5 REPORT OF THE BOARD

5.1 Overview of the Operating Results during the Reporting Period

In the first half of 2020, the international economic situation remained complex, and the global economy faced severe risks and challenges. The unexpected COVID-19 outbreak brought unprecedented impact, which led to the deep recession of the global economy. In the first half of the year, prevention and control measures against the epidemic and economic and social development were promoted nationwide in a coordinated way. The domestic economy went down first and then rose with steady recovery due to the function of a series of policies on the basis of strict prevention measures against the epidemic at the early stage and gradual release of the lock-down measures.

During the Reporting Period, the Group's revenue amounted to RMB39,431.807 million (same period in 2019: RMB42,717.729 million), representing a year-on-year decrease of 7.69%. Among the principal businesses, revenue from the offshore engineering business and industrial city development business increased significantly, revenue from the logistics services business and finance and asset management business sustained stable growth, while revenue from the container manufacturing, road transportation vehicles, energy/chemical and liquid food equipment, airport facilities/fire safety and automated logistics equipment and heavy trucks businesses declined to a certain extent. During the Reporting Period, the Group's net loss attributable to the shareholders and other equity holders of the parent company amounted to RMB182.797 million (same period in 2019: net profit amounted to RMB679.829 million), representing a year-on-year decrease of 126.89%.

5.2 Review of the Principal Businesses during the Reporting Period

The Group is a world leading equipment and solution provider in logistics and energy industries, and is principally engaged in the manufacture of containers, road transportation vehicles, energy/ chemical and liquid food equipment, offshore engineering equipment, airport facilities/fire safety and automated logistics equipment, as well as the provision of relevant services, including the design and manufacture of international standard dry containers, reefer containers, special- purpose containers, tank containers, wooden container floorboards, road tank trucks, natural gas processing equipment and static tanks, road transportation vehicles, heavy trucks, jack-up drilling platforms, semi-submersible drilling platforms, special vessels, passenger boarding bridges and bridge-mounted equipment, airport ground support equipment, fire safety and rescue vehicles, and the design, manufacture and services of automated logistics system and intelligent parking system. In addition, the Group is also engaged in logistics services business, industrial city development, finance and asset management business, unit load business and other businesses. Through business expansion and technology development, the Group has formed an industry cluster focusing on key equipment and solutions provided for the logistics and energy industries.

Currently, the Group is ranked No. 1 in the world in terms of production and sales of standard dry containers and reefer containers; according to statistics from the International Tank Container Organisation, the production and sales of tank containers is ranked No. 1 in the world; the Group is the top semi-trailer manufacturer in the world in terms of sales volumes; the Group's comprehensive competitiveness in boarding bridge business ranks among the world's leaders, as one of the world's three largest passenger boarding bridge manufacturers, and its market share in China has reached more than 95% for four consecutive years; and the Group is also one of the leading high-end offshore engineering equipment enterprises in China.

During the Reporting Period, there was no significant change in the principal business model of the Group, and the businesses contributing 10% or more to the Group's revenue included container manufacturing, road transportation vehicles, energy, chemical and liquid food equipment and logistics services, respectively.

Container Manufacturing Business

The Group's container manufacturing business mainly consists of standard dry containers, reefer containers and special-purpose containers. The Group has the capacity to produce a full series of container products with independent intellectual property rights. Special-purpose containers include North American domestic 53-foot containers, European pallet wide containers, bulk containers, special-purpose reefer containers, flatracks and other products. During the Reporting Period, the Group remained No. 1 in the industry in terms of production and sales of containers.

In the first half of 2020, the pace of global economic growth slowed down amid the epidemic. Consequently, the global trade volume declined sharply and the growth rate of container transportation demand fell into a negative range, and customers significantly reduced their purchases of new containers. However, the lower manufacturing costs resulted from the decrease in the price of steel and other materials, coupled with the context of the industry's healthy and sustainable development actions, led to an obvious year-on-year container price hike. As a result, the overall profit margin of container industry maintained at a good level this year.

10

During the Reporting Period, affected by the declined demand for container business, the accumulated sales volume of ordinary dry containers of the Group reached 358,300 TEUs (same period in 2019: 573,600 TEUs), representing a year-on-year decrease of 37.53%; the accumulated sales volume of reefer containers reached 53,600 TEUs (same period in 2019: 50,700 TEUs), representing a year-on-year increase of 5.72%. The container business of the Group recorded a revenue of RMB8,448.783 million (same period in 2019: RMB11,332.500 million), representing

  1. year-on-yeardecrease of 25.45%; and a net profit of RMB238.928 million (same period in 2019: RMB37.580 million), representing a year-on-year increase of 535.78%.

In the first half of 2020, the market demand for containers decreased significantly as compared to the same period last year. Notwithstanding the lower sales volume as compared to the same period last year, the standard dry containers enjoyed an obvious quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year per container price hike in the second quarter, and the reefer container business recorded a slight year-on-year increase. Overall, the profit margin of the Group in container business increased considerably as compared to the same period last year, and the production and operation were carried out in a normal and stable manner.

Road Transportation Vehicles Business

CIMC Vehicles (Group) Co., Ltd. ("CIMC Vehicles"), a subsidiary of the Group, is principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of semi-trailers, truck bodies for specialty vehicles and refrigerated van bodies. CIMC Vehicles' product portfolio mainly include (1) global semi- trailer products, comprising skeletal container semi-trailers, flatbed trucks and their derivatives, curtain side semi-trailers, van semi-trailers, refrigerated semi-trailers, tank semi-trailers and other special types of semi-trailers; (2) China's truck bodies for specialty vehicles, comprising urban muck truck bodies and cement mixer truck bodies and fully-assembled vehicles; (3) refrigerated van bodies. Since tapping into the semi-trailer industry in 2002, CIMC Vehicles has maintained its leading position in the industry by building and improving a comprehensive "high-end manufacturing system", with its operational and technical advantages established on "concentration and innovation".

In the first half of 2020, the globalization of road transportation vehicles business was continuously affected by the global outbreak and spread of the COVID-19 epidemic as well as the impact of Sino-US trade tariffs. In the domestic market of semi-trailers, the Work Safety Commission

of the State Council deployed the "Three-year Action Plan for National Safety Production Special Rectification" (全國安全生產專項整治三年行動計劃) in the first half of this year,

which promoted the replacement of second-generationsemi-trailers and the improvement of quality of semi-trailers in China. In the domestic market of specialty vehicles, the market sales rebounded rapidly, as driven by the greater efforts to invest in infrastructure in China. In the domestic market of refrigerated trucks, more consumers preferred to purchase consumer goods under e-commerce model due to the COVID-19 epidemic, driving the accelerated growth of the refrigerated van market. In the overseas market, there were many uncertainties in overseas markets because the downward pressure on the global economy has intensified and the export of foreign trade products have been blocked.

During the Reporting Period, the road transportation vehicles business of the Group achieved a total sales volume of 77,944 units/sets (same period in 2019: 90,123 units/sets), representing

  1. year-on-yeardecrease of 13.51%; recorded a sales revenue of RMB11,190.519 million (same period in 2019: RMB12,713.598 million), representing a year-on-year decrease of 11.98%; and a net profit of RMB698.246 million (same period in 2019: RMB845.041 million), representing a year-on-year decrease of 17.37%.

11

In the domestic market: (1) CIMC Vehicles actively implemented the core measures of upgrading the "product modules" and continued to improve the "lighthouse" factories of CIMC Vehicles in China, which significantly increased the unit price and gross profit margin of semi-trailer products; (2) The industry-leading automated coating production line of Luoyang production base under CIMC Vehicles was successfully put into operation, which marked a major breakthrough in the upgrade of the production line of truck bodies for specialty vehicles of CIMC Vehicles. Cement mixer truck and urban muck truck bodies achieved good sales performance, gross profit margin remained stable, and products are among the best in the industry; (3) CIMC Vehicles launched the environmentally friendly, energy-saving and high-end refrigerated van bodies, which led the market in terms of sales volume. It also actively developed new retails, leading to significant increase in revenue and gross profit margin; (4) As the supply chain gradually returned to normal in the second quarter, revenue from components business in the PRC market stabilized.

In overseas markets: (1) For semi-trailer business in North America, during the epidemic, more than 10,000 units of semi-trailers were produced and delivered in the North American market with stable average gross profit margin and the localization of production and manufacturing process was also accelerated; (2) For semi-trailer business in Europe, LAG Trailer NV Bree, a subsidiary of CIMC Vehicles, had good control over the impact of the epidemic, and thus, production efficiency and order delivery gradually recovered, and gross profit margin increased; while SDC Trailer Ltd. was affected by the epidemic, and its revenue and gross profit margin declined as compared with the same period last year; (3) The supply chain of components in overseas markets has been impacted significantly, which affected the components business in North America, Europe and other markets, leading to a decline in revenue.

Energy, Chemical and Liquid Food Equipment Business

The Group's energy, chemical and liquid food equipment business segment is principally engaged in the design, development, manufacturing, engineering, sales and operations of various transportation, storage and processing equipment widely used in three sectors, namely clean energy, chemical environment and liquid food, as well as provision of relevant technical and maintenance services. The main operating entity is CIMC Enric Holdings Limited ("CIMC Enric").

During the Reporting Period, the Group's energy, chemical and liquid food equipment business recorded a revenue of RMB5,797.777 million (same period in 2019: RMB7,181.715 million), representing a year-on-year decrease of 19.27%; the net profit amounted to RMB156.838 million (same period in 2019: RMB363.421 million), representing a year-on-year decrease of 56.84%. Among the three major business segments of CIMC Enric, a subsidiary of the Group, the clean energy business recorded a revenue of RMB2,993.243 million (same period in 2019: RMB3,120.071 million), representing a year-on-year decrease of 4.1%; the chemical environment business recorded a revenue of RMB1,072.219 million (same period in 2019: RMB1,932.867 million), representing a year-on-year decrease of 44.5%; the liquid food business recorded a revenue of RMB1,021.611 million (same period in 2019: RMB1,507.136 million), representing a year-on-year decrease of 32.2%.

12

In the first half of 2020, the Group's energy, chemical and liquid food equipment business was affected by the COVID-19 epidemic. The production activities were delayed. The business suspension of customers also delayed the site work (especially the work of overseas projects) to different extent. (1) The clean energy segment: The segment adhered to the main development path of our core business, namely "equipment manufacturing + engineering services + comprehensive solutions", actively kept in line with national policies, and strategically deployed the entire industrial chain of natural gas. But the delivery and performance of customers' orders was delayed by the suspension of production and site work caused by the lockdown measures for fighting COVID-19. However, as the country announced stricter vehicle emission standards, the market witnessed rising demands for LNG-driven heavy trucks, which stimulated the sales volume of LNG fuel tanks to grow. (2) The chemical environment segment: Demands for standard tank containers decreased since the second half of 2019, and the overall demand in the tank container market declined significantly as the COVID-19 epidemic had a negative impact on the global trade. Although the segment was faced with pressure in the short term, its market position will be further enhanced in the long run. (3) The liquid food segment: Most of the businesses in the segment involved site work, and the outbreak of COVID-19 delayed the site work to a great extent, leading to the failure to realize delivery as scheduled. Despite that, the liquid food segment still strived to become the largest global engineering supplier in the distilled liquor industry. In the first half of 2020, the segment acquired 100% equity interest of McMillan (Coppersmiths

  • Fabricators) Ltd., which will help the segment realize full industrial chain coverage in the distilled liquor industry.

Offshore Engineering Business

Established under CIMC Raffles Offshore (Singapore) Limited ("CIMC Raffles"), a subsidiary of the Group, are four R&D and design companies, three construction bases and six operation and management companies, whose integrated operation model comprises design, procurement, manufacture, construction, commission and operation, and possesses the capability of mass and industrialised construction of high-end offshore engineering equipment and other special vessels as a general contractor.

Since 2016, the international oil prices have been generally fluctuating at low levels. Under the tremendous impact of COVID-19 on the global crude oil market, crude oil prices plummeted to bottom in the first quarter of 2020. The low-oil-price business environment has had a direct impact on major energy companies in the world, who have unanimously announced investment cuts.

During the Reporting Period, as new orders for offshore engineering entered the construction period, the offshore engineering business of the Group recorded a revenue of RMB2,527.837 million (same period in 2019: RMB1,687.079 million), representing a year-on-year increase of 49.84%; and a net loss of RMB889.767 million (same period in 2019: net loss of RMB703.312 million), representing a year-on-year loss increase of 26.51%.

13

In the first half of 2020, CIMC Raffles newly acquired effective orders with a value of USD163 million, and the accumulated value of orders on hand reached USD765 million, of which non-oil and gas orders accounted for approximately 70%, showing a continuous growth trend. Newly acquired effective orders include 5 oil-and-gas modular projects, 4 offshore wind power projects, 1 fishery project, 1 traditional drilling and special ship business line project, and 1 ship repairing project. Project construction: the Sweden roll-onroll-off vessel H487 and the Y-TYPE yacht carrier H485 held the kick-off ceremony in March 2020; YinsonManiford module project contract and the wind power jacket project of Guangzhou Salvage Bureau under the Ministry of Transport both kicked off in April 2020; and "Bohai Hengtong", the largest multifunctional RORO in Asia, was launched in the same month, which represents the first project of CIMC Raffles in transformation for new growth drivers under the sluggish oil and gas market condition. Delivery: "Nordlaks", the world's most automated deep sea breeding vessel, was completed and delivered in April 2020; Genghai 1# Project, a blooming marine flower of steel, was towed and delivered in May; and the hull building project for Lingshui 17-2semi-submersible platform was successfully completed and delivered at the construction base, Haiyang CIMC Raffles Wharf, in June.

Airport Facilities, Fire Safety and Automated Logistics Equipment Business

The principal businesses of the Group's airport facilities, fire safety and automated logistics system business are carried out through its subsidiary CIMC-TianDa Holdings Company Limited ("CIMC TianDa").

During the Reporting Period, the airport facilities, fire safety and automated logistics system business of the Group recorded a revenue of RMB2,190.809 million (same period in 2019: RMB2,353.548 million), representing a year-on-year decrease of 6.91%; and a net profit of RMB78.474 million (same period in 2019: RMB73.964 million), representing a year-on-year increase of 6.10%.

In the first half of 2020, the operation of the Group's airport facilities, fire safety and automated logistics system business is as follows: (1) The airport facilities equipment business: Affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, the Group's delivery and installation progress of boarding bridges and bridge-mounted equipment was delayed by going out and travel restrictions and other epidemic containment measures. As the epidemic prevention and control reported positive development, the Group made great efforts to catch up the schedule, and currently most of the projects are able to realize delivery and sales recognition in the second half as scheduled. In February, the Group won the bid for the boarding bridges and bridge-mounted equipment project of Clark International Airport in Philippines, with the value of order exceeding RMB70 million. The strength of professional service teams and the advantage of sufficient subcontracting resources of our overseas enterprises were fully exploited in supporting on-time delivery of overseas projects amid epidemic containment. (2) The fire and rescue vehicle business: Sales revenue and profit in the first half of 2020 recorded a decrease from the level of last year, for the production plan was affected by the supply chain issues (especially for imported chassis). Completing the acquisition of equity interest of Shanghai Jindun Special Vehicle Equipment Co., Ltd., Shenyang Jietong Fire Truck Co., Ltd and Albert Ziegler GmbH last year, CIMC TianDa has become the largest domestic fire truck group, and the strategic layout in respect of market, product and production has also been improved, which laid down a solid foundation for realizing the next plan of becoming the industry champion. The Group is now promoting the integrated operation of fire safety business unit to realize the maximum synergy, and the fire and rescue vehicle business will experience further development after the impact of COVID-19 fades away. (3) The

14

automated logistics systems business: The Group continued to consolidate the logistics business unit vigorously, remained focused on the business and market, and became the reputable and reliable representative of automation solution providers to certain industries. While improving the project management, the Group developed competitive advantages of professionalism and high-efficient delivery. Although the project progress was delayed by COVID-19 in the first half of 2020, relevant parties have fully returned to work as the epidemic control reported positive results in China, and measures including adjusting the schedule and intensifying work efforts will be taken in the future.

Heavy Trucks Business

The Group operates the heavy trucks business through its subsidiary C&C Trucks Co., Ltd. ("C&C Trucks"). The strategic vision of C&C Trucks is to build a high-quality heavy truck brand and provide the modernized transportation and logistics with first-class products and services. Its key products cover two categories, namely diesel and natural gas, and four series, namely tractors, mixer trucks, dump trucks, cargo trucks and special-purpose vehicles.

During the Reporting Period, the overall sales volume of C&C Trucks was 3,006 vehicles (same period in 2019: 3,646 vehicles), representing a year-on-year decrease of 17.55%. Sales revenue amounted to RMB880.921 million (same period in 2019: RMB1,111.420 million), representing

  1. year-on-yeardecrease of 20.74%, and a net loss of RMB137.999 million (same period in 2019: a net loss of RMB43.698 million) was recorded, representing a year-on-year loss increase of 215.80%.

In the first half of 2020, the sales volume of C&C Trucks saw a relatively sharp year-on-year decline due to COVID-19 and other reasons. In spite of that, C&C Trucks focused on products, regional markets and channels in the first half, strengthened marketing system construction and strategy adjustment, and established a dedicated group to handle historical accounts receivable and slow-moving inventories and to vitalise existing assets. It further promoted the product lightweight development and the cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

Logistics Services Business

The logistics service business of the Group is committed to becoming the leader characterising with "equipment + service" in multimodal transport industry in the PRC, focusing on the multimodal transport network layout of major domestic seaports, Yangtze River ports, railway central stations and major international routes. By carrying out equipment leasing and selling business, station operation business, freight services business, as well as ecological support business such as shipping agency, customs declaration, barge and fleet service, the Group endeavors to build a multimodal transport development model combining containers, goods and yards with railway stations as the foundation, equipment as the support, and cargo control as its core.

The unexpected COVID-19 outbreak had a great impact on the logistics sector and market in the first half of 2020. Countries hit by the epidemic were faced with economic downturn, which led to declining overall demands for international multimodal transport and project logistics. Consequently, our principal businesses were affected to different extent. In the first half of 2020, the logistics services business of the Group focused on multimodal transport strategy with the aim of proactively promoting new businesses, exploring new models, implementing multiple measures, controlling costs and capturing opportunities amid difficulties, thereby making progress in terms of both business transformation development and organizational management operation.

15

During the Reporting Period, the Group's logistics services business recorded a revenue of RMB4,451.534 million (same period in 2019: RMB4,310.316 million), representing a year-on- year increase of 3.28%; net profit was RMB232.089 million (same period in 2019: RMB90.772 million), representing a year-on-year increase of 155.68%, which was mainly affected by the gain arising from the transfer of equity interests in certain subsidiaries to unit load business during the Reporting Period.

In the second half of 2020, as the epidemic is controlled, the domestic manufacturing sector will recover gradually, and the international logistics business is expected to stabilize. The Group will continue to invest in developing the multimodal passage network, controlling core resources and expanding markets, and will also continue to enhance the cost management.

Industrial City Development Business

The industrial city development business of the Group is operated mainly through its controlled subsidiary Shenzhen CIMC Industry & City Development Group Co., Ltd. ("CIMC Industry

  • City") and its subsidiaries. Its principal businesses include the development of complexes in industrial cities, development and operation of industrial parks, etc.

The main operating entities consist of CIMC Financial Leasing Co., Ltd., CIMC Finance Co., Ltd. and offshore engineering asset management platform companies.

16

During the Reporting Period, the finance and asset management business realized a revenue of RMB1,134.684 million (same period in 2019: RMB940.284 million), representing a year-on- year increase of 20.67%. Net profit amounted to RMB178.750 million (same period in 2019: RMB199.065 million), representing a year-on-year decrease of 10.21%.

In the first half of 2020, CIMC Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. firmly adhered to the strategic positioning of "integration of industry and finance", focused on the Group's core business ecosystem, consolidated the operational and financial synergies in the Group's manufacturing segment, stuck to the strategy of "quality first, strict risk control" and further adjusted and improved the comprehensive risk management system.

In the first half of 2020, CIMC Finance Co., Ltd. launched comprehensive services to meet financing requirements of member companies and industry chain enterprises, set differentiated financial service plans during the outbreak of COVID-19, and offered enterprises different financial support based on their locations, industries and business types. It provided a total of RMB6,700 million in the first half of 2020 by renewing credit, granting new credit, deferring interest payment and reducing charges, thus ensuring a smooth capital chain of the Group with multiple measures. In the meantime, CIMC Finance Co., Ltd. strictly implemented the management and control measures of the Group for special period, further strengthened the centralized capital management, improve the liquidity and enhanced the risk management to ensure that the overall capital chain of the Group was safe and stable.

In the first half of 2020, CIMC's offshore engineering asset management business quickly responded to negative impacts of COVID-19. On one hand, it coordinated resources to actively prevent the epidemic and ensured that projects were not suspended due to the epidemic. On the other hand, it strengthened the cooperation with core customers to achieve the stability and timely collection of leases on hand. For asset operation, 9 enforceable leases were signed. In particular, the "Deepsea Yantai" semi-submersible drilling platform had a lease rate of 99.9% in the first half of 2020, and assisted the owner to discover new oil and gas resources in the North Sea of Norway. The "Blue Whale No. II" ulta-deep water drilling platform made contributions to the success of China's second round of natural gas hydrate pilot production. The "OOS Tiradentes" life support platform operating in Brazil received a new operation notice from Petrobras; several jack-up drilling platforms continued to operate in the Bohai Bay and the Gulf of Mexico where the timely collection rate remained above 90%.

Unit Load Business

In March 2020, the Group integrated member companies which were engaged in the logistics vehicles business and established CIMC Unit Load Holdings Co., Ltd. ("CIMC Unit Load"). The company has three major business lines: research, development and manufacturing, leasing operation and multimodal transport, focuses on automobile, liquid chemical and rubber industries and provides professional and comprehensive solutions for integrating packaging and transportation of unitized logistics vehicles. After the integration, CIMC Unit Load is of great significance to realize the strategy of "focusing on smart logistics equipment".

During the Reporting Period, the unit load business realized a revenue of RMB1,286.512 million and recorded a net loss of RMB0.74 million under the impact of macro environment.

17

In the first half of 2020, vehicle manufacturing, leasing operation and multimodal transport businesses of CIMC Unit Load were affected by COVID-19 and global trade frictions to different extent. The vehicle manufacturing was affected by the epidemic, which led to significant decrease in the revenue and the net profit generated from domestic and overseas markets from the levels of corresponding period of last year, especially the overseas market. Although currently the market continues to recover, it rebounds with a weak momentum, and some countries and regions report resurgence of the outbreak. The leasing operation was less affected by the epidemic and maintained a stable operation; the multimodal transport business was hit the worst among the three, and the main reasons were that: economic activities almost stagnated, and people were forbidden from going out or travelling in February to April due to COVID-19; domestic ports, railway stations and other logistics points suspended operation for a period of time, which led to high costs of capacity idleness incurred on ships, vehicles and transportation resources in this business line. Faced with the severe external environment, CIMC Unit Load adopted a series of measures and the business has a positive net profit at present.

Others Businesses:

Modular Building Business

CIMC Modular Building Investment Company Limited ("CIMC Modular"), a subsidiary of the Group, is engaged in modular building business. As a company that is customer-centric,technology-led and innovation-driven, CIMC Modular develops a one-stop service model of "manufacturing + finance + service" integrating the production and finance, striving to become a technological leader in global green modular buildings. During the Reporting Period, the

"Technical Regulations for Box-Type Steel Structure Integrated Modular Buildings (《箱式鋼 結構集成模塊建築技術規程》)" compiled by CIMC Modular was promulgated and formally

implemented by the China Association for Engineering Construction Standardization. The establishment of a design institute with Grade A design qualification has further improved the position of CIMC Modular in the domestic industry.

Overseas markets: The modular building business further cultivated the existing markets amid the COVID-19 epidemic. In the meantime, expansion in Northern Europe market delivered positive outcomes: the first steel structure modular hotel project delivered in Iceland was completed and received great attention from all sectors of the local community; during the Reporting Period, the business obtained the technology certification from authoritative institutions in Norway, and the first modular hotel project was signed with the strategic partner in Norway, the delivery of which is expected to be completed in August.

Given that the domestic cold chain logistics market is more standardized and that demands grow continuously and rapidly, the Company is upbeat about the future of cold chain business.

5.3 Prospects and Initiatives

5.3.1 Industry Development Trends and Market Outlook in the Second Half of 2020

In the second half of 2020, the domestic economy will gradually recover and improve from the impact of COVID-19 epidemic, and the global economy will gradually show marginal improvement to a lesser extent. Although there are still uncertainties in multilateral trade, especially the economic and trade relationship between China and the United States, global shipping, especially containers trade has shown trends of bottoming out and recovery. It is expected that the impact of COVID-19 epidemic will gradually weaken, and the global economy will recover slowly. In the second half of 2020, a series of economic policies introduced by China, especially the establishment of "a development pattern in which domestic economic cycle plays a leading role while international economic cycle remains its extension and supplement", are expected to promote the steady recovery of domestic demand, and the quarter-by-quarter growth of domestic economy will become the general trend.

19

In respect of the container manufacturing business: According to the latest prediction made by CLARKSON (an authoritative industry analyst), the volume of global container trade would bottom out and meet a turning point, while the growth of trade will rebound to 7.4% till 2021. Affected by the continued global spread of the epidemic, demand in the container industry dropped significantly in the first half of 2020, and the customers generally strengthened their control over costs and cash flow and were relatively not willing to purchase containers. With the gradual resumption of work and release of limits in Europe and the United States, the container trade is gradually recovering, coupled with factors such as the better-than-expectedearnings of container industry in the first half of 2020 and the seasonal market boom in the third quarter, customers' willingness to purchase containers will increase significantly in the second half of 2020. The World Container Index assessed by Drewry, an international shipping research and consulting firm, has rebounded rapidly since July, hitting a record high in 2020. It is expected that there will be great improvement in demand for containers in the second half of 2020 compared with that in the first half of 2020, and the demand for the whole year will slightly decrease compared with last year. However, the demand will probably rebound next year.

In respect of road transportation vehicles business: The manufacturing segment is faced with

strong headwinds in the path of globalization in the second half of 2020: the escalating trade frictions between China and the United States, and the cyclical falling demands of semi-trailers in the European market. In contrast, China's transportation industry enters the window period for upgrading. As the new national standard of second-generationsemi-trailers becomes effective in 2020, the 17.5-meter flatbed semi-trailers and the ultra-long fence semi-trailers, currently in service in China, are expected to be replaced by van semi-trailers and curtain side semi- trailers, and the upgrading of semi-trailers driven by the Chinese government's effort to regulate overloading will be promoted from a small scope to a large scale. From a micro perspective, specialty vehicles, eco-friendly urban muck truck bodies and light-weight durable cement mixer truck are benefiting from the Chinese government's strong environmental protection initiatives and strict overloading regulation, and are embracing a development window period. After the COVID-19 epidemic, demands for urban muck trucks and cement mixer trucks that meet the standard will rise strongly; China's fresh product logistics will also enter a long-term growth cycle as the service industry accounts for a greater proportion in the GDP. Demands for refrigerated vans and urban distribution vehicles will become strong after the COVID-19 epidemic.

20

In respect of energy, chemical and liquid food equipment business: As the epidemic is controlled effectively in the country, the resumption of work and production will be promoted in an orderly manner in the second half of 2020; China's economy recovers steadily since the second quarter, and the market expects that the overall economy will witness positive development. China's natural gas consumption demands will continue to grow; therefore, demands for LNG storage and transportation equipment and downstream application equipment will increase greatly, and the clean energy segment as a whole will benefit from the trend. For the chemical environment segment, demands for tank containers in emerging markets will experience gradual growth in response to the replacement and upgrading of traditional transportation modes for local chemical sectors and the high attention to safe, green and efficient transportation of hazardous goods, which will support the global tank container market to maintain a certain level of growth. In the meantime, the country has increased inputs in water environment, air pollution, soil pollution and industrial solid wastes year on year, which will continuously create favorable conditions to the prospect of chemical environment segment. In the liquid food segment, the development strategy will be reviewed continuously; the segment will actively explore more business opportunities, and make full use of its ability to improve the business positioning.

In respect of the offshore engineering business: In the second half of 2020, the outbreak of the epidemic and low oil prices together with the major trend of energy transition in future will accelerate the transition from traditional oil and gas to offshore renewable energy with current focus on the expansion of offshore wind power along with future development of offshore hydrogen production, offshore energy (wave energy, tidal energy, temperature difference energy, etc.). To mitigate the impact of the oil and gas cycle fluctuations, non-gasand oil offshore business will be greatly expanded, and it will become the major development momentum in future. Currently, the Group places a particular emphasis on the development of the offshore industry such as deep-seaand offshore fishery that is closely related to big spending.

In respect of the airport facilities, fire safety and automated logistics equipment business: In the second half of 2020, due to relaxation of epidemic prevention and control measures in regions and implementation of stimulus policies by the government, it is expected that the overall demand for airport facilities in the market will remain strong. The growth momentum is mainly attributable to facilities upgrade, smart renovation and airport services. In terms of airport facilities equipment business, the GSE (Ground Support Equipment) business, our shuttle buses will continue to maintain its leading position in the industry. The Group will strive to develop other special environmental-friendlyvehicles to satisfy the demand for "green airport". Regarding the fire safety and rescue business, the global market will demonstrate an upward trend amid overall stability. There will be updated and new demand in developed countries and developing countries, respectively. The boundary of the fire safety and rescue equipment in the PRC will be reshaped. The sector will witness an increase in market demand and a decrease in market share of imported enterprise, which will be beneficial to the enhancement in market share of domestic leading enterprises. The domestic market demand will increase after the epidemic. In addition, due to rapid development of urbanization construction nationwide, cities are ripe to be equipped with a comprehensive fire safety and rescue equipment system, which will be conducive to the development of the fire vehicles and fire equipment business. With respect to the automated logistics systems business, resumption of work and production will be affected to a certain extent as a result of insufficient raw materials and labor force under the impact of the epidemic. However, according to the review and implication of the outbreak of "SARS" in 2003 and MERS in the South Korea in 2015, both manufacturing industry and logistics industry demonstrated strong resilience after the epidemic was under control. With regard to this, the automated logistics market will maintain a rapid development trend going forward.

21

In respect of the heavy trucks business: In the second half of 2020, the sales of heavy trucks will be significantly enhanced due to eco-upgrade undertaken by the government, elimination of the yellow-label vehicles, upgrade of China III vehicles, investment and construction of major infrastructure projects for internal demand in respective provinces, extraordinary development of e-commerce, Wechat merchants and new retail industry, development and upgrade of green tunnels and cold chain logistics. There will be significant market opportunities for diesel trucks, natural gas trucks, tractors, dump trucks, mixer trucks, various general cargo and dangerous goods trucks meeting China V and China VI emission standards. Regulations governing overloading and legal limit will remain strict. The decrease in transportation capability will result in an increase in demand. Furthermore, there will be increasing development opportunities for light weighted, standard transportation and compliant vehicles.

In respect of the logistics services business: In the second half of 2020, the successive introduction of policies to encourage the development of import and export logistics enterprises, such as stabilizing foreign trade, taxes and fees reducing, one-stop customs clearance, and actively promoting multimodal transport and railway reform by the PRC government will bring good opportunities for the development of logistics business. However, due to the shift of the manufacturing industry, the long-term effect of the epidemic and the trade frictions between the PRC and the US, in the second half of 2020, the burden on import and export business in the PRC remains heavy, and there are still uncertainties in logistics business.

In respect of industrial city development business: The economy will be subject to numerous uncertainties in the second half of 2020. But the industrial city development business will see the co-existenceof opportunities and challenges as the epidemic will be controlled by the country and the economy will recover gradually. On the one hand, the COVID-19epidemic and the new urbanization will promote the industry chain reorganization and the production space reconstruction; the epidemic will stimulate the development of new industries and the transition and upgrading of traditional industries; the country will vigorously advance the new infrastructure. All of these will bring tremendous opportunities to the industrial city development business. The falling loan prime rate (LPR) and the easing monetary policy will also be favorable for industrial parks to develop and operate and to seek financial resources, thus relieving the operation pressure. On the other hand, the land use policy for the industry will be stricter, which, coupled with the requirement of development smart industrial park, the financialization trend of industrial park assets and the escalated industry reshuffle, will set higher requirements to the expansion of the industrial city development business, the industrial park construction, the industry operation and the capital management ability.

In respect of finance and asset management business: In the second half of 2020, the finance lease industry will shift from the exponential growth to the steady development stage under the backdrop of COVID-19epidemic, downturn pressure on both the national economy and the world's economy, and normalization of finance lease regulation; the industry will witness a slower growth. CIMC Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. will return to the original mission of leasing business, deeply cultivate the physical industry, combine capital with equipment, make use of Fintech and develop the competitive advantages of professionalism and differentiation based on leased assets. In the second half of 2020, as the global offshore engineering asset management industry will further carry out the transition of the mode of development from scale to quality, the high-qualityoffshore engineering assets currently held by the Company will play a dominant role to realize further development of its business in foreign and domestic markets. In addition, CIMC's offshore engineering asset management business will further follow national and local policies to achieve an integrated development of its business and local economy.

22

In respect of unit load business: The government will adopt the strategy of stimulating domestic demands in the second half of 2020 to cope with the economic slowdown. Local governments will announce policies in succession to support the automobile industry; the automobile industry will recover gradually, and the growth of auto mobile sales will turn from negative to positive. As a result, equipment leasing demands of automobile and rubber industries will rebound. Because of the second wave of COVID-19 outbreak and the China-United State trade frictions, the global trade will remain grim, the industrial manufacturing sector will see a weak sales performance, and the liquid chemical (mainly coating) equipment leasing business will be affected greatly. Considering the gradual recovery of domestic economy and the vigorous promotion of new infrastructure, it is expected that railway freight demands will rebound rapidly in the second half of 2020.

5.3.3 Major Risk Factors of the Group

In the second half of 2020, the business operation environment of the Group will still be exposed to the following macroeconomic and policy adjustment risks.

  • Risk of economic periodic fluctuations: The industries that the principal business of the Group is engaged in are dependent on global and domestic economic performance and often vary with economic periodical changes. In recent years, the global economy has become increasingly complex with increasing uncertainty factors. In particular, the rise of the trade protectionism will have a negative impact on the growth of the global economy and trade. Downward pressure on the domestic economy is mounting, the overall economic vitality is weak, and the growth rate of consumption and investment is slowing down. There are risks that the growth of the Group's various principal businesses might slow down. The changes and risks in the global economic environment demand higher requirements on the Group's operating and management capabilities.
  • Risk of economic restructuring and industry policy upgrade in China: China's economy entered into the new normal and the government comprehensively deepened supply-sidestructural reform to push forward the transformation and upgrade of economic structure. The changes in new industrial policies, tax policies, etc. that have a huge impact on business operations have resulted in uncertainties to the future development of the industry. The main businesses of the Group, as part of the traditional manufacturing industries, will face certain policy adjustment risks in the coming years.
  • Risk of trade protectionism and anti-globalisation:As affected by trade protectionism measures implemented by China and the US as well as the US presidential election, the unilateralism prevails in the US and it frequently takes unfair trade protectionism measures against Chinese enterprises. Along with the worldwide outbreak of the epidemic, the trend of anti-globalisationis becoming more obvious. Part of the Group's principal businesses will be affected by global trade protectionism and anti-globalisation,such as anti-monopoly, anti-subsidyand anti-dumpinginvestigations, etc.
  • Fluctuations of financial market and exchange risks: The presentation currency of the consolidated statements of the Group is RMB. The Group's exchange risks are mainly attributable to the foreign currency exposure resulting from the settlement of sales, purchases and finance in currencies other than RMB. During the process of promoting Renminbi internationalisation, and under the backdrop of constant volatility in the global financial market, the exchange rate of RMB against USD will fluctuate with increasing frequency and volatility, thus making it more difficult for the Group to manage its foreign currencies and capitals.
  • Market competition risks: The Group faces competition from both domestic and foreign enterprises in respect of its various principal businesses. In particular, a weak demand or relative overcapacity will lead to imbalance between supply and demand, which will cause intensified competition in the industry. In addition, the competition pattern of the industry may change due to entry of new players or improved capacity of existing competitors.

26

  • Employment and environmental protection pressure and risks: With demographic changes in China and gradual loss of demographic dividend, labour costs in China's manufacturing industries have been continuously rising. Automation represented by robots is becoming one of the key directions for future upgrading of the traditional manufacturing industries. In addition, China has been attaching increasing attention on environmental protection and carrying out sustainable development strategies, strengthening environmental protection requirements for China's traditional manufacturing industries.
  • COVID-19related risks: Early in 2020, the world was faced with a more severe and complex economic situation as COVID-19 had swept the globe. Although COVID-19 was effectively contained in China for now, it further spread in other countries and regions, and the development in other countries was subject to high uncertainty, all of which had a more complex impact on China's economy. In response to the current severe situation faced by the Group in such a special period, the Group has adopted a series of key measures, such as establishing a "Special Period Decision-making Committee", further enhancing the awareness of risk management and control, and implementing the management and control measures.

Foreign exchange risk and relevant hedge

The major currency of the Group's business revenue is US dollars, while most of its expenditure is made in RMB. As the exchange rates of RMB are affected by domestic and international economic and political situations, and the demand and supply of RMB, the Group is exposed to potential foreign exchange risk arising from the exchange rate fluctuation in RMB against other currencies, which may affect the Group's operating results and financial condition. The management of the Group has closely monitored its foreign exchange risk and taken appropriate measures to avoid foreign exchange risk. The Group utilizes financial derivative instruments to guard against foreign exchange risks. At the end of the Reporting Period, the Group's derivative financial assets and liabilities are set out in the following table.

Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to the market interest rate change risk relating to its interest-bearing bank loans and other borrowings. To minimise the impact of interest rate risk, the Group entered into interest rate swap contracts with certain banks.

The Group's interest rate risks are mainly attributable to long-terminterest-bearing debts including long-term bank borrowings and debentures payable. Financial liabilities issued at floating interest rates expose the Group to interest rate risk of cash flow, and financial liabilities issued at fixed interest rates expose the Group to interest rate risk of fair value. The Group determines the proportion of contracts of fixed interest rate and floating interest rate depending on market conditions at the time. As at 30 June 2020, the Group's long-terminterest-bearing debts are mainly comprised of contracts of floating interest rate denominated in RMB amounting to RMB21,452.107 million (31 December 2019: RMB20,626.847 million).

As at 30 June 2020, if the interest rates of borrowings with floating interest rates increased or decreased by 50 basis points with all other factors keeping the same as previously, the Group's net profit will decrease or increase by RMB80.445 million (31 December 2019: RMB77.351 million).

Credit risk

The Group's exposures to credit risk are mainly attributable to cash at bank and on hand, accounts receivable and derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging. Management will monitor these credit risk exposures on an ongoing basis.

Pledge of assets

As at 30 June 2020, the restricted assets of the Group totally amounted to RMB18,837.699 million (31 December 2019: RMB18,543.985 million), representing an increase of 1.58% as compared with the end of the previous year. For details, please refer to note 14 of "11 2020 Interim Financial Report" in the Announcement.

  1. DIVIDENDS
    The Directors did not propose to declare the interim dividend for the six months ended 30 June 2020 (the corresponding period in 2019: Nil).
  2. SEGMENT REPORTING
    In accordance with the Group's internal organisation structure, management requirement and internal reporting process, nine reportable segments are identified by the Group, including: container manufacturing, road transportation vehicles, energy, chemical and liquid food equipment, offshore engineering, airport facilities equipment, logistics service, finance, industrial city development and heavy trucks. Each reportable segment is an independent business segment providing different products and services. Independent management is applied to individual business segments as different technical and market strategies are adopted. The Group's management reviews the financial information of individual business segments regularly to determine resource allocation and performance assessment.
    In order to assess the segment performance and resources allocation, the Group's management reviews assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and operating results of each segment regularly. The preparation basis of such information is detailed as follows:
    Segment assets include current assets of each segment, such as tangible assets, intangible assets, other long-term assets and receivables, but exclude deferred income tax assets and other unallocated headquarters assets. Segment liabilities include payables, bank borrowings, provisions, special payables and other liabilities of each segment, while deferred income tax liabilities are excluded.
    Segment operating results represents segment revenue (including external revenue and inter-segment revenue), offsetting segment expenses, depreciation and amortisation and impairment losses attributable to assets of each segment, net interest expenditure generated from bank deposits and bank borrowings directly attributable to each segment. Transactions conducted among segments are under similar non-related party transaction commercial terms.
