INFORMATION OF THE OPERATION RESULTS AND FINANCIAL SITUATION:
In the first quarter of 2025, Sinopharm Accord has achieved a revenue of RMB18.294 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of 4.17%; a net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company of RMB328 million, representing a year-on-year decrease of 15.63%.

The sales revenue from the distribution segment slightly declined, which was mainly due to the impact of factors such as changes in industry policy and intensified market competition. Due to delays in downstream payments, there has been an increase in aged account receivables. As a result, the provision for bad debts has risen year-on-year, contributing to a decline in profits. The retail segment (i.e. "Sinopharm Holding Guoda Drugstore Co., Ltd." ("Guoda Drugstore")) has achieved a revenue of RMB4.983 billion, representing a year-on year decrease of 7.49%, and a net profit of RMB4 million, representing a year-on-year decrease of 94.28%, which was mainly due to the impact of factors such as the market environment, competition pattern and the closure of stores. As of the end of the first quarter of 2025, there were 9,234 stores of Guoda Drugstore in total (including 7,507 directly-operated stores and 1,727 franchised stores).
