New Contract Value and Backlog

Representative New Contracts

New contract value represents the value of the contracts the Group entered into during a specified period. The value of a contract is the amount that the Group expects to receive under the terms of the contract if the contract is performed in accordance with its terms. During the three months ended 30 September 2020, the total value of new contracts entered into by the Group amounted to RMB11.541 billion, and contracts that are representative are as follows:

1. an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract entered into with Sinopec Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Company (中國石油化工股份有限公司鎮 海煉化分公司) in relation to two sets of 300,000 tons/year polyethylene facilities and a set of 300,000 tons/year polypropylene facilities of the 15,000,000 tons/year refinery and 1,200,000 tons/year ethylene expansion project with a total contract value of approximately RMB1.241 billion;

2. an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract entered into with Ningbo Zhenhai Petrochemical Storage Co., Ltd.* (寧波鎮海石化儲運有限 公司) in relation to the light hydrocarbon base with a total contract value of approximately RMB1.010 billion; and

3. a construction contract entered into with Saudi Aramco in relation to installation work of the gas compression project of Haradh and Hawiyah oil and gas fields in Saudi Arabia with a total contract value of approximately RMB207 million.

Backlog

Backlog represents the total estimated contract value of work that remains to be completed pursuant to outstanding contracts as at a certain date, net of estimated value added tax, and is based on the Group’s assumption that the relevant contracts will be performed in accordance with their terms. Backlog is not a measure defined by generally accepted accounting principles. Any modification, termination or suspension of these contracts by the Group’s clients may have a substantial and immediate effect on the Group’s backlog. Projects may also remain in the Group’s backlog for an extended period of time beyond what was initially anticipated due to various factors beyond the Group’s control.
