Wilson Engineering constantly enhanced its operational and management benefits and created value for customers.
During the Period under Review, the global economy was navigating in a complex, volatile, and challenging environment, characterised by uncertainties such as divergent growth among major economies, persistent inflationary pressures, ongoing geopolitical conflicts, and profound adjustments in the international trade landscape. However, amid a complex landscape, the Chinese economy has demonstrated strong momentum and resilience, with overall stable performance and steady progress in high-quality development. China’s GDP grew 5.3% year on year to RMB66 trillion in the first half of 2025. Domestic consumption showed a marked recovery, while industrial investment saw rapid growth. The government made continuous efforts by introducing a series of precise and effective policies across fiscal, monetary, industrial and other domains, which stimulated domestic demand, promoted industrial upgrading and structural optimisation, injecting a strong impetus into high-quality economic development.
In the first half of 2025, international crude oil prices fluctuated due to geopolitical conflicts, OPEC+ production policy, and changes in global demand. Brent crude futures prices primarily fluctuated within the US$60–75 per barrel range. The decline in international oil prices and the prices of major petrochemicals put the petrochemical industry under huge operating pressure, leading to a general drop in industry profits. With the advances towards the “dual carbon” goals, the petrochemical sector accelerated the elimination of outdated production capacity. Companies stepped up their investments in energy conservation, emission reduction, clean energy, the circular economy and more, promoting the green and low-carbon industrial transition. Concurrently, with the profound adjustment in the domestic economic structure, demand was shifting towards high-end and sophisticated products. The rapid rise of emerging

Systematically Implementing “Three-Pronged Transformation” Strategy to Accelerate International Organisational Capability Building
In the first half of 2025, Wilson Engineering continued to deepen its core human resources strategy of “three-pronged transformation.” Targeting organisational changes and guided by the goal of “attracting, retaining, leveraging, and developing talents,” the Company continued its efforts to shift from a “service-oriented” HR system to a “drive-oriented” one, providing solid talent and organisational support for accelerated transformation and global expansion.
Attaching importance to the “source and utilisation” of talents, the Company systematically promoted global talent acquisition and cultivation. In terms of the source of talents, the Company conducted a joint survey on 13 project regions, including the Middle East and Southeast Asia, 6 international engineering companies in Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea, and 13 key domestic engineering companies. This led to the creation of an international talent pool of approximately 2,000 individuals, including foreign project execution personnel, Chinese overseas management personnel, and key technical experts, providing crucial talent support for international projects. Concurrently, the Company precisely recruited high-level technical experts and foreign-related key personnel to satisfy the needs from strategic businesses like new energy and green hydrogen, as well as the localisation of overseas projects, in order to fill the gaps in critical positions. From the perspective of the utilisation of talents, the Company systematically implemented the “Three Horizontal, Two Vertical” talent development system covering leadership development, project manager training, market awareness training, internal recruitment for mid-level positions, English proficiency enhancement, and cross-cultural communication. It has gradually created a stratified, multi-channel talent growth path and enhanced the project-related organisational capabilities.
As the Company’s business transformation and internationalisation entered a deep-water zone, cross-regional collaboration and cultural integration became increasingly important. To better achieve connectivity and unity within the global organisation, the Company continuously enriches the forms of cultural transmission and implementation. At the headquarters level, it tied municipal-level public welfare organisations with the “Wison environment, social and governance (“ESG”) Action” public welfare activity, enhancing employees’ cultural perception and sense of social responsibility through practical actions. At the regional level, the Company organised cultural symposiums, localised induction training, and cross-cultural exchange activities in key business locations, such as the Middle East. These have enhanced regional teams’ cultural awareness and integration, led to a shift from “passive cultural transmission” to “active cultural co-construction” and continuously stimulated organisational cohesion.
- 12 -
Due to the broadened business boundaries, diversified employee structure, and growing management scenario complexity, higher demands were placed on organisational agility, transparency, and digitalisation. The Company leveraged incentives, care, and digital tools to continuously optimise its management mechanism. As far as incentives and care are concerned, it signed an equity incentive agreement in the first round, fixed positions and staffing and classified job sequences, and built the “position recognition-performance evaluation-promotion” chain, providing a visible growth path for employees. In addition, platforms for mental health counselling and birthday benefits have been established, facilitating the creation of a non-cash care network. In terms of digitalisation, a digital talent mapping system was built internally to create a closed-loop talent management system and a decision support hub. Externally, the Company introduced intelligent tools and launched modules for artificial intelligence (AI) virtual interviews, English proficiency assessment, and value assessment, thereby establishing a three-dimensional selection standard based on “capability + language + culture”.
OUTLOOK
Looking ahead to the second half of 2025, the global economy is expected to continue its slow recovery, but regional divergence will persist. In the PRC, policies to stabilise growth will remain in effect, the structural transformation of the economy will be deepened and domestic demand potential will be further unleashed. Consumption will continue growth momentum, and the investment structure will be continuously optimised. With continuous technological innovation and industrial upgrading, new growth drivers, such as high-end manufacturing, the digital economy, and green energy, will support high-quality economic development. After a period of adjustment, the real estate industry is expected to stabilise at a low level. With policy support and market clearing running in parallel, its drag on the economy will gradually diminish.
Meanwhile, international crude oil prices will be continually influenced by multiple factors, including geopolitical conflicts, adjustments in oil production policies by major oil-producing countries, and expectations on the global energy transition. Such prices are expected to generally remain weak. The pressure on the cost side for chemical products is expected to ease further, which will potentially improve the profitability of the refining and downstream industries. Refineries will continually “reduce the output of oil products and increase the output of chemicals” to improve the yield of chemicals, accelerate the phase-out of inefficient production capacity and optimise regional distribution. Amid the global green transition, the petrochemical industry will quicken its pace to expand into the new energy sector. China will vigorously promote the development of the hydrogen energy industry and release a package of supportive policies to encourage companies to increase R&D investment in hydrogen production, storage, transportation, application, among others. Petrochemical enterprises are
- 13 -
also actively participating in the construction of the hydrogen energy industry chain and utilising their technological and industrial advantages in the chemical sector to develop hydrogen-related businesses.
Despite the complex and volatile external environment, including geopolitical tensions, the continuous promotion of global green transition and the rapid development of low-carbon technologies maintain robust momentum and have not been significantly affected. The transformation of the traditional energy and chemical industry towards sustainable development has largely taken shape. In this context, Wison Engineering is at a critical stage of green and low-carbon transformation and international expansion. It will more resolutely increase strategic investment in the new energy business, actively seek changes, and adhere to technological innovation and value proposition upgrading, committed to building a more powerful green and low-carbon global cooperation ecosystem. Facing the challenges and opportunities presented by the rapidly-changing new energy market, the Company will continuously enhance its capabilities, optimise resource allocation, strengthen international cooperation, pursue innovation-driven development, and strive to become a key force in advancing the global energy transition.
Wison Engineering has always stuck to its vision of becoming a “globally distinguished environmental friendly service provider” and has steadfastly adhered to its new energy strategy. Its goal is not only to achieve its sustainable and sound development but also to provide efficient and environmentally-friendly solutions to global clients, so as to jointly move towards a greener and more sustainable future.

Revenue from the petrochemical business segment increased by 54.9%, primarily due to the Group's overseas petrochemical projects were under principal construction phase. These projects were still in the preliminary phases in the corresponding period of last year.
Revenue from the coal-to-chemicals business segment increased by 648.0%, mainly because the Group's domestic coal-to-chemicals projects entered into principal construction phase in the second half of 2024 and were well-in-progress during the Period.
The projects in oil refineries, public infrastructure, other products and services business segment have been mostly completed. The fluctuation during the Period was mainly because during the Period, the Group adjusted contract settlement amounts for a domestic new materials project with client and certain subcontractors. The revenue and cost were adjusted accordingly.
During the Period, the number of the Group's new energies projects under execution increased, and the recognizable revenue increased accordingly.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
30 June 2025
- CORPORATE INFORMATION
The registered office of the Company is Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, P.O. Box 2681, Grand Cayman, KY1-1111, Cayman Islands.
Wison Engineering Investment Limited (“Wison Investment”) is the immediate holding company of the Company. In the opinion of the directors, Wison Group Holding Limited (“Wison Holding”) is the ultimate holding company of the Company. Wison Holding and Wison Investment are exempted companies with limited liability incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.
The Group is principally engaged in the provision of project solutions to petrochemical and coal-to-chemicals producers in terms of design, construction and commissioning of their production facilities through technology consultancy, engineering, procurement and construction management services in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) and overseas.
2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The interim condensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2025 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim condensed consolidated financial information does not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
2.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial information are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, except for the adoption of the following amended IFRS Accounting Standard for the first time for the current period’s financial information.
Amendments to IAS 21
Lack of Exchangeability
The nature and impact of the amended IFRS Accounting Standard are described below:
Amendments to IAS 21 specify how an entity shall assess whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency and how it shall estimate a spot exchange rate at a measurement date when exchangeability is lacking. The amendments require disclosures of information that enable users of financial statements to understand the impact of a currency not being exchangeable. As the currencies that the Group had transacted with and the functional currencies of group entities for translation into the Group’s presentation currency were exchangeable, the amendments did not have any impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial information.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
The Company has adopted the Corporate Governance Code (the “CG Code”) contained in Part 2 of Appendix C1 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“Listing Rules”) as its own code of corporate governance. The Company has complied with the code provisions of the CG Code set out therein except for code provision C.2.1 of the CG Code throughout the six months ended 30 June 2025.
Pursuant to code provision C.2.1 of the CG Code, the roles of chairman and chief executive should be separated and should not be performed by the same individual. As the duties of chairman and chief executive of the Company are performed by Mr. Zhou Hongliang, the Company has deviated from code provision C.2.1 of the CG Code.
The Board believes that vesting the roles of the chairman and the chief executive in the same person can facilitate the execution of the Group’s business strategies and boost effectiveness of its operation. Therefore, the Board considers that the deviation from code provision C.2.1 of the CG Code is appropriate in such circumstance. In addition, under the supervision of the Board which is comprised of three executive Directors, one non-executive Director and three independent non-executive Directors, the Board is appropriately structured with balance of power to provide sufficient checks to protect the interests of the Company and its shareholders.
COMPLIANCE WITH THE MODEL CODE FOR SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS BY DIRECTORS
The Company has adopted the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers (the “Model Code”) as set out in Appendix C3 to the Listing Rules as the code of conduct regarding securities transactions by Directors. Having made specific enquiry, all Directors confirmed that they have complied with the required standard set out in the Model Code during the Period under Review.
AUDIT COMMITTEE REVIEW
The Company has established an audit committee which is accountable to the Board and the primary duties of which include the review and supervision of the Group’s financial reporting process and internal control measures. For the Period under Review, the audit committee comprised of independent non-executive Directors only, namely, Mr. Lawrence Lee, Mr. Feng Guohua, Mr. Tang Shisheng (retired on 6 June 2025) and Ms. Guo Ruqian (appointed as a member of the audit committee on 27 March 2025). Mr. Lawrence Lee serves as the chairman of the audit committee of the Company, who has the professional qualification and experience in financial matters in compliance with the requirements of the Listing Rules.
The audit committee has reviewed with management the accounting principles and practices adopted by the Group and discussed internal control and financial reporting matters including the review of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group for the Period under Review. They considered that the unaudited interim financial statements of the Group for the Period under Review are in compliance with the relevant accounting standards, rules and regulations and that appropriate disclosures have been made.
