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 2017, the total value of new contracts entered into by the Group amounted to RMB8.312 billion, and contracts that are representative are as follows:

  1. a construction contract entered into with Zhejiang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. * (浙江石油化工有限公司) in relation to the installation of bid section I of its refining and chemical integration project (Phase I) with a capacity of 40,000 kilo tons per annum. The total contract value is approximately RMB1.150 billion;

  2. a contract of engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) entered into with Sinopec Yangzi Petrochemical Company Ltd. * (中國石化揚子石油化工有限公 司) in relation to its EVA unit with a capacity of 100 kilo tons per annum. The total contract value is approximately RMB0.996 billion;

  4. an EPC contract entered into with Thailand IRPC Public Company Limited in relation to the RDCC external heater project. The total contract value is US$23 million (approximately RMB154 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.
