the replacement value. In accordance with what we believe is customary practice among industrial equipment manufacturers in China, we insure our properties, equipment and inventories. The amount of insurance coverage for our facilities and inventory aligns with Chinese market practice but may expose us to risks in the event of a major accident where our insurance recovery may be inadequate.

We also carry public liability insurance to cover claims in respect of bodily injury and property damage to any third party arising from accidents on our property or relating to our operations. Furthermore, we maintain credit insurance to mitigate the risk of loss arising from the non-payment of trade receivables by certain customers. However, such coverage is subject to policy limits and exclusions, and there can be no assurance that our credit insurance will sufficiently protect us against significant customer defaults or a systemic downturn in the credit environment. We do not carry business interruption insurance as such coverage is not customary in China. Losses incurred or payments required to be made by us which are not fully insured could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Increases in labor costs and enforcement of stricter labor laws and regulations in China may adversely affect our business and our profitability.

The average wage level in China, where most of our employees are located, has increased in recent years, and China-based manufacturing operations no longer have the cost competitive advantages that they had in the past. We expect that our labor costs, including wages and employee benefits, will continue to increase in the future in absolute terms and relative to the costs of operating in other countries and regions where labor costs are lower. Unless we are able to pass on these increased labor costs to those who pay for our services, our profitability and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

In addition, we have been subject to stricter regulatory requirements in terms of entering into labor contracts with our employees and limitation with respect to utilization of labor dispatching, labor protection and labor condition and paying various statutory employee benefits, including pensions, housing fund, medical insurance, work-related injury insurance, unemployment insurance and maternity insurance to designated government agencies for the benefit of our employees. Pursuant to the PRC Labor Contract Law and its implementation rules, employers are subject to stricter requirements in terms of signing labor contracts, minimum wages, paying remuneration, determining the term of employee’s probation and unilaterally terminating labor contracts. In the event that we decide to terminate some of our employees or otherwise change our employment or labor practices, the PRC Labor Contract Law and its implementation rules may limit our ability to effect those changes in a desirable or cost-effective manner, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We are dependent on information technology and our systems and infrastructure face certain risks, including cybersecurity risks and data leakage risks. Any failure to comply with the various applicable laws and regulations related to data security and cybersecurity could lead to liabilities, penalties or other regulatory actions, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are dependent on information technology systems and infrastructure to support our operations, manage data and conduct business activities. This dependence exposes us to certain risks, including cybersecurity threats and data leakage. We cannot be certain that advances in criminal capabilities such as cyberattacks, malware or exploitation of vulnerabilities in our or third-party systems, will not compromise or breach the technology protecting our systems or the systems and networks of third parties that access and store sensitive information about us, our customers or suppliers. Cyber threats like phishing and trojans could intrude into our or a third party’s network to steal data or to seek sensitive information about us or our customers or suppliers. Any intrusion into our or such third party’s network that results in any breach of security could cause damage to our reputation and adversely impact our business and financial results. A significant failure in security measures could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition. Although we seek to implement measures to protect sensitive and confidential client data, there can be no assurance that we would be able to prevent breaches of security. There can be no assurance that our cybersecurity risk management program and processes, including our policies, controls and procedures and the cybersecurity risk management program, will be effective in protecting our systems and information. See also “Item 16K. Cybersecurity.”

As a significant part of our business and operations is conducted in China, we are subject to the PRC laws, rules and regulations, including those related to data security and cybersecurity. PRC regulators have intensified their focus on regulating data security and data protection, reflecting the growing importance of these areas in the digital economy. China has introduced a series of stringent laws and regulations, including the Cyber Security Law, the Data Security Law, and the Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL), which impose comprehensive requirements on data collection, storage, processing, transmission, and cross-border transfers. These regulatory frameworks mandate that companies implement robust data protection measures, conduct risk assessments and ensure compliance with data classification and grading standards. Additionally, businesses are required to report security incidents, obtain necessary approvals for data exports, and adhere to strict guidelines for handling sensitive and personal information. The evolving nature of these regulations means that compliance requirements are subject to change, and we must continuously monitor and adapt to new rules and enforcement practices. We believe that our existing practices are compliant with applicable requirements imposed under the foregoing laws, rules and regulations, including the regulations or policies that have been issued by the CAC, in all material respects. However, we cannot preclude the possibility that new laws, regulations or rules promulgated in the future will impose additional compliance requirements on us, will subject us to the cybersecurity or national security review in relation to our operations, or will require us to change our business practices or incur additional operating expenses, which may have material and negative impacts on our business, financial condition and prospects and the value of our securities.

If it is determined in the future that any additional procedures, including the cybersecurity review under the Cybersecurity Review Measures and national security review under the Network Data Security Regulations, are required for our offshore offerings, it is uncertain whether we can or how long it will take us to obtain such approval or complete such filing procedures and any such approval or filing could be rescinded or rejected. CAC and/or other PRC regulation and oversight of cybersecurity, data protection and other technology-related matters that the PRC government deems to relate to national security could impact our ability to conduct, or the timing of, our future offerings. In addition, given the current regulatory environment in the PRC, there remains uncertainty regarding the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws, including the foregoing relevant laws and regulations issued by the CAC, which can change quickly and with little advance notice. See “— General Risk Factors — Changes in and uncertainties relating to political or social conditions, government policies or regulations in China could have a material and adverse effect on our business and results of operations” for more details.

Risks from incorporation of artificial intelligence technologies into our products, manufacturing processes and business operations, as well as potential challenges associated with the implementation of such technologies could adversely affect our operations, reputation and competitive position.

We use, and expect to continue to use, artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies (collectively, “AI”) in our business operations, including in our manufacturing, research and development, product development, supply chain management and quality assurance processes and in our digital operational infrastructure. The use of AI in our operations and products carries inherent risks. AI systems may produce outputs that are inaccurate, incomplete, inappropriate or biased, including recommendations, predictive analytics, diagnostic conclusions, or control decisions. Errors in AI-generated outputs that are incorporated into our products, manufacturing decisions or customer service systems could result in product liability claims, customer dissatisfaction, reputational harm, or regulatory action. The use of AI in connected vehicle and smart machinery applications may also raise questions of product safety and regulatory compliance, particularly as PRC and international regulatory frameworks governing AI in transportation and industrial applications continue to evolve.

Our use of AI may expose us to risks of data leakage, cybersecurity incidents and unauthorized access to confidential business information, customer data, technical know-how and other proprietary information. AI systems are typically trained and operated using large volumes of data, and any breach or unauthorized access to the data used in our AI systems could have consequences that extend beyond conventional cybersecurity incidents. In addition, the use of third-party AI tools or platforms in our operations creates a risk that confidential business information, technical data or personal data may be inadvertently disclosed to third-party AI service providers or exposed through such providers’ systems. Any such incident could result in legal liability, regulatory penalties, loss of intellectual property, and reputational harm.

The regulatory environment governing AI is dynamic and rapidly evolving in China and globally. Compliance with existing and future AI regulations may require significant resources and could require us to modify our products, platforms or operational processes. There can be no assurance that our current practices will remain compliant with applicable AI regulations as they evolve, or that regulatory action will not be taken against us in respect of our AI activities.

We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, and any failure to protect our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our revenues and competitive position.

Yuchai’s intellectual property portfolio comprises invention patents, utility model patents, design patents, proprietary technology know-how, software copyrights and capitalized development costs. Notwithstanding our anti-counterfeiting procedures and third-party enforcement services, we may be unable to prevent the unauthorized copying or use of our proprietary technologies. Our patents may be held invalid or unenforceable by competent authorities or courts, and competitors may be able to design around our patents or independently develop comparable technologies or products without infringing our intellectual property rights.

GY is the registered owner of the “Yuchai” trademarks in China, which are the principal trademarks under which Yuchai conducts its business. Yuchai uses these trademarks pursuant to a license agreement with GY. In the event of any dispute with GY regarding the terms of the license agreement or GY’s ownership or maintenance of the trademarks, Yuchai’s right to use the “Yuchai” trademarks could be challenged, curtailed or terminated. Any such challenge or termination could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Monitoring the unauthorized use of our proprietary technology is inherently difficult and costly. We may be required to resort to litigation to enforce or defend our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, or to determine the enforceability, scope and validity of our proprietary rights or those of third parties. Any such litigation, whether or not resolved in our favor, could result in substantial costs, diversion of management time and resources, and harm to our reputation. An adverse determination in any such proceeding could impair our ability to compete effectively and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our key employees and qualified personnel.

We are highly dependent on our executive officers and senior management, as well as our research and development and sales and marketing personnel. Recruiting and retaining qualified personnel is critical to our success. The loss of the services of our executive officers or other key employees could impede our ability to successfully implement our business strategy. Furthermore, replacing executive officers and key employees may be difficult and may take an extended period of time because of the limited number of individuals in our industry with the breadth of skills and experience required to successfully develop and commercialize products and services. Competition to hire from this limited pool is intense, and we may be unable to hire, train, retain or motivate these key personnel. The failure to attract, integrate, train, motivate and retain these personnel could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We and our subsidiaries have implemented and may implement equity incentive plans to attract, retain, and motivate management and employees, which could have a dilutive effect on your investment in us and our interests in our subsidiaries.

We have adopted an equity incentive plan to attract and retain eligible directors, officers and employees of our Company. Pursuant to the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan adopted in May 2025, the maximum aggregate number of 1,800,000 shares may be issued, in whole or in part, from authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares (subject to applicable laws), or shares purchased on the open market. The issuance of these stock-based awards may dilute an investment in our shares. Our stock price may also face incremental downward pressure if plan participants sell more shares into the market. See “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees — E. Share Ownership.” Certain of our subsidiaries have also adopted, or may in the future adopt, their own equity incentive plans to attract, retain, and motivate their management and key personnel. The implementation and operation of these subsidiary equity incentive plans could dilute our ownership interest in the relevant subsidiaries as equity awards are granted by the subsidiaries over time.

Our interest in our subsidiaries could be diluted by the implementation and operation of any equity incentive plans by these subsidiaries. Any shares reserved under any such subsidiary plan, if and when issued, could reduce our ownership interest in that subsidiary. The issuance of these shares by a subsidiary of ours could cause our share of the earnings of the affected subsidiary to be reduced, which could adversely impact our results of operations.

We may be subject to risks related to the PRC authorities’ investigatory actions against and the alleged misconduct of certain former directors and senior management personnel of us and our subsidiaries.

In July and October 2025, we were informed that Ms. Qin Xiaohong (“Qin Xiaohong”), then Chief Accountant of Yuchai, and Mr. Wu Qiwei (“Wu Qiwei”), then Director of CYI and then Director and President of Yuchai, were under detention and investigation by PRC authorities. Qin Xiaohong’s position as Yuchai’s Chief Accountant was terminated by Yuchai’s Board of Directors in August 2025. Wu Qiwei resigned as a Director and the President of Yuchai and as a Director of CYI in October and November 2025. As of the date of this Annual Report, the investigations of Qin Xiaohong and Wu Qiwei are on-going. In addition, it has been reported that in July 2025 the former deputy party secretary and chairman of the board of directors of GY, Mr. Yan Ping (“Yan Ping”), was subject to disciplinary review and investigation by the Discipline Inspection Commission of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region’s Communist Party Committee and the Supervisory Commission of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (the “Disciplinary Authorities”) on suspicion of serious disciplinary and legal violations. Subsequently in February 2026, based on the announcement made by the Disciplinary Authorities, Yan Ping’s case was transferred to the procuratorate for review and prosecution in accordance with the PRC laws. Yan Ping was a former Director of CYI and former Chairman of Yuchai, and he retired from these positions in 2021. We have limited knowledge of the status or scope of the on-going investigations against these individuals by PRC authorities and cannot predict the determinations and conclusions that the relevant authorities will reach. The business and affairs of Yuchai continue to be led by Mr. Li Hanyang, the Chairman of Yuchai’s Board of Directors and daily business operations continue to proceed uninterrupted.

While we conduct training and maintain corporate governance policies and procedures designed to detect and prevent misconduct by our directors, senior management and employees, we cannot assure you that we will be able to prevent or detect instances of alleged personal misconduct in a timely fashion or at all. If we fail to prevent or detect such actions, our reputation may be harmed, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

While we maintain a succession planning program across key management roles, leadership transitions resulting from any unexpected departure of key personnel could create institutional knowledge gaps and may disrupt the execution of our strategic priorities. Any failure to successfully implement or optimize these succession protocols could result in disruptions to leadership continuity and the destabilization of our relationships with key suppliers and customers.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile.

There continues to be volatility in the market price of our common stock. See “Item 9. The Offer and Listing.” The market price could fluctuate substantially in the future in response to a number of factors, including:

•changes in general economic conditions, escalation or continuation of trade tensions, heightened policy uncertainty especially regarding trade, financial market disruptions amid global financing conditions, and heightened geopolitical tensions globally and regionally, and the resulting volatility in market sentiment;

•market expectations, speculation and uncertainties regarding the potential listing of our subsidiary;

•our operating results whether audited or unaudited;

•the public’s reaction to our press releases and announcements and our filings with the SEC;

•changes in financial estimates or recommendations by stock market analysts regarding us, our competitors or other companies that investors may deem comparable;

•operating and stock price performance of our competitors or other companies that investors may deem comparable;

•political, economic, and social conditions in China;

•any negative perceptions about corporate governance or accounting practices at listed companies with significant operations in China;

•China’s initiatives to develop energy saving and new energy power systems, which may lead to a decrease in demand for our diesel engines that affects our market share and profitability;

•future sales or repurchases of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales or repurchase could occur; or

•the announcements by us or our competitors of a significant acquisition, divestment, corporate exercise or change of management.

Any of the above factors either individually or together may result in market fluctuations which may materially affect our stock price.

We have previously identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and cannot assure you that material weaknesses will not be identified in the future. Our failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in material misstatements in our financial statements which could require us to restate financial statements in the future, or cause us not to be able to provide timely financial information, which may cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on our stock price.

We reported material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005 to 2011, and our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting were not effective for that period. Since the year ended December 31, 2012, we have not identified any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting were effective for the financial years ended December 31, 2012 to 2025. See “Item 15. Controls and Procedures.” Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for the financial years ended December 31, 2012 to 2025.

We cannot assure you that material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting will not be identified in the future. Any failure to maintain or improve existing controls or implement new controls could result in material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations, which in turn could cause our shares to be delisted or suspended from trading on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE. In addition, any such failure could result in material misstatements in our financial statements and require us to restate our financial statements and adversely affect the results of annual management evaluations regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Any of the foregoing could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, leading to a decline in our share price.

As an exempted company incorporated under Bermuda law, our operations may be subject to economic substance requirements.

The Economic Substance Act 2018 and the Economic Substance Regulations 2018 of Bermuda (the “Economic Substance Act” and the “Economic Substance Regulations”, respectively) became operative on December 31, 2018. The Economic Substance Act applies to every registered entity in Bermuda that engages in a relevant activity and requires that every such entity shall maintain a substantial economic presence in Bermuda. Relevant activities for the purposes of the Economic Substance Act include, among other things, conducting business as a holding entity, which may include a pure equity holding entity. The Economic Substance Regulations provide that minimum economic substance requirements shall apply in relation to an entity if the entity is a pure equity holding entity, which is an entity which as its primary function acquires and holds shares or an equitable interest in other entities, performs no commercial activity and which (a) holds the majority of the voting rights in another entity; (b) is a shareholder, member or partner in another entity and has the right to appoint or remove a majority of the board of directors, managers or equivalent of that other entity; or (c) is a shareholder, member or partner in another entity and controls alone, under an agreement with others, a majority of the voting rights in that other entity. The minimum economic substance requirements include (a) compliance with applicable corporate governance requirements set forth in, among others, the Bermuda Companies Act 1981 including keeping records of account, books and papers and financial statements; and (b) submission of an annual economic substance declaration form. However, the economic substance requirements do not apply to an entity which is a tax resident of a jurisdiction outside of Bermuda, provided that the jurisdiction is not in the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes. If we fail to comply with our obligations under the Bermuda Economic Substance Act or any similar law applicable to us in any other jurisdictions, we could be subject to financial penalties and spontaneous disclosure of information to foreign tax officials in related jurisdictions and may be struck from the register of companies in Bermuda or such other jurisdiction. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In 2020, our Board of Directors, having considered the Bermuda economic substance legislation as well as the Company’s presence and substance in Singapore through our Singapore Branch office, approved for the Company to establish its tax residency in Singapore. The Company has been a tax resident in Singapore for Singapore income tax purposes since 2020. Our Singapore tax residency status is to be self-assessed on a yearly basis if our management control is exercised in Singapore for the preceding calendar year. If the Company is not a tax resident of a jurisdiction outside of Bermuda (other than a jurisdiction which is on the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes), we may be subject to economic substance requirements under Bermuda’s Economic Substance Act, Economic Substance Regulations and/or any new economic substance regulations adopted in Bermuda. We may be subject to penalties if the Company or any of its subsidiaries fail to comply with the applicable economic substance laws in Bermuda or any other jurisdiction.

We may be classified as a passive foreign investment company, which could result in adverse United States federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders.

A non-United States corporation is considered a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for United States federal income tax purposes for any taxable year if either (1) at least 75% of its gross income is passive income or (2) at least 50% of the total value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets during a taxable year) is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, the total value of our assets generally will be determined by reference to the market price of our shares. We believe that our shares should not be treated as stock of a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes for the taxable year that ended on December 31, 2025. However, there is no guarantee that the United States Internal Revenue Service will not take a contrary position or that our shares will not be treated as stock of a PFIC for any future taxable year. Our PFIC status will be affected by, among other things, the market value of our shares and the assets and operations of our Company and subsidiaries. If we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder (defined below) holds our shares, certain adverse United States federal income tax consequences could apply to the U.S. Holder. See “Item 10. Additional Information — C. Taxation — United States Federal Income Taxation — PFIC Rules.”

The HLGE Group’s hotel ownership and management business may be adversely affected by risks inherent in the hotel industry.

The HLGE Group operates Copthorne Hotel Cameron Highlands (“CHCH”), a hotel in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia. As of February 27, 2026, we had a 49.1% shareholding interest in HLGE, a company listed on the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “Singapore Exchange”). See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Business Expansion and Diversification Plan” for further information on our investment in HLGE.

The HLGE Group’s financial performance is dependent on the performance of the hotel it operates. The HLGE Group’s hotel ownership and management business is exposed to risks which are inherent in and/or common to the hotel industry and which may adversely affect the HLGE Group’s financial performance, including the following:

•fluctuations in occupancy rates;

•changes to the international, regional and local economic climate and market conditions (including but not limited to changes to regional and local populations, changes in travel patterns and preferences, and oversupply of or reduced demand for hotel rooms that may result in reduced occupancy levels and performance for the hotels it operates);

•changes to the political, economic, legal or social environments of the countries in which the HLGE Group operates (including developments with respect to inflation or deflation, interest rates, currency fluctuations, governmental policies, real estate laws and regulations, taxation, fuel costs, expropriation, including the impact of the current global financial crisis);

•increased threat of terrorism, terrorist events, airline strikes, hostilities between countries, effects of climate change or increased risk of natural disasters or viral epidemics that may affect travel patterns and reduce the number of travelers and tourists;

•changes in laws and governmental regulations (including those relating to the operation of hotels, preparation and sale of food and beverages, occupational health and safety working conditions and laws and regulations governing its relationship with employees);

•competition from other international, regional and independent hotel companies, some of which may have greater name recognition and financial resources than the HLGE Group (including competition in relation to hotel room rates, convenience, services or amenities offered);

•losses arising out of damage to CHCH, where such losses may not be covered by the insurance policies maintained by the HLGE Group;

•increases in operating costs, labor costs (including the impact of unionization), workers’ compensation and health-care related costs, utility costs, insurance and unanticipated costs such as acts of nature and their consequences;

•fluctuations in foreign currencies arising from the HLGE Group’s various currency exposures;

•dependence on leisure travel and tourism; and

•adverse effects of a downturn in the hospitality industry, including the impact due to communicable diseases.

The above factors may materially affect the performance of CHCH and the profitability and financial condition of the HLGE Group. There can be no assurance that we will not suffer any losses arising from our investment in HLGE.

Risks related to Corporate Structure

Our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects may be adversely affected if we are unable to implement the Reorganization Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement.

We own 76.4% of the outstanding shares of Yuchai, and one of our primary sources of cash flow continues to be our share of the dividends, if any, paid by Yuchai and investment earnings thereon. As a result of the agreement reached with Yuchai and its related parties pursuant to the July 2003 Agreement, we discontinued legal and arbitration proceedings initiated by us in May 2003 relating to difficulties with respect to our investment in Yuchai. In furtherance of the terms of the July 2003 Agreement, we, Yuchai and Coomber Investments Limited, or Coomber, entered into the Reorganization Agreement in April 2005, as amended in December 2005 and November 2006, and agreed on a restructuring plan intended to be beneficial to our shareholders. Coomber is wholly owned by Goldman Industrial Limited which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GY which in turn is a majority-owned subsidiary of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the People’s Government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The Reorganization Agreement provides for the implementation of corporate governance guidelines approved by the directors and shareholders of Yuchai in November 2002 and outlines steps for the adoption of corporate governance practices at Yuchai conforming to international custom and practice.

The Reorganization Agreement was scheduled to terminate on June 30, 2007. On June 30, 2007, we, along with Yuchai, Coomber and GY, entered into the Cooperation Agreement. The Cooperation Agreement amends certain terms of the Reorganization Agreement and, as so amended, incorporates the terms of the Reorganization Agreement. The Reorganization Agreement, as amended, and the Cooperation Agreement continue to be in force and effect. Pursuant to the amendments to the Reorganization Agreement, the Company agreed that the restructuring and spin-off of Yuchai would not be effected, and, recognizing the understandings that have been reached between the Company and GY to jointly undertake efforts to expand the business of Yuchai, the Company will not seek to recover the anti-dilution fee of US$20 million that was due from Yuchai. For more information on these agreements see “Item 4. Information on the Company — A. History and Development of the Company.” No assurance can be given as to when the business expansion requirements relating to Yuchai as contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement will be fully implemented, or that implementation of the Reorganization Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement will effectively resolve all of the difficulties faced by us with respect to our investment in Yuchai.

In addition, the Reorganization Agreement as amended by the Cooperation Agreement contemplates the continued implementation of our business expansion and diversification plan adopted in February 2005. The Cooperation Agreement provides that the parties will explore new business opportunities and ventures with a view to diversifying and expanding the assets, business divisions, sources of revenue and operations of Yuchai. Subsequently, we acquired strategic stakes in HLGE and Thakral Corporation Ltd, or TCL (which we have since fully divested). In addition, Yuchai has entered into various joint ventures and strategic alliances with various third parties to further our business purpose. For more details, see “ — We are subject to risks associated with our joint ventures and strategic alliances.”

Nonetheless, no assurance can be given that we will be able to successfully expand and diversify our business. We may also not be able to continue to identify suitable acquisition opportunities, secure funding to consummate such acquisitions or successfully integrate such acquired businesses within our operations. Any failure to implement the terms of the Reorganization Agreement and Cooperation Agreement, including our continued expansion and diversification, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects. Additionally, although the Cooperation Agreement amends certain provisions of the Reorganization Agreement and also acknowledges the understandings that have been reached between us and GY to jointly undertake efforts to expand and diversify the business of Yuchai, no assurance can be given that we will be able to successfully implement those efforts or as to when the transactions contemplated therein will be consummated.

Our controlling shareholder’s interests may differ from those of our other shareholders.

As of February 27, 2026, our controlling shareholder, Hong Leong Asia Ltd., or Hong Leong Asia, indirectly owns 18,270,965 or 48.70% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, as well as a special share that entitles it to elect a majority of our directors. Hong Leong Asia controls us through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hong Leong (China) Limited, or Hong Leong China, and through HL Technology Systems Pte Ltd, or HL Technology, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hong Leong China. HL Technology owns 25.38% of the outstanding shares of our common stock and has, since August 2002, been the registered holder of the special share. Hong Leong Asia also owns, through another wholly-owned subsidiary, Well Summit Investments Limited, 23.32% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of February 27, 2026. Hong Leong Asia is a member of the Hong Leong Investment Holdings Pte. Ltd., or Hong Leong Investment group of companies. Prior to August 2002, we were controlled by Diesel Machinery (BVI) Limited, or Diesel Machinery, which, until its dissolution, was a holding company controlled by Hong Leong China and was the prior owner of the special share. Through HL Technology’s stock ownership and the rights accorded to the Special Share under our Bye-Laws and various agreements among shareholders, Hong Leong Asia is able to effectively approve and effect most corporate transactions. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — B. Related Party Transactions — Shareholders Agreement.” In addition, our shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights. There can be no assurance that Hong Leong Asia’s actions will be in the best interests of our other shareholders. See also “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — A. Major Shareholders.”

We may experience a change of control as a result of sale or disposal of shares of our common stock by our controlling shareholders.

As described above, HL Technology, a subsidiary of Hong Leong Asia, owns 9,520,251 shares of our common stock, as well as the special share. If HL Technology reduces its shareholding to less than 7,290,000 shares of our common stock, our Bye-Laws provide that the special share held by HL Technology will cease to carry any rights, and Hong Leong Asia may as a result cease to have control over us. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — A. Major Shareholders — The Special Share.” If HL Technology sells or disposes of the special share or reduces its shareholding to less than 7,290,000 shares of our common stock, we cannot determine what control arrangements will arise as a result of such sale or disposal (including changes in our management arising therefrom), or assess what effect those control arrangements may have, if any, on our financial condition, results of operations, business, prospects or share price.

In addition, certain of our financing arrangements have covenants requiring Hong Leong Asia to retain ownership of the special share and that we remain a principal subsidiary (as defined in such arrangements) of Hong Leong Asia. A breach of that covenant may require us to pay all outstanding amounts under those financing arrangements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to pay such amounts or obtain alternate financing.

We have in the past experienced and may in the future experience disagreements and difficulties with the shareholders in Yuchai.

Although we own 76.4% of the outstanding shares of Yuchai, and believe we have proper legal ownership of our investment and a controlling financial interest in Yuchai, in the event there is a dispute with Yuchai’s shareholders regarding our investment in Yuchai, we may have to rely on law for remedies. We have in the past experienced problems from time to time in obtaining assistance and cooperation of Yuchai’s shareholders in the daily management and operation of Yuchai. We have in the past also experienced problems from time to time in obtaining the assistance and cooperation of the GY Group in dealing with various matters, including the implementation of corporate governance procedures, the payment of dividends, the holding of Yuchai board meetings and the resolution of employee-related matters. Examples of these problems are described elsewhere in this Annual Report. The July 2003 Agreement, the Reorganization Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement are intended to resolve certain issues relating to our share ownership in Yuchai and the continued corporate governance and other difficulties which we have had with respect to Yuchai. As part of the terms of the Reorganization Agreement, Yuchai agreed that it would seek the requisite shareholder approval prior to entering into any material transactions (including any agreements or arrangements with parties related to Yuchai or any of its shareholders) and that it would comply with its governance requirements. Yuchai also acknowledged and affirmed the Company’s continued rights as majority shareholder to direct the management and policies of Yuchai through Yuchai’s Board of Directors. Yuchai’s Articles of Association have been amended and such amended Articles of Association as approved by the Guangxi Department of Commerce on December 2, 2009, entitle the Company to elect nine of Yuchai’s thirteen directors, thereby reaffirming the Company’s right to effect all major decisions relating to Yuchai. While Yuchai has affirmed the Company’s continued rights as Yuchai’s majority shareholder and authority to direct the management and policies of Yuchai, no assurance can be given that disagreements and difficulties with Yuchai’s management and/or Yuchai’s Chinese shareholders will not recur, including in relation to the implementation of the Reorganization Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement, corporate governance matters or related party transactions. Such disagreements and difficulties could ultimately have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

We may face risks associated with our subsidiary being a standalone public company.

In January 2026, Guangxi Yuchai Marine and Genset Power Co., Ltd. (“MGP”), an indirect subsidiary of our Company, filed an application with The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Hong Kong Stock Exchange” or “HKEX”) in connection with a proposed listing (the “Potential Listing”) of MGP’s shares on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The Potential Listing is subject to review and approval by the HKEX and other relevant regulatory authorities and market conditions. There is no assurance as to whether or when the Potential Listing will take place. Any potential listing of MGP or our other subsidiary would be subject to numerous uncertainties, including internal approvals, market conditions, regulatory requirements, and the approval of relevant authorities and exchanges in the applicable jurisdiction.

While the Potential Listing will reduce our interest in MGP, we expect to remain an indirect controlling shareholder of MGP after completion of the Potential Listing. We may from time to time make strategic decisions that we believe are in the best interests of our business and shareholders as a whole, which may create conflicts of interest with MGP’s other shareholders. We may not be able to resolve all potential misalignments in interests and the existence of such misalignments may affect our results of operations as a whole. There can be no assurance that a potential separate listing of a subsidiary would enhance our shareholder value. Market conditions, investor demand, valuation considerations, and the performance of the subsidiary following any listing could materially affect the perceived benefits of such transaction. If a listing is completed and the market performance of the subsidiary’s shares is weaker than expected, it could adversely affect investor perception of our Group and our overall valuation.

General Risk Factors

Geopolitical tensions and regional conflicts may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Heightened geopolitical instability, including the conflict in the Middle East, and resulting disruptions in supply chains and logistics networks, could materially increase the cost of materials and components, raise production overhead, and adversely affect our profitability and results of operations. Disruptions to key shipping routes, energy supplies and global trade flows could lead to delays in the procurement and transportation of critical inputs, increase freight and insurance costs, and create volatility in commodity and energy prices.

Geopolitical escalation could trigger broader economic sanctions, capital market restrictions, or forced business interruptions affecting companies with substantial PRC operations, including us. Any such escalation could also lead to reduced investor confidence in securities issued by companies such as ours, which are NYSE-listed with significant assets in and revenues from China. Prolonged or escalating geopolitical tensions could further strain global supply chains and reduce market stability, which may negatively affect our production planning, operating costs and overall financial performance. We cannot predict the likelihood, timing or extent of any such escalation or its consequences for our business.

International trade policies and regulations dynamics may adversely affect our business.

Our operations expose us to the risk that increased trade protectionism will adversely affect our business. In the United States, there is significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other exporting countries, including with respect to trade policies, treaties, government regulations and tariffs. Any increased trade barriers or restrictions on trade, especially trade with China, could depress economic activities and restrict our access to suppliers or customers and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Political tensions between the U.S. and China have escalated due to, among other things, tariff policies, trade disputes, sanctions imposed by the U.S. on certain officials of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the central government of the PRC, U.S. export restrictions regarding China, restrictions on U.S. investments in designated “Communist Chinese Military Companies,” and the executive orders issued by U.S. President Donald J. Trump that seek to prohibit certain transactions certain companies. In addition, the PRC government has enacted countermeasures legislation. Rising political tensions could reduce levels of trades, investments, technological exchanges and other economic activities between the two major economies, which would have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Furthermore, there have been media reports on deliberations within the U.S. government regarding potentially limiting or restricting companies with operations in the PRC from accessing U.S. capital markets. If any such deliberations were to materialize, the resulting legislation may have a material and adverse impact on the stock performance of issuers with operations in the PRC listing in the U.S. It is unclear if this proposed legislation would be enacted.

21

Table of Contents

The U.S. government has imposed (in certain cases, subject to deferral) significant tariffs on imports from certain jurisdictions including China, and other jurisdictions have responded, with retaliatory punitive actions, including tariffs on U.S. imports. Historically, tariffs and trade disputes have led to increased political tensions, between the U.S. and China, as well as between other countries. Political tensions as a result of trade policies could reduce trade volume, cross-border investment, technological exchange, and other economic activities between major economies, resulting in a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial and stock markets. Moreover, the heightened geopolitical uncertainty and potential for further escalation may discourage investments in securities issued by China-based issuers and companies such as ours with significant operations in China, which in turn could affect the global macroeconomic environment. Any such geopolitical developments could materially and adversely affect the price of our ordinary shares.

Changes in and uncertainties relating to political or social conditions, government policies or regulations in China could have a material and adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Substantially all of our assets are located in China, and substantially all of our revenue is derived from our operations in China. Accordingly, our results of operations, financial condition and prospects are influenced by economic, political and legal developments in China. The PRC government exercises significant control over China’s economy through strategically allocating resources, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. While the PRC economy has experienced significant growth over the past decades, that growth has been uneven across different regions and between economic sectors and may not continue. Any adverse changes in economic conditions, policies, laws or regulations in China could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results, lead to reduction in demand for our products and adversely affect our competitive position, result in a material change in our operations, significantly limit or hinder our ability to offer securities to investors or cause the value of our securities to decline or become worthless.

As a significant part of our business is conducted in China, our business is subject to PRC laws, rules and regulations, which can change quickly and with little advance notice. See “— Uncertainties in the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations could limit the legal protections available to you and us” for more details. We face uncertainties in terms of enforcement of PRC laws, regulations and rules, which may lead to difficulties in complying with applicable regulatory requirements and availing legal protections available to us. These uncertainties could materially and adversely affect our ability to enforce the contracts we have entered and our business and results of operations, including any rights under the Reorganization Agreement and Cooperation Agreement.

The PRC government can exercise influence over the conduct of business in China as the government deems appropriate, including to further regulatory, political and/or social goals. Furthermore, the PRC government may choose to exert close oversight over securities offerings and other capital markets activities that are conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based companies. See also “— Securities offerings that we may conduct in the future may be subject to the approval, filing or other administration requirements of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or the CSRC, the Cyberspace Administration of China, or the CAC, or other PRC governmental authorities, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such approval, satisfy such requirements or complete such filings” for more details. Any such influence oversight or discretion could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and the value of our securities, including those that we may offer for sale in the future, or significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.

Changes in tax laws or tax rulings could negatively impact our income tax provision and net income.

Changes in tax laws or tax rulings, or changes in interpretations of existing tax laws, could affect our income tax provision and net income. There is a high level of uncertainty in today’s tax environment stemming from both global initiatives put forth by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (the “OECD”) and unilateral measures being implemented by various countries due to a historic lack of consensus on these global initiatives. As an example, the OECD has put forth two proposals – Pillar One and Pillar Two – that revise the existing profit allocation and nexus rules (profit allocation based on location of sales versus physical presence) and ensure a minimal level of taxation, respectively. Model rules were published by the OECD to implement the Pillar Two rules and commentary to the Pillar Two model rules were also released. The model rules and commentary allow the OECD’s Inclusive Framework members to begin implementing the Pillar Two rules. These changes, when enacted by various countries in which we do business, may increase our taxes in these countries. The Pillar Two rules have been implemented, or are in the process of being implemented, in a number of jurisdictions in which we conduct business including Singapore but not in China. We are subject to Pillar Two rules, however, the ultimate impact of any such changes on our tax obligations is uncertain.

In addition, the Trump administration has proposed a number of changes to the U.S. tax system and adopted tax legislation that, among other things, made permanent certain provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, such as the limitations on the deductibility of business interest expense, while the standard corporate tax rate of 21% remained unchanged. The effect of these tax laws on our operations and tax liabilities is unclear and could be material. As these and other tax laws and related regulations change, we are unable to predict which, U.S. tax reform proposals will be enacted into law, and what effects any enacted legislation might have on our tax liabilities. The Trump administration has also indicated that the United States may impose retaliatory measures with respect to jurisdictions that have, or are likely to, put in place tax rules that are extraterritorial or disproportionately affect American companies. The likelihood of these changes being enacted or implemented is unclear. We are currently unable to predict whether such changes will occur and, if so, the ultimate impact on our business. To the extent that such changes have a negative impact on us, our suppliers or our consumers, including as a result of related uncertainty, these changes may materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

Uncertainties in the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations could limit the legal protections available to you and us.

The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. From time to time, we may have to resort to administrative and court proceedings to enforce our legal rights. However, since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory and contractual terms, it may be difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules, some of which may not be published on a timely basis. As a result, there can also be no assurance that we would promptly become aware of a violation of a policy or rule, if such decision is not published publicly or promptly notified to us. In addition, any failure by us to respond to changes in the regulatory environment in China could materially and adversely affect our business and impede our ability to continue our operations.

Our investment in China, is subject to PRC regulations. The PRC Foreign Investment Law, or the FIL, effective on January 1, 2020, is the legal foundation governing us, a foreign investment enterprise. The FIL grants pre-establishment national treatment to foreign-invested entities, or FIEs, except for those FIEs that operate in industries specified as either “restricted” or “prohibited” from foreign investment in a “negative list”. The FIL provides that FIEs operating in “restricted” industries will require market entry clearance and other approvals from relevant government authorities. There are ongoing uncertainties in how these relevant regulations are implemented. These uncertainties may impact our corporate governance practices and increase compliance costs. In addition, the FIL imposes information reporting requirements on foreign investors and foreign invested enterprises.

The Measures for the Security Review of Foreign Investment, which took effect on January 18, 2021, regulates foreign investments which may raise “national defense and security” or “national security” concerns. Under these measures, a filing may be required for investments in military-related areas, or for investments in certain key sectors that result in obtaining actual control over the target enterprise, such as critical agricultural products, energy and resources, major equipment manufacturing, critical infrastructure, critical transport services, critical cultural products and services, critical information technology and internet products and services, critical financial services, key technology sectors and other critical sector; and if a foreign investment will or may affect national security, the relevant party shall file with the standing working office established at the National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”) (with NDRC and MOFCOM taking the lead) for the decision of whether to conduct security review. In the future, if we pursue growth through acquisitions that fall within the scope of these measures, the required security review process could be time consuming, and may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions. As the interpretation of what constitutes "national security" remains broad and evolving, any determination that our business operations or future activities are subject to this security review could result in increased regulatory burdens and materially affect our business operations and activities in China.

We are a holding company and depend on the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us in order to satisfy our financial obligations and to make dividend payments. Regulations in China regarding currency conversion could limit our ability to obtain sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our foreign currency requirements or to pay dividends to shareholders.

We are a holding company and our subsidiaries conduct all of our operations and own all of our operating assets. Our principal source of cash flow has historically been the dividends, if any, paid to us by Yuchai, as described under “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — B. Liquidity and Capital Resources.” As a result, our ability to pay dividends, if any, to our shareholders and to satisfy any financial obligations that we may have from time to time depends on the ability of our subsidiaries to generate profits available for distribution to us. The ability of a subsidiary to make these distributions is subject to, among other factors, the law of its jurisdiction of incorporation which regulates the payment of dividends.

Table of Contents

The PRC government regulates the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. Substantially all of our revenues and operating expenses are generated by our Chinese operating subsidiaries, and are denominated in Renminbi, while a portion of our indebtedness is, or in the future may be, denominated in US dollar and other foreign currencies. Under the existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, without prior approval of SAFE, cash generated from the operations of our subsidiaries in China could be used to pay dividends to us, while approval from or registration with appropriate governmental authorities is required where Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, our Chinese subsidiaries would need to obtain SAFE approval or complete a registration procedure if in the future they desire to use cash generated from their operations to pay off debt in a currency other than Renminbi owed to entities outside China or make other capital expenditure payments outside China in a currency other than Renminbi.

The PRC government may at its discretion further restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system further limits the ability of our Chinese subsidiaries from obtaining sufficient foreign currencies to satisfy their foreign currency demands, they may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to their shareholders, including us. We cannot predict the effect of future changes in Renminbi and foreign currency regulations on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

PRC regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control of currency conversion may restrict or delay us from using the proceeds of our offshore offerings to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries, which could adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

Any funds we transfer to our Chinese operating companies, either as a shareholder loan or as an increase in registered capital, are subject to approval by or registration with relevant governmental authorities in China. According to the relevant PRC regulations on FIEs in China, capital contributions to our Chinese operating companies are subject to registration with the State Administration for Market Regulation, or the SAMR or its local counterpart and registration with a local bank authorized by SAFE. In addition, (i) any foreign loan procured by our Chinese operating companies is required to be registered with SAFE or its local branches and (ii) any of our Chinese operating companies may not procure loans which exceed the difference between its total investment amount and registered capital or, as an alternative, they may only procure loans subject to the calculation approach and limitation as provided by the People’s Bank of China.

On March 30, 2015, the SAFE promulgated the Circular on Reforming the Management Approach Regarding the Foreign Exchange Capital Settlement of Foreign-Invested Enterprises, or SAFE Circular 19, which took effect as of June 1, 2015 and was amended on December 30, 2019 and on March 23, 2023. SAFE Circular 19 launched a nationwide reform of the administration of the settlement of the foreign exchange capitals of FIEs, which, subject to certain restrictions, allows FIEs to settle their foreign exchange capital at their discretion. Then the SAFE issued Circular on the Policies for Reforming and Standardizing Management of Foreign Exchange Settlement under the Capital Account effective on June 9, 2016, to further allow enterprises to convert their foreign debts from foreign currency to Renminbi on a self-discretionary basis. On October 23, 2019, SAFE further softened the capital fund policy by issuing the Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Further Promoting the Facilitation of Cross-Border Trade and Investment to allow non-investment FIEs to use their capital funds to make equity investments in China. On December 4, 2023, SAFE issued the Circular on Further Deepening Reform to Promote Cross-Border Trade and Investment Facilitation, or the 2023 Circular 28. Under the 2023 Circular 28, capital account asset realization accounts have been adjusted to capital account settlement accounts. Proceeds from equity transfers paid in foreign currency by domestic entities, as well as foreign exchange funds raised through overseas listings by domestic enterprises, can be directly deposited into capital account settlement accounts, with the funds in such accounts eligible for self-determined conversion and use. On September 12, 2025, SAFE issued the Circular on Matters Concerning Deepening the Reform of Foreign Exchange Management for Cross-border Investment and Financing, or 2025 Circular 43, which took effect on the same date. 2025 Circular 43 streamlines cross-border investment administration by eliminating registration requirements for preliminary expenses and domestic reinvestment, expands external debt quotas for high-tech enterprises, and optimizes capital account income usage by narrowing the negative list. Yuchai, as an FIE, is permitted to use its capital income from registered capital, foreign debt and overseas listing based on the current rules. However, such rules will be subject to further changes and there can be no assurance that the current flexibility could continue to apply to Yuchai, and violations of these circulars could result in severe monetary or other penalties.

Securities offerings that we may conduct in the future may be subject to the approval, filing or other administration requirements of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or the CSRC, the Cyberspace Administration of China, or the CAC, or other PRC governmental authorities, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such approval, satisfy such requirements or complete such filings.

As a significant part of our business is conducted in China, we are subject to various PRC laws, rules and regulations. Such laws, rules and regulations may affect our ability to conduct securities offerings in the future.

In February 2023, the CSRC promulgated the Trial Measures for Overseas Listing, and five related guidelines, or the Guidelines for Overseas Listing, which became effective on March 31, 2023. Under the Trial Measures for Overseas Listing, PRC domestic companies that seek to offer and list securities in overseas markets, either in direct or indirect means, are required to fulfill certain filing procedures with and report certain information to the CSRC. The Trial Measures for Overseas Listing provide that if an issuer meets both of the following criteria, the overseas offering and listing of securities conducted by such issuer shall be determined as an indirect overseas offering and listing by a PRC domestic enterprise and therefore subject to the filing and reporting requirements as required thereunder: (i) any of the operating revenue, total profits, total assets, or net assets of the PRC domestic enterprise(s) of the issuer in the most recent fiscal year accounts for more than 50% of the corresponding item in the issuer’s audited consolidated financial statements for the same period; and (ii) the main parts of the issuer’s operation activities are conducted in mainland China, or the principal operation premises are located in mainland China, or the majority of senior management personnel in charge of its business operation and management are PRC citizens or have habitual residences located in mainland China. The Trial Measures for Overseas Listing further stipulate that the determination as to whether a PRC domestic company is indirectly offering and listing securities in an overseas market shall be made on a substance-over-form basis. According to one of the Guidelines for Overseas Listing, where an issuer does not fall within the scope of the Trial Measures for Overseas Listing, but the risk factors disclosed in the submitted listing application documents to the relevant overseas market regulations are mainly related to mainland China, the principle of substance-over-form should be followed, and a determination may be made that the issuer falls within the scope which is subject to the filing requirements under the Trial Measures for Overseas Listing. The CSRC has clarified that PRC domestic companies that have already been listed overseas on or before the effective date of the Trial Measures for Overseas Listing can be deemed to be existing issuers, or the Existing Issuers. Existing Issuers are not required to complete the filling procedures required by the Trial Measures for Overseas Listing in connection with their past overseas offerings and listings, and instead would be required to file with the CSRC in connection with any future overseas financing activities that they conduct.

Furthermore, in case any of the following major issues occurs after the overseas offering and listing, the issuer is also required to report the specific information to the CSRC within three working days of the occurrence and the announcement of the relevant issues: (1) change of control; (2) the foreign securities regulatory body or the relevant competent authority has taken such measures as investigation and punishment; (3) change of listing status or listing board; (4) voluntary of compulsory termination of listing. Where there is any material change in the major business and operation of the issuer after overseas offering and listing, and such change does not fall within the scope of filing, the issuer shall, within three working days of the occurrence of such change, submit a special report and a legal opinion issued by a domestic law firm to the CSRC to explain the relevant situation.

In February 2023, the CSRC and certain other PRC regulatory authorities also promulgated the Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Confidentiality and Archives Administrative Provisions, which came into effect on March 31, 2023. Pursuant to the Confidentiality and Archives Administrative Provisions, a PRC domestic enterprise that seeks overseas offering and listing, whether directly or indirectly through an overseas listed entity, must strictly abide by applicable PRC laws and regulations, including by enhancing legal awareness in relation to keeping state secrets and strengthening its archives administration, instituting a sound confidentiality and archives administration system, and taking necessary measures to fulfill confidentiality and archives administration obligations. Where a PRC domestic company, either directly or through its overseas listed entity, publicly discloses or provides to relevant individuals or entities including securities companies, securities service providers and overseas regulators, any documents and materials that contain state secrets or working secrets of government agencies, it must first obtain approval from competent authorities according to law, and make certain filings with the secrecy administrative department at the same level. In the event that such documents and materials, if leaked, would be detrimental to national security or public interest, the PRC domestic company must strictly complete the relevant procedures as stipulated by applicable national regulations. Where a PRC domestic company, after completing the relevant procedures, provides to securities companies, securities service providers or other entities with any documents and materials that contain state secrets or working secrets of government agencies, or any other documents and materials that would be detrimental to national security or public interest if leaked, a non-disclosure agreement must be signed between the provider and receiver of such information according to the relevant PRC laws and regulations, which must specify, among others, the obligations and liabilities on confidentiality held by such securities companies and securities service providers. Specifically, when a PRC domestic company provides accounting archives or copies of accounting archives to any entities including securities companies, securities service providers or overseas regulators and individuals, it must complete the due procedures in compliance with applicable national regulations.

There are substantial uncertainties as to the implementation and interpretation of the Trial Measures for Overseas Listing and the Confidentiality and Archives Administrative Provisions, and how they will affect any securities offerings that we may choose to conduct in the future, and it is still uncertain how PRC governmental authorities will regulate overseas listings in general going forward of companies that have significant operations in the PRC. As a significant portion of our operations are currently based in the PRC, it is likely that future securities offerings or potential other listing that we may choose to conduct will be subject to the foregoing rules and requirements. If we (i) do not receive or maintain any required approvals or record-filing, (ii) inadvertently conclude that approvals or record-filing are not required, or (iii) if the CSRC or other regulatory agencies later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring us to obtain their approvals, filings, registrations or other kinds of authorizations for any of our future offerings or future capital raisings, we may be unable to conduct such future securities offerings on schedule, in a timely manner or at all in a timely manner, or at all. Any failure regarding such approval and/or filing requirements may cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

PRC regulators have been increasingly focused on regulation in areas of data security and data protection and the PRC regulatory requirements regarding cybersecurity are evolving. The CAC and other PRC regulators have promulgated various rules, regulations and measures regarding data collection, processing, use and security. For more information, see “— Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — We are dependent on information technology and our systems and infrastructure face certain risks, including cybersecurity risks and data leakage risks. Any failure to comply with the various applicable laws and regulations related to data security and cybersecurity could lead to liabilities, penalties or other regulatory actions, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.” If PRC oversight on cybersecurity and data protection regulations leads us to become subject to regulatory inspection or review or require us to take any specific actions, it could cause us to delay, suspend, and terminate securities offerings or capital raisings that we may choose to conduct in the future.

United States regulators may be limited in their ability to conduct investigations or inspections of our operations in China.

U.S. public companies that have or had a substantial portion of their operations in China, have been the subject of intense scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity by investors, financial commentators and regulatory agencies, such as the SEC. As we have substantial operations within China, the increased regulatory scrutiny focus on U.S.-listed companies with operations in China could add uncertainties to our business operations, share price and reputation. The SEC, the Department of Justice and other U.S. authorities may have difficulties in bringing and enforcing actions against public companies incorporated in, or with substantial operations in, China, or their respective directors and officers who are based in China. The SEC has stated that there are significant legal and other obstacles to obtaining information needed for investigations or litigation in China. China’s securities law that became effective in March 2020 provides, among other things, that no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within the territory of China. Furthermore, in February 2023, the CSRC and several other Chinese authorities promulgated the Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, which provide that where an overseas securities regulator and a competent overseas authority requests to inspect, investigate or collect evidence from a Chinese domestic company concerning overseas offering and listing, or to inspect, investigate, or collect evidence from domestic Chinese securities companies and securities service providers that undertake relevant businesses for such Chinese domestic companies, such inspection, investigation and evidence collection will be conducted under a cross-border regulatory cooperation mechanism, and the CSRC or other competent Chinese authorities will provide necessary assistance pursuant to bilateral and multilateral cooperation mechanisms. Chinese domestic companies, securities companies and securities service providers must first obtain approval from the CSRC or other competent Chinese authorities before cooperating with the inspection and investigation by the overseas securities regulator or competent overseas authority, or providing documents and materials requested in such inspection and investigation. Accordingly, without governmental approval in China, no entity or individual in China may provide documents and information relating to securities business activities to overseas regulators when it is under direct investigation or evidence discovery conducted by overseas regulators, which could present significant legal and other obstacles to obtaining information needed for investigations and litigation conducted outside of China.

If it is determined that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board is unable to inspect or investigate our auditor completely, our ordinary shares may be prohibited from being traded on a national exchange. The delisting of our ordinary shares, or the threat of being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment.

Under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCAA, which was enacted in December 2020, the SEC shall prohibit securities of any foreign company from being listed on a U.S. securities exchange or traded “over-the-counter” if a company retains a foreign accounting firm that cannot be inspected by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, for three consecutive years, beginning in 2021. The HFCAA includes requirements for the SEC to identify issuers whose audit work is performed by auditors that the PCAOB, is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a restriction imposed by a non-U.S. authority in the auditor’s local jurisdiction. Under the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the AHFCAA, which was enacted in December 2022, our securities may be prohibited from trading on the NYSE if our auditor is located in a foreign jurisdiction and the PCAOB determines that it is unable to inspect or investigate it completely for three consecutive years because of a position taken by an authority in the foreign jurisdiction, which could ultimately result in our shares being delisted. The AHFCAA amended the HFCAA by requesting the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchange if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three.

On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in: (1) mainland China of the People’s Republic of China, because of a position taken by one or more authorities in mainland China; and (2) Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region and dependency of the PRC, because of a position taken by one or more authorities in Hong Kong.

Our independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit reports included in our annual reports filed with the SEC, as an auditor of companies whose shares are publicly traded in the United States, is registered with the PCAOB. As a PCAOB registered firm, our auditor is required by the laws of the United States to undergo regular inspections by the PCAOB to assess its compliance with relevant U.S. laws and professional standards.

On August 26, 2022, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC, and the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol, or the Protocol, governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in China and Hong Kong. The Protocol gives the PCAOB independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and the ability to transfer information to the SEC. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it was able to secure full access to inspect and investigate PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong in 2022, and the PCAOB Board vacated its previous determinations that the PCAOB was unable to fully inspect or investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong.

On December 29, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, was signed into law, which amended the HFCAA (i) to reduce the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA from three years to two, and (ii) so that any foreign jurisdiction could be the reason why the PCAOB does not have complete access to inspect or investigate a company’s auditor. As it was originally enacted, the HFCAA applied only if the PCAOB’s inability to inspect or investigate was due to a position taken by an authority in the foreign jurisdiction where the relevant public accounting firm is located. As a result of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, the HFCAA also applies if the PCAOB’s inability to inspect or investigate the relevant accounting firm is due to a position taken by an authority in any foreign jurisdiction. The denying jurisdiction does not need to be where the accounting firm is located.

Whether the PCAOB will continue to be able to satisfactorily conduct inspections of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong is subject to uncertainty and depends on a number of factors, all of which are out of our control. There can be no assurance that we or our auditor will be able to comply with requirements imposed or possible new regulations adopted by U.S. regulators in the future. The market prices of our shares could be adversely affected as a result of possible negative impacts of the HFCAA and other similar rules and regulations. It remains unclear what further actions the SEC, the PCAOB or NYSE may take to address these issues and what impact those actions may have on companies that have significant operations in the PRC and have securities listed on a U.S. stock exchange, like us. Legislative and regulatory actions and proceedings and new rules resulting from these efforts to increase U.S. regulatory access to audit information could create uncertainty for investors or increase the risk of our securities being delisted and prohibited from trading on a U.S. stock exchange, and the market price of our shares could be adversely affected.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A.History and Development of the Company

The Company

China Yuchai International Limited is a Bermuda holding company established on April 29, 1993 to own a controlling interest in Yuchai. We currently own, through six of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, 76.4% of the outstanding shares of Yuchai. We operate as an exempted company limited by shares under The Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda. Our registered office is located at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM11, Bermuda. On March 7, 2008, we registered a branch office of the Company in Singapore, located at 16 Raffles Quay #26-00, Hong Leong Building, Singapore 048581. Our principal operating office is located at 16 Raffles Quay #39-01A, Hong Leong Building, Singapore 048581. Our telephone number is (+65) 6220-8411. Our transfer agent and registrar in the United States is Computershare Inc., located at 111 Townsquare Place, Suite 1505, Jersey City, NJ 07310. The SEC maintains a website at www.sec.gov/ that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding registrants that make electronic filings with the SEC, including our Company. Our website address is www.cyilimited.com. The information contained on, or accessible through, our website is not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report.

Until August 2002, we were controlled by Diesel Machinery, a company that was 53.0% owned by Hong Leong Asia, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hong Leong China. Hong Leong China owns HL Technology which held shares in us through Diesel Machinery. Diesel Machinery was also 47.0% owned by China Everbright Holdings Company Limited, or China Everbright Holdings, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Coomber. Hong Leong Asia, a company listed on the Singapore Exchange, is part of the Hong Leong Investment group of companies, which was founded in 1941 by the Kwek family of Singapore and remains one of the largest privately-controlled business groups in Southeast Asia. In 2002, China Everbright Holdings and Coomber gave notice to Diesel Machinery and the other shareholders of Diesel Machinery to effect a liquidation of Diesel Machinery. As a result of the liquidation, Hong Leong Asia acquired the special share through HL Technology which entitles Hong Leong Asia to elect a majority of our directors and also to veto any resolution of our shareholders. China Everbright Holdings sold its shareholding in Coomber, which held shares of our common stock, in October 2002 to Goldman Industrial Limited, or Goldman, and China Everbright Holdings is no longer a shareholder of our Company. Goldman was a subsidiary of Zhong Lin Development Company Limited, or Zhong Lin, an investment vehicle of the city government of Yulin in Guangxi, China until September 29, 2006 when Zhong Lin sold its shareholding in Goldman to the GY Group.

We provide certain management, financial planning, internal audit services, internal control testing, IFRS Accounting Standards training, business enhancement consulting and other services to Yuchai and we continue to have a team working full-time at Yuchai’s principal manufacturing facilities in Yulin city. In addition, the President, Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President of Operations and a manager proficient in Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX, travel frequently for as much as up to two weeks at a time, to Yuchai to actively participate in Yuchai’s operations and decision-making process.

Our main operating asset has historically been, and continues to be, our ownership interest in Yuchai, and our primary source of cash flow has historically been our share of the dividends, if any, paid by Yuchai and investment income thereon. However, on February 7, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company announced its approval of the implementation of a business expansion and diversification plan by the Company. Following such announcement, we have looked for new business opportunities to seek to reduce our financial dependence on Yuchai:

•In March 2005, we acquired a 15.0% interest in the capital of TCL through Venture Delta Limited (“Venture Delta” or “VDL”). In 2022, we fully disposed of our shareholding interest in TCL.

•In February 2006, we acquired debt and equity securities in HLGE through two wholly-owned subsidiaries. Our shareholding in HLGE has changed through various transactions and as of December 31, 2025, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Grace Star Services Limited (“Grace Star”), we had a 49.1% shareholding interest in HLGE, which has remained unchanged as of February 27, 2026. The HLGE Group is engaged in hospitality and property development activities conducted mainly in Malaysia. For more details on our investments in HLGE, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects —Business Expansion and Diversification Plan.”

Since January 1, 2025, there have been no public takeovers by third parties in respect of our shares, and we have not made any public takeovers in respect of other companies’ shares.

Yuchai

Yuchai was founded in 1951. Prior to 1984, Yuchai was a small producer of low-power diesel engines for agricultural machinery. In 1984, Yuchai introduced the earliest model of its YC6J diesel engine for medium-duty trucks. In July 1992, in order to raise funds for further expansion, Yuchai was restructured into a joint stock company. As a result of this restructuring, Yuchai was incorporated as a joint stock company in July 1992 and succeeded the machinery business of Yulin Diesel. All of Yulin Diesel’s businesses, other than its machinery business, as well as certain social service-related operations, assets, liabilities and employees (for example, cafeterias, cleaning and security services, a hotel and a department store), were transferred to the GY Group. The GY Group also became the majority shareholder of Yuchai through its ownership stake of approximately 104 million shares of Yuchai, or GY Group Shares. In connection with its incorporation, Yuchai also issued seven million shares to various Chinese institutional investors, or Legal Person Shares.

In May 1993, in order to finance further expansion, Yuchai sold shares to the Company. Our initial shareholders, consisting of HL Technology, Sun Yuan Overseas (BVI) Ltd., or Sun Yuan BVI, The Cathay Investment Fund, Limited, or Cathay, GS Capital Partners L.P., and Coomber, then a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Everbright Holdings and, thus, controlled by China Everbright International Limited, or China Everbright International, made their initial investments in Yuchai in May 1993, when their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries purchased for cash in the aggregate 200 million newly-issued shares of Yuchai (51.3% of the then-outstanding shares of Yuchai). These shareholders exchanged with the Company their shareholdings in their wholly-owned subsidiaries, six companies which held Foreign Shares of Yuchai, for 20 million shares of our common stock (after giving effect to a 10-for-1 stock split in July 1994, or the Stock Split). In connection therewith, Yuchai became a Sino-foreign joint stock company (i.e., a foreign-invested enterprise under the PRC Foreign Investment Law effective on January 1, 2020) and became subject to the laws and regulations relating to joint stock limited liability companies and Sino-foreign joint venture companies in China. Foreign Shares may be held by and transferred to non-Chinese legal and natural persons, subject to the approval of the Ministry of Commerce, the successor entity to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of China, or MOFTEC. Foreign Shares are entitled to the same economic rights as GY Group Shares and Legal Person Shares. GY Group Shares are shares purchased with state assets by government departments or organizations authorized to represent state investment. Legal Person Shares are shares purchased by Chinese legal persons or institutions or social groups with legal person status and with assets authorized by the state for use in business.

In November 1994, we purchased from an affiliate of China Everbright Holdings 78,015,500 Foreign Shares of Yuchai in exchange for the issuance of 7,801,550 shares of our common stock (after giving effect to the Stock Split), or the China Everbright Holdings Purchase. The 78,015,500 Foreign Shares of Yuchai held by Earnest Assets Limited, a subsidiary of China Everbright Holdings and China Everbright International before its sale to us had been originally issued as Legal Person Shares and GY Group Shares and were converted to Foreign Shares, pursuant to approvals granted by MOFTEC. As a result, the Company became the owner of each of these six companies: Hong Leong Technology Systems (BVI) Ltd., Tsang & Ong Nominees (BVI) Ltd., Cathay Diesel Holdings Ltd., Goldman Sachs Guangxi Holdings (BVI) Ltd., Youngstar Holdings Limited and Earnest Assets Limited.

In December 1994, we sold 7,538,450 shares of common stock in our initial public offering and used substantially all of the proceeds to finance our six wholly-owned subsidiaries’ purchase of 83,404,650 additional Foreign Shares in Yuchai.

In connection with our purchase, through our six wholly-owned subsidiaries, of additional Yuchai Shares with proceeds of our initial public offering, Yuchai offered additional shares pro rata to its other existing shareholders (30 shares for each 100 shares owned) in accordance with such shareholders’ pre-emptive rights, and each of our subsidiaries was able to acquire these additional Foreign Shares in Yuchai. Such pro rata offering (including the offering to the Company) is referred to herein as the “Yuchai Offering.” Certain Legal Person shareholders subscribed for additional shares in the Yuchai Offering. The GY Group informed Yuchai at the time that it would not subscribe for any of its portion of Yuchai Shares (31,345,094 shares) in the Yuchai Offering. In order to obtain MOFTEC’s approval of the Yuchai Offering, the GY Group was given the right by Yuchai’s Board of Directors to subscribe for approximately 31 million shares of Yuchai at a price of RMB 6.29 per share at any time prior to December 1998. This was because provisional regulations of the State Administration Bureau of State Property, or SABSP, and the State Committee of Economic System Reform, or SCESR, published in November 1994, imposed on any holder of state-owned shares certain obligations to protect its interest in any share offering. Under such regulations, the GY Group could have been required to subscribe for Yuchai Shares in the Yuchai Offering. Yuchai’s shareholders subsequently agreed to extend the duration of such subscription right to March 31, 2002 (the exercise of which would have reduced our ownership of Yuchai from 76.4% to 71.7%). The GY Group informed the shareholders of Yuchai that it had determined not to subscribe for additional Yuchai Shares and this determination was noted by Yuchai’s Board of Directors on November 1, 2002. However, given the November 1994 provisional regulations of the SABSP and the SCESR, the SABSP, the SCESR and/or the Ministry of Commerce may take action against the GY Group, and there can be no assurance that any such action would not, directly or indirectly, have a material adverse effect on Yuchai or the Company.

Reorganization Agreement

On April 7, 2005, we entered into the Reorganization Agreement with Yuchai and Coomber, which is intended to be in furtherance of the implementation of the restructuring contemplated in the agreement dated July 19, 2003 between the Company and Yuchai with respect to the Company’s investment in Yuchai (the “July 2003 Agreement”), as amended and incorporated into the Cooperation Agreement on June 30, 2007. The terms of the Reorganization Agreement have also been acknowledged and agreed to by GY. The Reorganization Agreement provides for the implementation of corporate governance guidelines approved by the directors and shareholders of Yuchai in November 2002 and outlines steps for the adoption of corporate governance practices at Yuchai conforming to international custom and practice. Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, Yuchai also acknowledged and affirmed our continued rights as majority shareholder to direct the management and policies of Yuchai through Yuchai’s Board of Directors.

Subsequent to the execution of the Reorganization Agreement, a number of steps have been taken by the parties thereto towards its implementation. For example, Yuchai’s directors and shareholders have confirmed that the amendments to Yuchai’s Articles of Association and corporate governance guidelines required to be adopted by Yuchai pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement have been ratified and implemented, and that steps are being taken to have such amendments and guidelines approved by the relevant Chinese authorities. The amended Articles of Association was approved by the Guangxi Department of Commerce on December 2, 2009.

Cooperation Agreement

The Reorganization Agreement was scheduled to terminate on June 30, 2007. On June 30, 2007, we entered into the Cooperation Agreement with Yuchai, Coomber and GY. The Cooperation Agreement amends certain terms of the Reorganization Agreement, as amended, among CYI, Yuchai and Coomber, and as so amended, incorporates the terms of the Reorganization Agreement.

Pursuant to the amendments to the Reorganization Agreement, the Company agreed that the restructuring and spin-off of Yuchai would not be effected, and, recognizing the understandings that have been reached between the Company and GY to jointly undertake efforts to expand the business of Yuchai, the Company would not seek to recover the anti-dilution fee of US$20 million from Yuchai.

The Cooperation Agreement provides that the parties will explore new business opportunities and ventures for the growth and expansion of Yuchai’s existing businesses. Although the parties to the Cooperation Agreement expect to work towards its implementation as expeditiously as possible, no assurance can be given as to when the transactions contemplated therein will be consummated.

Various amendments to Yuchai’s Articles of Association had been ratified and adopted by Yuchai in 2007 and were approved by the Guangxi Department of Commerce on December 2, 2009.

B. Business Overview

Emission Standards

Since the introduction of China National I in the early 2000s, Chinese regulators have progressively tightened the limits on permissible emissions of on-road diesel vehicles and off-road machinery. In an effort to combat increasing air pollution, China’s vehicle industry transitioned to the National IV and National V emission standards from 2013 to 2018, reflecting a significant leap in emission control within just five years. The latest emission standard, known as National VI, was implemented in July 2021. Yuchai produces diesel engines and natural gas engines compliant with the National V and National VI emission standards, and has a portfolio of engines that are compliant with National VIb emission standards implemented in July 2023. It also develops alternative fuels and environmentally friendly hybrid systems with improved fuel efficiency.

For off-road machinery, the Tier-3 emission standards were implemented nationwide on December 1, 2016. The Tier-4 emission standards have been enforced from December 2022 for all diesel off-road equipment with engine sizes smaller than 560kW. Yuchai has fulfilled the Tier-4 emission standards for use in off-road machinery.

China may introduce the next generation of emission standards, commonly referred to as National VII for on-road vehicles and Tier-5 for off-road machinery. However, as of February 27, 2026, no official announcement or timeline for the implementation of National VII and Tier-5 has been formally issued by the relevant regulatory authorities.

China has introduced and, in the future, may introduce certain regulatory requirements applicable to specific vehicle segments from time to time. In September 2024, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology published and finalized the Stage 4 Fuel Consumption Standards for Commercial Vehicles. These standards impose more stringent fuel consumption limits on new heavy-duty vehicles with a gross weight exceeding 3,500 kg, including straight trucks, dump trucks, tractor-trailers, and buses. On average, the Stage 4 standards are estimated to tighten fuel consumption requirements by approximately 10% to 15% compared to the previous Stage 3 limits. The implementation scheduled for these new standards follows a phased approach. Effective July 1, 2025, all new heavy-duty vehicle type approval must comply with the Stage 4 standards. By August 1, 2027, all new heavy-duty vehicles sold or registered in China must meet these standards. Yuchai has been working with OEMs partners to meet these targets through improvement of both engine and integrated vehicle design. Yuchai’s National VI compliant engines are fully compliant with the new regulation.

Products and Key Product Development — Yuchai

Yuchai engages in the design, manufacture, assembly, and sale of a wide variety of light-, medium- and heavy-duty engines for trucks, buses, pickups, construction and agricultural equipment, and marine and power generation applications. Yuchai offers a comprehensive portfolio of powertrain solutions, including but not limited to diesel, natural gas, alternate fuels and new energy products such as pure electric, range extenders, and hybrid and fuel cell systems.

Procurement

Yuchai manufactures engine blocks, cylinder heads, crankshafts, camshafts and certain other key parts. Third-party suppliers, including related parties, provide the remaining engine parts and components. The production process involves the complete assembly and testing of the finished products. Yuchai’s procurement policy aims to source purchases from more than one supplier. Yuchai is continually seeking to improve its procurement strategy by seeking new suppliers with competitive prices and quality.

Yuchai has progressively reduced its reliance on imported parts and components in recent years, in part due to an increasing number of international suppliers having local manufacturing and logistics capabilities in China. For instance, Yuchai’s fuel combustion equipment and its electronic control systems are purchased from the local factory of an international supplier operating in China.

Engine Block

Yuchai cast and molded more than 400,000 units of engine blocks in 2025, representing a large portion of its engine blocks used in production.

Raw Materials

Yuchai purchases raw materials, principally scrap steel and cast iron, from domestic suppliers. An increase in the prices of these raw materials would generally increase our costs of production. We have experienced volatility in the prices of raw materials in the past. See also “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — If prices of energy, raw materials or components increase, it may adversely affect our profitability or cause us to suffer operating losses.”

Manufacturing Capacity Expansion

Yuchai believes that the current production capacity of all engine lines shall cater for the organic growth of business and its products offering and portfolio. Nevertheless, Yuchai is cautiously evaluating the continuous upgrade and enhancement of manufacturing capabilities in order to meet evolving market demands and expectations. Yuchai also continuously assesses customer experience and refines its production strategies to capture market opportunities. Given the capital-intensive nature of our capacity expansion and its relatively long payback period, Yuchai outsources certain machining processes to external service providers to optimize internal capacity utilization and support incremental expansion, enabling more flexible and efficient scaling.

Research and Development

Yuchai has devoted substantial resources to research and development (“R&D”) to enhance technological capabilities, improve product performance and maintain competitiveness. Its R&D efforts focus primarily on designing new products, improving manufacturing processes and adapting technologies based on evolving market requirements. Yuchai also collaborates with research institutions in China and globally, design consulting firms and engine and components manufacturers to support its technology development efforts. It maintains a dedicated and professional R&D team. Dr. Lin Tiejian, the Chief Engineer of Yuchai was honored in January 2024 with the National Engineer Award for his exceptional contributions to the field of engineering technology in China.

A significant portion of our R&D efforts has been dedicated to ensuring that our product lineup meets evolving environmental mandates. Yuchai has developed a range of products that comply with stringent emission standards, including National VI standards particularly the more stringent National VIb standards for on-road vehicles, as well as Tier 4 standards for off-road machinery. We continue to invest to upgrade our engines for better performance, improved fuel efficiency, and reduced noise, vibration, and harshness.

In the field of new energy, Yuchai has been developing alternative fuel combustion engines, including hydrogen, methanol and ammonia combustion. In September 2023, Yuchai launched the 350hp IE-Power system for heavy-duty tractors, featuring a continuously variable transmission, enhanced maneuverability and performance for heavy-duty tractors and other agricultural machinery. In 2024, Yuchai Simlan commenced small-batch production of a new energy locomotive equipped with the YCK16 500kW range extender. This deployment represents an expansion in the rail transit sector, demonstrating our dedication to promoting the green transformation and upgrading new energy rail transit equipment. With its expertise in the field of hydrogen combustion engines, Yuchai was appointed as a Committee Member of the new Hydrogen Combustion Engine Innovation Consortium division of the China Internal Combustion Engine Society in 2024. In 2025, Yuchai Simlan expanded its product range with the introduction of 270/400kW 13T electric drive axle power system for heavy-duty trucks, 140/230 kW integrated motor and electronic control power system for light trucks, and 350/510kW overload box drive system for heavy-duty trucks.

Yuchai has been actively advancing its new energy strategy through the development and commercialization of alternative fuel and electrified power solutions. It is investing in hydrogen, methanol, and ammonia combustion technologies, while expanding its presence across on-road, off-road, marine, and rail transit applications. Recent initiatives include the launch of integrated electric and hybrid powertrain systems, range extenders, and high-performance engines tailored for heavy-duty vehicles, agricultural machinery, and power generation. Yuchai has also begun commercial deployment of hydrogen-powered engines and achieved regulatory certification for methanol engines, demonstrating tangible progress in low- and zero-emission technologies. These efforts reflect Yuchai’s commitment to driving the green transformation of the transportation and equipment industries through innovation in new energy solutions.

Future Products

Yuchai believes that its long-term business prospects will largely depend upon its ability to develop and commercialize new or improved products with enhanced quality and competitive pricing. Future products may incorporate evolving technologies and may require expertise in markets where Yuchai currently has limited experience. Yuchai intends to continue to work with international design consulting firms and international manufacturers for technological assistance in improving and developing its combustion engine products and new energy systems, and expects such cooperation to continue. Yuchai has participated in collaborations with research institutions and technology providers to advance its new energy technologies, such as fuel-cell systems, and intends to further expand these R&D efforts for its future products.

The development and commercialization of new products and energy solutions generally require significant capital investment, including expenditures on advanced manufacturing equipment and technologies. See “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — Competition from other diesel engine manufacturers may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects.”

Intellectual Property

As of December 31, 2025, Yuchai had established a large intellectual property portfolio, consisting of 1,634 invention patents, 2,349 utility model patents, and 15 design patents, as well as 27 patents filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty for international protection and 260 software copyrights in China. Depending on the type of patent, including international patents, the term of protection is generally 10 or 20 years from the filing date. The term of protection for software copyrights is 50 years from its first publication.

Yuchai’s patent development efforts focus on enhancing product performance, manufacturability and cost competitiveness across its product portfolio. Yuchai’s patents can be broadly categorized into three groups:

•Structural patents, which focus on fundamental design innovation and refinement of core engine components, including cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, crankshafts, pistons and connecting rods, with an emphasis on high-strength, lightweight solutions;

•Control patents, which relate to the optimization of engine operation throughout the product life cycle, including fuel injection, power and speed control, cooling and lubrication systems, intake and exhaust management, turbo charging control and error diagnostics; and

•Process patents, which focus on manufacturing and assembly processes for key components, improving precision, consistency and production efficiency. These include advancements in process parameters and proprietary techniques addressing technical challenges in areas such as precision machining, heat treatment and assembly calibration.

Yuchai seeks to protect its technology and intellectual property through a combination of trademark, copyright, patent and trade secret protection laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions. Yuchai enters into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with key R&D personnel, and maintains strict controls over access to its proprietary technologies and information. It has adopted and implemented internal procedures for monitoring and combating the counterfeiting of its products and protecting its intellectual property rights. Externally, it engages third-party service providers to assist it to track and take actions against such illegal counterfeiting of its products.

Yuchai primarily develops its technologies and patents for its own production and sales, while also exploring opportunities to commercialize its technologies and patents in overseas markets. In 2024, Yuchai entered into a comprehensive cooperation agreement with Kim Long Motor Hue, or Kim Long Motor, a subsidiary of Vietnam’s FUTA Group. Under this agreement, Yuchai granted Kim Long Motor technology licensing rights for certain model engine series, which will be manufactured for trucks, buses and other commercial vehicles in Vietnam. Kim Long Motor has exclusive sales rights for these engines in the Vietnam market, along with priority sales rights in other ASEAN countries and South Korea, as well as aftermarket service rights in these regions. These licenses are valid for 15 years, with total licensing fees of US$28 million.

GY owns and maintains the Chinese trademark registrations of the principal marks associated with the “Yuchai” name. Yuchai has entered into trademark license agreements with GY according to which Yuchai has the right to use and sub-license its branch, subsidiaries and joint ventures to use these trademarks. Yuchai believes that the “Yuchai” brand and logo is well recognized as a quality brand in China.

Sales, Marketing and Services

Sales and Marketing

The majority of Yuchai’s engines are sold directly to OEMs and distributors from its primary manufacturing facilities in Yulin City. This centralized model is supported by a network of regional offices in major geographic regions in China. To support its customer base, Yuchai provides technical assistance that includes the dispatch of engineers to provide on-site support and troubleshooting for OEM partners. As of December 31, 2025, Yuchai’s sales and marketing workforce consisted of 945 employees, the significant majority of whom are located in China to facilitate market coverage and customer responsiveness.

China-based OEMs that integrate Yuchai’s engines into their equipment have expanded their sales in overseas markets in recent years. This has led to an increase in on-road vehicles and off-road machinery powered by Yuchai products in overseas markets. We estimate that over one-quarter of Yuchai products sold in the domestic China market were integrated into products sold by China-based OEMs in overseas markets in 2025. To build on this global momentum, Yuchai has increased its marketing efforts in overseas markets. Yuchai has also expanded its service capabilities internationally to provide after-sales and technical support for Yuchai-powered products in overseas markets and promote reliability for end users globally.

A significant portion of our total sales is attributable to our largest customers. In 2025, our sales to our top five customers accounted for 35.5% of our total revenue. Our top customer is a leading automobile manufacturer group in China. In 2025, sales to our top customer as a group accounted for 17.1% of our total revenue. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview — Competition.”

As part of its credit procedures to control and manage its trade receivables, Yuchai may hold shipments for delivery if customers’ credit positions are not satisfactory or if customers have not made payments for earlier deliveries. There can be no assurance that such credit-controlling measures will successfully control Yuchai’s trade receivables balance, or that they will not adversely affect the future purchasing decisions of Yuchai’s customers. As of December 31, 2025, Yuchai had net trade and bills receivables of RMB 11.0 billion (US$1.6 billion), representing 43.7% of our consolidated current assets.

Yuchai employs a multifaceted approach for marketing, including national and international trade exhibitions, digital media campaigns, and targeted advertisements in industry publications. Yuchai also leverages participation in high-profile events to promote brand awareness. For instance, in 2021, Yuchai introduced its IE-Power smart powertrain system at the China International Agricultural Machinery Exhibition to highlight its innovation in heavy-duty agricultural sector. In 2022, Yuchai’s power generator sets, including a number of 1100kW high-horsepower units, were installed to provide power for the facilities and athlete quarters during the Qatar World Cup. In February 2025, Yuchai provided comprehensive technical support for the 9th Asian Winter Games in Harbin, China, assuming responsibility for the seamless operation of nearly 1,000 event service vehicles equipped with YCK08 and YCS06 engines. In recent years, Yuchai, through its Annual Partner Conference held in Yulin, has engaged with key stakeholders to facilitate strategic collaboration, share operational updates, and strengthen relationships with its suppliers, distribution partners and OEMs.

Export Sales

Most of Yuchai’s products that are exported outside of China are sold indirectly through third-party distributors who purchase them from Yuchai and resell them to end-users in subsequent and separate transactions. Yuchai exports a very small percentage of its products directly outside China. In 2025, Yuchai’s direct export revenue was RMB 391.0 million, representing 1.6% of its total revenue, compared to RMB 301.4 million, representing 1.6% of total revenue in 2024, and RMB 129.1 million, representing 0.7% of total revenue in 2023.

Customer Service

We are committed to building a professional customer service team and standardized customer service processes to provide high-quality services to our customers and the end users of our OEM customers. Yuchai has established a dedicated after-sales service team, providing a comprehensive after-sales service system that includes technical support, product commissioning, repair and maintenance, user operation and maintenance training and skills-enhancement training. Yuchai’s after-sales service team is primarily responsible for receiving and addressing customer complaints, conducting product diagnosis and providing after-sales maintenance and technical support. Yuchai has an extensive network of authorized service stations, providing comprehensive after-sales support with over 6,000 domestic service stations across and more than 500 authorized service stations overseas.

Yuchai’s products are covered by a warranty policy under which the costs of any warranty-related services or repairs are borne by Yuchai and all non-warranty activities are charged to customers. In relation to its products which are under warranty cover, Yuchai’s authorized service stations perform inspections and repairs on its products free of charge according to related warranty policy, to its customers or other end users, and subsequently report and settle the corresponding costs (including the service fees of the authorized service stations) on its customer relationship (CRM) system with such costs borne by Yuchai. Upon expiry of the warranty, our authorized service stations can continue to serve our customers or other end users with the costs borne by the customers or other end users.

Competition

The industry in which we operate is highly competitive and concentrated, and we face intense competition across our product types. We believe that we compete with our competitors for customers and market share on the basis of various factors, including brand recognition, the performance, quality, and reliability of our products, R&D capability, products’ compliance with emission standards, price, scale network, and after-sales service. Yuchai believes that its engines are highly regarded by on-road and off-road OEMs and consumers for leading performance and reliability. In addition, Yuchai believes that its nationwide network of authorized service stations and repair training centers in China provides a competitive advantage in after-sales support.

We compete primarily with major and well-established domestic Chinese and foreign competitors across each of our business and product segments. In certain markets and product categories, our competitors include our customers and their affiliates. In 2025, our sales to our top five customers accounted for 35.5% of our total revenue, with our top customer being a leading automobile manufacturer group in China that also competes with us. Some of Yuchai’s competitors have formed joint ventures with, or have technology assistance arrangements with, international diesel engine manufacturers or engine design consulting firms, and use foreign technology that is more advanced than our technology. We expect competition to intensify as a result of, among other things, improvements in competitors’ products, increased production capacity of competitors, and aggressive pricing strategies. Production capacity in the diesel engine industry has increased over the years, which has further intensified competition. See “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — Competition from other diesel engine manufacturers may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects.”

The ongoing development of the NEV market and the rapid advancement of new energy technologies may increase competitive pressures on our engine business and reduce demand for traditional diesel engine products. See “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — China’s vehicle and machinery industries are increasing their momentum to new energy applications. This may lead to a decrease in demand for our engines, affecting our business volume and profitability.”

The competition landscape has become increasingly challenging in recent years amid China’s economic slowdown and a sluggish real estate market, which have dampened demand for heavy machinery. In addition, increased cost pressures stemming from suppliers facing survival challenges or even closures, lead to higher production costs for Yuchai, while intense market competition limits the ability for Yuchai to adjust sales prices accordingly. See “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — We are dependent on our suppliers, some of whom are our single source suppliers for the components they supply.”

Table of Contents

D. Property, Plant and Equipment

Yuchai’s headquarters and primary manufacturing facilities are located in Yulin City in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Yuchai has the right to use approximately two million square meters of land, which is used primarily for production and employee housing. The principal production land area currently occupies approximately 1.8 million square meters, including the production factories and warehouses for all light-, medium- and heavy-duty engine models, a natural gas testing facility, a high horse power marine diesel engine and power generation engine plant, foundries, and various testing and supporting facilities. Yuchai also has production and assembly facilities for new energy products in Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and Wuxi in Jiangsu Province. In addition, Yuchai leases a number of regional sales offices in China. For the year ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the total production capacity of Yuchai in Yulin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, was approximately 633,000 units each year, based on a 2.0 shift five-day week at 80% utilization rate. Yuchai performs periodic maintenance and upgrading of production facilities. Yuchai also commits a significant portion of its annual capital expenditure for maintenance and upgrading to meet safety and production requirements. Yuchai is potentially exposed to varying environmental or natural disaster risks and could experience business interruptions, damage to its facilities and loss of life, all of which could have a material adverse effect on Yuchai’s business, financial condition and results of operations. See “— B. Business Overview — Products and Key Product Development — Yuchai — Production.”

E.Governance, Operation and Dissolution of Yuchai

Governance, operation and dissolution of Yuchai are governed by the PRC Foreign Investment Law, or the FIL, the Company Law of the People’s Republic of China which was initially promulgated on December 29, 1993 and other related laws and regulations, as well as by Yuchai’s Articles of Association. On December 29, 2023, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress further amended the Company Law, and this amendment mainly included the improvement of a company’s establishment and exit system, the optimization of a company’s organization, the improvement of a company’s capital system, the reinforcement of the responsibilities of controlling shareholders and management personnel, and the enhancement of a company’s social responsibility, etc. This amendment took effect on July 1, 2024. Yuchai is subject to the relevant PRC labor laws and regulations with respect to labor management, which is overseen by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. In accordance with these laws and regulations, management may hire and discharge employees and make other determinations with respect to wages, welfare, insurances and employee discipline. PRC laws and regulations require that before any company, including an FIE such as Yuchai, distributes profits, it must: (i) satisfy all tax liabilities; (ii) recover losses in previous years; and (iii) make contributions to statutory reserve fund in an amount equal to at least 10% of net income for the year determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in China, or PRC GAAP. However, the allocation of statutory reserve fund will not be further required once the accumulated amount of such fund reaches 50% of the registered capital of Yuchai.

Yuchai was previously a Sino-foreign joint stock company and was subject to the laws and regulations relating to joint stock limited liability companies and Sino-foreign joint venture companies in China, including the Sino-Foreign Equity Joint Venture Law. On March 15, 2019, the FIL was adopted. Upon its effectiveness on January 1, 2020, the Sino-Foreign Equity Joint Venture Law, the Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise Law and the Sino-Foreign Cooperative Joint Venture Law, together with their implementation rules and ancillary regulations, were repealed and the FIL became the legal foundation regulating FIEs. The FIL grants national treatment to FIEs, except for those FIEs that operate in industries specified as either “restricted” or “prohibited” from foreign investment in a “negative list”. Yuchai is an FIE governed by the FIL and related implementation rules. See also “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — General Risk Factor — Uncertainties in the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations could limit the legal protections available to you and us.”

Pursuant to Chinese law and Yuchai’s Articles of Association, Yuchai may be dissolved upon the occurrence of certain events, such as force majeure, severe losses, inability to obtain necessary supplies and other events that render Yuchai unable to continue its operations. Upon dissolution, Yuchai will form a liquidation committee. Final dissolution is subject to government review and approval.

Table of Contents

During 2003, we believe affiliates of the GY Group caused various Chinese government agencies to raise allegations of irregularities regarding the status of our ownership of and rights of control over Yuchai, which we believe was intended to try to limit our rights to exercise control over Yuchai. We further believe that such allegations were based on an inaccurate understanding of the structure of our ownership of Yuchai. We also believe that Yuchai’s ownership structure was validly approved by the relevant Chinese authorities, and that the shares of Yuchai held by our six wholly-owned subsidiaries are legally and validly held under Chinese law. We obtained legal opinions from two Chinese law firms confirming these matters (see the reports on Form 6-K filed by the Company with the SEC on April 1, 2005). We also took steps to communicate to the relevant Chinese government agencies the reasons for our position with respect to these matters. We implemented the July 2003 Agreement, the Reorganization Agreement, as amended, and the Cooperation Agreement to resolve the issues raised by the various Chinese governmental agencies relating to our share ownership in Yuchai and the continued corporate governance and other difficulties which we have had from time to time with respect to Yuchai. Based upon the above-mentioned legal opinions, we believe that in the event of a future dispute with the Chinese stakeholders at Yuchai, we expect to pursue as appropriate legal remedies in appropriate jurisdictions to seek to enforce our legal rights as the majority shareholder with a controlling financial interest in Yuchai to protect our investment for our benefit and the benefit of our shareholders. See also “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors.”

F.Environmental Matters

Yuchai expects that environmental standards and their enforcement in China will, as in many other countries, become more stringent over time, especially as technical advances make achievement of higher standards feasible. On January 18, 2016, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Environmental Protection required that all light-duty petrol vehicles, light-duty diesel buses, and heavy-duty diesel vehicles (for the purposes of public transportation, environmental sanitation and postal services) must comply with National V emission standards from January 1, 2017. All heavy- and light-duty diesel vehicles nationwide were required to comply with National V emission standards from July 1, 2017 and January 1, 2018, respectively. In June 2018, the MEE announced that all diesel powered heavy-duty vehicles must comply with the National VI emission standards in different phases: (a) natural gas engines driven heavy-duty vehicles are required to comply with the National VIa emission standards from July 1, 2019, and the National VIb emission standards from January 1, 2021; (b) diesel engine driven municipal vehicles are required to comply with the National VIa emission standards from July 1, 2020, and all diesel driven heavy-duty vehicles are to comply with the National VIa emission standards from July 1, 2021; and (c) all diesel driven heavy-duty vehicles are required to comply with the National VIb emission standards from July 1, 2023. In December 2020, the MEE announced the approval of Tier-4 emission standards and any off-road machinery (below 560 kW) that does not comply with the Tier-4 emission standards is prohibited for production, import and selling in China from December 2022.

We are subject to Chinese national and local environmental protection regulations, which currently impose environmental protection tax for the discharge of waste substances, require the payment of fines for pollution, and provide for the closure of any facility that fails to comply with orders requiring us to cease or improve upon certain activities causing environmental damage. Due to the nature of our business, we produce certain amounts of waste water, gas and solid waste materials during the course of our production. Yuchai has set up a sewage disposal system that meets national environmental discharge standards to process polluted water generated during production. In accordance with applicable regulations, sewage processing data and results of sewage treatment will be uploaded in real time to an online platform operated by the Ecology and Environment Department of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Polluted water will only be discharged upon confirmation that it meets the national standards. Yuchai delivers solid waste products to qualified third-party waste disposal sites for disposal and makes payments in respect thereof.

For recyclable waste such as foundry sand, third-party disposal sites with qualification would be engaged for recycling treatment to reduce waste of resources. In addition, Yuchai has also built treatment and filter systems for dust, fumes, panting and noise, respectively, to reduce the pollution resulting from Yuchai’s production. We believe our environmental protection facilities and systems are adequate for us to comply with the existing national, provincial and local environmental protection regulations. However, Chinese national, provincial or local authorities may impose additional or more stringent regulations which would require additional expenditure on environmental matters or changes in our processes or systems. See “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risk Related to our Business and Industry — We are subject to increasingly stringent policies and regulations related to the environment, climate change, and employee health and safety.”

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, our main business has been our 76.4% ownership interest in Yuchai. As a result, our financial condition and results of operations have depended primarily upon Yuchai’s financial condition and results of operations.

Overview

The Chinese economy maintained a stable GDP growth of 5% in 2025. According to CAAM, the total industry unit sales of commercial vehicles (excluding gasoline-powered and electric-powered vehicles) increased by 4.5% year-over-year (“YoY”) to 2.4 million units in 2025.

At Yuchai, total number of engines sold in 2025 increased by 29.4% YoY to 461,309 units, compared with 356,586 units in 2024. Our on-road engine sales outperformed the overall truck and bus markets in 2025, reporting 42.8% growth in both truck and bus combined. Our off-road segments continued to deliver unit growth of 13.0% YoY, with both industrial and marine and genset unit sales growth of more than 24% YoY despite lower agricultural engine unit sales. Our gross profit increased by 44.3% to RMB 4.1 billion (US$587.6 million) from RMB 2.8 billion in 2024. Gross margin increased to 16.5% from 14.7% in 2024. The increase was mainly attributable to higher unit sales volume, a change of sales mix with higher unit sales of heavy-duty and high-horsepower engines, and continuing cost reduction initiatives.

Total R&D expenditures, including capitalized costs, were RMB 1.5 billion (US$220.4 million) in 2025 compared with RMB 1.2 billion in 2024. During the year, Yuchai continued its initiatives to enhance the engine efficiency and performance of its National VI and Tier-4 emission standards compliant engines and power generation engines for data centers and marine applications, while also advancing its new energy solutions. Our joint ventures witnessed significant improvements, mainly driven by higher profits of 18.8% at MTU Yuchai Power and increased profits at Purem Yuchai. Yuchai’s gains contributed to a 66.3% rise in net profit attributable to China Yuchai’s shareholders, reaching RMB 537.4 million (US$77.6 million) compared with RMB 323.1 million in 2024. This growth translates to an increase in earnings per share to RMB 14.32 (US$2.07) for 2025, compared to RMB 8.21 for 2024.

Demands for power and marine propulsion are accelerating the shift to more advanced engines. Surging AI and data‑center workloads require stronger power‑generation solutions. Sales of combined MTU Yuchai Power and Yuchai-branded high horsepower engines to data centers exceeded 2,000 units in 2025, up from 750 units in 2024.

In parallel with these developments, we continue to expand our capabilities in new energy technologies. Yuchai established Yuchai Simlan in 2021 as its primary platform for the development of new energy power systems and products. In 2023, Yuchai Simlan established its own wholly-owned subsidiary, Cynland Hyentech, to focus on the development of hydrogen fuel cells and stacks, as well as the assembly of fuel cell systems and powertrains. Through Yuchai Simlan and Cynland Hyentech, we continue to invest and develop new energy power systems and products for both on- and off-road vehicles and equipment. These initiatives demonstrate our commitment to advancing new energy technologies, reducing carbon emissions, and promoting environmental sustainability.

To enhance operational efficiency and support long-term growth, Yuchai has executed a series of strategic restructuring initiatives in recent years. We established Guangxi SKY Cloud Technology Co., Ltd., to develop proprietary operating systems with enhanced data analytics capabilities for smart and connected solutions applicable to a wide range of vehicles and machinery. We have also streamlined our specialized business segments by consolidating our marine and power generator businesses including the MTU Yuchai Power JV under MGP. In addition, we carved out certain existing businesses into specialized entities, including Yuchai Foundry Co., Ltd. to enhance operational control, foster innovation and optimize resource allocation.

We continue advancing our globalization efforts. In 2024, Yuchai Thailand commenced production operations for diesel and natural gas engines. During the same year, Yuchai entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with Kim Long Motor Hue, or Kim Long Motor, a subsidiary of Vietnam’s FUTA Group, to provide technology know-how, component supply and related support, and services for the construction of an engine manufacturing factory at Kim Long Motor’s designated site in Vietnam. We are also expanding our international sales and support offices, as we believe potential international partnerships will strengthen our global reach. Our strategy remains focused on serving multiple end markets with a growing and increasingly diversified product portfolio.

The Chinese automotive industry continues to be highly competitive. Our ability to successfully compete in our industry will be fundamental to our future success in our existing and new markets. See “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry” for further details.

Business Expansion and Diversification Plan

Following the implementation of our business expansion and diversification plan as approved by our Board of Directors in 2005, we looked for new business opportunities to reduce our financial dependence on Yuchai and invested in the following companies:

Thakral Corporation Ltd

The first step in implementing this plan occurred in March 2005 when through VDL, we acquired a 15.0% equity interest in TCL. As of December 2009, our equity interest in TCL was 34.4%. The TCL group invests directly or with co-investors in real estate and other investment opportunities which include property-backed financial instruments. Since the fiscal year 2010, we have gradually reduced our equity interest in TCL. In 2022, we fully disposed of our shareholding interest in TCL.

HL Global Enterprises Limited

The second step in the implementation of our business expansion and diversification plan occurred in February 2006 when we acquired a 29.1% equity interest in HLGE and certain convertible preference and debt securities through two wholly-owned subsidiaries for an aggregate consideration of approximately S$132.0 million.

On January 13, 2012, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Grace Star Services Limited (“Grace Star”) transferred 24,189,170 Series B redeemable convertible preference shares of HLGE (the “Trust Preference Shares”) to Amicorp Trustees (Singapore) Limited (the “Trustee”) pursuant to a trust deed entered into between HLGE and the Trustee (the “Trust”). The Trust Preference Shares were mandatorily converted into 24,189,170 new ordinary shares in the capital of HLGE (the “Trust Shares”) on January 16, 2012, resulting in our shareholding interest in HLGE decreasing from 49.4% to 48.1%. On April 4, 2012, as a result of the conversion of all the outstanding Series A redeemable convertible preference shares held by our wholly-owned subsidiaries, VDL and Grace Star, into new ordinary shares in the capital of HLGE, our shareholding interest in HLGE increased from 48.1% to 48.9%. In November 2025, Grace Star acquired 200,000 ordinary shares of HLGE, resulting in our shareholding interest in HLGE increasing from 48.9% to 49.1%.

The Trust Shares are accounted for as treasury shares by HLGE as they are issued by HLGE and held by the Trust, which is considered as part of HLGE. As a result, based on the total outstanding ordinary shares of HLGE net of the Trust Shares, our shareholding interest in HLGE is stated as 50.4% for accounting purposes in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. However, these Trust Shares are not regarded as treasury shares under the Singapore Companies Act, Chapter 50, and the Trustee has the power, inter alia, to vote or abstain from voting in respect of the Trust Shares at any general meeting of HLGE in its absolute discretion and to waive its right to receive dividends in respect of the Trust Shares as it deems fit. Accordingly, based on the total outstanding ordinary shares of HLGE including the Trust Shares, our shareholding interest in HLGE is 49.1% as of December 31, 2025 and February 27, 2026. We consolidate the results of HLGE as a subsidiary of our Company. See Note 1.3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in Item 18.

We currently own, through six of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, 76.4% of the outstanding shares of Yuchai. Our ownership interest in Yuchai is our main business asset. As a result, our financial condition and results of operations depend primarily upon Yuchai’s financial condition and results of operations, and the continued implementation of the Reorganization Agreement, as amended by the Cooperation Agreement. We also have a 49.1% interest in the outstanding ordinary shares of HLGE.

2025 compared to 2024

Revenue for 2025 was RMB 24.7 billion (US$3.6 billion) compared with RMB 19.1 billion in 2024, an increase of 28.9%. The total number of engines sold by Yuchai in 2025 was 461,309 units compared with 356,586 units in 2024, representing an increase of 104,723 units, or 29.4%. Truck and bus engine unit sales rose by 42.8%, compared with overall vehicle market sales growth of 4.5% for 2025 (according to CAAM data, excluding gasoline- and electric-powered vehicles). Total truck engine unit sales rose by 50.7%, compared with overall truck market unit sales growth of 5.9% YoY (according to CAAM data). Off-road engine unit sales increased by 13.0%, with both industrial and marine and power generator sets unit sales growing more than 24% to offset lower agricultural engine unit sales.

Cost of sales consisted of direct material costs, direct labor costs, and direct and indirect production overheads such as wages, depreciation and amortization, warranty expenses and freight charges.

Gross profit was RMB 4.1 billion (US$587.6 million) in 2025, an increase of 44.3% from RMB 2.8 billion in 2024. Gross profit margin was 16.5% in 2025 compared with 14.7% in 2024. The increase was mainly due to higher unit sales volume, a change of sales mix with higher unit sales of heavy-duty and high horsepower engines, and continuing cost reduction initiatives.

Other operating income, net was RMB 445.9 million (US$64.4 million) in 2025, a decrease of 22.5% from RMB 575.7 million in 2024. This was primarily due to lower bank interest income and reduced government grants.

R&D expenses increased by 37.3% to RMB 1.4 billion (US$195.2 million), compared with RMB 984.7 million in 2024, primarily driven by higher experimental costs, increased personnel expenses, and impairments related to fuel cell development. Yuchai continued with its initiatives to enhance the engine efficiency and performance of its engines compliant with National VI and Tier-4 emission standards, and power generation engines for data centers and marine applications, while also advancing its new energy solutions. Total R&D expenditure, including capitalized costs, was RMB 1.5 billion (US$220.4 million), representing 6.2% of the revenue in 2025, compared with RMB 1.2 billion, or 6.2% of the revenue in 2024.

SG&A expenses increased by 14.3% to RMB 2.1 billion (US$299.2 million), representing 8.4% of the revenue in 2025, compared with RMB 1.8 billion, or 9.5% of the revenue in 2024. This was mainly due to higher personnel expenses and consultancy fees, as well as increased after-sales and service expenses that partially offset lower accounts receivable provisions.

As a result, operating profit increased by 82.7% to RMB 1.1 billion (US$157.6 million), compared with RMB 597.0 million in 2024. The operating margin was 4.4%, up from 3.1% in 2024.

Finance costs decreased by 20.8% to RMB 61.8 million (US$8.9 million) from RMB 78.0 million in 2024, primarily due to lower bank term loans.

The share of financial results of the associates and joint ventures increased by 9.4% to income of RMB 111.1 million (US$16.0 million), compared with income of RMB 101.5 million in 2024. The improvement was mainly driven by higher profits of 18.8% at MTU Yuchai Power, and increased profits at Purem Yuchai, partially offset by lower profits at Y&C.

Profit before tax was RMB 1.1 billion (US$164.7 million) in 2025 compared with RMB 620.5 million in 2024.

Income tax expense increased by 156.0% to RMB 329.7 million (US$47.6 million), compared with RMB 128.8 million in 2024. The tax increase was driven by higher profits in 2025 as compared with 2024, and higher deferred tax expenses.

As a result of the foregoing factors, profit for the year was RMB 810.5 million (US$117.1 million) in 2025 compared with RMB 491.7 million in 2024, representing an increase of 64.8%.

Net profit attributable to our shareholders increased by 66.3% to RMB 537.4 million (US$77.6 million), compared with RMB 323.1 million in 2024.

2024 compared to 2023

Revenue for 2024 was RMB 19.1 billion compared with RMB 18.0 billion in 2023, an increase of 6.0%. The total number of engines sold by Yuchai in 2024 was 356,586 units compared with 313,493 units in 2023, representing an increase of 43,093 units, or 13.7%, primarily due to higher sales in the truck, bus, industrial and marine and power generation markets. Stronger performance in truck and bus engine sales was achieved despite a 2.6% year-over-year decrease in sales of commercial vehicles (excluding gasoline- and electric-powered vehicles) in 2024 as reported by CAAM.

Cost of sales consisted of direct material costs, direct labor costs, and direct and indirect production overheads such as wages, depreciation and amortization, warranty expenses and freight charges.

Gross profit was RMB 2.8 billion in 2024, an increase of 10.8% from RMB 2.5 billion in 2023. Gross profit margin was 14.7% in 2024 compared with 14.1% in 2023. The increase in gross margin was mainly attributable to higher revenue from higher unit sales volume, and continuing cost reduction initiatives, partially offset by greater labor and overhead expenses.

Other operating income, net was RMB 575.7 million in 2024, an increase of 30.1% from RMB 442.4 million in 2023. The increase was mainly due to higher government grants, higher rebate on value-added taxes, and recognition of technology licensing fees.

R&D expenses increased by 12.3% to RMB 984.7 million in 2024 compared with RMB 876.6 million in 2023, mainly attributable to higher mold costs and impairment of a discontinued R&D project. We continued with our initiatives to enhance the efficiency and performance of our National VI and Tier-4 emission standards compliant engines with marine and power generation applications, while advancing new energy solutions. In 2024, total R&D expenditures, including capitalized costs, were RMB 1.2 billion, compared with RMB 1.1 billion in 2023, representing 6.2% of the revenue compared with 5.9% in 2023.

SG&A expenses were RMB 1.8 billion in 2024, representing 9.5% of the revenue, compared with RMB 1.5 billion, representing 8.3% of the revenue in 2023. This increase was mainly due to higher allowance for expected credit loss on trade receivables, and higher travelling, personnel and selling expenses compared with 2023.

As a result, operating profit decreased by 2.0% to RMB 597.0 million in 2024 from RMB 609.4 million in 2023. Operating margin was 3.1% in 2024 compared with 3.4% in 2023.

Finance costs decreased by 22.2% to RMB 78.0 million in 2024 from RMB 100.2 million in 2023.

The share of financial results of the associates and joint ventures was an income of RMB 101.5 million in 2024 compared with an income of RMB 62.1 million in 2023. The improvement was mainly driven by higher profits at MTU Yuchai Power. Additionally, Y&C Engine and Purem Yuchai achieved profitability in 2024 compared to a loss last year.

Profit before tax was RMB 620.5 million in 2024 compared with RMB 571.4 million in 2023.

Income tax expense in 2024 was RMB 128.8 million compared with RMB 148.5 million in 2023.

As a result of the foregoing factors, profit for the year was RMB 491.7 million in 2024 compared with RMB 422.9 million in 2023, representing an increase of 16.3%.

Net profit attributable to our shareholders increased by 13.1% to RMB 323.1 million compared with RMB 285.5 million in 2023.

Impact of Inflation and Foreign Currency Fluctuations

The average annual inflation in China per CPI for 2025 remained flat compared with 2024, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. The results of our operations may be affected by inflation, particularly rising prices for parts and components, labor costs, raw materials and other operating costs. See “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — If prices of energy, raw materials or components increase, it may adversely affect our profitability or cause us to suffer operating losses.”

Substantially all of our revenues and operating expenses are generated by our Chinese operating subsidiaries and are denominated in Renminbi. With our continued increasing international sales and overseas expansion, any inflation and foreign currency fluctuations may adversely affect the results of our operations.

Table of Contents

Seasonality

Historically, Yuchai’s results of operations in the first and second quarters of calendar years were typically marginally higher than in the third and fourth quarters of the corresponding year. However, this seasonal trend has not always been consistent and may not be materialized during periods of extraordinary events, such as the COVID period in 2021 and 2022. There are no strict rules governing sales trend in the dynamic market where we operate, and customer purchasing pattern may change based on various factors including government policies, incentives, and market conditions. Any change in these factors may affect the seasonal trend as it has occurred in the past. As a result, cash generated from operations may also be subject to some seasonal variation.

B.Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of cash are funds from operations generated by Yuchai, as well as debt financing obtained by us. Our revenues are substantially generated by Yuchai and its subsidiaries, our Chinese operating companies, and are denominated in Renminbi. The Renminbi is currently freely convertible under the “current account” which includes dividends, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions. However, conversions for dividend payment are subject to bank review and validation in accordance with the PRC regulatory and procedural requirements. The Renminbi is not currently freely convertible under the “capital account” which includes, among other things, foreign direct investment and overseas borrowings by Chinese entities. Some of the conversions between Renminbi and foreign currency under the capital account are subject to regulatory oversight and may require SAFE registration or approval. As a result, there is no material restriction on the ability of the Chinese subsidiaries to transfer funds to Yuchai. However, certain funds transfers from Yuchai to us, such as capital reductions, liquidation proceeds, and external debt repayments, may be subject to bank review or SAFE registration. See “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — General Risk Factors — We are a holding company and depend on the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us in order to satisfy our financial obligations and to make dividend payments. Regulations in China regarding currency conversion could limit our ability to obtain sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our foreign currency requirements or to pay dividends to shareholders.”

Our primary cash requirements are for working capital, capital expenditures for production capacity expansion and new product developments, dividend payments and other operational requirements. We believe that our sources of liquidity are sufficient for our operational and working capital requirements over the next twelve months from December 31, 2025. However, under the current market conditions, there can be no assurance that our business activity will be maintained at the expected level to generate the anticipated cash flows from operating activities. If the current market conditions deteriorate, we may experience a decrease in demand for our products, resulting in our cash flows from operating activities being lower than anticipated. If our cash flows from operations are lower than anticipated, we may need to obtain additional financing which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. Other factors which may affect our ability to generate funds from operations include increased competition, fluctuations in customer demand for our products, our ability to collect and control our level of accounts receivable, the financial health of our customers, the status of our investment in Yuchai under Chinese law and the implementation of the Reorganization Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — A. History and Development of the Company — Reorganization Agreement.”

Our cash and bank balances are primarily held in Renminbi, Singapore dollar and US dollar in accounts managed by third party financial institutions. While we monitor the cash balances in our operating accounts and adjust the cash balances as appropriate, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or could be subjected to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. As of the date of this Annual Report, we have experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in our operating accounts.

As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately RMB 7.9 billion (US$1.1 billion) in cash and bank balances on a consolidated basis. We believe that if we are considered on a stand-alone basis without our investment in Yuchai, we would find it difficult to raise new capital (either debt or equity) on our own.

We expect that cash generated from operations should provide us with sufficient financial flexibility to satisfy future bank obligations, capital expenditures and projected working capital requirements. However, at certain times, cash generated from operations is subject to seasonal fluctuations. As our business continues to grow, we will also require additional funds for increased working capital requirements and to fund our continued business expansion plans. We expect to fund our working capital requirements primarily from funds from operations generated by Yuchai and, to the extent that is insufficient, from bank borrowings, discounting of bills receivable, follow-on equity offerings, accounts receivable factoring or other financing activities by Yuchai.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures are primarily for expanding and upgrading existing production facilities in order to comply with engine emission standards, enhance production flow, strengthen safety measures, improve testing capability, improve environment control, increase warehousing capacity and support other routine upgrading and replacement. Capital expenditures for building new facilities are part of Yuchai’s ongoing efforts to develop new products and to improve the efficiency and performance of existing products.

Our capital expenditures were RMB 348.5 million, RMB 537.9 million and RMB 724.6 million (US$104.7 million) in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. These expenditures were used primarily for expanding and upgrading Yuchai’s production capacity and for technology development for new engines. As our business continues to grow, we will require additional funds for capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2025, we had committed capital expenditures of RMB 465.7 million (US$67.3 million) for upgrading existing facilities and building new facilities. We expect to continue funding our capital expenditures primarily from funds generated by Yuchai’s operations and, to the extent that is insufficient, from bank loans and other financing activities by Yuchai. Yuchai’s ability to obtain financing is limited by regulations in China. Additional capital contributions to Yuchai by us would be subject to filing with the relevant State Administration for Market Regulation. Any borrowing of foreign debt by Yuchai may be subject to registration or approval with the PRC authorities.

Indebtedness

As of December 31, 2025, we had outstanding bank borrowings of RMB 2.0 billion (US$291.8 million), all of which were incurred by Yuchai.

Yuchai has established banking relationships with a number of domestic Chinese banks, each of which will review Yuchai’s loan applications on a case-by-case basis. From time to time, we may also decide to refinance our indebtedness. As of December 31, 2024, Yuchai had a bank borrowing which was secured by bills receivables. As of December 31, 2025, all bank borrowings are unsecured and denominated in Renminbi. The majority of these borrowings have a tenor of one year, and bear a fixed interest rate of approximately 2.0%.

The facility may be used to finance the Company’s general working capital requirements. Among other things, it requires that Hong Leong Asia owns beneficially at least 7,290,000 of the issued and paid-up shares and retained ownership of the special share in the Company and that the Company remains a subsidiary of Hong Leong Asia. It also includes financial covenants requiring our consolidated tangible net worth (as defined in the agreement) as of June 30 and December 31 of each year not to be less than US$200 million and the ratio of our consolidated total net debt (as defined in the agreement) to consolidated tangible net worth as of June 30 and December 31 of each year not to exceed 2.0 times, as well as negative pledge provisions and customary drawdown requirements.

•On June 25, 2021, we entered into a revolving credit facility agreement with DBS Bank Ltd. of Singapore with an uncommitted aggregate value of S$30.0 million. This facility may be used to finance our general working capital requirements. Among other things, it requires that at all times (i) CYI owns directly or indirectly at least 76.4% ownership in Yuchai; (ii) Hong Leong Asia retains ownership of the special share, owns directly or indirectly at least 35% ownership in CYI and that CYI remains a subsidiary of Hong Leong Asia; and (iii) HLGE remains listed on the Main Board of Singapore Exchange. It also includes certain financial covenants requiring our consolidated tangible net worth (as defined in the agreement) not to be less than US$400 million, and the ratio of our consolidated total debt (as defined in the agreement) to consolidated tangible net worth not to exceed 1.0 time.

•On August 18, 2023, we entered into an agreement with MUFG Bank Ltd, Singapore Branch for multi-currency short-term loan credit facilities with an uncommitted aggregate amount of S$30.0 million.

We believe that should there be a need for further loans from banks, we can borrow additional amounts through our established banking relationships with a number of domestic Chinese or Singapore banks. We can also obtain financing by issuing bonds, issuing bills payable, discounting bills receivable, factoring accounts receivable or through other financing activities. However, such activities are subject to market conditions and there is no assurance that such additional activities would be successful.

Yuchai’s shareholders are entitled to preemptive rights to subscribe pro rata in accordance with their ownership percentage for any new Yuchai shares or other equity interests offered by Yuchai at a price and on terms at least equivalent to those offered to new subscribers.

Yuchai’s Board of Directors reports directly to the shareholders of Yuchai and is the principal executive authority responsible for major decisions relating to Yuchai, mainly including (i) the execution of resolutions adopted by the shareholders; (ii) making decisions on Yuchai’s business plans and investment programs; (iii) the preparation of Yuchai’s annual financial budget, final accounts, dividend distribution plan, and plan of recovery of loss; (iv) the preparation and submission to the shareholders’ meeting for approval of the plans to increase or decrease Yuchai’s registered capital, plans for issuances of Yuchai securities and plans for merger, division, change of corporate form or dissolution; (v) to fill vacancies on the Board provided the selected replacement is nominated by and represents the same shareholders as his or her predecessor; (vi) adoption of various corporate policies and rules; (vii) decision of internal management organization; (viii) the appointment of senior executive officers as recommended by the Yuchai’s Nominations Sub-committee of Board and their dismissals as well as the appointment of senior advisers to the Board; (ix) the establishment of a financial committee; (x) approval of sales, purchases, transfers and leases of material assets with a value in excess of US$3 million but less than US$6 million and which are not contemplated in Yuchai’s approved budgets; (xi) approval of guarantees provided by Yuchai with a value in excess of US$3 million but less than US$6 million; (xii) review of all relevant matters relating to proposed loans or borrowings to Yuchai, and proposed loans to be provided by Yuchai which will be further submitted to Yuchai’s shareholders for approval by way of a meeting; (xiii) to prepare and submit to the shareholders’ meeting for adoption of the amendments of the Articles of Association; (xiv) to recommend the shareholders’ meeting for approval of the appointment or dismissal of the accounting firms for Yuchai’s audit matters; and (xv) any other matters that may be determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Yuchai’s Articles of Association.

In order to further strengthen our level of corporate governance, we have continued to seek to cause Yuchai to adopt comprehensive corporate governance guidelines to put procedures in place to improve the management and governance of Yuchai. The 2007 version of corporate governance guidelines of Yuchai were approved and adopted by Yuchai’s Board of Directors and shareholders’ meeting on July 27, 2007 and August 16, 2007, respectively. The corporate governance guidelines and practices adopted by Yuchai continue to be fine-tuned on an ongoing basis such that Yuchai follows international best practices and which are in line with the Company Law in the PRC. Various board committees (inter alia, an Audit Sub-Committee, a Remunerations Sub-Committee, a Nominations Sub-Committee and a Financial Sub-Committee) have been established and are currently functioning in accordance with their charters. The Financial Sub-Committee is responsible for reviewing the necessity and feasibility of new projects and making recommendations to Yuchai’s Board of Directors. Yuchai and the Company are audited by the same firm of independent auditors.

Table of Contents

The Board of Directors of Yuchai shall consist of 13 directors appointed for three-year terms pursuant to Yuchai’s current Articles of Association. A total of nine directors shall be elected from nominees of holders of Foreign Shares (including at least two independent directors) and a total of four directors shall be elected from nominees of holders of GY Group Shares and Legal Person Shares. Actions generally may be taken by a majority vote of all directors of Yuchai’s Board, apart from the following major matters which shall be passed by a two-thirds vote of all directors of Yuchai’s Board, i.e., (i) the plans to increase or decrease Yuchai’s registered capital, plans for issuances of bonds; (ii) plans for merger, division, change of corporate form or dissolution; (iii) the amendments of the Articles of Association; (iv) the election of Chairman of Yuchai’s Board. Attendance of at least seven directors (four representing holders of Foreign Shares and three representing holders of GY Group Shares or Legal Person Shares) constitutes a quorum for the Board meeting.

We are entitled under Yuchai’s Articles of Association to elect nine of Yuchai’s 13 directors, thereby entitling us to effect all major decisions relating to Yuchai. As part of the terms of the Reorganization Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement, Yuchai affirmed our continued rights, as Yuchai’s majority shareholder, to direct the management and policies of Yuchai through Yuchai’s Board of Directors. A two-thirds vote of the outstanding shares at a shareholders’ meeting at which a quorum is present is required for major corporate actions, including (i) the issuance of new shares or other securities, the expansion of the scope of any subscription of shares, the transfer procedures for Yuchai’s share certificates, and the public offering and listing of Yuchai shares within and outside China; (ii) significant sales or purchases of assets, or any division, merger, acquisition, termination, liquidation or other major corporate action of Yuchai; (iii) amendment to Yuchai’s Articles of Association; (iv) to increase or decrease the registered capital of Yuchai. Attendance of shareholders representing at least two-thirds of the outstanding Yuchai shares constitutes a quorum for shareholder meetings considering such major corporate actions.

However, although our nominees constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of Yuchai, there have, on various occasions in the past, been periods of time when no board meetings have been held, despite Yuchai’s Articles of Association at the time requiring the Board of Directors to meet at least once every six months as well as upon repeated requests by us. Prior to the execution of the Reorganization Agreement, Yuchai’s Articles of Association provided that a quorum for a board meeting was at least five Directors, three representing holders of Foreign Shares and two representing holders of GY Group Shares or Legal Person Shares. However, subsequent to the execution of the Reorganization Agreement, these quorum requirements have been amended in Yuchai’s new Articles of Association as approved by the Guangxi Department of Commerce on December 2, 2009. Under the new Articles of Association, a quorum for a board meeting shall be at least seven directors, four representing holders of Foreign Shares and three representing holders of GY Group Shares or Legal Person Shares. If the quorum cannot be met for two consecutive times, then any seven directors present shall constitute the quorum for the third meeting. In addition, under Yuchai’s new Articles of Association, board meetings are to be convened at least three times a year.

Yuchai’s management consists of a Chairman, a General Manager (formerly titled “President”), several Deputy General Managers (formerly titled “Vice President”), and other senior officers designated by its Board of Directors, as well as senior managers and officers designated by us. Yuchai’s management handles daily operations and implements the corporate policies under the direction and guidance of its Board of Directors.

As a general matter, we require access to certain financial books and records of Yuchai so as to be able to monitor our investments in Yuchai and to prepare our consolidated financial statements. In early 2004, Yuchai temporarily denied us such access. In response, we initiated dialogue with representatives of Yuchai and shortly thereafter agreed with Yuchai to resume allowing us access to the financial books and records of Yuchai. Moreover, we require the cooperation of Yuchai and its Chinese shareholders and have from time to time experienced certain problems in obtaining such cooperation. In response to such problems, we entered into dialogue with representatives of Yuchai and its Chinese shareholders and thereafter executed the Reorganization Agreement, which we believe addresses these problems. As part of the terms of the Reorganization Agreement, Yuchai agreed that it would seek the requisite shareholder approval prior to entering into any material transactions (including any agreements or arrangements with parties related to Yuchai or any of its shareholders) and that it would comply with its governance requirements. However, no assurances can be given regarding implementation of the terms of the Reorganization Agreement.

We provide certain management, financial planning, internal audit services, internal control testing, IFRS Accounting Standards training, business enhancement consulting and other services to Yuchai and we have a team working full-time at Yuchai’s principal manufacturing facilities in Yulin city. In addition, the President, Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President of Operations and a manager proficient in Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX, travel frequently for as much as up to two weeks at a time, to Yuchai to actively participate in Yuchai’s operations and decision-making process. See also “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Corporate Structure — Our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects may be adversely affected if we are unable to implement the Reorganization Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement.”

B.Compensation

Service Fees

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement of the Company dated November 9, 1994, Hong Leong Asia is entitled to receive no less than US$500,000 from either Yuchai or the Company for management services as long as Hong Leong Asia remains the controlling shareholder, and provided that the services include those of the President and Chief Financial Officer. With effect from January 2008, further to agreements entered into between the Company and Yuchai, Yuchai pays the Company, instead of Hong Leong Asia, consultancy and management services fee of US$1,000,000 per annum. Hong Leong Asia has agreed to waive its right to be paid any fees as set out in the Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement of November 9, 1994. In 2011, this arrangement was restructured into a separate management services agreement and consulting services agreement, with the total quantum of annual fee remaining the same at US$1,000,000. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — B. Related Party Transactions — Shareholders Agreement.”

The Company and Yuchai entered into supplemental agreements in 2020, 2021 and 2023, respectively, pursuant to which Yuchai paid an additional management fee of RMB 3 million to the Company for each of the fiscal years 2020, 2021 and 2022 in respect of additional management services provided by the Company and the associated higher human resource costs. In light of the GYMCL Group and the continued increase in costs, the Company and Yuchai subsequently entered into further supplemental agreement in September 2023, June 2025 and November 2025, respectively, pursuant to which Yuchai agreed to pay the Company an additional management fee of RMB 6 million for each of the fiscal years 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Remuneration and Pensions

The total fees paid to the Directors (other than Directors appointed to an executive office) for performing their services as Directors must not exceed US$250,000 each year or such lesser amount as our Board of Directors may determine. The Directors may decide such sum to be divided among them, except that any Director holding office for part of a year shall, unless otherwise agreed, be entitled to any proportionate part of the remuneration. Our shareholders may by ordinary resolution increase the amount of the fees payable to the Directors. Our shareholders approved the increase in the limit of the Directors’ fee from US$250,000 to US$540,000 for the fiscal year 2022 at our annual general meeting held on August 7, 2023 and from US$250,000 to US$552,384 for the fiscal year 2023 at our annual general meeting held on August 7, 2024. At our annual general meeting held on July 8, 2025, our shareholders approved the increase in the limit of the Directors’ fee from US$250,000 to US$700,000 for the fiscal year 2024. For the fiscal year 2025, and subject to shareholders’ approval at the annual general meeting, we will pay an annual director fee of US$70,000 to each Director (pro-rated accordingly if a director resigns, retires or assumes the position during the year) other than whom is also the President of the Company, and an annual service fee of US$60,000 and US$40,000 to the Chairman and each of the members of the Audit Committee, respectively.

Our Board of Directors may grant special remuneration to any Director who, being called upon, shall render any special or extra services to or at the request of the Company. Such special remuneration may be paid to such Director in addition to or in substitution for his ordinary remuneration as a Director and may be payable by way of a lump sum, participation in profits or as otherwise determined by our Board of Directors. For the fiscal year 2025, our Board of Directors approved a special remuneration of US$70,000 to be paid to one of our Directors.

Save for legally mandated contributions on behalf of our employees, our Board of Directors does not provide pensions or other benefits to any Director, officer or former Director or officer, or any of their family members or dependents.

Benefits

The aggregate amount of compensation paid to all directors and executive officers of the Company and Yuchai during 2025 was approximately RMB 103.9 million (US$15.2 million).

There are no benefits to be provided to the directors of the Company or Yuchai upon their termination of employment. For more details, see also “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees — B. Compensation — Remuneration and Pensions.”

Under the agreement, Yuchai and the union maintain a cooperative framework designed to support Yuchai’s operations. Yuchai supports the union’s activities by providing necessary resources and funding. Yuchai has not experienced any material work stoppages and considers employee relations to be good.

E.Share Ownership

The directors and executive officers of the Company do not currently own any shares of common stock, but certain directors, officers and employees of the Company have been awarded share options under our 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (as defined herein).

China Yuchai International Limited 2014 Equity Incentive Plan

The China Yuchai International Limited 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Equity Incentive Plan”) was approved and adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on May 10, 2014 and approved by the Company’s shareholders on July 4, 2014. The 2014 Equity Incentive Plan expired in May 2024 after its ten (10) years duration.

China Yuchai International Limited 2025 Equity Incentive Plan

The 2025 Equity Incentive Plan takes effect on May 16, 2025.

The purpose of the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan is to provide eligible directors and employees of the Group with an opportunity to participate in the equity of the Company through the grant of Awards (as defined in the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, including share options, restricted stock and stock payments), so as to motivate greater dedication and loyalty and to reward, retain and incentivize employees who are in positions of substantial responsibility and whose contributions are important to the successful conduct of the Group’s business.

The 2025 Equity Incentive Plan is substantially similar to the expired 2014 Equity Incentive Plan. The following paragraphs describe the principal terms of the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan.

Plan Administration

The Compensation Committee has full power and authority, in its sole discretion, to administer, implement and carry out the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, including, without limitation, (i) selecting grantees from the individuals eligible to receive Awards, the time when Awards will be granted, the number of Awards and the number of shares of common stock covered by each Award; (ii) determining the terms and conditions of each Award grant; (iii) approving the forms of agreement for use under the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan; (iv) establishing, adopting, or revising any rules and regulations to administer the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan; and (v) taking any and all other action as it deems necessary or advisable for the operation or administration of the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan and the Awards thereunder.

Shares Reserved for the Equity Incentive Plan

Subject to certain adjustments set forth in the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, the total number of our shares available for grant and issuance pursuant to the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan from time to time will be 1,800,000 shares of common stock. Any shares distributed pursuant to an Award under the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares (subject to applicable laws) or shares purchased on the open market. If any shares subject to an Award are forfeited, canceled or expire or such Award is settled for cash (in whole or in part) for any reason, such shares will, to the extent of such forfeiture, cancellation, expiration or cash settlement, again become available for grant and issuance in connection with future Awards under the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan. Under the terms of the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be subject to one or more awards granted to any one person during any calendar year is 300,000.

Eligibility

Subject to the conditions set forth in the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, any person, including directors, officers and employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who are in positions of substantial responsibility and whose contributions are important to the successful conduct of the Group’s business are eligible to be granted Awards.

Share Options

Each share option granted under the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan will be evidenced by a written award agreement. In order to accept any option, the optionee must pay consideration of US$1 per Award. The exercise price of options is set by the Compensation Committee at the time the option is granted and should not be less than the fair market value of the common stock subject to the option on the date the option is granted and the par value of the common stock. For the purpose of the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, fair market value means the average closing trading price of a common stock over the three trading days immediately preceding the applicable grant date. The options may vest based on performance or other criteria and, at any time after the grant of an option, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of such option. The term of share options may not exceed ten years from the date of grant.

As of December 31, 2025, there are 820,000 options outstanding under the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan and the number of share options granted to the directors and executive officers of the Company is set out in the following table.

The Compensation Committee is authorized to grant shares subject to various restrictions, including restrictions concerning voting rights and transferability, and such restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times and pursuant to such circumstances or based on such criteria as selected by the Compensation Committee. The grant of restricted stock and stock payments must be at a purchase price to be established by the Compensation Committee but in any event, no less than US$1 per Award. Subject to the conditions set forth in the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, upon issuance of restricted stock, the holder shall have, unless otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee, all the rights of a shareholder with respect to said shares, subject to the restrictions in each individual award agreement, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect to the shares; provided, however, that, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, any extraordinary or special dividends or distributions with respect to the shares shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan.

Table of Contents

Stock Payments

The Compensation Committee is authorized to make stock payments, which may, but are not required to, be made in lieu of base salary, bonus, fees or other cash compensation otherwise payable. The grant of stock payments must be at a purchase price to be established by the Compensation Committee but in any event, no less than US$1 per Award. The terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the number or value of shares) of any stock payment shall be determined by the Compensation Committee and may be based on the holder’s duration of employment or service with Company, the Company’s performance, individual performance or other criteria selected by the Compensation Committee, at one time or from time to time, periodically or otherwise. Unless otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee, a holder of a stock payment shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to such stock payment until such time as the shares underlying the Award have been issued.

Non-transferability

Awards granted under our 2025 Equity Incentive Plan are generally not transferable during the lifetime of the award holder.

Amendment, Suspension and Termination of the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan

The Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company may, at any time terminate, and from time to time may amend or modify the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan; provided, however, that no amendment or modification may become effective without approval of the amendment or modification by the shareholders of the Company if (a) shareholder approval is required to enable the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan to satisfy any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements or (b) the Company, on the advice of counsel, determines that shareholder approval otherwise is necessary or desirable. No amendment, modification or termination of the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan shall in any manner adversely affect any Awards theretofore granted under the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan without the consent of the holders or the permitted transferee(s) of such Awards, subject always to applicable laws. No Awards may be granted or awarded during any period of suspension or after termination of the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan.

Duration of the Plan

The 2025 Equity Incentive Plan shall terminate on the date that is ten (10) years from the effective date, unless earlier terminated. Awards outstanding at the time of the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan’s termination may continue to be exercised in accordance with their terms and shall continue to be governed by and interpreted consistent with the terms of the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan.

Equity Incentive Plans of Subsidiaries

The Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Company Limited Equity Holding Scheme (the “Yuchai Equity Scheme”) and the Guangxi Yuchai Marine and Genset Power Co., Ltd Incentive Scheme (the “MGP Incentive Scheme”, and together with the Yuchai Equity Scheme, the “Schemes”) were approved by the shareholders of Yuchai and became effective on June 20, 2024. Participants of the Yuchai Equity Scheme are employees (who may also be directors) within the Yuchai group of entities (other than MGP and its subsidiaries), and participants of the MGP Incentive Scheme are employees (who may also be directors) of MGP and its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the Schemes, the registered capital of MGP was increased by an aggregate of RMB 28 million, corresponding to 6.54% of the enlarged registered capital of MGP (the “MGP Interest”), for subscription by three partnership vehicles established by the participants at a price of RMB 2.96 per RMB 1 of MGP’s registered capital. Following the awards of the MGP Interest, Yuchai’s equity interest in MGP decreased from 100% to 93.46% and the Company’s effective equity interest in MGP decreased from 76.4% to 71.4%.

In 2025, Yuchai’s interest in MGP increased by 0.55% following the acquisition of a Partnership Interest from a participant who withdrew from the Yuchai Equity Scheme, such that the Group’s effective interest in MGP increased from 71.4% to 71.8% as of December 31, 2025. The ownership of the acquired Partnership Interest remains subject to the terms of the Yuchai Equity Scheme.

In addition, our subsidiary, Guangxi SKY Cloud Technology Co., Ltd. (“Sky Cloud”) adopted the Guangxi SKY Cloud Technology Co., Ltd. Equity Incentive Plan (the “Sky Cloud Equity Plan”) on March 21, 2025, in order to motivate and incentivize employees who play a vital role in its long-term growth. Under the Sky Cloud Equity Plan, Sky Cloud’s registered capital will be increased by an aggregate of RMB 1.25 million, corresponding to a 20% interest of the enlarged registered capital of Sky Cloud (the “Sky Cloud Interest”), for subscription by separated partnership vehicles established by selected employees, directors and senior officers of Sky Cloud. The Sky Cloud Interest is to be granted in two phases: Phase One, amounting to an aggregate of RMB 1,080,002, was granted in April 2025 at a subscription price of RMB 1 per RMB 1 registered capital, reducing Yuchai’s equity interest in Sky Cloud from 100% to 82.24%. The remaining Sky Cloud Interest under Phase Two is to be granted by June 30, 2027, at a subscription price of 80% of the latest audited net assets value or RMB 1 (whichever is higher) per RMB 1 registered capital.

ITEM 7. MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A.Major Shareholders

The following table sets forth certain information regarding beneficial ownership of our shares of common stock as of December 31, 2025 by all persons who are known to us to own 5% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with rules of the SEC, which generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities and includes equity shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options or warrants that are immediately exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding those options or warrants for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, all information with respect to the beneficial ownership of any principal shareholder has been furnished by such shareholder and, unless otherwise indicated, we believe that persons named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all the equity shares shown as beneficially owned. The share numbers and percentages listed below are based on 37,518,322 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2025 (excluding 3,339,968 shares held as treasury shares).

Identity of Person or Group		Number				Percentage
Hong Leong Asia Ltd (1)			18,270,965				48.70	%

Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — A. Major Shareholders — The Special Share,” we are not aware of any arrangement which may, at a subsequent date, result in a change of control of the Company.

(2)Information based on the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on February 26, 2025 by Coomber, Goldman Industrial Ltd., GY, State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the People’s Government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Guangxi Beitou Heying Industrial Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership), Guangxi Industrial Investment and Development Co., Ltd. and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the People’s Government of Yulin City, according to which each of the foregoing entities may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to the 7,537,160 shares of our common stock held directly by Coomber.

As of February 28, 2026, there were 22,597,335 shares of our common stock, or 55.31% of the total number of issued shares of 40,858,290 (including 3,339,968 shares held as treasury shares), held of record by 9 holders with registered addresses in the United States.

Except as described below under “The Special Share”, each of our shareholders is entitled to one vote on all matters that require a vote of shareholders, and none of our shareholders has any contractual or other special voting rights.

The Special Share

The special share entitles the holder thereof to elect a majority of our Directors. In addition, no shareholders’ resolution may be passed without the affirmative vote of the special share, including any resolution to amend the Memorandum of Association or our Bye-Laws. The special share is not transferable except to Hong Leong Asia, Hong Leong China or any of its affiliates. In 1994, we issued the special share to Diesel Machinery, a holding company of the Company then controlled by Hong Leong China. During 2002, following the decision of the shareholders of Diesel Machinery to dissolve Diesel Machinery, Diesel Machinery redeemed all of the redeemable stock issued by it to its shareholders. According to the Diesel Machinery shareholders, Diesel Machinery transferred all of the shares of our common stock held by it to its shareholders, which included Hong Leong China and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Because Coomber, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Everbright Holdings, was the shareholder of Diesel Machinery which gave notice of the dissolution of Diesel Machinery, the special share was transferred by Diesel Machinery to HL Technology, an affiliate of Hong Leong Asia, pursuant to the terms of the Diesel Machinery Shareholders Agreement described below.

Our Bye-Laws provide that the special share shall cease to carry any rights in the event that, if Hong Leong Asia and its affiliates own the special share, Hong Leong Asia and its affiliates cease to own, directly or indirectly, at least 7,290,000 shares of common stock (or such equivalent number upon a consolidation or subdivision of the shares of common stock), or if China Everbright Holdings and its affiliates own the special share, China Everbright Holdings and its affiliates cease to own, directly or indirectly, at least 6,570,000 shares of common stock (or such equivalent number upon a consolidation or subdivision of the shares of common stock). The Bye-Laws also provide for circumstances in which Diesel Machinery holds the special share. However, Diesel Machinery was dissolved in 2003. HL Technology, an affiliate of Hong Leong Asia, holds the special share in addition to 9,520,251 shares of common stock, which is greater than the number stipulated in the provisions of our Bye-Laws set forth above.

B.Related Party Transactions

Shareholders Agreement

Hong Leong China, China Everbright Holdings, The Cathay Investment Fund, Limited, or Cathay, GS Capital Partners L.P., or GSCP, 14 shareholders who initially invested in us through Sun Yuan BVI, or the Sun Yuan Shareholders, and the Company in 1994 entered into an amended and restated Shareholders Agreement, or the Shareholders Agreement, which provides for certain matters relating to the management of our Company and Yuchai and the ownership of our common stock. The Shareholders Agreement provides that our Board of Directors will consist of eleven directors, the controlling shareholder (as described below) will be entitled to designate six directors, the major shareholder (as described below) will be entitled to designate two directors, and each of Cathay and GSCP will be entitled to designate one director and the chief executive officer of Yuchai will initially be the other director. The Shareholders Agreement also provides that the controlling shareholder will be entitled to designate five of the nine Yuchai directors that we are entitled to designate, the major shareholder will be entitled to designate two such directors and each of Cathay and GSCP will be entitled to designate one such director. Under the Shareholders Agreement, the nine Yuchai directors designated by us will vote as a block in accordance with the vote of the majority of such nine directors. The Shareholders Agreement provides that the controlling shareholder will be the person holding the special share, provided that at all times the controlling shareholder will be either Hong Leong Asia or China Everbright Holdings, and the other will be the major shareholder. Since our initial public offering in 1994, Hong Leong Asia has been the controlling shareholder and China Everbright Holdings has been the major shareholder. However, in October 2002, China Everbright Holdings sold all of its shares in Coomber to Goldman in October 2002 and is no longer our major shareholder. The Shareholder Agreement provides that if any shareholder (other than the controlling shareholder) ceases to own at least 4% of our common stock, such shareholder will no longer be entitled to designate any directors. Accordingly, China Everbright Holdings no longer has director designation rights. The Shareholders Agreement also provides that, so long as Hong Leong Asia is the controlling shareholder, Yuchai or we will pay Hong Leong Asia an annual management fee of not less than US$500,000 for management services provided by Hong Leong Asia, including the services of our president and chief financial officer. With effect from January 2008, further to agreements entered into between the Company and Yuchai, Yuchai has paid to the Company, instead of Hong Leong Asia, a consultancy and management services fee of US$1,000,000 per annum. Hong Leong Asia has agreed to waive its right to be paid any fees as set out in the Shareholders Agreement. The Shareholders Agreement will terminate upon the occurrence of an event resulting in the special share ceasing to carry any rights.

In addition to the Shareholders Agreement, Hong Leong Asia, China Everbright Holdings and Diesel Machinery had entered into a Subscription and Shareholders Agreement on November 9, 1994, as amended on January 21, 2002 and May 17, 2002, or the Diesel Machinery Shareholders Agreement, which provided for certain matters relating to the management of Diesel Machinery, the Company, Yuchai and the ownership of Diesel Machinery stock. The Diesel Machinery Shareholders Agreement provided that Hong Leong Asia would control Diesel Machinery, provided, however, that if Hong Leong Asia and its affiliates ceased to own directly or through Diesel Machinery at least 7,290,000 shares of common stock when China Everbright Holdings and its affiliates own directly or through Diesel Machinery at least 6,570,000 shares of common stock, China Everbright Holdings would control Diesel Machinery. The Diesel Machinery Shareholders Agreement provided that all rights of the special share held by Diesel Machinery would be exercised as directed by the shareholder that controls Diesel Machinery. With the dissolution of Diesel Machinery and the sale by China Everbright Holdings of all of its shares in Coomber to Goldman in October 2002, the Diesel Machinery Shareholders Agreement no longer directly affects us.

Registration Rights Agreement

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, or the Registration Rights Agreement, we have granted two “demand” registration rights to each of Hong Leong China, China Everbright Holdings, Cathay, GSCP and the Sun Yuan Shareholders, or collectively the Selling Stockholders, requiring us, subject to certain conditions, to use our best efforts to prepare and file a registration statement on behalf of such shareholders under the Securities Act, and to use our best efforts to qualify the shares for offer and sale under any applicable the U.S. state securities laws. Expenses incurred in connection with one demand registration for each such shareholder will be borne by us, and we and Yuchai will be required to indemnify the underwriters in connection with any demand registration. The Registration Rights Agreement also grants each such shareholder certain “piggyback” registration rights entitling each shareholder to sell common stock in any registered offerings of our equity securities, for our account or on behalf of our security holders. China Everbright Holdings, Cathay, GSCP and the Sun Yuan Shareholders are no longer our shareholders. In March 2004, HL Technology and Coomber each registered shares for offer and sale from time to time on a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 which we filed on their behalf pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The shelf registration statement was rendered ineffective as we were not eligible to use the Form F-3 as a result of the delay in our filing of our previous periodic reports required under the Exchange Act. However, we are now compliant with our reporting obligations as required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are eligible to use the Form F-3. We have not received any instructions from either HL Technology or Coomber pursuant to the registration rights agreement, to take any further action in relation to the shelf registration statement.

Reorganization Agreement and Cooperation Agreement

On April 7, 2005, we entered into the Reorganization Agreement with Yuchai and Coomber, which is intended to be in furtherance of the terms of the July 2003 Agreement. On November 30, 2006, certain provisions of the Reorganization Agreement were amended, including extending the implementation deadline to June 30, 2007.

The Reorganization Agreement was scheduled to terminate on June 30, 2007. On June 30, 2007, we entered into the Cooperation Agreement with Yuchai, Coomber and GY, which is intended to be in furtherance of certain terms of the Reorganization Agreement, as amended. The Cooperation Agreement amends certain terms of the Reorganization Agreement, as amended, among CYI, Yuchai and Coomber, and as so amended, incorporates certain terms of the Reorganization Agreement. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — A. History and Development of the Company — Cooperation Agreement.”

Other Transactions

We provide certain management, financial planning, internal audit services, internal control testing, IFRS Accounting Standards training, business enhancement consulting and other services to Yuchai and we have a team working full-time at Yuchai’s principal manufacturing facilities in Yulin city. In addition, the President, Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President of Operations and a manager proficient in Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX, travel frequently for as much as up to two weeks at a time, to Yuchai to actively participate in Yuchai’s operations and decision-making process. Pursuant to a management services agreement and a consulting services agreement, we charge a total of US$1.0 million per annum to Yuchai for these services. In consideration of the increase of management services as well as higher human resource costs incurred to provide services to Yuchai, the Company entered into supplemental agreements with Yuchai on a yearly basis from 2019 to 2022, for an additional management fee of RMB 3 million per annum paid by Yuchai to the Company. The Company and Yuchai executed a supplemental agreement in March 2023 in respect of an additional management fee of RMB 3 million for the year 2022. In September 2023, the Company and Yuchai entered into a supplemental agreement in respect of an additional management fee of RMB 6 million for the fiscal year 2023.

During the fiscal year 2025, certain affiliates of Hong Leong Asia charged us RMB 3.6 million (US$0.5 million) for certain general and administrative expenses such as insurance premium, corporate secretarial services, office rental, professional and consultancy fees and miscellaneous office expenses.

During the fiscal year 2025, Yuchai entered into agreements with the GY Group (including its affiliates) and with Yuchai’s associates and joint ventures for, in particular, sales of engines and parts to the GY Group, purchase of parts, supplies and engines from the GY Group, and other business relating to, among other things, hospitality, lease of assets, property management services, and delivery, storage, distribution and handling services. For further details on our business transactions with related parties, please see Note 30 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 18.

During the fiscal year 2019, Yuchai entered into a trademark license agreement with GY on April 25, 2019 (“Trademark License Agreement”) under which GY granted Yuchai an exclusive and perpetual license to use the thirty trademarks listed therein for a one-time, ten-year usage fee of RMB 169.8 million. The Trademark License Agreement further permits Yuchai to continue using the licensed trademarks free-of-charge after the expiry of the ten-year period.

Legal Proceedings

Other than as set forth below, neither we nor any of our consolidated subsidiaries are currently involved in any material legal or arbitration proceedings that we believe may have, or have had in the recent past, significant effects on our financial position or profitability.

Proceedings with Yuchai

We have previously encountered difficulties in obtaining the cooperation of the GY Group and Mr. Wang Jianming in the daily management and operation of Yuchai. The GY Group is a minority shareholder of Yuchai and is majority-owned by the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Until December 3, 2005, Mr. Wang was the Chairman, legal representative and Chief Executive Officer of Yuchai, as well as the Vice-Chairman and legal representative of the GY Group.

In response to earlier difficulties with respect to corporate governance measures and certain dividends declared by Yuchai, we initiated legal and arbitration proceedings in New York, London and Singapore against Yuchai, Mr. Wang and other related parties in May 2003. We subsequently discontinued these proceedings as a result of the execution of the July 2003 Agreement. Among other things, the July 2003 Agreement led to the resolution at that time of previous disagreements with respect to the payment of dividends by Yuchai to us and the re-appointment of Mr. Wang Jianming as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Yuchai in September 2003. We and Yuchai also agreed to work together to implement corporate governance procedures and to promote plans to enhance shareholder value. However, from time to time, we have continued to face difficulties in obtaining the cooperation of the Chinese shareholders of Yuchai in the daily management and operation of Yuchai and to fully exercise our controlling interest in Yuchai. Following the execution of the July 2003 Agreement, disagreements among the parties recurred. For example, representatives of the Chinese shareholders of Yuchai alleged that resolutions passed by our six wholly-owned subsidiaries at Yuchai’s shareholders’ meeting in December 2004 were invalid, allegations with which we disagreed.

In April 2005, we, Yuchai and Coomber agreed on steps relating to the adoption of corporate governance practices at Yuchai and a broad framework for the restructuring of our ownership of Yuchai, and entered into the Reorganization Agreement. The Reorganization Agreement is intended to be in furtherance of the July 2003 Agreement. In December 2005 and November 2006, the parties amended certain provisions of the Reorganization Agreement, including extending the implementation deadline to June 30, 2007. In June 2007, we, Yuchai, Coomber and GY entered into the Cooperation Agreement which amends certain terms of the Reorganization Agreement. Pursuant to the amendments to the Reorganization Agreement, the Company has agreed that the restructuring and spin-off of Yuchai will not be effected, and, recognizing the understandings that have been reached between the Company and GY to jointly undertake efforts to expand the business of Yuchai, the Company will not seek to recover the anti-dilution fee of US$20 million from Yuchai. Although the parties to the Cooperation Agreement are expected to work towards its implementation as expeditiously as possible, no assurance can be given as to when the transactions contemplated therein will be fully consummated, or that implementation of the Cooperation Agreement will effectively resolve all of the difficulties faced by us with respect to its investment in Yuchai.

Dividends

Our principal source of cash flow has historically been our share of the dividends, if any, paid to us by Yuchai, as described under “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — B. Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Table of Contents

In May 1993, in order to finance further expansion, Yuchai sold shares to the Company and became a Sino-foreign joint stock company, i.e., a foreign-invested enterprise, or FIE, under the PRC Foreign Investment Law effective on January 1, 2020. PRC laws and regulations require that before any company, including an FIE such as Yuchai, distributes profits, it must (i) recover losses in previous years; (ii) satisfy all tax liabilities; and (iii) make contributions to the statutory reserve fund in an amount equal to 10% of net income for the year determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the PRC, or PRC GAAP. However, the allocation of statutory reserve fund will not be further required once the accumulated amount of such fund reaches 50% of the registered capital of Yuchai. Any determination by Yuchai to declare a dividend will be at the discretion of Yuchai’s shareholders and will be dependent upon Yuchai’s financial condition, results of operations, regulatory factors and other relevant factors. Yuchai’s Articles of Association provide that dividends shall be paid at least once a year out of after-tax profits (if any). To the extent Yuchai has foreign currency available, dividends declared by shareholders at a shareholders’ meeting to be paid to holders of Foreign Shares (currently only the Company) will be payable in foreign currency, and such shareholders will have priority thereto. If the foreign currency available is insufficient to pay such dividends, such dividends may be payable partly in Renminbi and partly in foreign currency. Dividends allocated to holders of Foreign Shares may be remitted in accordance with the relevant Chinese laws and regulations. In the event that the dividends are distributed in Renminbi, such dividends may be converted into foreign currency and remitted in accordance with the relevant laws, regulations and policies in China.

Any determination by the Company to declare a dividend will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations and other relevant factors. The following table sets forth a five-year summary of dividends we have paid to our shareholders as well as dividends paid to us by Yuchai:

See “Item 16E. Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers.” Pursuant to Section 42B(11) of the Companies Act 1981 (as amended) of Bermuda, no dividend or other distribution of a company’s assets shall be paid or made to the company in respect of shares held by the company as treasury shares. As such, shares repurchased by the Company under the share buyback plan and held by the Company as treasury shares are and will be excluded from the payment of the Company’s dividend.

A.Memorandum of Association and Bye-Laws

Corporate Governance

We are an exempted company incorporated in Bermuda and are subject to the laws of Bermuda. In addition, an exempted company may comply with the corporate governance regime of the relevant jurisdiction in which the company operates or applicable listing standards. Under Bermuda law, directors of a company owe a fiduciary duty to the company to act in good faith in their dealings with or on behalf of the company and to exercise their powers and fulfill the duties of their office honestly. In addition, the Companies Act 1981, as amended, of Bermuda (“Bermuda Companies Act”) imposes a duty on every officer, which includes a director, of an exempted company in exercising his or her powers and discharging his or her duties to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company and to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. Further, every officer is required to comply with the Bermuda Companies Act and regulations thereunder and the bye-laws of the company. The Bermuda Companies Act does not impose specific obligations in respect of corporate governance, such as those prescribed by NYSE listing standards, requiring a company to (i) appoint independent directors to the board of directors; (ii) hold regular meetings of non-management directors; (iii) establish audit, nominating and governance or compensation committees and adopt corporate governance guidelines for such committees; (iv) have shareholders approve equity compensation plans; or (v) adopt a code of business conduct and ethics.

We are also subject to the NYSE listing standards, although, because we are a foreign private issuer, those standards are considerably different from those applied to U.S. companies. Under the NYSE rules, we need only (i) establish an independent audit committee that has specified responsibilities as described in the following table; (ii) provide prompt certification by our chief executive officer of any material non-compliance with any corporate governance rules; (iii) provide periodic written affirmations to the NYSE with respect to our corporate governance practices; and (iv) provide a brief description of significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those followed by U.S. companies.

Director Independence
•	A majority of the board must consist of independent directors.		•	Three of our nine directors, Messrs. Xie Tao, Neo Poh Kiat and Wong Hong Wai are independent within the meaning of the NYSE standards.
Independence is defined by various criteria including the absence of a material relationship between director and the listed company. Directors who are employees, are immediate family of the chief executive officer or receive over US$120,000 per year in direct compensation from the listed company are not independent. Directors who are employees of or otherwise affiliated through immediate family with the listed company’s independent auditor are also not independent.

Directors

Director Interests and Voting

A Director of the Company cannot vote or be counted in the quorum with regard to any contract or arrangement or any other proposal in which he has any interest or in respect of which he has any duty which conflicts with his duty to the Company. The restriction from voting and being counted in the quorum does not apply if the only interest the Director has is included in the following list:

(a)a resolution regarding granting any security or indemnity for any money lent or obligation incurred by such Director at the request, or for the benefit, of the Company or any of our subsidiaries (or a company of which we are a beneficially wholly-owned subsidiary);

(b)a resolution regarding granting any security or indemnity to any third party for a debt or obligation which is owed by the Company or any of our subsidiaries (or a company of which we are a beneficially wholly-owned subsidiary) to the third party, for which such Director has assumed responsibility in whole or in part under a guarantee or indemnity;

(c)a resolution about an offer of shares, debentures or other securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (or a company of which we are a beneficially wholly-owned subsidiary) for subscription or purchase in which such Director is to be a participant in the underwriting or sub-underwriting of the offer;

(d)a resolution about any proposal involving any other company in which such Director is interested, whether directly or indirectly and whether as an officer or shareholder or otherwise, provided that such Director is not the holder of, or directly or indirectly beneficially interested in, 5% or more of (i) any class of the equity share capital of such company or in any third company through which such Director’s interest is derived or (ii) the voting rights in that company;

(e)any contract, arrangement or proposal for the benefit of our employees under which such Director benefits in a similar manner as the employees and does not receive any privileges or advantages not provided to the employees; or

(f)any proposal in which such Director is interested in the same manner as other holders of our shares or our debentures or our other securities or any of our subsidiaries by virtue only of such Director’s interest in our shares or our debentures or our other securities or any of our subsidiaries.

If our Board of Directors is considering proposals about appointing two or more Directors to offices or employments with the Company or any company in which we are interested, each such Director (if not disqualified from voting under proviso to item (d) above) can vote and be included in the quorum for each resolution, except the one concerning such Director.

Annual General and Special General Meetings

We must hold an annual general meeting each year. Our Directors decide where and when it will be held. Not more than fifteen months may elapse between the date of one annual general meeting and the next. At least 14 clear days’ written notice must be given for every annual general meeting and for every special general meeting. The notice for any annual general meeting must state the date, place and time at which the meeting is to be held, and the business to be conducted at the meeting, including, if applicable, any election of Directors. The notice for any special general meeting must state the time, place and the general nature of the business to be considered at the meeting and shall state that a shareholder entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote instead of him.

If within 21 days of such deposit of the request, the Board fails to convene the meeting, such shareholders may convene the meeting themselves in accordance with Section 74(3) of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda.

Limitations on Rights to Own Our Shares

There are no limitations under Bermuda law or our Memorandum of Association and Bye-Laws on the rights of non-Bermudians or non-residents of Bermuda who are shareholders of the Company to hold or vote their shares.

We are exempt from the provisions of the Bermuda Companies Act which restrict the percentage of issued share capital that may be held by non-Bermudians, but as an exempted company we may not participate in certain business transactions, including carrying on business of any kind or type whatsoever in Bermuda either alone or in partnership or otherwise except, inter alia, carrying on business with persons outside Bermuda, in furtherance of the business of the Company carried on outside Bermuda or under a license granted by the Minister of Finance of Bermuda.

In accordance with our Bye-Laws, share certificates are only issued to members of the Company (i.e., persons registered in the register of members as holders of shares in the Company). We are not bound to see to the execution of any trust, whether express, implied or constructive, to which any of our shares are subject and whether or not we had notice of such trust.

B.Exchange Controls

Bermuda Exchange Controls

We have been designated as a non-resident of Bermuda for exchange control purposes by the Bermuda Monetary Authority. Because we have been designated as a non-resident for Bermuda exchange control purposes, there are no restrictions on our ability to transfer funds in and out of Bermuda or to pay dividends to United States residents who are holders of the shares of common stock, other than in respect of local Bermuda currency.

China Exchange Controls

Effective from January 1, 1994, a unitary exchange rate system for the conversion between Renminbi and the foreign currencies was introduced in China, and accordingly, the China Foreign Exchange Trading System, or CFETS, inter-bank foreign exchange market was established. Under the unitary foreign exchange system, PBOC sets daily exchange rates, or the PBOC Rates, for conversion of Renminbi into US dollar and other currencies based on the CFETS interbank market rates, and the Bank of China and other authorized banks may engage in foreign exchange transactions at rates that vary within a prescribed range above or below PBOC Rates.

Yuchai, as an FIE, is permitted to retain its foreign currency earnings and maintain foreign currency accounts at designated foreign exchange banks. However, there can be no assurance that the current authorizations for FIEs to retain their foreign exchange to satisfy foreign exchange liabilities in the future will not be limited or eliminated or that Yuchai will be able to obtain sufficient foreign exchange to satisfy their foreign exchange requirements. Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account and the foreign debt account continue to be subject to limitations and require registrations with the reviews from the designated foreign exchange banks and SAFE, which could affect the ability of Yuchai to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing, including by means of loans or capital contributions from the Company.

76

Table of Contents

In the event of shortages of foreign currencies, Yuchai may be unable to convert sufficient Renminbi into foreign currency to meet its foreign currency obligations or to pay dividends in foreign currency. Yuchai requires foreign currency to purchase a substantial portion of the manufacturing equipment required for the planned expansion of its manufacturing facilities and to meet foreign currency-denominated debt payment obligations. Yuchai will also require foreign currency for payment of its imported engine components.

The value of the Renminbi is subject to changes in Chinese government policies and to international economic and political developments. In recent years, there have been periods of volatility of the exchange rate between Renminbi and the US dollar. By comparing the currency exchange rate of the US dollar against Renminbi, which was 7.1884 as of December 31, 2024 and 6.9228 as of February 27, 2026, respectively, the Renminbi appreciated about 3.7% against the US dollar with the average exchange rate of 7.1230. It is difficult to predict how market forces or government policy may impact the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the US dollar in the future.

The PRC authorities, including SAFE, POBC and NDRC, have introduced a series of reforms to simplify foreign administration. Key measures include:

•On February 13, 2015, SAFE issued the Notice on Further Simplifying and Improving the Foreign Exchange Administration Policies on Direct Investments (“Notice 13”), which became effective on June 1, 2015. According to Notice 13, the banks are designated to directly review and deal with the foreign exchange registration for foreign direct investment in China Mainland and outbound direct investment. SAFE shall supervise the registration activities indirectly through banks. Certain operating procedures for direct investments are also simplified.

•On March 30, 2015, SAFE issued the Notice on Reforming the Administrative Approach Regarding the Settlement of the Foreign Exchange Capitals of Foreign-invested Enterprises (“Notice 19”), which took effect on June 1, 2015. According to Notice 19, an ordinary FIE such as Yuchai, may make the equity investment by transferring the Renminbi converted from capital contribution in foreign currency (“Converted Renminbi”) to the Account for Foreign Exchange Settlement Pending Payment opened by the invested enterprise.

•On June 9, 2016, SAFE issued the Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Reforming and Standardizing the Administrative Provisions on Capital Account Foreign Exchange Settlement (“Notice 16”), which became effective on the same day. Pursuant to Notice 16, domestic institutions (FIEs included) may voluntarily settle 100% (the percentage is subject to adjustment by SAFE) of their foreign exchange earnings under capital account (including capitals contribution in foreign currency and foreign debts, etc.) to the Account for Foreign Exchange Settlement Pending Payment based on actual needs under the permitted business scope. Notice 16 further loosens up the restrictions imposed on the use of Converted Renminbi. According to Notice 16, the Converted Renminbi can be used for providing loans to affiliated enterprises of FIEs.

•On January 12, 2017, PBOC issued the Notice of People’s Bank of China on Matters Concerning Macro-Prudential Management on All-round Cross-border Financing (“Notice 9”), which took effect on the same day. According to Notice 9, the domestic entities (other than FIEs) can borrow foreign debts without the pre-approval of SAFE as well as the quota for foreign debts of domestic entities shall be calculated by reference to the annul net asset, outstanding foreign debts, and the other factors.

•On January 26, 2017, SAFE promulgated the Notice of State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Improving the Inspection of Authenticity and Compliance to Further Promote Foreign Exchange Control (“Notice 3”), which became effective on the same day. The principle of Notice 3 is to encourage capital inflow. Under Notice 3, the debtor may directly or indirectly repatriate the funds under guarantee for use domestically by way of domestic borrowing or equity investment, or by other means. Notice 3 emphasizes on the policy of profit remittance of FIEs. To process outbound remittance of profits in an amount equivalent to or above USD 50,000 for an FIE, the bank shall examine several documents to assure the authenticity of the profit distribution. An FIE shall use the profit to first make up the losses suffered in the previous years prior to remitting the profits overseas.

•On October 23, 2019, SAFE promulgated the Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Further Facilitating Cross-border Trade and Investment, which canceled the restriction on the domestic equity investment by non-investment foreign-funded enterprises with their capital funds. Subject to the requirements as set forth in the Foreign Investment Negative List and the authenticity and compliance with the regulations of domestic investment projects, as well as other requirements regulating foreign investment, non-investment foreign-funded enterprises now are allowed to lawfully make domestic equity investments by using their capital.

•On April 10, 2020, SAFE promulgated the Notice by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of Optimizing Foreign Exchange Administration to Support Foreign Business Development, which further clarified that eligible enterprises are allowed to use revenues under their capital accounts, such as capital funds and foreign debts, for payment in China without providing banks with materials to certify the authenticity of the transaction-by-transaction basis in advance, provided that such funds shall be used in compliance with the laws and regulations regarding the use for revenues under the capital accounts.

Table of Contents

•On January 5, 2023, NDRC promulgated the Administrative Measures for Examination and Registration of Medium and Long-term Foreign Debts of Enterprises, pursuant to which any foreign debt provided by foreign entities to PRC entities or the overseas enterprises or branches controlled by the PRC entities with a term of more than one year must complete the formalities of examination and registration with NDRC.

•On September 12, 2025, SAFE promulgated the Notice on Deepening Reforms to Foreign Exchange Administration for Cross-border Investment and Financing (“Notice 43”), which became effective on the same day. Notice 43 removes the foreign exchange registration requirement for domestic reinvestment by FIEs. It also allows FIEs to reinvest in China using their foreign exchange profits legitimately generated within China.

C.Taxation

Bermuda Taxation

There is no Bermuda profits tax, withholding tax, capital gains tax, capital transfer tax, estate duty or inheritance tax payable by shareholders of the Company other than by shareholders ordinarily resident in Bermuda. Bermuda enacted the Corporate Income Tax Act 2023 on December 27, 2023 (the “CIT Act”). Entities subject to tax under the CIT Act are the Bermuda constituent entities of multi-national groups. A multi-national group is defined under the CIT Act as a group with entities in more than one jurisdiction with consolidated revenues of at least EUR750 million for two out of the four previous fiscal years. A Bermuda entity that is tax resident in another jurisdiction under the laws of that jurisdiction based on its location of management and control is not a Bermuda constituent entity. If a Bermuda constituent entity of a multi-national group is subject to tax under the CIT Act, such tax is charged at a rate of 15% of the net taxable income of such constituent entity as determined in accordance with and subject to the adjustments set out in the CIT Act (including in respect of foreign tax credits applicable to the Bermuda constituent entity). No tax is chargeable under the CIT Act until tax years starting on or after January 1, 2025.

The Company has obtained from the Minister of Finance of Bermuda under the Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act 1966, as amended, an assurance that, in the event that any legislation is enacted in Bermuda imposing any tax computed on profits or income, or computed on any capital asset, gain or appreciation, or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax, the imposition of such tax shall not be applicable to the Company or to any of its operations, shares, debentures or other obligations of the Company until March 31, 2035, except insofar as such tax or duty applies to persons ordinarily resident in Bermuda or is payable by the Company in respect of real property owned by or leased or let to the Company in Bermuda. Any liability for tax of a Bermuda constituent entity in scope of the CIT Act shall apply notwithstanding the assurance given to such entity pursuant to the Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act 1966.

Singapore Taxation

Dividends or Other Distributions with Respect to Ordinary Shares

Under the one-tier corporate tax system which currently applies to all Singapore tax resident companies, tax on corporate profits is final, and dividends paid by a Singapore tax resident company are not subject to withholding tax and will be tax exempt in the hands of a shareholder, whether or not the shareholder is a company or an individual and whether or not the shareholder is a Singapore tax resident.

Capital Gains upon Disposition of Ordinary Shares

Under current Singapore tax laws, there is no tax on capital gains. There are no specific laws or regulations which deal with the characterization of whether a gain is income or capital in nature. Gains arising from the disposal of our ordinary shares may be construed to be of an income nature and subject to Singapore income tax, if they arise from activities which the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore regards as the carrying on of a trade or business in Singapore. However, under Section 13W of the Income Tax Act 1947, any gains derived by a divesting company from its disposal of ordinary shares in an investee company between June 1, 2012 and December 31, 2025 are generally not taxable if immediately prior to the date of the relevant disposal, the investing company has held at least 20% of the ordinary shares in the investee company for a continuous period of at least 24 months (“safe harbor rule”). With effect from January 1, 2026, the scope of eligible gains has been expanded to include gains from the disposal of qualifying preference shares. In addition, the 20% shareholding condition may be satisfied on a group basis.

Separately, under Section 10L of the Income Tax Act 1947, gains received in Singapore by an entity of a relevant group from the sale or disposal of a foreign asset (which include shares issued by a company that is incorporated outside Singapore) on or after January 1, 2024 will be treated as income chargeable to tax where certain conditions are met.

Goods and Services Tax

The issue or transfer of ownership of our ordinary shares should be exempt from Singapore Goods and Services Tax, or GST. Hence, the holders would not incur any GST on the subscription or subsequent transfer of the shares.

People’s Republic of China Taxation

The following discussion summarizes the taxes applicable to the Company’s investment in Yuchai and applicable to Yuchai under the Chinese law.

Taxation of Dividends from Yuchai

In 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress adopted a new tax law, China Unified Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “CIT Law”), which became effective on January 1, 2008 and was amended by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on December 29, 2018. The State Council adopted the related implementation rules on December 6, 2007 which were amended on April 23, 2019 and further amended on December 6, 2024. In accordance with the CIT Law and its implementation rules, dividends derived from the revenues accumulated from January 1, 2008 and are paid by PRC companies to non-resident enterprises are generally subject to a PRC withholding tax levied at a rate of 10% unless exempted or reduced pursuant to an applicable double-taxation treaty or other exemptions. Dividends paid by PRC companies to resident enterprises, including enterprises established under the laws of non-PRC jurisdictions but whose “de facto management body” is located in the PRC, are not subject to any PRC withholding tax, unless the dividends are derived from the publicly traded shares which have not been held continuously by the resident enterprises for twelve months.

On February 20, 2009, the State Administration of Taxation promulgated the Notice on Relevant Issues of Implementing Dividend Clauses under Tax Treaties, or the Notice. According to the Notice, the transaction or arrangement, the major purpose for which is to obtain preferential tax treatment, shall not justify the application of preferential treatment stipulated in dividend clauses under tax treaties. Should the tax payer improperly enjoy the treatment under tax treaties as a result of such transaction or arrangement, the tax authorities in charge shall have the right to adjust. We have recognized a provision for withholding tax payable for profits accumulated after December 31, 2007 for the earnings that we do not plan to indefinitely reinvest in the PRC enterprises.

Taxation of Disposition of Yuchai Shares

In the event the Company, through its subsidiaries, transfers any of its current holding of the Yuchai Shares, the amount received in excess of its original capital contribution would be subject to Chinese withholding tax at a rate of 10%.

In the event that Yuchai is liquidated, the portion of the balance of its net assets or remaining property, after deducting undistributed profits, various funds and liquidation expenses, that exceeds Yuchai’s paid-in capital would be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 10%.

On February 3, 2015, the Chinese State Administration of Taxation issued the Circular on Several Issues Concerning the Enterprise Income Tax on Indirect Property Transfer by Non-Resident Enterprises (“Circular 7”), which became effective on the same date.

On October 17, 2017, the Chinese State Administration of Taxation issued the Announcement of the State Administration of Taxation on Issues Concerning the Withholding of Non-resident Enterprise Income Tax at Source (the “Announcement 37”), certain provision was repealed and Subsection 2 of Section 8 of Circular 7 was repealed.

Pursuant to the Announcement 37 and the Circular 7, the parties involved in the indirect transfer of Chinese taxable properties and the Chinese resident enterprises whose equity is transferred indirectly may report the equity transfer matters to the competent tax authority and shall provide certain documents and materials including but not limited to, equity transfer contract or agreement, enterprise’s equity structure prior to and after the equity transfer, the financial and accounting statements in the previous two years of the enterprises abroad and their subordinate enterprises who directly or indirectly hold Chinese taxable properties. The competent tax authority may also require the parties involved in and planning for the indirect transfer of Chinese taxable properties and the Chinese resident enterprises whose equity is transferred indirectly to provide the aforementioned materials and other relevant materials. Where a non-resident enterprise indirectly transfers properties such as equity in Chinese resident enterprises without any justifiable business purposes with the aim of avoiding to pay enterprise income tax, such indirect transfer shall be reclassified as a direct transfer of equity in Chinese resident enterprise.

Table of Contents

Income Tax

In 2007, the National People’s Congress approved and promulgated the CIT Law, which became effective from January 1, 2008 and was further amended on December 29, 2018. Under the CIT Law, foreign invested enterprises and domestic companies are subject to a uniform corporate tax rate of 25% but Yuchai may continue to enjoy the reduced corporate tax rate of 15% if it qualifies under the High Technology Incentive Scheme or the Western Development Incentive Scheme.

•The High Technology Incentive was introduced in 2008. Companies that are high technology companies who must fulfill certain criteria and upon approval enjoy a reduced corporate tax rate of 15%. The reduced corporate tax rate took effect from January 1, 2008. Yuchai has applied to tax authorities to qualify under this scheme every 3 years since 2011 and was certified as a high technology company with effect from 2011 to 2025. Yuchai filed its corporate tax returns under the High Technology Incentive Scheme from 2015 to 2024 and will file its corporate tax return under this scheme for 2025 in mid-2026.

•The Western Development Incentive Scheme was first introduced in 2001 to encourage investment in the Western region of China. Companies operating in the Western region who fulfill certain criteria and upon approval enjoy a reduced corporate tax rate of 15%. This scheme was first applicable from 2001 to 2010. In 2011, the scheme was extended to 2020, and further extended to December 2030 with effective from January 1, 2021. Yuchai filed its corporate tax returns under this scheme from 2008 to 2014. According to latest published catalogue of qualifying industries for the Western Development Incentive Scheme, MGP and Sky Cloud filed their corporate tax return under this scheme for 2022 and 2023. In 2024, MGP obtained the certification of the high technology company, and filed its corporate tax return under High Technology Incentive Scheme for 2024 and will file its corporate tax return under this scheme for 2025 in mid-2026. Sky Cloud will continue to file its corporate tax return under Western Development Incentive Scheme.

The China tax bureau periodically conduct tax examinations. Any adverse findings in tax examinations or change in the tax legislation in China could have adverse impact on our consolidated financial conditions or results of operations. Furthermore, pursuant to the CIT Law, if an enterprise incorporated outside the PRC has its “de facto management organization” located within the PRC in accordance with the CIT, such enterprise may be recognized as a PRC tax resident enterprise and thus may be subject to enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on their worldwide income. The Implementation Rules specify that a “de facto management organization” means an organization that exercises material and full management and control over matters including the enterprise’s production and operations, personnel, finance and property. Although the Implementation Rules provide a definition of “de facto management organization”, such definition has not been tested and there remains uncertainty as to when a non-PRC enterprise’s “de facto management organization” is considered to be located in the PRC. If we or any of our subsidiaries registered outside China are treated as “China tax resident enterprise” under the CIT Law, our income tax expenses may increase and our profitability could be impacted.

Withholding Tax

On October 17, 2017, the Chinese State Administration of Taxation issued the Announcement 37 (as defined above), which became effective on December 1, 2017 and was further amended on June 15, 2018 pursuant to the Announcement of the State Administration of Taxation on Amending Certain Taxation Regulatory Documents.

In accordance with the CIT Law and the Announcement 37, if a non-resident enterprise obtains the income originating from the PRC, or the taxable income, including equity investment income such as dividend and bonus, interest, rental and royalty income, income from property transfer and other income, the payable enterprise income tax on the taxable income shall be withheld at the source by the enterprise or individual who is directly obligated to make relevant payment to the non-resident enterprise under relevant laws or contracts, or the withholding agent.

The withholding agent shall declare and pay the withheld tax to the competent tax authority in the place where such withholding agent is located within 7 days from the date of occurrence of the withholding obligation. Where the income obtained by the withholding agent and required to be withheld at source is in the form of dividends, extra dividends or any other equity investment gains, the date of occurrence of the obligation for withholding relevant payable tax is the date of actual payment of the dividends, extra dividends or other equity investment gains. Where the non-resident enterprise receives in installments the income subject to withholding of tax at the source from the same transfer of property, the amount received thereby in installments can be deemed as the recovered cost of the property invested previously and the withholding tax shall be calculated and paid after the recovery of the cost in full.

The withholding agent shall complete the Form of Report on Withholding of Enterprise Income Tax of the People’s Republic of China in declaration and payment of the tax required to be withheld. The withholding agent may submit relevant declaration materials before declaration and payment of the tax required to be withheld and such materials shall not be submitted repetitively in declaration.

Table of Contents

In the event that a non-resident enterprise fails to file and pay the withheld tax in the manner or within the timeframe required, it will be ordered by the tax authority to pay the withhold tax within a limited period of time.

Value-Added Tax

In addition to Chinese income tax, Yuchai is subject to valued added tax, or the VAT. The Value-Added Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China, promulgated on December 25, 2024, and effective from January 1, 2026, requires that all entities and individuals that sell goods, services, intangible assets, or real property within the territory of the PRC, or import goods, are VAT taxpayers and shall pay VAT in accordance with the law. Pursuant to Article 10 of the Value-Added Tax Law, the standard VAT rate in China is 13%. A preferential rate of 9% applies to key sectors such as transportation, postal services, basic telecommunications, construction, real estate leasing services, the sale of real estate, and the transfer of land-use rights, as well as to specific goods vital to people’s livelihood, such as agricultural products and agricultural machinery. The supply of services and intangible assets is generally subject to a 6% rate.

United States Federal Income Taxation

This section describes material United States federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of our common stock. It applies to a US Holder (as defined below) that holds the common stock as a capital asset for tax purposes. This section does not apply to a US Holder that is a member of a special class of holders subject to special rules, including:

•a financial institution,

•a dealer in securities,

•a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for its securities holdings,

•a real estate investment trust,

•a regulated investment company,

•U.S. expatriates,

•persons who acquired common stock pursuant to the exercise of any employee share option or otherwise as compensation,

•a tax-exempt organization,

•an insurance company,

•a person liable for any alternative minimum tax,

•a person that actually or constructively owns 10% or more of the stock of the Company (by vote or value),

•a person that owns our common stock through a partnership or other pass-through entity or arrangement,

•a person that holds our common stock as part of a straddle or a hedging or conversion transaction,

•a person whose functional currency is not the US dollar, or

•a person subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to the common stock being taken into account in an applicable financial statement.

This section is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. There is currently no comprehensive income tax treaty between the United States and Bermuda.

This section does not describe any tax consequences arising out of the tax laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction, any estate or gift tax consequences or the Medicare tax on certain “net investment income.” If an entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes holds the common stock, the treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners in such partnerships should consult with their tax advisors.

For purposes of this discussion, a US Holder is a beneficial owner of our common stock that is:

•an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States,

•a US domestic corporation (or other entity taxable as a US domestic corporation for United States federal income tax purposes),

81

Table of Contents

•an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or

•a trust, if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or if a valid election is in place to treat the trust as a United States person.

US Holders should consult their tax advisor regarding the United States federal, state and local and other tax consequences of owning and disposing of shares in their particular circumstances.

Taxation of Dividends

Under the United States federal income tax laws, and subject to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules discussed below, US Holders will include in gross income the gross amount of any dividend paid by the Company out of its current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes). The amount of dividends will include any cash distributions and the fair market value of certain stock distributions and distributions of other property. In this regard, if the distribution is at the election of any stockholder, payable either in cash or in shares, the receipt of shares by the US Holders would generally be treated as a taxable distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of such shares as of the date of the distribution. The dividend is ordinary income that the US Holder must include in income when the dividend is actually or constructively received. The dividend will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to United States corporations in respect of dividends received from other United States corporations. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for United States federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the US Holder’s basis in the shares and thereafter as capital gain. We currently do not, and we do not intend to, calculate our earnings and profits under United States federal income tax principles. Therefore, a US Holder should expect that a distribution will generally be reported as a dividend even if that distribution would otherwise be treated as a non-taxable return of capital or as capital gain under the rules described above.

With respect to non-corporate taxpayers, dividends may be taxed at the lower applicable capital gains rate provided that (1) the common stock is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, (2) the Company is not a PFIC (as discussed below) for either the Company’s taxable year in which the dividend was paid or the preceding taxable year, and (3) certain holding period requirements are met. Common stock generally is considered for purposes of clause (1) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market if it is listed on the NYSE. US Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for dividends paid with respect to the Company’s common stock.

For foreign tax credit limitation purposes, the dividend will generally constitute foreign source income and will generally be “passive category income.”

Sale or Other Disposition of Common Stock

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, upon the sale or other disposition of shares, a US Holder will recognize capital gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes equal to the difference between the US Holder’s amount realized and the US Holder’s tax basis in such shares. If a US Holder receives consideration for shares paid in a currency other than the US dollar, the US Holder’s amount realized will be the US dollar value of the payment received. In general, the US dollar value of such a payment will be determined on the date of sale or disposition. On the settlement date, a US Holder may recognize US source foreign currency gain or loss (taxable as ordinary income or loss) equal to the difference (if any) between the US dollar value of the amount received based on the exchange rates in effect on the date of sale or other disposition and the settlement date. However, if the shares are treated as traded on an established securities market and the US Holder is a cash basis taxpayer or an accrual basis taxpayer who has made a special election, the US dollar value of the amount realized in a foreign currency is determined by translating the amount received at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the sale, and no exchange gain or loss would be recognized at that time. Capital gain of a non-corporate US Holder is generally taxed at a reduced rate where the property is held more than one year. The gain or loss will generally be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

PFIC Rules

The Company believes that its shares should not be treated as stock of a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes for the taxable year that ended on December 31, 2025. However, the application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty in several respects, and we cannot assure you that the United States Internal Revenue Service will not take a contrary position. In addition, PFIC status is a factual determination which cannot be made until the close of the taxable year. Accordingly, there is no guarantee that the Company will not be a PFIC for any future taxable year. Furthermore, because the total value of the Company’s assets for purposes of the asset test generally will be calculated using the market price of the Company’s shares, our PFIC status will depend in large part on the market price of the Company’s shares. Accordingly, fluctuations in the market price of the Company’s shares could render the Company a PFIC for any year. A non-U.S. corporation is considered a PFIC for any taxable year if either:

•at least 75% of its gross income is passive income, or

•at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets during a taxable year) is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income (the “asset test”).

In the PFIC determination, the Company will be treated as owning its proportionate share of the assets and earning its proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more (by value) of the stock.

If the Company were to be treated as a PFIC for any year during the US Holder’s holding period, unless a US Holder elects to be taxed annually on a mark-to-market basis with respect to the shares (which election may be made only if the Company’s shares are “marketable stock” within the meaning of Section 1296 of the Code), a US Holder will be subject to special tax rules with respect to any “excess distribution” received and any gain realized from a sale or other disposition (including a pledge) of that holder’s shares. Distributions a US Holder receives in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or the holder’s holding period for the shares will be treated as excess distributions. Under these special tax rules:

•the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over the US Holder’s holding period for the shares;

•the amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which the Company is treated as a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary income; and

•the amount allocated to each other year will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.

The tax liability for amounts allocated to years prior to the year of disposition or “excess distribution” cannot be offset by any net operating losses for such years, and gains (but not losses) realized on the sale of the shares cannot be treated as capital, even if the shares are held as capital assets. If the Company were to be treated as a PFIC for any year during which a US Holder holds the shares, the Company generally would continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to that US Holder for all succeeding years during which it owns the shares. If the Company were to cease to be treated as a PFIC, however, a US Holder may avoid some of the adverse effects of the PFIC regime by making a deemed sale election with respect to the shares.

If a US Holder holds shares in any year in which the Company is a PFIC, that holder will be required to file an annual information report with the United States Internal Revenue Service.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Dividend payments with respect to our shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of our shares may be subject to information reporting to the United States Internal Revenue Service and possible United States backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a US Holder that furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification or that is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. US Holders that are required to establish their exempt status generally must provide such certification on United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. US Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against your United States federal income tax liability, and you may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the United States Internal Revenue Service and furnishing any required information in a timely manner.

Additional Reporting Requirements

Certain US Holders who are individuals are required to report information relating to an interest in our shares, subject to certain exceptions. Under certain circumstances, an entity may be treated as an individual for purposes of these rules. US Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this United States federal income tax legislation on their ownership and disposition of our shares.

Global minimum top-up tax

In October 2021, The OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework (“IF”) on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting reached agreement on the reform of international tax rules. This was endorsed by 137 out of 141 IF members and by G20 finance ministers. The OECD has put forth two proposals—Pillar One and Pillar Two—that revise the existing profit allocation and nexus rules (profit allocation based on location of sales versus physical presence) and ensure a minimal level of taxation, respectively. The GloBE Model rules were published by the OECD to implement the Pillar Two rules and commentary to the Pillar Two Model Rules was also released.

Pillar Two GloBE Model Rules apply to multinational enterprise groups, with reported consolidated annual revenue of at least EUR 750 million in at least two of the four financial years preceding the first applicable year to a global minimum effective tax rate of 15%, with mechanism to impose top-up tax on low-taxed income and provide certain safe harbors to simplify compliance. Under the GloBE framework, the effective tax rate is determined on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. Where the effective tax rate in a jurisdiction falls below 15%, a top-up tax is calculated and imposed. In addition, the Subject-To-Tax Rule allows source jurisdictions to impose taxing rights on intragroup payments of which the income is taxed in the residence State at a rate lower than 9%.

The GloBE Rules under Pillar Two ensure that large multinational 15% tax on profits in each jurisdiction where they operate, with mechanism to top up low taxed income and provide safe harbors for compliance.

The Pillar Two legislation has been enacted in Singapore and some of the jurisdictions where the Group operates in. It is effective in Germany for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2024 and in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Hong Kong for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2025.

The Group has applied a mandatory temporary relief from deferred tax accounting for the impact of the top-up tax and accounts for it as a current tax when it is incurred.

The Group does not expect Pillar Two top-up exposure arising from its operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.

D.Documents on Display

The SEC maintains a website at www.sec.gov/ that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding registrants that make electronic filings with the SEC using its EDGAR system. As a foreign private issuer, we are required to use the EDGAR system. We have done so in the past and will continue to do so in order to make our reports available through the SEC’s website. In addition, we upload our reports on our website at www.cyilimited.com.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are subject to market rate risks due to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest rate risk

Our primary exposure of interest rate risk relates to interest-bearing loans and borrowings from banks. Yuchai’s debt consists of both variable and fixed rate short-term, medium-term and long-term Renminbi denominated borrowings. The variable interest rates of loans and borrowings are generally established in accordance with directives announced from time to time by the PBOC, which are in turn affected by various factors such as the general economic conditions in China and the monetary policies of the Chinese government. Information relating to interest-bearing loans and borrowings of the Company are disclosed in Note 27 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 18.

The Company manages its interest rate risk by having a mixture of fixed and variable rates for its deposits and borrowings.

84

Table of Contents

Interest rate sensitivity

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for interest-bearing loans and borrowings from banks at December 31, 2025 and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the year and held constant throughout the reporting period in the case of instruments that have floating rates. A 50 basis points increase or decrease is used and represents management’s assessment of the possible change in interest rates.

If interest rate had been 50 (2024: 50) basis points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the profit before tax for the year ended December 31, 2025 of the Company would decrease/increase by RMB 10.1 million (US$1.5 million) (2024: profit decrease/increase by RMB 12.5 million) arising from interest expenses on interest-bearing loans and borrowings.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

Our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk primarily relates to cash and bank balances, purchases and sales that are denominated in currencies other than the respective functional currencies of entities within the Group. The currencies giving rise to this risk in fiscal years 2024 and 2025 are primarily Singapore dollar, US dollar and Euro.

Foreign currency translation exposure is managed by incurring debt in the operating currency so that where possible operating cash flows can be primarily used to repay obligations in the local currency. This also has the effect of minimizing the exchange differences recorded against income, as the exchange differences on the net investment are recorded directly against equity.

The Company’s exposures to foreign currency exchange rate risk are as follows:

2024		Singapore Dollar				Euro				US Dollar				Others
		RMB				RMB				RMB				RMB
		(in thousands)
Trade and other receivables			625				3,997				63,161				253
Cash and bank balances			133,884				7,212				13,124				1,117
Financial liabilities			(870	)			—				—				—
Trade and other payables			(7,628	)			(3,522	)			(7,238	)			(4,808	)
			126,011				7,687				69,047				(3,438	)

2025		Singapore Dollar				Euro				US Dollar				Others
		RMB				RMB				RMB				RMB
		(in thousands)
Trade and other receivables			309				21,088				78,667				152
Cash and bank balances			109,713				1,231				18,573				1,334
Financial liabilities			(176	)			—				—				—
Trade and other payables			(11,642	)			(8,283	)			(2,683	)			(12,589	)
			98,204				14,036				94,557				(11,103	)
US$			14,186				2,028				13,659				(1,604	)

A 10% strengthening of the following major currencies against the functional currency of each of the Company’s entities at the reporting date would increase profit before tax by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

		2024				2025				2025
		RMB				RMB				US$
		(in thousands)
Singapore dollar			12,601				9,820				1,419
Euro			769				1,404				203

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

A.Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President, who is our principal executive officer, and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only a reasonable level of assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and, in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on such evaluation, our management has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

B.Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting refers to a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our President and Chief Financial Officer and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

•pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

•provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards;

•provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with our management’s and/or our Board of Directors’ authorization; and

•provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper overrides. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process, and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate this risk.

ITEM 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

As our common stock is listed on the NYSE, we are subject to the NYSE listing standards. The NYSE listing standards applicable to us, as a foreign private issuer, are considerably different from those applicable to U.S. companies. Under the NYSE rules, we need only (i) establish an independent audit committee; (ii) provide prompt certification by our chief executive officer of any material non-compliance with any corporate governance rules of the NYSE; (iii) provide periodic (annual and interim) written affirmations to the NYSE with respect to our corporate governance practices; and (iv) provide a brief description of significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those followed by U.S. companies. Our Audit Committee consists of three independent non-executive directors, namely Messrs. Xie Tao (Chairman), Neo Poh Kiat and Wong Hong Wai. Each of Messrs. Xie Tao, Neo Poh Kiat and Wong Hong Wai satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act.

ITEM 16K. CYBERSECURITY

Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy

We are a holding company and the majority of business is done at our main subsidiary, Yuchai. As a holding company, our objective is to coordinate the policy and administration of our subsidiary companies. We pursue this objective by adopting complementary bottom-up and top-down approaches to cybersecurity risk management.

As the main operating subsidiary of the Company, Yuchai has developed and implemented a series of internal policies (collectively, the “Cybersecurity Risk Management Policies”) that are intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information. Yuchai’s cybersecurity risk management program includes a cybersecurity incident response plan. Risk monitoring across the Yuchai group is conducted by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yuchai that focuses on information technology security and management.

Yuchai designs and assesses its Cybersecurity Risk Management Policies in accordance with PRC laws, rules and regulations, including the Cyber Security Law and the Data Security Law. This does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications, or requirements, only that we use these cybersecurity-related laws, rules and regulations as a guide to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business.

Yuchai’s Cybersecurity Risk Management Policies include:

•risk assessments designed to help identify material cybersecurity risks to our critical systems, information, products, services, and our broader enterprise IT environment;

•a security team principally responsible for managing our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, our security controls, and our response to cybersecurity incidents;

•the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security controls, subject to our oversight and monitoring of the risks associated with using these external service providers;

•cybersecurity awareness training of our employees, incident response personnel, and senior management; and

•a cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents.

89

Table of Contents

In terms of our top-down approach to cybersecurity risk management, our controlling shareholder, Hong Leong Asia (as defined herein) provides support to our Company for our own cybersecurity risk evaluation and management.

We have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.

Cybersecurity Governance

Currently, our Audit Committee oversees Yuchai’s cybersecurity risk management. Our management updates the Audit Committee, as necessary, regarding any material cybersecurity incidents, as well as any incidents with lesser impact potential. If it deems necessary, the Audit Committee will report to the full Board regarding the significant cybersecurity-related issues.

Our management team, including the President and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. The President and Chief Financial Officer, travel frequently for as much as up to two weeks at a time, to Yuchai to actively participate in Yuchai’s operations and facilitate communications. Our management team has primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity risk management program and supervises both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity consultants. Our management team oversees Yuchai management’s efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which may include briefings from internal security personnel; threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us; and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in the IT environment.

In the future, we plan to evaluate the integration of Yuchai’s cybersecurity risk management program into our overall enterprise risk management program.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of China Yuchai International Limited

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of China Yuchai International Limited (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by International Accounting Standards Board.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated April 29, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Capitalization of development costs

Description of the Matter

The Group engages in research and development activities to improve existing engine products and develop new engine products and related technologies (the “Development Projects”). The Group recognized related development costs as an intangible asset when the Development Projects met the capitalization criteria as stated in Note 2.5 (h) to the consolidated financial statements. This included RMB 174.3 million (US$25.2 million) capitalized during the year, as disclosed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements. Auditing management’s recognition of capitalized development costs was complex because the capitalization of development costs requires the application of management judgment to determine, amongst others, what continues to constitute development activities and when a Development Project should cease further capitalization of development costs. Management judgment is also required to ascertain the nature of expenses that qualify for capitalization.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested controls over the authorization, approval and recording of expenses and controls over monitoring of the status of the on-going Development Projects. Our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating management’s judgment related to the determination of the research and development phases, and the determination of which development costs can be capitalized by conducting inquiries of the engineers in the Research and Development (“R&D”) department to understand the progress of the Development Projects. In addition, for a sample of Development Projects, we evaluated the status of each project, and the costs capitalized by comparing the supporting documents to the Company’s capitalization criteria. We evaluated management’s assessment that the Development Projects continued to be in-progress by inspecting the testers’ feedback and responses from the R&D department on a sample basis.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of China Yuchai International Limited

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited China Yuchai International Limited’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the “COSO criteria”). In our opinion, China Yuchai International Limited (the “Company”) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated statements of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and our report dated April 29, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

2.3.Standards issued but not yet effective

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, which replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements for presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals. Furthermore, entities are required to classify all income and expenses within the statement of profit or loss into one of five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations, whereof the first three are new.

It also requires disclosure of newly defined management-defined performance measures, subtotals of income and expenses, and includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information based on the identified ‘roles’ of the primary financial statements (PFS) and the notes.

In addition, narrow-scope amendments have been made to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows, which include changing the starting point for determining cash flows from operations under the indirect method, from ‘profit or loss’ to ‘operating profit or loss’ and removing the optionality around classification of cash flows from dividends and interest. In addition, there are consequential amendments to several other standards.

IFRS 18, and the amendments to the other standards, is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, but earlier application is permitted and must be disclosed. IFRS 18 will apply retrospectively.

The Group is currently working to identify all impacts the amendments will have on the primary financial statements and notes to the financial statements.

IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures

In May 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 19, which allows eligible entities to elect to apply its reduced disclosure requirements while still applying the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards. To be eligible, at the end of the reporting period, an entity must be a subsidiary as defined in IFRS 10, cannot have public accountability and must have a parent (ultimate or intermediate) that prepares consolidated financial statements, available for public use, which comply with IFRS Accounting Standards.

IFRS 19 will become effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early application permitted.

As the Group’s equity instruments are publicly traded, it is not eligible to elect to apply IFRS 19.

Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments - Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7

In May 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7), which:

•A clarification that a financial liability is derecognized on the ‘settlement date’ and the introduction of an accounting policy choice (if specific conditions are met) to derecognize financial liabilities settled using an electronic payment system before the settlement date

•Additional guidance on how the contractual cash flows for financial assets with environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) and similar features should be assessed

•Clarifications on what constitute ‘non-recourse features’ and what are the characteristics of contractually linked instruments

•The introduction of disclosures for financial instruments with contingent features and additional disclosure requirements for equity instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI)

The Amendments are effective for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2026 with early adoption permitted for classification of financial assets and related disclosures only. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity – Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7

In December 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity. The amendments apply only to contracts that reference nature-dependent electricity; the amendments:

•Clarify the application of the ‘own-use’ requirements for in-scope contracts

•Amend the designation requirements for a hedged item in a cash flow hedging relationship for in-scope contracts

•Add new disclosure requirements to enable investors to understand the effect of these contracts on a company’s financial performance and cash flows

The amendments will take effect for annual reporting periods starting on or after January 1, 2026. Early adoption is allowed, but it must be disclosed. The amendments concerning the own-use exception are to be applied retrospectively, while the hedge accounting amendments should be applied prospectively to new hedging relationships designated from the initial application date.

IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards	Hedge Accounting by a First-time Adopter
	•Paragraphs B5 and B6 of IFRS 1 have been amended to include cross references to the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting in paragraph 6.4.1(a), (b) and (c) of IFRS 9. These amendments are intended to address potential confusion arising from an inconsistency between the wording in IFRS 1 and the requirements for hedge accounting in IFRS 9. •An entity applies the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Earlier application is permitted.
IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures	Gain or Loss on Derecognition
	•The amendments update the language on unobservable inputs in paragraph B38 of IFRS 7 and include a cross reference to paragraphs 72 and 73 of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. •An entity applies the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Earlier application is permitted.
Guidance on implementing IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures	Introduction
	•The amendments to paragraph IG1 of the Guidance on implementing IFRS 7 clarify that the guidance does not necessarily illustrate all the requirements in the referenced paragraphs of IFRS 7, nor does it create additional requirements.
	Disclosure of Deferred Difference between Fair Value and Transaction Price
	•Paragraph IG14 of the Guidance on implementing IFRS 7 has been amended mainly to make the wording consistent with the requirements in paragraph 28 of IFRS 7 and with the concepts and terminology used in IFRS 9 and IFRS 13.

Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards — Volume 11 (cont’d)

The following is a summary of the amendments from the Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards—Volume 11(cont’d):

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments	Lessee Derecognition of Lease Liabilities
	•Paragraph 2.1 of IFRS 9 has been amended to clarify that, when a lessee has determined that a lease liability has been extinguished in accordance with IFRS 9, the lessee is required to apply paragraph 3.3.3 and recognize any resulting gain or loss in profit or loss. However, the amendment does not address how a lessee distinguishes between a lease modification as defined in IFRS 16 and an extinguishment of a lease liability in accordance with IFRS 9. •An entity applies the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Earlier application is permitted.
	Transaction Price
	•Paragraph 5.1.3 of IFRS 9 has been amended to replace the reference to ‘transaction price’ as defined by IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ with ‘the amount determined by applying IFRS 15’. The use of the term ‘transaction price’ in relation to IFRS 15 was potentially confusing and so it has been removed. The term was also deleted from Appendix A of IFRS 9. •An entity applies the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Earlier application is permitted.
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements	Determination of a ‘De Facto Agent’
	•Paragraph B74 of IFRS 10 has been amended to clarify that the relationship described in paragraph B74 is just one example of various relationships that might exist between the investor and other parties acting as de facto agents of the investor. The amendments are intended to remove the inconsistency with the requirement in paragraph B73 for an entity to use judgement to determine whether other parties are acting as de facto agents •An entity applies the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Earlier application is permitted.
IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows	Cost Method
	•Paragraph 37 of IAS 7 has been amended to replace the term ‘cost method’ with ‘at cost’, following the prior deletion of the definition of ‘cost method’. •An entity applies the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Earlier application is permitted.

The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

2.4.Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of the reporting period. The financial statements of the subsidiaries used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prepared for the same reporting date as the Company. Consistent accounting policies are applied to like transactions and events in similar circumstances.

All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealized gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated in full.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

Losses within a subsidiary are attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:

•derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary at their carrying amounts at the date when control is lost;

•derecognizes the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest;

•derecognizes the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity;

•recognizes the fair value of the consideration received;

•recognizes the fair value of any investment retained;

•recognizes any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and

•reclassifies the Group’s share of components previously recognized in other comprehensive income to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate.

2.5.Summary of material accounting policies

(a)Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for applying acquisition method. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combination are measured initially at their fair value at the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs are recognized as expenses in periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, is measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in the statement of profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9.

In business combinations achieved in stages, previously held equity interests in the acquiree are re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date and any corresponding gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

2.5.Summary of material accounting policies (cont’d)

(a)Business combinations (cont’d)

Any excess of the sum of the fair value of the consideration transferred in the business combination, the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree (if any), and the fair value of the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), over the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The accounting policy for goodwill is set out in Section (h) Intangible assets. In instances where the latter amount exceeds the former, the excess is recognized as gain on bargain purchase in profit or loss on the acquisition date.

Where the Group had granted put option to third party investors (non-controlling interests) for their investments in subsidiaries, the Group recognized a financial liability based on the present value of the amount payable upon exercise of the put. A corresponding amount to equity attributable to the parent (capital reserves) will be recognized.

(b)Investments in associates and joint ventures

When the Group assesses for significant influence or joint control, the Group makes considerations which are similar to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries. The Group’s investments in its associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.

Under the equity method, the investment in associates or joint ventures are carried in the balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associates or joint ventures. The profit or loss reflects the share of results of the operations of the associates or joint ventures. Distributions received from associates or joint ventures reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Where there has been a change recognized in other comprehensive income by the associates or joint ventures, the Group recognizes its share of such changes in other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and associates or joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associates or joint ventures.

When the Group’s share of losses in an associate or joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the associate or joint venture, the Group does not recognize further losses as it has not incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture.

The aggregate of the Group’s share of results of associates or joint ventures is shown on the face of the statement of profit or loss outside operating profit.

The financial statements of the associates and joint ventures are prepared at the same reporting date as the Group. Where necessary, adjustments are made to align with the accounting policies of the Group.

After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognize an impairment loss on its investment in its associates or joint ventures. At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the associate or joint venture is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate or joint venture and its carrying value, then recognizes the loss within “Share of results of associate, net of tax” and “Share of results of joint ventures, net of tax” in the statement of profit or loss.

(c)Foreign currency translation

The Company’s functional currency is US Dollar. The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi, which is also the functional currency of Yuchai, the largest operating segment of the Group.

Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency, and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are measured in the respective functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries and are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currencies at exchange rates approximating those ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was measured.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at the end of the reporting period are recognized in profit or loss.

Consolidated financial statements

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into RMB at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of profit or loss are translated at average exchange rates during the reporting period. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognized in OCI. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of OCI relating to that particular foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss.

(d)Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Group has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements because it typically controls the goods or services before transferring them to the customer.

The disclosures of significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions relating to revenue from contracts with customers are provided in Note 3.

Sale of engines

Revenue from sale of engines is recognized at the point in time when control of the engine is transferred to the customer and all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied, generally on delivery of the engines, or, in some cases, when the engines are installed by the customers.

The Group considers whether there are other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated (e.g. warranties). In determining the transaction price for the sale of engines, the Group considers the effects of variable consideration and the existence of significant financing components.

(d)Revenue from Contracts with Customers (cont’d)

Sale of engines (cont’d)

(i) Variable consideration

If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, the Group estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception. Some contracts for the sale of engines provide customers with sales rebates based on the sales volume. The sales rebates give rise to variable consideration.

Sales rebates

The Group enters into contractual arrangements to provide certain customers with sales rebates when the quantity of products purchased during the period exceeds a threshold specified in the contract. Based on contractual arrangement with the customers, the sales rebates are netted against “Trade receivables”. If the receivables had been settled by the customers, amounts in excess of “Trade receivables” will be recognized as refund liabilities in “Trade and other payables”.

Sales Returns

The Group does not extend its sales returns policy to all customers. However, the Group allows for certain returns, only on a case-by-case basis. The Group uses the expected value method to estimate the provision for such returns based on the management estimates with reference to historical return rates and account for it as a reduction in revenue and form part of refund liability that is recognized in “Trade and other payables” (Note 23). A corresponding right of return assets is recognized in “Trade and other receivables” (Note 15).

(ii) Significant financing component

The Group receives advance payments from customers for the sale of engines. The Group applies the practical expedient for short-term advances received from customers. That is, the promised amount of consideration is not adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component if the period between the transfer of the promised good or service and the payment is one year or less.

Warranty obligations

The Group typically provides warranties for general repairs of defects as part of the sale of engines. These assurance-type warranties are accounted for as warranty provisions. Refer to the accounting policy on warranty provisions in Section (m) Provisions.

Certain contracts provide a customer with maintenance service, i.e. a distinct service to the customer in addition to the assurance that the product complies with agreed-upon specification. These service-type warranties are bundled together with the sale of engines. These contracts comprise two performance obligations, i.e. the promises to transfer the engines and to provide the service-type warranty. The transaction price is allocated to the service-type warranty and engines using a combination of residual and observable price approach. The portion of transaction price allocated to the service-type warranty is initially recorded as a contract liability and recognized as revenue at the point in time when the service is provided.

(d)Revenue from Contracts with Customers (cont’d)

Principal versus agent

When another party is involved in providing products to a customer, the Group determines whether the nature of its promise is a performance obligation to provide the products itself (i.e. the Group is a principal) or to arrange for those products to be provided by the other party (i.e. the Group is an agent).

The Group is a principal if it controls the product before the product is transferred to a customer.

The Group is an agent if its performance obligation is to arrange for the provision of the product by another party. In this case, the Group is not the primary obligor and is not subject to inventory risk. The Group does not control the products provided by another party before the products are transferred to the customer. When the Group acts as an agent, it recognizes revenue in the amount of any fee or commission to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for arranging for the specified products to be provided by the other party.

Rendering of services

Revenue from rendering services relates to project management contracts, and hotel room and restaurant operations. Revenue is recognized over the period in which the services are rendered, by reference to completion of the specific transaction assessed on the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be performed.

Contract balances

Trade receivables

A receivable is recognized if an amount of consideration that is unconditional is due from the customer (i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in Section (i) Financial instruments.

Capitalized contract costs

The capitalized costs are costs which have been capitalized and directly related to the contracts, for which resources were used in satisfying the contract and are expected to be recovered.

The Group’s capitalized contract costs are costs in fulfilling a contract for the development of technology know-how for heavy-duty engines platforms for a joint venture company of Group, and subsequently recognized in profit or loss when the Group performs the contract and the related revenue is recognized.

Contract liabilities

A contract liability is recognized if a payment is received or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from a customer before the Group transfers the related goods or services. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Group performs under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the related goods or services to the customer).

Right of return assets

A right-of-return asset is recognized for the right to recover the goods expected to be returned by customers. The asset is measured at the former carrying amount of the inventory, less any expected costs to recover the goods and any potential decreases in value. The Group updates the measurement of the asset for any revisions to the expected level of returns and any additional decreases in the value of the returned products.

(d)Revenue from Contracts with Customers (cont’d)

Refund liabilities

A refund liability is recognized for the obligation to refund some or all of the consideration received (or receivable) from a customer. The Group’s refund liabilities arise from customers’ right of return and sales rebates. Based on contractual arrangement with the customers, sales rebates are netted against “Trade receivables”. If the receivables had been settled by the customers, amounts in excess of “Trade receivables” will be recognized as refund liabilities.

Refund liabilities arising from contractual sales returns is measured at the amount the Group ultimately expects it will have to return to the customer. The Group updates its estimates of refund liabilities arising from sales returns at the end of each reporting period.

(e)Government grants

Government grants are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.

The Group’s government grants were mainly to support and fund production facilities and research and development activities for product innovations and developments of engines. As at December 31, 2025, certain government grants earned by the Group are subject to certain conditions set out in the grants agreements. Management expects the conditions to be fulfilled.

(f)Taxes

Current income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income.

(f)Taxes (cont’d)

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

•When the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

•In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized, except:

•When the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

•In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current income tax assets against income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxation authority.

Sales tax

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of sales tax, except:

•When the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case, the sales tax is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item, as applicable

•When receivables and payables are stated with the amount of sales tax included

The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

(f)Taxes (cont’d)

Global minimum top-up tax

The global minimum top-up tax – which it is required to pay under Pillar Two legislation – is an income tax in the scope of IAS 12. The Group has applied a mandatory temporary relief from deferred tax accounting for the impacts of the top-up tax and accounts for it as a current tax when it is incurred.

(g)Property, plant and equipment

All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

The cost includes the cost of replacing part of the property, plant and equipment and costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying property, plant and equipment. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, the Group recognizes such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation, respectively. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Freehold land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated. Asset under construction-in-progress are stated at cost, net of accumulated impairment, and not depreciated as these assets are not yet ready for intended use. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:

Buildings and improvements on freehold land	:	50 years
Leasehold buildings and improvements	:	50 years or period of lease, whichever is shorter
Plant and machinery	:	2 to 20 years
Office furniture, fittings and equipment	:	2 to 20 years
Motor and transport vehicles	:	4 to 11 years

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on derecognition of the asset is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognized.

(h)Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the statement of profit or loss in the expense category that is consistent with the function of the intangible assets.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives or not yet available for use are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

Any gain or loss arising upon de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

Goodwill

Goodwill is initially measured at cost. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

The cash-generating units to which goodwill have been allocated is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that the cash-generating unit may be impaired. The impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized for goodwill are not reversed in subsequent periods.

Research and development costs

Research costs are expensed as incurred.

Development costs arising from development expenditures on an individual project are recognized as an intangible asset when the Group can demonstrate:

•The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that the asset will be available for use or sale

•Its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset

•How the asset will generate future economic benefits

•The availability of resources to complete the asset

•The ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development

Following initial recognition of the development costs as an intangible asset, it is carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization of the asset begins when development is completed and the asset is available for use. Development costs are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the period of expected pattern of future benefits embodied in the development. During the period of development, the asset is tested for impairment annually.

A summary of the policies applied to the Group’s intangible assets is as follows:

		Trademarks		Technology know-how		Development costs
Useful lives		Indefinite		4 -10 years		*
Amortization method used		No amortization		Amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of the technology know-how		*
Internally generated or acquired		Acquired		Internally generated		Internally generated

* Development costs relate to on-going development projects that have not been completed and are not available for use.

(i)Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are recognized when, and only when the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.

Trade receivables are measured at the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third party, if the trade receivables do not contain a significant financing component at initial recognition.

Subsequent measurement

Investment in debt instruments

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the asset. The measurement category for classification of debt instruments is:

Amortized cost

Financial assets that are held for the collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the assets are derecognized or impaired, and through amortization process.

Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”)

Financial assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Financial assets measured at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Any gains and losses arising from interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or reversals are recognized in the statement of profit or loss and computed in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortized cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognized in OCI. Upon de-recognition, the cumulative fair value change recognized in OCI is recycled to profit or loss.

The Group’s debt instruments at fair value through OCI includes certain bills receivable that are not held to maturity.

Derecognition

A financial asset is derecognized where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss.

2.5.Summary of material accounting policies (cont’d)

(i)Financial instruments (cont’d)

Impairment

The Group recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (“ECLs”) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

ECLs are recognized in two stages. For credit exposure for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12 months (a “12-month ECL”). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognized for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure irrespective of timing of the default (a “lifetime ECL”).

For trade receivable, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.

For bills receivable that are held for maturity, the Group assess the credit risk of the financial institutions, which issue the bills, at every reporting date. The Group evaluates whether the bills are considered to have low credit risk using all reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering contractual cash flow.

For more information, refer to Note 15.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are recognized when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Group determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value plus in the case of financial liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

Subsequent measurement

Amortized cost

This is the category most relevant to the Group. After initial recognition, financial liabilities that are not carried at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized, and through the amortization process.

Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.

This category generally applies to loans and borrowings, other liabilities and payables. For more information, refer to Note 23, 27 and 29.

2.5.Summary of material accounting policies (cont’d)

(i)Financial instruments (cont’d)

De-recognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

(j)Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:

•Raw materials: purchase cost on a weighted average basis

•Finished goods and work in progress: cost of direct materials and labor and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on the normal operating capacity, but excluding borrowing costs

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(k)Impairment of non-financial assets

Further disclosures relating to impairment of non-financial assets are also provided in the following notes:

•Disclosures for significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (Note 3)

•Investment in joint ventures (Note 6)

•Property, plant and equipment (Note 11)

•Intangible assets (Note 13)

The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.

The Group bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Group’s CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of five to ten years. For goodwill and trademark impairment review, a long-term growth rate is considered and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year where appropriate. Impairment losses are recognized in the statement of profit or loss in expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

2.5.Summary of material accounting policies (cont’d)

(k)Impairment of non-financial assets (cont’d)

A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the statement of profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized on goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not reversed in subsequent reporting periods.

(l)Cash and short-term deposits

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand, short-term highly liquid deposits with a maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash and short-term deposits at banks are placed with reputable financial institutions with high credit ratings and no history of default.

(m)Provisions

General

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

Product warranty

The Group recognizes a liability at the time the product is sold, for the estimated future costs relating to the assurance-type warranties, to be incurred under the lower of a warranty period or warranty mileage on various engine models, on which the Group provides free repair and replacement. Provisions for warranty are primarily determined based on historical warranty cost per unit of engines sold adjusted for specific conditions that may arise and the number of engines under warranty at each financial year. If the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claims change, the accrued liability for product warranty will be adjusted accordingly.

(n)Employment benefits

Defined contribution plans

The Group participates in and makes contributions to the national employee benefit scheme as defined by the laws of the countries in which it has operations. The contributions are at a fixed proportion of the basic salary of the staff. Contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are recognized as an expense in the period in which the related services are performed.

Short-term benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.

A provision is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonuses if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

2.5.Summary of material accounting policies (cont’d)

(o)Share-based payments

Employees (including senior executives) of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (“equity-settled transactions”).

Equity-settled transactions

The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model, further details of which are given in Note 22.

That cost is recognized in “Staff costs”, together with a corresponding increase in performance share reserve in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period). The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the statement of profit or loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as of the beginning and end of that period.

No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest.

When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense had the terms not been modified, provided the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense, measured as of the date of modification, is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee. Where an award is cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining element of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately through profit or loss.

(p)Treasury shares

When shares are reacquired by the Company, the amount of consideration paid which includes directly attributable costs, net of any tax effect, is recognized directly in equity. Reacquired shares are classified as treasury shares and presented as a deduction from total equity. When treasury shares are subsequently sold or reissued pursuant to equity compensation plans, the cost of treasury shares is reversed from the treasury share account and the realized gain or loss on sale or reissue, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs, is recognized in the capital reserve. Voting rights related to treasury shares are nullified for the Group and no dividends are allocated to them respectively.

(q)Leases

The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Group as a lessee

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

(i) Right-of-use assets

The Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

Leasehold land	:	3 to 50 years
Building and office space	:	1 to 20 years
Office furniture, fittings and equipment	:	5 years
Motor vehicles	:	12 years

If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.

The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to accounting policies of financial assets in Section (k) Impairment of non-financial assets.

(ii) Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

(iii) Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(q)Leases (cont’d)

Group as a lessor

Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included in other income in the income statement. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognized as income in the period in which they are earned.

3.Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of each reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

Other disclosures relating to the Group’s exposure to risks and uncertainties includes:

•Capital management (Note 34)

•Financial risk management objectives and policies (Note 33)

•Sensitivity analyses disclosures (Note 13 and 33)

3.1.Judgments

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving estimates, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Group applied the following judgments that significantly affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers:

•Identifying contract price and performance obligations in sales of engines

The Group provides certain warranties for both general repairs and maintenance service as part of the sales of engines. For general repairs, such warranties will be assurance-type warranty that is accounted for under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. For maintenance services, it is accounted for as a service-type warranty which are capable of being distinct and customers can benefit from the service on its own. Hence, the Group identify two separate performance obligation, one is the promise to transfer the engine and the other one is to provide maintenance services after reaching certain on-road mileage or running hours. Consequently, the Group allocate a portion of the transaction price to the engines and the maintenance services based on a combination of residual and observable price approach. Please refer to Note 7.3.

Derecognition of bills receivable

The Group sells bill receivable to banks on an ongoing basis depending on funding needs and money market conditions. The Group also endorses certain bills to suppliers for debts settlement. Chinese law governing bills allows recourse to be traced to all the parties in the discounting and endorsing process. Management assesses the credit rating of banks that issued these bills based on the credit rating given by the China regulators. For designated commercial banks with high credit rating and where Management believes that the contractual right to receive the cash from the Group has ceased, and has been transferred to the banks and suppliers, these bills are derecognized. The discount equal to the difference between the carrying value of the bill receivable and cash received from the banks is recorded in the statement of profit or loss. Please refer to Note 15.

3.Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions (cont’d)

3.1.Judgments (cont’d)

Capitalization of development costs

Development costs are capitalized in accordance with the accounting policy in Note 2.5 (h). Capitalization of development costs requires the application of management judgment to determine, what continues to constitute development activities, when a development project move from research phase into development phase, and when should cease further capitalization of development costs. Management judgment is also required to ascertain the nature of expenses that qualify for capitalization. Please refer to Note 13.

3.2.Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of reporting period, are described below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model. The cash flows are derived from the forecasts for the next five to ten years and do not include restructuring activities that the Group is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the CGU being tested. The Group, based on its history of operations, believes that the adoption of forecast for more than five years is reasonable. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. These estimates are most relevant to goodwill, development costs and trademarks recognized by the Group. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the different CGUs and assets, including a sensitivity analysis, are disclosed and further explained in Note 13.

4.Investments in subsidiaries

Significant restrictions

The nature and extent of significant restrictions on the Group’s ability to use or access assets and settle liabilities of subsidiaries with material non-controlling interests are:

At the end of the reporting period, cash and cash equivalents of RMB 7.0 billion (US$1.0 billion) (2024: RMB 5.5 billion) held in the PRC are subject to local exchange control regulations. These regulations place restriction on the amount of currency being exported other than through dividends, trade and service-related transactions.

Dilution of ownership in subsidiary, without loss of control

In June 2024, Yuchai’s shareholders approved the implementation of Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Company Limited Equity Holding Scheme (the “Yuchai Equity Scheme”) and Guangxi Yuchai Marine and Genset Power Co., Ltd Incentive Scheme (the "MGP Incentive Scheme”) (collectively, the “Two Schemes”). Pursuant to Two Schemes, MGP issued additional shares and received contribution of RMB 82.9 million. As a result, the Group’s effective equity interest in MGP decreased from 76.4% to 71.4%.

In March 2025, Yuchai’s shareholders approved the implementation of Guangxi SKY Cloud Technology Co., Ltd. Equity Incentive Plan (the “Sky Cloud Equity Plan”). Pursuant to Sky Cloud Equity Plan, Sky Cloud issued additional shares and received contribution of RMB 1.1 million (US$0.2 million). As a result, the Group’s effective equity interest in Sky Cloud decreased from 76.4% to 62.8%.

9.Income tax expense (cont’d)

Deferred tax (cont’d)

The Corporate Income Tax (“CIT”) law provides for a tax of 10% to be withheld from dividends paid to foreign investors of PRC enterprises. This withholding tax provision does not apply to dividends paid out of profit earned prior to January 1, 2008. Beginning on January 1, 2008, a 10% withholding tax is imposed on dividends paid to the Company, as a non-resident enterprise, unless an applicable tax treaty provides for a lower tax rate. The Company recognizes a deferred tax liability for withholding tax payable for profits accumulated after December 31, 2007 for the earnings that the Company does not plan to indefinitely reinvest in the PRC enterprises. As of December 31, 2025, the deferred tax liability for withholding tax payable was RMB 78.8 million (US$11.4 million) (2024: RMB 64.7 million). The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability relating to undistributed earnings of the PRC enterprises is estimated to be RMB 187.8 million (US$27.1 million) (2024: RMB 227.2 million).

Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of the following items:

		31.12.2024				31.12.2025				31.12.2025
		RMB’000				RMB’000				US$’000
Unutilized tax losses			1,681,991				2,051,294				296,310
Unutilized capital allowances and investment allowances			95,697				95,158				13,746
Other unrecognized temporary differences			166,552				786,265				113,576
			1,944,240				2,932,717				423,632

Unrecognized tax losses for the Group are subject to agreement with the tax authorities and compliance with tax regulations in the respective countries in which the Group operates. The unutilized tax losses for PRC subsidiaries and Malaysia subsidiaries expire within the next 5 to 10 years and 10 years, respectively. These losses may not be used to offset taxable income elsewhere in the Group. Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of these items because it is not probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the Group can utilize the benefits.

10.Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

Basic earnings per share

The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on:

		31.12.2023				31.12.2024				31.12.2025				31.12.2025
		RMB’000				RMB’000				RMB’000				US$’000
Profit attributable to equity holders of the    Company			285,518				323,055				537,390				77,626
Weighted average number of ordinary shares *			40,858,290				39,325,763				37,518,322				37,518,322

Diluted earnings per share

The weighted average number of ordinary shares adjusted for the effect of unissued ordinary shares under the equity incentive plan of the Company is determined as follows:

		31.12.2023				31.12.2024				31.12.2025
Weighted average number of shares issued, used in the    calculation of basic earnings per share			40,858,290				39,325,763				37,518,322
Diluted effect of share options			—				—				—
Weighted average number of ordinary shares adjusted    for effect of dilution			40,858,290				39,325,763				37,518,322

* The weighted average number of ordinary shares for 2024 and 2025 takes into account the weighted average effect of changes in treasury shares transactions incurred in 2024.

In 2025, 820,000 (2024: Nil; 2023: 270,000) outstanding share options granted to employees under the Company’s equity incentive plan have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they are anti-dilutive.

The Group is not restricted on the realizability of its investment property. The Group is in the process of planning to carry out major refurbishment of the entertainment complex for conversion into additional hotel and function rooms. The revised layout is still pending approval from the relevant authority. The entertainment complex is classified as investment property as it is still held to earn rental income and is being leased to third parties.

Investment property is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated using straight-line method to allocate the depreciable amounts over the estimated useful life of 30 years.

The Group engaged an independent professional qualified valuer to determine the fair value of investment property at the end of each financial year.

The fair value of investment property is determined by the market comparison and cost methods. In valuing the investment property, due consideration is given to factors such as location and size of building, building infrastructure, market knowledge and historical comparable transactions to arrive at their opinion of value.

The following table shows information about fair value measurement of the investment property using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

		Valuation techniques			Unobservable input		Inter-relationship between key unobservable inputs and fair value measurement
2025		Market comparison and cost method		Comparable price: -RMB 71 to RMB 593 (US$10 to US$86) per square foot			The estimated fair value increases with higher comparable price
2024		Market comparison and cost method		Comparable price: -RMB 102 to RMB 570  per square foot			The estimated fair value increases with higher comparable price

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase consideration over fair value of net assets of businesses acquired.

Goodwill acquired through business combinations have been allocated to two cash-generating units for impairment testing as follows:

•Yuchai manufacturing business.

•Yulin Hotel. Goodwill allocated to Yulin Hotel was fully impaired in 2008.

Carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit:

		31.12.2024				31.12.2025				31.12.2025
		RMB’000				RMB’000				US$’000
Yuchai manufacturing business			212,636				212,636				30,715

Yuchai manufacturing business

The Group performs its impairment test annually. The recoverable amount was determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by senior management covering a five-year period. The pre-tax discount rate applied to the cash flow projections was 14.2% (2024: 13.2%) and cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using a 1% growth rate (2024: 1%), a modest long-term growth rate after taking into consideration of industry outlook with management estimation. No impairment was identified for this unit.

Key assumptions used for value in use calculations

Key assumptions used in estimation of value in use were as follows:

•Profit from operation

•Discount rate

Profit from operation – Profit from operation is based on management’s estimate with reference to historical performance and future business outlook of Yuchai manufacturing business.

Discount rate – Discount rate reflects management’s estimate of the risks specific to the cash-generating unit and is estimated based on weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). The WACC takes into account both debt and equity. The cost of equity is derived from the expected return on investment by the Group’s investors. The cost of debt is based on the interest-bearing borrowings the cash-generating unit is obliged to service. This rate is weighted according to the optimal debt/equity structure arrived on the basis of the capitalization structure of the peer group.

Sensitivity to changes in assumptions

The implications of the key assumptions for the recoverable amount are discussed below:

Profit from operation – A decreased demand can lead to a decline in profit from operation. A decrease in demand by 17.5% (2024: 10.3%) would result in impairment.

Discount rate – A rise in pre-tax discount rate to 20.9% (2024: 19.2%) would result in impairment.

With regard to the assessment of value in use of the Yuchai manufacturing business, management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the recoverable amount to materially fall below the carrying value of the unit.

Technology know-how

In 2023 and 2024, management believed that there was no indicator for impairment. Also, having considered that there was no significant change in the market demand and economic environment which will have a favorable effect to the recoverable amount of the intangible asset, management had concluded that no reversal of impairment was necessary in 2023 and 2024.

In 2025, the Group recognized impairment losses of RMB 47.1 million (US$6.8 million) (2024: Nil) in the income statement under the line item “Cost of sales” on technology know‑how relating to on‑road light‑duty engine due to a decline in market demand.

In 2025, the development of certain engine platform relating to National VI and Tier 4 and new energy system were completed, and the related development costs amounting to RMB 297.5 million (US$43.0 million) (2024: RMB 117.6 million) were transferred from development costs to technology know-how, and amortization were charged accordingly based on the Group’s policy.

Development costs

During 2024 and 2025, the Group has capitalized development costs of RMB 204.3 million and RMB 174.3 million (US$25.2 million) respectively, mainly for new engines that comply with National VI/VI(b) and Tier 3/4 emission standards. As of December 31, 2025, the total capitalized development costs are RMB 346.2 million (US$50.0 million) (2024: RMB 539.6 million). These development costs relate to on-going development efforts, and accordingly, are not yet available for use, and therefore no amortization charges were recorded.

The Group performs an annual impairment test on the development costs that are not available for use. In 2025, the Group recognized impairment losses of RMB 70.2 million (US$10.1 million) (2024: RMB 31.1 million; 2023: Nil) in the consolidated statement of profit or loss under “Research and development expenses” in respect of development costs of a discontinued research and development projects.

Development costs (cont’d)

The recoverable amount was determined based on its value in use using the discounted cash flow approach. Cash flows were projected based on historical growth, past experience and management best estimation of future business outlook. In 2025, the Group used 5-8 years (2024: 5-8 years) forecast which were based on the updated financial budgets approved by the senior management with no terminal value. Apart from the discontinued R&D projects, there is no impairment charge in relation to the other on-going R&D developments.

Key assumptions used in estimation of value in use were as follows:

•Profit from operation – Profit from operation is based on management’s estimate with reference to historical revenue generated, growth rate and estimation of future business outlook. In 2025, Management's view on revenue growth year-on-year from 2026 to 2030 took into consideration of industry outlook and global economy. Management expected a continued growth in new energy products in the market according to industry trends.

•Discount rate – Discount rate reflects management’s estimate of the risks specific to the cash-generating unit and is estimated based on weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). The WACC takes into account both debt and equity. The cost of equity is derived from the expected return on investment by the Group’s investors. The cost of debt is based on the interest-bearing borrowings the cash-generating unit is obliged to service. This rate is weighted according to the optimal debt/equity structure arrived on the basis of the capitalization structure of the peer group. The Group has applied a pre-tax discount rate of 15.2% (2024: 15.0%).

Sensitivity to changes in assumptions

The implications of the key assumptions for the recoverable amount are discussed below:

Profit from operation – A decreased demand can lead to a decline in profit from operation. A decrease in demand by 15.5% (2024: 27.5%) would result in impairment.

Discount rate – A rise in pre-tax discount rate to 22.7% (2024: 20.3%) would result in impairment.

With regard to the assessment of value in use, management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cause the recoverable amount to materially fall below the carrying value.

Trademarks

In 2019, Yuchai entered into a trademark license agreement with GY under which Yuchai was granted the exclusive and perpetual use of the trademarks listed in the trademark license agreement for a one-time usage fee of RMB 169.8 million.

Management has assessed and concluded that the right granted by the trademark license, according to the terms and conditions of the trademark license agreement, is indefinite.

In 2024 and 2025, the Group performed an annual impairment review by taking Yuchai as a cash–generating unit. Using the same cash flow projection and assumptions for goodwill impairment test disclosed above, management concluded that no impairment charge is to be recognized in 2024 and 2025.

The fair value of services received in return for share options granted are measured by reference to the fair value of share options granted. The estimate of the fair value of the services received is measured based on the Black-Scholes model. The expected life used in the model has been adjusted, based on management’s best estimate, for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioral considerations.

Fair value of share options and assumptions

Date of grant of options		On August 9, 2025		On December 2, 2025
Fair value at measurement date (US$)		11.91 - 12.65		13.91 - 15.02
Share price (US$)		26.03		35.36
Exercise price (US$)		26.03		35.36
Expected volatility (%)		46.20 - 52.77		48.24 - 55.12
Expected option life (years)		3.5 – 5.5		3.5 – 5.5
Expected dividends (%)		1.68 - 1.79		1.39 - 1.47
Risk-free interest rate (%)		3.45 - 3.52		3.33 - 3.42

The exercise price for the share options outstanding as of December 31, 2025 was US$26.03 dollar for first grant and US$35.36 dollar for the second grant.

The weighted average remaining contractual life for the share options outstanding as of December 31, 2025 was 9.7 years.

The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility over a period similar to the life of the options is indicative of future trends, which may not necessarily be the actual outcome.

There are no market conditions associated with the share options granted. Service conditions and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account in the measurement of the fair value of the service to be received at the grant date.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

33.Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s principal financial liabilities comprise loans and borrowings, trade and other payables and other financial liability arising from a put option to a non-controlling interest. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Group’s operations. The Group has trade and other receivables, and cash and bank deposits that derive directly from its operations.

The Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s senior management oversees the management of these risks. There has been no change to the Group’s exposure to these financial risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risks.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk.

The sensitivity analyses in the following sections relate to the position as of December 31, 2024 and 2025.

The sensitivity analyses have been prepared on the basis that the amount of net debt, the ratio of fixed to floating interest rates of the debt and the proportion of financial instruments in foreign currencies are all constant at December 31, 2025.

The analyses exclude the impact of movements in market variables on provisions and on the non-financial assets and liabilities of foreign operations.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates to the Group’s interest-bearing loans and borrowings from banks. The interest-bearing loans and borrowings of the Group are disclosed in Note 27.

The Group manages its interest rate risk by having a mixture of fixed and variable rates for its loans and borrowings.

Interest rate sensitivity

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for interest-bearing loans and borrowings at the end of the reporting period and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the year and held constant throughout the reporting period in the case of instruments that have floating rates. A 50 basis points increase or decrease is used and represents management’s assessment of the possible change in interest rates.

If interest rate had been 50 (2024: 50) basis points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the profit before tax for the year ended December 31, 2025 of the Group would decrease/increase by RMB 10.1 million (US$1.5 million) (2024: decrease/increase by RMB 12.5 million) arising from interest expenses on interest-bearing loans and borrowings.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Group’s exposure to this risk relates primarily to the cash and bank balances, purchases and sales that are denominated in currencies other than the respective functional currencies of the entities within the Group. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily the Singapore Dollar, US Dollar and Euro.

Foreign currency translation exposure is managed by incurring debt in the operating currency so that where possible operating cash flows can be primarily used to repay obligations in the local currency. This also has the effect of minimizing the exchange differences recorded against income, as the exchange differences on the net investment are recorded directly against equity.

33.Financial risk management objectives and policies (cont’d)

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions.

Trade receivables

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Group’s established policy, procedures and control relating to customer credit risk management. Credit limits are established for all customers based on internal rating criteria.

Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed for all customers requiring credit.

An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix. The provision rates are determined based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments with similar loss patterns (i.e. by profiles of the customers). The calculation reflects the reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Generally, trade receivables are written-off after assessment and are not subject to enforcement activity. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in Note 15. The Group’s share of bills receivables of an associate and a joint venture which was used as collateral as security is disclosed in Note 5 and 6 respectively.

Set out below is the information about the credit risk exposure on the Group’s trade receivables using a provision matrix:

34.Capital management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.

Management reviews the capital structure on an on-going basis, considering the cost of capital, the tenure and the risks associated with each class of capital. Management makes adjustments to capital structure, in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.

In the current year, the Group changed what it manages as capital and considered the capital structure of the Group to consist of net cash and total capital as disclosed in the table below.
